Zhong Yuxiu was at a loss for a moment and subconsciously looked at Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan's eyes were smiling and full of encouragement; Zhong Yuxiu felt a little relieved and thought seriously about what Mr. Yan said. Could she take on such a promise?
"Yuxiu."
"Hmm?" Yuxiu raised her head, her eyes full of confusion.
Yan Rushan sighed and said firmly, "I'll take care of everything."
Let go of your anxiety, let go of your worries, let go of your concerns, and believe me.
Under his encouraging gaze, he suddenly felt that she was a bit of a scumbag. Others were trying so hard to get closer to him, but she was still standing still.
"Okay." She nodded solemnly. If he treated her well as always, she would try her best to do the same. "As long as you don't change, I won't change either."
"Yeah." Yan Rushan nodded heavily, and the two smiled at each other.
Yan Guofeng was very pleased. He felt that his assist this time was correct. He didn't know how long he would have to wait for his eldest grandson to come step by step.
Seeing the old man's smiling eyes, full of relief, Yuxiu awkwardly turned her gaze away. Yan Rushan's eyes were full of smiles, and he turned his head and said, "Grandpa, what do you want to eat tonight? Let Goudan make it for you. Goudan's food is delicious and tasty."
"Is there any meat?" Yan Guofeng was not polite at all at his future granddaughter-in-law's house.
"We're out of fresh meat, but we still have pickled beef and pork." Zhong Yuxiu replied, "I'll have Goudan make whatever Mr. Yan wants."
Yan Guofeng smiled and tilted his head to look at her, "You're still calling me Old Yan, now you should call me Grandpa."
Zhong Yuxiu opened her mouth, smiled, and called out for help with difficulty.
"Grandpa Yan."
"Hey, I want to eat beef. It tastes best when stewed. It's still early now. I'll stew it for two or three hours and it will be soft and tender in my mouth." Yan Guofeng smiled happily, even happier than before. He didn't get to let his future granddaughter-in-law call him grandpa, but at least he was related to it.
"Okay, I'll let Goudan do it."
Yan Guofeng added: "You can't make braised pork with pickled pork. Just soften it when you cook it."
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu agreed readily, "Do you want anything else to eat?"
“No more.”
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said to Goudan, "Do as Grandpa Yan said. Be soft and mushy."
“Ding ding ding.”
Goudan responded three times and turned back to the kitchen.
"I'm going to the kitchen to see how Goudan cooks. I've never seen a robot cook before." Yan Guofeng stood up with a smile and followed Goudan to the kitchen.
Zhong Yuxiu's cheeks were burning, as if they had been scalded.
Yan Rushan smiled and leaned close to her ear.
"Yuxiu, grandpa likes you very much."
"I, I know." He pushed the person away a little. "Don't get so close. It's hot."
Yan Rushan chuckled, "I'm not hot."
"I'm hot. Anyway, please stay away from me." Zhong Yuxiu raised her chin slightly and pretended to be calm. If her red face hadn't betrayed her, it really looked like that.
"Okay, I won't be that close." Yan Rushan leaned back on the sofa, feeling relaxed and at ease. "When my parents got married, my grandfather didn't say these words."
"Why?" Zhong Yuxiu was surprised.
"Before the chaos, Grandpa saw some signs. My mother has a shady background. He was always trying to circumvent it, and for this, Grandpa gave up many benefits." Yan Rushan said slowly, "That was also the reason why I went to the countryside. There were two children in our Yan family, and one had to go. I was old enough at the time, so I was sent there."
"Having a daughter-in-law with a questionable background, forcing my eldest grandson to stay by my side would inevitably lead to gossip. For the sake of the entire Yan family, my parents, and Ruhai, Grandpa had to reluctantly send me to the countryside." He paused, then relaxed again. "I was young then, and my horizons were limited. When I first went to the countryside, I didn't like it and felt very uncomfortable living there."
"For a while, I even dreamed of returning to the city, hoping that my grandfather would take me back. Every time I wrote back, my grandfather would send me a lot of money and tell me not to save it and to spend it as needed."
"Later, as time went by, I gradually came to terms with it, saw the reality clearly, and gave up." I worked hard in the countryside, thinking every day about how to make my life better.
Suddenly, I felt a little sorry for him. His experience was similar to that of the original owner; the original owner was pushed out by the Wan family, while Yan Rushan was forced to be sent to the countryside by his family. The original owner was psychologically fragile, depressed, and died; Yan Rushan was strong-willed and adaptable, and he lived well in the countryside.
A person's character is very important.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and said, "You are very strong. Back then... you were so depressed that you even fell ill."
"You're a girl, and you were abandoned by your adoptive father. It's inevitable." Yan Rushan raised his hand and gently stroked her temples. "I'm still a grown man, and there were times when I couldn't get over it."
"It has nothing to do with being a man or a woman." She squinted at him and said unhappily, "It's a question of character."
Yan Rushan nodded, a smile flashing across his eyes, "Okay, it's a question of character."
I feel like I'm being coaxed.
No matter how angry Zhong Yuxiu was, she couldn't take her anger out on him for no reason.
"Never mind, I'll go help in the kitchen."
"I'm going too."
She didn't care whether Yan Rushan went or not, but the fact that he came with her showed that he cared about her, which made her feel happy.
Yan Guofeng opened the kitchen door and looked over, "Why are you here?"
"I'll help Goudan." Zhong Yuxiu said obediently, and Yan Rushan also said: "Same as Yuxiu."
Yan Guofeng looked at them with a half-smile, which made Yuxiu's scalp tingle, and then he said, "Alright, you guys come and help me, I'll go outside to read the newspaper. I have to say, Goudan's cooking skills are better than many people who have been cooking for years. The dishes are excellent and look very delicious."
"If you like it, eat more later." Yuxiu said.
"Of course I won't be polite with you." Yan Guofeng smiled and looked at them deeply, then turned and left.
Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. She was facing the man's elder, an elder who occasionally enjoyed watching their play. She closed the kitchen door and then asked in a low voice.
"Grandpa Yan is going to retire now, right?"
"It's almost time for him to retire at his age." Yan Rushan nodded. Seeing Goudan washing vegetables, he stepped forward to lend a hand and said, "Grandpa has worked hard all his life. He can have a good rest after he retires."
That's not necessarily the case.
When an elderly person who has been busy all his life suddenly stops, he will feel that his life is empty; instead, he would like to go to work more, and it would be nice if he has younger people to accompany him. No matter what era it is, there are many lonely elderly people.
"When Mr. Yan retires, you should spend more time with him."
Yan Rushan glanced sideways for a moment, then looked away again, "Okay, I'll tell Ruhai and my parents too."
"It's up to you." No comment was made on this.
While Zhong Yuxiu was helping to watch the pot, Yan Rushan finished washing the dishes and came over. He leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "It would be great if we could get married sooner. When we are not busy, we can take turns to talk to Grandpa and take him out for a walk."
"You are good-looking and have beautiful dreams, but how can all good things in the world come to you?" The cripple stretched out his belly.
