Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

"My goodness, this child is so handsome!" The others who didn't recognize Grandpa Shen looked at the child who had just carried firewood into the house and were immediately struck by his good looks.

Although they had seen many good-looking people here, the Xia family was the most attractive. Unexpectedly, the little boy who came today was even more beautiful than the Xia family's daughter.

Only after her sister-in-law reminded them did they remember that there was indeed a delicate and handsome little boy who played the piano at the arts festival years ago. However, the boy didn't go to the cafeteria to eat afterwards. When they were watching the girls, they specifically mentioned this boy who was even prettier than those pretty girls.

I hadn't seen her before, but I saw her again today. I just didn't expect that after not seeing her for several years, that child had grown more and more exquisite, and was now even more beautiful than a girl.

"Mr. Shen, is this child yours?" Several people who knew Shen Zhiyuan's father recognized Shen Zhiyuan at a glance. They just didn't expect the child to look so much like his father.

"Yes, he's the only son in my family. He got engaged to Old Xia's daughter back in our hometown last week." Grandpa Shen chuckled and waved his grandson over.

“Ming’er, these are your father’s comrades-in-arms. This is your Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liu, Uncle Chen, and these are your Uncle Tao and Uncle Xiong.”

Shen Zhiyuan called out to each person as the old man had instructed. One of the bags, filled with candy, was handed to him by a young woman standing nearby, and he gave each person a little.

These were wedding candies, so everyone who received them happily accepted them. However, they had left in a bit of a rush today and hadn't brought much with them, so they were all secretly thinking of preparing some gifts to give them back later.

When they heard that he was engaged to the Xia family's daughter, no one was surprised. Such a good-looking boy should be married to a good-looking girl.

The Xia family was the most attractive in their entire residential compound. Especially their daughter, whom Old Xia cherished most, but unexpectedly, her father's son stole her away.

Judging from the old man's tone, it was Old Xia who personally delivered the bok choy; just thinking about it makes me laugh.

But look at the face of this little brat from the Shen family. Not to mention the little girl is confused by him, even they, as grown men, are quite confused by that delicate little face.

If it weren't for her clothes and hair, the first thing you'd see would be a delicate and pretty little girl.

"Ming'er, go pour tea for your uncles and elders. By the way, we're having a banquet in the courtyard these next few days, and you all have to come. I'll have the young couple personally invite you." Old Master Shen felt that regardless of whether his eldest grandson would join the army in the future, his father's comrades-in-arms were all his connections, and he would gradually pass on all the resources he had to his eldest grandson.

"Really? Then we'll definitely get him..." This is the only son left in the Shen family, and Shen's father sacrificed himself to save them. This little brat is like their own son; what kind of son wouldn't sit at the table when his own son is hosting a banquet?

After three days of chaos, the banquet was finally held. Originally, three tables were reserved, mainly for Xia Jixuan's friends and his teammates.

As a result, when they learned that it was the engagement banquet of Old Master Shen's grandson, the entire courtyard of Xia Jixuan's family was filled with people the day before the engagement banquet.

One group came because they knew the old man had brought his eldest grandson and wanted to get to know him; the other group wanted to attend tomorrow's engagement banquet. They were comrades-in-arms with Mr. Shen and Mr. Xia, and since Mr. Shen was no longer with them, they represented him.

Xia Jixuan was helpless. He had originally planned to hold the banquet in the courtyard, but he didn't expect so many people to come. His courtyard simply couldn't accommodate that many tables, so he had to move to the cafeteria.

The prepared ingredients were not enough, so Xia Jixuan had no choice but to take the money and his two sons, and drive two trucks out again.

When they returned, the two trucks were piled high with ingredients. Without saying anything else, they simply hauled all the ingredients from both trucks to the cafeteria.

After securing the ingredients, he asked his daughter to prepare two new outfits. Although it was an engagement banquet, it might be the only time they could hold their wedding banquet here, so they wanted to be well-prepared, and new clothes were definitely a must.

On the day of the banquet, when the engaged couple stepped into the cafeteria, the originally noisy cafeteria instantly fell silent.

Xia Yutang and the others didn't wear any makeup today; they just changed into new clothes.

The meal lasted from noon until the afternoon, with no alcohol served, only soda and tea. Although it consisted only of soda, tea, and soup, it was the happiest gathering Old Master Shen had had in all these years since leaving the military.

After being led around by their parents, the young couple hurried back to their own yard. There were too many people, and the whole place became very lively. So, although there was strict discipline, the older women and their children didn't follow those rules.

Thinking about it, it's better for the two of them to leave; their ears really can't take it anymore.

After saying goodbye to the elders, the two left. The elders knew that the two children didn't like such a noisy environment, so they agreed when the children asked to go back to the courtyard first.

The two finally breathed a sigh of relief when they got home. They changed back into their usual clothes and then decided to cook something for themselves at home.

Since they went out at noon, the two of them have only been drinking tea and soda; they haven't eaten a single bite of food.

There were just too many people, and there were no seats available. Another reason was that the two of them were the main characters of the day, and from the moment they arrived at the venue, they were led around by their elders to meet everyone.

These were all connections they would make in the future, so the two of them took it so seriously that they forgot about it and didn't even eat.

It was almost 3 p.m., and both of them were full of water.

"Ah Yuan, what do you want to eat?"

"We need to see what we have left at home. We've almost used up all our supplies these past few days, so now it's time to eat whatever we have." Shen Zhiyuan had been helping out in the kitchen these past few days, so he knew how much food was left.

"Let's make noodles. There are still some noodles in the cupboard. I wonder if Dad left any meat or other vegetables when he went out today?" Xia Yutang looked through the cupboard and found that there were two packs of noodles and less than five eggs left.

There was no meat or leftovers, so all they could do was fry an egg and boil some noodles.

"Go sit down, I'll be done soon." How can you smuggle goods across the border if you don't let him leave?

"How about I do it?" He had already learned these things, so his wife didn't need to lift a finger.

"No need, I can do it myself. By the way, we have to go back the day after tomorrow. Grandpa, do you want to stay here or come back with us?" From the first day he arrived at the courtyard, the old man had people visiting him every day.

They have two more days before they have to go back. I don't know if the old man wants to stay here or go back with them.
