Lin Huayin was known to be an iceberg woman. Not to mention in the company, even when she was with her parents, she had never been nice to her, including Ye Zanghua who was given the cold shoulder at the door. It was as if there was no one in this world who could make her smile.
But at this moment, when Xiao Zheng slowly walked into the dining room, Lin Huayin was holding the white-haired old man's hand with a face full of smiles, coaxing the stubborn white-haired old man. It was creepy.
Xiao Zheng knew who this white-haired old man was even if he used his butt to think. But as a guest, it was not convenient for him to greet him at this moment. He could only stand at the side with Ye Zanghua and admire Lin Huayin's coaxing skills. A young and beautiful woman was in charge of the kitchen at the side. Even the cooking maid was just helping out at the side. It seemed that tonight's feast was all handled by the woman alone.
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Zheng saw the woman in the kitchen. It was the black-framed woman who was teased by Ye Zanghua in the company. At this moment, she was dressed in home clothes, and her entire body was filled with a virtuous aura, and she was amiable.
"Grandfather. Aren't I back now? "Lin Huayin said with a face full of smiles. "Are you planning to make me angry for the rest of my life?"
"How long can I live?" The white-haired old man snorted and said unhappily. "Even if I make you angry for the rest of your life, you only have a few years left."
"Nonsense." Lin Huayin's face darkened, and she said coldly. "It's fine if you throw a tantrum, but don't push your luck."
Sure enough, this was Lin Huayin's nature. Even if she could pretend for a while, she could never pretend for a lifetime. In just a few minutes, she returned to her original appearance, and scolded the old man with a cold face. It was extremely absurd.
Seeing that Lin Huayin was angry, the white-haired old man hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Huayin, grandfather is just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously. "
Lin Huayin said lightly, "I'm not as petty as you."
"Mm mm —" Grandfather Ye smiled and nodded, then his gaze fell on Xiao Zheng's face, and he waved his hand. "Young man, come and sit."
"Eh?" Xiao Zheng quickly walked up and sat on the chair designated by the old man. He then quickly took out the gift from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Ye. "A gift for you."
"Thank you." Lord Ye gladly accepted it. He was not as polite as other elderly people. He took out a pack of cigarettes and asked. "Do you smoke?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded honestly.
Master Ye passed one to Xiao Zheng and lit one for himself. He waved his hand and said to Ye Canghua, "Why are you standing there? Go in and help. "
"Okay." Ye Canghua went into the kitchen obediently, without any resistance. It was obvious that he was very respectful of the old man.
Lin Huayin didn't stay idle either. She got up to get some fruits and prepared to make a fruit platter. As a result, there were only two men, one old and one young, sitting face to face at the dining table.
Xiao Zheng could see that in this family, other than Lin Huayin who dared to put on airs with the old man, everyone else was fearful. Even if Ye Canghua was a playboy and did whatever he wanted outside, he was as timid as a grandson when he returned home. He didn't dare to show off at all.
Xiao Zheng was also very tactful. He silently finished his cigarette and didn't say a word. He was very reserved.
"Can you get used to Beijing's climate?" The old man finished smoking leisurely. Xiao Zheng finished a cigarette in a few puffs, but the old man only smoked half a cigarette. As he spoke, the old man handed Xiao Zheng another cigarette.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded guiltily and added another sentence. He then added, "It's just that the smog is a bit heavy."
"In a few years, Mingzhu will also become like this." The old man smiled. "If you want to live in a good environment, you have to move to the countryside."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Yes."
After all, it was an eighty-year-old old man. Xiao Zheng really didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He was also very careful with his words, afraid that he might say something wrong.
"You've known Hua Yin for half a year?" Even though the old man didn't deliberately put on the attitude of an elder, the powerful aura that unconsciously leaked from his body made Xiao Zheng clearly understand that no matter how reserved and amiable the old man was, for him, it was filled with an indescribable pressure.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded. "More than four months."
"Maybe many people think that my granddaughter is hard to get along with and has a bad temper. But since you can get along with her for so long, you should know her personality, right?" The old man asked with a Smile.
"Hua Yin is very good. Also very good to me. It's just that she's not good at expressing herself. "Xiao Zheng said.
"This is a common problem in our Ye family. Her mother, her uncle, including me, we're all not good at expressing ourselves. "The old man smiled. "Please bear with it."
"It's fine, it's fine." Xiao Zheng said with a head full of sweat.
Seeing Xiao Zheng's face full of fear and trepidation, the old man couldn't help but show a gratified look in his eyes. Smile, he said, "I only have this granddaughter. I don't plan to share my love with other grandchildren in this life. So I've always been thinking about what kind of grandson-in-law my granddaughter will find for me. Now that I see it, not bad, I like you very much. "
Xiao Zheng was overwhelmed by the favor and said, "Thank you —"
"Grandfather, don't spoil him too much." Lin Huayin, who was not far away, said. "He can't stand being praised."
"If he's good, then he's good. If he's bad, then he's bad. Grandfather's eyes aren't bad. I can tell good from bad. "Grandfather Ye smiled and handed Xiao Zheng another cigarette. "What plans do you have for the future?"
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile. "I'm now the vice-captain of Hua Yin's security department."
"Yes. That's a good position. "Grandfather Ye nodded and said slowly. "When I was as young as you, I was still a farmer."
"Migrant workers are the driving force of society's progress." Xiao Zheng said.
"Even I don't believe that, do you?" Grandfather Ye looked at Xiao Zheng with a faint smile and asked patiently.
"—" Xiao Zheng said awkwardly. "Labor is definitely not a bad thing."
"Of course." Grandfather Ye said with a smile. "No matter who it is, surviving in society depends on a pair of hands. The biggest function of hands is labor. "
Xiao Zheng nodded. He didn't quite understand what Grandfather Ye was implying.
"Xiao Zheng. What do you think of our family? "Grandfather Ye asked with a Smile. His eyes were full of deep meaning.
"Alright." Xiao Zheng made the final decision.
"What's good?" Grandfather Ye smiled.
"Everything is good." Xiao Zheng said vaguely.
"I don't think anything is good." Grandfather Ye said without warning. There was an indescribable playfulness on his face.
"— —"
Xiao Zheng was confused.
He felt that there was a strong generation gap between him and the old man. They were not on the same channel when they talked. So tired.
"Let's talk about my daughter first. She's the mother-in-law you mentioned. She became a nun at such a young age and left such a big mess to her brother. Then there's my good-for-nothing son. He went into business after graduating from high school. He took the family's money but didn't care if there was a shortage of people. He worked for 20 years and didn't make any achievements. In the end, he still returned home. Then there's the wife I found for him. She's a good person. Smart and capable. She's usually filial to me. But she listens too much to that unfilial son of mine. She listens to everything and is ridiculously obedient. She spoils that son of mine until he's sick. "The old man said faintly.
"The voice-overs are finally good, right?" Xiao Zheng said, trembling with fear.
"Her?" The old man clenched his teeth. "She hasn't been home for three years. What's good about her? "
