Chapter 92
Grandma Shu smiled and squatted down, holding Xiao Zhuang's hand. She coaxed him lovingly, "Xiao Zhuang, do you want to stay and play with Grandma?"
Xiao Zhuang grabbed his father's trouser leg with his other hand and shyly hid behind his father's legs.
"This child is so shy..."
"Then come play more often in the future. I'll make you some cookies and have Chen'er take them to kindergarten, okay?"
"Okay." The little zombie nodded obediently.
Grandma Shu sighed, saying that the child was so cute and was exactly the grandson of her dreams.
Shu Jinye's eyes lit up when he heard his grandma's words. His grandma was really a great helper. He quietly gave his grandma a thumbs up beside her.
The comprehensive course has ended and he was worried about not having the chance to go to kindergarten. Now he can go and bring cookies to Xiao Zhuang every day.
"Come play again next time, little zombie~"
"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang waved goodbye to the Shu family.
"We won't bother you for now." Jiang Chen picked up the little zombie and prepared to leave.
Shu's mother held her son and gave him a look.
Shu Jinye stepped forward knowingly and said, "Mr. Jiang, can I take you back?"
"No need to trouble you." Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and thanked him.
"Hey~ What trouble is there? It's a rare occasion for distinguished guests to come to our house, so I'll see you off, old man." Grandpa Shu immediately asked someone to drive the car over.
"Isn't this... not good?"
"What's wrong with that? We'll be a family from now on." Grandpa Shu accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Jiang Chen: ...
Realizing that he had just said the wrong thing, Grandpa Shu smiled awkwardly, "Ahaha, I mean that we are as close as a family. I like this child, Xiaojiang. Let me hug him." In order to ease the awkwardness, Grandpa Shu took Xiaojiang and held him in his arms, rubbing his chubby face with a beard stake. The old man's face was filled with bubbles of happiness.
Looking at the well-behaved little zombie lying motionless in someone else's arms, Jiang Chen realized for the first time that the most difficult person in the Shu family was the old man.
At the gate of Jiang's house.
Today, Jiang Chen witnessed the hospitality of the Shu family. When they came, there were only the two of them, father and son. When they came back, the Shu family actually sent them home.
"Thank you all for today. It's getting late, so please go back."
Grandpa Shu looked at the antique vermilion lacquer gate, his eyebrows raised, and he was very interested in the house.
"Since we're here, why don't you invite us in and have a seat?"
Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed, "It's too late...will it disturb everyone's rest?"
However, Grandpa Shu was a stubborn and careless person. At this moment, he was deeply attracted by the high walls of the house. As soon as he came to this place, he could feel relaxed and at ease, as if this was a Feng Shui treasure land with many treasures waiting for him to dig.
His curiosity made him itch. "Old man, I'm tired from all the journey here. Mr. Jiang, you wouldn't be so unwilling to treat me with even a cup of tea, would you?"
Jiang Chen is of course a hospitable person. How could he refuse when the guest has already spoken?
"Then please don't despise my humble abode and come in for a few cups of tea."
The moon hangs high on the branches, and Jiang Chen in the night is full of simplicity and mystery.
The street lights in the garden corridor are very bright, and the house looks different at night than during the day.
There are waterfalls cascading down from the mountains, winding corridors in the house, and a breathtaking view at every step.
Grandpa Shu was so amazed that he couldn't take his eyes off the scenery. "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful here!"
He had never seen such a beautiful house before. His shrewd eyes rolled around and he immediately made a decision.
Jiang Chen treated the Shu family to tea in the teahouse. Just when he was about to ask the Shu family if they wanted to go home, Grandpa Shu sat on the chair and acted like a naughty old boy.
"I can't walk anymore, old man. I'm not going back today."
"Grandpa, this is bad, isn't it?"
"My old problem of dizziness has come back again. I can't stand the tossing and turning~" Grandpa Shu took advantage of the alcohol to act like a spoiled child.
Shu Jinye looked at Jiang Chen's expression awkwardly, fearing that Jiang Chen would feel offended.
Jiang Chen's face, which showed peace and prosperity for the country and the people, was still as calm as ever.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. Grandpa might have been a little drunk from the cold. He's not feeling well now."
Grandpa Shu thought to himself that his grandson had finally learned the ropes, and immediately acted like a proper person. "Ouch, my head hurts!"
Jiang Chen certainly knew what Grandpa Shu was planning. He had been praising the house since he came in. It looked like he would not want to go back if he didn't live there for a while.
"Then why don't you just rest in my house first?"
“Thank you so much!”
Jiang Chen immediately arranged for the housekeeper to take them to the guest house. Grandpa Shu had already taken a fancy to a courtyard and walked over there with light steps.
"Grandpa, don't expose yourself." Shu Jinye, who was supporting him, quickly reminded him.
"Ohhhh…yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Chen followed behind and saw their little actions clearly, but did not point them out.
After entering the yard, Grandpa Shu was extremely satisfied: "This place is great, I will live here from now on."
Grandpa Shu always likes to go out. He spends most of the year fishing outside and rarely stays at home for more than half a month.
When he saw Jiang Chen's house today, he finally understood that no matter how he decorated his family's manor, he was never satisfied. It wasn't because his family couldn't keep him. It turned out that what he wanted was a house of this style where he could live forever.
After getting permission to stay overnight, Grandpa Shu stopped pretending and said in the yard, "Xiao Jiang... I'm not in good health. I think your house has good feng shui and is suitable for recuperation. Can you rent this yard to me, an old man, to live in?"
"No, old sir, you can stay as long as you want."
Although the old man felt uneasy after hearing what Jiang Chen said, he immediately retorted: "How can this be possible? Let's put it this way."
Immediately afterwards, a huge sum of money was deposited into Jiang Chen's account, so quickly that it seemed as if the author was afraid that Jiang Chen would regret it.
Jiang Chen looked at the string of zeros at the end. The rent was almost half of the cost of renovating the house. Grandpa Shu was so generous that he even made a special note of the rent, which made people laugh and cry.
Shu Jinye was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He had tried many times to meet Jiang Chen but it was harder than climbing to the sky. He didn't expect that his grandfather was so shameless that he would blame someone else's family on the first day they met. He sighed in his heart that the older he was, the wiser he was.
The courtyard Grandpa Shu chose had the best view among all the courtyards in Jiang's house. Through the window, one could see the waterfall on the cliff and the classical corridor on the cliff. In front of the courtyard was a small river made of blue and white jade with a white jade bridge on it. The courtyard had flowing water and pavilions scattered around, and the scenery was elegant. It was only a few steps away from the main courtyard where Jiang Chen and Xiao Jiang lived. He was extremely satisfied.
After settling Grandpa Shu down, Jiang Chen took Xiao Zhuang back to his room to rest, as Xiao Zhuang had to go to kindergarten tomorrow.
Grandpa Shu ordered someone to deliver his luggage immediately, and he asked Shu Jinye for the layout of Jiang's house.
In addition to the artificial lake at the entrance gate, there is a pool under the mountain waterfall, and a medium-sized lake upstream. The house looks like a necklace with beads on it on the satellite map.
"What a fabulous location! I can even go fishing upstream in the future. I'm so happy with this place."
Grandpa and grandma at home are both great helpers. Shu Jinye gave the old man a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa has to take action."
"Of course, you are worthy of being the old man. This trick of occupying the magpie's nest is really clever." Father Shu kept praising his old father.
"Hey, don't say that casually. It's like saying that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first." Grandpa Shu immediately corrected him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah... Dad is still awesome."
"Okay, you guys can go back first. The old lady and I can stay here, so as not to disturb our peace."
"From now on, I'll be able to enjoy myself... I can play with my darling grandson every day."
The more Shu Jinye listened, the more he felt that something was wrong: "Wait, Grandpa, no, no, I am your good grandson."
Grandpa Shu waved his hand, "It's all the same. Little Zombie is much cuter than you."
"With your cowardly attitude, I don't think it's going to be easy for you to deal with Jiang Chen..."
"Jiang Chen is a good kid. I like him. If things don't work out, he can be my adopted son."
Shu Jinye: ...
After realizing what was happening, he was furious: "How can this be possible? Isn't Jiang Chen the same generation as my dad? I still have to call him uncle. I won't agree."
Shu's father and mother stared at their son with dismay, "Alright, just work hard on yourself, and we'll go back first."
After the younger generation left, the yard became quiet. At this time, the Shu family's housekeeper had come with servants to help clean up.
Grandpa Shu sat on the couch. The fragrance of cypress in the room made him squint calmly. "Qingqing, I want to eat cake."
Grandma Shu was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since she heard the old man call her by her nickname. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it for you right away."
Each yard was equipped with a kitchen, and half an hour later Grandma Shu brought out the burnt cake.
The butler was speechless again. How could he eat this thing?
Grandpa Shu turned on the TV and watched it while eating, looking so leisurely.
Only he himself knew that when he was young and full of energy, his mental strength could easily go out of control. Only after eating Grandma Shu's food did he feel relaxed.
When he was young, he was not only tall and mighty but also handsome and cool. He had many suitors, and Grandma Shu was one of them.
He felt that he was troublesome and would always scare away his suitors with his fierce attitude. However, not only was Grandma Shu not afraid of him, she often followed him like a little follower. Over time, he got used to having such a girl around him. The reason why he was able to win Grandma Shu's heart was all because of his cooking skills.
After taking a shower, Jiang Chen lay on the bed and looked at the introduction of Grandpa Shu in the online encyclopedia.
Grandpa Shu is the supreme glory of the Shu family. In the interstellar era, the Shu family has always been a wealthy merchant family, but no one has ever achieved military merit.
A hundred years ago, interstellar wars broke out frequently and the people of the Federation lived in dire straits. At the time of the rise and fall of the country, Grandpa Shu, despite the pressure from his family, resolutely decided to sell his property to help the refugees. He also joined the army and was the only one in the Shu family to sit on the position of marshal. As a former marshal, he had made great military achievements. The war between the Federation and the Empire was the most turbulent era. At that time, he was famous for his killing. Now he has been retired for more than 50 years.
Jiang Chen covered the little zombie with a blanket. The old man's deeds were very similar to those in Dongqi. The Shu family was really interesting. They hadn't changed at all from the past to now.
