The next day when she came back from the market, she saw a black Santana parked at the alley. When she arrived in front of her house, she heard Xu Fulai's hearty laughter.
"Yan Hong is back? Come in and say hello to the guests."
"Hey, here we come." Feng Yanhong put down the basket in her hand, washed her hands and entered the main room.
There were five or six people sitting in the room, led by the old lady who was sitting with the old man. She seemed to be older than the old man. She had met Xu Fulai before, and the rest were not very old. They seemed to be Xu Fulai's children.
They are.
"Hey, Second Master, is this your granddaughter? She is really beautiful, Xu Ren..."
The old lady is thin, her gray hair is combed meticulously, and her eyebrows are kind and kind-hearted.
"This is my eldest grandson's daughter-in-law. She is as beautiful as my granddaughter, and her name is Grandma Xu."
The old man calmly interrupted Mrs. Xu's words and introduced the two of them.
"Hello, Grandma Xu!"
"Okay, haha... Second Master is lucky, his grandson and his wife are so filial."
The old man nodded modestly, smiled and said nothing.
"My dear daughter, come to the front." Mrs. Xu waved to Yanhong.
"Grandma didn't bring anything with her today. The quality of this jade bracelet is not that good, but it has been with grandma for decades, so it can be considered an old thing. It can even be regarded as a greeting gift."
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Feng Yanhong didn't dare to accept it, so she waved her hands.
"Why are you being polite to grandma? Your grandpa must have never told you that your grandpa saved my son's life and mine. Without your grandpa, we would have become nothing but dirt."
Feng Yanhong felt her heart tightening after hearing this. She always felt that the old lady's words had some hidden meaning, so she raised her head and looked at the second grandfather.
"Here, Grandma Xu will put it on for you."
Seeing the second grandfather nodded, Feng Yanhong allowed the old lady to put the bracelet on her.
"Yan Hong, go prepare lunch."
"good."
When Feng Yanhong left the main room, she took off the bracelet and put it in the cabinet in her room without looking at it too carefully.
There is no way to cook with this thing.
Old Mrs. Xu seems to be a very talkative person. She can only be heard talking to her second grandfather outside the house, and Xu Fulai's voice can be heard occasionally.
Feng Yanhong prepared fourteen dishes as usual, but this time she prepared the braised food two days ago instead of buying it ready-made.
Feng Yanhong and Li Boqing sat down at the bottom. Today's meal was particularly quiet, and they were more reserved than when they usually ate at home.
Mrs. Xu glanced at Feng Yanhong several times, intentionally or unintentionally, especially on her wrist.
At this time, Feng Yanhong couldn't leave the dinner table to put on the bracelet, so she could only pretend not to see it.
After lunch, Mrs. Xu only drank a cup of tea, then got up and left.
The old man did not get up to see the guests off like before, but asked Li Boqing to see off the guests on his behalf.
"Humph! I really think that if I have a little money, I will have face!"
Feng Yanhong's body trembled and she held her breath. She had never seen her second grandfather angry before. This was...
"Yanhong, remember in the future, even if you become rich in the future, never forget the roots."
"If a person cannot keep his duty, he may not be able to survive for long."
She could not guess what the second grandfather was thinking, and now she could only nod in agreement.
"You were right not to bring that bracelet out today. Such a broken bracelet is not worthy of my grandson-in-law of the Li family. Don't bring it out again in the future."
"Hey, good!"
Li Boqing had a sad face when he walked in, as if someone had offended him.
"Second Grandpa, this family will never get along with each other in the future."
"The old lady told her son before anyone had even walked three steps away that you wanted to pave the way for future generations and make her son be careful. I'm afraid you meant this to me!"
Feng Yanhong now understood that the old lady was afraid that the Li family would take advantage of them.
"Your grandfather, I want to pave the way for you, but such a person is not worthy!"
The second grandfather was angry, and his expression at this moment was a bit cold and disdainful.
"My foundation is not yet stable, so I am eager to break up with others. I want to settle old grievances with me just because of a broken bracelet. I really think that our Li family is in ruins, and we are not as good as her in every way."
"What the hell!"
"Second Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry for such a person."
Seeing the old man getting more and more angry, Li Boqing quickly stepped forward and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Don't be angry. I didn't pay much attention to that matter at first. It was just a matter of building a good relationship with a little effort."
"Since good karma is here, we won't force it and just let it take its course."
The second grandfather carried the birdcage outside the house. Feng Yanhong and Li Boqing did not dare to come forward and disturb him again. They closed the table together.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If you cook a delicious meal for the second grandpa tonight, he will definitely forget about it."
"Okay." Feng Yanhong has been with her second grandfather for so long, and she still somewhat understands their temper.
"Actually, I know a little bit about Grandpa Second's thoughts these days. He hopes that our family will return to the capital."
"My eldest brother and I are both in the capital now. The second grandfather wants to give us more connections while he is still in good health."
"But the Li family has been in decline for decades. Even if those people still remember the old kindness of the Li family, they may not help anymore..."
Li Boqing pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking. He picked up the kettle on the stove and poured it into the basin.
The dense mist rose, and Feng Yanhong's heart felt hot.
No wonder Second Grandpa asked her to come in to receive the neighbors, because this is where she will live from now on, and based on Second Grandpa’s past affection, those neighbors will not be xenophobic.
Letting the two brothers go in to receive foreign guests is also to make the two brothers become familiar with each other, so that they will have less difficulty in doing things in the future.
What about the Xu family? Is it because she wants to open a snack shop?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she should know about Grandpa Second's good intentions and keep them in mind.
Does Li Boshan know?
Feng Yanhong carefully thought about Li Boshan's behavior in the past few days and noticed something was wrong.
He has been suppressing his emotions these days, and often falls into a daze when he comes out to get water.
He knew that these things he could not change for the time being, so he was struggling in his heart.
The dense fog dissipated, and Feng Yanhong saw Li Boqing's face clearly, and her heart was shocked.
This kid usually seems to be optimistic and positive, but his thoughts are even more serious than Li Boshan's!
The emotion contained in his eyes made her a little shocked, even scared.
That emotion seemed to carry an invisible force, heavy and negative...
"Bo Qing, these are what Second Grandpa wants to do for you. Whether he can pave the way for you and how many connections he can save for you, I think Second Grandpa also has some ideas in his mind."
"The Li family may be in decline in the eyes of others, but we can't take away that energy ourselves, don't you think?"
