When Su Ruisheng and his family of three arrived at the Tang family home, they were warmly received by Old Master Tang.
However, upon hearing that Su Ruisheng's clothes were a gift from Nan Qu, her eyes turned piercing.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not the New Year, so we need to buy new clothes for the family. I didn't even know you before that. If you're going to blame someone, blame your son for not telling me."
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Tang didn't blame Su Ruoyan, but glared at Tang Yulin: "At least other people know to buy clothes for their elders during the New Year, but I haven't even worn a single piece of clothing from you."
Tang Yulin, carrying a pot on his back, was speechless: "What are you saying? I remember you didn't say that when my parents bought you clothes before. You said the army issued uniforms and we shouldn't waste money."
Grandpa Tang glared at Tang Yulin again: "That's what I told them, not you. Why don't you buy it?"
"Hey, okay, should I buy it for you this afternoon, or next year?"
Grandpa Tang waved his hand: "Sigh, forget it. I'm old, and I don't even know if I'll have a next year. Your empty promises are meaningless."
Nan Qu was helpless. If she didn't know this old man, she might have been fooled by his pitiful appearance.
"Don't play the victim here. When it's spring and I'm making clothes for my parents, I'll remember your kindness. Is that alright?"
Sure enough, the old man was immediately delighted: "Then I'll take two! You can give me one more."
Tang Yulin was speechless. So, I'm the stepping stone to your success?
Nan Qu nodded: "Okay, two items. It's getting late, Ruoyan and I will go cook, you can stay here and chat with everyone for a while?"
Grandpa Tang waved his hand: "Go on, go on."
Nan Qu went to see Guard Zhou to confirm that the old man was not allergic to any food, and then went to the kitchen with Su Ruoyan.
Lin Yaqing offered to help, but Nan Qu pushed her away: "Mom has been busy all year, she should go out and rest. It's fine if we're not here, but how can we let you do anything when we're at home?"
Lin Yaqing felt a warmth in her heart; her daughter was indeed the most considerate.
She herself is not blessed; she gave birth to three sons and now has two grandsons. It seems she can only enjoy the blessings of her daughters-in-law.
Speaking of her daughter-in-law, Lin Yaqing thought of the girlfriend her eldest son brought home, and she felt even more heartbroken.
She felt that God couldn't bear to see her doing well, and seeing that she had a daughter-in-law who knew how to care for others, He deliberately created this to bring peace to her.
Lin Yaqing sighed. What could she do if her eldest son really made up his mind? At worst, she could just let them live their own lives and not get in her way.
Nan Qu doesn't believe that men can't cook, and Su Ruoyan isn't a chauvinist either.
Unless there was something Su Ruoyan had to do, he was the one who cooked most of the time at home, even though both he and the children loved Nan Qu's cooking.
After dinner, Grandpa Tang finally fell asleep, feeling quite tired.
Tang Yulin changed his previous dissolute ways and specifically sought out Nan Qu to inquire about the old man's health.
Given the old man's current condition, ordinary medicine can no longer cure him. To prolong his life, we need to use some special methods.
"The old man is doing quite well now. I'll send over some better quality tea after the New Year so he can drink tea every day. But you should also be prepared for the old man's condition. After all, he's getting old."
Tang Yulin covered his face to compose himself. Although Nan Qu had said that the treatment after Qu Qi was problematic, which led to his grandfather's current condition, his grandfather was not wrong. His grandfather was able to survive entirely thanks to Qu Qi's help.
It's already a stroke of luck that he's alive, and that he was able to meet Nan Qu at this time, allowing him to spend his final days peacefully and smoothly—that's already very good. He really can't ask for anything more.
"Actually, to make things a little safer for the old man, he could wear a protective jade pendant. However, besides our family, Old Li and his group are interested in the remaining few jade pendants, and I'm not sure if my father has already given them away."
As soon as Nan Qu finished speaking, Su Ruisheng hurriedly said, "No, no, there are two more here. Originally, your mother and I discussed whether to give the jade pendants as gifts for the year, but we were worried that it would be inappropriate, and we couldn't make up our minds for a while."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yulin replied naturally, "Brother Su, what are you saying? The old man treats Xiao Sanzi's family like his own. When we visit each other as a family, there's nothing that's appropriate or inappropriate. The old man requires Xiao Sanzi's wife to send a copy of everything she sends to you. If he knew there was something hidden here, he definitely wouldn't be happy."
Nan Qu's lips twitched. This person was indeed Old Master Tang's grandson; his shamelessness was inherited from his father.
Su Ruisheng, however, was quite pleased: "Well, in that case, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give this jade pendant to the old man."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaqing quickly took out an exquisite box from her bag.
Tang Yulin originally thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant or something, but he didn't expect that just from the box, he could tell that this thing was probably no ordinary item.
Before he opened the box, Nanqu hurriedly said, "Uncle Tang, you may open it, but remember not to touch the jade pendant. The jade pendant recognizes its owner; whoever touches it first will be protected by it."
Tang Yulin glanced at Nan Qu. Although he thought the words were a bit of nonsense, it still concerned his grandfather, so he decided not to touch it. However, being too curious, he still opened it and took a closer look.
Unexpectedly, once he opened it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
If Tang Yulin hadn't had such a strong will, he probably would have already touched the jade pendant.
He quickly closed the box. Then his smile widened even more.
"Brother Su, this jade pendant is truly a wonderful thing. From what you just said, do you mean that all of our family members have one?"
Nan Qu covered her face, while Su Ruoyan's lips twitched.
Only Su Ruisheng seemed a little slow to react: "Ah, right, Xiao Qu gave each of us a dollar back then, not just me and my wife. Our eldest and second eldest also got one."
"What about mine?"
Su Ruisheng was dumbfounded.
Even Lin Yaqing, who was standing to the side, twitched her lips slightly.
The only one who didn't react was probably Su Ruoli, who had just started calculating something in her mind.
Tang Yulin remained calm: "Brother Su already said that our family has them all. My grandfather is family, and it's one thing for the rest of the Tang family. But I was raised by my grandfather, so I'm family too, right? So why does everyone else have them, but I'm the only one excluded? Did you kick me out of the house?"
How could someone say something like that? Doesn't this person have any shame at all?
However, Nan Qu never expected that this was not even the bottom line of shamelessness.
