Qian Mao drove Qian Duoduo and Zhang Muyao to Yuanbao Village and skillfully parked the car in front of his uncle Jin Kuohao's house. The people inside came out curiously when they heard the car engine.
As soon as Aunt Yuanfang came out, she saw Qian Duoduo getting out of the car and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Oh my, my dear daughter, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Then she saw Qian Mao and Zhang Muyao getting out of the car, and her smile became even brighter. "Oh, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping so much this morning. Turns out, a distinguished guest is coming to our house!"
Qian Duoduo greeted Yuan Fang with a smile, and Zhang Muyao also greeted her aunt with grace and poise.
Yuanfang agreed and pulled Qian Duoduo and Zhang Muyao into the house with a happy smile on her face. As she walked, she said, "Come in, come in!" She invited the two of them to sit down inside.
Then, she turned to the house and called out, "Mom, come and see who's here!" Then, she turned to Qian Duoduo, Zhang Muyao, and Qian Mao, who came in later, and said, "Your grandma wasn't feeling well yesterday, so neither of us went to your wedding. We were thinking of going to visit you in the next couple of days, but we didn't expect you to come."
Yuanfang warmly invited Qian Duoduo and Zhang Muyao to sit down and poured them two cups of hot water.
Qian Duoduo asked with concern, "How's my grandma doing lately?"
Yuanfang smiled and looked at the old lady Jin who was walking out while leaning against the wall. He immediately stepped forward, supported her, and replied, "I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days. I've been feeling dizzy and have a headache."
Qian Duoduo immediately stepped forward, supporting the other side, and said, "Grandma, I heard you haven't been feeling well lately. I've been wanting to visit you, but something always gets in the way."
Qian Mao also went over, took Yuan Fang's hand, and helped Grandma Jin sit on the sofa. He also sat down next to her and said, "Grandma, you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital to get it checked out!"
Yuanfang said, "I told her I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she refused. You know, the family's financial situation isn't what it used to be, and she gets upset every time I mention it. I don't know what to do. She even scolded your uncle a couple of days ago. If she has two grandsons and is reluctant to leave them, she probably won't escape this fate either."
Qian Duoduo chuckled inwardly, then turned to Grandma Jin with concern and asked, "Grandma, you're not a child anymore, why are you still so disobedient?"
Yuanfang sighed helplessly, looked at the old lady Jin who had come to him for help with a wronged expression, turned his head to the side, and started talking to Zhang Muyao.
Seeing that Yuanfang was so unhelpful, Grandma Jin could only laugh and say to Qian Duoduo, "Ah, he's getting old, and his body is starting to have all sorts of problems, but they're not anything serious."
Upon hearing this, Yuanfang had to turn around and interject: "Last winter, the old lady was also feeling unwell for a while, so I took your grandmother to the hospital for a full checkup. The results showed that she had high blood pressure, and her condition was quite serious. She was prescribed medication, but she only takes it when she feels unwell, and stops taking it when she doesn't. The doctor said that her heart function is not as good as before, and she also needs to take medication long-term to control her condition. In addition, due to overwork when she was young, her body was severely depleted, and now all these problems have suddenly come to a head."
Qian Duoduo frowned and said worriedly, "Grandma, it's true that health problems are more likely to occur as you get older. The winters here are especially cold, and the elderly's bodies find it even harder to withstand such cold weather. Problems like high blood pressure and bronchitis often arise from this."
Yuanfang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, our parents' health deteriorates in winter. So we need to pay extra attention to their health and try to stay home as much as possible."
Grandma Jin smiled at Zhang Muyao and changed the subject, saying, "You're the third son's wife? You're so beautiful, fair-skinned and clean-cut, you look like you're well-educated."
Zhang Muyao walked over and shoved Qian Mao aside. This action made Grandma Jin's eyes light up. It seemed that this was the little girl who could keep this mischievous third son in check! She immediately said, "Third son's wife, you have to help Grandma. This third son and Duoduo are bullying me."
These words left Zhang Muyao a little confused. Wait, you're an elder, why do you act like you need my support? She glanced at Qian Mao beside her, as well as Qian Duoduo and her aunt who were watching the show, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Qian Mao smiled and put his arm around Zhang Muyao's shoulder, saying, "Grandma, when have Duoduo and I ever bullied you? Don't take advantage of your age to talk nonsense, or Duoduo will make you cry."
Grandma Jin glared at him, then took Qian Duoduo's hand and said, "Our Duoduo is a grown-up now. She can't be like she was when she was little, crying all the time."
Qian Duoduo: Grandma, I really will thank you. You don't need to mention this.
Looking at the old lady in front of her, Zhang Muyao immediately understood that the Qian family's relaxed family atmosphere was hereditary. She felt that this was more comfortable than her own family atmosphere in Tianjin.
After everyone had been talking for a while, Qian Duoduo stood up and said to Yuanfang, "I'll go get some water for my grandma." Yuanfang stood up and said, "I'll go." Qian Duoduo shook his head and said, "I'll go, to show my filial piety to my grandma and prevent her from complaining to everyone." After saying that, he left, and gave Grandma Jin a chuckle.
"You little brat, are you bullying my old woman again?" A deep voice rang out from the doorway.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw Old Man Jin walk in, chuckling as he flicked Qian Duoduo's forehead. Qian Duoduo's grimacing expression showed just how strong the old man's hand was.
Qian Duoduo covered her forehead and said to Old Man Jin with dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, you've been so cruel to me, I don't want to love you anymore."
Old Man Jin smiled and said, "No one can bully my old woman."
Qian Duoduo looked at Old Man Jin with a wronged expression and said, "Grandpa, how could you do this?"
Old Man Jin patted Qian Duoduo's head and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Grandpa was just joking with you, don't be angry." He then gently pinched Qian Duoduo's cheek.
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but laugh, and everyone laughed too. Qian Duoduo still angrily made a face at Old Man Jin, then went to Old Man Jin and Old Lady Jin's bedroom and took out the cup that the old couple used. She saw that it was the enamel mug she had bought from Su Ruanruan, with a cartoon image of an old man and an old woman printed on it. Even though the paint on it was chipped and broken, they were still using it.
Qian Duoduo took the tea mug to the kitchen, saw the thermos, and when no one was around, scraped off a little powder from the health-preserving pill and poured it into the thermos. Then she poured two cups of water, carried them to the main room, placed them beside the old couple, and sat down next to Yuanfang.
