Zhong Yuxiu was reluctant to nod and let them go. She and the old man went to eat meat; vegetarian food could no longer relieve the depression in her heart.

The behavior of the two made Yan Rushan laugh and cry. With a daughter-in-law and a grandfather, the liveliness is doubled!

"Grandpa, Yuxiu, take it easy. Eat more of the lean meat and forget about the fat." As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and picked out the fat in her bowl, not letting go of any bits of lean meat that were stuck to it. "Take care of your health. A big child is a burden."

Zhong Yuxiu angrily picked up some more meat to eat. Yan Rushan picked out the fat she had picked up and was too busy to talk to the grandfather and grandson.

Old Master Yan glanced at the boneless chicken feet. There were still some in the bowl, which he had not finished. However, his eldest grandson would definitely not let him eat any more. Regretfully, he went to eat the meat dishes on the table, and slowly relaxed. Looking back at his eldest grandson who was nervous because of his granddaughter-in-law, he suddenly felt balanced.

Sure enough, balance requires comparison.

After dinner, Zhong Yuxiu looked at her empty bowl. The chicken feet were gone, but there was still some seasoning. She felt that Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong must be too relaxed; if they were, they would definitely eat the seasoning with their rice. Goudan's cold dishes were first-rate and always delicious with rice.

"Don't look at it. Eat it tomorrow. I'll ask Goudan to put less chili in it so you can eat more." Yan Rushan raised his hand to cover her eyes. "Comrade Gu, Comrade Fang, please clean up the table."

Take it away quickly so your wife can see it less.

"Okay." Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong stood up, quickly cleaned up the mess, and sent the dishes to the kitchen.

Yan Rushan helped him sit on the sofa. Seeing that the old man had followed him, he turned on the TV and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to watch?"

"Play whatever you want." Old Master Yan waved his hand indifferently. There was nothing interesting to watch on TV.

"Okay." Yan Rushan chose a martial arts action movie to watch. In addition to understanding the connotation, for the old man, watching martial arts action movies is just for fun.

Zhong Yuxiu took a look and saw that the movie playing was the Hong Kong film "Sun and Moon Sword". She had long passed the stage of watching martial arts films; but Old Man Yan was concentrating very hard, watching the movements in the movie very carefully. When watching the fight, the old man's eyes were shining, which really made people want to laugh.

He nudged the stomach of the person next to him with his elbow, raised his chin towards the old man, and said in a low voice, "Look, Grandpa likes watching martial arts dramas. When the climax comes, Grandpa's eyes light up."

That's the look you get when you truly like a movie.

Yan Rushan wondered, "Grandpa came from the war years, how could he like this kind of movie?"

"Didn't you put it there?" You don't even know, how should I know?

“I just played one at random.”

Zhong Yuxiu's lips curled slightly. "As long as Grandpa likes it, that's good. Didn't Grandpa say he was going to retire? Why hasn't he retired yet? Grandpa is old, and getting up so early every day to go to work and commuting like a young person, isn't it tiring?"

"Grandpa wants to retire too." Yan Rushan whispered in her ear, "The higher-ups asked Grandpa to delay his retirement for three years, and now two years have passed. It should be soon, and I'll be able to retire when you're born."

"That's fine." When the time comes, the old man will have his grandson to play with him and get together with his old friends. I think it won't be boring.

"What are you two talking about? You are laughing so happily." Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, and looking at him frequently, Mr. Yan spoke.

Zhong Yuxiu shook her head. "Nothing. I was asking Brother Yan, what are your plans after retirement? Do you want to go back to your hometown, go out for a walk, or stay at home with your great-grandchildren?"

"I'm going to retire next year, so I'll go back to my hometown then." As he spoke, Old Man Yan lost interest in watching martial arts dramas. "I haven't been back to my hometown in years. People say fallen leaves return to their roots, but I can't go back to my roots now that I'm old, so it would be nice to go back and take a walk sooner rather than later."

Zhong Yuxiu understood that the old man would definitely be buried in the cemetery in his old age. "Grandpa, I remember that if you asked, we could go back to our hometown."

"What's the point of burying him back there? My son, grandson, and great-grandson are all in Beijing. My hometown! We seldom visited each other in the early years. There are still some family members, but we don't have much contact. If I bury him back there, I will be far away from you." He has no obsession with his hometown. Over the years, he has settled all his close relatives. He wants to be buried close to his children and grandchildren so that they can visit him when they have time.

All he missed were his children and grandchildren.

"Grandpa, you're in great health. It's too early to talk about whether to bury you or not. You'll definitely live to be a hundred years old." Zhong Yuxiu smiled and coaxed the old man, "If you take good care of yourself now, maybe your great-great-grandson will get married and have children in the future. By then, you'll have five or six generations living under one roof."

"Yuxiu is right, Grandpa, don't talk about death all the time. With Yuxiu's repair fluid, no matter how bad your health is, it can make you rejuvenated." He still has this confidence. His wife's ability is not exaggerated. Those people in the research institute are not as good as her. The repair fluid can even cure terminal illnesses, let alone his grandfather's illnesses which can only be regarded as minor illnesses in the face of terminal illnesses.

Old Master Yan nodded at the two of them, smiled and sighed, "I know you are filial, don't worry, I'm just saying, I don't hope to die early; my great-grandson hasn't been born yet."

"That's right! You should think more about your great-grandson." Yuxiu responded, "When you want to go back, I'll go with you. I don't plan to do any large-scale research next year. Then we can bring your great-grandson back with us and let the elders back home see that you have four generations living under one roof."

"Yes, yes, yes, let them take a look. I wonder how many old guys are left. Let those who are left take a good look at me. I, Yan Guofeng, already have a great-grandson, and he's San'er."

When he mentioned his great-grandson, Old Master Yan's spirit immediately changed. "Not only do I have to make those people back home jealous, I also have to make these old guys in the compound jealous."

Some of them already have great-grandchildren and love to show them off; when his grandchildren's wives give birth, he will have three to show off.

"That's right. When they can walk, you use three ropes to lead them for a walk. When they go out, they are triplets. Who wouldn't be envious, right?" Thinking of those who gave birth to twins in later generations, they had to tie the babies with ropes for their safety when they went out. Those who could afford it would order a stroller with twins and push them out for a walk.

The old man has devoted all his life to his country and family, and he should have long since enjoyed his retirement and the blessings of his children and grandchildren.

Mr. Yan agreed with this very much, but, using a rope to lead his grandson...

"Isn't this bad? I'm old, but I can still hold three little kids."

"You can pull it up, can you?" Yan Rushan imagined the scene and retorted, "You can carry three children, but can they be comfortable? They will definitely make trouble with you! You might as well use a rope."

"You think I want to? Isn't the rope for tying up dogs?"
