Jiang Xiao couldn't say that he hadn't seen him before, to be precise, he should be very familiar, and he recognized him at a glance.
He and Lin Chengyu have lived together for more than ten years, and there are photos hanging in the house. Every Qingming, Jiang Xiao worships like his own relatives.
However, like the grandfather of the Lin family, it was the first time he saw each other in real life.
Jiang Xiao is also very patient with the elderly, and the experiences of the two lives are intertwined. It is always not easy to see the return of the dead.
He had contacted Yue Cheng, and the other party was also looking for this old man, and was in a hurry, so he planned to come over after answering his call.
Jiang Xiao fanned him, and took out a tissue to wipe his sweat. People in their 70s and 80s, people at this age will be somewhat childish, as old children say.
There was a small stall in front of the vegetable market. Jiang Xiao took him to sit there and waited, fanning him slowly, and asked, "Why did you come here? Have you eaten yet?"
It's mealtime now.
Grandpa Lin's family kept looking at the young man, and listening to him ask, he didn't feel it at first, but he got hungry when he said it.
He nodded lightly, then stared at Jiang Xiao again.
When Jiang Xiao first entered college a few years ago, the people from the Southern Union told him that this student is very powerful, and given time, he will become a master.
He was listening at the time, who knew that two or three years later, his small shop would really grow to its current scale.
His ability is indeed very strong, so Mr. Lin has looked for his photo a long time ago. The photo taken by the school’s ID card is so-so, and he doesn’t smile. This man is very strong and no-nonsense.
Just like Cheng Yu, when he is outside, he always has a straight face and doesn't say much, at most his personality is a little softer, anyway, that's what he imagined.
But after seeing the real person, it is really different from what I imagined.
Jiang Xiao's store tour today was a surprise visit. He was wearing ordinary clothes. After walking out of the shopping mall, he went to the vegetable market. He was not like a company boss at all, just like an ordinary person.
He spoke slowly to him, and he sounded very comfortable. When he smiled, he showed two small canine teeth, just like a student.
The grandpa of the Lin family thought of the can of winter bamboo shoot and old duck soup that he drank before. It was really a good craft.
Just thinking about it made him even hungrier.
He glanced at Jiang Xiao's full vegetable basket, and asked, "Are you going to go back to cook at night?"
"Yeah," Jiang Xiao said, "roasted chicken with taro, boiled shrimp, chicken soup with mushrooms, and sweet and sour short ribs. Today's beef brisket is good. You can make beef brisket with radish. Baicang fish is also very fresh, steamed and delicious .”
Home cooking, all sound delicious.
But before he could say much to Jiang Xiao, Yue Cheng came to him.
The same goes for the old man, he disappeared as soon as he turned around, and he didn't answer the phone, who knew he ran to Jiang Xiao.
At the small stall at the entrance of the vegetable market, the old man was sitting on a plastic chair. He is a very experienced person who has been in the business world for a long time, but when he met Jiang Xiao, his expression softened.
As soon as Yue Cheng passed by, he felt as if the old man had glared at him.
What are you doing so fast
It was Jiang Xiao who spoke first, and said, "Grandpa hasn't eaten yet. I just asked him, and he said he was hungry."
There are small stalls around the vegetable market here, but most of the stalls here sell fried rice, fried noodles, fried goods, barbecue and the like.
"Then follow me back," Yue Cheng said, "The organizer of the conference has dinner arrangements."
Jiang Xiao looked at the reluctant expression on Mr. Lin's face.
He ate that kind of banquet from young to old, and now he has no appetite at all.
"I don't want to eat those," the old man said, "It's better to be hungry."
Jiang Xiao found it interesting to hear it, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Why don't you come to our house for dinner?"
Elderly people are like this, if you can do what you want, do what you want. Jiang Xiao finally came out to visit the vegetable market during this period of time. He bought a lot of food. A lot of food would be stale in the refrigerator if he couldn’t finish it. An extra pair of chopsticks matter.
Yue Cheng thought to himself that the old man would not really intend to do so, and sure enough, he saw the other party nodded: "Okay."
Then I felt that this seemed a bit too straightforward, and added: "That's really... sorry for you."
"No trouble, no trouble," Jiang Xiao waved his hand, "Meeting you here today is also fate."
Xia Wanwan was also at home today, and when she saw Jiang Xiao bringing someone back, although she didn't know who the old man was, she knew Yue Cheng.
"Come in and sit down," she said, "We haven't had any guests at home for a long time."
After a while, after knowing that it was Lin Chengyu's grandfather, she became more enthusiastic: "I also know Xiao Lin, thank you for taking care of him all the time, I should have invited you to my house for dinner, but unfortunately I never had the chance."
After Jiang Xiao made money, he has been living in this house in Lishi. It is just over 100 square meters, and he and Xia Wanwan can live together. The location is very good, and it is very close to Xia Wanwan's and Jiang Xiao's companies.
In a small room, the decoration is very warm, completely different from the empty Lin family's old house.
The Lin family is also a big family. Apart from the descendants of the Lin family, the grandfather of the Lin family also has many relatives in various lines, but they have a lot to do with business, and every time they meet, they talk about interests.
Two sons, the eldest is dead, Lin Feng is not close, the younger granddaughter Lin Rongjia is influenced by her parents, she is stupid, she runs away when she sees him, Cheng Yu is good and treats him well, but he is busy.
After all, Lin Chengyu has taken over nearly 80% of the company's management work. Yongjiang is currently developing four real estate projects and two hotels are under construction. It was to be expected that no one would be seen.
Wing Jiang has developed to this stage, and it is a family business. Interests and feelings cannot be satisfied at the same time, but when people get old, they will always look forward to such a warm family atmosphere.
Even Yuecheng is the same. Grandpa Lin also understands why he keeps praising Jiang Xiao in front of him. This person has worked in the Lin family for more than 20 years and has always been serious, but he has obviously relaxed in the Jiang family. I don't see him laughing so many times.
Jiang Xiao's hands were quick, stewing the soup, frying the vegetables, and considering the poor stomach of the elderly, he even simmered a small pot of rice porridge.
The steamed fish and taro chicken are really delicious! The beef brisket was also stewed crispy, and when he put it in his mouth, it opened as soon as he sipped it. The taste was just what he wanted.
In addition to the strong taste, there is also the bowl of rice porridge. Even ordinary rice porridge is cooked differently from ordinary ones. Jiang Xiao’s kitchen is rich. There are casserole pots and matching stoves suitable for family use. It's delicious when cooked.
It was Jiang Xiao who stared at him and didn't let him eat too much, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable, so Grandpa Lin reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
From Yue Cheng's point of view, this scene was surprising enough. Grandpa of the Lin family kept his word at home. When did he ever obey him
Jiang Xiao is not strict, but his words really work.
However, after Grandpa Lin finished eating, he sat there drinking Xiaoshi tea, chatting with Xia Wanwan, and found that Jiang Xiao was not finished. A small pot of soup was simmering on his pot all the time. It doesn't mean to turn off the fire when it's over.
In addition to the pot of soup, there is also a small pot of porridge, which is just cooked and slowly simmered on the stove. The porridge with fish fillets and shrimps must taste very fresh.
That was what Jiang Xiao left for Fu Ruoyan.
I made a few phone calls before, and I thought I could make it in time for dinner, but I was delayed because of company affairs, so I never came.
He was so tired, Jiang Xiao was reluctant to let him eat leftovers, and he would come here very late, and he couldn't keep letting people eat small wontons. It would be better to drink soup and porridge at night, so it would be easier to digest.
Before Fu Ruoyan came, he also knew that Xia's mother was at home. He didn't expect to be alone with Jiang Xiao. It would be very difficult to meet and have a meal at home. After all, they are still friends.
He didn't even have time for dinner today, he just set off from Shenzhen City to the filming location, passing by Lishi City, and sneaked over to see Jiang Xiao in his busy schedule, just to recharge himself, when he arrived at Jiang Xiao's house, he was nine If you order too much, you will miss your meal time.
Grandpa Lin drank tea at Jiang Xiao's house, and secretly ate two pieces of snacks, completely unaware of the passage of time, it was too late and he was about to leave when he happened to brush off with Fu Ruoyan.
When he left, Fu Ruoyan's car was parked downstairs at Jiang Xiao's house, and then Grandpa Lin saw another young man.
That person walked towards Jiang Xiao.
As soon as Fu Ruoyan met, he apologized to Jiang Xiao repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, I've been delayed by something and made you wait so long."
"It's okay, I know," Jiang Xiao said, "Didn't you have dinner?"
Fu Ruoyan nodded.
"I knew it, I prepared it for you," Jiang Xiao pulled him upstairs, "No matter how busy you are, eat something anyway, to make up for it."
Grandpa Lin's car was parked there. He stared at the scene for a long time, but he didn't hear what the two were talking about, but it seemed that the relationship should be very good.
... That person is not Xiao Yu.
"Who is that?"
"Don't ask, it's his private matter." Yue Cheng was also a little embarrassed when he saw it, "You also know that Cheng Yu has an agreement with you, and he doesn't want you to interfere with Jiang Xiao's affairs. Besides, the young People's emotional issues are not something we can decide."
Yue Cheng has seen a lot. After all, he has experienced Lin Heyuan before, so it is useless for them to rush over this kind of thing.
Today's situation is special, after all, it just happened to happen, and Jiang Xiao took the initiative to invite him, otherwise, according to Lin Chengyu's temper, he would definitely be worried that his grandfather would embarrass Jiang Xiao, and he would not be able to tell when the time came.
After speaking, Yue Cheng started the car.
The old man sat in the back seat and remained silent until he was about to get home, when Yue Cheng heard him ask, "Is Xiao Yu coming back tonight?"
After asking this sentence, he remembered it himself, and continued: "... at the construction site."
Then Yue Cheng heard him let out a long sigh, with a sad look on his face.
"...you go to rest," Yue Cheng helped him walk to the room, "it's already very late."
They returned to Liujiang from Lishi, and it was already eleven o'clock. The elderly couldn't sleep too late. Lin Chengyu also watched every day, but Mr. Lin couldn't sleep today.
He turned over a few times on the bed, then sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, took out his cell phone, and called his grandson.
