Grandpa Meng knew about it. When Guo Changping introduced them, he said, "I know. That was her mother's personal behavior. Her mother and that man didn't register their marriage. It won't affect the child, let alone her partner. Besides, even if you two got together, you'd never reach my position in your whole life. Your achievements won't be as high as that girl's. It won't affect you."
Meng Chengguang... his grandfather was an old man who practiced Tai Chi and was a master of Yin and Yang.
Zhang Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back. If she had a good family background and was so outstanding, how could she possibly be interested in her son who was still working at the grassroots level?
"Dad, ask the matchmaker if the girl has taken a liking to our silly son, or if she'll look down on Chengguang for being uneducated." Meng Jiandang was worried that the girl wouldn't like his son and would find fault with him.
“If none of you have any objections, then I’ll ask,” Grandpa Meng said, looking at the family of three.
Meng Chengguang's face was flushed; he had a very good impression of Xiaoyu.
Zhang Yun and Meng Jiantang had no objections.
Grandpa Meng called Guo Changping.
Guo Changping laughed heartily. He knew the old commander wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. Such an outstanding girl was hard to find even with a lantern.
“Changping, my grandson has a low level of education, but he can learn slowly in the future. He is still young, and pressure will motivate him.” Grandpa Meng was also afraid that the girl would look down on his grandson’s low level of education.
"Old Chief, you seem to like this granddaughter-in-law quite a bit?" Guo Changping asked with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not stupid. If I don't like this granddaughter-in-law, do you think I'm going to fly to the sky?" Old Master Meng said irritably.
"Haha, you old rascal, always trying to bring the best things home. Let me tell you, old chief, Manman's maternal grandparents' family is exceptionally well-off. That child grew up away from home; her second uncle is in agriculture, her third uncle runs a factory, one aunt works in customs, her uncle-in-law is in foreign trade, and she has an adopted aunt who teaches at Peking University. Her fiancé works at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Manman's maternal grandparents' businesses..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I know. The young lady is very good, very good. Go ask her quickly." Grandpa Meng hung up the phone impatiently. After saying so much, he felt even more that his grandson was not good enough for her.
Previously, Guo Changping had only given a brief introduction to Manman's situation, since it was uncertain whether the two parties would hit it off, so there was no need to say too much. Now that he knows the young man has a very good impression of Manman, of course he has to show off, because the girl has a strong backing.
Manman had a decent impression of Meng Chengguang and decided to try to get to know him.
Before they knew it, it was May Day, and Xiaoyu's wedding day arrived. The night before the wedding, Xiaoyu prepared a basin of water to wash her feet.
"Sir, wash your feet to relax."
Old Man Guan smiled and said, "Okay."
"I'll go see if there's anything we haven't prepared yet," Sister Liu said, making room for the grandfather and grandson to talk.
Xiaoyu put the old man's feet into the warm water. "Is it hot?"
"It's just right that it's not too hot," Old Man Guan said with a smile.
“I remember the last time I fetched water for you to wash your feet was back in the old house. It was just the two of us then. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I’ve grown up, but I haven’t been able to properly take care of you.” Xiaoyu massaged Grandpa Guan’s feet, her head bowed, her voice choked with emotion.
"Those were really tough times. We didn't see a single animal for a whole year. In the dead of winter, we didn't even have a decent cotton coat. We were lucky to survive." Old Guan's eyes reddened as he looked at Xiaoyu, as if he were looking at that thin, small child who had depended on him for survival.
