"Yes, he's Nizi's boyfriend. He's very good to Youhe and likes her a lot."
As the relative drank the tea that Ye Zhou had poured, he looked the boy up and down, thinking to himself, "This boy is quite handsome and sensible. It would be wonderful if he were my daughter's boyfriend. An Youhe has really gotten a great deal."
Ye Zhou was quite surprised. He didn't expect Grandma An to introduce him like that. It seemed that the old lady had truly accepted him.
The relative said some words of concern for the elderly, telling them to take good care of their health, and then left.
Later, many relatives came intermittently, and Grandma An introduced Ye Zhou to them in the same way.
Ye Zhou nodded politely, while An Youhe blushed.
Another relative came and An Youhe said sullenly, "Grandma, why did you mention Ye Zhou before anyone else even asked? It's like you can't wait to marry me off."
Grandma An said, "I wish I could marry you off right now."
The girl moved a stool and sat down next to her grandmother. Wangfu lay in her grandmother's arms like a natural hand warmer, and licked her grandmother's wrinkled face.
Grandma An smiled, then turned to see her granddaughter's hands constantly knitting, "What are you knitting now?"
"I'll knit you a few more hats. Aren't you afraid of the cold? You can wear them in rotation. This hat I knitted is really thick."
Ye Zhou also said something sweet, "Youhe is so skillful now, probably because she learned it from her grandmother. Her grandmother was definitely a great beauty when she was young."
Grandma An laughed, "Young man, my precious granddaughter is all yours now. Take good care of her and don't let her suffer."
"I definitely won't let her suffer," Ye Zhou replied quickly, without hesitation.
My eldest uncle came over to check on things as the day was drawing to a close, but my second uncle didn't come.
...
Ye Zhou received a call from his boss; Decoding Cloud was already waiting downstairs in the residential complex.
He rushed back to the entrance of the residential area, completely surprised that his boss would give gifts to his employees during the Chinese New Year.
Decoding Cloud was holding gifts, such as ginseng and bird's nest; the boss was very generous.
But when he looked up and saw the dilapidated neighborhood where Ye Zhou lived, he asked, "Are you paid too little? Why are you living in a place like this?"
Ye Zhou explained with a smile, "We've lived here since we were little, and our family is used to it."
I brought the decoding cloud home and opened the door.
Decoding Cloud greeted its employees and their families with smiles.
"Mom, this is my boss."
Decoding Cloud is a frequent figure on television, and Zhou Ping recognized him immediately after wiping her hands with her apron.
"Come in and sit down. Oh my, you look even more handsome than on TV."
Decoding Cloud smiled politely, "Ye Zhou's mother also looks very young and beautiful."
Ye Fan lay idly on the sofa, while Ye Qing was still in the room, playing something.
Hearing that a guest had arrived, Ye Fan got up to greet him, but before he could even extend his hand, he saw who it was and his hand froze in mid-air.
The ginseng and bird's nest collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Ye Fan!" Decoding Cloud called out uncertainly.
Ye Fan gave an awkward smile and withdrew his hand.
Zhou Ping and Ye Zhou looked at each other in bewilderment.
"We haven't been able to find you for so many years, and you're actually here? Do you know how desperately Grandpa Ye has been looking for you all these years?!" CodeCloud shouted.
Ye Zhou was stunned and tilted his head to ask Zhou Ping, "Mom, didn't my grandparents die a long time ago?"
Zhou Ping was also dumbfounded, "I've never even met your grandparents."
...
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Ye Zhou received a call from An Youhe, and he had a strange, bad feeling about it.
On the phone, the girl's voice sounded calm, "Ye Zhou, come and see Grandma."
Ye Zhou felt a chill in his heart. "Okay, I'll be right there."
When Ye Zhou arrived, his eldest and second uncles had already arrived, kneeling on the ground, their cries echoing through the sky.
He entered the main house, where his grandmother was lying on the bed, and the young girl was holding the old woman's already cold hand tightly.
She turned her head, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, but a smile played on her lips. "Ye Zhou, you've come."
Ye Zhou couldn't bear to see his beloved make such an expression, so he went up to her and pulled her into his arms.
"If you want to cry, just cry."
The girl still didn't react strongly. Holding the old man's fingers tightly, she shook her head and said, "Ye Zhou, I won't cry. Grandma said she saw Mom and Dad, and Grandpa too."
Ye Zhou stroked the girl's hair, feeling incredibly heartbroken, and tears streamed down his face.
He wasn't unfamiliar with it; in his past life, he had experienced his father's funeral in the same way. How could he not understand the pain of losing a loved one?
“Yes, Grandma must have reunited with Dad, Mom, and Grandpa,” Ye Zhou comforted her.
By the time the doctor arrived, it was too late. An Youhe witnessed her grandmother close her eyes, her body temperature gradually disappearing, becoming as cold as the winter earth.
My second uncle came back, and he was also crying his heart out. Even if it's just a room, there's no point in fighting over it now.
“Mother, why didn’t you say so sooner? I should have come to see you sooner. I didn’t come to visit relatives during the New Year, nor did I call you. The last time I came was for the will. Why didn’t you scold me to wake me up? Mother, get up and hit me! Hit this unfilial son.”
The dark-skinned migrant worker spoke, slapping his face with both hands without any hesitation.
"Second brother, let it go. It's too late to say anything now. Our mother has never blamed you. She has never blamed us. She has persevered through so many years and so many things. She knows everything."
The work of the living is not yet finished within a day.
An Youhe helped her grandmother change her clothes and put on the new hat that her grandmother had just knitted.
It's bright red, thick, and warm.
Ye Zhou put his arm around the girl's shoulder to comfort her.
An Youhe looked at the familiar face and said, "The hat is almost finished. It was only finished today. I haven't asked Grandma if she's warm enough yet. She's most afraid of the cold."
“It’s warm, definitely warm. Youhe, do you know? People who have experienced great sorrow and unfulfilled wishes in this life may have a chance to make amends. They will return to the starting point of those events with their memories, start anew, and change everything.”
"Really?"
"Really," Ye Zhou said earnestly.
In reality, he wasn't sure. What he did know was that Feng Gan's immense wealth and success in his previous life were due to his younger brother, Feng Kun. Feng Kun secretly met with the person who threatened his brother in Mengliang, but was buried there, dying with the sins that Feng Gan should have borne. Feng Gan was reborn with remorse for his brother.
He had a similar experience.
An Youhe hardly shed any tears, even when she came out carrying a small jar of ashes.
Ye Zhou always stayed by her side, and even he had to admire the girl's perseverance.
