In her previous life, to escape confiscation and liquidation, Cen Yan married her stepmother's niece's son at the urging of her family.
She thought she could escape a calamity, but wh...
Chapter 66 Qi Jingchuan didn't bully you, did he?
After taking the wedding photos, it was getting late.
The sunset, as red as an egg yolk, floated on the horizon, creating a stunning scene.
Cen Yan sat on the back of the bicycle, eyes closed, arms outstretched, enjoying the evening sea breeze.
Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly.
He looked completely enjoying himself.
Qi Jingchuan couldn't see Cen Yan's expression, but she opened her arms to embrace the sea breeze, clearly enjoying island life, which quietly put his anxieties to rest.
"Hold on tight, we're going home."
The next day, as planned, Qi Jingchuan took Cen Yan to visit their elders.
After many twists and turns, the bicycle entered what seemed to be a very secret "fortress," guarded by sentries carrying guns, which made one feel a little uneasy.
However, Cen Yan thought about it again and felt that it made perfect sense.
The two elderly people, Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua, are national treasures. If they are not properly protected and something happens to them, it would be a loss for the country.
Qi Jingchuan stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, rustling footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
Su Xianhua poked her head out to peek and was delighted to see that the people who came were Qi Jingchuan and Cen Yan.
"Yan girl, why did you come so soon? Old Zhao and I thought you would come to visit us old bones at least a month later. Come in and sit down."
Su Xianhua held Cen Yan's hand, completely ignoring the tall and burly grandson standing beside them.
Or perhaps she didn't think her grandson was important at all, and with a kind expression, she led Cen Yan into the courtyard.
Cen Yan glanced around the house. It was a small, detached house with simple furniture and a modest layout, but it had everything one would expect.
A sewing machine, a radio, a television, and even a refrigerator that's hard to find even in Shanghai, were placed in a corner of the living room, indicating a high quality of life that wasn't exactly understated.
But since the two elderly people are academicians, it is only right and proper for the state to provide them with such housing for their retirement.
Cen Yan called out, "Grandma, Qi Jingchuan is on his honeymoon. He was thinking of coming to visit you and Grandpa when he had time. Otherwise, if I come alone, with so many guards outside, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find the door."
"Anyone who dares to stop my granddaughter-in-law, I'll beat them up!"
Su Xianhua was overjoyed to hear the word "Grandma".
"Old man, is the money for changing her address to Grandma ready? Yan'er called her Grandma! Quickly bring over the red envelope."
Zhao Gongqin also valued Cen Yan highly, and the red envelope he brought was very thick, containing a considerable amount of money.
Cen Yan dared not accept it.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I already received the bankbook..."
“That’s the bride price, this is the change of address fee, they’re different, and we have to accept it! Besides, it’s not much, just two hundred yuan.”
Su Xianhua said with great enthusiasm.
Cen Yan sighed. Two hundred yuan was equivalent to an ordinary worker's annual salary. Wasn't that a lot?
"Please accept this; it's a token of my maternal grandparents' affection," Qi Jingchuan said.
"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Cen Yan smiled as she accepted the red envelope.
Zhao Gongqin and Su Xianhua were finally satisfied.
Qi Jingchuan and the old man were chatting about warships, but Cen Yan didn't understand and didn't want to listen.
Curiosity killed the cat; who knows if the grandfather and grandson might discuss secrets they shouldn't have?
So I went to the yard to stretch my muscles.
At this moment, Su Xianhua came out carrying a small stool, took Cen Yan's hand, and whispered some intimate words between women.
"Yan'er, are you settling in well on the island? Jingchuan hasn't been bullying you, has he?"
