Mr. Gu, my wife went to the men's department to register for you again.

The second aunt stammered, I, I didn't mean that.

Gu Jingyan raised his eyes and asked, What does that mean? Second aunt, please tell me clearly. My wife married me at a young age, and she worked hard and frugally to help me manage the Gu family. She has no worries at work, so why has she become a joke?”

Qiao Ruoxing...

Gu Jingyan's lie was so true that her client blushed when she heard it.

Getting up early and staying late = sleeping until noon

Washing hands and making soup = dark cuisine

Being diligent and frugal = whether you are happy or not, you have to go shopping with Gu Jingyan’s card

Looking at it from Gu Jingyan's perspective, she was indeed a bit ignorant in proposing a divorce.

The second aunt's face turned red from holding back, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

The fourth aunt raised the corners of her lips, with an expression on her face that was watching the excitement.

You deserve it if you make a fuss!

In the end, it was Qiao Xusheng who said, Isn't it embarrassing for children to hear what I say so openly at my age?

The second aunt's expression was taciturn, but she finally calmed down.

After a while, Qiao Siyao helped the old man come down from upstairs.

The old man is nearly ninety years old, and his body is still strong, but he is old, a little hunched, and his face is full of grooves. The clothes he is wearing must have been just bought by his family. He looks clean and energetic.

The old man looked around, his eyes fell on Gu Jingyan, and he looked at him carefully.

Qiao Xusheng wanted to help the old man, but the old man waved his hand and refused.

He introduced, Grandpa, this is my son-in-law, Gu Jingyan. I showed you the photo before.

His voice was much higher than usual. The old man was a little hard of hearing and his voice was soft, so he couldn't hear clearly.

how old are you?

the old man asked.

Gu Jingyan pursed his lips and said, Thirty.

The old man frowned and muttered, You didn't get married until you were thirty? Is there something wrong with you?

Gu Jingyan...

As soon as these words came out, everyone broke into a cold sweat.

Qiao Ruoxing almost laughed out loud, but Gu Jingyan's face didn't look so good.

Qiao Xusheng was afraid that Gu Jingyan would be angry, so he quickly explained to the old man, We didn't get married just this year. We have been married for several years. It is different from our time. We all marry later and have children later. There are many people in their thirties who have not gotten married.

After that, he whispered to Gu Jingyan, I'm getting older and my brain is a little confused.

You are so confused! the old man said dissatisfiedly, Xingxing is still so young, and you are so anxious to push her into the fire pit. Do you think you are such a father?

Gu Jingyan...

Before Gu Jingyan's first wave of injuries had healed, the second wave of injuries followed.

This old man definitely didn't get along with him, and he regretted agreeing to pick him up and live there.

Of course, this wave of damage was mainly aimed at Qiao Xusheng. Qiao Ruoxing suddenly felt that the old man was really not confused at all.

Qiao Xusheng smiled apologetically, Jingyan treats Ruoxing very well. Ruoxing is a blessing to marry her, how can it be a pit of fire?

The old man snorted and said no more.

Gu Jingyan rarely came to the Gu family, and Qiao Xusheng insisted on keeping him for a meal no matter what.

They originally planned to pick up the people and leave, but they couldn't resist Qiao Xusheng's efforts to stay. After dinner, they stayed for another half day. When they took the old man back, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Qiao Ruoxing asked the old man if he wanted to lie down for a while.

But the old man insisted on sitting, saying that he couldn't see out the window while lying down.

Qiao Ruoxing was a little funny, but she still followed his wishes.

Grandpa has spent his whole life in his hometown, and this visit to Jiangcheng is the farthest he has ever been.

Lin Shu deliberately slowed down the car, and his great-grandfather's yellow eyes stared intently at the slowly receding scenery outside the window. The rows of buildings in Jiangcheng were full of prosperity.

He looked at it for a long time and said with emotion, The country is developing very well, and we have so many high-rise buildings.

Qiao Ruoxing suddenly felt sad, and she whispered, If you like, you can stay here longer.

The great-grandpa smiled and joked, I didn't expect that I would still have such a blessing when I am old.

As he spoke, he suddenly put his hand into his arms, touched it for a long time, took out a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, handed it to Qiao Ruoxing, and whispered to her like a child, I touched it in Er Yatou (Qiao Siyao)'s room. , she said it’s chocolate, it’s delicious, I lost my teeth and can’t chew it, please try it for me to see if it tastes good.”

Qiao Ruoxing was startled.

She actually had no impression of her great-grandfather. She didn’t go to her hometown many times when she was a child. Every time she went, she would stay for a day or two and then leave in a hurry. The deepest impression she had was that her great-grandfather took out a hard brown paper bag from his arms and took out a Let her eat some candy.

The candy tasted much worse than the candy she ate at home. It only had a sweet saccharine taste, but her great-grandfather gave it to her like a treasure. She really wanted to spit it out, but when she saw her great-grandfather asked her sweet question with a kind face, It wasn't sweet, so she swallowed it hard and said sweet.

Grandpa smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

When we meet again now, my great-grandfather looks a little more rickety than before, and his hair has turned white.

But he took out the chocolate and handed it to her with a treasured look on his face. It reminded her of her childhood, and she felt sour and sweet at the same time.

Seeing the expectant expression on her great-grandfather's face, Qiao Ruoxing took it and opened the wrapping paper. The chocolate had been left in his arms for too long and had melted a little due to body warmth. She said nothing, lowered her head and took a bite. , said softly, It's delicious.

Grandpa rolled his eyes and said, I'll touch a few more for you later, so that your dad won't be biased.

Gu Jingyan tilted his head and looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression.

Grandpa noticed his gaze and immediately covered the chocolate in Qiao Ruoxing's hand and glared at him, It's none of your business!

Gu Jingyan...

Lin Shu burst into laughter. Seeing Gu Jingyan's sword stabbing him, he immediately stopped smiling and drove seriously.

Gu Jingyan transferred two housekeepers from the company and came to the house to take care of the old man's daily life these days.

When Qiao Ruoxing is not busy, she takes the old man to visit the scenic spots in Jiangcheng. Gu Jingyan will come occasionally, but he is usually busy with work and it is difficult to spare time. Moreover, even if he does take the time to come, the old man does not want to see him. .

Along the way, he was either asked to carry bags or run errands to buy water. In short, Qiao Ruoxing did not let Qiao Ruoxing interfere at all.

If Gu Jingyan was dissatisfied with where he made it, he didn't know, but the old god was saying, The dolls in the city are just not good. They can't be carried by the hands and shoulders. When I was young, a pig carrying a head could still chase you. Grandma ran all over the streets, and the widows in the village blushed when they saw me.”

If he gets angry, the old man will say, The kids in the city have bad tempers. In our village, no girl wants to be with him even if he has such a bad temper. Even if he gets married, his wife will run away with someone else.

Gu Jingyan finally realized that he was not trying to support Qiao Ruoxing, but that he was bringing back an ancestor for himself.
