The old man's heart was fine, but his blood pressure was unstable, and there was a blood clot in his brain. Li Jinnian paid close attention to him the entire time, afraid that his grandfather would be too agitated and cause problems.
The heater was turned on, and it was warm and comfortable to walk in. The old man was supported by Ye Chien into the living room. He introduced the furniture in the living room in a hoarse voice, "This place was renovated according to my wishes by the state. There isn't a single nail in the furniture, and it's all made of mortise-and-tenon construction. Look at the wooden sofa, it's all handmade by an old carpenter. It's sturdy, durable, and much better than those leather sofas or fabric sofas outside. "
"Do you see the curtains? They're made of cotton and linen. They weren't dyed with chemical dyes, but with ancient plants."
There were so many things he wanted to say and ask, so much so that the old man didn't know where to start. He was so touched that he couldn't say a single word. He could only talk about the environment he was living in now.
It could be seen that the state had meticulously arranged the old man's life in his later years. His food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all arranged according to the old man's wishes. From the large furniture to the small daily necessities, everything was arranged according to the old man's habits.
The old man was born in a wealthy family. He was a rich young master who had maids and manservants to serve him. Before the age of 28, his life was exquisite. His food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all top-notch.
Although he fell on hard times later on, the old man never gave up on life. He could live his life to his liking with just a bouquet of wild flowers, a wooden chair, a green bowl, and a pot of water.
It was because the old man and the old madam were open-minded and never lost interest in life that they were able to survive one crisis after another.
Even though he was old and retired, the old man still maintained his youthful attitude towards life. Ye Chien admired him.
"Everything in the house is what this old man likes. Later, I'll have Jinnian go out with you and buy some things that you girls like. Jinnian is your aunt's son. He's older than you, and he's your older brother. If you need anything in the future, you can look for him. "
The old man spoke very slowly, but he didn't stop for a moment. He wanted to chat with Ye Chien and get closer to Ye Chien. He wanted to make Ye Chien accept him as a grandfather who had never cared about her and didn't even know about her existence.
He also kept holding Ye Chien's hand, as if he was afraid that he would lose it if he let go. Even when he was sitting on the sofa, he still held onto it tightly. Every time he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ye Chien. He looked at him carefully, as if he was afraid that if he said too much, Ye Chien would get angry and leave.
Ye Chien saw how careful the old man was. His nose was stuffed.
"Please take a rest first. I will accompany you." Holding the old man's skinny hands, Ye Chien said softly, "I won't go anywhere. I'll stay here with you."
The old man's shoulders trembled. His eyes, which were filled with wisdom and calmness, were filled with tears. He gripped Ye Chien's hand tightly. His chest heaved violently.
"Tell Grandpa your name, and how old are you this year? Which military school are you studying at now? How have you been all these years? Have you suffered a lot? Tell Grandpa all about it … Grandpa wants to know, wants to know … "
The old man's voice was choked with emotion. Li Jinnian's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly said, "Please speak slowly. Ye Chien is here with you. Don't be so agitated."
He then said to Ye Chien, "Grandpa has a blood clot in his brain. He shouldn't be too agitated."
