Jiang Wenwan agreed, and the two of them answered the phone together. They then heard Zhou's father say on the other end of the line:
"The situation over there is quite serious right now; the phone line is temporarily disconnected."
Once the phone line is connected, I'll call you as soon as I have any news.
Don't overthink things, and don't be too nervous.
Also, your grandma is on her way to your place now, and she should arrive soon.
The old lady is worried about you and insisted on coming to keep an eye on you; she probably won't be staying for very long.
Finally, Zhou's father asked Jiang Wenwan to give the phone to Shen Meiling.
"The old lady is very easy to get along with. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard for a few days."
Hearing him say that, Shen Meiling quickly replied:
"It's not hard at all. I've been through pregnancy myself, and I know that pregnancy is not easy for anyone."
Besides, I didn't do anything special, just cooked a meal.
Did that old lady say she was coming to stay for a few days?
A low chuckle came from the other end of the microphone.
"They didn't say, but they probably won't stay for too long. The elderly aren't used to the climate here."
Jiang Wenwan vaguely heard what was being said on the other end of the microphone and saw Shen Meiling. She visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately said nervously:
"Oh dear, the old lady has already taken a car from the division headquarters and is coming this way."
They might arrive soon; let's hurry and go pick them up.
Jiang Wenwan noticed that she was genuinely nervous and was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Old Mrs. Zhou was very powerful?
As we walked back together, before we even reached her doorstep, we saw an old lady standing at her door.
Behind the old man was Zhou's father's orderly; needless to say, this was Zhou's grandmother.
Grandma Zhou recognized Shen Meiling and saw her walking over with Jiang Wenwan.
He glanced at Shen Meiling, then his gaze fell on Jiang Wenwan.
He glanced at Jiang Wenwan, smiled, walked up to her, and nodded:
"Good child, you must have been worried sick these past few days, right?"
Don't worry, Dunzi will definitely be fine.
I heard you're pregnant. Are you two months along now?
"Let's go home and talk. Don't travel too much for the first three months; try to take it easy."
Jiang Wenwan found the old man to be quite kind.
She flashed a sweet smile and called out.
Hello, Grandma!
Grandma, are you tired from the journey?
Let's hurry home. There's a rocking chair in my yard that's perfect for Grandma.
"Oh, by the way, Grandma, I'm learning to knit. I'll knit you a set sometime."
These words made Old Mrs. Zhou very happy.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely wear the sweater my granddaughter-in-law knitted for me!"
Jiang Wenwan helped Grandma Zhou into the courtyard, while Shen Meiling followed obediently beside her, like a dutiful daughter-in-law.
Jiang Wenwan noticed that the other hand was holding hers.
"Grandma, my mom has been taking care of me here these past two days. Her cooking is so delicious!"
Jiang Wenwan instantly transformed into a sweet little granddaughter, perhaps a bit like she was trying to look young.
However, Grandma Zhou was quite receptive to her approach.
He glanced at Shen Meiling upon hearing this.
"You must have had a tough time these past few days."
Before I came here, I checked out Zhou Ye. He's getting stronger and stronger.
It looks like you're taking good care of her.
Now that I'm here, if you're worried about Zhou Ye, you can go back!
Don't let my age fool you, I can still move my arms and legs, I'm doing great!
Cooking a meal is no problem.
Jiang Wenwan couldn't possibly let an elderly person serve her, so she quickly said:
"Grandma, you really don't need to serve me."
I can manage on my own. It's only been two months since the first month of pregnancy.
She can do anything; it's not like she's about to give birth.
And I don't have any morning sickness symptoms at all right now.
See how perfectly fine I am?
When the old lady heard him say that, she realized it was true.
"That won't do either. Since I'm here, I'll stay a while longer."
"Let's talk about it after you give birth!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Meiling quickly replied:
"Mom, don't worry, I've got you covered!"
I'll take care of things here these next few days, everything will be fine.
As Shen Meiling spoke, Jiang Wenwan took the key and opened the courtyard gate, and the group of them entered the courtyard.
Zhou's orderly helped the old lady take her things inside and put them away.
Then, facing the three of them, he snapped to attention and gave a crisp military salute.
"Report! The items have been placed. If there's anything else I need you to do, please let me know as soon as possible."
For example, I'm open to any kind of subject matter!
Jiang Wenwan smiled as she looked at him and said:
"There really is! There's a pile of firewood over there that hasn't been chopped yet. Why don't you chop it up and have lunch here before you leave?"
"yes!"
Zhou's father's orderly responded and ran off to chop wood.
Jiang Wenwan led the old lady around the courtyard to familiarize her with the terrain.
In the blink of an eye, I saw that Shen Meiling had already rushed to the kitchen to get busy.
It seems she is genuinely afraid of this Grandma Zhou.
Jiang Wenwan didn't think anything of it for the time being, and the old man seemed quite easy to get along with.
"You've come at the right time. This is the house that Zhou Ye used to stay in every week, one day at a time."
There's another room over there. Which one would you like to stay in?
The lady pointed to the other side and said:
"Then I'll stay in that room. If Ono comes over, he'll need somewhere to stay."
Let him stay in that room, and I'll stay in this one.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Wenwan and sighed.
Have you lost weight these past few days?
Did you eat properly?
Guess what I brought you this time?
