Chapter 258, Gift from the Elders
"This is good. I also think it's better for them to be mentally prepared." Old Mrs. Du felt sorry for her granddaughter and didn't want to marry her off for any reason.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." An Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll let Pingping come over to accompany Grandpa Li and Grandpa Wang tomorrow, and you can also call Dujuan over, and then you four elders can speak up and mention it then." After all, one can't push a child too hard.
"That's it."
An Qianqian and her mother came back with happy faces.
As soon as he came back, he casually told Pingping that he had forgotten to deliver something to Mr. Li and the others, and asked him to deliver it tomorrow.
Pingping had no objection of course. He hadn't visited Grandpa Li and the others for some time.
Seeing that he agreed, An Qianqian and her mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Pingping didn't know that he had been sold by his mother. He happily carried his things to see the two old men early in the morning.
The two old men have loved them since they were young. If they had little time at home, they would have wanted to be with them every day.
Today is a big day for the nursing home, and everyone is planning to come and join in the fun, so of course Mr. Li and others are fine with that.
Especially when retired elders came, everyone was even happier.
"I'm so sorry that you came here in person." Mr. Wang was more familiar with the elders and spoke to them in a more intimate manner.
"I watched the child grow up. Now he's going to get married. If I don't come to see him, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future." After all, I'm getting old.
"You are in good health and you are younger than me. It is too early to say that." Mr. Wang disagreed with the elder's statement.
"Okay, let's stop being polite here. I'm just a retired old man, just like you. I don't want to get involved in all that complicated stuff." The elder has adapted to his current ordinary life.
He really wasn't used to sitting in that position again.
｜"Old Du, let me tell you, Pingping is a kid..." The elder really likes the children of the Mao family.
Grandpa Du could never have imagined that the elder had such a close relationship with the Mao family. "Haha, if it works, my girl will get the advantage." Of course, his words were just a polite remark.
He didn't think his granddaughter was bad at all, he was just being polite.
Old Li shook his head. "That's not the way to put it. Pingping is indeed good, but the girl from the Du family is not bad either. There is no such thing as cheap or not. Old Du, don't underestimate your own child."
After the old men joked for a while, Pingping was brought in.
Pingping had never seen an elder before, so he didn't recognize him and thought he was an old man in the orphanage.
"Hello, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang." He greeted the people he knew first, and then called out to the old men sitting there, "Hello, Grandpas."
"Haha, you are Pingping. I didn't expect that you have grown up so much in the blink of an eye." The elder looked at the handsome Pingping and praised him sincerely.
Pingping didn't know who was speaking and couldn't respond.
Mr. Wang explained, and then Pingping immediately saluted respectfully to the elder.
"Hello, leader."
"Haha, little guy, don't be so nervous. I'm just a retired old man now, not a leader. Just call me grandpa." The elder was very kind.
"Haha, hello Grandpa." Pingping did not refuse. He was not the kind of person who played scheming games.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, Dujuan came over and said, "Grandpa and grandma, you are here. I had to look for you for a long time." She didn't know why her grandparents called her over, but thinking that they hadn't visited them for a long time, she came over.
When I arrived at the courtyard where they lived, I didn't see anyone.
I asked and found out that he actually came here.
"Dujuan is here, come here quickly." Old Man Du waved to his granddaughter.
Everyone's eyes also looked in the direction where Mr. Du was waving.
When Pingping saw Dujuan, he was completely stunned. How did he meet her?
Dujuan didn't expect to see him.
"Grandpa, why did you and grandma come here? It's so easy for me to find you." Everyone who can live here has an extraordinary status. Du Juan didn't go up to curry favor with them. Instead, she came to her grandfather and waited for him to speak.
"Haha, it's lively here. Come, grandpa will introduce you to some people." Grandpa Du looked at his outstanding granddaughter, feeling so proud.
"This is the Elder Grandpa. These two are important scientists in our country, Grandpa Li and Grandpa Wang."
Dujuan was startled.
"Hello, leader." He bowed to the elder.
“Haha, don’t be so reserved. Just call me grandpa like you do with Pingping.” The elder was happy from the bottom of his heart when he looked at the outstanding youngster.
Pingping smiled at Dujuan innocently as a greeting.
"Hello, Grandpa Li and Grandpa Wang." As for scientists, I have only seen them on TV.
Compared to Du Juan's excitement, Mao Zhengyu was much calmer.
This made Grandpa Du look at him with a higher opinion, and he liked this candidate for his grandson-in-law even more.
The old men and old ladies were chatting happily here.
Before we knew it, we were talking about the marriage of the younger generation in the family.
Well, we’re finally getting to the point.
"I think Pingping and Dujuan are a good match. Old Du, why don't you take this kid to your house?" Grandpa Li joked.
The old man and old lady who were watching the fun on the side were also happy to act as matchmakers.
"I think they look very good together, both are very good. It's really hard to find such a good match outside."
"Yes, the family backgrounds are equal, and Du Juan will not be wronged. I think that's OK."
Pingping and Dujuan were both stunned.
How come the topic ended up affecting them?
The two looked at each other and sensed danger.
Want to quit.
Unfortunately, these people are all old and cunning, how can they be asked to retreat?
"I think it's better to let these two children have a good talk." The elder said.
Well, once he opened his mouth, no one dared to object. Besides, it was impossible for everyone to object.
When Dujuan was about to speak, Pingping pulled her back.
Everyone saw all the little actions of the two.
"Grandpa, we are still young, there is no need to rush about getting married." Pingping said.
He spoke first and shifted the blame to himself. Even if the elder was unhappy, he would not blame Du Juan. He was very responsible.
His performance made the old couple of the Du family even more satisfied.
"How can you be young? Counting your age, you are already twenty-five. When you were here, I was leading troops to fight in wars, and my eldest daughter was born." The elder became unhappy upon hearing this.
The elder is also a military man, and he is decisive in what he says and does.
"How about this, you know the little girl, so just tell me whether you like her or not." The elder thought they were being too hesitant and that matters like this needed to be dealt with promptly.
Pingping was confused.
Everyone was confused.
Du Juan was even more confused.
The elder turned his gaze to Du Juan again, "Girl, what do you think of this young man? If it doesn't work out, Grandpa has plenty of candidates. Then Grandpa will find a few more for you to take a look at."
Hearing this, Dujuan's legs went weak.
