Lin Han always knew how to please the elderly, and her praise was genuine.
Grandma Li's cooking skills may not be as good as Grandma Jiang's, but they are definitely delicious.
Lin Han picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in her mouth, then stuffed a big mouthful of rice into her mouth, filling it completely. When she chewed, her cheeks bulged out, like a little hamster.
The older generation loves children who eat with a blessed appearance, who are not picky eaters and enjoy everything they eat; it makes them happy.
Lin Han just happened to be that kind of junior, so Grandma Li naturally had a kind of affectionate filter towards her.
"Eat more, look how thin you are."
She kept putting food on Lin Han's plate, and Lin Han politely smiled and said thank you.
Actually, Lin Han has a good appetite for girls, but she doesn't gain much weight, so even now that she's pregnant, she still looks slim.
Sometimes it worries Grandma Jiang a lot. She prepares nutritious food for her every day, but why doesn't she gain weight?
When Lin Han returned home after having lunch at Grandma Li's house, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Gu had not yet returned.
She lay in bed and drifted off to sleep, only to hear noises outside after a while.
However, Lin Han was too sleepy to get up. When she woke up after her afternoon nap, Grandma Jiang had already packed up the things she had bought from the city.
She went out with Grandpa Gu in the morning, mainly to buy a crib for the baby at the department store.
When they arrived, Grandpa Gu confidently assured them that he could make an exact replica.
Grandma Jiang wasn't skeptical of his skill; after all, her dressing table was made by Grandpa Gu himself when she was young.
But now that she's older, her eyesight is failing and her hands and feet aren't as nimble, so she thought she'd just buy one.
The craftsmanship nowadays is much better than it was back then; the cribs they make are all more beautiful than the last.
Grandpa Gu wanted to show off in front of his granddaughter-in-law and also leave a memento for his great-grandson, so he insisted on making the bed himself.
In the end, Grandma Jiang couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she gave up and instead of buying a ready-made crib, she accompanied Grandpa Gu to buy some high-quality wood.
She even brought some tickets with her when she went out in the morning, and went to the Friendship Store to buy two cans of milk powder for Lin Han.
She also went to the pharmacy to get some medicinal herbs for dietary supplements to make soup for Lin Han.
The elderly couple busied themselves for quite a while before returning home after having lunch outside.
When Lin Han went downstairs, she saw Grandpa Gu sitting alone on a bench in the yard, sketching on a wooden board with a pencil.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Grandpa Gu gestured to Lin Han.
"I'm planning to make a crib for the baby, and we'll put it next to your and Qi Zheng's bed. We'll make the crib railing adjustable so that if the baby cries at night, you can lower it to make it easier to hold the baby."
Lin Han was somewhat surprised. She didn't know that Old Master Gu, who had led troops and fought battles all his life, could also do carpentry.
"Grandpa, you're so skillful! This crib will be absolutely beautiful when you make it."
Grandpa Gu was flattered by the praise.
“Your grandma even suggested buying a ready-made one, but I didn’t let her. It’s not that I was afraid of spending money, but ready-made ones are nowhere near as sturdy and durable as handmade ones.”
Moreover, the crib railings I saw in the department store today couldn't be raised or lowered, so if I wanted to hold the baby at night, I had to climb out of the big bed and stand on the floor before I could hold him.
"This is so much better! I can just lower one side of the crib and place it next to your big bed, so you can easily reach it. And in the winter, you won't have to get out of bed—it's so cold!"
Lin Han was even more surprised, not expecting the old man to have such progressive ideas.
