Yebeichen nodded towards Little Mo, holding Xia Xiaomo's other hand to stop her from being afraid, he followed his instructions obediently.
Along the way, listened to Old Master Gong nagging about the matters of the Aunt Ye's childhood. Xia Xiaomo was very surprised, she felt that the husband and father in her memories were all very busy, especially a man like the Old Master Gong who was capable and ambitious. He probably didn't even care about eating when he returned home to eat.
But he could clearly remember every important turn his daughter had taken during her upbringing!
This is incredible. Including his daughter's first time calling him father eight months ago, learning to walk when she was more than a year old, the fact that she didn't do well in a third grade exam and acted pitiful in front of him, and the fact that she had a boy she liked for the first time when she was in high school … Even the Old Master Gong remembered it clearly, it was as if they were family!
It was no wonder that such a family could bring up such good children. Indeed, it was more important to view education as more important than earning money.
When they arrived at the dining hall, all the other members of the family were already there. They left the most important seats for the Old Master Gong, and no one touched their chopsticks as they waited for the Old Master. There were no complaints. Everyone was happily waiting for their kind elder. The respect and love they had for their elder came from the bottom of their hearts.
It could be seen that the old tutor cared a lot for each of them, otherwise he wouldn't have such deep feelings for them.
"Sit, sit!" The old tutor clearly knew that everyone was waiting for him, so he felt a bit embarrassed. He felt that his actions were too slow and that he was dragging everyone down. Little Mo helped him to sit down, but he still refused to let go of her hand, "Ah Yu, it's rare for you to come back. Your big brother and second brother will have no objections. "
"I …" Xia Xiaomo was in a bit of a dilemma, she really wasn't Old Master Gong's Ah Yu. At this time, Gong Cheng hurriedly ran towards Xia Xiaomo and whispered: "Second Cousin Aunt, you must listen to the old man, or else the old man will make a fuss and you won't even eat food."
The first uncle of Gong Family gave way to Little Mo, "That's right, let Ah Yu accompany you."
Yebeichen was worried that Little Mo would not be able to accompany the Old Master. She was afraid that if something happened, she wouldn't be able to handle it so he said to the Old Master, "Grandfather, then where should I sit? Can you let me sit next to you? "
Old Master Gong waved his skinny hand, "You stinking brat, are you still not satisfied staying with your mother all day? How many years would it take for your mother to return to her parents' home? You want to steal from this Old Man? " His meaning was clear. With a daughter, he couldn't care less about his precious grandson. It could be seen how much weight this daughter held in the old man's heart.
Yebeichen looked at Xiao Mo: Can you really do it by yourself?
Xia Xiaomo nodded his head, "Son, go take your seat, I'll be fine."
She had even made a face at Yebeichen when the Old Man was not paying attention. If she could give birth to a baby Yebeichen in the future, her life would be complete.
Old Master Gong felt comfortable listening to his' father ', and kept waving at Yebeichen. Alright, Yebeichen really didn't have any temper towards this "thief" who stole his wife, so he could only let the old man do as he pleased. He knew how bitter the old man's heart had been since his mother passed away!
"Ah Yu, come come come, let's eat. These are your favorite dishes." Old Master Gong still clearly remembered what kind of food his daughter liked to eat. He didn't even care about eating it as he stuffed the dishes into his daughter's bowl one by one and quickly filled Little Mo's bowl to the brim. He even lovingly said, "Ah Yu, don't just stand there. Eat quickly. You have married so far away that it's hard to get a taste of your true hometown. Eat! "
Okay, Xia Xiaomo felt that the Old Master Gong definitely loved her dearly, she could eat anything she wanted no matter what. Haha, glutton Xia, quickly release your prehistoric energy! Resolve all the delicacies!
Seeing how Old Master Gong doted on Little Mo so much, Su Mo was a little jealous, "Grandfather, why didn't you order some dishes for me? It's too eccentric! "
Old Master Gong stared at her softly, "Stupid girl, do you think I don't give you enough? Your aunt rarely comes back, and you're also jealous? " His precious daughter had been married so far away, but that man didn't love her. He felt sad just thinking about it.
Su Mo saw that Old Master Gong's eyes were actually red, and was extremely frightened, and immediately said: "Aiya, I won't fight with Aunt over it, Grandfather, don't be angry."
Old Master Gong wiped his face, "Grandfather is not angry, grandfather is happy to see your aunt!" He then turned to Little Mo and said, "Ah Yu, eat more. You can cook whatever you want in the kitchen. You can do whatever you want in your own home. Daddy is here, ah! "
Xia Xiaomo felt a pang in her nose. If Aunt Ye was still here, this would've been when she was being filial in front of the old man. However, the old man sent the black haired man away. A man who had lived in the mall for so many years became a sick man who needed the care of his entire family!
"Dad, you should eat too. Is it too much for me alone to eat? " Xia Xiaomo also gave Old Master Gong food. Her first aunt quickly pointed out which dishes the old man liked to give her.
"Alright, alright, alright. Daddy will eat with you." Old Master Gong's face was filled with love. He had given all the love he had in his life to his children, all he wanted was for his children to be happy, but the people of Ye Family had ripped out his flesh and blood, and separated him from his only daughter!
"It's a deal, let's eat each other." Xia Xiaomo wanted to coax the old man to eat more so that he could get better.
Yebeichen had always been staring at them from his position, he was afraid that Xiao Mo would support him, since the older people wouldn't be able to digest anything, and he was also afraid that Xiao Mo would support him, causing him to do everything in order to eat something good. To her, that was not a problem at all!
When he saw that it was about time, he went up to stop him. The other juniors also came up to persuade him. Old Master Gong didn't want to let down the children's hard work. Although he still wanted to eat, he didn't want to eat too much. It was as if he had eaten it himself and was extremely satisfied. Moreover, Little Mo's manner of eating was extremely fragrant, making anyone who saw her happy.
"Come, come. If you like it, then eat more." The Old Master Gong was still busy cooking for her. Yebeichen was so anxious that he immediately snatched Xia Xiaomo's bowl, "Grandfather, Grandfather, Mommy really can't eat anymore."
"Brat, put the bowl back. Why can't I eat anymore? " Old Master Gong was about to get angry.
"My mom, my mom is losing weight." Yebeichen made up an excuse.
"Look at how thin your mother is, why is she decreasing?" It was likely that many fathers were like the Old Master Gong, taking it upon themselves to raise their daughters into fat and white.
"Exactly! How thin are you all? " Xia Xiaomo smacked her lips. As expected, she was a person who wouldn't care about her life when she saw food.
"If you don't want to give it, then don't want to give it." Gong Cheng ran over to take Yebeichen's stick and took away the bowl of vegetables. He was still laughing at Xiao Mo, "Aunt, be careful or you might become fat.
"I'm full!" The effect was immediate! Between husband and food, must choose the former firmly. Because with Yebeichen, what kind of delicacies would he like to eat?
"Are you really full?" Old Master Gong did not quite believe it. Xia Xiaomo wisely burped, "I'm really full."
"Alright, let's go for a walk with dad. We'll talk in private after dinner." Old Master Gong held onto Xia Xiaomo's hand again. Yebeichen anxiously followed, "Grandfather, let me accompany you."
The Old Master Gong was still not done, "Can you give us some private space? Follow everything? "This child!"
Yebeichen, "..."
Grandfather, that's my wife, not your daughter!
Gong Cheng came over and patted his shoulder: Second Uncle, I really pity you! Your wife can be considered to have been taken out for your great grandfather. With so many people coming to Gong Family, who could be mistaken by your great grandfather for so long? Had Second Aunt spent too much time with her aunt when she was young, and thus had the temperament of a mistress on her body? To be honest, he really didn't see through it.
After walking with the old man for a long time and coaxing him into a nap, Xia Xiaomo finally managed to slip away from the Old Master Gong's side. As she left, she heard the old man talking in her sleep, calling out the names of her daughter and her wife.
Xia Xiaomo immediately felt stifled and hurried out.
After asking the elders in the Gong Family, she found out that Old Master Gong's illness was due to that stroke. Initially, it was not too obvious when she tried to save him, but after Yebeichen's grandmother left, the old man's situation became worse, and he became clear-headed and muddled for a moment. When Gong Cheng was young, he had once told the old man the truth and almost caused the old man to suffer a second stroke. After that, as long as the old man was confused, the entire family would coax him.
"Ai!" Xia Xiaomo could only sigh. Old Master Gong was an especially generous businessman, he had never done too many good things in the past, he really shouldn't have ended up like this.
"Actually, for Grandfather, sometimes committing a mistake is also a good thing. It's better than waking up to the pain of losing a girl." Yebeichen comforted his wife.
It could be said that the life of Old Master Gong was quite complete, but he had gotten everything a man wanted. He had family power and wealth, and his daughter was his biggest and only regret in this life. If not for Aunt Ye … If she died too early, Old Master Gong would not have suffered a stroke or illness, and Yebeichen's grandmother would not have died too early just because he missed his daughter too much.
Everything was wrong, it was all because of the Ye Family. It was they who had killed Gong Yu, who had also indirectly injured so many people!
"I, I'm thinking about grandma. I don't have any memories of my parents. I really don't know what supported grandma through all these years." Xia Xiaomo thought of her grandmother, the exceptionally tough and brave Ms. Leng Fenglan.
Back then, when both her daughter and son-in-law met with an accident, Xia Xiaomo could not imagine how she had withstood such a blow and how she had been pulled out of it. There was one thing she didn't understand. Her grandmother and aunt never revealed anything about her parents, which made her think that she had been picked up by her grandmother and that she had cried on the sly many times.
