"Grandma Li, you're here!"
Gu Shiyi selected some dishes, and when he saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and walked over to him in a friendly manner.
Li Zhengxiang lovingly pulled Gu Shiyi's hand over and patted it: "My child, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You've grown up so much! You're so handsome!"
Old Master Ke came over, looking casual, and took the things Li Zhengxiang brought from her. When he opened the bag, he was surprised.
"Acacia cake?"
Li Zhengxiang rolled her eyes at Ke Wei and said, "I didn't know the two kids were here, so I didn't make much. Don't eat it, give it to the kids! If you want to eat more, I'll make it for you later!"
Lin Yi and Gu Shiyi looked at this scene, glanced at each other, and understood.
Perhaps it was only after she finished saying these words that she realized that what she said was a little inappropriate. Li Zhengxiang didn't mean it, and regardless of Lin Yi and Gu Shiyi's attempts to keep her, she left in a hurry, leaving behind the locust flower cake. Her steps were hurried, and she was far from being as calm and composed as when she came.
Lin Yi watched the person walk away and asked sideways.
"Shi Yi, who is this Grandma Li?"
"Her name was Li Zhengxiang. She was a very good-tempered person. I remember her always smiling. She looked after me quite a lot when I was little. But she died young. Her husband passed away early, and her only son and daughter-in-law left to work far away. We never see her again. I don't know whether she's dead or alive."
"Oh, by the way, Grandma Li has a grandson. I think he's studying at a university in Beijing now. I remember when he was admitted to university, the village held a fundraising event to help raise tuition for him, but Grandma Li declined all of them. She said she didn't want to worry the villagers. She saved some money these days, which is enough for her grandson's tuition for the time being."
"As for future tuition, she will find a way. Her grandson is not young anymore and can work part-time to support himself. There is no reason for her to ask the villagers to pay for it."
Lin Yi nodded: "She is a very strong-willed old woman. Her grandson is studying at a university in Beijing. Do you know which school it is?"
Gu Shiyi shook his head: "I don't know the details, but her grandson is called Yang Ziang, and he's over 20 years old. I think he's three or four years older than me, but I heard he rarely comes here after he got into college."
"Anyway, I don't have much impression of this Yang Ziang. It was Grandma Li who worked so hard to support him so that he could get into university, but now he doesn't even come to visit the old lady. He's so heartless! I don't believe he's so busy that he can't even come and stay with his wife for a few days."
Lin Yi sighed.
"Grandma Li has had a difficult life, but she's still so optimistic and open-minded. I admire her."
"Yeah! This is also why I like Grandma Li. No matter what happens, she can't be defeated. She never complains and always treats people the same way she did before!"
Lin Yi nodded, scratched the tip of Gu Shiyi's nose, and said with a doting smile: "Don't you see anything different?"
Gu Shiyi touched her nose, glared at Lin Yi with an angry smile.
"You're just smart, aren't you? To be honest, when I came here before, Grandma Li wasn't around very often, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But when I saw her and Grandpa today... hehe, it's something to behold!"
Lin Yi smiled: "You don't object?"
Gu Shiyi rolled her eyes at him. "Am I that ignorant? Grandpa has his own feelings, and it's not my turn to point fingers. Besides, Grandma Li is a person who knows me well. If she really gets together with Grandpa, I will feel much more at ease."
Lin Yi smiled but said nothing.
Gu Shiyi opened up, chattering non-stop: "My grandmother passed away early. It's not easy for so many grandpas to be alone. They were sick from the war when they were young. I believe my parents wouldn't object if I could have a companion in my old age."
"No wonder Grandpa refused to live in the city when I asked him to. Now that he's here, he's really stupid. Is this thing so hard to say? We are family!"
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Shi Yi, you have to understand that as an old soldier, Grandpa is a bit strict and rigid in his approach. This may not seem like a big deal to us young people, but from his perspective, it may be a big deal that is difficult to talk about. Perhaps we, the younger generation, need to give him a push."
