The couple talked for a while, Yan Rushan went upstairs to make the bed and tidy up the room, and then came downstairs to find lunch ready.
"Comrade Yan is here, and it's time for dinner. Old Yan hasn't gotten up yet. Should we keep the soup for him or ask him to come out for dinner?" Wang Daya came over with a bowl of crystal white soup and met Yan Rushan who was coming down from upstairs. She asked this question.
Yan Rushan said, "Put the food on the table first. I'll go get Grandpa."
"Okay." Wang Daya put the soup on the table and went to the kitchen to urge others to set the table.
Zhong Yuxiu looked back and smiled at Yan Rushan. Yan Rushan turned around and walked towards the old man. He knocked on the door three times outside, and did so again and again, waking up the old man who was sleeping soundly.
"Come in." The old man's voice was hoarse. It seemed that he had just woken up and was not very awake.
Yan Rushan pushed the door open and walked in. "Sorry to have woken you up."
"It's okay, it's time to wake up." I hadn't planned to sleep, but I fell asleep before I knew it. "If I sleep for a while, I won't be able to sleep at noon."
"Then go out for a walk. Don't you want to see your comrades? Go visit them one by one." Walking forward and helping the old man to his feet, Yan Rushan continued to ask, "Grandpa, do you want to wash your face with cold water?"
Yan Guofeng gave him a sidelong look and said, "Wash! Bring me some water."
"Okay, please sit down for a while."
Yan Rushan walked out of the room and went to the bathroom to get a basin of cold water. Everyone had their own washbasin, and Goudan had washed and dried it from time to time during the time they were away from home, so the washbasins were all clean.
"Grandpa, the water is coming."
Yan Guofeng stood up with his hands on the edge of the bed, and walked to the stool next to him while saying, "Put it here."
Yan Rushan did as he was told, put it down, stood up, and watched the old man bend down, scooping up cold water with both hands and splashing it on his face. His movements were quick, and he was suddenly startled when he was touched by the cold water.
This is the case when you first use cold water, but it will no longer happen once you get used to the water temperature.
After the old man finished washing his face, Yan Rushan took the basin of water and followed him out of the house.
Yan Guofeng woke up in a good mood, "Yuxiu, didn't you get some sleep?"
"Grandpa, get up." Zhong Yuxiu stood up. "We have so little time, let's use it for a nap."
"That's right, it's good to keep it for a nap." Yan Guofeng was too embarrassed to say that he fell asleep.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and nodded, "That's right, you're awake now so we can have lunch. Please go to the dining room first. Brother Yan and I will go to the bathroom to wash up and then come back."
"Go ahead." Waving his hand, Yan Guofeng went straight to the dining room.
With the smile on her face, she walked towards the man carrying the basin and asked, "Did Grandpa punish you?"
Yan Rushan nodded calmly, "It's just his little hobby. He's willing to go through the trouble, so just satisfy him."
"You!" Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and laughed. The old man was getting more and more comfortable and lively as he lived. What could they, as grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law, do? They were not ignorant little kids, so naturally they spoiled them. "But only a grandfather like this can live a comfortable life."
Yan Rushan agreed with this very much. He was used to seeing his grandfather who had been in a high position for many years, with an imposing and domineering aura everywhere and a stern face and a serious expression all the time. Now seeing his grandfather living his true nature after retirement, he felt sad and distressed, and felt indulgent in his heart. He just hoped that his grandfather could live happily.
He has dedicated himself to the country for the past few decades, and no matter how many years pass, his descendants hope that the old man will be healthy and live a long and peaceful old age.
Zhong Yuxiu went to the bathroom with Yan Rushan. Yan Rushan poured water to wash the basin, and Zhong Yuxiu waited outside the bathroom after washing her hands. After Yan Rushan finished washing his hands, the two went to the dining room together.
"Here you are, come and sit down." Yan Guofeng saw his granddaughter-in-law instead of his eldest grandson. "Yuxiu! Do you want to go out for a walk with me after dinner?"
"My wife wants to sleep, unlike you who has already taken a nap."
Yan Guofeng: ...Dear, I’m not angry.
"Besides, we have an early dinner time. If you finish your meal and then go to someone else's house, they will still be eating." Are you in a hurry to eat?
Yan Guofeng: Where is my knife?
"Believe it or not, your grandfather is still welcomed when I go to dinner time now, but you may not be so welcome." Come on, let's hurt each other!
Yan Rushan agreed with this, "After all, I can't do things like rushing to eat."
"Nonsense, you believe it?" The old man opened his mouth and started to criticize. "I don't know who is always rushing to eat when pursuing his wife, and even shamelessly learning cooking skills. How is his learning going now?"
"I can still cook home-cooked meals. I've also learned some traditional dishes. I'm better than you were back then."
The grandfather and grandson were bickering in a really poor manner. Zhong Yuxiu knew that Yan Rushan was bickering with the old man, but she didn't say anything to stop them. It was quite interesting to listen to them exposing each other's shortcomings.
In the end, Wang Daya and the others came over and interrupted their stubborn mouths.
"Mr. Yan, Comrade Yan?" They were chatting and laughing before, why did they suddenly stop?
Not only Fang Guozhong, who spoke, was confused, but Wang Daya and others were also puzzled.
Yan Guofeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sit down and eat."
"Okay." Fang Guozhong nodded and sat down with Gu Lingguo, while the others sat in their old seats.
"Let's eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Guofeng picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes, followed by Zhong Yuxiu, Yan Rushan and others. After lunch, everyone drank a bowl of clear soup and felt refreshed.
Yan Guofeng smiled contentedly and said, "You can still make a good soup in such a short time at noon. Your cooking skills have improved again."
"We have gas here, so it's quick." Wang Daya finished speaking, and Gong Zhaodi added, "The dishes on the table were all prepared in the yard over in Hongxing Village. We can just process them when we get home and eat them."
"I see." Yan Guofeng nodded in understanding. "Alright, you guys pack up, I'm going out for a walk. Oh, and remember to feed Liji and the others solid food when they wake up. Have you made solid food for them?"
Wang Daya said, "It's ready. It's stewing in the pot. Don't worry, I guarantee there will be something for Liji and the others to eat when they wake up."
"That's good. I'll be leaving first. Yuxiu, you should go upstairs and take a nap to get enough rest." Yan Guofeng gave another reminder before leaving, completely forgetting his eldest grandson.
Yan Rushan: ...If you don’t know, you would think he picked it up.
After Yan Guofeng left, Zhong Yuxiu stood up and said, "Brother Yan, let's go to the bathroom, wash up, and go upstairs to rest."
"Yeah." Yan Rushan stood up and went to the bathroom with her; washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then went upstairs.
Arriving at the room upstairs, Zhong Yuxiu said and went straight into the laboratory, "Goudan."
“Ding ding ding.”
Goudan started up and detected that there were people besides Zhong Yuxiu, but he did not respond.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "You can speak now. After several years of research, they've already developed a preliminary version of the voice control system. However, be careful when you speak. You're a clumsy robot."
"Yes, Master."
Goudan suddenly spoke. Yan Rushan, who was in the room, had just pulled back the quilt when his body froze. He hurriedly threw away the quilt and went to the laboratory, only to see his wife and Goudan standing opposite each other.
