e here just to eat these steamed buns.Perhaps it was because the soup dumplings were too delicious, or perhaps because she had walked this stretch of road and started to feel hungry, she ate them one...This time, two people in the kitchen heard footsteps and both looked up.
Jiang Yichen cleared his throat and said, "Just prepare a few fruits. We've already eaten so much, we can't eat too many more. Also, don't prepare persimmons. They clash with crabs. Pears and watermelon are not good either, as they are cold fruits."
Lin Meng immediately replied, "Then, let's go cut some apples!"
Jiang Yichen nodded and went out!
Lin Meng and He Wen soon came out carrying the sliced apples. As soon as they reached the courtyard, Lin Meng was stunned. What did she see!
If it weren't for the apple still in her hand, she would have wanted to rub her eyes hard with her hand to see if something was wrong with them. Jiang Yichen actually let the little guy sit on his shoulders and run like a horse, letting the little guy ride!
Is this real or fake!
She couldn't help but blink her eyes hard!
After opening her eyes, she still saw the same scene. She was still a bit unbelievable. If it weren't for the giggles of the little one and Jiang Yichen's laughter that sounded a little hoarse with age, she would have doubted it!
But what's going on, what happened She just went in to cut some fruit for a while, how come things suddenly became like this.
She was incredibly curious, holding back her urge to rush forward. After placing the fruit beside He Wen on the table, she quickened her pace slightly and moved closer to Rong Ling's side, asking in a low voice.
"What's wrong"
Ronger didn't know either, but if there was anything that stimulated Jiang Yichen and caused him to make such a change, there was only one possibility, which was that he had just entered the room, perhaps something had happened.
"See you later!" he whispered back, also curious to know what had happened between her and Jiang Yancheng inside the house!
There's no need to delve too deeply right now because this change is a positive one, so there's no rush to understand it completely. Just observe for now, it's quite good!
Jiang Yichen carried Xiao Youyou and ran a few circles in the large courtyard. After that, the little guy obediently said he wanted to get down.
“Grandpa can’t be tired out, otherwise next time Grandpa won't carry Youyou to play anymore!”
Look, such a sensible child, considerate and even making excuses for themselves!
Jiang Yancheng chuckled, squatted down, letting the little kid sit on the ground, and then turned back, forcefully pressing the child's shoulders with both hands.
"Grandfather isn't that useless, don't worry. Grandfather will take you to play like this again next time, it's a promise!"
"Okay!" the little boy replied readily.
Turning back, Jiang Yichen suddenly seemed very interested in the young boy and asked him many questions. In the end, it was only because Jiang's mother saw that it was getting very late and that continuing would delay the child from going to sleep that she interrupted Jiang Yichen and the boy's conversation.
Alright, alright, if you have something to say, let's chat another time. It's really late today!
Jiang Yichen raised his hand to look at his watch, and also found that it was time to leave. He touched the little guy's head and stood up.
"Come play at grandpa's house again next time!"
He invited her like that.
This statement almost made me drop my jaw again!
After the Jiang family departed, in the car, Jiang's mother asked Jiang Yichen with some comfort, "You changed a lot today. Will it be like this from now on"
Her question was quite skillful, with a trap that tempted you to jump in.
Jian Yancheng narrowed his eyes, leaning back in the car seat and letting out a low "hmm". His facial expression was very relaxed. Jiang Mu felt like she could see him smiling, but the dim interior of the car made it hard for her to tell if she was seeing things.
She asked again, "Isn't Youyou a good child"
"That's great!" This time, he really smiled, and Mother Jiang saw it clearly.
Then we'll bring him over to our place another day. Our home is awfully quiet; it would be nice to have Youyou come over and liven things up. Oh, and Haohao too! Those two brothers are inseparable, they always stick together. Having the two of them here would definitely make things more lively.
"Well, just go with the arrangement!"
He seemed to be in a very good mood. After watching for a while, Jiang's mother smiled.
"Seeing you like this, I feel relieved." She let out a soft sigh and leaned back against the car seat.
Jiang Yancheng only then opened his half-closed eyes and turned his head to glance at his wife. He understood what she meant. Looking at his wife, whose face looked noticeably younger compared to a year ago, he felt a stirring in his heart. He reached out and grasped Jiang Mu's hand.
"Those things are all in the past!"
Jiang Mu sighed deeply and murmured, "Yes, it's gone, all gone. People have to look forward, that's the only way to make progress!"
Jiang Yichen's grip on her hand tightened.
Lin Meng's words in the kitchen kept echoing in his heart. He hesitated, wondering whether to say them out loud. But keeping silent was like having those words bubble up inside him, constantly rising and trying to escape his mouth. He held back, suppressed it, but after driving for a long time, he finally spoke.
Jiang's mother, astonished, immediately opened her eyes.
Jiang Yancheng sighed with emotion. “That child is really kind!”
Jiang Mu sniffled, a hint of sadness in her voice. "Yes, she meant to!"
For four years, ever since the day they met, that child had been accommodating their Jiang family, helping them without complaint, unreservedly and selflessly!
We really can't ask any more from her!
"From now on, let's treat each other sincerely and live harmoniously!" Jiang's mother murmured.
Jiang Yichen softly hummed in response.
The two of them closed their eyes together, leaning against the car seats in thought. Suddenly, Jiang's mother jolted upright and pushed Jiang Yichen.
"Lao Jiang!"
"Huh"
"That..." Mother Jiang licked her lips, unable to speak for a moment.
"What"
"That half-woman…" Jiang's mother cautiously looked at him, tentatively asking. "You… do you have any ideas"
Jiang Yichen remained silent, but he didn't roar at her or interrupt her.
Then Jiang's mother came to life, and she hurriedly said.
"That child, Yuyu, you saw him. He's really likable and excellent. His parents have raised him well. Although he calls us Grandpa and Grandma, when there are other people around, he has to add an 'Jiang' before it, calling us Jiang Grandpa and Jiang Grandma. Besides, that child has his proper grandparents, while we are just halfway-in, how can we compare to the real ones But I always feel like that child's connection to our Jiang family should be stronger than others. He calls us Jiang Grandpa and Jiang Grandma, but then calls others Grandpa Li and Grandma Li. Calling it this way, how can it show the closeness and specialness of our relationship with him So, you see, what do you think we should…"
He paused for a moment, letting Jiang Yancheng weigh his words. Seeing that he still didn't react much, Jiang’s mother continued, “Why don’t you just become the child’s grandparents directly That’s the only family there is! As you know, Mengmeng and Lin Bao’s family are estranged. No matter what you say, Lin Bao is already like that, and his stepmother's side doesn't need to be bothered with at all. So, Old Jiang, I think being grandparents is a good idea. It sounds so close, don't you think”
Speaking of this, one can really see how much Mrs. Jiang likes Youyou. It's a love that is sincere and passionate!
"Lao Jiang, what do you think" Jiang's mother nudged Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yancheng didn't answer immediately. It was after a while that he spoke in a low voice.
“Speak again!”
This attitude also shows that he is interested.
"Then the mother became anxious. 'What else is there to say This kind of matter, the sooner it's settled, the better! If we decide on this betrothal quickly, then no one else can come and steal him away!'"
She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of becoming Xiaoyouyou's unique grandmother. No one else could compete with her for that position. She wished she could immediately claim Lin Meng as her daughter and have the little one call her grandma right away. Then, she could do all the things a grandma should do—drop by anytime to see the little one, visit whenever she missed him, even take him home for a few days.
At the mere thought of this beautiful scenery, she would laugh out loud. So, she was even more eager to see it for herself.
"Old Jiang, why don't you say something Come on, just give us a definite answer!"
Jiang Yichen opened his eyes and looked at his elderly wife. He felt a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
"What are you afraid of, that others will come and take it You think being Lin Meng's godmother is that easy. Not to mention her, just talking about Rong Ling, even passing his test would be difficult. With that man's ability, who could have the strength to overpower him!"
Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment. Right, she almost forgot about this. But on second thought, she felt that her own son had overthought it.
"We're just living in a dream, so there's no need to force anything. Let things take their course, and it will be easy. That little dreamer, Dreamy, would definitely agree if we asked her. You said yourself that she sees herself as half our daughter, and she thinks we wouldn't accept her. She has the desire, and we have the intention, a perfect match for both parties, don't you think"
"Talk later, no rush!"
Jiang Mu frowned. "What's the rush"
"It's also important to maintain a normal flow of communication for some time. Rushing things wouldn't be good!"
"What's wrong I think it's pretty good. What's not good about it..."
Jiang Mu muttered to herself, but in the end, she didn't bring it up right away. After all, this was a big deal, and it really needed Jiang Yichen's approval. He said he'd talk about it later, so all Jiang Mu could do was occasionally whisper in Jiang Yichen's ear and often run to see Xiao Youyou. Sometimes, she would even take Xiao Youyou home for a while.
Since the idea had been brought up, and Jiang Yancheng hadn't explicitly opposed it, Jiang's mother knew that if they just waited, the idea would eventually become reality. Then, one day, an opportunity arose!
It was the weekend, and Jiang's mother was happily watching Youyou and the others play with their tanks in the workshop. She was chatting idly with Mengmeng while at the same time, a message came from the security guard’s room that Lin Dong and Jin Saimei had arrived together, bringing an infant. It turned out that Lin Dong wanted to bring his daughter to meet her little aunt, Lin Meng.
