Chapter 485 482. Resonances of different ages (Subscription required)
Some addictions come and go quickly.
For example, Bai Shihan, a Xinyu addict, feels a little itchy when she is not sleeping in his arms. When she wakes up from his arms, she enters the sage state.
"You wouldn't have dared to do that before."
"It's all your fault..."
The two of them did not forget to joke with each other before washing up. The only thing that made Lin Xinyu feel strange was that when they finished washing up and went out, Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun did not say a word, as if nothing had happened and they had seen nothing.
After breakfast, the group prepared to set off.
Since we were driving back, it didn't take very long.
"Why don't you bring the old man to live in the city?"
Bai Chen was a little surprised. Wouldn’t this be much more convenient than living in the countryside?
"Mom and Dad said before that they wanted to take her there to live so they could take care of her, but grandma didn't want to go there, saying that the old house at home was comfortable."
This is generally the case with elderly people. It’s not because their sons and daughters don’t want to take care of them, but because they themselves don’t want to go to the city.
First of all, it’s the air quality. Then, I don’t really know anyone around me, not to mention that I’ve already developed the habit of going to the vegetable garden early in the morning to work. If I go to the city, over time, I’ll just feel more and more uncomfortable day by day, as if I’m being restricted.
"Would an old man dislike the hustle and bustle?"
It should be said that when it really came time to meet Lin Xinyu’s grandmother, Bai Chen was still a little nervous.
"When did you become so timid? Why are you the same as when you first met my parents?"
Qiu Jingyun smiled and felt that the other person had returned to his youth and was a little cute.
"This is all for Shihan. As parents, we must leave a good impression on the elders."
"Grandma is doing fine." Bai Shihan whispered aside.
After hearing what the little girl said, Bai Chen was stunned at first, and then felt a little happy. After all, this was the first time his daughter took the initiative to talk to him in a while. This could be regarded as the beginning of the gap between father and daughter disappearing.
It was better to pull the car over to the side of the road, in order to give the old man a surprise, so we didn't drive to the door of his house.
"Xiaoyu?"
Originally, Uncle Wang next door was just curious. Suddenly, a car came to the village, and everyone wanted to see whose child came back. As a result, he saw Lin Xinyu getting out of the car, as well as Bai Shihan and others, and his curiosity increased.
"Hello, Grandpa Wang. Is my grandma home now?"
"Your grandmother? Yes, yes. She said early in the morning that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law would be back. She should be busy preparing dinner now. Who are these two..."
"They are Shihan's parents. They came back with us to see grandma this time."
"Getting married?"
Lin Xinyu nodded. Bai Chen and the others on the side did not object. They had already come back with him, so what was the difference between that and agreeing to get married?
"It's good to get married. Go back and see your grandma. If she sees you, she will definitely be happier than anyone else."
Uncle Wang did not choose to continue chatting, but instead thought about asking them to go find Lin Xinyu’s grandmother as soon as possible. How could such a happy moment be wasted on him?
The four of them said goodbye to Uncle Wang.
Under the leadership of Lin Xinyu, several people quickly arrived at the rural compound. Compared with the last time they came, there were not many changes here. The only difference was that the fruits on the mulberry trees outside had disappeared.
"Grandma, look who I brought back to see you."
"Xiaoyu? And Shihan? These two are..."
Originally, when grandma saw her grandson and his future granddaughter-in-law, her face was full of smiles. But when Bai Chen and the others appeared behind them, her joy quickly turned into confusion.
"Hello, we are Shihan's parents. We came back with them to visit you."
"Shihan's parents?"
Grandma repeated something, then turned to look at Lin Xinyu with a hint of blame in her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell grandma in advance?"
"My uncle and the others didn't want to trouble you, so they asked me not to tell you."
"Yes, don't blame Xiaoyu, we came here on our own initiative."
Several people kept arguing with each other, and grandma was at a loss as to what to do. Finally, she asked Lin Xinyu to take them back to the house and sit them down, while she continued to prepare lunch in the kitchen.
"In fact, we can help tear down this house and renovate it, so that the old man can live comfortably by himself and doesn't have to move to the city."
"I will definitely tear it down and rebuild it. I want to hold two weddings. One in the city, which is closer to you all, to give Shihan a grand wedding. The other one will be in my hometown. Grandma is in poor health and old, so it's not convenient for her to run around. So I'll just hold a simple wedding here and invite relatives and friends next door to make her happy."
"You haven't even started yet, and you're already thinking about getting married. When I return to school after this break, let me see how far your website can develop in a short period of time."
Bai Chen spoke very tactfully. It was true that he agreed with the two of them being together, but getting married and holding two weddings in front of him, wasn't this a clear provocation to him as a father?
"Uncle and aunt, you guys sit here and take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to help out. I'm afraid grandma can't handle it alone."
"Do you want us to come over and help?"
"No, if you go over there, my grandma will only get more nervous."
Lin Xinyu was not wrong, that was the fact. Even if Bai Shihan had been there, grandma would not have been afraid, but when facing Bai Chen and the others, she would be a little nervous. It was not because she was afraid, but because she attached too much importance to it, so she valued this lunch very much.
"I'll go take a look too, okay..."
"Let's go together."
Bai Chen understood what bias meant.
Qiu Jingyun sighed, "What a sensible child. He treats his family well and is likely to treat other people well too. I feel relieved to leave Shihan to him. Don't target Xiaoyu anymore. I'll take out all the private money you've hidden in the past few years and invest it in him."
"How could I have any private money? All the bank cards are in your hands. I really don't have any money left. The money I used to support him last time was from you."
"Don't give me that. There's a plastic bag with bank cards underneath the sofa, in the gap between the shoe rack and the cabinet, and in the small potted plant on the fence."
Listening to what Qiu Jingyun said, Bai Chen became more and more panicked.
How does she know so clearly?
"No, honey, that's the money I saved to buy you a gift. I can't just not buy you anything on your birthday or a holiday, right?"
"Then I will confiscate it and save it for Shihan as a dowry."
Qiu Jingyun snorted twice.
Although she was usually very mean to him, she was particularly caring towards her precious daughter.
"Okay, honey, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on."
Qiu Jingyun looked at her husband and said, "Don't do anything that would make Shihan sad again."
"good!"
Who would have thought that Bai Chen, who is so powerful and independent outside, is actually a henpecked husband at home.
In the kitchen.
Lin Xinyu helped to add the fire, while the little girl stood beside her grandmother and watched her cook.
Most of these vegetables were picked by grandma in the vegetable garden before they came, but they still tasted very delicious.
So this is why the vegetables you buy are not as delicious as the ones you grow yourself.
In order to let the two children enjoy a feast, grandma had caught a hen last night. She got up early in the morning to kill the chicken, then scald it with boiling water and pluck its feathers. After everything was done, she started to cook soup in a clay pot. After stewing, she also cut the chicken and bones into pieces, put them in a small bowl, and sprinkled on seasonings such as green onions, ginger, and garlic. During the whole process, Lin Xinyu and the little girl were helping, while Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun sat in the house and looked around the room to see if there was anything that needed improvement.
When the food was served, several people sat at the table. Lin Xinyu and the little girl were particularly well-behaved, and they put food into each other's grandmother's bowl.
"Shihan, eat more. Grandma is looking forward to your return every day. Today I finally see you."
"I miss grandma too..."
Watching the two of them being sentimental with each other, Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun were deeply moved.
They didn't know how long it had been since they had experienced a moment like this, and now they could finally feel the presence of family love again.
If they had focused solely on their family before, would they and their daughter be like this now?
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun want to use the rest of their time to make up for it and fill in the fatherly and motherly love that their children lack.
Lin Xinyu and the little girl sat on the left and right of their grandmother, eating the dishes carefully prepared by each other, and their little mouths could not stop eating for a moment. Especially the little silly, even the way he ate looked particularly cute.
After dinner, Lin Xinyu took the initiative to wash the dishes. In order not to let him do it alone, Bai Shihan followed him and helped clean up.
Originally, grandma wanted to clean up by herself, but she couldn't handle the enthusiasm shown by the two people, so she had to choose to sit aside and rest.
Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun looked at the two people busy in the kitchen, smiled and nodded to each other.
"You know what, they do look a bit like a young married couple now."
"Yes." Qiu Jingyun was also filled with emotion.
Grandma was listening to them quietly, and when they stopped talking, she asked, "When are Xiaoyu and his girlfriend getting married?"
"This is a matter between the two of them. As for the outcome, they are only freshmen now. They will have to wait until they are at least 20 years old."
"20 years old... Xiaoyu is 18 this year, so there are still two years left."
Grandma talked to herself and considered her current physical condition. It would be okay to wait a few more years. She not only wanted to see them get married, but also wanted to see them have children. That way, even if her body couldn't take it anymore, she would still feel very satisfied.
Bai Chen and Qiu Jingyun did not notice the change in grandma's expression, their attention was always on the kitchen.
At this time, grandma left her seat and went back to her room.
Although Bai Chen and the others outside were a little confused, they did not follow in. After all, it was the old man's own business.
The two people in the kitchen are cleaning the big pot. Cooking in the countryside is completely different from cooking in the city. One is a big pot and the other is a small pot.
So it is more troublesome to clean up.
Lin Xinyu was holding a small bucket in one hand and cleaning tools in the other. Seeing beads of sweat on Lin Xinyu's forehead, the little girl reached out to help wipe them clean!
Lin Xinyu's face was immediately filled with smiles.
How can a single person experience this kind of happiness of being cared for by a girlfriend?
This warm atmosphere made the two of them immersed in sweetness.
"Do you feel that we are like a couple now?"
Lin Xinyu suddenly spoke.
"Yeah." Bai Shihan nodded, with a hint of sweetness in her eyes.
"I really hope I can stay with you like this forever." Lin Xinyu murmured softly.
Hearing this, the little girl tilted her head slightly, kissed him on the cheek, and then turned back.
"Will you be like mom and dad?"
"Of course not. Compared to work, I prefer to be with you and the kids. The reason I'm so busy now is that I want to get everything done before Xiao Xiaohan is born. In that case, my time will be yours in the future."
The little girl's face flushed.
She knew clearly that these were sweet words to coax people, but she just loved hearing them.
Sometimes she felt that she was an easy person to deceive, and she really liked the feeling of being coaxed and pampered by him. This feeling was really very comfortable, and it made people addicted and difficult to refuse.
After clearing away the dishes, Lin Xinyu took a towel and considerately helped Bai Shihan wipe all the remaining water on her hands.
When the two of them walked out of the kitchen, grandma also came out of the room at this time.
The difference from before was that now she had several more bottles of drinks in her hands, and a bag of fresh fruits, which she had bought at the market this morning, just for them.
At times like this, grandma always loves them especially.
For example, these drinks were not kept there because she liked them, but were specially left for them by grandma based on Lin Xinyu and Bai Shihan's drinking habits when they came back last time.
Sometimes she doesn’t even know where to buy something, but when she’s shopping, she suddenly sees familiar packaging, and it happens to be what her grandson and granddaughter-in-law like to eat or drink, so she buys it without saying a word, not caring about the price at all.
Normally, I would bargain for a long time even when buying vegetables, but because of the things my grandchildren liked, I gave up my innate skill of lowering the price.
It’s not that grandma forgot to bargain, but for something like this that she didn’t know anything about, she had no idea what price was appropriate. The only thing she was clear about was that as long as they liked it, it was worth it.
"Eat it, there are still plenty at home, all of which are your favorite foods."
The little girl was deeply moved when she heard her grandma say this.
Thinking back, she also prepared a lot of things that her parents liked or things that would make them happy.
The purpose is simple, just to let them know that going home is also an option.
I've been on the bus for a whole day and I'm so tired. I still have 4,000 words to make up tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't fall behind in the update this month. Thank you brothers for your support~
