Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 29 Grandma
"Siyuan, are you here alone? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Grandma took Shen Siyuan's hand and looked at him carefully. There seemed to be light in her eyes. Her hands were very thin, almost skin and bones, and the protruding blue veins were clearly visible.

"I'm sorry, grandma. I will come back to see you often in the future." Shen Siyuan said.

But after he said this, he found it so familiar. This was not the first time he said this.

"Why say sorry to grandma?"

Grandma pretended to be angry and pulled him into the house.

"Grandma will get you something delicious," she said.

He walked into the house happily, and then took out a bag of bread from somewhere.

Shen Siyuan took it, looked at it and said, "Grandma, it's expired."

"Expired?"

Grandma looked at the large bag left in her hand and sighed deeply.

"I left it too long, I'm sorry."

She apologized to Shen Siyuan guiltily.

Shen Siyuan suddenly felt his eyes moisten, and he tried to hold back his tears and said, "Grandma, what's there to apologize for? It's not your fault. I haven't been home for too long. I should be the one to say sorry."

"Our Siyuan has grown up and learned to speak." Grandma said with a smile.

"By the way, grandma, mom and dad also brought you some things." Shen Siyuan said hurriedly.

Then he took down everything on the back seat of the motorcycle.

"These are two old hens. They have been cleaned and cut into pieces. I'll put them in the refrigerator for you. Remember to take them out to make soup. Don't keep them for a long time..."

"And the same goes for the eggs. You have to cook them before eating. Don't be reluctant. It's hot now and they'll go bad easily if you leave them for too long..."

"And this pair of shoes, mom bought you..."

"This is a box of electric mosquito coils. I'll teach you how to use it later..."

"And these blood pressure medicines, you must remember to take them every day, don't throw them away secretly, take care of your body, if I find out, I'll be angry..."

……

"Good grandson."

"what happened?"

"You're so annoying. Why are you as nagging as your parents?" Grandma said with a smile.

"You said I've grown up. When people grow up, they become more talkative." Shen Siyuan said.

"Then it's better for you not to grow up. Grandma likes the way you stay young." Grandma said.

"No matter how old I am, I am still your grandson."

Shen Siyuan was carrying the things and was about to help her put them into the refrigerator, but then he found out that the refrigerator was not plugged in at all, so she was using the refrigerator as a storage cabinet.

"Electricity is very expensive and I don't need it. There's no need to waste the money," Grandma said confidently.

"No matter how much money I can waste, it's not worth this." Shen Siyuan said helplessly.

"You can't spend it carelessly, you have to save it. You haven't married yet. By the way, your mother has arranged so many things for you, but you don't have anyone you like?"

"Grandma, can we not talk about this?"

"Grandma doesn't want to mention it, but she's anxious. Don't be too picky. Tell her what kind of person you want to find?"

Grandma held Shen Siyuan tightly, as if he would fly away if she let go.

"Grandma, I'm really not picky. I just want to find someone who pleases my eyes." Shen Siyuan said.

"You're not choosing this? This kind is the hardest to find."

"Hey, grandma, you really know a lot."

"Grandma won't rush you, but I'm old now, and I don't know if I can see the day when you get married. Just think about it, I won't be at peace even if I die..."

You call this not urging me? You are urging me too much.

"Grandma, you are in good health. You will definitely be able to wait until that day."

"I know my body, can you know it better than me?"

"I understand. I will find a girlfriend as soon as possible and bring her back for you to take a look." Shen Siyuan patted his chest helplessly and promised.

"My dear grandson, please don't lie to grandma."

"What are you saying? When have I ever lied to you?" "Well, grandma believes you."

……

"My dear grandson, how many days will you stay at home this time?"

"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"I can't help it. I have to go to work on Monday."

"Then you stay here with me tonight and go back tomorrow afternoon."

"No, that won't work. My mom introduced me to a girl and asked me to meet her tomorrow morning."

"Oh, yes, yes..." When talking about the object, grandma immediately became excited.

"Then I won't keep you here tonight. It's summer, and my place isn't as convenient as your home. You should go back and dress yourself up and change your clothes..."

"I'm pretty good in this outfit now."

Shen Siyuan chatted with his grandmother for a long time and also taught her how to use a mobile phone.

My dad bought her a mobile phone for the elderly, which has a loud voice, long standby time and is easy to operate. He said that my grandmother doesn't want to learn it and can't learn it, which is impossible.

When Shen Siyuan was teaching her, she was so happy that she didn't know how happy she was. She fiddled with it again and again, and asked again and again...

"Press this to answer the phone. I'll call you when I have time..."

"When this battery shape above becomes empty, you must remember to charge it..."

"Have you memorized my number? If you miss me, just call me. I have plenty of time, so any time is fine..."

"Will that disturb your work?"

"No, a phone call won't delay it."

"That's good, but how can I see you on the phone?"

"Hey, grandma, you also know about video calls." Shen Siyuan was a little surprised.

"I heard from Guizhi that she often talks to her son Taotao."

The Guizhi mentioned by grandma is from the same village. Her son and daughter-in-law take their grandson to work in another place, and they often call her via video. However, she is only slightly older than Shen Siyuan's mother.

"Your phone is not good enough. You need to buy a phone that can do video calls."

"Then why didn't your father buy me a mobile phone like that?" Grandma said angrily.

Uh~, Shen Siyuan didn’t know how to explain. She couldn’t even use an old phone properly, let alone a smart phone.

"Is that cell phone very expensive?" grandma asked again.

"well enough."

"Look how stingy your father is. He just doesn't want to buy anything for me. I don't know what he does with all that money. He should spend what he should spend." Grandma said dissatisfiedly.

That's not what you said just now.

"Grandma, I'll buy it for you next time I come back."

"Why spend that money? Just ask your dad to buy it for me, and keep the money for yourself."

"Okay, I'll tell him when I get home tonight."

Shen Siyuan stayed at his grandmother's house until the evening, then left on his motorcycle.

It wasn't Shen Siyuan who wanted to leave, but his grandmother urged him to leave.

Although she was reluctant to let him go, she was also afraid that he would be unsafe on the road at night.

Before leaving, she forced a hundred yuan into Shen Siyuan's trouser pocket, refusing to accept it.

Shen Siyuan couldn't persuade her, so he could only keep it for now and go home to ask his father to return it to her next time.

"When we meet the girl tomorrow, we'll take her to town to buy some delicious food," she said.

"I know, let's go."

Shen Siyuan stepped on the accelerator and drove back the way he came.

After riding for a while, I stopped the motorcycle and looked back, only to see my grandmother following me from a distance and they had already walked out of the village entrance.

Her eyesight was poor and she couldn't see clearly at this distance, but she still raised her arm and waved.
