Volume 1 Chapter 86 A Very Coincidental Thing
Grandma Sheng is quite scary when she gets angry. This is the first time my family has seen Grandma Sheng angry.
"Nana, don't be angry, eat an orange, is it sweet?"
She stuffed a slice of orange into Grandma Sheng's mouth, and Grandma Sheng subconsciously chewed it twice.
"sweet!"
"Eat more sweets, this one is all yours."
Sheng Wanyan placed the peeled fruit in her hand and raised her voice unconsciously with a proud expression.
When Grandma Sheng saw Sheng Wanyan's pretentious look, she was really amused by her.
But they still have to remain serious on the surface, otherwise others will think that their family is easy to bully.
The old lady in the next bed saw her take out another orange, and this time she was so angry that she started shaking all over.
Sheng Wanyan took out three more from the cloth bag, one each for Grandpa Sheng, Father Sheng, and Mother Sheng.
The family started eating in front of the old lady in the next bed. When the middle-aged man lying in the bed near the door saw this scene, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
This family is quite interesting.
Mr. Sheng stayed to take care of the child at night. He had already eaten a full meal before going out. Mrs. Sheng also brought him a pancake and an egg so he could eat when he was hungry at night.
Sheng Wanyan, Grandma Sheng and Mother Sheng went home. The three women drank their porridge and went to bed early.
The next day, Sheng Wanyan met Gu Tong (Gu Tingxiao's aunt) in the ward. When Gu Tong saw her coming to the hospital, he immediately came forward, held her hand and asked about the situation.
"Yan'er, why are you here? Is someone in your family sick?"
"Aunt Gu...my grandfather is sick."
"Why are you here?"
She didn't see Gu Tong here the whole day yesterday. Gu Tong patted her head and introduced her to him.
"Lao Ning, this is Ting Xiao's girlfriend, Sheng Wanyan."
"This is my husband, you can just call him Uncle Ning."
Her husband was the middle-aged man in the bed at the door. Ning Weiguo sat up immediately after hearing his wife's introduction.
Ning Weiguo is a soldier and the commander of the Chengdu Military Region. He was hospitalized this time because of a recurrence of an old injury.
It just so happened that someone in his family was the director of the hospital, so he was brought here by his wife.
"Hello, Uncle Ning."
"Hello, so you are the one that Ting Xiao is dating."
"yes……"
She was a little overwhelmed when she suddenly met the elders of the Gu family in the hospital.
"Yan'er, what happened to your grandfather? Do you want me to contact the dean for you?"
"Auntie Gu, no need, my grandfather is fine."
"Really? We're all a family from now on, so don't be polite to me."
"Really, you'll be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
Gu Tong felt relieved when he saw that she didn't seem to be lying. His nephew wrote to him every month asking him to take care of Sheng Wanyan.
Now that something happened to the Sheng family, her nephew must be worried to death. It seems that she has to send a telegram to his nephew later.
His partner works so hard to take care of grandpa every day, shouldn't he, as a grown man, show some concern for him?
"Okay, then tell me if you need anything, don't be shy."
"Auntie Gu, I will, don't worry."
Gu Tong patted her hands and gave her the apple he brought.
"Give it to the old man to eat and replenish his body."
"Auntie Gu, I don't need it. I brought some fruit for my grandfather."
"It's okay, just consider it as a little token of my appreciation."
When Sheng Wanyan heard this, she did not refuse and took out two pears from her cloth bag and gave them to her.
Gu Tong accepted it without any hesitation. This kid really didn't want to owe anyone anything.
She has to come here often these days to build good relations with the Sheng family and help her nephew get married as soon as possible.
"Uncle Ning, Aunt Gu, I'm going over first."
"Okay, okay."
Sheng Wanyan checked on Grandpa Sheng's condition. Grandpa Sheng hadn't woken up yet and was sleeping soundly.
She had nothing to do, so she took out the fruits and washed them. When she came back, she saw Grandpa Sheng woke up.
"Master, have some fruit."
Sheng Wanyan brought a fruit knife, peeled the apple and handed it to Grandpa Sheng. Grandpa Sheng asked a few questions when he saw the apple.
"Gu Tingxiao's aunt? Are we so destined to be together?"
"yes……"
As soon as Grandpa Sheng finished speaking, Gu Tong came over to say hello, followed by Ning Weiguo.
"Hello, old man. I am Gu Tingxiao's aunt. I didn't expect that we would meet here by chance."
"How is your health, old man? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Tong was so enthusiastic that Grandpa Sheng sat up and started chatting with them.
Sheng Wanyan moved two stools, and Gu Tong and Ning Weiguo sat down.
“I didn’t expect it to be so fateful.”
"I'm in good health, don't worry."
Gu Tong nodded after hearing this, and then she started to talk about her strengths to make Grandpa Sheng happy.
"I liked Yan'er the first time I saw her. I didn't expect that she would be so destined to be together with my nephew."
"My nephew is already 26 years old and still single. His family is very worried."
"All his brothers and sisters are married, and he is the only one among his grandchildren who is still single."
"It's all right now. My elder brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry about it anymore. Yan'er is such a good girl. My sister-in-law will be so happy that she won't be able to sleep for several days if she knows about this."
Gu Tong kept praising Sheng Wanyan and revealed some of the family situations to Grandpa Sheng.
She just wanted Grandpa Sheng to know that the family was very satisfied with Sheng Wanyan and was eager to marry Gu Tingxiao as soon as possible.
Grandpa Sheng had no idea what was going on when he heard this. Aunt Gu was telling him that the Gu family was very satisfied with this marriage and was just waiting for the Sheng family to agree to propose.
"The children are free to date each other. If two of them are ready to get married, we as elders will naturally be happy."
"The two children are doing well, this is what our elders hope for the most."
Gu Tong kept nodding his head in agreement with Grandpa Sheng's words, but he knew in his heart that the Sheng family had not agreed yet, and everything depended on Sheng Wanyan's own nod.
The Sheng family does not sell their daughters for fame and fortune, and the girls in the family have their own say in their marriages.
You can tell how anxious her nephew is from the letters he writes to her every month.
Now, I'm afraid Sheng Wanyan hasn't nodded in agreement yet, so her nephew will have to keep up the good work.
"What the old man said is that as elders, we all want our children to live well."
"The two kids are dating each other, and both of our families are in Chengdu, so we should visit each other more often."
Grandpa Sheng nodded. It would be a good thing for the two families to visit each other more often, as they would be relatives from now on.
"Okay, okay, let's visit each other more often."
"My old lady cooks delicious food, come to my house for dinner then."
When Gu Tong heard Xinran's agreement, she must go to the house for dinner, otherwise how could she help her nephew leave a good impression in the Sheng family.
"Don't mind me bothering you, old man."
"No, no, we are usually the only two old people at home, and you coming over is just to cheer us up."
"Just come and keep us two old guys company if you don't mind."
