Old Madam Ruan was so happy that she couldn't speak.
Ruan Danchen handed the phone back to Chen Minxia. Old Madam Ruan asked how long it would take for them to arrive. She estimated the time and hung up.
…
Because Old Master Ruan and Old Madam Ruan were old, they had a sister-in-law at home. Unlike the Qi family, who lived at home, they only cleaned the house, bought groceries, cooked, and left after cooking. There was a washing machine for laundry, but Old Madam Ruan did it herself.
But because today was the granddaughter that she had been looking for, Old Madam Ruan had to do everything by herself.
So when Ruan Danchen entered the house, Old Madam Ruan hadn't come back from buying groceries. It was the sister-in-law who opened the door for them. Because today was a family reunion, Old Madam Ruan didn't want outsiders to stay at home. Besides, this was a private matter of the family, and she didn't want outsiders to hear it. So before going out to buy groceries, she told the sister-in-law that she could get off work when they arrived.
So the sister-in-law took her bag, said goodbye to them, and left.
Chen Minxia took Ruan Danchen to visit the house before sitting down. Not long after, there was the sound of a key opening the door.
"Mom must be back," Chen Minxia said, and got up to wait at the door.
Ruan Danchen followed. When the door opened, she saw an old woman come in. Her short hair was dyed brownish-red, and she wore a colorful but not tacky embroidered coat. The wide sleeves and hem made her look very elegant.
Old Madam Ruan was in good spirits, and her face was young. She didn't look like a 70-year-old woman at all.
Chen Minxia quickly took the ingredients in Old Madam Ruan's hands. Old Madam Ruan put some that couldn't be carried on the ground, and hurried to see Ruan Danchen.
"Grandma." Ruan Danchen called out a little nervously.
Old Madam Ruan was stunned when she saw Ruan Danchen. After a while, she nodded absentmindedly. "Yes, you really look like Ke Yu."
Old Madam Ruan raised her trembling hand and reached out to Ruan Danchen. This extreme joy and excitement suddenly hit her, and she almost fell.
Ruan Danchen was quick to help her up. Old Madam Ruan immediately held Ruan Danchen's hand and touched it inch by inch. Then she touched her face. "You really … really look like your father. My granddaughter … My granddaughter … After so many years, Grandma finally sees you again, my child! "
Chen Minxia placed the dishes in the kitchen and came out. She said, "Mom, go and sit down first. You can slowly talk to Danchen. I'll go cook. "
"Okay, okay." Ruan Danchen helped Grandma Ruan into the living room and sat down. She saw Qi Chenglin standing up. "This is … your husband?"
Ruan Danchen nodded. "He's Qi Chenglin. We just got our marriage certificate and we're still preparing for the wedding. When the time comes, you can watch me get married."
Old Mistress Ruan sobbed and began to cry. "I didn't expect that I would be able to see you get married. We … we have to prepare your dowry! "
"Grandma, there's no need," Ruan Danchen said.
"Of course!" Grandma Ruan didn't let Ruan Danchen refuse and said, "It's been 27 years, and we haven't done anything for you. Don't you want us to do this little thing?"
"Why didn't you do anything for me? You haven't given up looking for me. It's already a great effort for me. Otherwise, if you had given up, how could I see you now? "Ruan Danchen said, but she didn't refuse. She knew that it was Grandma Ruan's intention.
"We're useless. We haven't been able to find you after so many years," Grandma Ruan said. She then asked about Ruan Danchen's previous life.
Ruan Danchen didn't want to say those things that would make the old mistress sad, so she only told her roughly. As for her and Qi Chenglin, she didn't say anything.
Ruan Keshan didn't want Grandma Ruan to think that Liu Ronghua was a good person. She had done all those disgusting things. Although she didn't say anything about Ruan Danchen and Qi Chenglin, she still told her other things.
"She … How can there be such a bad person in the world? She broke up a family. She will suffer retribution!" Grandma Ruan said angrily and touched Ruan Danchen's face.
"Have you told your father about this?" Grandma Ruan asked.
"Not yet. Dad is on the plane now. It's more than ten hours away. I can't tell him." Ruan Keshan said, "If I tell dad, he will probably come back soon. He won't even have a meeting."
"Of course, my granddaughter is more important." Grandma Ruan said very straightforwardly.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Grandma Ruan's face lit up. "Are my two great-grandchildren back?"
Ruan Danchen got up to open the door. Sure enough, it was Ruan Zeer and the little fellow standing at the door. Xiao Yang stood behind them.
After sending the two of them and completing the task, Xiao Yang left.
The little fellow rushed over like a little pig and hugged Ruan Danchen's leg. "Mom, why are you at Brother Ruan's grandmother's house?"
"I think it's better for you to tell Youxuan about this." Ruan Zeer said.
So when Qi Youxuan found out that Uncle Yang took him to pick up Ruan Zeer, Ruan Zeer only said that his parents were here and they were here tonight.
Ruan Danchen nodded and brought the little fellow over. "You can't call him Brother Ruan in the future. You have to call him uncle."
The little fellow looked over with a horrified expression, and felt several scorching gazes on him. The eyes were so loving that he had no idea what was going on.
"Mom found her family. It's not that I don't have family, but I was taken away when I was a baby, so my family couldn't find me. But they have been looking for me, and now they finally found me. "Ruan Danchen explained.
The little fellow's eyes widened. "Mom, have you found my grandparents?"
Ruan Danchen twitched his lips uncomfortably. "Grandpa and Grandma passed away when I was born."
"Was it your bad mother who took you away?" Qi Youxuan's little brain worked very fast.
Ruan Danchen nodded. Seeing the little fellow's angry look, she touched his little face. She pulled him in front of Grandma Ruan. "This is Mom's grandmother. You have to call her great-grandma."
"Grandma, his name is Qi Youxuan. He's seven years old this year."
The little fellow saw the old woman in front of him looking at him with tears in her eyes. Seeing the tears flowing down, he quickly took out a tissue from his schoolbag. His chubby little hand held the tissue to wipe Grandma Ruan's tears.
"Great-grandma, don't cry. You should smile when you see me happy." The little fellow squinted his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
"Ah, I'm smiling." Grandma Ruan tried hard to smile while crying.
She looked at Qi Youxuan in front of her. His chubby little face was like a pink dumpling, delicate and adorable. Furthermore, he was so sensible. His little hands gently wiped away her tears, melting her heart.
She quickly said, "Great-grandma can wipe it."
"No, I'll wipe it for you." The little fellow twisted his little body and squeezed into Grandma Ruan's arms. "Great-grandma, don't cry, or I won't have enough tissue."
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry." Grandma Ruan's heart melted. How could there be such a doting child?
She directly carried the little fellow on her lap. Seeing the little fellow smiling so adorably, Grandma Ruan could not cry anymore.
"This is Mommy's uncle. You have to call him Grandpa." Ruan Danchen said.
The little fellow immediately greeted them obediently.
Chen Minxia also came out when she heard the sound. When she saw the little fellow, she thought of the time in the supermarket when she saw how cute he was.
The little fellow cleverly called her grandmother, so he could only call Ruan Zeer uncle.
Grandma Ruan put the little fellow down. Ruan Keshan immediately took the opportunity to carry the little fellow over. Seeing the chubby little ball in his arms was extremely soft, he simply could not like it more.
The little fellow even took out the method she used to deal with her elders. She coaxed them until they were so happy that they couldn't find the north.
After a while, Grandma Ruan came back with a red envelope and a delicate mahogany box in her hand.
"Here, this is a red envelope from Great-grandma." Grandma Ruan looked at the little fellow affectionately.
In the afternoon, she received a call from Chen Minxia. Hearing that she not only found a granddaughter, but also a great-grandson, she was so happy that she did not know what to do first. Suddenly, she thought of giving a gift, so she took out the red envelope that she had bought during the New Year and stuffed 8,000 yuan into it.
The little fellow touched the thick red envelope and threw himself into Grandma Ruan's arms. "Great-grandma, you are so nice."
Ruan Danchen did not refuse the kindness of the elder. She said, "He is a little money-grubber. He usually takes the opportunity to earn money from his uncle and Chenglin's friends."
"Our Youxuan is so cute. I can't wait to give him all the good things." Grandma Ruan looked at the little white fat boy. She was so happy that she could not bear to move her eyes away from the little fellow.
"I also like Great-grandma. I like her as soon as I see her. She is very kind." Qi Youxuan smiled with his big eyes shining and his little face blushing.
Then he turned to Ruan Keshan and said, "I also like Grandpa very much."
As he spoke, a pair of big black eyes kept staring at Ruan Keshan's pocket.
"Grandpa, it's the first time we meet today!"
Ruan Keshan laughed. Being coaxed by the little fellow, his bad mood was gone. He quickly asked Grandma Ruan for a red envelope.
Since Ruan Keshan was in the hospital, Chen Minxia also spent a lot of money last night just in case. She sealed a red envelope for the little fellow.
The little fellow's sweet words made the others beam with joy.
Grandma Ruan got up and sat next to Ruan Danchen. She opened the mahogany box.
Ruan Danchen saw a few velvet bags in the box. The things were carefully kept.
Grandma Ruan took out the velvet bag and took out a pair of small gold bracelets. Another velvet bag contained a gold lock with the word "fu" engraved on it. In the other bag, there was a jade Buddha pendant, which was wrapped in gold.
"I bought these for you when your mother was pregnant. I wanted to give them to you as soon as you were born, but who knew …" Old Madam Ruan choked with sobs. Seeing Ruan Danchen stretch out her hand, she placed the gifts in her palm.
Ruan Danchen saw that these things were small and particularly delicate. She could see Grandma Ruan's thoughts at that time.
She knew that the Ruan family was not well-off at that time. Old Master Ruan and Ruan Keshan were ordinary teachers. At that time, their status was not as high as it was now, and the treatment was far less good.
She didn't know how long it took Grandma Ruan to prepare such a fine piece of gold and jade like this.
She saw Grandma Ruan's expectation for her birth and her love for her. This was the kinship she had been looking forward to for many years.
In fact, she had always had it, but she didn't know it.
Even if she couldn't receive it, the Ruan family had always been working hard for her.
"I kept it. I couldn't find you all these years, so I took it out every day to look at it. I thought that I must find you and give all these to you. What I was most afraid of all these years was that I couldn't give it to you in person. Now, I can finally give these things to you in person. "
Grandma Ruan gently stroked Ruan Danchen's wrist. "It's a pity that I can't see how it looks on your hand. Grandma … grandma really wants to see you wearing these. I want to see you when you were a baby, I want to watch you grow up, I want to take good care of you. We don't know what you were like when you were a child … "
As she said that, Grandma Ruan couldn't help crying, and Ruan Keshan also wiped his face.
At this time, they really hated Liu Ronghua. The tragedy of the two families and the pain of these decades were because of her.
How could that woman be so vicious? Grandma Ruan really hoped that she would be punished.
Why did she deprive them of happiness and separate them from their families?
Ruan Danchen could really understand Grandma Ruan's pain. At that time, she still knew that Qi Youxuan was living a good life in the Qi family, and he was loved by his family. Now she was so regretful that she missed him for seven years.
But what about the Ruan family? They had missed him for 27 years!
Even all these years, they had been in fear and on tenterhooks, because they didn't know how she was doing, and they didn't know where she was.
That was a hundred times more painful than losing Qi Youxuan!
There were still photos of the little guy when he was a child. The Qi family took a lot of them. When he was just born, when he was a full moon, and during the day.
There were also videos of him sitting up, when he could crawl, when he could call his father, grandpa and grandma, when he was swimming, and when he entered kindergarten on his first day.
Every moment of his life, every detail of his life, was recorded by the Qi family.
Although Ruan Danchen didn't participate in it, she saw it later. It could more or less make up for the regret.
However, there was not a single photo of her when she was a child. Liu Ronghua had never taken a photo of her or recorded anything. Even she didn't know what she looked like when she was a baby. And after she remembered things, her childhood appearance was also blurred in her memory.
Grandma Ruan could no longer see her childhood appearance.
Ruan Danchen suppressed her tears. She couldn't even satisfy the old lady's little wish, and became the old lady's eternal regret.
Ruan Danchen picked up the jade Buddha and handed it to Grandma Ruan. "Grandma, I can still wear this. Please put it on for me."
Grandma Ruan nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, but her smile was gratified.
At least, there was something that she could put on her granddaughter's neck.
The jade Buddha was matched with a gold chain, which couldn't be compared with the current platinum chain. It was also made in the past, and not very fashionable.
But Ruan Danchen didn't care.
Grandma Ruan picked up the jade Buddha and put it on Ruan Danchen. Ruan Danchen carefully put the jade Buddha into her clothes and wore it close to her body.
"These." Ruan Danchen touched the delicate little gold bracelet and gold lock. "Although I can't wear it, I can give it to my daughter."
Grandma Ruan suddenly froze, and then looked at her in surprise. Her eyes slid to her belly. "You …"
"I'm pregnant for more than a month. I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. I hope it's a girl." Ruan Danchen held Grandma Ruan's hand and covered her belly. "When the child is born, these can still be worn by the child."
Grandma Ruan nodded, but still said, "What's yours is yours, and the child is the child's. When the child is born, I will buy it for the child. This time, why … Take good care of the child. "
Ruan Danchen nodded.
Chen Minxia took the dishes to the dining room, put them on the table, and said, "Come and eat."
Everyone sat down around the table, and Grandma Ruan pulled Ruan Danchen to sit next to her. "I don't know what you like to eat. I was too excited at that time, and I forgot to ask. After thinking about it, I bought it according to Ke Yu's taste. You try it, and tell me what you don't like. I will remember. "
Ruan Danchen looked at the dishes on the table and said sincerely, "They are all what I like."
"Do you like the taste?" Chen Minxia asked with some uncertainty, looking at her with a pair of eager eyes. "I don't think you know Ke Yu, so I made it according to Ke Yu's taste. This way, you can also understand your father. But what flavor do you like? Tell us, and we will make it according to your taste in the future. "
Before Ruan Danchen could answer, the little fatty had already answered for her, "It's all what my mother likes. I like it too."
With that, the little fat hand held the chopsticks and looked at it eagerly. But since childhood, he had been taught by his family that if the elders did not eat first, he could not move.
"This child is not picky. As long as it is delicious, there is nothing he does not like." Ruan Danchen said with a smile, but also a little worried. He was trying hard to lose weight, but why was he still so chubby?
He was already seven years old. At this time, he was chubby and cute. If he was a little older and still chubby, he would not look good.
"Then eat more. What do you like best?" As Grandma Ruan asked, she had already broken a piece of chicken leg and put it in the little fellow's bowl. Then she picked up a lot of meat for him, which made the little fellow very happy.
"Meat, as long as it is meat, I like it!" Qi Youxuan picked up the chicken leg with his little fat hand and gnawed on it. His mouth was full of grease.
Ruan Danchen looked at them helplessly. Why did the elders of the two families look like they wanted to kick the fat little fellow?
Fortunately, in the old house, Grandma Ruan and Guan Liya had stopped. They also felt that the little fellow could not go on like this.
"Grandma, now he needs to lose weight. It's not good for him to be fat when he grows up. "Ruan Danchen whispered. She was also afraid of making the old lady unhappy. After all, this was the expression of the old lady's love for the child.
Fortunately, Grandma Ruan was also a reasonable person. Now that she had just recognized Ruan Danchen, she also felt that she had not become intimate with her granddaughter, so it was not good to criticize her granddaughter. Besides, Grandma Ruan had never been a person who told the younger generation how to educate the child.
It was the same for Ruan Zeer. Although he was her grandson, she did not intervene in how Ruan Keshan and Chen Minxia educated the child.
Now seeing that Qi Youxuan was chubby and cute, she also knew that being too fat was not good for the child's health, so she no longer added meat to the little fellow.
The little fellow saw that the situation was not quite right. It seemed that Grandma Zeng did not intend to support him in terms of eating meat, so he hurriedly gnawed on the chicken leg.
As a result, when he was so busy, Qi Chenglin slowly picked up most of the meat in his bowl and put it into his own bowl, leaving only a piece for Qi Youxuan.
