Chapter 888 (Page 1/2)
The two of them packed up and came out of the space, slowly walking into the hall.
Huo Li, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, saw his eldest grandson and his wife coming over. He looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up. A smile as bright as the warm spring sun bloomed on his face. He said happily:
"Oh my, look, this neat military uniform that Qingci is wearing matches Xiaoman's exquisite cheongsam so well!"
At this point, he seemed to be lost in distant memories, his eyes softened, and he slowly continued:
"When I first met Grandma Qingci, she was wearing a blue-gray cheongsam.
The color is simple yet noble, and the style is simple yet elegant.
She just stood there quietly, like an orchid blooming in a valley, gentle as jade, making people want to get close to her and protect her.
At that time, I only took a glance at it, and my whole heart seemed to be hit by something, and I was instantly immersed in it and unable to extricate myself.
So, I called a matchmaker and asked her to go to Grandma Qingci's house to propose marriage."
Hearing this, Lin Man on the side couldn't help but smile gently, her heart full of curiosity.
She had always thought that the marriage between her grandparents was just a casual arrangement by the elders, and she never imagined that there was such a romantic and touching story behind it.
My grandfather fell in love with my grandmother at first sight when she was wearing a cheongsam, and later he took the initiative to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. This is truly love at first sight!
Huo Qingci was also very surprised at this time. He never expected that when his grandfather saw his wife in cheongsam, it would bring back memories of his youth.
I remember that when grandma was alive, grandpa didn't seem to be very close to her! I heard from dad that grandma suffered a lot when she married grandpa.
For a moment, a complex emotion surged in my heart. Maybe grandpa didn’t love grandma, but the general environment at that time was like that?

"Qingci, you and grandpa should sit down and have some tea. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
"Okay, Master Huang and the others are here, so don't get the cheongsam dirty." Huo Qingci reminded in a gentle voice.
Lin Man smiled and said, "I understand, Butler."
As she spoke, she walked to the kitchen and saw Master Huang blowing the duck, separating the skin from the bones and flesh, making the roast duck skin crispy.
When Master Huang saw Lin Man come in, he didn't have time to greet her. Xu Xiaomin, who was cutting vegetables, and Zhang Fen, who was washing vegetables, saw Lin Man dressed in a cheongsam and paused at the same time.
They all knew that Lin Man was tall, graceful and very beautiful, but they didn't expect that she would look like a fairy after wearing a cheongsam.
The two of them opened their eyes wide. Seeing Xu Xiaomin's mouth open, Lin Man reminded her, "Sister Xu, don't cut your hand."
Xu Xiaomin put down the kitchen knife awkwardly and praised with a smile: "Comrade Xiaolin looks really beautiful in her cheongsam. It's so fumy here, you should go out and have a rest!"
"I won't do anything. I'm here to see how you're preparing. Can we start dinner on time at 12:30? The guests will be here around 12 o'clock."
Xu Xiaomin glanced at the busy chef and said with a smile, "It should be possible. Once the duck is put into the oven, we will start stewing the soup."
"Okay then. Remember not to steam the bird's nest soup for too long, as it will easily become watery. Also, don't overcook the seafood."
Chef Huang put down the inflated duck and said, "I know all this. I'll do it as you see fit."
"Okay, you guys get busy. I'll come over when the guests arrive."
Lin Man came out of the kitchen and took out a new set of purple clay tea sets from the room. She cleaned them and placed them on the tea table in the living room.
Then she took out two cans of spiritual tea and a can of scented tea from the space and placed them on the table. She also placed a pot of blooming four-season jasmine on the tea table.
