Just a week after Xiang Jin and her grandparents returned, suddenly one day when Xiang Jin had just gotten up from her lunch break and was eating fruit while talking to Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, the door outside their house was blocked by someone.
There was a knock, and Grandpa Zeng got up and went out to open the door.
After a while, he brought in a few people, one of whom was Yan Chen's grandfather, the other two were his police officer Xiao Li, and another one he didn't know, who was probably in charge of his security in the army.
"Grandpa, why are you here?!" Xiang Jin was very surprised.
The old man had a smile on his face and looked energetic. Although he had a head full of gray hair, his body was straight and he walked with great momentum and strength.
Grandma Mo was also very surprised. She quickly put down the baby sweater she was knitting, and then stood up with Xiang Jin, "Oh, brother, why did you come to the capital at this time? I didn't even listen to you.
Got through."
Yan Chen and his grandfather laughed and explained to them, "I came to Beijing for a meeting, so I stopped by to see you. How about Jin Yatou? Are you feeling well lately? Nothing wrong with you, right?"
Facing his concerned eyes, Xiang Jin also smiled and said, "Thank you grandpa for your relationship. Everything is fine with me. You don't have to worry."
The old man nodded, then looked at Grandma Mo and the others, and then thanked her sincerely, "Sister-in-law and brother, you two have worked really hard? And also Jin Yatou and her grandparents, thank you for taking care of me.
!”
Grandma Mo said, "Look what you said, although she is your grandson and daughter-in-law, she is also our biological grandson and biological grandson and daughter-in-law."
Besides, we have watched Jin Yatou grow up since she was a child. This child is sensible but annoying, and we have always treated her as our own granddaughter.
Jin Yatou's grandparents only have her as a biological granddaughter. Her brother is not married yet. Jin Yatou is carrying their precious great-grandson, so they won't mind taking care of her.
In fact, we usually don't have much to do. We just go to the mall to buy groceries and cook three meals a day, so it's not hard work at all. We are happy to stay with the children.
"
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded, and Xiang Jin called to the old man, "Grandpa, please sit down quickly!"
"Oh, okay!" The old man walked over and sat down on the main sofa.
Then Xiang Jin asked the other two people accompanying him to sit down. The two people thanked him and waved their hands. Yan Chen and his grandfather said, "Sit down, everyone. Sit down and rest for a while. This is at home, not
In the army, there is no need to pay so much attention."
"Yes!" The two of them stood upright and saluted him with a military salute, then walked to the side and sat down, but their bodies were also upright.
Xiang Jin poured water for several people, and Grandma Mo hurriedly walked over and took over the work from her hands, "I'll come, I'll come, Jin girl, you also go over and sit down and talk to your grandpa."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin walked over calmly and sat down on a single sofa next to him, "Grandpa, have you just arrived?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather said, "No, I arrived in the morning. I had a meeting all day and came right after it ended."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Grandpa Zeng asked, "How long will you stay in Beijing this time? Have you talked to Chen Chen on the phone?"
Yan Chen's grandfather said, "I will stay in Beijing for three days this time. I haven't had time to talk to him on the phone. I arrived at six o'clock in the morning. He hadn't even gotten up at that time, so I didn't bother him, and then I went in."
I have been in meetings since Jing came here, and met with some old comrades at noon."
Grandpa Zeng nodded, and then Grandma Mo asked, "Are you staying at home these three days?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather looked out into the yard and asked, "Is it convenient?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "It's convenient, it's convenient, the rooms have been prepared for you already. We have more than a dozen rooms in our house, you can live in any one."
Grandpa, it’s rare for you to come home, so just stay at home these days. We’ll be very close to you, but we just don’t know if it’s convenient for you, and we don’t know if your army has any requirements for you.”
After hearing what she said, the old man felt very happy in his heart, and then he burst out laughing, "Okay, then we'll stay at home," and then he whispered to Xiao Li beside him, "You can wait for me
Go and tell my comrades that we won’t live with them these days. We will live at home these days, and I’ll treat them to a drink when I get the chance.”
Security guard Xiao Li nodded, "Yes!"
Xiang Jin asked, "Do you want to bring them two bottles of wine? We have wine at home?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather waved his hands, "No need for the time being. We are all here for a meeting in Beijing this time. Don't get too drunk and affect the meeting. You can do it after the meeting and before everyone leaves the capital."
Just give me one or two bottles."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Sure, Grandpa, you can tell us how many people there are when the time comes, and we will prepare for you how many people there are."
Yan Chen and his grandfather looked at her jokingly and said, "Grandpa will buy from you then."
Xiang Jin said, "Look what you said, grandpa, how can a family need to be so polite? Do we still need the money for those bottles of wine?"
Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo were also laughing at the side.
Yan Chen and his grandfather immediately laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, grandpa is not polite to you."
After Grandma Mo chatted with Yan Chen and his grandfather for a while, she got up to prepare dinner. Xiang Jin also got up to help. Yan Chen and his grandfather quickly stopped him and said, "Sit down, sit down, Jin Yatou.
Don't move, I'll go!" He stood up.
He stood up, and others also stood up, especially the two entourage he brought with him, who were even more enthusiastic and told them to go!
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa, can you still cook?!"
Yan Chen and his grandfather said "Ah", "Aren't you looking down on your grandpa? Well, let your grandpa give you a sneak peek tonight. Let's see if the food cooked by your grandpa and I is delicious."
Grandpa Zeng stood aside and said, "Put it down, your cooking skills are not as good as Chen Chen's?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather choked, then looked sideways at his old comrade-in-law, in-laws, and brother, and frowned slightly and said, "Hey, you old man, you don't know how to save some for me in front of the child."
Face?"
Grandpa Zeng smiled and said, "Come on, come on, you, you are not born with the talent of cooking, so don't pretend to be fat? You, just continue to rest, you are so tired when you get up in the morning
Morning, I haven't had any rest this day, so I'm probably tired. I'd better go with your sister-in-law. After all, I've been cooking for decades, so my cooking level is a little higher than yours."
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded, and then Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo went to prepare dinner, and his police officer Xiao Li said, "Then chief, let me go and explain to those chiefs?!"
Yan Chen's grandfather waved his hand, "Go, go!"
The other person, even though he was a friend, rolled up his sleeves and said to Yan Chen and his grandfather, "Your chief, I'm going to fight with my uncle and aunt?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded slightly, "Go, go!"
Suddenly, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen's grandfather were the only two people left in the living room. Xiang Jin asked, "Grandpa, do you want to go back to the house and rest for a while?"
Yan Chen and her grandfather said, "I'm not tired. Grandpa is still energetic."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then the grandfather and grandson chatted about other topics. After chatting for a while, Xiang Jin saw that he was in good spirits, so he stood up and said, "Grandpa, let me show you around our home."
Bar?"
"Oh, okay!" The old man also stood up, and the two of them walked out together.
Xiang Jin first took him to visit the study, and then took him to see the decoration styles of some other rooms. After Yan Chen and his grandfather saw the layout and decoration of the entire courtyard, he nodded frequently and kept talking.
Saying "Okay!"
Xiang Jin said, "Grandpa, if you like it, then after you leave office next year, you can come here to live with us. Our place will be spacious if you use it. Then we will have my grandparents, grandparents, and you old people."
It’s fun when people are together.
If you are interested, you can also plant vegetables and raise flowers in the yard, and if you want to go out for a walk, you can also go out and visit the tourist attractions in BJ. You see, there are still many tourist attractions in BJ.
Every place has its own characteristics.”
Yan Chen's grandfather's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
But I feel very warm and touching in my heart. After all, in today's society, many young people are reluctant to live with their parents and elders, but their granddaughter-in-law has no such idea. He learned from her
With his eyes open, he saw that she was sincerely inviting him, so why wouldn't he like such a good child?
After he leaves office next year, he can come back and live a normal life with children and grandchildren around him for two days, and he can also enjoy his old age in peace.
"So there are vegetables grown in those sheds in the yard?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, we planted it after we returned to BJ. Now it's just in time to eat, so we don't have to buy it outside. We can just go to the yard to pick some vegetables and bring them back."
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded frequently, "Well, it's good, it's good, resources are used rationally." As he said that, he stood on the eaves and looked at the entire small courtyard.
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, the most important thing is to eat fresh, and also to be safe and environmentally friendly. For example, the vegetables we grow ourselves are not treated with pesticides. For example, the eggplants and cucumbers do not need to be peeled. They can be directly washed with water."
Just wash it and cut it directly and eat it.
Another thing is that the fruits and vegetables grown can also be enjoyed as ornamental plants and can be eaten to decorate the yard.”
"Well, it's practical!" Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded with approval, and then asked again, "What kind of vegetables are grown in the yard?"
Xiang Jinjiu said, "Basically, there are some vegetables that we usually eat, such as tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, garlic sprouts, green onions, coriander, radish and a few lotus white cabbage, and then some green leaf vegetables.
.”
Yan Chen and his grandfather listened carefully, and then his eyes lit up, "Hey, are they all planted?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Well, we all planted a little, so as not to have to go out to buy vegetables when we want to eat. This winter, we basically didn't buy vegetables outside, oh, except for some mushrooms.
Except for the products and the yams that are occasionally used to make soup, everything else is grown by us. Every day, grandpa and grandpa go to the mall to buy some fresh meat ingredients."
"Well, that's good, that's good!" Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded again, feeling that this girl was really smart and capable. His grandson marrying such a wife would be a great blessing to the Yan family.
At this time, Grandpa Zeng walked out of the kitchen carrying a basket. When he saw his grandfather and grandson under the eaves, he walked over with a smile, and then said to Yan Chen and his grandfather, "This small courtyard
Isn’t your son pretty?”
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded, "Well, it's good. It's very quiet, very transparent, and the layout is pretty good. It's a good garden."
Yan Chen and his grandfather said, "When we saw this courtyard, we thought it was very good. When you step down next year, you can come and live together. Then you can also take care of your great-grandson."
Yan Chen and his grandfather nodded, "Yes, I haven't taken care of my grandson very much, but my great-grandson must be taken care of well. When the time comes, the two of them will go to work properly while they are still young, and the children will be left to us."
The old one will take care of you."
Xiang Jin stood aside and narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the faces of the two elders were also filled with expectant looks.
Following Yan Chen, his grandfather asked, "Where do you want to eat? I'll go and have a look with you."
Grandpa Zeng said, "Whatever vegetables you want to eat tonight, we can pick them?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather said, "I can pick any kind of vegetables. I don't have to choose." Then he turned sideways and looked at Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, what kind of vegetables do you want to eat? Grandpa will pick them for you?"
Xiang Jin said, "Thank you, grandpa, but I don't have to choose, any dish is fine!"
The old man nodded, "Okay, then grandpa and your grandpa will go pick some vegetables."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"
Yan Chen arrived home at around 6:40. When he saw his grandfather, he was surprised for a moment, and then he and his grandson started chatting about the current situation. While chatting, Yan Chen asked, "This is the New Year.
Were you still in the army?"
His grandfather nodded, "Well, it's the last year. It's better to spend the New Year with everyone. In the future, there will be fewer opportunities to go to the army if there is nothing important."
Yan Chen nodded, expressing his understanding and understanding of his love and commemoration for the army, but he also said, "Then you should pay more attention to your health, and don't catch a cold while standing guard like the year before.
.
Ajin bought you a mink coat. Not long ago, your grandparents brought it back to you when they passed by the provincial capital when they returned to their hometown. They gave it to your aunt and asked her to take it back to the courtyard and leave it for you. You can go back this time.
If you have it, take it to the army and put it on when you stand guard."
His grandfather was a bit dumbfounded and said, "Why did you buy me a mink coat? It's not cold. Our army has military coats, which can also protect against cold and frost. Besides, the army emphasizes hardship and simplicity, so you let me wear it."
A mink coat dangling on the troops is so eye-catching that people criticize it? Besides, the troops also have army rules! This is against the rules!"
Yan Chen tilted his head and smiled and said to Jin, "What am I saying? Grandpa will not bring it to the army to wear. If you still don't believe it, you should believe it now, right?"
Yan Chen and his grandfather were also surprised, and then looked at Xiang Jin, "What, that mink coat was bought for me by Girl Jin?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, I bought you one when I went to the mall last time."
The old man was immediately moved and said, "Oh, grandpa, thank you so much?!"
Xiang Jin said nonchalantly, "It's okay, but grandpa, you can't be in the army, but you still have to wear thicker clothes in the army, especially when you are on guard on New Year's Eve, don't
It’s freezing.”
The old man nodded again, "Well, I know, although those clothes can't be worn in the army, you can still wear them after I get home and after I leave my post next year."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah!"
"Are you going back after the meeting the day after tomorrow?" Yan Chen asked again.
His grandfather nodded again, "Yes, I will go back to the army directly after the meeting, and I will not go home then."
Yan Chen nodded and said, "Then when you leave in the morning, take the rice wine that your grandparents prepared for you."
"Are you preparing it for me again?" his grandfather asked.
Yan Chen said "Yeah" and said, "I'll prepare it for you the day after you come to BJ."
The old man just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take the jar directly away when the time comes."
Yan Chen then suggested, "Do you think you should bring a few more bottles of liquor then?"
His grandfather smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to get a few bottles of Wuliangye and Moutai from you. I have a few old comrades. I promised to treat them to drinks, and I still have to honor them. Once I leave office next year,
If nothing happens in the future, there will be less opportunities to meet."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. Just take two boxes when the time comes."
His grandfather waved his hand and said, "If there are not so many people, there are only three people in total, and each person can get two bottles."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, how many bottles of Moutai and Wuliangye do you think would be appropriate? I'll get them out for you then."
His grandfather said, "Just three bottles of Maotai and three bottles of Wuliangye."
"What about you? How many bottles won't you take with you?" Yan Chen immediately asked again.
His grandfather said, "I won't bring it anymore. I still have a few bottles there. I only opened one of the bottles you brought me before, and this time I went back and there were some made for me by your grandparents."
Where’s the rice wine?”
"Then do you want to bring some more cured meats? I will go to the shop to get some for you tomorrow. We haven't made it so fast at home. My grandparents have only been back for more than a week, and it will probably take a few days before they come back.
.”
His grandfather said, "No need for that. Your Uncle Tao said that he will go to the countryside to pick up your grandparents in a few days. Then he will bring some of those cured sausages back to the provincial capital. If he wants to eat them then, I will let him
Xiao Li, just go home and get some for me."
Yan Chen nodded, "That's fine! Then will you come for BJ then?"
His grandfather knew that he was asking him about the Chinese New Year, so he paused briefly and said, "I'll take a look. If I'm free then, I'll come. If I'm not free, I can only wait for me."
I will reunite with you after I leave office."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
After a while, Xiao Li came back, and then Xiao Li took over Grandpa Zeng's work in the kitchen. Then Grandpa Zeng came to chat with Yan Chen and his grandfather. Then Xiang Jin and Yan Chen got up and opened the space.
It was left to them two old brothers. Speaking of which, they hadn't seen each other or talked to each other for a long time.
Xiang Jin took Yan Chen's hand and said, "Shall we go tidy up the room for them?"
Yan Chen nodded, and the two of them walked towards the wing together.
Although the room is being tidied, there is actually nothing to tidy up in that room. There is no need to clean the room, because the grandparents have nothing to do every day, so they are always cleaning. Their house can be described as spotless.
Not an exaggeration.
Therefore, they only needed to take out the sheets, duvet covers and quilts from the cabinet and make the bed for them. Because Xiang Jin was pregnant, Yan Chen didn't let her do the work of making the bed.
He did it himself, and she only had to stand aside and talk to him.
