After Shuihua hung up the phone, she walked out of the kitchen and shouted towards the living room.
"Dad, Mom, Defu just called and said that he won't be back for dinner tonight."
On the other side, when Li Jie and Defu's mother heard the news, the reactions on their faces were completely different. Li Jie didn't express anything about it, while Defu's mother sighed.
"This child treats the office as his home every day. The eldest grandson finally comes back and doesn't know how to come back early."
Xiaojiu glanced at her grandma who was thinking quietly, and immediately sat down next to her and comforted her.
"Grandma, isn't it because dad is busy working for us? I understand."
After hearing her grandson's words, Defu's mother's expression suddenly changed, the smile returned to her face, and she touched her grandson's head lovingly.
"Yes, Xiaojiu is right. Let's go and eat. I don't care about your father."
After saying this, Defu's mother was about to get up. Seeing this, Xiaojiu quickly supported her grandma's arm.
Although Defu's mother is already in her early sixties, she has taken good care of her body with Li Jie, the master of Xinglin, by her side over the years. If outsiders didn't know her condition, at first glance, they might think that she is only five years old.
Ten years old.
Now she is not too old to stand up, but she has not slapped her eldest grandson's hand away. After all, this is a child's filial piety.
Seeing his grandson's actions, Li Jie nodded happily.
In a blink of an eye, he has been in this dungeon for more than ten years. If Li Jie were to choose what he was most proud of, it would not be leading Jintan Village to become rich, but cultivating a few good children.
Needless to say, the eldest son Ma Defu is definitely an excellent cadre. As an official, especially an official with a bright future, he will inevitably be tempted by many temptations.
But Ma Defu was able to restrain his desires and always keep his original intention in mind.
This is very valuable.
In addition, he is also a qualified son, a qualified husband, and a qualified father.
The second son, Ma Debao, is also very good. Although in Li Jie's eyes, Ma Debao's achievements are not very brilliant, but in the local area, Ma Debao is already the best among people.
The youngest daughter, Ma Dehua, is the child that Li Jie worries the least about. Although she is much younger than her two brothers, she lives a very transparent life and knows what she wants and what she doesn't want.
As for the two daughters-in-law, they are also very good. Although they have always been family-centered, they have not become men's vassals. Both girls have their own careers.
In the end, Li Jie was also very satisfied with the expressions of his two grandsons.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat."
Just as Sun Tzu's words reached Li Jie's ears, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing this mission. The reward will be received after returning to the main world."
"After the mission is completed, the host can return at any time. If he does not make a choice, he will be forced to return within 48 hours."
'Mission accomplished?'
At this moment, Li Jie was stunned for a moment. After all, more than ten years of dungeon life had already made him integrate into this era.
If it weren't for the memories in his mind that reminded him, he might have thought that he was truly a person of this era.
Seeing his grandpa still sitting on the sofa, Xiaojiu couldn't help but patted Li Jie gently and said doubtfully.
"grandfather?"
In the blink of an eye, Li Jie adjusted his mentality and waved his hand.
"Let's go and eat."
In fact, Li Jie had been waiting for the notification that the task was completed a few years ago, but he waited and waited and never got there.
Over time, he got used to it. He recalled that in the copy of Misty Rain in the Southern Song Dynasty, he waited for the system prompt sound for more than a hundred years. Finally, it was not until he died that the system prompt sound came belatedly.
The Ma family's dinner is very simple, a plate of fried vegetables, a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs, a plate of white-cut mutton, a plate of braised chicken, three dishes and one soup, all of which taste relatively light.
As Li Jie and Defu's mother grow older, in order to take care of the elderly more conveniently, the Defu family no longer cook alone and eat at the two elderly people's homes every day.
Since the water splash came, Li Jie and Defu's mother rarely cook anymore, and she handles most of the three meals a day at home.
After dinner, Defu's mother cleared the table with Shui Hua, while Li Jie took his eldest grandson to the study.
"Come on, Xiaojiu, write a few words and show them to grandpa. Let's see if you have regressed in recent times."
Xiaojiu is currently in high school in Yinchuan. Their high school adopts a boarding system. Originally, when they were in their first and second years of high school, their school had a vacation once every half a month. However, Xiaojiu is a senior in high school this year and now only has a vacation once a month.
"good."
With a bright smile on her face, Xiaojiu walked to the desk confidently. She first spread out a piece of rice paper, then picked up the ink stick on the table and began to grind the ink quietly.
This grinding of ink takes only a quarter of an hour.
Although he spent a long time studying ink, there was no hint of impatience on Xiaojiu's face. Li Jie had been teaching him calligraphy since he was five years old. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, he had already become accustomed to the preparation before starting to write.
After a while, Xiaojiu picked up the writing brush on the note and started writing with a wave of his hand.
'After the dream, the tower is high and locked, and the curtains are drooped when one is sober. Last year, when the spring regret came, the fallen flowers were independent, and the gentle swifts flew together.'
'I remember when we first met Xiao Ping, the double heart word was Luo Yi, and the pipa string was saying lovesickness. The bright moon was there at that time, and it returned with the colorful clouds.'
Li Jie couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the poem Linjiang Fairy Queen written by his grandson.
This poem is a poem by Yan Jidao, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Anyone can understand the meaning expressed in the poem.
how?
The eldest grandson is in love?
Otherwise, why would you suddenly write this poem?
Speaking of which, there is an interesting story about the poem "Linjiang Immortal". The lyrics of this poem are not all original. The phrase "The fallen flower man is independent, and the tiny swift swallows fly together" was "borrowed" by Yan Jidao from others.
The original author of these two sentences is Weng Hong, a poet of the Five Dynasties.
However, this is not important. What is important is whether his eldest grandson is in love. After recovering his thoughts, Li Jie patted his eldest grandson on the head and laughed.
"Boy? You have a partner?"
Xiaojiu smiled naively and scratched his head, neither confirming nor denying.
Seeing the appearance of his eldest grandson, how could Li Jie not understand?
He is not that kind of old-fashioned 'old man'. He has no prejudice against campus love, as long as he does not cross certain bottom lines.
"Okay, let's talk to grandpa."
Xiao Jiu hesitated for a while. Although he had a very mature mind and looked like a young adult, given his age, he was still a young boy after all.
Being shy is normal.
Li Jie didn't rush him when he saw this, he just looked at him with a smile and waited quietly for his grandson to speak.
