Qin Zun thought that after returning to the old house, his heart would be calmer, but he didn't expect that he would still think of the fairy tale when he was not paying attention.
Maybe a busy job can help me get away from it all!
Qin Zun decided to go back to the company immediately. He went downstairs and prepared to ask Assistant Zhou to drive back.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw the old man in front coming back, followed by several servants. One was holding a bamboo pole and a stool for him, and the other two were carrying two wooden buckets.
As they walked, some water would occasionally ripple out of the wooden barrel. It seemed that the water contained the fish caught by the old man.
Qin Zun took a few steps forward and said, "Old man, you have gained a lot."
Old Master Qin said with a hint of deep meaning: "I have gained a lot, but what about you?"
Just now when he was fishing by the lake, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Zhang coming to tell him that his eldest grandson Qin Zun had come, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Old Master Qin asked casually, who came back with him?
Uncle Zhang said that it was Assistant Zhou who drove him back.
Old Master Qin thought for a moment. Usually, it was Old Liu who drove his eldest grandson back to his hometown, but now it was Assistant Zhou who drove him instead. Assistant Zhou worked for his eldest grandson's company.
In other words, the eldest grandson left his work halfway and came back impulsively?
Speaking of his eldest grandson, he is an absolute workaholic. Before he got married, work was almost everything in his life. Sometimes he would still be busy working during the Chinese New Year and would not go home.
If he hadn't spoken forcefully, the Qin family would have to return to their old home every New Year, no matter where they were. As an old man, he would probably only see his eldest grandson a few times a year.
Such a person who regards work as his life would suddenly quit his job and return to his old home one day. No matter how you think about it, something must have happened, and it might be related to his granddaughter-in-law.
Qin Zun had a tense face and didn't say anything.
Originally, he went back to the old house and didn't plan to do anything, he just wanted to stay for a while, but he didn't expect that the old man would still notice his abnormality.
Seeing him like this, Old Master Qin concluded: "It seems that you two had a quarrel."
Arguing?! Arguing is fine. A couple who have no feelings for each other and are like strangers can never argue. It seems that the old man's trick of forcing marriage is still effective.
No, this is much more serious than a quarrel. They are arguing about divorce, Qin Zun thought.
Old Master Qin looked at him with a smile and said to Qin Zun: "It's not easy for you to come here, so why not have a meal with me before you leave?"
Old Master Qin waved his hand, signaling Qin Zun to follow him. Qin Zun followed the old man with a wooden face.
Old Master Qin took him to the garden, said nothing, picked up the shovel beside him and started digging the soil. Qin Zun didn't want the old man to work so hard, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me do it. You are old, you should rest more."
Qin Zun took the shovel and began to dig the soil along the place where the old man was digging, and the old man was instructing him from the side.
"We need to loosen the soil so we can plant flowers again. After we plant the flower seeds in the ground, we need to come back frequently to weed and water."
"Don't underestimate the ease of growing flowers; there's a lot of knowledge involved."
Qin Zun loosened the soil of the land as instructed, and then the old man immediately told him to weed the other flowers.
Qin Zun picked up the hoe and started weeding. Fortunately, there were not many weeds in this area. Qin Zun quickly removed the weeds and finally started watering the flowers.
After finishing all this, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang immediately brought a handkerchief and asked Qin Zun to wipe the sweat off his face.
Old Master Qin brought Qin Zun to a place in the garden where flowers were blooming luxuriantly.
He pointed at the flowers with emotion and said, "Look, this is the result of our hard workâthis extremely beautiful patch of blossoms. Your grandmother loved looking at these beautiful flowers the most. Because of her love for them, she never tired of working so hard before the flowers bloomed. When your grandmother was alive, she was the one who took care of this garden. I didn't know it was so hard work, but now she's gone. Even though it's hard, I will take good care of it for her."
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Zun with a deep gaze and said, "The same is true for marriage. To have a happy and fulfilling marriage, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It requires the couple to take care of it together and manage it together."
Qin Zun looked at the flower-filled garden and said gravely, "Grandpa, you also said that marriage requires two people to work together. It's impossible for only one person to do it."
Please ask him a question: "Do you think you are the only one who is struggling in this marriage? The other party may also feel the same way."
Qin Zun murmured: "Is there such a possibility?"
Tonghua had already brought up the issue of a divorce agreement during this quarrel. He did not think that this was just a simple quarrel between husband and wife. She also said that they would divorce after the divorce agreement expired, and she had no intention of continuing this marriage.
The old man patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "It's normal for couples to not quarrel. Remember when your grandmother and I argued? It was so intense, it even got to the point of fighting."
Qin Zun was also reminded of the time when Grandma Qin was still alive by the old man's words. In Qin Zun's memory, Grandma Qin did quarrel with the old man many times.
There were several times when they were arguing, and Grandma Qin would pick up sticks at home and chase the old man to beat him, using whatever she could get her hands on. When the argument got the most intense, both sides were furious and even talked about getting a divorce.
However, after their anger subsided, they tacitly agreed not to mention divorce anymore.
Qin Zun hesitated and said, "So, clamoring for a divorce, was this just a fit of anger?"
"Oh, what's that? You've seen me and your grandma argue before. Didn't we even talk about divorce when we were arguing? Those were just angry words. I can only say that you're young and haven't experienced this, so you take what we said in the argument seriously."
Qin Zun was thinking about what the old man said.
The old man spoke again, "You're here just in time. I caught a lot of fish this time. Take them back and let my granddaughter-in-law try them. The fish this time are very different from the ones I've had before. I've never eaten this kind of fish before. After my granddaughter-in-law finishes eating, can you tell me how it tastes?"
"good."
Qin Zun had dinner with the old man at the old house and then left.
