Chapter 103:
Jiang Xiao couldn't say that he had never seen him. To be precise, he should be very familiar with him. He recognized him at a glance.
He and Lin Chengyu have lived together for more than ten years, and there are pictures hanging in the house. During Qingming, Jiang Xiao worships them like his own relatives.
However, like grandpa Lin's family, it was the first time he saw each other in real life.
Jiang Xiao is also very patient with the elderly, and the experiences of two lifetimes are mixed together. It is always difficult to see someone who has passed away come back.
He had contacted Yuecheng, and the other party was also looking for this old man.
Jiang Xiao fanned him and took out a tissue to wipe his sweat. People in their 70s and 80s are somewhat childish at this age. That's what the old kids said.
There was a small stall in front of the vegetable market. Jiang Xiao led him to sit there and waited, fanned him slowly, and asked, "Why did you come here? Have you eaten yet?"
It's lunch time now.
The grandfather of the Lin family kept looking at the young man and listening to his questions, he didn't think it at first, but as soon as he said it, he was hungry.
He nodded lightly, and then stared at Jiang Xiao again.
When Jiang Xiao first went to college a few years ago, people from the Southern Union told him that this student is a great student, and given time, it will become a great asset.
He listened at the time, who knew that two or three years later, his small shop had really grown to the size it is now.
His ability is indeed very strong, so Mr. Lin looked for his photo for a long time. The photo of the ID card at the school was mediocre, and he didn't smile. He seemed to be a well-behaved person, and when he contacted Jiang Xiao's experience, he always felt that This man is strong and serious.
Just like Cheng Yu, he always had a straight face when he was outside, didn't say much, at least his personality was softer, anyway, that's what he imagined.
But after seeing the real person, it is really different from what I imagined.
Jiang Xiao's shop inspection today was a surprise visit. He wore normal clothes and went to the vegetable market after walking out of the mall. He didn't look like a company boss at all, just like an ordinary person.
He spoke to him in a slow tone, and it sounded very comfortable. When he smiled, he showed two little tiger teeth, completely like a student.
Grandpa Lin's family remembered the can of old duck soup with winter bamboo shoots that he drank before. It was a really good craft.
He was even hungrier just thinking about it.
He glanced at Jiang Xiao's full vegetable basket and asked, "Are you going to go back to cook at night?"
"Yeah," Jiang Xiao said, "roasted chicken with taro, boiled shrimp, mushroom chicken soup, and sweet and sour pork ribs, today's beef brisket is good, you can make radish roast beef brisket, and the white warehouse fish is also very fresh, steamed and delicious. ."
Home cooking, they all sound delicious.
But before he could say a few words to Jiang Xiao, Yue Cheng came to him.
So did the old man. He disappeared as soon as he turned around, and he didn't answer the phone. Who knew he went to Jiang Xiao's place.
At the stall at the entrance of the vegetable market, the old man sat upright on a plastic chair. He was a seasoned person who has been in the business world for a long time, but when they saw Jiang Xiao, his expression softened.
As soon as Yue Cheng passed by, he felt that the old man glared at him.
What are you doing so soon?
On the contrary, Jiang Xiao opened his mouth first and said, "Grandpa hasn't eaten yet. I asked him just now and he said he was hungry."
There are stalls around the vegetable market here, but most of the stalls here sell fried rice, fried noodles, fried goods, barbecue and the like. They are so hot that they are not suitable for the elderly, so Jiang Xiao did not give them to him.
"Then you can go back with me," Yue Cheng said. "The conference organizer has dinner arrangements."
Jiang Xiao looked at the reluctant expression on Old Man Lin's face.
He had eaten that kind of feast from young to old, and now he has no appetite at all.
"I don't want to eat those," the old man said. "It's better to be hungry."
Jiang Xiao found it interesting when he heard it, so he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Would you like to come to our house for dinner?"
This is how the elderly are. If you can come with your heart, just follow your heart. Jiang Xiao finally went out to visit the vegetable market during this period of time. He bought a lot of vegetables. matter.
Yue Cheng thought that the old man would not really plan this way, and sure enough, he saw the other party nodded: "Okay."
Then I felt that this seemed a bit too straightforward, and added: "That's really... I'm sorry to bother you."
"No trouble, no trouble," Jiang Xiao waved his hand, "Meeting you here today is also fate."
Xia Wanwan was also at home today. When she saw Jiang Xiao brought someone back, although she didn't know who the old man was, she knew Yue Cheng.
"Come in and sit down," she said. "It's been a long time since we've had guests at home."
After a while, after knowing that it was Lin Chengyu's grandfather, she was even more enthusiastic: "I know Xiao Lin too. Thank you for taking care of Nian Nian. I should have invited you over for dinner, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance."
Jiang Xiao has been living in this house in Lishi after earning money. In his early 100s, he and Xia Wanwan are enough to live in. The location is very good, and it is very close to Xia Wanwan and Jiang Xiao's company.
In a small house, the decoration is very warm, and it has a completely different feeling from the empty old Lin family house.
The Lin family is also a big family. In addition to his descendants, the grandfather of the Lin family also has a lot of relatives, but he is always involved in business. Every time they meet, they talk about interests.
Two sons, the eldest died, Lin Feng did not kiss, and the youngest granddaughter Lin Rongjia was influenced by her parents, she was stunned and ran away when she saw herself.
After all, Lin Chengyu has already taken over nearly 80% of the management of the company. Yongjiang is currently developing four properties and two hotels. It is normal to be busy, and the old man of the Lin family is also forcing him. I hope he can be on his own as soon as possible. Not seeing anyone was expected.
Yongjiang has developed to this stage, and it is a family business. Interests and feelings cannot always be satisfied at the same time, but when people get old, they always look forward to such a warm family atmosphere.
Even Yuecheng is the same. Grandpa Lin understands why he keeps praising Jiang Xiao in front of him. This person has worked in Lin's house for more than 20 years. I've never seen him laugh so many times.
Jiang Xiao's hands were quick, he simmered the soup and cooked the vegetables. Considering that the elderly had a bad stomach, he also simmered a small pot of rice porridge.
Steamed fish and taro chicken are really delicious! The beef brisket was also stewed until it was tender and tender, and it opened in one sip. The taste was just right for him.
In addition to the rich taste, there is the bowl of rice porridge. Even the ordinary rice porridge is cooked differently from the ordinary one. The kitchen of Jiang Xiao's house is rich. There are casseroles and matching stoves suitable for family use. It is especially delicious when cooked.
It was Jiang Xiao who stared at him and didn't let him eat too much, otherwise he would be uncomfortable, so Grandpa Lin reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
From Yue Cheng's point of view, this scene is surprising enough. When did Grandpa Lin say anything at home, when did he obey him?
Jiang Xiao is not strict, but his words really work.
However, after Grandpa Lin finished eating, he sat there drinking Xiaoshi tea, chatted with Xia Wanwan, and found that Jiang Xiao was not finished. A small pot of soup was simmering in his pot all the time. Everyone ate it. It doesn't mean to turn off the fire.
In addition to the soup, there is also a small pot of porridge, which is freshly boiled and slowly simmered on the stove. The fish fillet and shrimp porridge must taste very fresh.
That was left by Jiang Xiao for Fu Ruoyan.
I made a few calls before, I thought I would be able to catch up with dinner, but because of the company's delay, I never came.
Being so tired, Jiang Xiao was reluctant to let him eat leftovers, and considering the time, he would come very late, so he couldn't always let others eat small wontons, and it would be better to drink soup and porridge in the evening, so that it would be easier to digest.
Before Fu Ruoyan came, he also knew that Xia's mother was at home. He didn't expect to be alone with Jiang Xiao. It would not be easy to meet and have a meal at home. After all, it was still a relationship of friends.
He didn't even have time to eat dinner today. Originally, he just set off from Shenzhen to the shooting location. He passed by Li City and came to see Jiang Xiao during his busy schedule. He just thought of recharging himself. By the time he arrived at Jiang Xiao's house, he was already nine It's too late, it's already late for dinner.
Grandpa Lin's family was drinking tea at Jiang Xiao's house, and secretly ate two pieces of dim sum, completely unaware of the passage of time. It was too late and he was about to leave, just to have a brush with Fu Ruoyan.
When he left, Fu Ruoyan's car was parked downstairs at Jiang Xiao's house, and then grandpa Lin's family saw another young man.
The man walked towards Jiang Xiao.
As soon as they met, Fu Ruoyan apologized to Jiang Xiao: "I'm really sorry, I've been delayed for a while, so you have to wait so long."
"It's okay, I know," Jiang Xiao said, "Did you not have dinner?"
Fu Ruoyan nodded.
"I knew it, I've prepared it for you," Jiang Xiao dragged him upstairs. "No matter how busy you are, you can eat some food and make up for it."
Grandpa Lin's car was parked there. He stared at the scene for a long time, but didn't hear what the two were saying, but it seemed that the relationship should be very good.
...that person is not Xiao Yu.
"Who is that?"
"Don't ask, it's someone's private matter." Yue Cheng was a little embarrassed to see it, "You also know that Cheng Yu and you have an agreement, and he doesn't want you to interfere in Jiang Xiao's affairs. Besides, I was young at first. People's emotional issues are not something we can decide."
Yue Cheng watched a lot. After all, he had also experienced Lin Heyuan. It was useless for them to rush things like this.
Today's situation is special. After all, it happened to happen, and Jiang Xiao took the initiative to invite him. Otherwise, according to Lin Chengyu's temper, he would definitely worry that his grandfather would embarrass Jiang Xiao, and he would not be able to tell at that time.
After speaking, Yue Cheng started the car.
The old man sat in the back seat and remained silent until he was about to get home when Yue Cheng heard him ask, "Is Xiaoyu coming back tonight?"
After asking this sentence, he remembered it himself, and continued: "... at the construction site."
Then Yue Cheng heard him let out a long sigh, with a sad look on his face.
"...Go and rest," Yue Cheng helped him to the room, "it's very late."
They returned from Lishi to Liujiang. It was eleven o'clock. The elderly couldn't sleep too late. Lin Chengyu stared at him every day, but Mr. Lin couldn't sleep today.
He turned a few times on the bed, then sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, took out his cell phone, and called his grandson.
