"Goodness, why did you leave Xiao Gu out alone?"
Granny Yuan used chopsticks to scoop up the noodles.
"Grandma, you rest, let me do it." Zhong Xinyi quickly stepped forward and took the chopsticks.
"Grandma, why did you cook so many noodles?" There are at least three eggs in them.
My grandmother was frugal and never touched expensive foods like noodles or eggs.
She would always say that she was too old to eat so well, it would be a waste.
Zhong Xinyi felt heartbroken upon hearing this.
Granny Yuan laughed and said, "Little Gu specially escorted you home. There's nothing good at home, just enough to cook egg noodles. That's already quite meager."
She could tell at a glance that Xiao Gu was either rich or noble, and she couldn't be rude to him.
Zhong Xinyi pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "People who eat delicacies every day wouldn't care about ordinary noodles."
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and take it out."
Grandma Yuan patted her granddaughter's arm.
Zhong Xinyi placed two bowls of noodles on the low table, glanced at the man, and said, "The noodles are ready."
After saying that, she started eating her noodles by herself, slurping them down. She missed her grandmother's noodles the most when she was in the army.
This girl is so perfunctory.
"Little Gu, sit down and eat quickly," Granny Yuan hurriedly called to Gu Shaokai.
"Grandma, sit down and eat with us."
Granny Yuan: "No need, I'm old, I can't sleep if I eat too much at night."
Gu Shaokai then picked up his chopsticks and ate the noodles. "It's delicious."
My eyes lit up; it was indeed more delicious than anything in a restaurant.
Grandma Yuan rubbed her hands together. "If it's delicious, Grandma will cook it again tomorrow."
After finishing the noodles, Zhong Xinyi was responsible for washing the dishes.
Gu Shaokai told his grandmother about everything he had just brought in.
Grandma Yuan then noticed the things piled up in the corner and was shocked. "Xiao Gu, what are you doing? Take them back another day. Grandma doesn't need anything."
Gu Shaokai: "Grandma, there's no reason to take things back with you."
Just as Granny Yuan was struggling with her decision, her granddaughter came over.
"Grandma, let's just accept it. He has plenty of money anyway."
"What are you saying?" Granny Yuan said, both amused and exasperated.
Gu Shaokai knew that the little woman was still angry. "Grandma, just consider this a small token of my appreciation."
Granny Yuan had no choice but to accept it, and she would see if she could let Xiao Gu take something back with him later.
The night outside gradually darkened, and I was tired after a long day.
Granny Yuan led Gu Shaokai to a small room. "Little Gu, the room is a bit simple. I'm sorry to trouble you to rest in this room tonight."
There are no extra rooms left in the family.
Gu Shaokai looked around. Although the room was a bit simple, it was clean, which showed that his grandmother usually cleaned it.
"Grandma, it's okay. When I was in the army, I lived in much tougher conditions."
Granny Yuan asked in surprise, "Little Gu, you used to be a soldier?"
Her son is also a member of the performing arts troupe, so it seems like the two of them are quite a good match.
"Yes, I served in the army for a few years before retiring to start a business."
When Chung Hsin-yi came out, she saw the two chatting happily again, and they were even talking about their family backgrounds.
I stepped forward and interrupted their conversation, "Grandma, it's late, you should go to sleep."
"Oh dear, it's true. Old people don't need much sleep, and they have trouble falling asleep if it's too late." Granny Yuan recovered her senses. "Little Gu, let's talk again tomorrow."
Zhong Xinyi took her grandmother's arm and went into the house; she wanted to sleep with her grandmother tonight.
It was late at night, and Gu Shaokai lay on the straw mat, not sleepy at all.
Of course, it wasn't that he disliked the environment, but rather that the thought of his little woman being separated from him by a wall made it impossible for him to fall asleep.
After taking a shower, Zhong Xinyi slipped into her grandmother's bed and scurried around like a hamster.
"You look thinner after a month apart."
Holding the baby's body, Granny Yuan immediately noticed.
Chung Hsin-yi leaned her head against her grandmother's. "Grandma, I've been training a lot lately, and I'm exercising a lot, so I'm probably slimmer, but my weight hasn't changed."
Who praises themselves like that?
Zhong Xinyi pinched her granddaughter's cheek; she really looked like her daughter, with a beautiful face.
Sigh, my dear is not young anymore, but she doesn't even have a male companion. Granny Yuan is worried.
Xiao Gu clearly has feelings for Guai Guai; she must investigate him carefully.
"Goodness, what's going on between you and Xiao Gu?"
When Zhong Xinyi heard her grandmother say that, she knew that she must have misunderstood.
She looked up and said, "Grandma, he and I are just ordinary friends. Don't try to set us up."
"Grandma can tell that Xiao Gu is interested in you."
Zhong Xinyi had no choice but to explain Gu Shaokai's family background to her grandmother.
Granny Yuan was at a loss for words. "I see."
It turns out that Xiao Gu is a second-generation military officer, and his son works in the military region where his father is stationed.
Ever since her daughter's incident, she has developed a prejudice against wealthy people.
"Go to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay," Zhong Xinyi replied, then slowly closed her eyes.
The next day, while the sky was still overcast, Granny Yuan opened her eyes to find her granddaughter sleeping soundly beside her.
So as not to disturb her, I quietly got out of bed, tucked her in, and tiptoed out.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gu also got up.
After closing the door, he finally spoke, "Xiao Gu, why are you up so early too?"
"Grandma, I'm used to it."
Gu Shaokai was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Grandma, what are you doing? Let me help you."
Grandma Yuan was about to say "no," but then changed her mind and said, "Little Gu, there's still some firewood in the yard that hasn't been chopped. Could you help your grandma?"
To be honest, apart from being rich, Xiao Gu meets all the criteria for a granddaughter's husband.
"good."
As long as he has work to do, it means his grandmother values him.
Granny Yuan stood at the door for a while and watched. Little Gu was very strong and did his work quite well.
He sighed, turned into the kitchen, grabbed his keys, opened the cabinet door, gritted his teeth, and took out two pieces of noodles.
No matter what, we can't let the children suffer.
Early in the morning, Gu Shaokai was busy with various tasks, such as chopping wood and feeding chickens, and he did them all without complaint.
Granny Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "Little Gu, have some water and rest for a while."
She handed him the sweet soup and said, "Grandma has something to tell you. Do you really want to pursue my little darling?"
Gu Shaokai paused in his drinking, quickly put down the bowl, and wiped the water from his mouth.
She stood up and said solemnly, "Yes, Grandma, I love Xinyi."
"Xiao Gu, there's no need to be so formal, please sit down."
Grandma Yuan calmed him down, saying, "Grandma has seen your sincerity and supports you from the bottom of her heart. But because of some of your childhood experiences, it may be difficult for you to start a relationship. This path will not be easy for you."
Gu Shaokai finally understood why young women are always wary of others.
"Grandma, no matter how long it takes, I'm willing to stay with her until the day she agrees to be with me."
