"It's not that far away. It's just a walk. Is this your wife?"
The old man's smile was gentle, and he looked even more lovingly when he looked at Feng Yanhong.
"Well, my wife Feng Yanhong, Yanhong, this is the second grandfather."
"Second Grandpa." Feng Yanhong called out.
Only then did Feng Yanhong remember that she had never asked if there was anyone else in his family.
"Okay, okay! Let's go home." The old man nodded kindly, pointed to the tricycle and asked Li Boshan to put the things on it.
"I'll do it."
Li Boshan put the things away and reached out to help the old man get on the tricycle. Feng Yanhong quickly pressed the handlebar to prevent the tricycle from shaking.
"Do you still know the road?"
"I recognize you. Sit tight and Yanhong gets in the car."
Three people and one tricycle, Feng Yanhong looked around at the bustling capital city. On the streets in the early morning, cars were coming and going, and the traffic of bicycles at red street lights blocked the lanes.
The women here are all dressed in a fashionable style, and there are many with permed and curly hair. There are large billboards on the street, advertising washing machines and refrigerators...
"How is your third brother?" Second Grandpa suddenly spoke, and Feng Yanhong also withdrew her gaze.
"It's still stable. My mother will retire in October and plans to take him to the capital for another check-up. The medical conditions here are better than those in Yincheng."
"Well, it should be."
"Are you feeling well?"
"Your second grandfather is still strong. I think we can wait for the great-grandson of our Li family."
This sentence made Feng Yanhong's cheeks turn red, but she suddenly thought that she never had children in her previous life, and her heart skipped a beat.
What about this life? Will it...
How could she forget this? What if she really couldn't give birth?
The two chatted intermittently. As for what they were talking about, Feng Yanhong didn't hear it at all.
"I'm home~"
When Feng Yanhong came to her senses again, the car had stopped in an alley. Looking around, there were many people around her saying hello to her second grandfather.
"Second Master, are you here to pick up your grandchildren?"
"Oh, your eldest grandson looks really like my young master."
The neighbors were very enthusiastic, and the second grandfather just smiled and nodded, but had no intention of talking.
Li Boshan parked the car in front of the door. The yard was a square courtyard. It was not big, not even 100 square meters in total. There was a persimmon tree in the yard, which looked to be quite old. There were two hangings under the tree.
There was only a birdcage, and two starlings fluttered restlessly in the birdcage when they saw someone coming.
"Chunrong's family has moved?" Li Boshan looked at the wing on the left.
"Well, we moved away and went to live in a building. I bought this house last winter. Now this courtyard is our own home."
"I have tidied up your room. I didn't know your wife was coming. Later, you can come out and dry the quilt in my room."
Li Boshan put everything into the wing on the right and took the enamel basin from the second grandfather's hand.
"Okay, we'll do it ourselves, don't do anything."
"Okay, you guys come on your own and I'll go to the alley to get you some food."
"Second Grandpa, we don't drink bean juice."
"I know, your second grandfather is not confused yet!"
"Come wash your face and wipe it."
"I have three grandfathers, brothers, and an aunt. Of the three brothers, my second grandfather is the only one left. My aunt married abroad and I haven't had contact with him for decades."
"My father is the only one left in my father's life. According to what the second grandfather said, my family's descendants are withering away and the family is in decline."
"If he drinks and complains at noon, we just listen and don't take it seriously."
Feng Yanhong nodded in shock and had some guesses in her mind, wondering what her family was like when they were not lonely.
Is he really the legendary big landowner? Is this courtyard his family’s old house?
She was actually a little curious about the second grandfather's complaints.
However, she was not made to wait long. During breakfast, the second grandfather drank two glasses of wine by himself. His eyes were still clear, so he slowly opened his mouth.
"Yanhong, although our Li family is in decline, we still have some foundation. If you marry into our Li family, I will never treat you badly."
"Boshan is now admitted to university and has returned to the capital. In the future, the Li family will finally be able to return to their roots."
"Don't look at what our Li family is like now. If we go back a hundred or two hundred years, our Li family will be famous in the capital circle."
The oil ring in Feng Yanhong's hand almost fell into the bowl, her mouth was open and she didn't close it, and she looked at Li Boshan.
Counting up to one or two hundred years? When will it be? Before the Qing Dynasty is overthrown?
The great eunuch Li Lianying in the play?
Well......
It doesn't seem right, that's a eunuch.
"Fortunately, you are back. Otherwise, I don't know how long I can last with my old bones."
Speaking of this, the second grandfather's eyes felt a little moist, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped his nose.
"I've never been honest in my life, and I haven't saved anything for my family. Your great grandfather asked me to look after the younger ones, but I didn't expect that your great grandfather had just been buried, and all his hind legs joined the army. That's right.
I don’t know whether I’m dead or alive.”
"It's been so many years since liberation, and people haven't come back yet, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back either..."
"Your father is also a wise man. I took him to Haishi and told him not to join the army. He lost his temper and would rather sever ties with me than join the army!"
"I didn't notice any of them!" Second Grandpa said sadly, and drank another glass of wine with his neck raised.
"Second Grandpa, my dad knows he was wrong..."
"Hmph! Fortunately, I'm back with nothing to do. Otherwise, I'd rather hang myself from the beam with a rope than I am an old man, and our Li family will be completely wiped out!"
"Hiccup~hiccup~" Feng Yanhong was choked so much that she hiccupped and quickly drank two mouthfuls of soy milk from the bowl.
The second grandfather glanced at Feng Yanhong, his eyes were not gentle, and continued:
"But fortunately, your father joined the army, and the six yuan monthly allowance prevented your second grandfather from starving to death during the famine years."
"Hey~ I'm getting old, and your father is not young anymore. The Li family will still have to rely on you three brothers in the future."
"Tsk!~ Your third child is so sick..."
"Don't mention it anymore. It's a happy event for you to be admitted to college. Let's not mention the unhappy ones."
"Let's go to Quanjude for lunch."
"No need, Grandpa. Let's go buy some groceries later and eat them at home."
Li Boshan quickly waved his hand and winked at Feng Yanhong.
Feng Yanhong understood the idea and nodded quickly in agreement with Li Boshan's words. "Yes, we eat at home. Try the food I cook. It will definitely be no worse than the food in the cafeteria outside!"
"Okay, then let's take advantage of my grandson's wife and eat at home."
