I just don’t know if it is the ginseng wine I have been thinking about day and night.
His originally gloomy face suddenly brightened up and he was immediately extremely happy. He stood up unconsciously from his sitting position and stretched his neck to look towards the door.
At this time, Lu Cheng's family of four stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.
Old Master Xiao's attention was immediately attracted by the wine in the hands of the two men. The two jars of wine seemed to emit a strange light in his eyes.
His eyes began to sparkle, his face was filled with smiles, and he murmured to himself: "I knew that Yuexi girl would not forget me. This girl is really considerate!"
As he spoke, he walked quickly forward. His enthusiastic look was completely different from the stern look he had shown when he was teaching Xiao Yichen a lesson just now.
Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi walked into the house with a smile and gently placed the jars of wine in their hands on the table.
"Grandpa Xiao, it's New Year's Day, and we've brought you some wine!" Lin Yuexi's voice was clear and pleasant, echoing in the house like a silver bell.
Old Master Xiao responded hurriedly, his smile growing brighter and his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Oh, Yuexi, you really understand grandpa's heart. I've been looking forward to this sip of wine!" As he said that, he carefully picked up a jar of wine and looked at it carefully. He looked so reluctant to let it go, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Xiao Yichen watched his grandfather from the side and couldn't help but joked, "Grandpa, look at you, you were furious with me just now, but now that you see the wine my sister-in-law sent you, your attitude changes so quickly!"
Old Master Xiao glared at him, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face: "You kid, you only know how to make fun of your grandfather. If you have half the ability of Lu Cheng, would I need to worry so much?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Grandpa Xiao, Yuexi has been talking about you. I know you like this wine, so I specially prepared a few more jars. It's enough for you to drink for a while."
"Okay, okay," Old Master Xiao responded repeatedly, "Come on, stop standing, sit down. Yichen, why are you still standing there? Go and pour tea for your brother Cheng and sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yichen responded with a smile and turned around to get busy.
After a while, he came over with steaming hot tea and handed it to everyone one by one.
Everyone sat together, laughing and talking.
Old Master Xiao opened a jar of wine, and immediately, a rich and mellow aroma of wine filled the entire room.
Lucheng, Lin Yuexi burst out laughing when she saw Mr. Xiao was so anxious.
Old Master Xiao couldn't wait to pour himself a glass, took a sip, and an intoxicated look appeared on his face. The mellow taste instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, slid down his throat, and warmed his heart.
"This taste is exactly the same as I remember, it's wonderful!" He smacked his lips in satisfaction and looked at Lin Yuexi again, "Yuexi, who did you learn this winemaking skill from? This wine is simply the best in the world!"
Lin Yuexi explained with a smile: "Grandpa Xiao, this is something I figured out myself. I just wanted to make some good wine so that everyone can be happy."
"Great, great!" Old Master Xiao gave a thumbs up and praised highly.
At this time, Xiao Yichen rolled his eyes and joked, "Grandpa, since you like the wine brewed by sister-in-law so much, why don't you just recognize sister-in-law as your granddaughter, so that you won't have to worry about wine in the future!"
When everyone heard this, they all started laughing.
Old Master Xiao also laughed, and the wrinkles on his face were full of joy. He thought to himself, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it last time? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been shown off in front of him by that old man Gong.
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Yichen, this is a good idea. Yuexi, are you willing to be my goddaughter?"
Lin Yuexi looked at Lu Cheng a little embarrassedly, and when she saw him nodding with a smile, she responded obediently: "Grandpa Xiao, of course I am willing!"
"Okay, okay!" Grandpa Xiao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "From today on, you are my granddaughter!" He turned and walked into the room, and soon took out an exquisite wooden box. "Yuexi, this is a gift from grandpa, don't despise it."
Lin Yuexi took it and opened it. It was an ancient and elegant jade necklace. Its warm luster shone under the light. It was worth a lot of money. "Grandpa Xiao, this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Lin Yuexi hurriedly declined.
"Please accept it. This is a little gift from grandpa." Old Master Xiao insisted that she accept it.
Lu Cheng also advised: "Yuexi, this is Grandpa Xiao's good intention, just accept it."
Lin Yuexi then carefully put away the necklace and thanked Mr. Xiao again.
When Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun saw that Lin Yuexi had accepted Grandpa Xiao as her goddaughter, they immediately stepped forward and called sweetly, "Hello, Great Grandpa..."
Old Master Xiao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles on his face were full of joy. He hurriedly responded, "Oh, good, what a good great-grandson!"
As he spoke, he took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed them to Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun respectively.
"Here, this is your New Year's money. The New Year is coming soon. This is your New Year's money from your great-grandfather..."
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun took the red envelope and said happily, "Thank you, Grandpa Zeng!" The two looked at each other and came to Grandpa Xiao again. Lu Ziyan took his hand and said, "Grandpa Zeng, we will come to see you often in the future and bring you delicious food!"
Lu Xiyun also echoed: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Zeng, if you miss us, tell Mom and Dad and ask them to bring us here."
Grandpa Xiao was amused by the two little guys' words and laughed heartily, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Grandpa Zeng is looking forward to your coming!"
At this time, Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Grandpa Xiao, the children will have another elder who loves them in the future. Please don't spoil them too much."
Old Master Xiao waved his hands and said disapprovingly: "What kind of words are you talking about? It's only natural to love your children. Besides, these two little guys are so sensible, I can't wait to like them!"
After everyone chatted for a while, Xiao Yichen suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandpa, since my sister-in-law has become your goddaughter, our relationship will be even closer in the future. How about we find a time to get together and have a lively meal?"
Old Master Xiao's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "That's a good idea! It's settled, I'll arrange it, on the fourth day of the New Year! Invite Old Man Xie, Old Man Zhang, and the two old men from the Gong family, let them envy me for having such a good goddaughter! And also make Old Man Gong angry..."
Lin Yuexi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa Xiao, please don't make my grandpa angry, he has a bad temper..."
"No, no!" Old Master Xiao said excitedly, "I just see him showing off in front of me all the time. Now you've become my god-granddaughter, so he and I are equal!"
