Chuxia put on her coat, got out of bed and said, "It's all right. See when grandpa is free."

She walked to the reddish-brown dressing table in the room. In the middle was a large oval mirror. There was nothing on the table except a wooden comb of the same color as the table.

Chuxia was about to pick up the comb when a bony hand beside her had already picked it up. A gentle voice rang beside her, "I have to hurry back to work today. I'll find a free time in a few days and take a morning off. Then we can go together."

Cen Zhengnian also wanted to visit his grandfather today, but he couldn't put down his work. In fact, he should have left by now.

But Chuxia was in Beijing for the first time and didn't know anything. He always had to tell her about the situation at home before leaving.

Chuxia had no objection. Cen Zhengnian must know more about his grandfather's house than she did. After all, they had to visit the elders, and they could do so at any time.

Cen Zhengnian had experience combing Chuxia's hair. While he gently combed her hair, he carefully told her where to buy things from nearby families.

In fact, Cen Zhengnian knew nothing about these things a few days ago. He had asked Jiang Zhida in advance.

The house where Chuxia lived was located in the southern part of Dongcheng District, which was also in the central area of ​​Beijing, so it was very convenient to go anywhere.

Cen Zhengnian's grandfather's home was also in Dongcheng District, but it was in the Dongsi area, which belonged to the southeast of Dongcheng District, and was a certain distance away from where Chuxia and her friends lived.

"Grandpa's family has been there for a long time. When he was young, there were many houses in his family. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, only the one he lives in now and the one we live in now, which was given to my mother as a dowry

, were kept. The others were all handed over. When Grandpa had an accident, the house there was taken away, and it was not returned until a few years ago." When it was returned, the house was in a state of disrepair, and several families were still living in it.

The Jiang family took back the house and tidied it up, because it was the old father's wish. He and Grandma Cen Zhengnian lived in that yard for most of their lives and had a lot of feelings for it. They were reluctant to let the house be destroyed like this.

Cen Zhengnian combed Chuxia's hair and asked her what kind of braid she wanted.

Chu Xia was fascinated by him talking about the old house at home, and said, "Just tie your hair up casually."

Cen Zhengnian pulled Chu Xia's hair up and tied it into a high ponytail. It didn't hurt her at all, but it was a little tight.

Chu Xia pulled the hair on her scalp outwards in front of the mirror, and tidied the loose hair in front of her forehead. This look was good, and it made her look younger and more energetic.

Today she happened to be wearing a goose yellow jacket with bell-bottom pants that were not too exaggerated. She stood next to Cen Zhengnian, who was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The difference between our styles is so big now!"

One is serious and elegant, and the other is young and beautiful, like a student who is about to go to school. If they were to tell others that they were a couple, people would definitely think that Cen Zhengnian was an old cow eating young grass.

However, he is indeed older than her, four years older than her, but his face can't tell his real age. If Cen Zhengnian didn't dress like this, and changed into clothes similar to the style of early summer, no one would think that there was an age difference between them.

Cen Zhengnian understood what Chuxia said, he reached out and held her hand, smiled and said: "It's okay, this doesn't affect our relationship as husband and wife."

Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, nodded repeatedly and said: "You are right."

"I have to go back to the unit now, I bought the meal and put it in the kitchen, you and Anan remember to eat." Cen Zhengnian and Chuxia walked to the yard, he raised his hand to check the time and said.

Chuxia also leaned over to take a look, frowned and said: "So urgent? It's only 7:30, have you eaten?"

Cen Zhengnian ate two buns, he nodded, reached out and put Chuxia's hair that was accidentally thrown to the front to the back, his hand stayed on her hair, let go of her and said: "The work of the research institute is busy, I only have one day off."

Yesterday was a leave that Cen Zhengnian reluctantly asked for, and he had to make up for yesterday's work after returning.

Chuxia understood his job, turned around and ran into the house, saying, "Wait a moment."

Soon she ran out again with a big cloth bag in her hand, put it into Cen Zhengnian's hand and said, "Here are the beef jerky and snacks I brought from home. Take them to the office and eat with your colleagues."

Chuxia could imagine how Cen Zhengnian worked, forgetting to eat and sleep. In case she was too hungry, she could take some snacks that were easy to carry with her so she could eat them at any time.

"Okay." Cen Zhengnian took it, turned around and walked a few steps outside, then stopped and came back.

Chuxia thought he had forgotten to bring something, and just as she was about to speak, Cen Zhengnian reached out and hugged her, "I'll find time to go home."

Chuxia was stunned by the hug, but when she heard his words, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said "um" softly.

Cen Zhengnian let go of Chuxia and didn't look back this time.

Chuxia turned around to wash up, then went to the kitchen to see the breakfast that Cen Zhengnian bought.

He knew the tastes of Chuxia and Cen Huaian. They didn't like to eat greasy food in the morning. Chuxia liked salty food, while Cen Huaian liked sweet food.

Cen Zhengnian bought salty tofu pudding and soy milk, as well as buns.

There was a pot on the coal stove, and the rice was still hot in the pot. Chuxia covered the pot and went to wake Cen Huaian up.

Cen Huaian rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. He looked up and looked around. He didn't see the person he wanted to see. Disappointment appeared in his eyes. He looked at Chuxia and asked in a childish voice: "Mom, where is Dad?"

Chuxia found clothes for him and asked him to put on his clothes quickly and said: "Your dad went to the unit. Get up quickly and eat."

The disappointment in Cen Huaian's eyes became more obvious. He tried hard to recall how he fell asleep yesterday. He only remembered half of the story his father told him, and he didn't remember anything after that.

He got dressed and got out of bed, and hurried to the living room. Chuxia had already taken out the meal. Hearing Cen Huaian running over, she said without turning her head: "Go wash up before eating."

Cen Huaian turned around and ran to the bathroom. When he ran over again, his hair on his forehead was a little wet, but his face was very energetic.

Two puppies circled around Cen Huaian, following him wherever he went.

Chuxia was eating steamed buns and drinking tofu pudding, Cen Huaian sat opposite her, lowered his head and took a sip of soy milk and said, "Mom, it's bland, can I put sugar in it?"

"Go get it from your luggage." Sugar was still expensive at the time, so Chuxia brought the sugar from home in a jar.

Seeing Cen Huaian scooping a large spoonful, Chuxia held his arm, shook off most of the sugar and said, "You can't eat so much sugar, it will ruin your teeth."

Cen Huaian looked at the small spoonful of sugar, and although he felt it was too little, he was satisfied to have something to eat.

The soy milk with sugar tasted sweet, and Cen Huaian drank it very happily. He ate the buns himself, and wanted to secretly pinch off some to feed Huangzi and Heizi.

Chuxia said: "Puppies can't eat too much salt, don't feed them the stuffing."

"Yeah." Cen Huaian originally only pinched the bun skins to give to the puppies, and was afraid that his mother would see it. Now that he heard Chuxia talking, he didn't have to be afraid.

The puppies tasted a little meat on the skin and wanted to eat more. They rubbed their little master's legs frantically and "hummed", but no matter how they rubbed, they only got a little bun skin.

"Mom, when will Dad come home again?" Cen Huaian, who only stayed with his father for a short while yesterday, was not satisfied. He didn't even show his father the trophy he won.

He wanted to sleep after taking a bath last night, so he only told his father that he won the first place, and he wanted to take it out to show his father today.

Chuxia didn't know either. She drank the last mouthful of tofu pudding and said, "It shouldn't be too long. When dad is not at home, you can circle the days he is not at home on the calendar, and when he comes back, tell him, 'Dad, I missed you for so many days', and show him the calendar."

Cen Huaian frowned and said, "I don't want to."

He couldn't say "I miss you" to his father, although he missed his father very much.

Chuxia smiled as if she knew through him, and said without saying a word, when she bought new calendars, she would buy two.

After breakfast, Chuxia went into the room to pack her luggage. Most of the clothes and other things had been hung in the closet by Cen Zhengnian, leaving only some things that Cen Zhengnian didn't touch because he was afraid that Chuxia wouldn't be able to find them.

Cen Huaian followed her to put things in the house. When they were almost done, Chuxia put the luggage and suitcase in the corner under the table in the house, turned around and said to Cen Huaian: "Let's go to your room and record your current height."

She took a pencil and asked Cen Huaian to lean against the wall, and drew a line on the wall: "This will be your new height wall in the future."

Cen Huaian looked at the line, quietly tiptoed and drew it, pursed his lips and thought: He must eat more and grow taller quickly!

After doing all this, Chuxia didn't think about going out for a walk, and took Cen Huaian to study at home. Although she was reading in the car, her efficiency was definitely not as good as at home.

An An did Sudoku for a while, and Chuxia asked him not to read for a long time, so he ran out to play with the two puppies.

The two puppies had just been running around in the yard, and now they were probably hungry again, biting Cen Huaian's trouser legs and leading him to the place where they were eating.

They had just eaten in the living room and knew there was food there.

Cen Huaian also wanted to drink malted milk, he looked at Chuxia who was doing the test paper seriously, put his finger to his mouth and said "hmm" to the puppies, and quietly led them into the living room.

The ear room next to the west room is the study, Chuxia was studying in it, and didn't pay any attention to the little movements of Cen Huaian and the puppies.

Chuxia placed all the snacks in the living room, Cen Huaian took the malted milk from the table down, brewed a cup, he took a sip, and poured a little into the dog bowl.

The two puppies quickly ran over and licked it with their tongues. It was gone in one lick, and then they continued to "hum" at Cen Huaian, wagging their tails happily.

Cen Huaian went to get another piece of oven fruit and soaked it in maltose. He took a bite and quietly gave a bite to the puppy. He also looked out the door from time to time, for fear of being discovered by Chu Xia.

He was doing something bad when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Jiang Zhida's voice came from the door, calling out loudly: "Cousin! An An! Open the door! Cousin!"

Chu Xia heard the noise and had already walked into the yard to answer.

Cen Huaian hurriedly ate the oven fruit and drank the maltose. The puppies surrounded him and cried anxiously for food. He broke off some and threw it to them to tell them not to cry.

He saw that the fur around the puppies' mouths was stained with a light yellow color of malted milk. He looked around, took the rag on the table, quickly wiped the mouths of the two puppies, and patted his chest to feel relieved.

Chuxia opened the door of her house. Jiang Zhida was standing outside. He was dressed differently today. He wore a leather jacket, bell-bottom pants with exaggerated legs, and a pair of frog-shaped sunglasses on his face. He looked like the most fashionable young man in the 1980s.

It was very different from the formal look yesterday. If it weren't for the voice, Chuxia would not have recognized that this was Jiang Zhida on the street.

"Cousin, what do you think of my outfit?" As he said this, he took off his sunglasses and made a cool gesture.

Chuxia: ...

If it weren't for Jiang Zhida's face, this outfit really made Chuxia think he was some street thug.

But to be honest, Jiang Zhida's outfit was still okay, not too exaggerated, and it was indeed the outfit that young people who pursue fashion like now.

She nodded and said, "It's good, it suits your temperament. Why did you come at this time? If you are looking for Zhengnian, he is not at home now. He just went to work this morning."

Jiang Zhida put on his sunglasses again, followed Chuxia home and said, "I know, it was my second cousin who called my grandfather and said that you will come home in a few days. My grandfather can't wait and especially wants to see his great-grandson, so he sent me to pick you up." After

Cen Zhengnian arrived at the unit, he felt that he should call his grandfather to let him know, so that his grandfather would not misunderstand that Chuxia was unwilling to go to the Jiang family.

Who knew that his grandpa would immediately say after hearing this: "It doesn't matter whether you come or not. Anyway, I don't know how many times I have seen you. As long as An An and Chu Xia come over, it will be fine! You just work hard at the unit. I will ask Da Zi to pick them up. It just so happens that your aunt-in-law sent some fresh vegetables today. Let An An and Chu Xia try them."

Before Cen Zhengnian could stop him, his grandpa had hung up the phone.

Now that he was at the unit, he definitely couldn't go back and could only go to work first. At first, he was worried whether Chu Xia and An An would be scared by his grandpa's actions.

But once Cen Zhengnian started working, he soon devoted himself to his work and forgot about his worries.

At this time, Chu Xia had already walked into the yard with Jiang Zhida. After hearing what he said, her first reaction was, are you going to see grandpa so soon? She is not prepared for anything.

Moreover, Cen Zhengnian was not here. Except for Jiang Zhida, she didn't know anyone from the Jiang family.

When they got married, the capital was too far away from Liangzhou. Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian got married in a hurry. At that time, the Jiang family had not been rehabilitated, so the Jiang family only knew that they were married and could not come. It has

only been two years since the Jiang family was rehabilitated and reinstated, and the family has recovered a little bit.

Jiang Zhida didn't know Chuxia's sudden nervousness. He looked around in the yard, but didn't see Cen Huaian. Even the two puppies were gone.

He asked Chu Xia curiously: "Cousin, where is An An? And where are Huang Zi and Hei Zi?"

Chu Xia's thoughts were interrupted. She looked around and frowned: "He just said he was going to play with Huang Zi and Hei Zi? I didn't hear the door ring, so he shouldn't have run out."

She shouted Cen Huaian's name loudly, and just after she shouted, Cen Huaian ran out of the living room in a panic, pulling two puppies: "Mom, I'm here."

Chu Xia looked at the direction he ran out, with suspicion in her eyes: "What are you doing in the living room with the puppies?"

Cen Huaian looked at Chu Xia innocently: "I went to the living room to make malt milk."

When Chu Xia heard what he said, she knew that he didn't say it completely. His fingers were still constantly clicking on the dog leash, and it was obvious that he was feeling guilty.

"Not only you drank, they drank too, right?"

When Cen Huaian heard his uncle's voice, he knew he couldn't hide it from his mother. He nodded and said, "I gave them a little."

"Did you also feed them some snacks?"

Jiang Zhida stood by, teasing the puppy and said, "It's a bit of a waste for a little dog to eat snacks, but if I had such a smart dog, I guess I would be willing to feed them delicious food, cousin, don't be angry." "

I'm not angry, it's the puppy that can't eat too sweet things, it will be a burden on its body."

Chu Xia and An An said this, but when the puppy looked at him with wet eyes, he couldn't help but share his food with them.

"Mom, I didn't feed them a lot, just a little bit of oven fruit." He also stretched out his little finger to compare.

Chuxia rubbed his head: "Don't feed them these things often."

It was the first time that Jiang Zhida heard such a statement. In his impression, local dogs eat everything, so feeding dogs is just to give them some leftovers.

In fact, Chuxia also feeds leftovers, but she usually soaks some steamed bread in hot water and adds some vegetables, and does not feed the puppies too much salty food.

"Cousin, how do you know this?"

Chuxia paused as she touched Cen Huaian's hair. She forgot that there are no such things about raising dogs now.

She took her hand back as if nothing had happened and said: "I heard it from other dog owners."

She did not lie. She did hear it from other dog owners, but they were not dog owners of this era.

It was not a big deal. Jiang Zhida forgot about it as soon as he heard it and began to urge Chuxia and An'an: "Cousin, hurry up and pack up. Grandpa is looking forward to your visit at home."

Cen Huaian looked at Jiang Zhida, then at Chuxia: "Mom, are we going to great-grandmother's house?"

"Yes. Go change into that dark blue coat and a pair of clean shoes."

Chuxia looked at her outfit and felt that there was nothing inappropriate about it. It was just that the bell-bottom pants might be unacceptable to the elderly, although the bell-bottom pants she bought did not have exaggerated legs.

She frowned and asked Jiang Zhida: "Can Grandpa accept your outfit?"

"Yes!" Jiang Zhida nodded immediately and said: "Grandpa is very open-minded, but my dad can't accept it, otherwise I wouldn't have been forced to wear that outfit yesterday, which made me feel so uncomfortable." Chuxia

understood that Grandpa Cen Zhengnian was a tolerant old man, and it was fine for her to wear this outfit, but she still went into the house to change into a pair of leather shoes to look more formal, and then got in the car with An An.

"Da Zi, don't go home first, take me to a department store or other places that sell things, I'll go buy something."

Jiang Zhida instantly understood what Chuxia meant, he was just about to say that there was everything at home and there was no need to buy anything.

But he turned around and saw the nervousness in Chuxia's eyes. Jiang Zhida was also a shrewd person. He didn't grow up smoothly. He also read people's faces and met many different people.

It was the first time for my cousin's wife to meet the elders of their in-laws. They didn't care if she came empty-handed, but my cousin's wife would care, and other people would also gossip.

Jiang Zhida, who was very familiar with the capital, immediately said: "Okay! There is a department store on our way, I can just stop by."

Arriving at the department store, Chuxia went in to buy some snacks. After asking Jiang Zhida, she learned that the old man loved to drink tea, so she bought the best tea leaves.

Today is not Sunday, and my grandfather is the only one at home, and there are a few young people who have free jobs, such as Jiang Zhida.

However, the Jiang family would come over for lunch at noon. After all, it was Chuxia's first visit, and they had to come over to meet her out of courtesy.

Knowing that no one in the family smoked, Chuxia did not buy cigarettes, but bought wine, candy and other things that children like to eat.

In addition, she went to the nearby grocery store to buy several kinds of fruits. Jiang Zhida kept saying that it was enough, it was too much.

Chuxia didn't listen to him, and just asked him to take care of An An, and help her get some of the things she couldn't carry.

After buying the gifts for the visit, Jiang Zhida got into the car and said, "Cousin, you really bought too much. Grandpa will definitely say you're wasting money."

Chuxia smiled and said nothing. She could listen to other people's polite words but she couldn't take them seriously. If she was visiting for the first time, she should buy enough things. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to give them away. It would be better not to buy anything.

She didn't know what kind of people in the Jiang family were, but she knew what she should do. It was her first time to visit an elder, so she had to be polite.

The car finally arrived at the Jiang family. It was also a vermilion gate, but it was already open. There was an old man with white hair and eyebrows sitting at the door, and two young people, a man and a woman, were standing next to him.

As soon as the car stopped, the old man stood up immediately. The young man immediately supported him. He shook off the man's arm and walked over with a cane, looking energetic and smiling kindly.

As soon as Chuxia and An'an got off the car, they were greeted by the old man's friendly smile: "Chuxia and An'an, right?"

Chuxia was hesitating whether to call someone, but was afraid of making the wrong person. Jiang Zhida had already gotten off the car and quickly called out: "Grandpa! Why are you at the door? Cousin, this is my grandpa."

Chuxia then nodded politely to the old man: "Grandpa." She lowered her head and said to An'an, who was holding her hand: "An'an, call me great-grandma."

Chuxia still remembered her grandpa's name. The calligraphy she saw in the Northwest Team had his seal printed on it - Jiang Zhongmin.

"Great-grandma." An'an looked at Grandpa Jiang, with curiosity and a little nervousness in his eyes. His hand tightly held Chuxia's, and he stopped talking after calling.

When Grandpa Jiang heard Cen Huaian calling him, he smiled even more and stretched out his weathered hands and placed them on An An's head.

"Good boy, I'm your great-grandmother."

Then he took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand: "This is from your great-grandmother!"

"Thank you, great-grandmother."

Cen Huaian looked down at the red envelope, which was as bulgy as the one given by his cousin. He really wanted to open it and see how much money was in it.

But yesterday, his mother told him that he should not open the red envelope in front of others, as it was impolite. He should just look at it when he got home.

So An An put the red envelope in his pocket and patted it with his little hands.

"Grandpa, let's go in." The young man who had been standing next to Grandpa Jiang said, and Jiang Zhida quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go in and talk, why are we standing at the door?"

Chu Xia went to pick up the gifts she bought, Cen Huaian helped her carry them, and Jiang Zhida also helped from the side.

When Grandpa Jiang saw that Chu Xia bought so many things, he shook his head helplessly: "Chu Xia, why did you bring so many gifts? You don't have to be so polite, I don't care about these."

Chu Xia smiled and said: "Grandpa, it's one thing that you don't care, but it's another thing that I don't buy. This is my first visit. If I do something wrong, you can forgive me for these gifts."

When she said this, Grandpa Jiang immediately laughed and liked Chu Xia even more. He thought it was really good for Cen Zhengnian to marry this daughter-in-law. She is generous and polite, and she is likable in what she says and does.

An An was also taught very well by her. She would not just watch her mother busy, but would also help her mother with things, and she was very polite.

If Chuxia knew what Grandpa Jiang was thinking, she would definitely say: If you saw Cen Huaian a year ago, you would definitely not say such a thing.

When the group entered the gate, Chuxia found that this was also a two-story house. There was no backyard at the back, but traces of partitioning could be seen.

Grandpa Jiang entered the living room and asked Chuxia and An'an to sit down quickly. Then he introduced them to the two young people who had just been with him.

"This is my eldest grandson, Magistrate Jiang. Next to him is his wife, Luo Peng."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Magistrate Jiang's attitude towards Chuxia was neither cold nor warm. There was no fault to be found, and there was not much enthusiasm. It could not be said that he disliked it either.

Compared to him, Luo Peng was much gentler. He also spoke to her with a smile on his face. He was obviously a lady from a famous family. He spoke softly and politely, and his voice was gentle and gentle.

"Cousin, cousin." Chu Xia also smiled and greeted the two.

Jiang Zhida drank a sip of tea and said with a sneer on his face: "Cousin, don't mind my eldest brother's cold face. He is like this. He is the same to everyone, including my parents."

Chu Xia listened to what he said, smiled and shook her head and said: "How can I be so stingy."

Besides, she is not RMB, it is impossible for everyone to like her. Even if she is RMB, there are still people who hate the smell of copper. After

Chu Xia finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang also said to Chu Xia: "My eldest grandson's temper is indeed not pleasing. Chu Xia, it's okay if you mind, just tell me directly, and Grandpa will help you teach him a lesson."

Magistrate Jiang called out from the side: "Grandpa." Although his voice was still cold and indifferent, Chu Xia could hear the helplessness in his tone.

Grandpa Jiang actually didn't know Chu Xia's temper before, and was afraid that Chu Xia would be restrained in his home because of her introverted personality. He doesn't have his old wife to help him at home now.

But he has lived to such an old age and has his own wisdom. He has already thought about how to say something to ease the atmosphere if Chu Xia can't adapt.

Seeing Chuxia so generous and well-mannered, not at all uncomfortable, and feeling very comfortable in his home, Grandpa Jiang was relieved and admired her even more.

He knew that Chuxia was learning high school knowledge and thinking about the college entrance examination, so he asked her how her preparations were going.

Jiang Zhida and Jiang Zhishu heard about this for the first time. Jiang Zhishu would not show his emotions, but Jiang Zhida was not. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Chuxia in surprise: "Cousin, are you going to take the college entrance examination?"

Chuxia was not surprised to see Jiang Zhida's expression, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I don't have enough education, and I want to further my studies."

This is what she said to the outside world. Jiang Zhida gave Chuxia a thumbs up: "Peppa Pig! " I admire you. When the college entrance examination was resumed, I took three years to get into a junior college. Even so, my mother still thinks that our family is very lucky. "

Grandpa Chiang's face fell when he heard this: "How dare you say that? Among the children in our family, who else but you is so shameful!"

After saying this, Grandpa Chiang instantly felt regretful. He was afraid that Chuxia's grades were not good enough. What if she failed the first time and this statement hit her hard?

He quickly added: "But it's not bad to be able to get into a junior college after three years of taking the exam. Chuxia, don't be nervous about the exam. If we fail this year, we can try again next year."

Chuxia almost couldn't help laughing, and quickly lowered her head to drink water. Grandpa Chiang's change in attitude and double standards really made people laugh!

Jiang Zhida was also shocked when he heard his words: "Grandpa! That's not what you said to me at the beginning. You said that if I fail the exam again, I won't be your grandson anymore!"

"Shut up!" Grandpa Jiang stared at him, wondering why his grandson was so tactless today.

Chuxia noticed that Grandpa Jiang's eyes were afraid of putting pressure on her, so she drank a sip of water and said with a smile in her eyes: "Grandpa, I'm doing well in my review, so I don't need to come back for another year."

Cen Huaian, who was eating a candy next to him, also nodded immediately, and said vaguely: "Grandma, my mother is the first in the school, very good!"

His mother is so good, of course he has to let his great-grandma and cousin know.

Chu Xia never told Grandpa Jiang about her grades. Every time she wrote to him, she would express her gratitude and send him some gifts. In the letters, she would say that her grades were improving steadily.

Grandpa Jiang did not expect Chu Xia's grades to be so good. Jiang Zhishu looked at her with some surprise.

Jiang Zhida's eyes widened: "Cousin, you are too awesome!"

No. 1 in the school! Moreover, Liangzhou is the provincial capital, and the high school is not bad. Moreover, no matter which school you are the first in, you will have no problem getting into college.

Chu Xia smiled modestly: "I will continue to work hard."

Luo Peng smiled softly beside him and said: "Cousin, you are too modest. When I was in school, let alone the first in the school, I didn't even get the first in the class."

As she said that, she glanced at her husband.

At that time, she and Zhishu Jiang were in the same class, and he was always the top student in the class and the whole school.

Unfortunately, they could not take the college entrance examination when they graduated. Later, Zhishu Jiang followed him to the countryside, and she was arranged by her parents to work in a factory.

Later, the college entrance examination was resumed, and they were admitted to the same university, which led to the subsequent events.

Grandpa Jiang also said, "Yes, what you need to pay attention to now is to combine work and rest, and don't push yourself too hard. By the way, I got the new test paper, and you should bring it when you go home."

Chuxia smiled more sincerely: "Thank you, Grandpa."

After talking about Chuxia's grades, Grandpa Jiang finally talked about what he cared about most, An An's Go learning.

Chuxia asked Cen Huaian to tell him about his current learning situation.

Although Cen Huaian was small, he spoke clearly and logically. He spoke in a very organized way. He explained clearly about his learning of Go, including that he had just won the Liangzhou Children's Cup Go Tournament.

Jiang Zhida's face was numb. He looked at Chuxia and then at Cen Huaian. Then he thought about Cen Zhengnian who was working on a confidential project. He shook his head and whispered to himself: "How come everyone in this family is so good at hitting people!"

He made him look like a waste. He dared to guarantee that when Chuxia and An'an returned home, his grandfather and father would chase him with crutches and benches and scold him for being unlearned.

Yes, his grandfather didn't care about his clothes and appearance. He also said that young people should have personality and that young people should not be crazy.

But in terms of study, he and his father couldn't stand him, because he was too good at studying at home. No matter his brothers and sisters, they were better than him.

A family of scholars would not tolerate the existence of poor students.

When Jiang Zhida was thinking about these things, Grandpa Jiang had already agreed with Cen Huaian to play a game of chess.

Several people came to Grandpa Jiang's study.

As soon as she entered, Chuxia saw a dazzling array of books. The walls in the middle and on both sides were all books, including books from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Grandpa Jiang noticed that Chuxia's astonished eyes fell on those books, and he said with some pride and complacency: "I think that being able to protect these books back then is the most fulfilling thing I have done in my life."

As for how to protect them, of course it is Grandpa Jiang's secret. He didn't say it, and Chuxia didn't ask.

"Grandpa, can I read it?"

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Read whatever you like, just don't tear it."

Cen Huaian also looked at the books. He saw the Go book and felt a little itchy, but he still had to play Go with his great-grandmother, so he put his mind aside and sat down.

In addition to Chuxia and Jiang Zhida, Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng also knew how to play Go. The two of them stood aside and watched.

Chuxia found a medical book that had been lost in later generations, and sat down to read it as if it were a treasure.

Only Jiang Zhida was fidgeting. He hated reading the most, and he didn't like to play with words, and he didn't like to play Go and other brain-intensive things.

He turned around and around, and finally stopped behind Chu Xia, and saw the words written on the page of her book: syncope in children...

"Cousin, isn't this a medical book? Why are you reading this?"

Medical books were a completely unfamiliar field for Jiang Zhida, and he would never be able to explore it in his life. Moreover, Chu Xia had never studied medicine, so he couldn't understand what she could understand.

Chu Xia said without raising her head: "I am more interested in medicine. Da Zi, go watch An An play chess."

The hidden message: Don't disturb her reading here.

Jiang Zhida understood what she meant, touched his nose and walked away, and walked around the study again, and finally stopped behind Cen Huaian.

He couldn't understand a single step, so he had to look at Jiang Zhishu: "Brother, who will win between An An and Grandpa?"

Jiang Zhishu looked at him and said, "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word."

Jiang Zhida didn't care about these rules, and continued to approach Jiang Zhishu: "Brother, talk to me, talk, speak softly..."

Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang's sharp eyes pierced through him: "Da Zi, shut up!"

Jiang Zhida still knew when his grandfather was really angry and when he was pretending to be angry. For example, he couldn't provoke him again at this moment.

As long as Cen Huaian played chess, all his mind would be on the chessboard, and he couldn't sense any movement around him. He also didn't hear what Jiang Zhida said just now.

Grandpa Jiang looked at him in this state, with both surprise and satisfaction in his eyes, especially An An's chess. He never thought that in just half a year, he, a child who had just started, would learn to this level.

This feeling of great surprise of meeting a good seedling, and his great-grandson, is indescribable.

Grandpa Jiang has already imagined the scene of taking An An out to meet old friends. When he thought that their great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren were not as good as An An, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

An An thought seriously and made a move. Grandpa Jiang looked at his position, nodded with satisfaction, and he also made a move.

Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng both watched very seriously, only Jiang Zhida was worried.

The Jiang family was in harmony, and Cen Zhengnian finally finished part of the experiment at his workplace.

When he and Yan Hemin walked out of the laboratory, Cen Zhengnian felt a little hungry. He had stomach problems and was most afraid of being hungry, so he took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket and ate it. Yan

Hemin looked at the beef in his hand, suddenly rubbed his stomach and said, "I didn't eat much breakfast today, why do I feel a little hungry now?"
