Lu Shengye parked the car back at the military area, then rode his bicycle with Jiang Xuan to buy Li Ji snacks. He parked the car in the courtyard and then went to the family compound.
It was dinnertime, and Wang Yingqiu, heavily pregnant, was busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, she came out and saw the two of them. She smiled and said, "Xiao Ye and Jiang Xuan are here? Come in and sit down. Little sister and the children haven't come back yet. Your grandfather is at home."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, do you need any help?"
"No need, no need, please go and sit down."
Lu Tingting came out of the side room with a pen in her hand, and greeted them with a smile: "Brother, Sister Xuanxuan, you're here?"
Lu Shengye nodded.
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded.
Having not seen her for a while, Jiang Xuan noticed that Lu Tingting didn't look well, with very dark circles under her eyes.
According to Lu Xiaomei, she studies until very late every night.
In the main room, Lu Rongde was sitting on the bed, studying chess with a book on chess problem-solving.
This old man is becoming increasingly obsessed with chess.
The chessboard at home has never been put away; it's always set up some complicated chess positions, and whenever there's time, I'll refer to the book and make a few moves.
"Grandpa," the two called out.
Lu Rongde looked up, put down his book, and said with a smile, "You've arrived? Xuanxuan, I have something to tell you. Come, sit here with Grandpa."
Jiang Xuan walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "What is it, Grandpa?"
Lu Shengye poured a tub of water and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
“I ran into Director Li from the state-run store today. He can help you get a job as a sales clerk. It’ll be temporary at first, but if you perform well, you can become a permanent employee in six months. I know you’re selling egg pancakes, but that’s not a long-term solution. You still need to have a job.”
Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Lu Shengye, who was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper, said, "She doesn't need this right now."
Lu Rongde glared at him: "Why don't you need to? How can a young person not have a job? Besides, Xuanxuan is someone who can't sit still."
With a smile in his eyes, Lu Shengye took out the folded kraft paper envelope from his pocket. "Grandpa, take a look at this."
"What is this?" Lu Rongde pulled out the letter, then froze. "What is this?"
Lu Shengye laughed and said, "Grandpa, have you suddenly forgotten how to read? Shall I read it for you?"
Lu Shengye did not take the documents from Lu Rongde's hands.
He had already memorized the contents.
He announced loudly: "Ningzhou University documents"
Ningzhou University No.
Former student Jiang Xuan:
Following an investigation, the school has confirmed that Jiang Qiaoyun enrolled in Anxian No. 1 Middle School using your name without authorization. In accordance with relevant education policies and school regulations, it has been decided to reinstate your student status at the school. Please bring this notice to complete the necessary procedures.
Ningzhou University Admission Notice
serial number
Jiang Xuan:
With the approval of the Provincial Admissions Committee, you have been admitted to the Mathematics and Applied Mathematics major of the Department of Mathematics at Ningzhou University. Please bring this notice and report to the university between August 30th and September 1st.
Lu Rongde realized what had happened, and with tears welling up in his eyes, he grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand: "Child, this is wonderful, wonderful! Grandpa had no idea you had suffered such a great injustice."
"It's alright, Grandpa. Shengye handled everything for me."
"Okay, okay, is this Jiang Qiaoyun your uncle's daughter?"
Jiang Xuan nodded.
"Child, you've suffered so much, and you didn't say a word. I thought they treated you very well. I never imagined they would do something so absurd. Ono, when did you find out about this?"
"I knew it the first time I saw her."
"Why didn't you tell me, you brat?"
“Grandpa, we need to gather evidence for this kind of thing. I’m afraid something might happen if too many people know about it.”
Lu Rongde was so angry that his beard stood on end. "You brat, do you treat me like an outsider?"
Lu Shengye rarely laughed and joked, "No, it's just that Grandpa is getting old, and I'm afraid you might forget something and let it slip."
"You little rascal, when have I ever had a bad memory? I still remember clearly the time you wet the bed when you were three years old."
Lu Shengye: ...
His face flushed, and he quickly said, "Okay, Grandpa, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll play chess with you."
Lu Rongde: "And it wasn't just once."
Jiang Xuan laughed and said, "Really, Grandpa? Did Sheng Ye really wet the bed a lot when he was little?"
"Of course it's true, he not only wets the bed, he also cries."
Crying?
How could that be?
He never cried.
"Grandpa, I told you you have a bad memory. Look, you're starting to talk nonsense."
“How could I lie? It was when I was three years old, you probably don’t even remember, you and Xiaofeng had a contest to see who could pee the farthest, you lost, and then you just kept crying.”
Lu Shengye: ! !
That's enough!
Can we please stop talking?
His face, which had finally recovered, flushed red again.
Jiang Xuan was laughing so hard she almost choked.
Lu Shengye: ...
Jiang Xuan herself also felt it; every time Lu Shengye was in front of his grandfather, he was like a person with flesh and blood.
In front of others, he was more like a cold, impersonal machine.
At this moment, Lu Xiaomei returned with Dian Dian and Fan Xing.
The two little ones each had a piece of candy in their mouths and a bag of instant noodles in their hands.
"Daddy, Aunt Xuanxuan, do you want to eat instant noodles?" Knowing that her great-grandfather didn't eat them, Fanxing asked them in her childish voice.
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Yes, I want to."
Fanxing blinked her big eyes: "What about Daddy?"
Lu Shengye said softly, "I won't eat."
"Okay, then I'll eat with Aunt Xuanxuan."
Fanxing tried hard to tear open the packaging bag, but she couldn't.
