Chapter 312 Grandpa's Grievances

Nearing noon, the pork ribs and fish stewed by Ning Jingmo were cooked, and the smell was fragrant.

Ning Jingmo asked the two children to set the table, and he served the fish first, leaving the spareribs to absorb the juice.

Xia Songlan was about to help him.

At this moment, she received a call from her grandfather, "Songlan, you must go back to your grandfather's house right now, immediately."

"Is there something wrong, Grandpa?

Are you feeling unwell? Or something else? "

Grandpa was full of energy, "I'm fine, I just want you to come home, remember don't come alone, bring Jing Mo back as well.

Remember...you both have to come back."

After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xia Songlan to react.

Xia Songlan looked at the phone, a little dazed.

Ning Jingmo walked over, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"I don't know. Grandpa called and asked us to go back now."

Ning Jingmo was holding a fish basin in his hand, with a whole stewed fish in it.

"What are you waiting for? Go upstairs and change your clothes. I'll turn off the fire and we'll go out."

By the time Xia Songlan changed her clothes and came downstairs, Ning Jingmo had already taken care of the two children and had put on his coat.

The two children sent them to the gate, and Xia Songlan got into Ning Jingmo's car and went to her grandfather's house together.

Ning Jingmo was afraid that Xia Songlan would be hungry, so he always carried a lunch box in his hand.

Xia Songlan was so flustered just now that she didn't notice it at all. After they got in the car, Ning Jingmo handed her the lunch box and said, "Eat something first. Don't go hungry."

Xia Songlan was surprised, "When did you take it? Why didn't I notice it? Did you eat it?"

Ning Jingmo nodded, “I tasted a few pieces of meat when I turned off the fire just now, and Ziqing brought me half a bowl of rice.

While waiting for you, Tianya fed me two more bites of fish.

Ziqing also gave me an apple. "

Xia Songlan smiled and pinched him, then opened the lunch box. The aroma was tangy, with a layer of rice at the bottom, and on top were fragrant spare ribs on one side and large pieces of fish on the other.

The color alone is tempting, and the smell makes your mouth water.

Xia Songlan picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and fed it to Ning Jingmo.

Ning Jingmo swallowed it in one gulp, holding the meat in his mouth, and reminded Xia Songlan, "Eat it, or it will get cold."

Along the way, Xia Songlan ate while feeding Ning Jingmo.

Unfortunately, it is just an ordinary aluminum lunch box and can’t hold much.

Xia Songlan was 50% full.

I’m afraid Ning Jingmo can’t even reach 30%.

Soon, they arrived at grandfather's house.

They thought it was just the two of them, but when they arrived, they realized that everyone was gathered at Grandpa's house.

My uncle's family, including Xia Juanjuan and Zhou Guoqing, were all there.

My second uncle and his wife were both there. Their only daughter, Xia Xique, stayed in the countryside when they went to the countryside.

She seldom came back in all these years, but I didn't expect that she would come back this time. Not only did she come back by herself, but she also brought her man back with her.

Xia Chuanbai, the crazy experiment fan, was also pulled back from the laboratory by his grandfather.

Xia Suhui and her family of three were also there.

In addition to their big family, there was also a middle-aged woman about 50 years old.

Xia Songlan had seen her before. She was Aunt Zheng, the nanny hired by her grandfather.

Originally, Xia Sumu found a nanny for his grandfather, but his grandfather disliked her very much, so he later found Aunt Zheng himself.

Aunt Zheng has been taking care of grandpa for so many years, and everyone has been living in peace.

Xia Songlan had heard from Zhou Sangning before that Aunt Zheng was a widow.

Her husband died when she was young, and she struggled to make ends meet with her son and daughter.

He is also a poor man.

Aunt Zheng has fair skin, a slightly plump figure, and a kind smile.

When Grandpa saw Xia Songlan and Ning Jingmo coming, he just waved at Ning Jingmo, "Jingmo, come and sit next to Grandpa.

You are the most senior official in our family, and you have the most potential, so you come and make the decision for Grandpa."

Ning Jingmo looked at the many elders in the family and didn't dare to act arrogantly. He waved to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I'll just sit here at the door. If you have anything to discuss, I'll listen."

Grandpa was not happy, "Come over if I tell you to. Who among them is more promising than you, who has a higher position than you?"

You are in charge of a division, but what about them? Men cannot control their wives, and women cannot control their mouths.

This family is almost going crazy because of them.”

As he spoke, he glared at everyone present angrily.

Xia Sumu was afraid that Ning Jingmo would be embarrassed, "Go ahead, Grandpa asked you to go, so just go and sit there. Listen to Grandpa's thoughts."

After hearing what Xia Sumu said, Ning Jingmo nodded and sat next to his grandfather.

The seat where he sat was previously occupied by his grandmother. Ever since she passed away, no one sat there when the family discussed matters or had gatherings.

This time, Grandpa let Ning Jingmo sit there. Except for Zhou Guoqing who felt a little uncomfortable, no one else had any objections.

After all, as grandpa said, no matter who is present, it can be said that all of them combined are not as high-ranking as Ning Jingmo.

When Grandpa saw that everyone was finally here, he pounded the ground vigorously with his walking stick a few times and said, "Now that everyone is here, stop arguing.

I discussed this matter with you three brothers before, and you all disagreed.

Now call the whole family here, men, women, young and old, I don't believe it, what's wrong with me remarrying?"

As he spoke, Grandpa turned his head and asked Ning Jingmo, "Jingmo, you are a high-ranking official and you know a lot. Can you tell me which law in the country does not allow a person whose spouse has died to remarry?"

Ning Jingmo hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "No, Grandpa."

Grandpa slammed the table and said, "Listen to this, listen to this, the country doesn't care, so why should you care?

How come you are bigger than the country?

I am old now, I eat and drink what you give me, and I rely on you to support me, but when you were young, I spent a lot of money on you. "

He pointed at Xia Susen and said, "When you wanted to learn technology, I begged and pleaded to send you to Master Feng.

Later, Master Feng brought you to the steel plant. If I hadn't begged him to accept you as his apprentice, you wouldn't know where you would be now.

Do you think you can retire with a pension?"

Then he pointed at Xia Sulin and said, "You are the dumbest among the three brothers. You have been good at nothing since elementary school.

I asked you to study, but you skipped classes. I asked you to learn a skill, but you beat up your master.

Later, I asked the street office for help and weighed two boxes of gifts before they found such a street office enterprise for you to work in.

You two don't earn money, and every time you give birth to a child, one dies prematurely. Isn't it me who pays you to take your children to the doctor?

Did I give you a penny less? You are the one who spends the most money on me among the three of you brothers."

Then he pointed at Xia Sumu and said, "You are the most heartless person. Your family is so poor, and they have to support you alone.

Just to let you go to school and make a name for yourself, now you are a big professor and the director of a hospital.

Ignore my brothers and sisters."

Grandpa pointed at Xia Suhui again and said, "You are a girl, and I love you the most. I also have the highest hopes for you.

But what about you? You were in love at school and started dating his uncle early on.

You didn't keep your first child. How much did it cost to have a child? How many times did you come to me behind my back? How much did I give you? How much did I subsidize you?

The dowry I give you is much more than the betrothal gifts of your three sisters-in-law."
