Chapter 151 I Like You So Much
As soon as they got off the car, someone respectfully invited Lin Yunxi and her son in.
The courtyard where General Song lived had three entrances and three exits. One entered from the main gate and then passed through the hanging flower gate to enter the second courtyard.
Following the instructions of the visitor, Lin Yunxi took Yanyan to the restaurant in the east wing.
After entering the door, she saw General Song Zheng sitting at the head seat at the dining table, and she walked forward.
He introduced himself respectfully: "Hello, General Song, I am Lin Yunxi, and this is my son, Gu Jiayan."
Then he said to his son, "Yanyan, this is Grandpa Song, come and say hello to him."
Little boy Gu Jiayan was not afraid of birth and had a sweet mouth. He smiled sweetly and shouted to the old general.
"Hello, Grandpa Song, my name is Gu Jiayan, I'm three years old this year, and I'm glad to meet you."
The old general had the country in his heart and fought in battles for half his life. He never married and had no children. When he got old, his daily life was taken care of by nannies and guards.
When I get older, I especially like children because they are full of energy.
He had seen the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of his old comrades before. Perhaps it was because he had been on the battlefield and his aura was too strong.
It could also be because of his bark-dry face and hands, and the age spots on his skin.
The timid children would be scared and cry on the spot, and those who were a little braver would just hide behind adults and dare not take a step forward.
This was the first time that Song Zheng saw a child who was not afraid of him. He was a little curious and stretched out his hand to call the little guy to come forward.
"Hello, Yanyan, come here and let grandpa take a look."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiayan took small steps forward and stood directly in front of General Song.
He tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, is your eyesight not good? Can't you see Yanyan?"
Then, he put his little face directly in front of Grandpa Song, blinking his big eyes.
"This way you can see clearly, and you will be able to recognize Yanyan next time we meet."
The cute appearance of the childish talk made the old general laugh: "Good boy, good boy, now grandpa can see clearly, I guarantee that I can recognize you at a glance next time."
The nanny who was busy in the kitchen heard the sound and couldn't help but look over here.
She has taken care of General Song for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen him laugh so loudly and so happily.
Song Zheng really liked Yanyan so much that he reached out and tried to hold the little girl on his lap.
Seeing this, Lin Yunxi hurried forward to stop him: "Old General, you can't do that. This child is very heavy."
Unexpectedly, General Song simply waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm an old man and I still have enough strength to pick up a child."
Then, he held the person firmly on his lap.
"Yanyan, aren't you afraid of me?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. Dad said that those wearing military uniforms and carrying guns are all soldiers. They protect our country so that ordinary people can live in peace. They are all heroes."
"You are their boss, you are the greatest hero, Yanyan wants to be like you in the future!"
Gu Jiayan sat obediently on Grandpa Song's lap and said with great admiration.
These words really touched the old man's heart, and he reached out and gently stroked the little guy's tender face.
I didn't dare use any force, for fear that my rough skin would scratch the child.
"Okay, you have ambition. Grandpa will try to live longer and wait to see our Yanyan become a great hero."
"Okay, let's make a deal. Make a pinky promise."
Two hands, one big and one small, one tender and one dry, were tightly put together to make an agreement.
Because there were guests coming today, the nanny prepared four dishes: braised pork, potato and chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs with zucchini, and stir-fried cabbage.
It wasn’t as heavy as the food Lin Yunxi brought, which only had seven dishes and one soup.
It's quite filling for two adults and a child.
Looking at the extra food that Lin Yunxi brought, General Song realized that when he sent someone to invite her, the other person was just about to eat, so he immediately said "excuse me".
In fact, Lin Yunxi felt extremely proud and respectful to receive an invitation from a founding general, and she quickly replied.
"It's our honor to have you treat us to a meal. It's a good opportunity for you to have a taste of my cooking."
Little Gu Jiayan also echoed his mother's words and said, "Grandpa, I swear that my mother's cooking is the most delicious in the world."
"Hahahaha, okay, it's time for dinner, let's eat first and let grandpa try your mother's cooking."
While eating, Yanyan was very caring towards the very domineering grandfather whom she just met today. She kept putting food into his bowl and introducing the food to him as she did so.
"Grandpa, these are my mother's specialties and my favorite dishes. Please try them."
General Song has lived for so many years and has eaten a lot of delicious food, even often attending state banquets.
But he didn't want to offend his little grandson, whom he had just met, so he picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, tasted it, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The ribs are stewed until they are soft, crispy and fragrant. Put them in your mouth and they melt in your mouth with a light sip of your tongue, leaving only the aroma of the meat.
