Grandma Fu had told her when she came that this woman was arranged by the superiors to take care of them, so she was in an open position. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a nanny now. If people knew about it, they would have to suffer.
The four of them went out after lunch. When they arrived at Grandpa Fu’s friend’s house, the old couple had just finished lunch, and the woman who took care of them was cleaning up the dishes.
Seeing them coming, Mr. Wang said happily: "Hey, Lao Fu, you are here, come and sit down, we two brothers haven't talked together for a long time, this time you can't go back in a while."
Grandpa Fu smiled and replied, "Not this time. I came here with my grandson and future granddaughter-in-law. I have to have a meal at your house before I go back."
"Your grandson is back. When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" said Grandma Wang
"I have only been back for a few days. I have been busy with other things at home these days. I will bring you to visit as soon as I have time," Grandpa Fu replied.
"That's great, Shinian. Bring your partner over here and sit down. It's Grandpa Fu's place. Just treat it like your own home. Don't be polite," said Old Wang to Fu Shinian.
Fu Shinian took Tong Yiya and the four elderly people to the living room sofa and sat down before introducing them to the Wang family couple: "Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, this is my girlfriend Tong Yiya."
Then he turned to Tong Yiya and introduced them: "These two are old friends of my grandparents. We all call them Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang. Just follow my lead."
Tong Yiya obediently followed Fu Shinian to call people. After everyone got to know each other, Grandma Fu pulled her aside to chat with Grandma Wang.
After a while, the two old men set up the chessboard, and they stopped chatting and gathered around to watch them play chess.
The two of them played for more than two hours. Later, Grandpa Fu asked Tong Yiya to play with Grandpa Wang for a while. She won a game by a small margin.
Grandpa Wang was not angry when he lost the game. Instead, he happily pulled Grandpa Fu and said, "The person your eldest grandson found is good."
"Of course. My eldest grandson has the same vision as me. He can judge people accurately when he sees them," Grandpa Fu replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we have been here for so long. We can't sit for long at this age. Let's go to another place and chat for a while. You can go back after dinner," said Mr. Wang.
"It's getting late now. My eldest daughter-in-law is still waiting at home cooking. Let's eat at your house next time." Grandpa Fu refused
He just said that he wanted to have a meal at Mr. Wang's house, but he was just joking. The amount of food that the couple eats every month is limited. If the four of them had a meal here today, the Wang family would not have enough food this month.
Grandpa Wang did not force the four of them to stay. He saw them out the door and watched them walk away before returning to the living room.
Seeing other people's grandchildren coming back with their wives, he felt a little sad, because he and his wife had a pair of children in the early years, but they did not survive the war years, and his wife was injured when giving birth to their little girl.
After his children died, his wife also advised him to divorce and find another one, but this was the woman he had loved since childhood, so how could he just abandon her?
So he didn't agree at that time, thinking that as long as the two old people had a good relationship, it didn't matter if they didn't have children. But every time he saw other people's children and grandchildren, he would think of his own deceased children.
After Grandpa Fu took Tong Yiya and the others out of the Wang family's yard for a distance, he sighed and said, "Your Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang are also poor people. Their children died one after another in the same year. It was a great blow to them..."
"Why are you telling these things to the children? You can't let them expose the scars of Mr. and Mrs. Wang. It's been so long since this happened, we should forget about it," Grandma Fu interrupted him.
"I'm just saying it," Grandpa Fu said
When the four of them returned home, Mother Fu was preparing to cook. Tong Yiya saw this and went over to help.
Everyone had gotten to know each other better these past few days, and they were no longer as reserved and awkward as when they first met, so when they saw her going to help, no one said anything.
Fu Shinian and Grandpa Fu sat on the sofa, and as they chatted they talked about the issue of their marriage.
Grandpa Fu asked, "Since you've brought Xiaoya back, when are you two planning to get married?"
"Grandpa, we have discussed this. We plan to wait until Xiaoya turns 20 before getting the marriage certificate," Fu Shinian replied.
"Is that so? How old is Xiaoya now?" Grandpa Fu asked
"I'm turning 19 now, and I'll be 20 in a few months."
"Are you not planning to get married at home?" Grandma Fu asked anxiously.
She originally thought that her grandson brought the person back with the intention of holding the wedding at home and then returning to his hometown.
"It's not that we don't prepare. What we have discussed is that when the time comes, we will hold a ceremony in the village first, get the certificate there first, and then come back during the Chinese New Year next year. We will invite people we have good relations with in Beijing to have a meal at our home, which will be regarded as a replacement for the certificate," Fu Shinian explained.
"Since you two have discussed it, your parents and I have no objection. But, since you are married to the girl, you must always be nice to her and don't do anything stupid," said Grandpa Fu.
"I will treat Xiaoya well, grandpa and grandma, don't worry," Fu Shinian replied.
"I heard you say that Xiaoya's family has no relatives left, right?" Grandma Fu asked.
"Yes, she originally had an uncle and an aunt, but I heard that her uncle went to a farm in the northwest a few years ago, and her aunt remarried with her children. No one has contacted her in these years.
After her parents died, she was taken to live with her uncle, and the job she was given as compensation was given to her aunt, but that family never treated her well.
Xiaoya told me that she left home when she was a teenager and lived alone in an orphanage there. She used the money left by her parents to finish high school.
Later, she seemed to have found a good job and worked in the factory for two years, but she seemed to be pestered by her ex-aunt again, and she felt annoyed. At that time, the educated youth were just starting to go to the countryside for construction, so she signed up, sold her job and went to the countryside." Fu Shinian told the two old people about Tong Yiya's previous life.
"Oh, what a miserable girl." Grandma Fu's eyes were filled with tears. She thought Tong Yiya was from a simple family without parents, but she didn't expect that she had suffered so much since she was a child.
Fortunately, Tong Yiya didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would say, "I didn't suffer much, but those people were punished."
"Your mother and I saw in your letter last time that Xiaoya was a child without a family, so we discussed preparing some dowry for her. They are all old items. We can't take them with us now, but you asked her to keep them well as a reminder," said Grandma Fu.
