Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 666 - 662: Little Grandma, Happy New Year

——————

"Yes, please come in quickly. Grandpa must be even more anxious." Yan Jinchang patted his head and then led everyone past the living room to a door, softly explaining:

"Little sister, boss, grandpa really can’t stand the cold, so he has been staying in his room these days. It might be a bit warm inside. Why don’t you take off one layer of coats to avoid catching a cold from going between cold and warm."

Yan Jinchang glanced at the boss, whose dark face showed no expression, wanting to address him as "brother-in-law," but he didn’t have the courage and ended up instinctively shouting "boss."

"Yes, Miss, and son-in-law, the old master has to keep the temperature higher because of his frail health," Aunt Qiu explained softly, following Yan Jinchang.

The "bit warm" that Yan Jinchang mentioned was no mere politeness. Outside in Beijing, the temperature is already minus ten degrees or more, and even in the living room, it is about one or two degrees. But when they finally entered Mr. Yan’s sickroom, that’s when they truly understood the meaning of "a bit warm."

It really was a bit warm. As the room door opened to a gap as wide as a fist, Yan Jinsu felt a wave of heat hit her face!

The temperature must be at least twenty degrees! Is this still winter? It feels more like summer!

Taking off one layer of coat isn’t enough to withstand it; everyone in the group was already wearing thermal underwear. In such a temperature, just staying a bit longer would get you sweaty all over!

After Aunt Qiu finished speaking, she left the door open with a gap of about a finger’s width, allowing people to feel the temperature inside.

Yan Jinsu immediately turned to instruct the two female guards behind her:

"In a moment, Sister Tao, help Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi take off their coats and cotton padded jackets."

Xie Jingchen also silently helped his little wife take off her coat, and like this, the whole group quickly took off their outer garments and closed the room door.

With the warmth inside, even a set of thermal underwear felt too hot. But Yan Jinsu had no more clothes to take off, despite feeling hot.

As for Xie Jingchen, he wasn’t wearing thermal underwear; due to his spiritual power, his body has always been warm and he doesn’t fear the cold at all.

Under his cotton padded military uniform, he was just wearing two simple layers of cotton underwear, not the tight-fitting thermal type. Thus, among all the family members who entered the old master’s room, he was the most comfortable.

Yan Jinsu was surprised to see a relatively young middle-aged lady, about forty or fifty years old, attending to Elder Yan with very affectionate gestures.

"Little sister, I forgot to tell you, this is Little Grandma. This is your first meeting," Yan Jinchang introduced them.

Yan Jinsu slightly furrowed her brows, then relaxed them and nodded, greeting in a neutral tone, "Little Grandma, happy new year."

"Same to you, Miss," Wang Qiuling smiled in response, sitting beside Mr. Yan without standing up to greet the newcomers.

At this point, Yan Xiqing had fallen asleep while waiting, and Yan Jinsu and her group arrived just as he had dozed off.

But before going to sleep, he had instructed his grandson to bring the visitors to his room, so his room was already prepared.

While it was still his room, there were some changes made.

A tea table and a sofa had been placed in the center of the room. Now, everyone was gathered here. Wang Chunmei was taking care of Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi together with the two adorable kids, and with Sister Tao and Sister Gui also there, none of them would let her strain herself with her injury. Three women taking care of two children was quite easy.

Yan Jinsu smiled and remained silent, quietly sitting beside Yan Xiqing.

Wang Qiuling’s gaze turned astringent as she clenched her hands resting on her knees slightly tighter.

Xie Jingchen merely nodded faintly in greeting, and was pulled by Yan Jinchang to sit at the other end of the sofa.

The atmosphere should have been festive, but with unrelated people present, Yan Jinsu’s joy diminished significantly.

However, remembering the old man’s consistent concern for her and learning of his serious illness, Yan Jinsu suppressed her emotions and continued to sit quietly, waiting for Mr. Yan to wake up.

As for Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, they were distracted by the candies, cookies, and toys brought over by Aunt Qiu, and the two siblings squeezed together, playing happily.

The elderly man, a light sleeper, had only dozed off for twenty minutes when he felt the movements in the room and slowly opened his eyes. Lifting his wrinkled eyelids, he saw his beloved granddaughter, who he had been thinking about for a long time, sitting quietly by his side.

"Brother Qing, you’re awake?" Wang Qiuling approached him before Yan Jinsu, and gently helped her husband’s frail body up, tenderly calling out.

However, Yan Xiqing didn’t notice his wife’s subtle move, and instead reached out with his old hand to Yan Jinsu, "You little brat, you finally came. If you didn’t, grandfather wouldn’t have been able to wait any longer..."

"Brother Qing!" Once again, Wang Qiuling cut in before Yan Jinsu, feigning unbearable anxiety.

"It’s okay, I’m just teasing my sweet granddaughter, don’t interrupt," Yan Xiqing waved his hand, signaling Wang Qiuling not to hurry.

Yan Jinsu gave this ’Little Grandma’ a glance. The old lady’s initial subtle actions were too obvious, uh, was she trying to compete for affection with her?

Yet seeing how Elder Yan was not giving her face, she almost burst out laughing. Because of this, Yan Jinsu still spoke up with a word of praise:

"Old man, you’re overthinking, your body could live another ten or eight years without any problems."

Yan Jinsu had originally intended to speak gently to her biological grandfather, but upon facing Elder Yan, her words seemed to come out involuntarily.

Elder Yan’s old face showed delight, and he weakly took hold of Yan Jinsu’s hand, asking cheerfully, "You little brat, as long as you’re alright, that’s good."

Wang Qiuling, however, was shocked by Yan Jinsu’s form of address, her expression extremely astonished and her complexion ashen. She appeared to want to speak, yet deliberately avoided Elder Yan’s gaze, only revealing her displeasure in front of Yan Jinsu.

But Yan Jinsu acted as if she hadn’t noticed; after all, this ’Little Grandma’ really had no relation to her. Her own biological grandmother had passed away decades ago, and this Little Grandma was just a distant relative of her grandmother’s, with any blood relation being quite remote.

Moreover, the one who should be giving Wang Qiuling face was her nominal father, Yan Dongsheng. As for her, the granddaughter raised outside of the family, huh—

Even Elder Yan dared not force her to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the family lineage, so where did this ’Little Grandma’ get the confidence to flaunt her status as an elder in front of her?

"Old man, you take care of your health, and I’ll have Xiao Shi held for you," Yan Jinsu said, seeing that Elder Yan did not look well—after all, he had drained himself too much in his youth, and his body was indeed severely decrepit now.

If not for the good medicines and care provided by Yan Jinsu, he would have turned into a mound of loess long ago.

"Really? Okay, for the sake of my great-grandson, I must take good care of myself." Upon hearing Yan Jinsu’s words, Yan Xiqing immediately responded with joy.

His cloudy eyes then looked towards—
