The old village chief had been busy for most of his life, and as he retired in his old age, he gradually became more relaxed.
However, his children and grandchildren are all a bit slow-witted and don't know how to coax him, leaving him with pent-up anger that he can't vent.
With Old Wu recently making headlines again, his "misery" only serves to highlight it further.
Sigh~
Am I really useless now that I'm old?
Yes, my legs and feet are so weak, where can I go?
My grandson still needs to go to school, so the money needs to be saved for him.
If his wife knew he was having wild thoughts, she might scold him terribly.
Sigh~
Heartbreaking.
"father--"
"Woof woof woof~"
The big black dog in the corner lazily raised its head, glanced at the people coming, then squinted its eyes and stretched its limbs.
"Call back the soul!"
The old village chief, interrupted by his son, tapped the table with his pipe in annoyance.
"Father, Princess Jiang invites you to dinner tonight. She says she has something to discuss with you."
Wu Guanghua gasped for breath. He knew his father was very unhappy with him lately, so he stood far away to avoid being beaten with his pipe.
"What? Princess Jiang?"
The old village chief was a little slow on the uptake and didn't react for a moment.
You can't blame him for that. He's getting old, and sometimes he forgets what he just heard, especially when it's mentioned out of the blue, he's completely clueless.
"Dad, you're getting senile again."
Wu Guanghua sighed helplessly and muttered something under his breath.
The next second, a cloth shoe hit him on the head. He didn't dodge it and took it, because he had to let his father vent his anger.
"You unfilial son, how dare you call your old man senile! You're asking for a beating!"
The old village chief realized, "It's Jiang Shi! She's been promoted again; she's now a princess!"
But his mind—no, it was his son who said it so suddenly, and even scolded him for being senile, saying that one shoe wasn't enough and he was going to lose another one!
"You old geezer, what are you doing!"
Oh no, my wife is coming!
Wu Guanghua struggled to move his body, thinking to himself that his parents should take it easy, or they might get caught in the crossfire.
......
At dinner time, the old village chief arrived as promised.
He was carrying a flask of fine wine and looked quite energetic and in good spirits.
"Hehe, you old man, it's rare for you to bring alcohol with you today."
Grandpa Wu was also invited over for the drinks, and he brought a pot of sake from home, wanting to have a good drink with his old friend.
The old village chief glared at his old friend, handed the wine to Qingshan who had come to meet him, stroked his long beard with his right hand, and said smugly:
"What, I'm not allowed to bring my own alcohol? Fine, then don't drink it later~"
"Dream on! I want to drink the wine you brought!"
Grandpa Wu shook his head, a smug smile on his face.
Just as the two were bickering, the food was served.
Considering the elderly people at the table, Aunt Ge instructed Qiuhua and Donghua to cook several dishes that would be easier for the elderly to chew.
"Come on, old buddy, it's rare for us two brothers to get together and drink, isn't it? Qingshan, fill my glass, and fill yours, Yongfa's too!"
"Okay, sir."
"Qingshan, have a good drink with your grandpa and your grandpa Yongfa. Mom's going to check on your maternal grandfather, I'll be back shortly."
"Okay, Mom~"
Perhaps due to the fatigue of the journey and some discomfort from the change in environment, Old Master Gu fell ill after returning home.
Mrs. Xu was taking care of the old man inside the house. When she saw her granddaughter come in, she smiled and said:
"It's alright, your grandfather just took his medicine and fell asleep."
"Yes, Grandma, don't overwork yourself. I'll have Aunt Ge bring the food in later. Don't tire yourself out."
Jiang Yue took her grandfather's pulse, and it was much smoother, and his complexion had recovered somewhat, which put her at ease.
After giving a brief explanation, she tiptoed out of the room...
Tang Xin had already started drinking and chatting happily, and with Qingshan keeping her company, Jiang Yue wasn't in a hurry to go out anytime soon.
A table of food was set up in the courtyard, and Da Xue and her two children were feeding the animals.
As soon as Jiang Yue arrived, the two little ones grinned and clamored for their grandma to hold them.
Yes, it's not just Wan'er who needs to be held by her grandma, but also Xiao Wenxuan.
The little guy can now pronounce simple words like "dad," "mom," "grandma," "sister," "aunt," and "bye-bye."
He shouted it so smoothly!
The little white one looks a bit pitiful. The third one is being held in the little guy's arms and doesn't dare to struggle. The little master likes to pull its ears and tail, which has made its tail bald!
"Woof woof woof~"
Human, oh no, owner, please help me!
The little white dog looked pitifully at its owner, its life seemingly hopeless.
Jiang Yue took her grandson in her arms, tenderly untying the little boy's tug at Xiao Bai's tail, muttering to herself:
"Poor little Bai, little Tangyuan, don't bully little Bai. How about I go to your great-grandmother's house another day and order a big-sized teddy bear for you?"
"Grandma, darling~"
Little Tangyuan only half understood, her mouth still covered in egg custard, and she pouted, wanting a kiss from her grandma.
Jiang Yue picked up the handkerchief on the table and gently wiped the little guy's mouth, then his tiny fingers.
Not giving it to my relative?
Little Tangyuan cried loudly, insisting on getting a kiss from Grandma!
"Waaaaah~"
Well, that little grandson is really clever; he's probably learned bad habits from his sister.
*Splat!*
Jiang Yue kissed the little guy's hand hard, then his cheek, which successfully turned the little guy from crying to laughing.
"Mother, you eat first, I'll coax Wenxuan to eat."
After calming her daughter down in the snow, Da Xue tried to bring her son back to feed him.
"It's okay, I'll feed him. You eat first. Don't just focus on taking care of the baby and neglect yourself."
Jiang Yue shook her head; her little grandson was nestled in her arms, behaving very obediently.
She suddenly became interested and decided to feed her grandson herself.
Ah~
"Awoo~"
Little Wenxuan ate happily, showing a tiny bit of his little teeth.
However, anyone who has raised a child knows that after a child grows teeth, as the teeth become "sharper," it can be extremely painful when they bite.
Jiang Yue was bitten on the shoulder, arm, and palm by her granddaughter.
This time, she had to instruct Aunt Ge in advance to make some teething sticks for her grandson to chew on.
Jiang Yue gently patted her grandson's back to help the little guy swallow his food.
After feeding most of the animals, she spoke up and gave her daughter-in-law some instructions:
"We'll be heading back to Yunshui County tomorrow, probably around August or September. You and Qingshan will have to work hard to take care of the family, the grandparents at the old house, and your family back home. Please take good care of them too."
"Yes, Mother, don't worry. With my husband and me here, leave everything back home to us. We will definitely not let you down."
Da Xue respectfully said, while also reminding her mother-in-law to take care of her health and not to overwork herself.
Jiang Yue chuckled. Her son wasn't this considerate; only her daughter-in-law cared about her like this.
As for her daughter, I don't know how Yao Yao is doing in Yunshui County. I hope she takes good care of herself and doesn't get sick.
"Grandma, Wan'er doesn't want to be separated from you~"
When Wenwan heard that her grandmother was leaving again, she reluctantly struggled out of her mother's arms; she wanted to stay with her grandmother.
"You silly child~"
Daxue smiled gently, gazing at her daughter with doting affection.
"Hehehe~"
