Chapter 259: Rookie Leads the Young



Grandma Cheng also curled her eyes and said, "If you're bored, go to your grandfather's study. I heard from Yunxu that you're good at calligraphy, and it just so happens that your grandfather's hobby is calligraphy."

Xie Jing waved her hands hurriedly: "I only learned it for a few years when I was a child, how can I say I'm good at it? This time I came to visit my grandparents, I must learn from my grandpa."

Grandma Cheng couldn't help but smile: "Okay, then you guys go. Your grandpa collected a guqin years ago. It's also in the study. Go and see if you like it."

Xie Jing was indeed interested in these traditional Chinese instruments. When she heard about the guqin, her eyes lit up. "Then I'll excuse myself."

Zhou Jiyun also stood up, nodded to everyone, and took Xie Jing to the study.

One of Cheng Shuying's childhood friends looked at the two of them from behind and couldn't help but smile: "The couple has such a good relationship, they follow each other everywhere."

Cheng Shuying smiled and said, "Young people are always very direct in their expressions and emotions."

"You can finally rest in peace now. You and your wife have certainly suffered these past few years." My aunt cut a plate of fruit and came over. "What a coincidence! We resolved all our problems last year. From now on, it's a good life."

Yun Lan raised his glass, "Indeed, with Jingjing found, the dark cloud that has hung over our heads for over twenty years has finally dissipated."

"Jiyun is also moving his business to the capital. Once Jingjing graduates, we'll be able to see each other more often."

Thinking of the future, Cheng Shuying couldn't help but smile. "Living in the capital, Jiyun is still considerate of Jingjing. He has indeed sacrificed a lot for Jingjing."

My second aunt also laughed and said, "Isn't life for a young couple all about accommodating each other and caring about each other?"

"That's true, that's true..."

In Grandpa Cheng's study, Xie Jing was learning calligraphy from him. She did know a few strokes of calligraphy, having learned them long ago. Later, as her focus shifted to music, calligraphy gradually fell behind.

After writing a few words under Grandpa Cheng's guidance, Xie Jing smiled and said, "I will also prepare a set of brushes, inkstones, and paper when I go back. Writing is really good and can calm my mind."

Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Of course, I'll add a table to the study and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you."

"I'll practice with you later and get some literary talent. Teacher Xie, please teach me."

Xie Jing was amused: "How can I be so talented and elegant? Grandpa is the real master."

A history professor, how much reading must one have? His vision was so broad that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and his thinking was so profound that Xie Jing felt that Grandpa Cheng was a very wise man.

Seeing the young couple getting so attached to each other while talking, Grandpa Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched. Young people, these old people are a little embarrassed by their good relationship.

Zhou Jiyun chuckled: "I know nothing about calligraphy, and asking Grandpa for advice would only waste his time. I'll learn from Jingjing first..."

Grandpa Cheng couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this. Forget it, he, a big light bulb, would not stay at the desk anymore. He should go read a book. He took a book and sat down on the sofa by the window, his eyes determined not to drift towards the two people.

He is old and his blood sugar is high, so he should pay attention to controlling his blood sugar.

Zhou Jiyun didn't want to learn how to write, he just liked to hang out with Xie Jing. Xie Jing's calligraphy was only at the entry level, so she could guide Zhou Jiyun, a newbie.

Grandpa Cheng listened to the two of them, occasionally turning a page, thinking to himself that these rookies were really inexperienced. One dared to teach, and the other really dared to learn.

After writing a few pages, the two found another amusement: the guqin that Grandpa Cheng had collected. Zhou Jiyun put on the pick under Xie Jing's guidance: "Like this?"

Xie Jing hummed, "It's actually very difficult to play the guqin well..."

When it comes to playing the guqin, Xie Jing's confidence soars. Zhou Jiyun is no idiot; he quickly picks up the fingerings after Xie Jing teaches him. However, this is just a fleeting memory, and he'll need to practice more slowly.

Grandpa Cheng listened to the occasional sound of the piano, then looked at the two people huddled together across from him, and felt that he could no longer stay in this study. He put down the book he had read two pages of, shook his head, and left the study, leaving the space to Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun.

As soon as he came out, he saw Cheng Yu clinging to the door frame, and the other party was holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures of the two of them. Cheng Jin stood one step away from Cheng Yu and couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Grandpa Cheng come out.

Grandpa Cheng glanced at Cheng Yu, who looked strange. "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jin coughed lightly. "The night before yesterday, when we were staying up all night for the New Year, Jingjing and Jiyun were playing the violin at the Yun family's house. Yunxu posted a lot of photos in the group to show off. Chengyu felt that Yunxu couldn't be the only one enjoying himself, so when she heard the violin playing, she insisted on dragging me over to take pictures."

Grandpa Cheng completely didn't understand the young people's thinking. He left with the cup in his hand and said, "If you have some free time, you can pick up your old talents. Jiyun has no foundation and is learning the guqin from Jingjing in the study."

"Ha," Cheng Yu laughed out loud, "He's not interested in these things. He just wants to be with our sister all the time."

"Isn't that good?" Grandpa Cheng glared at him and said, "Seeing your sister and brother-in-law's deep affection and loyalty, have you ever thought about having a romantic relationship?"

Cheng Jin knew something was wrong and began to slowly back away. Cheng Yu didn't notice anything was wrong at all: "Why should I be anxious? Brother Jin hasn't found a partner yet... Brother Jin..."

He looked back again, but Cheng Jin was no longer there.

Grandpa Cheng was annoyed: "Your brother Jin ran away a long time ago. Seeing your sister and brother-in-law like this, aren't you envious?"

Cheng Yu looked at the photos on her phone and said, "I'm envious, but what else can I do besides envy? Such a strong relationship like theirs is something you can only encounter once in a while."

"Forget it, I'd better watch them less. If I watch them too much, it's easy to put myself in their shoes, and it will be even more heartbreaking."

Grandpa Cheng was helpless: "You always have reasons. Forget it, you have your own opinions. As long as you don't regret it in the future. In fact, in my opinion, getting married and having children is not an inevitable choice."

Cheng Yu cheered: "Grandpa is wise!"

Grandpa Cheng spread his hands and said, "I just look at it in a positive way. Our Cheng family doesn't have a throne to inherit. As long as you live a comfortable and happy life, that's enough."

"As for whether to have a relationship or not, that's your own business."

Cheng Yu asked tentatively, "Even if I don't get married, do you think it's okay?"

Grandpa Cheng: "As the wheel of history rolls by, humanity will only turn into dust. I teach history, and I've long since given up on all this. As long as you accept it and live happily and freely, that's enough."

Cheng Yu: "I said my grandfather is the most open-minded! It's not that I don't want to fall in love, it's just that I haven't met anyone I like. When it comes to love, you always have to find someone you like, otherwise it would be irresponsible."

"I'm not looking for a partner for the purpose of getting married. I have to find someone I like."

Grandpa Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You make your own decision. If you have any confusion in the future, you can tell us."
