Xiao Pei glanced at the tall and burly Ning Chengyuan, stood up, and called "Brother Ning" with a slight blush.
Ning Chengyuan frowned and tightened his grip on Xuan Jiu's hand as if he was afraid of being eaten. However, Xuan Jiu felt that the situation was inappropriate and whispered to him to let go. Ning Chengyuan struggled for a long time before finally finally He reluctantly let go of Xuan Jiu's hand, said "hmm" lightly, and greeted Lao Lin and his granddaughter.
"I heard that Xiaoyuan is not married yet, right?"
As soon as Lao Lin said these words, his intention became even more obvious.
Ning Chengyuan frowned and was about to say something when his grandfather sitting across the table said solemnly: "I'm going to get married soon."
Lao Lin smiled: "Really or not?"
"My grandson already has a girl he likes. He will bring her back to my wife and me soon. You don't have to worry about it anymore!"
When my grandfather said this, his tone was very impatient, and he had no intention of leaving any favor to Lao Lin.
Lao Lin had been arguing with him for so many years and had already figured out his grandfather's temperament, so he wasn't really angry. Instead, he turned to ask Ning Chengyuan, "Xiaoyuan, is what your grandfather said true?"
Ning Chengyuan also nodded seriously and said, "It's true."
It was a bit embarrassing to be replaced by Xiao Pei now. She probably didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson really didn't leave any affection to her.
Next, Grandpa and Lao Lin were back and forth with each other without a word. Grandma was used to it. She made a plate of pastries and put it in front of Xiao Pei. She smiled and said, "Is Xiao Pei coming back to celebrate the New Year?"
Xiao Pei smiled and nodded, "Yes, grandma."
Although grandma didn't say anything, it could be seen that grandma was quite cold towards Xuan Jiu, and she really liked talking to that kid, Xiao Pei. However, Lao Lin didn't stay long before taking Xiao Pei back.
After dinner, her grandfather went out to feed the wolf cubs, and Ning Chengyuan was also called to work in the yard. Her grandmother waved to Xuan Jiu and asked him to follow her into the house.
Xuan Jiu felt something vaguely in his heart, but he still responded and entered the house with his grandmother.
Grandma pushed the chair away from him and said, "Sit down."
Xuan Jiu had no choice but to sit down and hesitated to speak, but he didn't say anything immediately. He saw his grandmother opening the cabinet and rummaging for a while before taking out a box hidden at the bottom.
Grandma dusted off the dust on it and opened the box gently. Inside was a piece of beautiful sapphire, "This was given by the Ning family when Xiaoyuan's mother got married. I looked at it. It's very nice, so I'll keep it and give it to Xiaoyuan when he marries a wife in the future. Although it's not a valuable thing, it can still be considered a commemorative thing."
Xuan Jiu felt even more uneasy when he heard his grandmother say this.
Grandma took out the piece of sapphire and looked at it for a while before handing it to Xuan Jiu.
Xuan Jiu was stunned and didn't dare to answer.
Grandma smiled and said, "It's okay. Help grandma take it to Xiaoyuan. Didn't he say he has someone he likes? Just let him take it to the child."
Xuan Jiu hesitated and said: "Grandma, why don't you give it to him yourself..."
"It's the same thing if you help grandma bring it to him." Grandma said, without any explanation, she put the sapphire in Xuan Jiu's hand, sighed and said, "Xiao Pei, this girl looks pretty good, but he didn't even take a look at it. , Xiaoyuan probably really likes that person. You can go back and tell Xiaoyuan that what his grandfather said before is what his grandmother meant. As long as the person he likes has good conduct and what kind of person he is, his grandmother can accept it. .”
