At twenty-three years old, Shen Fenghua was plagued by infertility, making her marriage unstable. She had thought she could live her whole life alone, but the organization, hoping to give her a sta...
After finishing the meal, Cai Lili was quite satisfied with the Tian family. Although it was a widow raising her two children, it was still better than her own noisy and chaotic home.
"So when are we going to have our wedding?"
She had just checked it out; the room was well-ventilated and warm in winter. It also faced the sun. Compared to her own cramped staff dormitory, this house was far superior.
Get married, get married quickly, or she'll freeze into an icicle in her dorm room.
When Grandma heard that the two families were getting married in the afternoon, she was so shocked that she almost fell flat on her face.
"Oh my, my darling, even if you're going to get married, you can't be so hasty. You two have only known each other for a short time!"
Cai Lili chuckled, "Grandma, what can we do? We're just so destined to meet. It's rare to meet someone we click with. What if someone else snatches them up if we don't hurry?"
That was said in a rather witty way.
Tian Daniu's face turned red. Poor thing, he's a rough guy. He used to only turn red when he drank or fought. But now, he turned red because of being teased. This is the first time in all these years that this has happened.
“Yes, Grandma,” Tian Daniu chimed in, “What does this mean? It means it’s a destiny given by heaven. If we don’t cherish it, wouldn’t we be wasting our chance to be together?”
Grandma laughed heartily. To be honest, she also hoped that lovers would eventually get married.
Moreover, the two of them, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one fair-skinned and one dark-skinned, seem to have a bit of a lantern team vibe to them?
It seems so.
"Alright, alright, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you're not children anymore, so you definitely need to make a careful decision. But if you've made up your mind, you must have a piece of wedding candy for your grandma, so that this old body can share in the joy."
"Of course."
After all, he was the one who made the connection.
Thinking about it, Tian Daniu also felt that Shen Fenghua, along with this grandmother, was very generous and open-minded.
He had previously said he would find wives for his three brothers, but unexpectedly, they met by chance and things actually turned out this way.
"Grandma, don't worry. You're not just taking the wedding candy, you're also eating our wedding fruits. If it weren't for you, our marriage wouldn't have happened so quickly."
"good!"
Watching the two figures leave, Grandma felt deeply gratified. It's good to be young, but there are also advantages to being older.
"What are you still looking at? Come out hiding. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You're quick on your feet, you'll be gone in a flash."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a little old man emerged from behind the tree.
The old man was a handsome man when he was young, and even now that he's older and his hair has turned white, he's still different from other old men.
Upon seeing his grandmother, he chuckled, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Didn't you say that? I always listen to you. You told me to hide whenever I see someone."
Grandma choked, thinking that it was indeed true. Before coming out, she had repeatedly told this old man not to forget.
"Alright, alright, I was wrong this time. Come on, I'll take you home and let you try my cooking."
After saying this, Grandma smiled and waved the vegetable basket in her hand.
The old man was slightly resistant, his face stiffened, and he awkwardly looked away for a moment. He coughed lightly and said, "How about we go to the state-run restaurant? It's on me."
"Why are you treating us? You have a little money to burn, don't you know what to do with it?"
Grandma gave him a good scolding, and the old man immediately deflated, saying, "Let's go then."
He walked with a slight reluctance.
Grandma found it all rather unbelievable. Did this old man not know what was good for him? She had called him home for dinner, and he still had this attitude?
"Speaking of which, this is my first time visiting your home." The old man pushed open the door, peeking out and looking around at the unassuming little courtyard.
It was clean and tidy.
Two vegetable plots were cultivated in the corner, and directly opposite were two kennels, housing a cat and a dog. Three chickens were kept inside a fenced enclosure.
There were still a few pieces of clothing hanging on the clothes rack.
A gentle breeze blew by, and her clothes swayed gently.
Life is carefree and leisurely.
The old man immediately felt much better. "Your granddaughter's yard is nice."
Grandma gave a smug snort, "Do you need to tell me?"
The old man couldn't help but chuckle for a moment as he looked at his grandmother's smug expression. "There's even a reclining chair in this yard."
"What reclining chair? Open your eyes and take a good look. That's a rocking chair that my grandson-in-law gave me as a gift."
Grandma feels proud and honored when she talks about this. Although she didn't receive filial piety from her children, the filial piety from her granddaughter and grandson-in-law is just as comforting.
After walking around for a while, the old man squatted down to help his grandmother. Nianping and Nian'an went to Li Yanran's house with He Dongdong. The two children wouldn't be back until evening.
"What are you planning to make for me tonight?" The old man deftly peeled the potatoes.
Grandma smiled and kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Don't worry about it, just wait to eat."
The old man was very quick and efficient. After peeling the potatoes, he had nothing to do. Grandma looked at him and ordered, "Don't just sit there. Go to that room in the corner and pick some bok choy."
Chicken feather vegetable?
The old man thought he had misheard. "Where are we going to get chicken feathers in the dead of winter?"
Grandma is incredibly proud whenever this is mentioned. Other families may not have it, but our family certainly does.
She looked up, pursed her lips, and said, "Why don't you just open the door and take a look?"
The old man was skeptical, but when he opened the door, he was astonished to find that the unused kang (a heated brick bed) was covered with bok choy and spinach. While other families often had nothing to eat in the winter, this was a real treat.
The room was warm and cozy, almost like springtime.
"That's really extravagant."
"What's so extravagant about that?" Grandma rolled her eyes as she watched the old man pick a handful of bok choy. "We only get two or three pieces of wood a day. There's nothing more cost-effective than this."
Vegetables are so rare in winter.
"Eat up. This was my granddaughter's idea. You're just benefiting from it."
The old man laughed heartily, "So when are you planning to introduce me to our granddaughter? You know, I've been keeping these red envelopes for ages, they're practically going to grow mold if I don't give them out soon."
Grandma looked at the old man and softly scolded, "Get out of here, you're really disrespectful to your elders."
"To be honest!" The old man looked at his grandmother, all the frivolity in his tone vanishing completely. "I really intend to live a good life with you, Xiuying. Can't you accept me?"
Grandma was a little confused.
