Chapter 437 Grandma's Love
Shen Siyuan finally understood why his grandmother had always grown coriander, because Shen Guanchao liked to eat it.

The cold coriander salad, with some dried shredded vegetables and peanuts, is drizzled with red oil. The combination of red and green is not only visually beautiful, but also tastes very good.

"Do you still remember that I like to eat this?" Shen Guanchao was very happy.

"If you like it, eat more. I'm afraid you won't have the chance again in the future." Grandma said with a smile.

"It's okay. I'm satisfied to be able to eat it again. Guiyan, you should try it too. Your aunt Suzhen's cold cilantro is absolutely amazing. I've been craving for it all these years."

Shen Guiyan took a bite with chopsticks and said with a smile: "No wonder you often ask if the restaurant has this dish when you eat out. It turns out that this is the reason."

"Unfortunately, very few restaurants have this dish, and even if they do, it's not authentic. I've tried to make it myself before, but I always felt that the taste was not right." Shen Guanchao said.

"That's because the peppers you use are different. This chili oil uses peppers produced locally." Shen Jianjun answered his question.

Shen Guanchao and his grandmother sat in the first seat, Shen Guiyan sat on Shen Guanchao's left, Shen Jianjun and his wife sat opposite them, and as the younger generation, Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang naturally sat at the bottom.

However, it was Shen Jianjun and Shen Guiyan who were talking almost exclusively at the table.

Shen Siyuan was busy eating, and from time to time he would pick up some food for Ruan Hongzhuang and his mother Huang Huijuan.

The square table is large, but it is not a revolving table, so if you want to get some dishes, you have to stand up or stretch your arms.

Ruan Hongzhuang naturally would not be rude and stood up to pick up things from the table. Her mother Huang Huijuan was a bit socially anxious. Although one was her father-in-law and the other was her sister-in-law, one was meeting her for the second time and the other she had just met, so they were no different from strangers. Therefore, she was not very relaxed.

Shen Siyuan didn't care about all this at all. He waved his chopsticks and picked up food from all over the table, which made Shen Jianjun glare at him several times. However, Shen Siyuan pretended not to see it.

Shen Guanchao saw it and said with a smile: "As long as he can eat, he is not picky about food. Looking at his figure, he must be in good health."

It's more than awesome, it couldn't be better.

When talking about her eldest grandson, the grandmother showed a very bright smile on her face.

"This kid has been tough since he was young. He eats several large bowls of rice at a meal. His father is busy working and his mother is teaching at school, so I am the one who takes care of him..."

"He was very filial. At that time, there was no running water. He would go to the village to fetch water every day after school and fill my water tank. Every time I went to fetch water myself, he would get angry with me..."

"The chickens and ducks I raised were eaten by him before they could lay eggs. I have to wait until his father opens a breeding farm so that we can have meat..."

……

When talking about Shen Siyuan, grandma seemed to have endless things to say.

Shen Jianjun did not interrupt her, but silently put some food into her bowl.

After seeing this scene, Shen Guiyan had a deeper understanding of the family atmosphere of Shen Jianjun's family. To be honest, although their family was large, they were not as close as the family in front of her. Whether it was her two brothers or she and her parents, there was a slight sense of alienation.

This sense of alienation certainly did not exist from the beginning, but was gradually formed after everyone grew up and started a family.

But this family in front of me, with a kind father and filial children, and a close relationship, is really enviable.

How can the children raised in a virtuous and kind family be bad?
She thought about what her brother and sister-in-law had said before she came to Qionghai, which seemed a bit petty and presumptuous.

After Yu Suzhen and Shen Guanchao divorced, no matter how hard or poor they were, they never looked for each other. How could children raised by such people try to cling to their family for power and money?

"Grandma, I'll be back to Binhai in the afternoon. If you miss me, just call me." Shen Siyuan said.

"It makes me angry when I talk about this. I called you several times a few days ago but couldn't get through." Grandma pretended to be angry.

Ruan Hongzhuang immediately said, "Grandma, call me directly from now on. I guarantee you will find Siyuan."

"Ruan Ruan is still the best." Grandma said with a smile.

"Are you very busy at work? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?" Shen Guanchao asked.

He knew that Shen Siyuan was deliberately avoiding him.

"There's no need. Binhai is not far away. I can come back anytime when I miss grandma." Shen Siyuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianjun looked at Shen Siyuan helplessly. These were all excuses.

However, it was his mother Huang Huijuan who secretly gave Shen Siyuan a thumbs up.

Although she and her grandmother had always been at odds, she actually felt unfair for her and was not too fond of this father-in-law who suddenly appeared.

"That sounds nice, but I don't see you come back often." Grandma said with a smile.

Shen Siyuan:... "Grandma, why don't you come back with me to Binhai and spend some time there?" Ruan Hongzhuang said hurriedly.

Grandma waved her hand and said, "I won't bother anymore. I'm fine at home. I'm not going anywhere."

Ruan Hongzhuang wanted to persuade her again, but Shen Jianjun said, "Just let her do what she wants. She doesn't even want to go to my place, let alone Binhai."

Seeing that the mother and son, and grandparents and grandchildren had a harmonious relationship and excellent affection, Shen Guanchao felt gratified but also filled with disappointment.

After lunch, Shen Guanchao took out a brocade box from his luggage and handed it to Shen Siyuan.

"I wanted to see you off before I left, but since you were going back to Binhai, I'll send you off early."

"what?"

"It's a watch. Your aunt helped you choose it. Try it on and see if it fits you."

As Shen Guanchao spoke, he stuffed the box into Shen Siyuan's hand, but Shen Siyuan dodged and did not take it.

"No, I don't like wearing these things."

"How can a man be without a good watch?" Shen Guanchao said.

In their era, a good watch was a symbol of identity and status. Almost everyone with a little status would wear a watch. Of course, it is still the same now, but it is just a higher-end crowd.

"That's really not necessary. If I really wanted it, I would buy it myself."

"Can that be the same?"

"What's the difference?" Shen Siyuan refused to accept it.

But old man Shen Guanchao was also stubborn and insisted on sending it.

Shen Jianjun couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Siyuan..."

He wanted to persuade Shen Siyuan to accept it, but Shen Siyuan glanced at him and immediately said, "Give it to my dad."

"He has other gifts." Shen Guanchao said.

"Then you keep it for yourself."

Shen Guanchao was helpless and looked at Ruan Hongzhuang beside him, wanting her to persuade him, but Ruan Hongzhuang just looked away and pretended not to see it.

It was impossible for her to side with Shen Guanchao, but it was also not easy for her to support Shen Siyuan, after all, he was his grandfather.

But at this moment, grandma spoke.

"My eldest grandson is very ambitious. If he doesn't want to accept me, don't insist. I'll give it to you..."

Grandma said this, taking Shen Siyuan's hand and heading towards the village entrance.

As she walked away, she whispered, "It's okay if you don't want his things. Since your father can't be cut off, just let him be. If you don't want to associate with him, then don't do it in the future."

"We don't want their things, and they don't want ours either..."

"Grandma hopes you're well. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Grandma can't do anything about it. This is how life will be..."

……

"Grandma..." Shen Siyuan called out.

His voice was trembling a little. In his mind, grandma's position was unique, even higher than that of his biological parents.

Just as grandma said before, he was raised by grandma when he was young, so naturally they have a special relationship.

Grandma took Shen Siyuan's hand, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs. He left me that year, that was my fate, so birth, old age, sickness and death are also his fate. I will tell your parents not to reveal anything..."

"Grandma~"

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was standing aside, also missed her grandma a little at this moment.

PS: No more~
