Seeing the old lady so happy, the old man couldn't help but laugh. He blew out the lantern, put it aside, sat at the table and started chatting with Ji Xingzhi and the others.
The old man said that he and the old woman had been childhood sweethearts, supported each other as they grew up, and grew old together. They were a very successful and happy couple, living a self-sufficient life and were very content. The only regret was that they had no children. It was said that the old woman had once been seriously ill and was in poor health. Pregnancy could be fatal for her if she was not careful.
The old man felt sorry for the old woman, so he discussed with her not to have children. The old woman disagreed at first, but later she got pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage.
Later, the grandmother listened to the grandfather and no longer planned to have children.
To be honest, Ji Xingzhi was actually quite envious of the old grandpa and grandma. Although they had no children, they had supported each other throughout their lives.
Xue Yang took the initiative and recognized the old grandfather and grandmother as grandparents for Ji Xingzhi and herself. Ji Xingzhi had no objection and followed suit, calling them grandpa and grandma. The two old people were so happy that they gave them some change.
Ji Xingzhi and Xue Yang accepted it without hesitation. The two old men didn't look like they were the kind who would worry about food and clothing, so it would be a shame not to accept it. It would be good to take some change with them, as they would definitely need money in the future.
"Grandpa, what are you doing in Dongping County?" Xue Yang asked, looking puzzled, standing next to the old lady.
The old man's face darkened slightly: "Worship, tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents' death."
"Grandpa, do you go there every year?" Xue Yang asked.
The old lady nodded slightly and said, "It's like this every year."
Xue Yang smiled and said, "Grandpa is so thoughtful."
Ji Xingzhi listened quietly to the three people's conversation, not interrupting. But as she listened, she felt something was amiss. Grandpa and Grandma went to Dongping County every year, and Dongping County was the only way to get to Huazhou State. Ji Xingzhi really didn't understand why Uncle Qin would entrust them to Grandpa and Grandma... Was there some conspiracy?
The old man took Ji Xingzhi and Xue Yang to the side room and left the lantern in the room. After the old man left, Xue Yang's expression immediately changed 180 degrees, from playful and cute to arrogant, from considerate to domineering.
"I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor." Xue Yang quickly ran to the only bed in the room, stood with his legs apart, his hands on his hips, his chin slightly raised, and looked down at Ji Xingzhi.
Ji Xingzhi was stunned and looked at Xue Yang with amusement: "Why?"
Xue Yang snorted coldly, glancing at Ji Xingzhi with a self-righteous look, and said with disdain, "Is the fact that I am superior to you enough?"
Ji Xingzhi's mouth twitched. It was indeed one or two centimeters taller.
I thought he would come up with some earth-shattering and tear-jerking reason, but the result was...
Looking at Xue Yang's smug look, Ji Xingzhi sincerely wondered if this kid was... stupid?
"That's enough..." Ji Xingzhi was speechless.
Xue Yang raised his chin proudly, lay down on the bed with peace of mind, and covered himself with the quilt.
Ji Xingzhi looked at the cabinet next to her and opened it to see that there was indeed a quilt and a pillow inside. Usually, high cabinets like this are filled with quilts and other things. Don't ask her how she knew this, of course it's because she's smart.
Well, actually it was because Ji Xingzhi often saw the eunuch taking blankets and other things from this high cabinet to cover Ji Xingzhi, so she took it for granted.
