35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
Mother Shen wanted to call him, but Shen Changan had already run away.
"This kid is already in his 20s, why is he still so irritable?"
"I said the time we were sent to the army was too short. How can two years be enough for a man from our Shen family? He should have been there for at least five years!"
Father Shen was always worried about this matter. If she, as a mother, didn't love her son so much and couldn't bear to let him suffer, and hadn't spoken up for him, her son would still be training in the army. How could he have gotten into that kind of thing last year?
The aunt at home had long been accustomed to the way the old couple got along, so she immediately lowered her head and worked seriously, pretending not to hear all their quarrels.
My parents went on a long trip some time ago, and my grandma went to have fun with her old friends. Now that my parents are back, my grandma must be back too.
Shen Changan trotted to his grandmother's house, which was actually just a few houses next door. His grandpa and grandma also retired from upstairs and lived in the same family compound with them.
The security system here is very good, and there is an aunt to serve at home. The two families often visit each other, and the distance between them is only a bowl of soup.
In this way, everyone has their own private space, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good.
When grandma cooked something delicious, she would send it to me. When mother cooked something delicious, she would also send it to me. But they never ate at the same table.
Shen Changan knocked on the door of his grandmother's house, first took the initiative to greet her, and then was given a warm hug by his grandmother.
"Grandma, do you have my childhood photo album?"
Shen Changan was asking knowingly. If it was there, grandma would definitely take it out quickly.
"Yes, people like to reminisce when they get old. I look at your childhood photos every day and wonder if I can hold my great-grandson in my arms before I close my eyes."
"Grandma, take it out and show it to me. I want to know what I looked like when I was a child."
"It's no use showing it to you. You're old and still not married, so I, an old woman, won't even be able to have a great-grandchild."
Although the old lady said this, she still went back to the house to get the photos for him.
A thick photo album was taken out, and inside the album were photos of Shen Changan's family from childhood to adulthood.
Shen Changan couldn’t wait to take it, but grandma quickly snatched it back.
"Be careful, don't break it, it's my treasure."
"Grandma, these are all my photos. Can't I take a look at them now?"
"What are you looking at? Look at how cute you were when you were a child, and then look at you now!"
Grandma stared at Shen Changan for a while, then opened the photo album and looked at it for a while, then shook her head with disgust.
"Grandma, although your grandson isn't as cute as he was when he was little, he's not ugly now. At least he's not ugly, right?"
Shen Changan wanted to defend himself, but his grandmother had already pushed the photo album over to him, "Look for yourself, look for yourself, how cute you were when you were a child, what do you look like now, there is a mirror at home, go and take a look."
Shen Changan held the photo album in both hands, staring at his childhood photos again and again.
A round little face, big eyes, and a slightly flat nose. Fortunately, it has now grown into a high nose bridge, and even the mouth is exactly the same.
The only difference is probably weight. Shen Changan's family was well-off when he was a child, so he was fair, tender, tall and big.
Because the two children are twins and were born prematurely, there is a big difference in their size even though they were born in the same month.
Putting aside the issue of weight, their eyebrows and eyes are still very similar.
Shen Changan was surprised and happy when he saw it, and couldn't help but murmur in his mouth.
"Similar! So similar!"
"Like what?"
When grandma heard this, she immediately became alert. Shen Changan realized his loss of composure and quickly adjusted his state. He said with a serious face.
"Looks just like me!"
"Isn't this you? It definitely looks like you!"
"Grandma, I want to take the photo album back."
Grandma quickly reached out to grab it, but Shen Changan held the photo album tightly.
"This photo album must stay with me until you give me great-grandchildren. I have to look at it before going to bed every day, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Grandma was very stubborn, and Shen Changan didn't dare to fight with her. He could only symbolically grab it twice and then let go.
"Grandma, I don't even have a wife right now, so where can I find a great-grandchild for you? But if you could give me a photo of me when I was little, I'd see how cute I was and maybe I'd get married."
Shen Changan adopted a conciliatory policy, and grandma was immediately moved after hearing it.
There is more than one photo of my grandson in the album. It would be worthwhile if giving him a photo could help him get married and have children sooner.
"Let me make it clear first, I'll only give you one."
Grandma took the initiative to hand over the photo album and stared at him vigilantly, afraid that he would take more than he wanted.
"Don't worry, grandma. I only want one. The rest are for you."
Shen Changan picked out the best-looking full moon photo, and grandma was jealous. This was her favorite photo. This brat was too picky.
"Leave this one to me. Can't you change it?"
"Grandma, I think this one is the best. The more beautiful the photo, the more it will motivate me to get married and have children sooner."
Since her grandson said so, the grandmother could only wave her hand and compromise.
"Then I'll give it to you. This is my favorite photo. You must take good care of it."
"Okay, thank you, grandma."
Shen Changan took the photo and was about to run away, but his grandmother quickly grabbed his arm.
"You haven't been home for so long, and now that you're finally back, don't you want to talk to grandma?"
Shen Changan could only sit down again and patiently chat with his grandmother.
It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when he finally coaxed his grandmother. His grandmother wanted him to stay for dinner, and Shen Changan was anxious to go back to accompany his parents.
"Grandma, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time. Why don't you come home with me?"
"No, you know I like to eat alone."
When my grandmother was young, she had conflicts with my mother. Although the two of them maintained superficial peace and did a great job on the surface, in fact, neither of them liked the other.
For example, now, grandma refused to go back with him no matter what, so Shen Changan had to go by himself.
When Shen Changan returned home, his aunt was already preparing to cook.
"You little bastard, all you do is think about your grandma all day long. You're closer to her than to me, your mother."
As soon as Shen Changan came back, Shen's mother couldn't help but scold him a few more times.
"Mom, I just went to grandma's house and asked for a photo of me when I was a kid. Grandma always said I was cute when I was little. What do you think?"
"What's the point of you being cute when you were little? You're not cute anymore."
Mother Shen said a few words and started urging her to get married and have children. Usually, Shen Changan would have escaped back to his room in annoyance by this time, but today he stayed and chatted with his mother for the first time.
"Mom, if I have a child in the future, do you think it will be as cute as the little one in this photo?"
