Accidentally entered a high gate

"Great!" Qi Chengyao jumped up happily. "Grandpa, I'm going to get ready. You go ahead with your work."

After saying that, Qi Chengyao was about to leave.

As soon as he turned around, Old Qi said, "Wait. Before I take you to your Grandpa Ma's house, I need to confirm a few things with you."

Qi Chengyao turned back to look at Grandpa Qi and said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you trying to confirm if I'm serious? And if I'll treat her well?"

Old Qi looked at him and laughed, "If you weren't serious, would you have waited so long at the exit?"

"Hehe...Grandpa, you really know me."

"Of course. You're Grandpa's eldest grandson, how could Grandpa not know you?" Old Ma already had children before he joined the revolution. He only got married after driving out the Japanese invaders. So, his eldest grandson is about the same age as Old Ma's youngest granddaughter.

"Hehe... So what do you want to confirm with me?"

"Are you sure you're willing to be both father and mother? Are you sure you can do your job well and manage your family affairs well? Are you sure you're willing to be bound by military law? Are you sure you dare to be Ma Xiaosan's son-in-law?"

Qi Chengyao: "..." He already knew the first three points, so why? The last one... "Is her father very strict?"

"Her father is not strict at all."

"Then why do you need to confirm with me whether I dare to be his son-in-law?"

Old Qi recounted in detail Ma Lifeng's "great achievements." "If you bullied his daughter, he might beat your bottom black and blue. Really black and blue."

Qi Chengyao: "..." No way? "He's the county magistrate now."

"Even if he becomes the governor, he'll still beat your ass to a pulp."

Qi Chengyao: "..." Really? "Don't you always use warnings and reprimands?"

"Warnings and slaps are no match for a good spanking. A good spanking will make you feel pain and show your true reaction."

"The real reaction?"

"You're in so much pain, and you still have the nerve to pretend?"

No.

Old Qi looked him in the eyes and said seriously, "Think it over carefully. Although your Grandpa Ma's granddaughter is a technical soldier, technical soldiers are too busy to take care of their children. Even if your Uncle Ma becomes the governor, he will deal with you directly."

"I understand. I will seriously consider it."

"Hmm. What brings you here so suddenly?"

I miss you and my grandma.

Old Qi glared at him. "Tell the truth."

"Alright. Grandma Cao is going to my house." The Grandma Cao that Qi Chengyao was referring to was his maternal grandmother. He was only six months old when his parents were sent to the countryside because of his grandfather's influence. His parents wanted his maternal grandmother to help take care of him. His maternal grandmother's family had been doing manual labor for eight generations. As a result, not only did his maternal grandmother not help, she also severed her mother-daughter relationship with him.

Old Qi: "..." He wished his eldest son were like Ma Xiaosan. "Is she sick?"

"She said she was sick. But she looks healthier than my mom. Not only did she refuse to leave my house, but she also wanted me to help her go for a walk. I got annoyed by her, so I came to stay with you and my grandma."

Did she ask your parents to help her children and grandchildren?

"Yes. My parents didn't agree."

"I understand. Go find your grandma."

"it is good."

After Qi Chengyao left, Old Master Qi picked up the phone again. A moment later, the call connected.

Qi Yansong's voice came through the phone. "Hello!" Qi Yansong was Old Master Qi's eldest son and Qi Chengyao's father.

"I heard from Chengyao that Old Madam Cao went to your house?"

"Yes. She's here for a medical checkup."

"Aren't the hospitals in Beijing better than the hospitals where you are?"

"I know."

"Hmph! Can't you learn from Ma Xiaosan?"

Qi Yansong: "..." Why did his dad suddenly bring up Ma Xiaosan? "Dad, didn't you used to forbid me from learning from Ma Xiaosan?"

Old Qi: "..." He never imagined that Ma Xiaosan was both hardworking and tireless. "The past is the past, the present is the present. Isn't Old Madam Cao constantly pestering you to find ways to benefit her children and grandchildren?"

I didn't agree.

"You're at a crucial stage of your career. She's constantly pressuring you; how can you not be affected?"

"I...I'll find a way to get her to leave."

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about this."

"Thank you, Dad."

"Hmph! Learn more from Ma Xiaosan in the future." After saying that, Old Qi hung up the phone.

Qi Yansong: "..." Why does his dad keep bringing up Ma Xiaosan today?

That afternoon, while Mrs. Cao's three sons were at work, they were suddenly called to the office by their boss.

An hour later, the three brothers stood in the yard, looking at each other. They looked at each other again…

After a long while, the three brothers finally said, "You two have also come back to reflect on your actions?"

After saying that, the three brothers fell silent again.

After a long while, Boss Cao finally said, "I made a small mistake."

Cao Lao Er: "The mistake I made wasn't serious. And three months have already passed."

Cao Laosan: "The mistake I made wasn't big, and several months have passed."

The three brothers fell silent again.

The three brothers all knew why the leader had called them back to reflect on their actions.

The three brothers didn't want to compromise. But...

After a while, Cao Laoda finally said, "The New Year is almost here, let's go to my sister's house and bring Mother back."

The next day, the three brothers went to pick up Old Mrs. Cao.

On the other end, Ma Jingshan hung up the phone and proudly puffed out his chest.

After getting off work, Ma Jingshan turned into the family compound and saw his granddaughter and grandson.

Ma Jingshan's lips instantly curled into a smile. "You're back?"

"Hmm." Wanwan ran to Ma Jingshan's left.

Yan Chuan ran to the right of Ma Jingshan.

Wanwan tilted her head, looked at Ma Jingshan, and smiled, "Grandpa, did you miss me?"

Yan Chuan tilted his head and looked at Ma Jingshan with a smile, "Grandpa, did you miss me?"

"Hahahaha..." Ma Jingshan raised both hands and ruffled the hair of his granddaughter and grandson. "Let's go home!"

The siblings: "Okay!"

After returning home, Ma Jingshan first asked about Wanwan's studies. Then he asked, "Do you know a brat surnamed Qi? Qi as in Qilian Mountain?"

Wanwan: "I don't know him."

Yan Chuan: "Grandpa, why did you ask my sister if she knew a brat surnamed Qi?"

Ma Jingshan briefly recounted Qi Lao's resume to the siblings. "He called me and asked if I had a granddaughter named Ma Yanlin, and if she was from the National University of Defense Technology. I said yes, and he said he wanted to be my in-law. I told him to get lost. Knowing him as I do, he'd probably bring his grandson to our door. Are you sure you don't know his grandson?"

Wanwan: "..." Could his grandson be the guy who told the train police they had a problem? "On the train back, I met a guy about my age. He said his surname was Qi. I didn't ask if it was the Qi of the Monkey King or the Qilian Mountains?"

Did that kid tell you his name?

"He said it. He said his name is Cheng Yao."

Upon hearing this, Ma Jingshan immediately said, "That brat is your Grandpa Qi's grandson. That brat is your Grandpa Qi's eldest grandson. Your Grandpa Qi came to our house specifically to tell me he had a grandson. What do you think of that brat?"

"I think he's mentally ill. Blah blah blah... blah blah blah... blah blah blah..."

"Hahahaha..." Ma Jingshan laughed for a while after hearing this, and then said, "Although that brat's method was neither honorable nor upright, it also proves one thing."

Ma Jingshan looked at Wanwan and laughed, "That means he didn't like you because of your looks."

Wanwan: "..."
