2620 Carry One In Your Arms, Hold One In Your Hand
The old man liked to listen to her talk. He laughed when he heard that. “Sure. If you have anything to worry about in the future and don’t want to handle it yourself, leave it to me. I’ll do all the worrying for you! In a few years, I’ll be even more willing to worry over you. You and your cousin will carry one child each back home. Hahaha, the house will be lively then.”
“I heard your laughter from afar. Why are you guys so happy?” Mr. Fu’s voice came from the door. Just as he was about to unlock the door and enter, Ye Jian rushed over and opened the study room door.
The door was still locked.
Mr. Fu came out of the kitchen wearing a dark-colored checkered apron. When the study door opened, he saw his daughter smiling brightly. She was obviously in a good mood… However, her eyes were a little red. She looked like she had cried.
“Did you cry? What were you talking about? You’re crying and laughing.”
Mr. Fu walked in and asked. Then, he looked at the old man who was smiling. He didn’t understand what was going on between the two of them.
Ye Jian hurriedly touched the corner of her eyes. Although she had already sought comfort from her grandfather, she was still a little nervous.
The old man could tell that his granddaughter was nervous. He took his walking cane and stood up. He laughed and said, “We were talking about something very joyous. I said that in a few years, she and her cousin would each carry a child in their hands and come home. The house will be lively then.
“My granddaughter is shy and can’t stand getting teased. She’s so shy that she’s about to cry.”
Hearing this, Mr. Fu was in a good mood. He smiled brightly and said to Ye Jian, “Your grandfather is right. It’ll be lively. After what your grandfather said, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Right? That’s what I said too. However, she’s still shy. Her cousin is 28 years old this year, and she’s 21 years old this year. In a few years, the house will definitely be lively.” The old man covered for Ye Jian.
“Jinnian is fine, but Jian… she can still wait. She needs to be careful. Also, Jian just came home. I want to keep her company for a few more years. Also, don’t you want your granddaughter to accompany you some more? Think about it. If she gets married soon, your granddaughter will become someone else’s granddaughter-in-law.”
Mr. Fu spoke very seriously. He wasn’t joking at all. As he spoke, he held the old man and reminded him carefully, “Be careful of your feet.”
Ye Jian, who was already worried about Lieutenant Colonel Xia, took over naturally. “Let’s lay carpets at home. The floors are slippery. If there are carpets, Grandpa will feel at ease walking at home.”
“Did you hear that? A few years ago, I said that I wanted to lay carpets so you could walk steadily. This time, your granddaughter mentioned it too. You should have listened to me, right?” Mr. Fu saw that his daughter was thinking the same thing as him and gave her a thumbs-up as a form of praise.
The old man didn’t reject them this time. He nodded in approval. “Yes, let’s lay out carpets. I’ll ask Dazhu to do it tomorrow. I don’t expect you to take on any responsibilities in the family. I just hope that you can do your job well.”
Mr. Fu felt guilty when he heard this. Before he could say anything, he realized that the old man didn’t mind at all. He waved his hand and said loudly, “Finish what you need to do so you can take care of your grandchild in the future. If you do that, I won’t argue with you anymore.”
The slightly sad atmosphere dissipated when the old man said the last sentence childishly. The entire family of three laughed.
