Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 424: Intricate Connections

Tan Mu pulled her into his arms and rubbed his chin on her head a few times.

"Little Potato. When I was in high school, I saw you standing next to Wen Xichen, looking so delicate and petite, so I secretly called you Little Potato. Later, you beat him up so fiercely, and I still said that you were a violent Little Potato."

Wen Xin twisted his waist hard, but then buried her face in his chest with red eyes.

She almost thought that Tan Mu had awakened in this world just like her.

"Small potatoes are small potatoes. I quite like them."

Tan Mu sniffed the fragrance of her hair and murmured for a moment: "Then I'll call you Doudou. It's not appropriate to call you Little Potato in front of others."

Wen Xin endured the sourness in her nose, tilted her head back and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

"Then I will call you Tanmu from now on. Tanmu..."

Tan Mu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Wen Xin always called him Tan Mu, just like everyone else, with the emphasis on the word Mu, making him sound serious.

The sound of "sandalwood" (wood) was soft, with a charming and graceful ending, like a feather brushing across the tip of his heart.

The old mother has called him Tanmu for fifty years, but the feeling when calling him that is completely different from that of Little Potato.

This is so tingling and makes my heart flutter...

......

Tan Mu's large SUV drove into the military dormitory. Wen Xin's heart beat faster as he looked at the familiar yet much older courtyard.

Hearing the door open, Mu Mingzhen and Tan Shuyuan came forward.

Wen Xin's eyes warmed up as she looked at the friendly and familiar smiling face. Then she looked down at Mu Mingzhen's enthusiastic hand holding hers, which already had age spots, and she couldn't help but hold it tighter.

Mu Mingzhen was even happier. She pulled Wen Xin to sit on the sofa and started preparing tea and fruit.

The room was filled with a warm atmosphere, and the familiar smell of ginseng chicken soup wafted from the kitchen, making Wen Xin's eyes red again.

She quickly lowered her eyes, picked up the tea and took small sips, trying hard to suppress her excited emotions.

The door rang, Wen Xin looked up and saw Tan Ming, who already had white hair, and next to him was a plump woman and a tall and strong boy.

Mu Mingzhen just introduced that her eldest grandson Tan Yuzhang was attending a tutoring class today and he just rushed here after class.

There is a lot of Tan Ming in Tan Yuzhang's eyes and eyebrows. He greets people in the room generously and it is obvious that he is a well-educated child.

This name also made Wen Xin's heart tremble, and he thought of the cute and tender Tan Yuzhang in that life.

Somehow, these two lives are always inextricably linked.

Everyone exchanged greetings and sat down at the dining table.

Wen Xin quietly observed Tan Ming's family of three.

Tan Ming is not yet of retirement age, but he already has a sense of decadence and is taciturn. Only when he sees Tan Yuzhang will his eyes light up.

"Huihui, you should hurry up and eat something. You don't have to take care of Yuzhang all the time." Mu Mingzhen greeted her sister-in-law.

This name made the teacup in Wen Xin's hand tremble.

She tried to calm down and put down the teacup, then looked at Tan Yuzhang and asked, "Tan Yuzhang, it's a nice name, what are the three characters?"

Tan Mu smiled and continued:

"Yu means wealthy, Zhang means article. Zhang is my sister-in-law's last name. Look at this name, it has the characteristics of the Tan family."

Wen Xin asked appropriately: "What are the characteristics of the Tan family?"

"My brother and I are named after our parents. Tan Yuzhang, the surname is Tan and the surname is Zhang."

Wen Xin chuckled: "What a great name, the fruit of my parents' love."

Wen Xin's words made Tan Yuzhang laugh, and Zhang Hui also curled her lips. Tan Ming forced a symbolic smile and stood up to refill everyone's glasses.

"Mom and Dad, we're going to take pictures tomorrow and get the certificate the day after tomorrow, Monday."

Tan Mu's words were simply earth-shattering, and the people at the table were instantly excited. Even the calm Tan Ming grinned, patted Tan Mu's shoulder and kept saying yes.

Mu Mingzhen wiped her tears, got up and went to the inner room to get a box. When she opened it, she found a jade bracelet inside.

Mu Mingzhen took Wen Xin's hand and put the jade bracelet on her wrist. The jade bracelet was slightly larger and dangled on Wen Xin's wrist, with excellent water head.

Wen Xin looked at the familiar patterns and once again marveled at the wonder of the world.

In that life, Mu Mingzhen and Tan Shuyuan went to travel to South City and asked local comrades to help them buy a pair of jade bracelets, one for her and one for Zhang Hui.

Now, the jade bracelet is in her hand again.

"Wen Xin, look, we are a couple." Zhang Hui raised her hand to show Wen Xin. The jade bracelet fit perfectly on her chubby wrist.

Wen Xin looked at Zhang Hui and knew that she was a woman with a carefree personality.

This kind of personality is good. Looking at this life, Tan Ming's personality is a bit dull. If he meets someone who is too delicate and sensitive, he might be suffocated to death.

......

Wen Xin drove the car back home, and she didn't drink. Tan Mu was a little tipsy, sitting in the passenger seat, listening to music and shaking his head.

"Tan Mu, has Big Brother always been like this? He's totally different from you."

Tan Mu sighed:

"My eldest brother was a sunny boy. He was a role model in the army. But he was unlucky and had a terrible first love."

"What was the name of his first love?" Wen Xin knew it was most likely that name.

"Xia Qing." Tan Mu sat up straight and frowned.

"A person with no moral bottom line, who had a passionate correspondence with my eldest brother during her four years in college, and married the son of the department head as soon as she graduated."

"My eldest brother has been very quiet since then. I even think he is very likely to be depressed. Later, he retired from the army, and an old leader of the procuratorate married his niece to him, who is our former sister-in-law."

"At that time, Xia Qing was divorced, passed the postgraduate entrance examination and came to Beijing. She began to pester my eldest brother and eventually caused my ex-sister-in-law to have a miscarriage."

Wen Xin frowned when he heard this.

"What about Xia Qing? Big Brother, are you going to let her make a fuss like that?"

Tan Mu sighed even more heavily.

"This is where my eldest brother is confused. At first, he helped a few times out of nostalgia. When he found out that Xia Qing had ulterior motives and was about to turn hostile and refuse, Xia Qing went to the former eldest sister-in-law to make a scene."

"As soon as the child was aborted, my ex-sister-in-law divorced my eldest brother. The old boss was very angry, and the incident also had a very bad impact on the procuratorate. My eldest brother's career was completely blocked from then on."

Wen Xin thought about Tan Ming in that life. If she and Tan Mu had not intervened, Tan Ming's fate might have been similar to that of this life.

Of course, Tan Ming’s desperate effort to aid Tibet in that life was also crucial.

"Is the relationship between the former sister-in-law and the eldest brother good?"

Tan Mu thought about it and shook his head gently: "It's hard to say, I feel it's a very ordinary relationship. After the divorce, the two of them have no intersection anymore."

Wen Xin nodded gently.

This is also different from the previous life. In that life, Tan Ming and Zhang Hui had a deep relationship, so Tan Ming cut off his arm to survive and went to Tibet to help.

In this life, there are no such deep feelings, so let everything go with the flow.

"What about my eldest brother and his current sister-in-law? How is their relationship?"

Tan Mu still sighed:

"It's about the same as the last one, very plain. My eldest brother said they didn't have any deep exchanges of ideas, and apart from the children, they just kept doing the daily necessities of life."

Wen Xin drove in a depressed mood and didn't say anything.

Character determines destiny, but sometimes, environmental factors also have a huge impact.

So the same people, the same two brothers of the Tan family, had very different fates in that life.

"What about big brother's first love Xia Qing? How is she doing now?"
