The unreliable mother Jiang Jiangyu does not think that she has failed in her motherly duties. She is following behind Mr. Lin and pointing at the shelf in the bedroom.
"Dad, this is an antique shelf, right? I heard it's used to store antiques to make it look classy. It's a pity that my wife and I don't have much money, so we've let our children down."
Old Master Lin glanced at her. His intentions were too obvious. He refused to answer and continued to look from room to room.
Jiang Jiangyu didn't care. She didn't believe that if she talked too much, the old man would not listen. That was his eldest grandson. She wouldn't move to her mother's house. Besides, her parents wouldn't want him even if she did.
"Dad, look at this wooden bed. I heard it's a gilded bed frame. In the past, only the nobles could have it. It's a pity it's not a complete set. It would be so grand if we had a complete set for the children."
Old Master Lin couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at the four sticks sticking up from the wooden bed and said, "Do you understand what kind of wood this is made of? Don't listen to my nonsense. Even a rough guy like me can tell that this is just an ordinary bed."
Jiang Jiangyu nodded. "Dad, if you call me a boor, that would make people laugh. Why don't we just give it up? If someone sees this, it will be a joke."
Lin Aiguo looked at the old man speechlessly, standing there unwilling to move. He just hoped that his sensible nephew would quickly take this idiot away.
As for his younger brother, he had already given up hope and didn't know what he was laughing at. No wonder he spoiled his wife so much that she loved to make trouble.
Lin Aiguo now just wanted to go back and ask his wife if his daughter had been swapped with the second son's child. Why did he increasingly feel that his daughter looked like his younger siblings?
"Dad, look at this soft cushion, isn't it the same as the one my mom has? It's a pity this one doesn't have any fragrance. I can't buy it even if I want to."
Mr. Lin replied to her: "That one can be exchanged for your entire yard."
Jiang Jiangyu was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, he ran out of the room and followed the old man closely. "Dad, are all scented woods valuable?"
Mr. Lin walked away without looking back, "Ask the second son, he knows."
Jiang Jiangyu still followed him and said, "Okay, I'll take you for a good stroll first."
Mr. Lin wanted to say, "Go and do your own thing. I don't need you to accompany me." But then he thought about his eldest son and decided not to embarrass his second son.
Next, from the east wing to the west wing, Jiang Jiangyu was not satisfied with everything and wanted to change everything. At the critical moment, Grandpa Lin could no longer tolerate it and really didn't need to endure it anymore.
Lin Dingsheng came out with a smile to save the situation.
As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Master, you must be exhausted. Let's go back first and look at it later when we have time. Anyway, this is our house, you can come over whenever you want."
Seeing his smiling grandson, Mr. Lin felt much more relaxed. He looked at the sky outside, smiled, and nodded. It was indeed getting late.
On the way back in the car, Mr. Lin looked at the night outside and some young people passing by hurriedly on the street. Finally, he remembered that he still had a grandson.
He turned his head and glanced at his eldest son. "Xiaohui is about to graduate, right? Where do you plan to send him? The child is already grown up, and it will take a long time for him to get a house after he gets married. Isn't it time for you to buy a small courtyard too?"
Lin Aiguo nodded when he heard this and said, "I'll consider it."
"Compared to other children, it's too late for our children to start families. Xiaohui, you should find a good wife for him as soon as possible. Time flies."
Lin Aiguo listened to the old man's words, looking out the window, lost in thought for a moment. Time was merciless, and he was about to become a grandfather.
The father and his two sons fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, Mr. Lin said, "After dinner at home, come sit with your mother."
Lin Lao Er, standing aside, looked at his eldest brother, his expression hesitant to speak, then turned his head to look out the window. He had wanted to talk to his eldest brother about what the old man said that day, but then someone came in and interrupted him, and then he suddenly couldn't speak.
At this moment, what’s the point of spending more time with me?
The guard driving the car, sensing the heavy atmosphere inside, was secretly shocked. This family really loves looking out the window, maybe it's hereditary.
He finally drove the car to the retirement home. Looking at the tree-lined road and the occasional elderly comrades enjoying the cool breeze on both sides, he suddenly didn't envy these high-ranking officials. No matter how hard their lives were, the villagers were healthy and comfortable.
Lin Aiguo looked around, frowned, and looked at the old man walking towards the living room with his hands behind his back. He hesitated for a moment and quickened his pace.
"Dad, if you like the retirement home, then retire from the compound."
Old Master Lin turned his head and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Did someone say something in front of you? I'm not feeling well, can't I stay here and recuperate?"
Lin Aiguo shook his head and said solemnly, "Who would be so foolish as to say that? As soon as the new compound is built, most people will move there, and retired comrades will definitely be resettled elsewhere. It's better to take the initiative than to wait for others to ask."
Mr. Lin frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "I know what's going on."
Seeing this, Lin Aiguo didn't say anything more and went to the old lady's door and knocked.
"It's not convenient now. Let's go in later."
Hearing the aunt's response inside, he knew that it was time to change the old lady's clothes, so he went back to the living room and sat down.
Meanwhile, Lin Aidang was discussing the return date with his father. As the holiday was drawing to a close, they were also about to depart, but the outcome was uncertain.
"You can leave when the term expires. What are your plans for what I told you last time? Do you want to be discharged from the army?"
Lin Aidang shook his head. "I still prefer to stay in the army. What kind of job can I find after I retire? I'd better wait a little longer. The Shengli brothers can be transferred back."
"Your father-in-law and I have contacted many people, but there's no chance of them being transferred back right now. If you want to stay there, that's fine, but don't forget to supervise their academic studies. It would be even better if they could get into a military academy."
Lin Aidang smiled and shook his head. "Except for Xiaohui, no one in our family can study. He takes after my eldest sister-in-law."
"You little brat."
"There's nothing I can do about it. When the kids were studying, I used a belt to beat them all. It's not that they weren't serious, it's that they simply didn't have the talent."
Mr. Lin scolded, “Alright, do you think this is an honorable thing?”
After saying that, she glared at him. She secretly resented the fact that this child had married the daughter of the Jiang family, even though her husband had objected so much in the beginning. Alas... children are debts, debts that can never be repaid.
The old lady's door was opened, and the aunt came out with a basin of dirty clothes and said to the old man, "Chief, I'll be ready to serve dinner as soon as I'm done here. It will be ready soon."
The old man nodded and said gently, "Okay, take your time, there's no rush."
Lin Aiguo watched the sweaty aunt go in and out to change the water. When she came into the house, he whispered to the old man, "Dad, hire another nanny."
Mr. Lin nodded, stood up and walked towards the study, "I'm going to lie down for a while, call me after dinner."
Seeing him leave, Lin Aiguo also came to the yard, stood there, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs. He glanced at his younger brother who had followed him out, then looked up at the sky.
