Most people who grew up in an orphanage are very observant.
As soon as Jiang Yu entered the ward, she immediately noticed Grandpa Jiang's dissatisfaction with her.
Explanations were useless at this point, so she decided to take the initiative.
She took a deep breath, smiled, and walked in. "Grandpa, I heard from Yun Fan that you're not feeling well. I made some chicken soup using a recipe left by the imperial physician. It's good for strengthening your body. Try drinking it and see if it helps."
Grandpa Jiang: “…”
Grandpa Jiang's words of blame were stuck in his throat, and the words of rejection were also stuck in his throat.
The imperial physician's prescription is good stuff.
With this thing, he can live a few more years and spend more time with Yun Fan and Zhou Zhou. Especially Zhou Zhou is such a young and adorable child. If he leaves so early, how will the two of them survive?
His body was damaged by fighting in wars when he was young, especially during the years of the Great Famine. In order to save food for his family, he starved to the point of being skin and bones. Later, when he retired, although his life got better, he still had many old illnesses. In order not to cause trouble to the country, he gave up his retirement in a large compound in the capital and even asked for the lowest allowance.
He paused, picked up the recipe and said, "This recipe...where did you get it from?"
Jiang Yu said nonsense seriously: "My adoptive parents gave it to me."
The recipe was actually obtained by me in my previous life when I consulted an old Chinese doctor in order to produce a live broadcast of nourishing food. It has a certain nourishing effect on the body and can be used by most people.
Grandpa Jiang paused and said, "That's thoughtful."
Jiang Yu looked well-behaved: "Grandpa, you're welcome. We are a family."
Grandpa Jiang asked, "Why didn't you show up when your parents got into trouble?"
After what happened above, his tone actually softened significantly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu's eyes turned red and she started her performance in a second.
"I know that in my grandfather's eyes, I was an ignorant child, but the parents I had lived with for so many years suddenly said they were not my parents. I was really scared and confused at the time. When I was no longer scared and confused, my parents were sobbing..."
"I once had a sincere family love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it deeply. This is the most painful thing in the world. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to my parents: I'm sorry!"
At the end of her speech, she looked grief-stricken and burst into tears.
Grandpa Jiang was most afraid of women crying. Seeing her burst into tears, he suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Stop crying! It's a great honor to admit your mistakes and then change. Everyone makes mistakes, not to mention that you are young and have not experienced much. If your parents knew, they would definitely forgive you!"
Jiang Yu looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Really? Will my parents really forgive me?"
It was no wonder that she had asked Jiang Yunfan about Grandpa Jiang's personality in advance, and then prescribed the right medicine. Sure enough, the medicine worked and the effect was obvious. She would make him something delicious when she got home as a reward.
Grandpa Jiang nodded quickly: "Yes!"
Jiang Yu put on a relieved look: "Hearing Grandpa say this, I feel a little better."
Grandpa Jiang felt relieved when he saw that she finally stopped crying.
Before, he thought that the child had no conscience, but now seeing her crying so hard and saying such a long and heartfelt speech, he felt that he might have misunderstood her.
What's more, she even took the trouble to stew chicken soup to nourish herself, so how could I have the nerve to blame her?
Jiang Yu wiped away her tears and said seriously, "There's no point in talking about the past. Now I just want to work hard to make money to support my two younger brothers. I will wholeheartedly train them to become talents useful to the country and the people, and I will also manage our family well. Please supervise me in the future, Grandpa!"
"Very good! It's rare for you to have such awareness at such a young age. Keep it up."
Jiang Yu was full of fighting spirit: "Grandpa, I will devote my whole heart to the Jiang family and strive to train my younger brother into an outstanding talent to contribute to the development of the country!"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang finally nodded with satisfaction, reached out to open his collar, and took out the pension money inside.
He had originally planned to give the pension and his workstation to someone in the Jiang family's hometown, so that after he passed away, Yun Fan and Zhou Zhou wouldn't be left unattended and bullied. Now that Jiang Yu wasn't as unreliable as he had previously inquired about, it didn't matter if he gave her the pension; it was all their Jiang family's property anyway.
Jiang Yu reached out to take the pension, sincerely thanked Grandpa Jiang again and made promises, then fed the chicken soup to Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang let her leave, after all, there were children at home.
After Jiang Yu left, Grandpa Jiang finally reacted. He patted his head and murmured, "Why was I fooled by this devilish girl? Is it because she looks like her grandmother? Seeing her cry, I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted? ... Old woman, how are you over there? Your son and daughter-in-law have gone down to accompany you. Are you not so lonely anymore? Please wait for me a little longer. Don't leave so quickly. I miss you. I don't know if you will still recognize me after this old man goes down. Will you dislike me?"
Jiang Yu walked out of the ward with the pension, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and sniffed the envelope.
It smells like money, so sweet, so good. For a while, I won't have to worry about money anymore, and I'll even have enough to start a small business. But once things are settled here, I'll have to find a new house in the city. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain when my belly gets bigger, and there'll be a lot of gossip, which won't be good for the baby's growth. Plus, it's more convenient to run a small stall in the city. Salaries are higher there, and there's a lot of traffic. As long as the food is delicious, there's no problem selling it. Although there are a lot of people here, few people spend extra money on food; most people eat at home to save money.
But acting was too tiring and hard, so she decided to buy herself some delicious food to fill her stomach.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Yu went straight to the state-owned hotel.
**
When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, it was past mealtime and there were no other guests in the restaurant.
Two waitresses were sitting nearby chatting.
"Comrade, do you have any meat left?"
In order to get things done as quickly as possible, she was exhausted today, and because of the special circumstances recently, she was getting hungry quickly.
"No, no, it's past dinner time. You still want to eat meat? What the hell is that?"
The short-haired waitress responded impatiently.
With this kind of service attitude, if it were put in modern times, people would drown it in spit in minutes, but in this era, waiters are so proud!
Jiang Yu wouldn't get angry at other people's rudeness: "So what else is there to eat now?"
Another waiter with long hair said, "We have mung bean soup and noodles. Do you want any?"
"Yes, give me one of each."
The long-haired waitress said, "Mung bean soup is 11 cents a bowl, and noodles are 9 cents a piece, a total of 20 cents. In addition, there are two taels of grain coupons and one tael of sugar coupons."
It’s such a bargain.
Jiang Yu quickly took out the money and ticket.
The long-haired waitress took the money and ticket, brought the food over, and then resumed chatting.
