Male supporting character in a book: Aren’t we brothers?

Jiang Qian'an rested at his eldest brother's place for half a day, and was then taken back to the Jiang family's old house in the afternoon.

The Jiang family's old house is located in a five-courtyard quadrangle near the west third ring road of Beijing. It was passed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family and covers an area of about 5000 square meters.

It was renovated in the early years to be more suitable for modern living convenience. It now has one floor above ground and one floor underground, with a construction area of about 9000 square meters.

The first thing you see when you enter is the back house, the garage, and the servants' quarters. The second entrance leads to the guest house, which then leads to the main hall. Flanked by east and west wing rooms, one side hall houses a tea room, chess room, and meeting room. On the other side are the kitchen, dining room, garden, small lake, and grandstand. The third entrance is to the main house, with the Jiang family's grandparents, father and mother, and the two brothers living on the east and west sides. The two adjacent rooms are the study of father and eldest brother, respectively. The fourth entrance is now Jiang Qian'an's studio and several spare bedrooms. The back room is usually used for miscellaneous items or servants' rooms.

The basement level houses the living room, wine cellar, bar, gym, video studio, library, storage room, and a kitchen for meeting guests. (Don't take this part too seriously; the author is broke and just looked it up online.)

The fact that the Jiang family owns such a large courtyard in the capital of Country H shows that they have a profound background.

It was just past five when I entered. There were only two elderly people watching TV in the main hall. One of them had a kind and gentle appearance, with white hair neatly tied behind his head. Although he was in his twilight years and his figure was slightly hunched, his temperament was hard to conceal, and it was obvious that he was extremely handsome in his youth.

Although the other one has gray hair and his face is full of traces of time, his eyes are sharp and firm, and his facial features show how handsome he was when he was young. However, due to the chronic injuries he suffered from the front line when he was young, his back and legs have varying degrees of damage, and he can only walk slowly with a bent back and a cane.

"Grandpa, grandma, look who's back."

Jiang Qichuan, before I could even see who was inside, he started to attract people.

"Hey, let me see whose boy this is." Grandma Jiang Fang Tang cooperated very well with her eldest grandson's performance. She took out her reading glasses from her pocket and put them on slowly. With a smile in her eyes, she extended her hand and waved to the two of them to come closer in a doting tone.

"Whose family could it be? Of course it's the little cutie from grandpa and grandma's family." Jiang Qian'an sat next to his grandmother very obediently, and his mouth felt as sweet as if it had touched honey.

"Have you lost weight, kid?" Grandpa Jiang Yuan was very happy to see his grandson's well-behaved appearance, but the old man always spoke to the younger generation whom he had not seen for a long time with the filter of "this kid has lost weight".

"No, I didn't. I weighed myself before I came here, and I'm two kilograms heavier than the last time I was at home." This is indeed true. After fainting from hypoglycemia on the first day he came here, he has been exercising every day and intentionally building muscle. Now there is indeed some effect.

"Grandpa, you still have a grandson. Why don't you see if I have lost weight?" Jiang Qichuan said with a resentful look on his face.

"Hey, then come closer so I can take a look." Grandpa Jiang started to carry water.

"Jiang Qian'an looked at the scene in front of him, feeling a little sad.

"Why isn't An An talking? Grandma wants to ask if you had fun in Country Y." Jiang Qichuan saw that he was distracted and patted his shoulder lightly to remind him.

Jiang Qianan came back to his senses immediately: "I'm happy, I also found that there is..."

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren started chatting in the living room. Jiang Qian'an used his clever mouth to make the two old people laugh and talk, and they were very happy.

"What's so good about you? Can you tell us?" Suddenly a cheerful man's voice came from the door.

Jiang Qian'an looked over and saw that it was Jiang's father Jiang Rongzheng and Jiang's mother Shen Yuan.

Father Jiang was dressed in a dark Tang suit, with a tall and straight figure. Although he had entered middle age, his figure had not gained weight like a middle-aged man, but was well maintained. The traces of time on his face were also very shallow. His facial features were of a majestic appearance, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a handsome look. Because he had been in a high position for a long time, his pair of auspicious phoenix eyes were deep and sharp, making people dare not look directly at them, as if they could see through everything. There was an unquestionable majesty in his every move.

Jiang's mother was wearing a green cheongsam, with her hair tied up behind her head with pearl buttons. Time seemed to be particularly kind to her, and had not left too many traces on her, only a sense of maturity. She had a good figure and outstanding temperament. It could be seen that the Jiang brothers' facial features were more like her, with softer features and bright eyes, gentle and firm, like a clear spring. When she was silent, she gave people a cool feeling, but when she spoke and acted, she was elegant and calm, confident and resolute.

At this moment, the usually serious and solemn/cold and calm faces of the two are now filled with the tenderness and love of parents for their children.

"Dad, Mom, you're back." Jiang Qian'an called out.

"Dad, Mom, aren't we having a day off today? Why do we need to go out?" Jiang Qichuan knew very well that his parents were free today, and generally knew that An An would come back and say that he would not go out.

"Well, an old friend invited me and your dad to have tea together." After that, Jiang's mother walked up to Jiang Qian'an, held his little face in one hand and kneaded it, saying: "Let me take a look at An'an. Not bad, not bad. Your little face is not thin at all."

Jiang Qian'an raised his head, forced to endure this sudden wave of maternal love. "Mom, I'm not thin to begin with. Let go of my face, or it won't look good later."

Seeing this, Jiang Qichuan moved a little further away from Jiang's mother. Please, let his younger brother bear this happiness. He doesn't need it.

After hearing Jiang Qian'an's words, Jiang's mother stopped pinching him and put him down. She then moved towards Jiang Qichuan, who was standing next to him. "Xiaochuan's face doesn't seem to be as good as it was last time. Isn't it good to live and eat outside?"

Due to work reasons, Jiang Qichuan usually lives alone outside most of the time.

"Mom, you remembered it wrongly." Jiang Qichuan slowly stopped his own mother's vicious hands.

"Impossible, you weren't this strong the last time you came back."

"Okay, okay, can we eat now? I'm hungry, let's go eat." Jiang Qi'an spoke up at the right time to rescue his elder brother.

His mother had this habit because she particularly wanted a girl and gave birth to a second child, but the second child turned out to be a boy. She was disappointed for a long time. Later, Jiang Qian'an grew up slowly. When he was a child, Jiang Qian'an's little face was so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, and he had a well-behaved personality. When he was too young to remember, Ms. Shen raised him as her daughter for two years. This is why the Shen brothers and sisters and his eldest brother would make him wear skirts when he was a child.

When everyone heard that he was hungry, they did not hesitate to order the food to be served and slowly walked towards the restaurant.

Although the Jiang family is a noble family and they are very strict in etiquette, there are not so many rules at the dinner table. They have to talk and help each other with food, so it is inevitable that Jiang Qian'an's bowl is full of the "care" of his elders. However, the whole family enjoyed the meal very much.
