Unlike Hu Xianghua and Fang Hongjiang, Old Mrs. Fang and Old Man Fang feel much more at ease now. At least now they don't have to worry about whether Hu Xianghua likes the food or not when they cook, nor do they have to worry about being criticized by Hu Xianghua.
Now they cook what their eldest grandson likes to eat.
Their grandchildren are the most important.
Fang Xiang smelled stewing meat as soon as he got home from school.
"I got some of this in exchange from someone else. I'll buy you more later!"
Old man Fang said with a smile.
Old man Fang is very happy now. His troublesome son has moved out. Although his wife was in a bad mood before, she has recovered now. There is really nothing to be unhappy about.
Fang Xiang watched his grandparents pick meat into his bowl with chopsticks and said hurriedly, "Grandpa and grandma, you guys eat. I'll just eat the vegetables. You guys should eat more meat!"
For Fang Xiang, nothing is more important than the health of his grandparents.
After all, his grandparents are his only remaining support.
Old Madam Fang said, "There's not much meat this time, so you'll have to eat it first. I'll ask your grandfather to go to town and get some more. We'll definitely eat well in the future, and we won't let you down! Don't worry about eating!"
Every time Mrs. Fang saw her grandson looking thinner than his peers, her heart tightened. However, she never dared to prepare anything extra for Fang Xiang and could only watch with pain.
But things are different now.
The three of them live together, so the most important thing is whether Fang Xiang can eat and drink well.
Fang Xiang pursed his lips, rubbed his hands, and said nervously, "But meat is really expensive..."
The three of them lived separately from his father, which meant that they would no longer have his father's money to spend. Although most of the money his father earned was in Hu Xianghua's hands, Hu Xianghua would still contribute part of the household expenses. After all, she also wanted to eat and drink well.
Now...
"Don't worry, even if Grandpa farms, he can still support you and your grandma. We won't be unable to afford even this little bit of meat!"
Old Man Fang patted his grandson's shoulder.
Although he is old, he is still a good farmer and can provide for their food and drink by growing vegetables and crops.
Old Mrs. Fang also said: "You don't have to worry about these things. What you have to do now is to study hard, okay? Other things have nothing to do with you. Grandpa and grandma are still waiting for you to pass the exam to go to the county, so that we can also follow you to visit the county town!"
Old Man Fang also nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Fang Xiang could only quickly promise that he would study hard and would never let his grandparents down.
As he spoke, he started eating the meat in big mouthfuls.
The meat was stewed until it was crispy, tender and fragrant, and even the potato chips and beans that came with it were incredibly delicious, with an aroma that was so addictive.
"Oh! That's right!" Old Mrs. Fang smiled.
They were really happy to see their grandson eating so happily.
Even if life is a little difficult, it is worth it as long as my grandson is well.
After dinner, Old Mrs. Fang asked Fang Xiang to take a nap so that he would be energetic in the afternoon.
Old Man Fang went outside to pour out the dirty water used to wash the pot. When he looked up, he saw Fang Hongjiang standing there.
"dad……"
Fang Hongjiang shouted a little awkwardly.
Old Man Fang just glanced at him without saying a word.
"Dad, have you eaten yet?" Fang Hongjiang hurried over. "If you haven't cooked yet, we still have some left in the pot."
When Old Man Fang heard this, his eyes changed.
Fang Hongjiang felt a little uneasy, not understanding why his father suddenly looked at him like that.
"Do you know what day it is today?" Old Man Fang suddenly asked.
Fang Hongjiang was stunned for a moment.
"Today... is today your birthday?"
Old Man Fang immediately sneered.
"It seems that not only can you not remember other things, you can't remember our birthdays either."
Fang Hongjiang's face suddenly turned pale with a red hue of embarrassment.
He... really didn't remember.
Old Man Fang turned around and was about to leave.
"Dad! You haven't told me what day it is!"
Fang Hongjiang didn't care about the embarrassment and could only quickly stop Old Man Fang.
Old Man Fang didn't beat around the bush anymore.
On his wrinkled and skinny face, his eyes were small but very focused, and at this moment they were very cold.
"Today is the first day of school for Shoko!"
!!!
Fang Hongjiang was stunned.
Old Man Fang shook his head when he saw him like this.
They didn't even know that their son was going to school today, and they didn't even think about whether they, the old couple, would cook for their eldest grandson on a day like this.
If they really cared about the fact that there was still food left, they should have come and told them before eating, instead of saying that after they had finished eating.
It's really heartbreaking.
Fang Hongjiang watched his father turn around and walk into the house, and his shoulders immediately drooped.
He really didn't know Fang Xiang was going to school today...
Hu Xianghua, who was at home, saw Fang Hongjiang go out and come back after a while. She certainly knew where Fang Hongjiang went, and it couldn't be anywhere other than across the street.
But I didn't expect him to come back so soon with such a gloomy face.
"Hongjiang." Hu Xianghua hurried over.
Fang Hongjiang walked into the house with heavy steps and sat down on the chair by the door.
Hu Xianghua hurriedly brought a teacup of water.
"Drink some water, Hongjiang."
Fang Hongjiang didn't touch the teacup, but whispered, "Did you know that today is the first day of school for Xiangzi..."
Hu Xianghua didn't expect Fang Hongjiang to suddenly ask such a question.
Maybe he just saw Old Man Fang and the others, or maybe he saw Fang Xiang.
Of course Hu Xianghua knew.
After all, she was the one who didn't ask Fang Xiang to take the junior high school entrance exam, so she must know exactly when school starts.
But now she subconsciously felt that she couldn't say that she knew.
She smiled and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Fang Hongjiang scratched his head and looked very annoyed.
"As a father, I don't even know when my son will start school. I really am..."
Seeing him like this, Hu Xianghua hurriedly advised: "This is not your fault, Hongjiang. We have been busy moving and cleaning the house these two days. We must have accidentally forgotten about Xiangzi's schooling. I forgot about it too. I can't blame you!"
Fang Hongjiang seemed to have found some reason when he heard this. He raised his head and said in confusion:
"is that so?"
Hu Xianghua nodded firmly.
"certainly!"
Fang Hongjiang's expression softened a little after he convinced himself with this reason.
Yeah, too busy.
If he wasn't so busy, he would definitely not forget!
That’s right.
That's definitely the case.
Next time, he will definitely remember it!
Hu Xianghua couldn't help but curl her lips.
