The full-month banquet was held in a hotel. Jiang Tongtong’s parents came happily, along with some other close relatives.
Grandpa Lin only had three sons. After Lin Gantang’s family fell out with Lin Mingbai and Lin Mingqing, they no longer had any contact with their closest uncles. As for the remaining distant relatives, Mr. Lin couldn’t be bothered to ask them over.
On the other hand, they had invited everyone who could come on Gantang’s mother’s side.
There were also Lin Zhaonan’s good friends and business partners of the Lin family. It was very lively.
The Yin family was not originally on the list of invited guests. However, Jiang Chenying was a good friend of his deceased wife and was very close to his younger generation, so Mr. Lin invited her as well. He also invited Wen Rendong, but he did not know if he would come. In any case, Gantang had already brought gifts to meet him during the Spring Festival. With this relationship, it was inevitable to send an invitation.
Mother Jiang was the first to arrive. She pulled her daughter over to have a private chat. She was very pleased to see that Jiang Tongtong face was ruddy and her health was better than before she gave birth.
“It’s great that you gave birth to a son. Even though the in-laws say that all children are the same, and Zhaonan dotes on you, if a boy is born in such a family, you won’t have so much pressure in the future,” Mrs. Jiang sighed.
“My father-in-law also likes girls.”
“You’re lucky to have married into a good family, so you don’t understand what Mum means,” Mother Jiang said. “But it doesn’t matter. It’s a boy anyway. Are you going to have more in the future?”
“Mum, I just gave birth to this baby,” Jiang Tongtong said helplessly.
“Alright, you and Zhaonan can make your own plans. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or girl. Look at how happy your father-in-law is holding his grandson.”
Jiang Tongtong looked over at Mr. Lin and indeed saw him being joyful in front of his old friends.
“After the one-month celebration, your dad and I are going back. As for you, get along well with Zhaonan. Don’t neglect your husband because of the child, okay?” Mrs. Jiang nagged, worried about her only daughter.
The family conditions of the Jiang family and the Lin family were quite different. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang rarely came here. Firstly, they were not used to it, and secondly, they were afraid that their narrow worldviews would inadvertently cause them to make a fool of themselves and Tongtong would be laughed at by others in this family.
They loved Jiang Tongtong, so they didn’t come to disturb the Lin family’s life and become annoying poor in-laws.
Mrs. Jiang was too careful. She didn’t know that the Lin family had no intention of looking down on her family in private, but as parents, they could not help worrying about their child.
Although it was Little Yi’an’s one-month-old banquet, Mr. Lin did not want his grandson to be burdened. After carrying him to meet a few good friends, he carefully placed the child in Lin Gantang’s arms. “You can carry him to Tongtong’s mother first. I saw that your Auntie Ying is here. You have to go and receive her.”
This wasn’t just a full-month banquet. There was no such thing as a simple banquet for business people. Mr. Lin still had to deal with those in the circle.
Lin Gantang’s gaze landed on Jiang Chenying and Yin Zhen, who had come with her. Yin Zhen also saw her and walked towards her.
“Auntie Ying,” Lin Gantang greeted.
“Tangtang is so beautiful today.” Jiang Chenying looked at the child in her arms and smiled. “He looks like Zhaonan when he was young. He’ll definitely be as handsome as his father when he grows up.
“Here, this is a little gift from Great-aunt to the little baby,” Jiang Chenying spoke to the baby affectionately and stuffed a piece of jade into the swaddling cloth.
Yin Zhen leaned forward and looked at An’an seriously.
Lin Gantang thanked Jiang Chenying on Little Yi’an’s behalf.
At this moment, Wen Yanqing came over. “I’ll carry him. It’s almost time for him to drink milk. I’ll bring him over.”
He took the baby from Lin Gantang’s arms. Only then did Lin Gantang have the time to say to Yin Zhen, “Don’t you have a child at home? Why are you staring at him for so long as if you’ve never seen one before?”
“I find it a little strange.” Yin Zhen frowned..
