Chapter 143: Little Country Girl Blooms Everywhere in the Era 39
"Well, is it to your taste?"
Haitang raised her eyes and smiled, "Yeah, it's delicious, thank you grandpa."
The word "grandpa" directly broke the old man's heart.
"If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, ask for more. Just tell me what you want to eat."
"That's enough. I don't eat much for breakfast."
Grandpa Murong tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that were raised, and began to follow the procedure seriously, "What do you want, little girl?"
"I am Xia Haitang."
"Oh, Haitang, that's a nice name. I heard you and our Achen are classmates?"
Haitang wanted to laugh. You've heard everything, but you still don't know what to say to me?
"Yes, we are from the same school."
"I see. You are also studying in a military academy. Are your parents also in the national army?"
Haitang nodded seriously, "I heard that my father is also in the army, his name is Xia Jianguo."
Grandpa Murong frowned, feeling strange, "I heard?"
Haitang was very frank, "Well, I didn't grow up with my parents, and I just returned to Beijing not long ago, so I don't know much about it, and they didn't tell me."
Grandpa Murong thought about the questions his grandson asked him, synthesized them, and came up with his own set of answers...
The girl in front of me has had a hard life. It seems that she was left in the countryside and grew up in poverty. Although she doesn't look like a village kid, she has suffered a lot.
It's good to have suffered. Children who have endured hardships are the pride of our party...
Grandpa Murong is actually a very gentle person. He changed the subject very tactfully. "I heard from our Ah Chen that you have very good grades in school. You must have worked very hard, right? Are you tired from studying?"
Haitang drank a sip of milk, looked up at him seriously, "I have never been to school before, and I have always been eager to learn knowledge, so it is not tiring for me, I like it very much."
"You mean, you just started reading?"
"Well, I've been studying outside of class for more than two months, and I've just started formal school."
Grandpa Murong raised his eyebrows and became even more satisfied. This girl is smart, but his grandson is stupid. If this girl marries into the family, it will improve her genes.
Grandpa Murong wanted to ask a few more questions when Murong Chen came down and quickly sat in the seat in front of Haitang, blocking Grandpa's sight.
"Haitang, my grandpa wasn't mean to you, was he?"
Grandpa Murong's eyelids twitched when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? Is Grandpa that kind of person?"
Murong Chen ignored him and looked at Haitang eagerly.
"No, Grandpa is fine."
Murong Chen breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and then he gave his grandfather an appreciative look.
The old butler brought up another breakfast.
Murong Chen picked up the bowl and started drinking from it, wanting to eat as fast as Shanghai Tang.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
"Grandpa, I'll bring Haitang to our house to play for a while."
Haitang paused...
Play something? What to play? What's fun? Play with grandpa?
Murong Chen seemed to understand her look. He smiled at her with his mouth puffed out, and swallowed the porridge in a hurry. "Our house is very beautiful. There is a big garden in the back. It's full of flowers planted by my grandfather. Take a look and see if there are any you like. I'll pick them for you.
Grandpa Murong's eyes gradually widened, but he didn't dare to interrupt and refuse...
"Also, there is a stable behind us. My grandfather has several big and beautiful horses. Take a look and see if you like them. If you do, I will give them to you."
Grandpa Murong couldn't help it now, "Xiao Chen, you should take Haitang to see the flowers. The stable smells bad, and my horses are wild. It would be bad if they hurt Haitang."
"Oh, no, I can hold it."
Grandpa Murong: "......"
"Student Murong, it seems we still have to go to school for classes."
"We can't go later."
"Skipping classes is not a good habit."
Grandpa Murong nodded quickly and said, "Look at Haitang, how well behaved she is."
Murong Chen finished the last mouthful of porridge, stuffed another steamed dumpling into his mouth, nodded at Haitang, and replied vaguely, "All up to you."
Grandpa Murong felt that the two people in front of him looked more and more like a good match. Not bad, he would find some time to call Deputy Brigade Commander Xia to have a chat.
Haitang didn't even think about it, but in just a moment, both the grandfather and grandson were thinking about her.
