When Ye Xuanhan asked Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang to come to the table for dinner, he felt extremely guilty and prayed in his heart that the two elderly people would not discover any clues.
After Grandma Jiang sat down, she pointed at the food on the table and praised, "Old man, look at the presentation and aroma of this, it's comparable to the chefs at state-owned restaurants. We are so lucky today."
Grandpa Jiang said with a smile: "Yes, come on, let's try Miss Han's cooking."
Everyone started to eat. The two old men praised the food highly. They ate with great relish and kept praising Ye Xuanhan's cooking skills.
Jiang Wang also echoed from the side: "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, Yanhan's cooking skills are very good."
Ye Xuanhan, the person involved, blushed at the praise.
If she really knew how to cook, she would definitely accept other people's compliments graciously, but the problem is that she doesn't know how to cook. The food she makes is only good for filling the stomach, but it is not worth savoring.
People's thinking in this era was not very advanced. The most common idea was that men should work outside and women should work inside. The granddaughter-in-law that the elderly liked most should be a girl who could serve tea, do housework, and give birth to children for her husband.
But for Ye Xuanhan, it is impossible to do so. She comes from the future and it is impossible for her to do the things mentioned above.
...
...
The life she wanted was never to stay at home peacefully and wash vegetables and cook for her husband.
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are Jiang Wang’s family. Jiang Wang cares about their feelings, and he must also care about their feelings.
But lying was really difficult for Ye Hanhan, so she didn't dare to face these two kind-looking old people directly.
Ye Xuanhan felt like two little men appeared above her head, and one of them told her to remain silent so as not to destroy the good impression of the two old people towards her.
Another villain told her to think it over carefully, as deceiving two elderly people would do her no good and one lie would require multiple lies to cover it up.
Ye Hanhan thought about it carefully and finally decided to tell the truth.
She interrupted Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang and said nervously, "Grandpa, grandma, actually, actually I don't know how to cook," and then lowered her head, not daring to look at their disappointed eyes.
"What?"
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"I didn't cook this meal either. Jiang Wang did."
There was a moment of silence in the air, and even Jiang Wang looked at Ye Han in surprise.
Ye Xuanhan nervously clenched the chopsticks in his hand, as if he had figured it out, and faced Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang directly.
After a moment, a smile appeared on Grandma Jiang's face, "We know."
"What?" Now it was Ye Han's turn to be unable to react.
"I've tasted Jiang Wang's cooking many times. How could I not know how it tastes? Look at this shredded potato, the length and thickness, and the seasonings. I don't know how many times I've eaten it."
"Grandpa, grandma, this was all my idea," Jiang Wang began to blame himself and defend Ye Han.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm sorry," Ye Hanhan looked apologetic and sincerely apologized to the two elderly people.
Although this idea was proposed by Jiang Wang, it would not have been developed further if she did not agree.
Just when Ye Hanhan thought that Grandma Jiang was going to blame him, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Silly girl, do we women have to know how to cook?"
Grandpa Jiang also smiled helplessly and said, "Your grandma Jiang didn't know how to cook back then. I remember when I brought her home, the first meal she cooked was fried potato slices with shredded potatoes."
"Old man, you are the only one who would expose my shortcomings in front of the younger generation," Grandma Jiang scolded with a smile.
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually relaxed, and Ye Hanhan smiled again. She had not expected that her grandparents were so open-minded, which was totally incompatible with the thinking of this era.
Through the stories told by the two old men, Ye Han gradually learned some things about their past.
Grandpa Jiang used to be a businessman and made a lot of money, so he settled in the capital and bought this courtyard house.
In addition, he has a very long-term vision. The situation in the past few years was not peaceful, and businessmen like them were the type who were speculative.
Grandpa Jiang donated most of his fortune, and with the help of his son Jiang Wu, who was a regiment commander in the army, he was able to barely save himself and his wife.
After listening to the stories of the two old people, Ye Han couldn't help but sigh.
After dinner, Grandma Jiang took Ye Xinhan to the west wing, which contained a solid wooden bed, a wardrobe, and a washstand in the corner.
"This room is where Jiang Wang's aunt lived before she got married. It's vacant now. You can live here with peace of mind. It's very safe here. If anything happens, go find Jiang Wang across the street. That's his room."
After Grandma Jiang showed her around the house, she helped her take out a set of toiletries, including brand new towels, soap, toothbrushes, cups, and even a roll of pink toilet paper.
Ye Hanhan wanted to ask where he could find hot water, but Jiang Wang just happened to come over with a kettle.
Grandma Jiang looked at Jiang Wang, then at Ye Xuanhan, and smiled knowingly.
"Alas, I am old now. I have to go out with the old man after dinner. You young people can chat at home."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Xuanhan to speak, Grandma Jiang walked out.
Seeing that they were the only two people left in the room, Ye Xuanhan also wanted to follow him out, but Jiang Wang grabbed her arm.
With a force of the big hand, Ye Han was pulled into Jiang Wang's arms.
This was a hug between the two after they met again. Ye Hanhan's thoughts were in a mess and his breathing became uncontrollable.
When in the hospital, doctors and nurses would always make rounds from time to time, and even Jiang Wu would show up, so Ye Xuanhan had never had anything too intimate with Jiang Wang.
After all, in this day and age there are very few men and women holding hands on the street. If someone sees them, they might gossip about them.
Jiang Wang looked at Ye Xuanhan with deep eyes, then lowered his head and placed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
"In half a month, you will be my wife. That's great."
Ye Xuanhan could feel Jiang Wang's joy, and she felt equally happy in her heart.
Their eyes met, Ye Xuanhan lowered his head, crawled out of Jiang Wang's arms, and ran out.
It’s not that she was afraid that Jiang Wang would lose control, but she was feeling hot all over. If she stayed with Jiang Wang any longer, it would not be Jiang Wang who ate her, but she would eat him instead.
…
The next morning, Ye Hanhan met Jiang Wang's aunt Jiang Yue.
The other person had curly hair, and was wearing a bright yellow floral dress with stockings, a beige woolen coat, and small leather shoes. She looked like a fashionable woman.
Standing next to her was her brother-in-law Zhao Yongli, dressed in black clothes and black pants, and they were holding their ten-year-old daughter Zhao Xiaoya.
As soon as Zhao Xiaoya saw Ye Yanhan, she called out sweetly, "Sister-in-law!"
