Chapter 2388 It’s better to find a companion
I remember the first time I came to my grandmother's house, it was the season when grapes were ripe, and the crabapple trees were also full of small fruits. The sycamore tree in the middle of the courtyard blocked out a large area of sunlight.
Su Jiuyao and Gu Hanye sat on the stone bench in the yard, under the shade of a tree, and chatted with their grandmother for the whole morning.
That day, grandma also gave Gu Hanye a kind of traditional Chinese medicine to aid pregnancy, which was placed in a small porcelain bottle. However, she had not slept with Gu Hanye at that time, so the medicine in the small porcelain bottle was not used until a long time later.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Although she didn't visit her grandmother often in the past two years, during the holidays, Su Jiuyao would chat with her grandmother through video calls with Gu Hanye.
I also learned that my grandmother had been abroad for nearly a year, living in Vienna with Han Ye's aunt. While on vacation and visiting relatives, she also worked as a consultant for a local art gallery construction project.
My grandmother was a great architect, and her designs from her youth are still classics today.
Han Ye said that the reason he was interested in architecture was because of the influence of his grandmother.
At this time, the driver parked the car in the open space in front of the courtyard, and Gu Changhai, Gu Hanye and Su Jiuyao got out of the car.
There was another white SUV parked in the open space. Su Jiuyao said, "It seems that grandma has other visitors today."
Gu Hanye glanced at the license plate number and said with a smile, "It must be my aunt who is back. This is her car."
Gu Hanye’s aunt is Lin Ke, and she has been living abroad.
My aunt has a daughter, Shaohua, the intern nurse that Su Jiuyao had met in the hospital before.
Shaohua is a nonfiction writer who went to the hospital for internship to collect writing materials. When Su Jiuyao first met Shaohua, she made a mistake and mistook Shaohua for Gu Hanye's suitor...
As for Aunt Lin Ke, Su Jiuyao had only seen her in photos. She looked very young, and standing next to her daughter Shaohua, they looked like sisters.
My aunt is also pretty and looks particularly pretty when she smiles. Now that I think about it, she is about 70% similar to Han Ye’s mother.
Gu Hanye asked his father, "By the way, did my aunt tell you when she came back?"
Gu Changhai shook his head and said that the last time he contacted Han Ye's aunt was after Chen Xiaofeng was imprisoned. On the phone, he explained the real reason for Han Ye's mother's death.
Come to think of it, the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
As they were talking, the three of them arrived outside the house.
The door of the house was wide open. Gu Hanye called out "Grandma" and went straight in.
When they reached the yard, grandma came out of the house.
Grandma hasn't changed much and is still in good health. But Su Jiuyao didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Grandma came out of the house, her eyes were a little red, and when she saw Han Ye's father, she also showed a hint of melancholy.
Perhaps it was because Han Ye's father hadn't visited Han Ye's mother in years, and amidst her grandmother's sadness, there was probably also a layer of pity for her own daughter...
However, the melancholy was fleeting and soon replaced by a kind and amiable smile. He asked them if the journey was smooth and walked forward to greet them with a smile.
The weather was nice that day. There were some clouds in the sky, but the sun was shining and the wind was warm. After greeting everyone, grandma suggested that we sit on the stone bench in the yard.
Before sitting down, grandma considerately brought a cushion for Jiuyao.
Then grandma asked about their recent situation.
Grandma first asked about her son-in-law's recent health, then asked about her eldest grandson's work, and finally focused on Jiuyao, asking when her due date was and how her great-grandson was doing.
Jiuyao answered them one by one.
Gu Hanye smiled and asked his grandmother, "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, how do you know it's a great-grandson?"
Grandma also laughed and said that she could tell whether it was a boy or a girl just by looking at the shape of the belly, and she never made a mistake.
Gu Hanye asked his grandmother to share her experience so that when they have a baby in the future, they can make their own judgments.
But grandma refused to tell him, saying that it would be better to wait until they have another baby in the future. If they want to know in advance whether it is a boy or a girl, they can bring Yaoyao to the hospital and grandma will help them check it out herself.
"Okay, then I'll keep working hard." Gu Hanye agreed with a smile, and secretly squeezed Su Jiuyao's hand.
Su Jiuyao's face flushed and she glared at him.
She discovered that when it came to having a baby, this guy was more active than anything else.
After talking for a while, my father asked about Aunt Han Ye. He said he saw her car outside, but no one came out. Could she be still sleeping in?
Grandma smiled and said, "She went to the mountain early this morning to see her sister. She said she wouldn't be back at noon. There's a Taoist temple over there, and she wants to eat vegetarian food there."
Gu Hanye asked, "Does my aunt like to sleep in?"
My father said, "Before your mother and I got married, every time I went to your grandmother's house, your aunt would always sleep in."
Grandma also laughed and said, "Yes, when she was little she could sleep a lot, she would sleep ten hours a day. Her sister always joked with her, 'Xiao Ke, why bother to sleep in life, you will definitely sleep forever after death.' There's no point in saying it, she just sleeps a lot."
Speaking of Han Ye's mother, grandma sighed.
For a moment, everyone felt a little sad.
After a moment's silence, grandma asked them how many days they planned to stay before leaving.
Gu Hanye said that he planned to go to the mountain to visit his mother early tomorrow morning and then stay for three or four days. Spring is so short, so he should take advantage of the blooming mountain flowers to enjoy the spring scenery.
My father's plan was the same as theirs, but enjoying the spring scenery was not the main purpose of his trip. The main purpose was to move Han Ye's mother's ashes to the Gu family's ancestral tomb.
However, I still want to discuss this matter with Grandma Han Ye before making a decision.
My grandmother is very understanding and doesn't care much about what happens after a person's death, so she doesn't have too many opinions and just lets him do what he wants.
After chatting for a while, grandma went to prepare lunch.
Han Ye and Jiuyao continued to stay in the yard, admiring the flowers and basking in the sun.
Han Ye's father went to help his grandmother.
As soon as her father and grandmother left, Su Jiuyao couldn't help but ask Gu Hanye why he wanted to move her mother's ashes. Wasn't that mountain the place where she and her father met?
Gu Hanye sighed and said, "I used to think so, but it's not true..."
Gu Hanye briefly explained the situation to her, and Su Jiuyao then realized that it was all a misunderstanding.
When my mother died, my father still thought that the only person she had ever loved was Xiao Chongyang, and that mountain was where she and Xiao Chongyang had traveled together.
The father felt guilty about his mother's death and decided to bury her in the place where he and his lover had shared memories.
At that time, his father also mistakenly believed that Han Ye was not his biological son, but Xiao Chongyang's child. So when Han Ye asked his father why he buried his mother here, his father replied that it was because this was where A Ye's parents had fond memories.
Gu Hanye didn't know that the "Dad" his father was referring to was someone else, which led to the misunderstanding for many years.
Later, the father did a paternity test and knew that Gu Hanye was his biological son, but he still mistakenly believed that Hanye's mother and Xiao Chongyang had committed adultery during their marriage, so the grave was not moved back.
My father has always been reluctant to visit the grave because of guilt and an unbearable jealousy.
Now that the truth is out, my father decided to move Han Ye's mother's grave back.
After listening to this, Su Jiuyao couldn't help but sigh. While she felt sorry for Han Ye's mother, she could also understand the pain in Han Ye's father's heart.
Gu Hanye shook her hand and said, "It's all in the past. The most important thing is life in the future. If possible, I hope Dad can let go of the past and look forward to it. It would be best if he could find a companion."
"You don't mind?"
"As long as it's not like Tianqi's mother, I don't care."
