The family of three finally returned to the compound. Grandpa Gu had already finished dinner and was sitting in the living room watching the news on TV while waiting.
"Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, Tuanzi is back!"
Before they even saw the person, the little man's voice could already be heard.
Immediately, the old man laughed and instructed Sister Liao beside him:
"Xiao Liao, you can bring the mutton soup to the table now."
Sister Liao quickly responded, placing the feather duster, which was dusting off the chicken feathers, aside:
"Okay, I'll go right now."
The little one had already run in first, his sharp ears catching what sounded like some kind of soup:
"Great-Grandpa, is there any food?" she asked, clinging to the old man's lap.
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled broadly and tapped the child's forehead:
"You little rascal, yes, yes, there's soup. Grandma Liao brought it out for you."
Really?
His surprised expression made it hard to believe.
uh-huh.
The old man glanced at his great-grandson:
"It's fake. You can go upstairs to sleep now."
That kid did it on purpose!
The old man finally understood just how deep his seemingly obedient tactics were.
The little boy chuckled and rocked back and forth, hugging the old man's legs.
"Great-grandfather, people know there's soup; they can smell the aroma."
So don't try to fool me!
Just then, Sister Liao came out of the kitchen carrying a clay pot, and the aroma wafted from the kitchen into the living room of the old house.
One of the dumplings was already drooling: "Mmm, it smells so good!"
As the couple walked in, Ye Wanying couldn't help but sniff the air:
"Mutton soup?"
The little boy looked at his mother with some curiosity:
"Mommy, how did you know it was mutton soup?"
Neither my great-grandfather nor my grandmother Liao said anything!
Hearing her son's question, Ye Wanying's eyes crinkled with laughter:
"Sweetie, if Mommy said Mommy has eyes that can see a thousand miles, would you believe me?"
Forehead?
Mom, are you deliberately lying to your son?
Do you still think your son is stupid and dumb?
They say they have eyes that can see a thousand miles, but why don't they mention they also have ears that can hear the wind?
The little man decisively shook his head:
"I don't believe it!"
That's all just a lie to little kids. Tuanzi is a big kid now, she won't be easily fooled.
Heh heh.
My son has really grown up; he's not as easy to fool as he used to be.
Ye Wanying twitched her lips. The little one had already scurried to the dining table, staring at Aunt Liao with wide eyes.
Grandpa Gu didn't ask his grandson and granddaughter-in-law what they had done that day. They were adults, not children, and their parents didn't have to ask about everything.
Knowing that his granddaughter-in-law had already guessed what was in the stew, the old man slowly said:
"This noon, Old Cao and his family from next door brought half a lamb and a leg of lamb to our place. The old man doesn't really like that stuff, so I had Xiao Liao clean it up and make soup."
Ye Wanying walked forward with a smile:
"That's great! Lamb soup is perfect for this cold weather."
The old man saw that his granddaughter-in-law liked him:
"Alright, then you guys hurry over and have a couple more bowls."
When people get old, there are many things they can't eat, but they can watch the younger generation in their family eat, right?
As long as the younger generation enjoys the food, isn't that enough?
Ye Wanying had already arrived at the restaurant, and as for Gao Dan, he naturally had to exchange a few words with the old man.
"Did you go to Old Man Ye's place today?"
Don't ask the old man how he knows. The circle is so small, who doesn't know what's going on?
"Yes, I went there once, and I'll probably be leaving soon."
