Chapter 310 Returning to My Mother's Home on the Second Day of the Lunar New Year
There are guests coming, we have to quickly ask the old man to come downstairs.
Not only Aunt Zhang, but other family members also found it very strange. Why would someone come to visit on the second day of the first lunar month?
Upstairs, Mr. Jiang, who had received the news, was about to go downstairs in a hurry.
Xiao Hu, who was supporting Old Man Jiang as he hurried down the stairs, looked at the family of four and smiled so hard that his big teeth were exposed.
Wow, this is the old leader’s granddaughter. It seems he knew this secret before others!
"Old Chief, please walk slowly. People are here and they won't run away."
This was not the first time that Mr. Jiang met Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen, but he was particularly excited today.
The situation is better now, especially a few months ago, the people who were targeting the Lu and Jiang families also fell, and there is basically no risk for the two families.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Lu have discussed it and decided that there is no need to hide it anymore.
After today, the news that he has found his granddaughter will spread soon.
I will officially announce this good news after some time.
The driver, secretary and Aunt Zhang were all confused when they saw Xiao Hu rushing towards Lu Liangchen and Jiang Haitang with a servile look on his face.
Could it be that these are the important guests today?
"Haitang, you're here. Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time. Come inside quickly. Hey, little Taozi, my dear baby, come here, show grandpa."
Old Master Jiang was busy greeting Jiang Haitang and waving at Xiao Taozi, and was very busy.
Mr. Jiang's unusual enthusiasm and the words "my dear" and "Grandpa"
This made the people standing by even more confused. They thought of something but didn't dare to believe it.
Several people looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and realization.
Could it be that the old leader found his granddaughter?
Is Jiang Haitang, the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family, the old leader’s granddaughter?
Didn’t they say that the wife of the third grandson of the Lu family is a girl from the northwest?
Wait, the old leader’s son and daughter-in-law died in the northwest!
Guard Xiao Hu was making faces at the side, with a smug expression as if to say, "I knew that a long time ago."
Old Master Jiang had no time to care about other people. At this moment, all his attention was focused on Jiang Haitang and her mother and son. Even Lu Liangchen who was standing beside him was ignored.
He carefully wanted to take the little orange from Lu Liangchen's hand, but was afraid that his hand was too heavy. He wanted to take it but didn't dare to use force, and looked a little stiff.
"Grandpa, please hold the baby while you sit. The kid is much heavier now." Lu Liangchen said considerately, carefully handing the swaddle to Grandpa Jiang who was already sitting on the sofa.
Old Master Jiang held his great-grandson stiffly but tenderly, looking at the little guy's rosy, chubby face. His big black eyes, which looked exactly like Jiang Haitang's, were looking at him curiously.
Although I see him almost every day, today is different. Looking at him today, this little guy is even more adorable.
The little guy was blowing bubbles and playing in Old Man Jiang's arms. Old Man Jiang felt his heart melt just watching him, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist again.
This day has finally come.
"Good, good boy..." His voice was a little choked, and he quickly lowered his head to hide it.
Little Taozi had already climbed onto the sofa next to Grandpa Jiang, snuggled up to him, and started chatting in a baby voice.
"Grandpa, Little Orange is so well behaved, but sometimes he cries very loudly!"
The child's innocent words dispelled the sadness. Old Mr. Jiang burst into laughter and used his free hand to hug Xiao Taozi.
"Really? Then our little Peach must be the more obedient one!"
Aunt Zhang was the first to react and hurried forward to pour tea with a sincere smile on her face.
She had worked for the Jiang family for many years, and had watched the old leader lose more and more desire to live. It was only in the past one or two years that things started to get better...
Yes, Jiang Haitang came to Beijing two years ago, he should have recognized her then!
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang immediately came forward with tea.
"Commander, this is such a great joy! Congratulations, Commander, and congratulations to Comrade Haitang! I'll go get a few more dishes." She was a smart person and immediately changed the address to appear more approachable.
With Aunt Zhang taking the lead, others also rushed forward to congratulate them.
Old Master Jiang smiled brilliantly, and in a very happy mood, he said loudly, "God has been very kind to me! I was able to find my granddaughter at the end of my life, and I also have such lovely great-grandchildren! Xiao Liu, bring me the red envelope I prepared!"
Secretary Xiao Liu immediately took out several thick red envelopes that had been prepared in advance from the study.
Old Master Jiang first gave one to Xiao Taozi and Xiao Chengzi, and then took out a much thicker red envelope and stuffed it into Jiang Haitang's hand.
"Grandpa, didn't you give it to me?" Jiang Haitang said to Grandpa Jiang.
"That's different. That was given to me when I was at the Lu family, and this is given to me when you returned to your mother's home. You will get it every year from now on!" The old man looked at his granddaughter with eyes full of love.
At his age, he only has this one relative, and in the future all these will belong to his granddaughter.
Jiang Haitang couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
Lu Liangchen laughed and said, "Grandpa, you are so partial. Haitang and I are a couple, where is mine?"
Old Master Jiang glared at him and scolded him with a smile, "You kid, do you still need this little red envelope from me? Treating my granddaughter and great-grandchildren well is better than any red envelope!"
Having said that, he still gestured to Xiao Liu to hand Lu Liangchen a red envelope as well, but it was obviously not as thick as the one given to Jiang Haitang.
The whole family laughed.
While chatting and laughing, Aunt Zhang had already added two more dishes with swift hands and feet.
I also specially steamed a bowl of egg custard suitable for children.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and lively.
Old Master Jiang kept picking up food for Jiang Haitang and Xiao Taozi, cared about Jiang Haitang's work and life, and asked about her next plans.
After lunch, Mr. Jiang was eager to show Jiang Haitang around his home.
"Haitang, this will be your home from now on! Grandpa has already cleaned up the largest room on the east side of the second floor that faces the sun for you. When you come back with the child, you can live there."
The old man pointed upstairs and talked incessantly.
"We've replaced all the furniture inside, and bought new curtains and bedsheets. We've also had Aunt Zhang wash and air-dry them... And the room next door is for Xiao Taozi. In the future, we'll have one for Xiao Chengzi as well. If you need anything else, just let me know."
Although he knew that it was unlikely that his granddaughter would come to live here, Grandpa Jiang still had someone prepare a room early in the morning.
The Lu family's house is a three-story building, and the Jiang family's house is a two-story building, but there is only Old Man Jiang in the Jiang family, so the rooms are very spacious.
Jiang Haitang followed her grandfather upstairs and opened the door.
The room was spacious and bright, spotlessly clean. The brand new wooden furniture exuded a faint fragrance. The bed was covered with a festive red satin quilt, and there were two pots of green plants on the windowsill. It was obvious that great care had been put into it.
Her eyes became moist again.
Although I knew that my grandfather cared about me before, I didn’t expect him to be so attentive.
It feels so good to be cherished and properly arranged!
"Grandpa, everything is fine. I'm sorry to bother you." Her voice was choked.
"Silly child, why are you being so polite to grandpa?" Old Master Jiang patted her shoulder, his tone relieved and satisfied.
"Grandpa, your room is really well prepared. I just discussed with Haitang yesterday about staying with you for a few days." Lu Liangchen immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile.
This was the idea that Grandpa Jiang had when he was preparing the room. He never thought that his granddaughter would actually come to live in his home.
"Really?" asked Mr. Jiang.
"Of course it's true, Grandpa. Haitang is your granddaughter. To be honest, she hasn't lived with you yet." Lu Liangchen stood beside Grandpa Jiang and said with a faint smile.
Old Master Jiang was so happy that he was speechless. Could his granddaughter really live in the room he had prepared for her?
"Grandpa, Haitang will occasionally come over to stay with you for a few days in the future. The two little guys might disturb you, so please don't be annoyed!"
"No, why would I be annoyed?" Old Master Jiang murmured.
When Mr. Jiang learned that his granddaughter was going to live here, he had the room cleaned carefully again, and even Xiao Taozi's room was tidied up.
Just then, Xiao Chengzi started yawning, and Grandpa Jiang asked Jiang Haitang to take him to bed.
Lu Liangchen played chess with Old Master Jiang in the study.
"My dear boy, I never thought you would bring such a surprise to me, an old man." Old Master Jiang said to Lu Liangchen with a smile, "Perhaps your fate was destined a long time ago. Back then, when Haitang's mother was pregnant, you called her your little sister and said you would marry her in the future."
Lu Liangchen had long forgotten these things. After all, they were just the talk of children back then. Plus, the little sister never showed up, so he forgot about them over time.
Therefore, Lu Liangchen was also very surprised when he heard about Mr. Jiang, but then he thought, perhaps this is the magic of fate.
"Grandpa, this proves that we are destined to be together. I will treat Haitang well throughout my life."
"I believe in you. I've watched you grow up, and I know exactly what kind of child you are. I'm old now, and I can't protect Haitang and her child for much longer. From now on, you have to take good care of them."
Little Taozi was originally playing with the new toys she brought with her. When she heard what Grandpa Jiang said, she immediately said, "Grandpa, I will take good care of Mommy too! Little Taozi is no longer a child, she is an adult."
The originally heavy atmosphere became much lighter because of Xiao Taozi's childish words.
Aunt Zhang, Xiao Liu and Xiao Hu looked at this happy family and felt sincerely happy for the old leader.
Aunt Zhang, in particular, was so excited that tears came to her eyes.
"The Jiang family's small building has been deserted for so many years. I didn't expect it to be so lively again. The old leader has finally come to an end after all the hardships."
The news quickly spread throughout the compound.
People then suddenly understood why Mr. Jiang looked so exhausted two years ago, but later became more energetic day by day, even full of vigor.
Why has Mr. Jiang spent half of his time at the Lu family in the past two years, and even had three meals a day at the Lu family?
It turned out that they were not looking for an adopted grandson, but rather finding their own flesh and blood who had been away from home for many years!
Some people who originally thought that Lu Liangchen had married a country girl could not help but start to sigh that Lu Liangchen was so lucky that he could find Mr. Jiang's granddaughter in the northwest.
From now on, all the resources of the Jiang family will belong to Lu Liangchen.
