Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 422: Single-handedly caused
When Xie Nancheng returned home, he saw that they were already preparing to eat.
"Young Master Nancheng is back." Pinggu looked delighted.
"You're back just in time." The old lady glanced at her grandson.
"Why do you say that? It sounds like you don't welcome me." Xie Nancheng walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to the old lady.
"Brother Nancheng, aren't you going to work?" Xie Jiatong asked, blinking her big eyes.
"Do you understand why we have to take a nap?" Xie Nancheng pinched Xie Jiatong's nose affectionately.
At this time, Tu Ran walked out of the kitchen, wearing a small floral apron.
The boss is currently in a passionate love relationship, so whatever his wife wears, she looks amazing.
"You don't even call your husband after making delicious food. You have no conscience."
"I really didn't plan to call you." Tu Ran didn't give him any face at all.
"I really love you in vain, Mrs. Xie." The boss continued to act coquettishly.
"I invited grandma to dinner. Not only did you take advantage of it, but you also dared to argue?" Tu Ran glared.
"That's incredible, grandma. I've lived here with her for so long, and she's never made such a big fuss by cooking so many dishes for me. But you're so generous that you can even let your granddaughter-in-law cook for me yourself."
"That's right, Ranran is the best with me."
The old lady was indeed in a much better mood when she learned that her granddaughter-in-law was treating them to a meal and that she would cook for them herself.
The old man was still very happy. As for why he didn’t eat at the old house?
Obviously, it was to avoid Mrs. Xie, Tu Ran's mother-in-law.
Because her mother-in-law might come back at any time, and when she comes back, she will be sarcastic and the atmosphere will be bad.
It’s a rare opportunity to come to Tianyi Pavilion, so I’ll just relax and have some peace and quiet.
The old lady also brought Xie Jiatong with her. Only the driver and Pinggu followed her, and she didn't bring any bodyguards.
Xie Nancheng stared at the dishes on the table, "I didn't know you had so many cooking skills?"
"There are still many things you don't know."
"Wife, when did you learn Huizhou cuisine?" Xie Nancheng could tell at a glance that the table was full of Huizhou cuisine today.
"I just learned it online, and I don't know if it's authentic."
"I heard that my grandmother lived in southern Anhui for a few years when she was a child. She must miss the cuisine there quite a lot."
"But I'm not from there, so the food I make is definitely not authentic. Grandma, you just have to make do with it."
The old lady of the Xie family looked at her granddaughter-in-law lovingly, deeply moved.
"I'm very happy that you have this heart."
"Eating is just for family reunion, why would I be picky?"
"Ranran, you are a thoughtful child. You actually know about my childhood." The old lady sighed.
"I heard the old housekeeper mention it by chance, and I remembered it."
Pinggu stood behind her, picking up some food for the old lady, and was surprised to find, "Old lady, look, the young lady also prepared this, crystal tribute yuan."
Only then did the old lady of the Xie family find the inconspicuous dumpling among the dazzling array of dishes on the table.
"Grandma, please try."
"Did you make it or buy it?" The old lady seemed a little incredulous.
"I made it and it's also available online, but I ran out of time, so I bought some raw materials and made it by following the videos online."
The old lady didn't say anything, picked up one and put it in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
“Our times were turbulent.”
"I had several brothers and sisters at home, and my parents couldn't take care of them all."
"So they sent me to my grandmother's home in the countryside in southern Anhui."
"My grandmother was very kind to me, but life was very hard back then and we had no choice of food."
"I still remember one year my grandmother took me to the market to sell eggs. They laid eggs from her own chickens, and she couldn't bear to eat them herself, so she sold the eggs and bought me a bag of these dumplings. The first time I ate them, I was amazed. Even after many years, none of them tasted as good as the first time."
“People always remember the things they see for the first time the most.”
"But after a long time, you may not know how to cherish it."
"Grandma, there's something else behind your words." Xie Nancheng said with a smile.
"Grandma wants to say that it's not easy for you two to support a family, so cherish each other."
"Of course." The boss agreed immediately.
Seeing that Tu Ran didn't say anything, the old lady didn't force him, but praised him, "The dumplings are delicious. Although they don't taste exactly the same as they did back then, they still retain the essence. They are the taste I like. You are thoughtful, kid."
There were twelve dishes on the table, an old duck soup, and a dessert, which was rock sugar and pear juice made by Tu Ran himself. It was very suitable for the old lady of the Xie family and Xie Jiatong who often coughed.
After dinner, the old man was about to get up and leave, but he found that Xie Jiatong had fallen asleep in Tu Ran's arms at some point.
She had been excited to ask Tu Ran to tell her a story.
Tu Ran held her in his arms and talked to his grandmother.
I didn't notice when Xie Jiatong fell asleep.
Every time this happens, I feel a little sorry for this child.
Although he had enough food and clothing, he was too young to receive all the love from his mother.
"Your third uncle is just fooling around."
"Poor Tongtong." The old lady sighed slightly.
"Grandma, are you blaming me for exiling Third Uncle? I've already shown some mercy, otherwise he should have gone to another place instead of staying in Xiangcheng. It's simply because Grandma is old and doesn't want her son to be too far away from you. I always consider the family, but he and Xie Huailan are just racking their brains all day to figure out how to deal with me."
"I don't mean to blame you."
"Your father doesn't interfere in the company's affairs, let alone me."
"It's just that Tongtong is still young and has no mother, which is pitiful."
"That was also caused by Third Uncle." Xie Nancheng couldn't feel any sympathy at all.
"It's indeed his fault. He's still immature at his age and has lived in vain..." The old lady sighed again.
"Grandma, do you want me to let him go?" Xie Nancheng tested.
The old lady shook her head.
"Your Third Uncle is like that now. Going to the branch office to cool down is a good way to wake him up."
"I actually have something else I want to tell you two."
"What?" Xie Nancheng was stunned.
Tu Ran hugged Xie Jiatong and didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
"Your Third Aunt has been in a coma for a long time. This is not a solution."
"I have indeed been trying to find someone to treat me, but to no avail."
"A miracle doctor I met before recommended someone to me, but that person's identity is very mysterious, and he's on the Internet, so I can't contact him. I'm an old man and I don't know how to use the Internet, so I thought, Nancheng, could you help me see if you can try to contact that miracle doctor on the Internet."
"I, the old lady, will pay for the medical treatment."
"As long as your Third Aunt can wake up, it doesn't matter even if we get divorced. I just want Tongtong to have a mother."
After the old lady finished speaking, Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran finally understood her intention.
Tu Ran was surprised that his grandmother had heard about the things on the Internet, and it was recommended by a domestic miracle doctor. It was outrageous.
