Xiao Weiguo didn't mind the strong fishy smell on his grandmother's hands at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed letting his grandmother's wrinkled and weathered hands gently stroke his cheeks.
Looking at the kind-faced old man before him, a heartfelt sense of happiness, like a flower blooming under the warm spring sun, quietly rose from the depths of his heart.
Although the elderly woman was not Xiao Weiguo's biological grandmother by blood, she cared for and protected his family like a real family member from the moment they met.
Grandma was especially attentive to Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue, taking care of every aspect of their lives perfectly.
Whether it's daily meals and living arrangements, preparing school supplies, or caring for and accompanying someone when they're sick, Grandma does everything with utmost care and dedication.
Since Grandma came to this family, the heavy burden on Xiao Weiguo's shoulders has been significantly reduced.
He no longer needs to worry about his children's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and can devote himself wholeheartedly to his busy work.
At that moment, a slight noise came from inside the room.
It turned out that Liu Ye had heard the commotion outside and peeked out.
She knew Xiao Weiguo would be home today, so she stayed home to wait for his return.
The other children in the family, some older and some younger, are still at school receiving their lessons today, as it's a regular school day, and there's still some time before school ends.
Besides Liu Ye, Aunt Jiang, the slightly plump and kind-faced nanny, was also busily working in the spacious and bright kitchen.
At this moment, only a handful of them were in the huge house, making the entire space exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
Liu Ye tiptoed to Xiao Weiguo's side and gently handed him a damp, clean white towel.
Xiao Weiguo smiled and took the towel, gently wiping his face, which was slightly dusty from work.
The couple has been so busy lately that they haven't been able to spend as much time together as they used to, enjoying the warmth and sweetness of their time as a couple.
When their eyes meet, the deep affection in each other's eyes seems to be enveloped in a thick, honey-like emotion—a kind of unspoken understanding and deep longing that belongs only to lovers.
Xiao Weiguo had barely sat down when his grandmother eagerly reached out and grabbed him, asking him with concern.
"Weiguo, tell Grandma what's going on at your textile factory."
And what about Tiger? How are his injuries now?
Although Grandma doesn't usually care much about Xiao Weiguo's work, how could she not be worried about such a big case at the textile factory?
Moreover, Grandma also really liked Tiger, that honest and adorable young man.
You should know that Xiao Weiguo and the others have always treated Hu Zi as their own brother, and Grandma has never treated Hu Zi as an outsider; she has always loved him as if he were her own grandson.
Now that Tiger is so badly injured, the old man is heartbroken.
Seeing this, Xiao Weiguo quickly sat down next to his grandmother, gently put his arm around her arm, and said softly with a comforting smile on his face.
"Grandma, don't worry about it! Who do you think I am? This little thing is no problem for me! I have good news for you: the case at the textile factory has been solved! Tiger is out of danger! The doctor said that as long as he rests for a while, he'll be able to come back to visit you healthy and strong! Now you can finally relax, right?"
After saying that, he even winked mischievously at his grandmother.
Upon hearing this, Grandma couldn't help but reach out a finger and gently poke Xiao Weiguo's forehead, laughing and scolding him.
"Hmph, you're the most capable one!"
Although he said this, the old man's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a relieved smile reappeared on his face.
We had only been chatting for a short while when Grandma suddenly slapped her thigh and let out a gasp.
"Oh dear! Look at my memory, I'm getting senile! Grandma knew you were coming home for dinner today, so she specially prepared your favorite fish for you early in the morning."
I was thinking of having your Aunt Jiang help me cook, but her fish-cooking skills are really not that great, how could she possibly make a dish that suits our precious grandson's taste! Grandma was determined to cook it for you herself, but who would have thought that seeing you back would make me so happy that I completely forgot about it! Alright, alright, you two can chat for a bit, Grandma will hurry up and get things ready in the kitchen.”
Before she finished speaking, the sprightly old lady had already stood up from the sofa with remarkable speed and efficiency, and in the blink of an eye, she strode briskly toward the kitchen.
Just then, Aunt Jiang was carrying dishes past the door when she heard what the old lady said. She pointed at the old lady and laughed.
"You old lady, you just learned a new way to cook fish and wanted to show it off to your grandson, but now you're complaining about my cooking skills."
Grandma pushed Aunt Jiang towards the kitchen.
"You talk too much!"
Hearing the sounds of two people busily working in the kitchen, Xiao Erguo's smile remained on his lips.
This is home, a place where you can always let go of your worries and relax.
"Is Tiger really alright? He's awake?"
