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

Chapter 427 The feeling of home
"You little bastard, how could you be more cruel than your mother? Why did you throw away all my fabrics?"

Grandma carried a big bag of rags and wanted to take them back home.

"What do you want these for? Who mends clothes nowadays? Just buy new ones when they are torn." Shen Siyuan stretched out his hand and tried to snatch them away.

Grandma immediately put her hands behind her back.

"As for me, I just like to sew and mend, and you guys don't know how to save at all."

In the end, Shen Siyuan was no match for her and had to let her take it back.

Shen Siyuan didn't know until she cleaned up that she was shocked to find that she still kept some things from thirty or forty years ago.

For example, some old clothes, old shoes, bed sheets and quilt covers are now completely useless, but she washed them clean and put them at the bottom of the box.

At first, grandma stared at him as if he was monitoring a bad guy, watching his every move. Shen Siyuan was so angry that he laughed.

But as it was almost noon, grandma finally let her go and prepared to make something delicious for her eldest grandson.

"Grandma, please come back with me tonight."

"No, I'm fine on my own."

"That's not what I meant. Ruan Hongzhuang's parents are coming tomorrow, and I want them to meet you."

"This is a big deal. Your parents are so unreliable that I have to step in." Grandma said proudly.

"Yes, I have to trouble you again, grandma." Shen Siyuan followed her words.

The old man was so happy that he didn’t know how to cheer him up.

It is true that the older people get, the more they act like children.

"Her parents came this time, they must want to settle your affairs."

"I think so too."

Shen Siyuan did not object to this. Ruan Hongzhuang was extremely qualified, so Shen Siyuan was willing to marry her. Besides, he was also of marriageable age.

"If you want to get married, you definitely can't live in the countryside. If you live in the coastal area, you have to buy an apartment. I heard that housing prices are very expensive now, but it's not a big problem. Your father has earned a lot over the years. If it really doesn't work out, I have some money saved here, you can take it all..."

Grandma was chatting with Shen Siyuan while eating.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about these things. I have a house in Binhai. I will take you to see my new house in a few days."

"Hey, when did you buy it? How come I didn't know? Your parents didn't tell me either. How could they hide such a big thing from me?" Grandma put down her chopsticks and said unhappily.

For an elderly person, the two most important things in life are probably getting married and buying a house. It would be very disrespectful not to inform her about such a big thing.

"No, they don't know you either. The house was given to me by someone else." Shen Siyuan said.

"Was it given to you by someone else? Why would someone give you a house as a gift?" Grandma became a little nervous.

"How can you ask for something from someone without any reason? That's not nice."

Shen Siyuan smiled and pointed at her, and grandma seemed to understand something.

"Is it the elixir?" grandma asked in a low voice.

"Correct."

"That's okay. This is a good thing. I feel like I'm losing out if I exchange a magic pill for a house," said grandma.

"Do many people know about this?"

"not much."

"It's good that it's not too much. Don't talk nonsense outside. There are many bad people out there. It would be bad if they keep an eye on you."

"I understand, grandma. You know so much."

"Of course. Grandma is so old, she has seen all kinds of people."

……

Shen Siyuan stayed at his grandmother's house until the evening, and then strolled back to Linjiaopo with her.

The old woman's happiness is simple, as long as there is someone to chat with her.

When I got home, Huang Huijuan was busy in the yard, chopping bones on a chopping block with a kitchen knife in her hand.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Ms. Ruan's parents are coming to visit tomorrow. Is it okay if I don't come?" Grandma said firmly.

Huang Huijuan muttered in her heart: "What's the point of you coming here?"

But he couldn't say that, so he asked, "Then you'll stay here tonight?"

"Why, you're chasing me away before I even enter the door?"

"That's impossible. It was you who didn't want to live here."

Grandma didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, she looked at the knife stuck in the bone and sighed, "You look so troublesome. Why don't you let Jianjun do these things?"

"He's busy with other things in the kitchen, so I'll try it when I have nothing else to do."

"Let him do the hard work." Grandma said and went into the house.

"I'll go see if your dad needs any help. You help your mom finish the rest," said grandma.

No wonder Huang Huijuan said that she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Shen Siyuan bent down and reached out to take the boning knife off the big bone.

Seeing how light and graceful he was, Huang Huijuan clapped her hands and said, "Boys are still stronger. My palms are all blistered."

As he said this, he was about to open his palm for Shen Siyuan to see.

Shen Siyuan turned his head away in disgust.

"Why show it to me? Show it to my dad and let him feel sorry for him."

"You little bastard, I'm your mother, what use am I to you?" She punched Shen Siyuan and turned to go into the house.

Shen Siyuan raised the bone-chopping knife and with a few clicks, the big bones were cut into sections just like cutting cucumbers, and there was not even a single knife mark on the chopping board below.

Shen Siyuan took the cut bones to the kitchen, where Shen Jianjun was busy.

Only then did they realize that their hasty return from grandma's house that morning was not really an excuse, as they saw a table in the kitchen filled with dishes.

There are fried, braised, and stewed dishes... It is even more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year.

"You prepared so much?"

"It's my first visit, so of course I have to make it grand. Besides, Ruan Hongzhuang's parents are both people of status, so we can't make it too shabby. It will be too late to prepare these troublesome dishes tomorrow, so I'll prepare them in advance..."

Mr. and Mrs. Shen Jianjun had considered everything very carefully. They had thought of everything they could think of and had made all the necessary preparations.

"Can I help you with anything?"

"No need, just go out and don't get in the way here." Shen Jianjun waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan did not force it. He turned around, left the kitchen and went upstairs.

I went back to my room and found a pair of shoes for myself. It would be a bit inappropriate to go home barefoot.

When I came out of the room, I found my mother was cleaning the room for my grandmother.

Because she didn't come here often, the room originally reserved for her was covered with dust and filled with a lot of miscellaneous items.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing while cleaning up.

Grandma said she doesn’t know how to live, she said grandma is always thinking.

Sometimes it was mom laughing, sometimes it was grandma sighing helplessly.

Shen Siyuan didn't disturb them until they started talking about his grandfather in Shanghai.

My mother Huang Huijuan had seen my grandfather, but only once.

When she married Shen Jianjun, he rushed back from Shanghai to attend their wedding, and his later wife also came back with him.

Since then, apart from writing letters, he has never returned.

PS: No more, I will make it up tomorrow~
