Chapter 149: Proposing Marriage?
Seeing a servant speaking so rudely to her, Song Jihe also got angry. "I said, you're abusing the elderly by playing this kind of rubbish music. What's wrong with me saying a few words to you?"
Dalin spilled a handful of melon seeds on the ground, her face flushed with anger. "Did I ask you to play this music? This is what the old lady wanted to listen to. You don't even know what your own old lady likes, and you come here to criticize others?"
“…”
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Dalin said.
Great-grandmother loves to hear this?!
Only then did everyone turn their eyes to the great-grandmother lying in the wheelchair.
At this time, my great-grandmother had her eyes closed, and I didn't know whether she was asleep or resting.
The music from the speakers nearby was so loud that my great-grandmother didn't hear much of the quarrel between the two people.
Lu Yan walked to his great-grandmother's side, leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Great-grandmother, your great-grandson is here to see you."
Hearing the voice, my great-grandmother slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils had become transparent and gray over the years, but the clarity in them remained unchanged.
The dry old mouth with few teeth left made a rumbling sound when he spoke.
"Are you my great-grandson?"
Lu Yan stared at the face full of wrinkles, whose expression was hardly discernible, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The last time I saw my great-grandmother, she was already an old lady, and now she seems to be even older.
Worried that the old woman might not hear clearly, Lu Yan whispered in her ear:
"Yes, I am your great-grandson, great-grandson."
He pointed to the speaker next to him and asked the old man.
"Do you like this music?"
Great-grandmother saw Lu Yan pointing at the speaker, and probably knew that he felt it was inappropriate for him to listen to this music. She felt embarrassed, as if someone had discovered some unusual hobby of hers.
The great-grandmother put her hand to her mouth tremblingly, and said to Lu Yan in a low voice with a smile: "I just like this noise."
Lu Yan was touched by his great-grandmother’s cuteness. It turned out that his great-grandmother really wanted to listen to it.
He stood up and said to Dalin, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged just now. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."
Seeing that Lu Yan was handsome and spoke nicely, Dalin was no longer angry.
"No, no, no, it's just a misunderstanding~"
She stroked her temples, and a blush appeared on her dark face.
This little episode has come to an end. Although my great-grandmother loves to listen to the DJ version of Phoenix Legend, it does not affect her majesty in the hearts of her descendants.
Song Jihe walked over and squatted beside his great-grandmother, took the old lady's hand and began to talk to her.
"Grandma, I'm Xiaohe, I'm here to see you."
Great-grandmother glanced at her, her expression unchanged. "Xiao He? Enya's daughter?"
Enya is my grandmother's name, her full name is Qi Enya.
Because Song Jihe married and moved far away to Haicheng, she rarely came back to see her great-grandmother in recent years, so her great-grandmother didn't have much impression of her.
"Enya?" Li Qingqing muttered softly. She poked Lu Yan's arm and asked him, "Is Enya your grandmother's name?"
Lu Yan smiled: "Well, it sounds nice, doesn't it?"
Li Qingqing nodded. The name inexplicably reminded her of those vivid images of young girls.
She suddenly thought that every elderly person in their twilight years was once a young man or girl full of vigor and vitality, but time was merciless and those vivid images were gradually forgotten in the dust of history.
When she thought that she would still be called Qingqing when she was eighty years old, she had a magical feeling. That feeling was probably a sense of wonder that her thoughts traveled through time and space.
Flowers never bloom again, and people never become young again. It is really cruel to say so.
Lu Yan's grandmother was called "Enya", so what was her own grandmother's name? Li Qingqing suddenly became curious.
Seeing that her great-grandmother didn't seem to have a deep impression of her, Song Jihe agreed, "Yes, I am Enya's daughter. You still remember me, right?"
Great-grandmother giggled, and her wrinkles deepened a little. "I remember, I remember."
Suddenly her expression paused, as if she remembered that she had another granddaughter.
"Where's Hualan? Isn't Hualan here? She hasn't come to see me for a long time."
…
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression froze.
When Li Qingqing heard someone mention her mother's name, a sour feeling instantly rushed into her heart.
The mother whom she had never met but always lived in other people's mouths could always touch the softest part of her heart.
She glanced away, and calmly let the warm winter sun dry the thin layer of tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, the fingertips moved slightly, and a warm big hand held her hand tightly.
Li Qingqing didn't turn around, but she knew that the tall and warm figure would always stand behind her.
It was obvious that when great-grandmother asked this question, she didn't know that Li Hualan had passed away.
Song Jihe didn't know whether the Li family didn't dare tell her great-grandmother about Li Hualan's death because they were afraid of upsetting her, or if there was some other reason.
To be on the safe side, she didn't tell her great-grandmother the news directly, but just said that Hualan was busy and would come to see her in a few days.
After a brief moment of sadness, Song Jihe did not forget the purpose of his coming here today.
She called Lu Yan and Li Qingqing to her great-grandmother and introduced them to her: "Grandma, this is my son A Yan, and that is Hua Lan's child Qing Qing."
Great-grandmother's light-colored pupils rolled around, then she squinted and looked carefully at the two people in front of her, an expression of seeing something beautiful appeared on her face.
"What a pair of pretty kids...are you...letting me arrange a marriage for them?"
"Propose marriage?!"
Song Jihe's body stiffened, and he wondered if this old lady was really not senile?
Afraid that the old lady would not realize their relationship for a while, Song Jihe steadied herself and emphasized it to her again.
"Grandma, one of these two children is mine and the other is Hualan's. Do you think they are suitable to be together?"
This time, great-grandmother paused slightly.
But the answer she gave the next second still failed to satisfy Song Jihe.
"It's perfect. These two kids look so good together, holding hands."
“…”
Song Jihe turned around and looked at the two people still holding hands, and immediately became furious.
"You two should let go of your hands first. You've caused great-grandmother to misunderstand you."
Li Qingqing tried to pull her hand away awkwardly, but Lu Yan held it tightly.
"Even my great-grandmother said we were a good match. What else do you have to say?"
Song Jihe did not give up and emphasized to his great-grandmother again:
"Grandma, you're getting old and confused. One is your great-grandson, and the other is your great-granddaughter. Now they insist on dating each other. Don't you think it's a loss of family tradition?"
Song Jihe held his great-grandmother's hand tightly and looked into her eyes seriously, not knowing whether he was trying to emphasize something or brainwash her.
When my great-grandmother heard what she said, she was suddenly stunned, with her head tilted to one side as if she was thinking hard.
