Although the little boy didn't understand why the old man had suddenly fallen silent, he could see the expression on the old man's face and couldn't help but wonder:
Did I say something wrong?
I've said it before, don't underestimate this little guy just because he's so young. He's quite intelligent, and of course, his emotional intelligence is even higher.
Thinking this, the little man asked the question in a low voice.
The old man sighed again before continuing:
“Guai Mimi didn’t say anything wrong. Your grandma passed away when your dad was very young, so Guai Mimi has never met your grandma.”
I didn't understand the meaning of "no longer here" before, but now I understand it very well.
The little girl's face immediately turned sad, and she still held the old man tightly with both hands:
"Great-grandfather~" she called out.
The old man has recovered and is now tightly embracing his great-grandson.
"Does my sweetie want to see your grandma?" she asked.
Upon hearing this, the little dumpling nodded:
"Yes!" I said.
"Okay." With that, the old man looked at Aunt Liao, who was plastering the stairs.
"Xiao Liao, could you please bring over our family photo album?"
Aunt Liao put down the handkerchief in her hand:
"Wait a moment, sir, I'll go get it right away." With that, he went downstairs.
The photo album was always locked in the downstairs study. People didn't use that study much, since the Gu family avoided mentioning Gao Dan's biological mother whenever possible.
Of course, this does not mean that Xu Tianjia is someone who cannot be mentioned. On the contrary, in the hearts of the old man, the old lady, and even Gu Beiwang, Xu Tianjia carries a very heavy weight.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Liao brought out more than one photo album; there were four in total, all filled with family photos of the Gu family. Apart from photos of the old man and old woman when they were young, photos of Dean Gu, Second Uncle Gu, and Xu Tianjia from childhood to adulthood, as well as some photos of Gao Dan, Gu Ziling, and even Gu Yujin, four albums really weren't that many.
“Grandpa, they’re all here.”
It's also because the Gu family doesn't really like taking photos; otherwise, there would definitely be even more.
The photo albums were laid out one by one on the coffee table. Aunt Liao didn't disturb the grandmother and grandson again and went back to her work.
The old man sat on the sofa drinking tea, while the little boy slowly flipped through the photo album and began to look at it. The first page was a group photo of Dean Gu, Uncle Gu, and Xu Tianjia when they were young. At that time, Xu Tianjia was only fifteen or sixteen years old as the adopted daughter of the Gu family and had not yet married Gu Beiwang. In the photo, she had a smile that had never been seen since.
They were laughing so happily, so joyfully and blissfully!
The little guy was clever; he recognized Gu Beiwang and Gu Ziling's father, and pointed his little finger at the young woman in the middle:
"Great-Grandpa, is this Grandma?"
In the little boy's mind, Grandma and Grandpa are a couple, and his second grandpa has a second grandma, so this beautiful woman must be Grandma.
The old man laughed:
"That's right, your grandma had just passed the high school entrance exam and insisted on taking this photo with your grandpa."
Otherwise, such a rare group photo might never have happened.
The little man nodded and whispered:
"Grandma was so beautiful back then."
The little guy has a good eye for beauty.
Back then, photos were still black and white. If they were in color, the pictures would probably be even more beautiful.
The old man wholeheartedly agreed, saying that his adopted daughter was truly beautiful. In those days, which family in the compound didn't love their sweet little girl?
As he thought about it, the old man's eyes became a little moist.
