“When I came in the morning, you said my granddaughter-in-law was sleeping. When I came in the afternoon, you said she went out to sea with Xiao Xiu. Now that I’m here, you’re telling me my granddaughter-in-law isn’t coming back for dinner. Tell me, what kind of son and daughter-in-law are you?”
Grandpa stood at the door, watching his children play cards. He ate sunflower seeds while complaining to Professor Chen and Professor Wu.
“Dad, you came looking for your granddaughter-in-law around six o’clock this morning. You said she didn’t come back until late last night. You went to bed at ten o’clock yesterday, and Mom was also tired, so of course you didn’t see her. The two kids both went to bed late last night. They were supposed to come see you after they woke up, but you went to take a nap instead. So of course the kids had to go out and play. They’ll be back in a little while. Don’t be so anxious.”
After Professor Chen finished speaking, he shouted, "Right, no one wants me anymore? If no one wants me, I'm leaving."
He played a three of clubs and a three of diamonds, and grinned from ear to ear.
Professor Wu stopped him at this moment: "Hey, don't rush, it's three."
"Hidden until now?"
Professor Chen's eyes widened in surprise.
"Then you could have woken me up. Can't I even get up from my afternoon nap to see my granddaughter-in-law? Chen Guanzhi, you did the worst job in this respect."
Professor Chen was singled out by the old man.
Professor Chen said with a wry smile, "Dad, you have to consider the situation. Who in the house would dare to disturb your afternoon nap? Nobody dares to wake you up, okay? With your temper when you wake up, I still remember how you beat Guanhai back then."
"grandfather?"
Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu returned, riding their electric scooter. When the old man saw his granddaughter-in-law and grandson, his face lit up with a big smile.
But then he suddenly remembered that Professor Chen seemed to have exposed his shortcomings, which made him very unhappy.
I don't know if my granddaughter-in-law heard it.
"Oh, my granddaughter-in-law is back! How was your day? Did you have fun?"
The old man's face was beaming with joy. If he could have a great-grandson in his lifetime, that would be wonderful.
But it doesn't matter if we don't have them. Now we have children and grandchildren around us.
He was already very happy to see his grandson get married and marry such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law in his lifetime.
"Grandpa, this sea trip is so much fun! I've never seen so many fish caught before, and the fish cooked on the boat is delicious too."
Jiang Yu got out of the car and came to the old man.
"As long as it's fun, that's fine. I'm just worried that this place won't be fun for you. Since you think it's fun, if there's another sea trip tomorrow, Grandpa will go and say hello to them, and you and Xiao Xiu can go."
Grandpa assured him in a strong voice.
"Grandpa, don't overthink it. It's fun once, but it won't be fun after a few times. By the way, have you eaten?"
It was already late, so Chen Cixiu parked his electric scooter and asked.
"I've eaten. I was planning to come and have dinner with you guys, but you went out to sea."
The old man expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Grandpa, were you complaining about your son again?"
If we're talking about who understands the old man best in the whole family, it has to be Chen Cixiu.
"You little brat, you know everything." Professor Chen turned around and glared at him, and the next moment he heard Professor Wu say, "A four."
Professor Chen blurted out instinctively, "I won't follow."
His younger brother's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected his brother to pull this stunt. What could have been a draw was now a losing proposition.
"Hahaha." The two sisters-in-law laughed happily. They thought it was going to be a draw because Professor Wu had so few cards left. But to their surprise, Professor Chen said no.
"Hey, no, how could I possibly not want a four?"
Professor Chen lowered his head, unsure of what to do.
Professor Chen's younger brother, Mr. Chen Guanhai, felt extremely helpless at this moment.
Sometimes, when you encounter an older brother like this, you can't help but suspect that he's doing it on purpose.
"No, Chen Cixiu, it's all your fault."
"Blame me? Dad, if you're not good at cards, just say you're not good. Don't blame me. That's called focusing."
Chen Cixiu wasn't afraid of his father at this moment. With his grandfather nearby, this matter was beneficial to his dear Professor Wu and his second aunt. Although his words had interrupted Professor Chen's thoughts on the card game, it was no wonder he was upset.
Even if it was his fault, Professor Chen could only keep it to himself.
Professor Chen looked around and realized that the "truth" was not in his hands, so he decided to leave it at that.
The old man and Jiang Yu had a very pleasant chat. They hadn't talked much when they met in the city before, but now that they were back in the village, the old man seemed to have so much to say. In fact, he told Jiang Yu almost the entire history of the village.
That's why President Jiang is President Jiang. Even in this conversation, despite not being familiar with the person, she was able to quickly grasp the key points through the old man's verbal explanation.
I was even able to chat with the old man about the history of the Tang Dynasty.
The origin of Chenjia Village dates back to the Tang Dynasty.
This place was once a wild and undeveloped land. The ancestors of Chenjia Village were not native to the area. They came here to escape famine, and after many years of evolution, it became the Chenjia Village we know today.
The old man and Jiang Yu were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even realize they had finished all the sunflower seeds.
Chen Cixiu thoughtfully made up for it for them.
The old man doesn't go to bed early in the city, but when he returns to the village, he often says, "There seems to be some kind of sleeping pill in the village that can make people fall asleep quickly. But I don't think it's that; it's the comfort of home that makes me fall asleep easily."
