Vol V Chapter 45
Ran Qiuye's parents were both educated people who taught. They liked girls like Qin Lan who were obedient and clever. The main reason was that with Qin Lan's personality, it was obvious that she would not quarrel loudly with others. They were very reassured that their daughter would be sister-in-law with such a person.
Otherwise, if someone with a strong personality and unreasonable came, then if there was a conflict between the daughters-in-law, it would affect the harmony of the family. They wouldn't be able to live peacefully. From time to time, they would feel annoyed.
If you help your brother, then your wife will be wronged. If you help your wife, then it will hurt the relationship between brothers.
Therefore, marriage was for the sake of living. When one got married, they had to choose their family members. If the family members were harmonious, then even if the family was a little poor and bitter, the family members could live a good life. As the saying went," harmony begets wealth."
"Did you buy the vegetables?"
"Not yet. I'll take Qin Lan to see the old lady later. After sending Qin Lan back, I'll go out again and bring some food back. When it's almost time, I'll bring Qin Lan's parents over.”
"Good!" He Yuzhu knew that He Yuheng had his own arrangements, so he nodded.
After He Yuheng informed Teacher Ran's family, he brought Qin Lan to the old lady's house in the backyard.
"Is the old lady really the widow of a martyr?"
"That's right. This is the ancestor of our courtyard. I'm the old lady's grandson, and you're his granddaughter. Don't feel bad.”
"Don't worry, how can I feel bad? The old lady is a respectable old man. It's my honor to be called granddaughter by her.”
Qin Lan said with a serious expression. He Yuheng had told her about the old lady. Her whole family was loyal and she respected this old lady from the bottom of her heart.
The old lady would never rely on her status to point fingers at the younger generation. He had never made any excessive demands on the younger generation. He doted on the children in the courtyard, including the naughty children.
The two of them arrived at the old lady's door. He Yu knocked on the door and said,"Grandma, ancestor, grandson is here to see you!”
"My good grandson, come in quickly!"
The old lady's surprised voice came from the house. He Yuheng and Qin Lan looked at each other and smiled. They held hands and pushed the door open.
"Ancestor, look, who did I bring for you?”
Although the old lady was old, other than her hearing being a little bad, her eyesight was still good. The gaze in her eyes that had been through the years was always warm and bright.
Every day, He Yuheng would also add spiritual spring water that could prolong life and strengthen the body into the old lady's water. It was impossible to say that she would return to her youth, but her physical functions would more or less recover. In the two months that she had been consuming the spring water, the old lady's walking stick had changed from a tool to help her move to a tool to hit people.
Usually, she didn't need it at all. This change made an auntie click her tongue in wonder. She was originally still trembling when she walked and even needed He Yuheng to carry her. How could she go out for a walk in such a short time?
The old lady looked at Qin Lan and saw the two of them holding hands. She immediately understood and said happily,"Aiyo, my precious granddaughter!"
Qin Lan was treated too well by the old lady. It was only the first time they met, but she was already promoted to a " precious granddaughter."
As she spoke, the old lady stretched out her hand, indicating that she wanted to hold Qin Lan's hand. Qin Lan very consciously stretched out her hand to hold the old lady's hand, not nervous at all.
"Grandma!" Qin Lan gave the old lady a big smile and called out sweetly.
"Hey!"
The old lady was so happy that He Yu shook her head with a smile.
When the old lady smiled, her entire mouth was wide open, and He Yuheng realized that the old lady did not bring it.
"Grandma, where are your dentures?"
"It's freezing in the water!"
"Frozen?"
He Yuheng immediately searched the whole house. He found the dentures in the cup by the windowsill.
He Yuheng, He Yuzhu, and the First Uncle had a discussion about the payment last month. Then, they took the old lady to the hospital to pull out the remaining three or four loose teeth and get a set of dentures.
Actually, the original tooth was already very loose. The doctor said that it could no longer be used. Therefore, it was the same whether he pulled it out or not. Sooner or later, it would all fall off.
After getting the dentures, the old lady could eat a lot more. In the past, she could only drink liquid food like porridge. He was still adapting to eating more food, but if the meat was cooked a little softer, he could basically eat it.
Qin Lan was chatting with the old lady. He Yuheng said,"Ancestor, where's the boiled water in your room?”
"Ah?"
"What? I know you. You don't want to wear dentures again, do you?”
"It's uncomfortable. I keep feeling that this mouth doesn't belong to me. I feel uncomfortable everywhere.”
"But you can't freeze them. I'll melt them for you. Qin Lan's parents will be coming over for dinner later. Teacher Ran's parents will also come over.”
"Eat, quickly melt it for me!”
Upon hearing that Qin Lan's parents were coming, the old lady immediately changed her words.
From the looks of it, the two brothers were about to have a good thing. The other party's parents were coming over for dinner during the new year. They were going to talk about marriage.
"Hey, your temper!"
He Yuheng said unhappily. It seemed that he had forgotten about his grandson after having a granddaughter.
He Yuheng boiled a pot of water, found a basin, poured the water in, and then put the cup in.
He couldn't pour it directly, and the dentures were also very expensive. This had cost He Yuheng half a month's salary.
After the dentures melted, He Yuheng replaced the ice water with warm water so that the old lady would not feel cold when she wore them.
Looking at the time, He Yuheng felt that it was about time. However, seeing that the old lady and Qin Lan were chatting enthusiastically, He Yuheng thought for a moment and said,"Why don't you stay here with the old lady while I go out for a while and bring your parents over?”
"Yes, no problem. Come back early.”Qin Lan felt that she hit it off with the old lady. It was very easy to get along with her. She was happy to stay with the old lady.
"Don't worry, I won't be gone for too long. I'll be back soon.”
Then, He Yuheng said to the old lady,"Ancestor, I'll leave this wife of mine to you. You have to look after her. If she runs away, I'll come and snatch the blanket from you later.”
"Go, go, go. Who cares about you!"
Qin Lan found the way the old lady and the child did things very cute. She smiled as she watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson. He Yuheng carried a cloth bag and went out with a smile to prepare the vegetables.
He Yuheng found an empty corner, entered the space, and brought a wave of fresh and tender vegetables. There was no ghost market recently because the investigation was strict. The things on the black market were just so-so, and most of them did not have roots. This meant that even if they were transplanted, they would not survive.
Every day when he came back, He Yuheng would take some time to dig a hole in the space. Now, there was an additional pond in the space.
Unfortunately, there was no fish in the pond because there was no water. It was winter, and it was a world of ice and snow. The surface of the lake was frozen, and there was no place to catch fish.
He Yuheng waited until spring when the flowers bloomed and the snow and ice melted. He went to the countryside to visit his father and get more vegetables and fish. He even caught a rabbit and a chicken. Since the space had expanded, there was no reason to leave it empty.
