The two originally planned to return to Luotan Village, but they learned on the way that their grandparents had gone back to their hometown last month. Jiang Yu was busy and did not know that his grandparents had rebuilt their old house and planned to stay there in their later years.

The two then changed their route and headed towards their grandparents' house.

What used to be a four- or five-hour drive now takes eight hours.

It's even further now.

The car entered the village, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

The main reason is that people are curious about the appearance of such luxury cars at this time of year. Luxury cars only come in during holidays when grandparents and uncles return to the village.

Otherwise, no one would come here normally.

The maternal grandparents' home is different from the one in Luotan Village. Jiang Yu's home in Luotan Village is located in the upper village, which is some distance away from the fields.

My maternal grandparents lived in the lower part of the village, and the land in front of their house was their own.

The car was on the next road. Grandma, with her sharp ears, asked, "Old man, is this Yu Yu's car?"

Grandpa looked up and said, "Yuyu is so busy, how could she possibly come here? Besides, we haven't even told her yet."

It was the sound of a car stopping.

It was pitch black outside, and the weather wasn't particularly good today; it even started drizzling on the way here.

This village is a bit underdeveloped; there are no streetlights on the roads, unlike Luotan Village, where General Jiang Zemin has built roads and streetlights for the entire village.

Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu did not turn off their car lights, illuminating the road ahead.

Jiang Yu arrived at the door, reached in, unlatched the door, and pushed the door open.

"Grandpa, Grandma."

It was his granddaughter's sweet greeting.

Grandma put down her chopsticks, a smile spreading across her face, and said to Grandpa, "See? I told you it was Yuyu's car."

She walked out of the kitchen, where people were eating.

"Oh dear, baby, why are you here so late? Don't you have work to do?"

Grandma came out, talking as she walked, but there wasn't a hint of displeasure in her tone.

"grandmother."

Chen Cixiu stood behind Jiang Yu, carrying his things. He was a little behind as he had to get things and close the door.

"Cixiu is here too! Come quick, come quick! Why did you two choose this time to come? Honestly, haven't you eaten yet?" Grandma's face lit up with a smile when she saw Chen Cixiu.

"Grandpa."

Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu's voices rang out simultaneously.

Grandpa came out while his wife, granddaughter, and grandson-in-law were talking, and he smiled when he saw them.

When people get old, what they like most is to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren.

Whether it's his own grandchildren or his granddaughters, he hopes that the children can come and visit him more often.

It would be best to bring one person back, but it would be even better if three or four people could come back.

"Haha, great! I'm so happy to have you here. You all have a seat. Old woman, cook a couple of dishes for the kids," Grandpa said happily.

"Grandma, let me do it."

Chen Cixiu volunteered.

He can't let his grandma cook for him; he wouldn't feel at ease eating there.

But his grandmother wouldn't allow it, refusing to let him cook no matter what. She insisted that he must taste her cooking. Last time, there were too many children, and they refused to cook for their grandmother, so he didn't get to taste her cooking.

Jiang Yu also told him not to be too busy and to just eat his grandmother's cooking.

Grandma cooked the dishes and rice again.

To his surprise, his grandmother's dishes were all cooked over a wood fire, and a faint aroma of firewood wafted through the air.

Chen Cixiu had never eaten it before.

It was his first time eating it, and the feeling was like opening up a new world for him.

When he was little, his family already had a gas-fired rice cooker, so he never had the chance to eat rice cooked over a wood fire.

I never expected it to taste so much better than what I make in a rice cooker.

Watching the smoke drifting from the chimney in the darkness, Chen Cixiu suddenly felt a sense of tranquility.

If it weren't for his grandfather's shout, he really wouldn't have come to his senses.

"Cixiu, want to have a drink with Grandpa?"

Grandpa said to Chen Cixiu while holding a small wine pot.

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll have a drink with you."

Chen Cixiu did not refuse and downed a glass of wine.

Sure enough, the wine brewed by my grandfather is still the best.

I thought it tasted great the first time I drank it, and I still do now.

"Grandpa, was the recipe for this wine passed down from your grandfather or did you make it yourself?" Chen Cixiu asked his grandfather, holding up his wine glass.

"You've come to the right person." Grandpa's face was beaming with pride. "The recipe for this wine is unique to me. The brewing technique is very complex and intricate. So, in the whole village, Grandpa's wine is the best-tasting. Did you feel refreshed after drinking it?"

"Yes, that's the feeling. And the texture is very smooth after entering the mouth, without any obstruction. It's also not spicy after entering the stomach, which is very rare," Chen Cixiu analyzed.

"That's right. So, if you want a drink, come find your grandpa anytime. But you can't overindulge in alcohol; a little is fine."

My grandfather was giving me earnest advice.

Chen Cixiu agreed and looked at Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu already knew what he meant, but they both understood that now was not the time to speak.

We'll talk about it before we leave; let's spend the next two days with Grandpa and Grandma.

I'll be able to tell my grandfather before I go back on Thursday.

After a hearty meal, Chen Cixiu sat in the courtyard, with his maternal grandfather playing the Henan opera "Chaoyang Gou" next to him.

Chen Cixiu looked up at the sky, and his grandfather's voice echoed in his ears: "Cixiu, isn't starting a business tiring? Are you and Yuyu able to take care of each other?"
