In fact, with the talents of my parents, it would not be their turn if the factory downsized its staff.
But for the sake of their colleague, the couple actually took the initiative to resign, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
The factory leaders tried to persuade them to stay again and again, but they had made up their minds.
My mother said, "Dad, I'm thinking that Zhijian and I aren't that old, and we don't have much of a burden on our family. If we lose our factory jobs, we could start a small business, which would at least give us a living. The children are older now, so why not try our luck out and try our luck? What do you think?"
The father nodded repeatedly. "You did the right thing. You are the children of my old family. As long as you have hands and feet, there is no place you can't make a living. Sujuan is right. It's a good thing to go out and explore while you are young. If you stay in a factory all your life, guarding that small piece of land, you will lose your horizons. Zhijian, you... are great."
The old man patted his son's shoulder vigorously, and the old man's eyes turned red. He has grown up and is now in his sixties, but it is not often that he can get the praise of the old man.
Yi Yalan looked at her grandfather and then at her father, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Grandpa was really strict with my dad, but he was much more tolerant and kind to me. This is what people call the close relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
As he spoke, Old Master Qie blew his beard and glared at me again, "You guys are really something, this is a good thing, there is nothing you can't say. If it weren't for Xiaolan, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"
The father's face flushed, and the mother smiled and said, "Dad, we don't want you to worry."
The old man glared and said, "Oh, you guys are hiding the truth from me. I'm not worried anymore, I'm just upset."
Qi Yalan chuckled and said, "Grandpa, let's stop talking and eat quickly. The food is getting cold."
"Yes, Dad, come and try my cooking. This is your favorite braised fish." The mother hurriedly picked up some food for the old man.
The old man was happy today and took out his treasured wine. When he heard that his son and daughter-in-law had done such a good thing, he was even happier and took the initiative to pour a glass for his son.
"Come on, we haven't gotten together for a long time, let's have a drink together."
"Dad, can you drink?" The father was a little worried.
But the old man patted his son's shoulder generously and clinked glasses with him. "Just one drink, no problem, 㥫!"
His son, though he hadn't achieved much in his life, was at least a kind and honest man. Looking at his granddaughter, he was even more satisfied. His son was a failure, but fortunately, he had given him such a wonderful granddaughter. Her character and interests were exactly like his own!
Then, just after finishing a glass of wine, perhaps because he drank too quickly, the old man choked and started coughing. His mother quickly patted his back to calm him down, "Dad, Dad, are you okay? Xiaolan, quickly pour grandpa a glass of water."
Yi Yalan responded, and with her hands and feet numb, she quickly poured herself a glass of cold water.
The old man drank it all in one gulp, leaned back in his chair, and laughed and sighed, "Ah, it's true that people are no longer good at drinking when they get old. I can't accept it." He looked at the wine glass in his hand and smiled helplessly, "I'll listen to you from now on. I won't drink alcohol anymore. I'll drink more boiled water to stay healthy. At least I can live a few more years."
The father and mother laughed, but also felt sad. "Dad, what are you talking about? Are you in good health?"
"That's right, Grandpa. You will definitely live a long life." Yi Yalan suddenly thought of something. She touched the bracelet on her hand and said mysteriously, "Grandpa, I have a surprise for you."
As soon as her father and mother saw her movements, they knew what she wanted to do. Her mother asked worriedly, "Xiao Lan, are you going to tell the old man now? Don't scare him."
"It's okay, Mom. Don't underestimate me. My grandfather is a military doctor, a top-grade one at that. He has some courage!" Qi Yalan said proudly.
Grandpa Zhu was so happy to be coaxed by his granddaughter that he burst into laughter again and said curiously: "Oh, what surprise has my precious granddaughter prepared for grandpa?"
Yi Yalan smiled mysteriously. She stood up and stood behind the old man. "Grandpa, please sit tight. Mom and Dad, are you ready?"
The father and mother had been to the space many times and were used to it. They smiled and nodded, "We're ready."
Grandpa thought it was just a joke from his granddaughter, and patted her hand on his shoulder, "Grandpa is ready too!"
