Chapter 250 Has Great-Grandfather Forgot Me?
"Girl, how long has it been since you last came to see us? I miss you and Chenchen so much."
Mrs. Shen complained, but her wrinkled hands held her granddaughter's tightly. She wore a navy blue cardigan, and although she was already eighty years old, her silver hair was still meticulously combed.
Mr. Shen, who was standing beside him, was in high spirits, his back straight, and he said with a smile:
"Isn't it? Your grandma has been nagging about it since the afternoon and has been busy making the osmanthus cake that you and Chenchen love the most."
"How dare you say that to me? I don't know who it was, but knowing Yanyan was coming back today, Lao Zhang asked you to go fishing but you didn't go. You just kept waiting at home."
Mr. Shen was not angry when he was exposed, but stroked his beard proudly:
"That is, is my granddaughter coming back? I will definitely wait for her at home."
"Has Grandfather forgotten me?"
Chenchen said as he nimbly jumped out of the car. He was wearing a navy blue sweatshirt that made his face look especially fair.
When Mr. Shen saw Chenchen, his eyes suddenly smiled into two crescent moons:
"Oh, my little Chenchen! Come here quickly and let great-grandfather take a good look!"
As Mr. Shen spoke, he squatted down and wanted to pick up Chenchen.
Unexpectedly, Chenchen turned around and rushed straight towards Mrs. Shen, hugging the old lady's legs like a little koala.
Old Mrs. Shen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She gently stroked Chenchen's soft hair:
"Old man, did you see that? Our Chenchen is still the closest to me."
As Mrs. Shen spoke, she touched Chenchen's head with a doting look on her face.
"Well, you little brat, it's been so long since we last met, and you're not getting close to me! You little heartless one!"
Mr. Shen immediately puffed up his cheeks like an old child, turned his back deliberately, and ignored the three of them.
Seeing this, Chenchen quickly ran over and gently tugged at the old man's clothes with his little hand:
"Don't be angry, Great Grandpa! I'm just worried you'll get tired. Look how much taller I've grown. Mommy says I'm so heavy now that she can hardly hold me."
Chenchen was gesturing as he spoke, and only then did Mr. Shen take a closer look at the little guy.
Indeed, compared to the last time we met, Chenchen had grown taller and his face was rounder, but he refused to admit defeat:
"Can your mother and I compare? Humph! My great-grandfather used to carry a mortar weighing over 100 kilograms on the battlefield! What's your tiny body like?"
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but teased, "Come on! That was so many years ago. Now it's hard for you to even carry a bag of rice."
After hearing what Old Lady Shen said, Old Man Shen was suddenly speechless. He had been an officer for half his life, and anyone who saw him would be frightened by his aura. Only Old Lady Shen was not afraid of him and dared to say anything.
Chenchen, however, became interested, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Grandpa, what does the mortar you're talking about look like? Is it the same as the one in the TV show?"
"What we used back then has long been obsolete! The equipment we have now is much more advanced..."
Mr. Shen suddenly became energetic and straightened his back unconsciously.
"Can you tell me some stories about the war?" Chenchen pulled the old man's hand and shook it gently.
"Okay, okay, come inside and I'll tell you slowly!"
Looking at the happy appearance of the old and the young, Mu Nanyan and Old Mrs. Shen smiled at each other.
At this moment, Xu Wenxin came out of the house:
"Yanyan is back! Why are you standing in the yard? Come inside and eat!"
"Aunt."
"Grandma."
Mu Nanyan and Chenchen both greeted Xu Wenxin. Mu Nanyan was about to follow him into the house when she suddenly remembered something. She looked at Mr. Shen and said,
"Grandpa, you and grandma go in first. I'm going to get some things from the car and will be in soon."
Mu Nanyan said this and winked at Xu Wenxin.
After the two old men entered the house, Xu Wenxin asked curiously:
"What do you want? Do you need help?"
Mu Nanyan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I really need my aunt's help. There's a pretty big potted plant."
Chenchen immediately jumped over and looked at Mu Nanyan: "I want to help too!"
"Then take these two small bags."
Mu Nanyan held back her laughter as she handed him two light gift boxes. The little guy took them solemnly, as if holding some treasure, and ran into the house.
Xu Wenxin looked at the trunk full of exquisite gift boxes and immediately frowned:
"Yan Yan, what's wrong with you? How can you go back to your own house to eat and buy things?"
"I didn't buy anything, I just wanted to buy you some gifts, aunt, please don't be unhappy, otherwise I won't dare to buy you anything next time."
Xu Wenxin restrained her expression after hearing this. She also knew that this was Mu Nanyan's kindness and she didn't want to offend Mu Nanyan.
"Forget it this time, but don't do this next time. I just asked you to come back for a meal, and you spent so much money."
"I know, aunt, you are the best."
Xu Wenxin was also easily influenced. She couldn't resist once Mu Nanyan said something nice. Moreover, she treated Mu Nanyan as her own daughter and couldn't bear to be mean to her.
Finally, Mu Nanyan handed two small bags to Chenchen and asked him to carry them, just for show. The bags were basically weightless, so he could get a feel for them.
Chenchen got the bag and ran into the house.
Then Mu Nanyan handed the other bags to Xu Wenxin, and finally Mu Nanyan carried the potted plants in her own hands and moved them into the small building.
Seeing that he was struggling to lift it, Xu Wenxin asked, "Is it heavy? How about I help you carry it?"
Xu Wenxin was about to reach out to help, but Mu Nanyan moved aside a little and said with a smile, "No, aunt, it's not very heavy, I can do it myself."
"Okay."
As Xu Wenxin was talking, she finally noticed what was in the potted plant that Mu Nanyan was holding. Although she also liked flowers before, she didn't know the varieties of flowers. However, after staying with Old Lady Shen for a long time, she also had some understanding of flowers. She looked at the flowers and said in surprise:
"Is this Wei Zi? It's autumn now and it's still blooming. It's really rare."
Mu Nanyan glanced at Mudan and said with a smile:
"Yes, this is Wei Zi. I fell in love with it at first sight when I went to the flower and bird market today. It is really rare. The boss also said that it is difficult to maintain it. When the time comes, I can only rely on my grandmother. I don't know much about it either."
"Mom loves making these things. She would definitely be happy if she saw this."
The two of them walked into the living room chatting and laughing, and saw Chenchen hanging on Shen Changfeng like a little monkey.
Shen Changfeng was throwing the little guy high up in the air, making Chenchen giggle.
"Uncle, I want to play more!"
Shen Changfeng noticed the movement at the door and saw Mu Nanyan carrying a pot of flowers alone, and put Chenchen down:
"I'll play with you later."
As Shen Changfeng spoke, he came to Mu Nanyan and took the pot of flowers.
