Chapter 578 Family Reunion (4)
"Okay." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, jumped off the bed, put on her cotton slippers and walked out.
Outside, Grandpa Shu was lying on a recliner covered with a thick quilt, with a bamboo basket holding a stove in front of him.
The stove was made of woven bamboo, with a large porcelain bowl inside, where charcoal could be placed. The bamboo basket could also be woven larger or smaller according to needs. The one in front of Grandpa Shu was the largest one in the house, which could warm several people, and old bedding was placed on top.
Ruan Jiaojiao came out of the house, and did not rush to wash her face or brush her teeth, but ran to Grandpa Shu and acted cute: "Grandpa, did you sleep well last night? Did you sleep warmly?" Then she stretched out her little hand to touch his hand in front of her, and nodded to herself when she felt the warmth: "Yes, it's warm, Grandpa is not frozen."
Seeing the little guy's actions, Grandpa Shu's heart was really warm.
In front of Shu Jie and his three siblings, he was not a kind father, but a very strict father. The three siblings were respectful to him but not close enough. They would never act coquettishly with him like this, let alone touch him and say that he was not frozen.
At this moment, his heart was so warm that he touched the boy's head lovingly: "Go wash up."
"Yes." Ruan Jiaojiao went to wash her face and brush her teeth. When brushing her teeth, Xu Xu had already prepared warm water for her, which would not freeze her teeth or be too hot.
Ruan Jiaojiao squatted on the steps in front of the door to brush her teeth.
Xu Xu had already brought her breakfast, and put it on the chair as before, and then moved a small stool behind the chair, so that Ruan Jiaojiao could eat it as soon as she washed her face.
The way Xu Xu and Ruan Jiaojiao got along with each other had become a habit, and no one in the Ruan family was surprised, but it was the first time that Old Master Shu saw it, and he looked at it with a little curiosity.
Especially Xu Xu, his eyes were almost from top to bottom, without missing a single thing.
Xu Xu could naturally feel his gaze, but he just didn't care.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Ruan Jianguo rushed back from the city, and the rain outside stopped. He bought some vegetables. There were a lot of game at home, but thinking that the old man was not in good health yet and couldn't eat too much, he bought a sea bass.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the conversation last night, and greeted the old man with a simple smile.
Old Man Shu glanced at him, thought of something, coughed, and asked: "Is there a photo studio in your town?"
"Yes, Dad, do you want to take Jiaojiao to take a photo?" Ruan Jianguo asked.
Grandpa Shu nodded reservedly: "Take more photos."
Ruan Jiaojiao, who was eating breakfast, blinked silently. Ever since she learned from her mother that Grandpa Shu would not take photos, and if he did, the photos would be lost, she always felt a little weird about taking photos with him... After
Ruan Jiaojiao finished breakfast, Ruan Jianguo took her and Grandpa Shu to the town, and of course Xu Xu went with them.
It was impossible to take a hundred photos. Money was not lacking, but Grandpa Shu's body could not bear it.
When taking the last photo, Grandpa Shu suddenly pointed at the two people watching nearby and said, "You, come here, take photos together."
"Me?" Ruan Jianguo pointed at himself. He was so happy that he opened his legs and prepared to go up. He was thinking that the old man was just like what his wife said, hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
But he had just taken a step forward when he saw Grandpa Shu shaking his head and said, "It's not you, I'm talking about him." The direction he pointed at was Xu Xu.

Ruan Jianguo: My father-in-law abused me thousands of times, but I treated him like... Ugh! So angry╭(╯^╰)╮This
