Chapter 811 The Old Man is Here
However, her close secretary occasionally noticed her unusual behavior.
Fortunately, the secretary was sensible; she didn't ask unless others brought it up.
I received a call from home saying that Grandpa had arrived.
Lin Yuyao was somewhat surprised, "Didn't you say you'd arrive the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes, but when I went to your house today, I saw the old man sitting in the yard fishing."
This is really... a complete surprise!
"I'll go back once I finish what I'm doing."
Just then, Grandpa's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Don't call her back. Keep busy. I'm an old man, and I don't want anyone to feed me."
That's what she said, but Lin Yuyao still decided to leave work early today.
She quickly finished her work, said goodbye to Ye Xiaotong, took the keys, and went downstairs.
When she came out, she saw Tang Xiaofen, who was collecting recyclables, and asked her a question.
"Xiaofen, has your older brother left?"
Tang Xiaofen: "No."
"So what are his plans?"
"I don't know either. He's not home much during the day these past few days."
Lin Yuyao muttered, "He wouldn't be thinking of finding a job nearby and not going back, would he?"
Tang Xiaofen was startled. "No way?"
"Don't worry, ask him first and sound him out. If he really intends to do this, I'll bring some people to your house to collect the debt."
"Oh, Miss Lin, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After saying that, she rolled up the car window and drove away.
Grandpa did indeed arrive, and Fu Wen naturally followed him, along with the housekeeper, Aunt Qu He.
I haven't seen her in a long time; she's still an elegant middle-aged woman.
"Miss Lin, I apologize for disturbing you."
"Aunt Qu, you're too kind. We're all so happy that you could come. When I'm at work, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my child."
"It should."
The old man was calling her from inside. Lin Yuyao exchanged a few words with Qu He and then hurried inside.
"Grandpa, you must be tired from the journey."
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's not hard work, I'll be there after a nap. But you, at such a young age, started a company, providing so many jobs and supporting so many people, that's truly remarkable. It's our Huaiyi who is honored to be associated with you."
Lin Yuyao said modestly, "Grandpa is joking. He and I are going in different directions. If he were to go into business, he would only do better than me."
"Haha, you've got a good way with words, girl. You're much more natural and poised than when we first met."
The old man still remembered that when this girl first met his silly grandson, she hid and dared not face anyone.
However, people all grow up, mature, and grow old.
Looking at himself now, who can still remember what he looked like when he was young?
The old man sighed, saying that he had always been unwilling to admit he was old, but now he could no longer deceive himself.
"You've all grown up and are getting better and better. My old bones are failing me, I'm getting old."
"Grandpa, you are still very healthy."
I chatted with the old man for a while and made him laugh heartily.
The two children were supposed to take a nap, and after a while, they came downstairs. As soon as they saw Lin Yuyao, they rushed to her.
She had to hold them both at the same time, otherwise they might start fighting.
"Da Bao and Xiao Bao, have you been good today?"
"Good boy, good boy."
"Good, have you seen Great-Grandpa?"
They're not even two years old yet, how could they remember their great-grandfather whom they haven't seen in so long?
Both of them stared at him curiously, wanting to touch his white beard, but not daring to.
The old man squatted down and approached them.
"Want to touch it, don't you?"
The two looked at him expectantly.
"Touch it if you want."
After receiving his permission, the two tentatively approached him and reached out their small hands to touch his beard.
They were both a little scared at first, but they weren't scared anymore after touching it.
Once one touches it, the other wants to touch it too, and soon they start fighting over it.
At first, the old man was all smiles, but then things started to look increasingly off.
The two boys pulled his beard so hard that he winced in pain, and then the two kids started fighting.
The old man went to break up the fight, but accidentally pushed someone to the ground and fell on his bottom.
"Ouch."
Seeing this, Lin Yuyao hurriedly went to help the old man and then called the two nannies to carry the two of them away.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Seeing that Da Bao and Er Bao were crying after being separated, he said with heartache, "Hey, don't hold them back."
Lin Yuyao: "They're fighting."
"It's alright, what can such a small child fight?"
Lin Yuyao's lips twitched, thinking to herself that this wasn't about what she was fighting.
"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old, so we need to teach them now, otherwise they'll be fighting all the time."
The old man said, "It's alright. Your dad and your uncle fought every day when they were kids. They fought since they were little, and it only stopped after they got married."
Huh? Are your father-in-law and uncle that fierce too?
"Look how good their relationship is now. They don't even argue anymore, let alone fight."
The old man's words are ridiculous. They're both in their fifties or sixties, grandfathers, how can they still fight like this?
The old man had a different educational philosophy. He thought it was a good thing for boys to fight, and that his sons should fight back and forth to develop their fighting spirit.
Since Lin Yuyao has a place to stay, the old man doesn't plan to go to the old house in the city.
The next day, Lin Yuyao went to work. After her aunt sent her granddaughter to school, she came to see the old man.
Song Qin said, "Your house has been lively these past few days. Now that the old man is here, he'll probably be spending the New Year here, right?"
"Yes, we took our two children back home for Chinese New Year last year, but they got carsick and suffered a lot. So Grandpa said we should spend Chinese New Year here this year."
"That's great. It's perfect that your parents and their family are here too. It'll be so lively."
Lin Yuyao smiled, thinking back to when she first came to Nancheng, she never imagined that one day a foreign land would become her hometown.
Now the whole family has settled down here.
Song Qin rarely talks about her family anymore, but today, when Lin Yuyao's family was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of her own family again.
“My parents have been quiet for the past two years. They are unwilling to give up, but there is nothing they can do. Fortunately, I am not a pushover and have always stuck to what I believe in.”
"That's fine too."
Song Qin nodded and said with a faint smile, "Yes, as long as they don't think about things they shouldn't, I can still treat my brother and my family as relatives. If my nephew really needs my help in the future, I won't stand idly by."
"My nephew is quite grown up now, isn't he?"
"You'll be starting junior high next year."
time flies.
I vaguely remember that her nephew was about the same age as Wang Chenchen.
Speaking of Wang Chenchen, she stopped going to school before graduating from elementary school.
If Lu Jiangting didn't care about them, Wang Chenchen would only be at this level.
I don't know what Fang Qing was thinking.
Times have changed. How will we survive if we don't study?
They're not from that generation. People from that generation didn't go to school, yet they could still farm the land in the countryside their whole lives.
Do you expect those born in the 1980s to spend their entire lives farming in the countryside?
Can Wang Chenchen do it? Having seen the hustle and bustle of big cities, can he really settle down and go back to farming?
