Chapter 352

~7 min read 1,360 words

"Children are mischievous, you, as an aunt, please forgive her."

Pei Lao Ye Zi turned his head away to avoid looking, but his shoulders shaking exposed his mood at the moment.

It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to see his little granddaughter make a fool of herself, but his little granddaughter had been stubborn since she was a child, in short, a "stubborn mule."

Things you didn't let her do, she insisted on doing!

Only by letting her experience it herself and feel his painstaking efforts would she behave herself.

"Grandpa, I suspect you've been possessed; why don't you love me anymore?"

Pei Yao spat out a mouthful of water, soaked from head to toe like a water ghost pulled from the water, looking miserable and pathetic.

"Giggle, giggle."

The culprit was still laughing there, laughing innocently.

She couldn't blame her sister's child, so she could only vent her resentment to her grandfather.

"Alright, look at you, you're all wet. How about letting Manman go back to the room and find some of your sister's clothes for you?"

Pei Lao Ye Zi looked at the sky and the ground, just not at his little granddaughter, and proposed a solution.

However, Pei Yao, who had already boarded the "pirate ship," since she had promised to bathe her little niece, she would see it through to the end.

Isn't it just being mischievous?

Who wasn't like that when they were a child?

Next, the big one and the small one surrounded the basin, playing in the water with great delight.

Xiao Nuomi watched and was envious to death.

She also wanted to play in the water like that, so she looked at her mother pitifully, hoping her mother would play with her like that too.

"Good daughter, no, you don't want to play!"

Shen Man politely declined; she didn't want to be soaked all over, how uncomfortable that would be.

Just like that, the two siblings watched their sister misbehaving with envy, while they were sloppily bathed by their parents and dressed neatly.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back to the guesthouse."

Shen Man looked at the sky. It wasn't appropriate for her husband or brother to take Pei Yao alone at this time, so she would take her.

"I'll ride the bicycle, you sit on the back, it'll be very fast."

"Let me ask a weak question: since there is a bicycle, why didn't you ride it when you first took me to the guesthouse?"

Pei Yao asked a soul-searching question, her little face full of resentment.

"Oh, wasn't I helping you get familiar with the Jiashuyuan first, and then helping you buy snacks and specialty foods? It wasn't many steps anyway..."

Shen Man explained; actually, she had forgotten at the time.

Usually, she walked from the Jiashuyuan to the military region gate, and then to the guesthouse. Hmm, it was a bit of a distance.

But for her, who exercised often, it was actually fine.

"Oh, oh."

Pei Yao accepted this answer for now, then stood up and squeezed the water out of her clothes.

"Grandpa, then I'll go back to the guesthouse with Sister Manman first, and I'll come find you to play tomorrow?"

"Ahem, Grandpa is old and really can't take the tossing. I heard from Manman that she's getting you a tour guide; you can let the guide take you around the island and outside the island. If you don't have enough money or coupons, Grandpa will give you some."

Pei Lao Ye Zi rubbed his legs and his waist, indicating that his old bones really couldn't take the abuse.

"Fine, then give me the money and coupons."

Hmm, Pei Yao was clearly a bit unhappy.

This was her own grandfather, but he was becoming more and more of an old fox!

How did that saying go?

Between love and money, she had to have one!

"No problem, I'll go back and get the money for you."

Pei Lao Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief. As a retiree, his pension arrived on time every month.

Usually, on the Sea Island, his grandchildren spent their own money, and his disciples were filial to him, so he had no place to spend money, and thus he had saved it all up.

His little granddaughter was also quite filial and often sent him money. He didn't want to say he didn't want it, but he was afraid the child wouldn't be able to save money.

So he saved all the money, preparing to give it to his little granddaughter when she got married as a dowry.

Sigh, looking at it now, this little granddaughter didn't even have a partner yet!

That's true, in a place like the Capital First People's Hospital, where would there be unmarried and outstanding partners waiting for her to pick?

Good men were not circulating on the market. Any man with good conditions would have long been arranged for a blind date for someone's niece or nephew; it wouldn't be his little granddaughter's turn to pick.

Sigh, his little granddaughter didn't come at a good time!

If she had come a month earlier, even if she had come at the beginning of the month, he could have thickened his face and gone to find Brother Duan to open a "small stove" for his little granddaughter.

Now that the annual matchmaking event had ended, many single, outstanding officers had already found partners. What a mess.

It seemed his little granddaughter's fate hadn't arrived yet. He would have to find an opportunity to nag his little granddaughter and tell her to come early next year, preferably at the end of April.

Pei Yao didn't know that her unintentional joke had caused her grandfather to personally step in and plan everything for her.

Shen Man spent ten minutes taking Pei Yao back to the guesthouse, said goodbye to Wangjie, went to the seaside, found Xiao Hai, and discussed the tour guide matter with him.

Xiao Hai naturally thanked her and agreed, saying he would go to the guesthouse to find Sister Pei tomorrow morning.

Shen Man gave Xiao Hai a two-jin grain coupon and a ten-yuan note, and after saying goodbye, she pedaled her bike and hurried back to the military region Jiashuyuan.

After arriving home, she leaned the bicycle against the courtyard wall and rubbed her wrists. She hadn't ridden in a long time, and carrying someone made it even more unfamiliar.

So all her attention was on the handlebars, and her wrists had exerted force unconsciously, which was why she felt a bit of soreness.

Seeing his disciple return, Pei Lao Ye Zi poured a cup of water, brought it to her, and asked casually:

"Is everything settled?"

Shen Man took the cup, drank it in one gulp, and then answered with a slight pant:

"Yes, everything is settled. I guarantee Sister Yaoyao will have a great time."

"That's good, it saves my old bones from having to jump around with this young person."

Pei Lao Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief; he trusted his disciple to handle things.

"Hmm, where is my brother? He's not home, did he go to pick up my sister-in-law?"

After drinking the water, Shen Man felt much better. She looked around the courtyard and only saw her grandfather fiddling with his fishing gear by the well, A-Ye in the main room playing with blocks with the two children, and Lian Lian drinking milk on the straw mat.

Everyone was there, except for her brother.

"Xiu Bai, he went to the hospital to pick up Yan Ting."

The smile on Pei Lao Ye Zi's face when he mentioned his grandson-in-law couldn't be faked; he was very satisfied with him.

Although his grandson-in-law was sometimes unreliable, gluttonous, loved to play, and was unlucky, such a person was very kind and had a heart of gold.

Besides, with that old guy Old Lu around, he was very reassured about entrusting his granddaughter to his grandson.

Look, his granddaughter was already pregnant with her second child, and the two were still so sticky; as an elder, he was happy to see it.
