It was three days later that Liu Kaixu learned that Liu Ruonan had bought the farm machinery warehouse. Of course, he also knew that Liu Ruonan had not immediately reached out to him when she encountered difficulties, and he always felt bad in his heart.
However, Liu Kaixu could understand this. After all, the two generations had just met, and there was a son between them, so it was understandable that their feelings might be a little cold.
Liu Kaixu had been a doctor all his life and had saved a lot of money. After discussing with Song Xinlan, he took the bus to the tube-shaped building in the military family compound where Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng lived.
Liu Ruonan was not at home at the moment, so she took advantage of Zhuang Sheng's rest and asked him to take her to take a look at the agricultural machinery warehouse so that she could make a rough plan for the future use of the warehouse.
In fact, although Zhuang Sheng supported Liu Ruonan at the beginning, he really didn't know what Liu Ruonan was going to do with the warehouse. In the past few days, Liu Ruonan has told Zhuang Sheng all her thoughts. In fact, Liu Ruonan felt sorry for this. She said, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, I'm sorry for investing all our family savings in this."
But Zhuang Sheng didn't care at all. He said that money is earned to be spent. What's more, Liu Ruonan's original intention was to do business, not to waste money.
Moreover, he was actually quite optimistic about Liu Ruonan. Inexplicably, in his heart, no matter what Liu Ruonan did, she would be successful. Zhuang Sheng was still very convinced of this.
When they returned to the tube building, Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan had been waiting at the door for a long time. It was the end of the first lunar month, and the temperature rose a little during the day, but it dropped sharply in the afternoon, and there was still a sense of coldness.
Liu Ruonan saw Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan standing at the door, their noses red from the cold. After Zhuang Sheng parked the car, Liu Ruonan hurried over, took Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan's hands, and asked with concern, "Grandpa and grandma, why are you here? You must have been waiting for a long time, right?"
The moment she held their hands, Liu Ruonan felt a piercing chill. Perhaps they had thought it was warm during the day and dressed lightly, but now the temperature had dropped.
The cold is inevitable.
"Go open the door quickly." Liu Ruonan turned around and said to Zhuang Sheng who was hurriedly walking over. Zhuang Sheng didn't even have time to say hello before he quickly took out the key and went forward to open the door.
Liu Ruonan hurried inside, holding Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan's hands. The indoor heating had been turned off, and it was still a little chilly. Zhuang Sheng brewed two cups of hot tea and brought them to Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan.
"Grandpa and grandma, why didn't you say hello before you came?" There was a hint of blame in Liu Ruonan's concerned words. They were both elderly, and it would be bad if they caught a cold.
Liu Kaixu smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't have to wait long."
In fact, they had arrived in the morning, and since no one was around, they waited at the door. A neighbor in the family compound saw them and invited them inside to wait, but the elderly couple was stubborn, saying they felt embarrassed to bother others. At noon, they went to a nearby Tianjin soup dumpling restaurant, had some steamed dumplings, and sat down to rest for a while. They were afraid Liu Ruonan would come back for lunch, so they didn't dare sit for too long.
But I didn't expect that I would have to wait for a whole day.
Liu Kaixu looked around the room. It wasn't very large, but thankfully it was kept quite clean and felt like a cozy little nest. The conditions here weren't great; even the bathroom and kitchen were shared, which was quite inconvenient. Strictly speaking, the conditions here weren't as good as those in the attic.
Actually, seeing Liu Ruonan living in such a place, the old couple felt very distressed. But this is the condition they have now, and there is nothing they can do about it.
Zhuang Sheng thought, the two old people have been waiting outside for so long, they must be cold and hungry now. Zhuang Sheng said a few words to the two old people, then went to the kitchen to cook. He wanted to keep them for dinner tonight. This was their first time at Liu Ruonan's place.
When Zhuang Sheng came back after finishing his work, Liu Kaixu waved his hand and called Zhuang Sheng over. The four of them sat facing each other. After a long silence, Liu Kaixu took out a small handkerchief from his pocket. The handkerchief was folded into a square shape, and it seemed that there was something inside. Liu Kaixu slowly opened it and found that it was a passbook. Liu Kaixu put the passbook on the table and said to Liu Ruonan: "This is a little gift from grandpa and grandma. I know that our recognition may be a little sudden, and you may not be able to adapt to it for a while. But your grandma and I sincerely hope that when you are in trouble, you can think of us old couple first. After all, we are the only two blood relatives left in this world."
There was a bitterness in Liu Kaixu's words. He was actually quite upset that Liu Ruonan would rather borrow money from others than ask him for it. The more so, the more it showed that she didn't treat them as family. This feeling was not good.
Liu Ruonan also understood what Liu Kaixu meant. She pushed the passbook back in front of him and said, "Grandpa and grandma, we can't take your money. You're getting older and will have more places to spend money in the future. Having money in hand will always make you feel more at ease. We're still young, so it doesn't matter if life is a little hard. We can earn money if we work hard."
Liu Kaixu shook his head and sighed deeply: "Hey! You are still a stranger to us!"
Perhaps, Liu Ruonan's way of expression gave Liu Kaixu this idea.
With the love they had for each other in their previous lives, plus the love they had just met in this life, how could Liu Ruonan possibly be distant with Liu Kaixu? However, she felt that people did need money when they got old. Moreover, this money was what they had saved their entire lives, so how could she just ask for it and use it to start a business?
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant, I..."
"I know what you're thinking." Liu Kaixu interrupted her before she could finish her words. He looked at her kindly and said, "You're worried about the potential losses in business, and you're afraid we'll lose all our money. But as you said, you and Zhuang Sheng are still young. So what if we're broke? You can always make a comeback! Besides, your grandmother and I gave you all our money. Does that mean we won't be able to take care of ourselves in our old age? Are you saying that when we get old, you'll just leave us alone?"
"Of course not!"
"If it's not your thing, then just keep it. Your grandmother and I are relying on you two to support us in our old age." Liu Kaixu said sternly and righteously, almost using an ordering tone. Liu Ruonan finally couldn't argue anymore and agreed to accept it.
After the family had dinner together, Zhuang Sheng drove the two elderly people back home.
