Chapter 190: Elders Who Are Hard to Understand
After coming down from the joyful dinner table, Linzhou felt that he had never been so full in his life.
Grandma kept serving him food, and his bowl was never less than half full...
All in all, the food was delicious, but I won’t eat it next time.
Standing at the door with Jiang Xiyue, Linzhou stretched his body, "Yueyue, has our dad never thought of bringing grandpa out to live with us?"
"Yes, my grandparents took them over. We arranged an apartment with an elevator for them. There was a vegetable market right outside and a small park nearby. But they only stayed there for a month and then insisted on returning to the village."
The girl patiently explained the situation. After all, they would be a family in the future, so it was understandable for them to say whatever they wanted.
Because she hadn't been home for a long time, Jiang Xiyue ate a lot, so she held Linzhou's hand and said, "Okay Zhou Zhou, let's go for a walk outside, otherwise the food in our stomachs will turn into fat on our stomachs."
"Okay, where are we going?" Linzhou asked softly.
The girl held Linzhou's hand and walked towards the village entrance, but because it was dinner time, there were not many people in the village.
After walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Xiyue brought Linzhou to a huge deep pit.
"Isn't it cool? I dug it and raised fish in it, but unfortunately every time I raised one, it died. Maybe the water quality was bad and the fish drowned."
"Huh?" Linzhou doubted his ears. The little fool left his brain at home as usual.
Hearing the doubt, Jiang Xiyue finally reacted and hurriedly explained, "It's not drowning as you understand. It may be that the soil is bad. When the road was built here, a lot of lime was put underneath... It seems that the fish were killed."
"Ah, that's indeed possible, but were you so naughty when you were a child, silly?" Linzhou laughed and reached out to hug the little girl.
Behind the two of them was the village road, and further back was a big locust tree. Now was the season when the locust trees were in bloom, and the air was filled with a pleasant smell.
The girl was a little frightened when she was suddenly hugged , but she soon relaxed.
" Zhou Zhou, aren't you afraid that grandpa will come out with an axe and chop you off if you see me?"
Looking at Jiang Xiyue who was smiling, Linzhou bent down and took a sip...
"I have the right to do so. I am not afraid at all."
The two continued walking along the road in the village. Not far from the village were the fields. They could even see farmers who did not go home after hoeing the fields at noon and just made do with dry food.
It was really hard work, and Linzhou truly understood the meaning of those two sentences.
Technology changes life, knowledge changes destiny.
"Zhou Zhou, do you want to go for a walk in the fields? You can catch a lot of strange bugs there, and sometimes you can even come across a giant spider."
Hearing this, it was Linzhou's turn to shake his head. He took Jiang Xiyue and took a few steps back. "No... no need. I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that other people's land will be trampled. Farming is not easy."
The girl burst out laughing. "Zhou Zhou, aren't you a materialist fighter? Why are you afraid of spiders?"
"Materialistic warriors are not afraid of ghosts, but they are afraid of spiders, because those things can really crawl onto your head. For example, if you suddenly see a spider in your room, would you dare to sleep tonight if you can't find it?"
"I dare to do it if it's not poisonous. The little spider is furry and so cute." Jiang Xiyue laughed and looked very happy.
After all, she had known for a long time that Linzhou was afraid of spiders, and she had said it on purpose just now. In fact, the probability of encountering spiders in the field was not very high.
There are more green mantises...
Linzhou leaned over Jiang Xiyue's ear and said, "I will tell you a ghost story tonight."
"Then I'll hold you in my arms as you sleep!" The girl fought back without any hesitation.
No one spoke after that, and they just walked back along the road in silence. They came to see grandpa, and they would go back at night, so it would be better for them to stay with the old man for a while.
★·❤·□·❤·☆
Ten minutes later in the room, Linzhou sat opposite the two elders and answered every question.
From talking about ambitions to future plans, the topic finally came to the entanglement of career. The old man was very serious but did not give in at all.
"I think we should still engage in industry, even if we open a factory."
"But I can't do this kind of work. My father runs a furniture factory, and I like to do creative things."
"Creative works, can the things you create be used to make a living? I think it would be a good idea for you to take over your father's factory. It's okay for Yueyue to go back with you."
"What Yueyue does is Yueyue's business. As an elder, it's right for you to give advice, but you can't interfere."
…
The grandfather and grandson argued about this topic for half an hour, and in the end Linzhou was more skilled and convinced his grandfather.
But he never showed any impatience from beginning to end.
Even had a happy chat.
After all, this is how it is when talking to elders. You have to take it slow. After all, as they get older, many things become more difficult to communicate.
Fortunately, the old man was open-minded and explained it clearly in just half an hour.
As for Jiang Xiyue, she sat next to her and talked to her grandmother, sharing her recent life and health.
This kind of time lasted until five in the afternoon, when Jiang Xiyue finally stood up.
The grandfather who was originally sitting there smoking, saw Jiang Xiyue get up and asked, "Are you not staying overnight? I'll have a drink with this kid, and we can sleep in that room."
"No need, grandpa. We'll talk about it next time I come back. I have to prepare a lot of things tomorrow and pick someone up at the airport." Jiang Xiyue acted like an adult at this time.
When the old man sent the two of them to the door, Jiang Xiyue took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag and stuffed it into the hands of her grandfather.
"I bought this for you. Don't smoke too hard. My grandma will scold you, and I can't do anything about it."
"No! Drive slowly when you go back." The old man was very confident. He took Huazi and stood there waiting for the two to get in the car.
The rear of the car soon disappeared from sight. The old man walked back to the courtyard with a rather lonely look, closed the door, and casually placed the cigarette on the windowsill. He muttered to himself, "Yueyue has grown up. I don't think I'll live much longer."
So, the master took out his mobile phone, found the group chat, and pressed the voice button.
"Brothers, whoever can't stand it anymore, I want to have a feast."
About three minutes later, the old man leaned against the courtyard wall, listened to his brothers' laughter and scolding, silently lit a cigarette, and returned to the house.
"Old lady, what are we going to do with all the leftover food?"
"It's okay. I brought everything for Yueyue. She loves the pork ribs I stewed." Grandma sat there, watching the program on TV, sewing something in her hands .
When he heard that they were all taken away, the old man frowned.
"No, please leave some for me. I like it too..."
"I left it there, knowing you like it."
