When Mrs. Zhu heard that Ji Ling wanted to eat, she immediately called her aunt to prepare it. When she heard that she hadn't had breakfast yet, she smiled so hard that her eyes were narrowed.
"Your grandpa went out for a walk and will be back soon. We'll have dinner when he comes back."
Ji Ling responded and said, "Grandma, I will move back today and wait for my eldest brother to come over before I move back."
"Okay, you can come back and live here whenever you want. I'm alone at home most of the time, so you'll have someone to talk to when you come back." Old Mrs. Zhu had this idea a long time ago, but she didn't dare to say much, for fear that Ji Ling would feel uncomfortable living with them.
Now that the child has brought it up on his own initiative, how can the old man not be happy.
At this time, Miao Shaozhen also came down from the stairs, still holding a bag in her hand. She called out "Grandma" first, and then greeted Ji Ling, "Sister-in-law is back."
Ji Ling nodded.
Old Madam Zhu said, "Shaozhen said she wanted to go back and spend more time with her grandfather. She has already bought the train ticket for this afternoon."
"Grandma, I want to go over after breakfast, buy some things for my grandpa, and then go to the station."
"List out what's missing, and take what you have at home."
"Grandma, this is a gift for Grandpa. It's my heart's desire. Please agree to it." Miao Shaozhen put down the bag, sat next to Grandma Zhu and acted coquettishly.
Old Mrs. Zhu clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't stop you from fulfilling your filial duties."
Miao Shaozhen leaned close to Old Lady Zhu and said, "Grandma, thank you. Before I met you, I only mixed with people in society. I didn't know right from wrong and I thought I was very powerful. It wasn't until I met you that I became sensible and realized how hard it was for Grandpa to raise me."
"Good child, it's not too late to understand these things now." Old Mrs. Zhu patted her hands gently. "We didn't do anything. Your grandfather worked the hardest. It was all thanks to your own efforts that you were able to get into the medical school. You should study hard in the future, and when you start working in the future, work hard to get a house here and bring your grandfather to live with you."
"Grandma, that's what I thought."
While the two were talking, Ji Ling was observing Miao Shaozhen from the side. Miao Shaozhen felt very similar to when he left her yesterday, like a person who was covered with a layer of veil and suddenly the veil was pulled off, making people feel different when they looked at him.
After Zhu's father came back, Mrs. Zhu immediately started preparing dinner, "You came back so late, I was waiting for you."
While peeling eggs for Ji Ling.
Immediately, the aunt also came over to serve porridge to Ji Ling, and she became the sunshine of the family.
After Ji Ling said it several times and found it was useless, she simply stopped talking. Zhu's father also told her to sit down and relax.
"If you don't let your grandmother and the others keep you busy, they will feel even more uncomfortable."
Ji Ling laughed and said, "Grandpa, if this continues, my four legs will melt away."
“Hahaha, no, I’ll go downstairs and take a walk after we finish eating.” Father Zhu laughed, but his laughter stopped when he saw the faces of his four grandsons. He snorted, “Shame on you.”
The four of them didn't dare to respond and just sat down to eat.
Old Mrs. Zhu was afraid of scaring Ji Ling, so she smiled and explained, "Your grandfather taught them the principle that you can fight, but you can't lose."
She raised her chin towards her four grandchildren and said, "Being beaten like this, it's obvious that he lost."
Ji Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Grandpa is really open-minded."
Father Zhu laughed, "Oh, in Xiaoling's eyes, I am very open-minded?"
"Yeah, if this happened in my family, my parents would have dealt with me long ago."
"You still fight?"
Father Zhu smiled, "That and Weidong complement each other perfectly. He is too dull, and even though he is married, he doesn't need to be too restrained. If there is any trouble, let Weidong handle it."
Then he pointed at the four grandchildren who were eating quietly and said, "There are four more of them. They are always available when you call."
Ji Ling agreed with a smile.
The breakfast was very lively. Miao Shaozhen was about to leave, so Grandma Zhu asked her grandchildren to see him off at the train station. Ji Ling stayed at home with Grandma Zhu. There was no one at home then, so Ji Ling told her what happened last night.
When Old Mrs. Zhu heard that Ji Ling brought her four grandchildren to the Wu family, she didn't frown. She was only unhappy when she heard that Wu Jian was harassing Ji Ling.
"He knows you're pregnant but he still pesters you. What kind of person is this? I went to find his father last time, but he still refused to change his mind. Now he's doing this again. How can this family educate their child?" Old Mrs. Zhu was very worried. "You should ask your grandfather to talk to you about this matter again."
"Grandma, no need. It's not good for Grandpa to go all the time. Neither side got the upper hand in this fight. If Grandpa goes to the Wu family again, outsiders will say that we are bullying others by taking advantage of our power. And this time he has gone to the Wu family again. I don't think he has the courage."
"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried about you getting into trouble." Old Madam Zhu said, "Being entangled by such a shallow person, who knows what kind of changes will happen."
"Don't worry, grandma. I can take care of myself."
After Ji Ling gave repeated assurances, Mrs. Zhu finally agreed.
In the next few days, Ji Ling stayed at home. She went out for a walk with Old Lady Zhu when she had nothing to do. She also met Chang Ya. This time, Jiang Zheng was with Chang Ya.
After the holiday, Ji Ling didn't expect that the two would meet again.
In addition, He Tong was following them.
From the direction the three people came out, it can be guessed that they came from Fang’s house, and not far away Pang Cong was urging the three people to hurry up.
The three of them said hello to Old Mrs. Zhu and left.
Until she met up with Pang Cong, Chang Ya was still absent-minded. She looked back at the figures of Grandma Zhu and Ji Ling.
"Chang Ya, stop looking. If Ji Ling sees you, she'll say you're targeting her. Now she's the one protected by the Zhu family." He Tong pouted, "My mom said that we girls should rely on ourselves and not rely on our bellies to gain a foothold in our husband's family. That's the least ambitious."
Jiang Zheng looked at her, and He Tong explained to her, "It's spread throughout our compound that the Zhu family married a daughter-in-law from the county town to continue the family line. Zhu Weidong has never married, perhaps because of his health problems."
He Tong also spoke the last sentence in a low voice.
Pang Cong walked in front and turned back impatiently, "Okay, whether there is a problem or not, it is the Zhu family's business, why are you talking about it behind their backs?"
"What's wrong with me just saying it? Besides, it's not me who said it, everyone else said it."
"Those are gossipers with nothing to do. Are you a gossiper?"
He Tong pursed his lips and glared at Pang Cong.
Pang Cong ignored her and chased after Chang Ya. "Sister Chang Ya, I heard you are being transferred to a new unit. Where are you going?"
"The railway hospital." Chang Ya smiled, not knowing what she was thinking of. "We should follow the engineering team and have a look around. Although the conditions are not as good as in the hospital and it will be more difficult, we can see different scenery, which is great."
"Wow, will we meet Zhu Weidong? Doesn't he also follow the construction team all year round?" He Tong widened his eyes.
