Chapter 60: His status in Grandpa

Finally, after the crowd thinned out, they saw two railway police officers get off the train, helping with the luggage. Behind them was the old gentleman they respected and had come to pick up.

"Grandpa." The three spoke in unison, greeting him at the same time.

Lu Xiu Bai opened his arms, rushing to the front, wanting to hug Grandpa.

Who would have thought that Old Master Lu would respond with a smile, "Hey."

He feinted, but his hand reached out toward someone else—

"You must be Jiang Ye?"

"Yes, Grandpa. I am your grandson-in-law, Jiang Ye. Welcome to the Sea Island."

Jiang Ye stretched out both hands, bowed respectfully and politely, and took the initiative to shake the old man's hand.

"Good, good, good. Full of vigor, looks physically strong at a glance. Not bad, not bad."

Old Master Lu nodded, satisfied, his eyebrows curving. Furthermore, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight nose bridge, and an upright spirit—he had the demeanor he had in his youth!

In his old woman's words, such a steady man looked reliable!

Lu Xiu Bai had black lines on his head, shouting unwillingly, his tone full of grievance:

"Grandpa."

Was he still Grandpa's own grandson?

After not seeing each other for a few years, Grandpa didn't recognize him?

He was his own grandson; shouldn't it be the kind of reunion where he hugged him and called him his heart, his precious grandson, and pampered him endlessly?

At the very least, give him a hug, touch his head, and say he worked hard.

As a result, just this?

His bias had shifted to the Southern Hemisphere!

"I'm not deaf, stop calling for my soul. Why don't you take the luggage from the two railway comrades? You have no eye for things."

Old Master Lu let go of his grandson-in-law's hand, turned around with a look of disgust, and looked at his grandson who was jumping around.

After not seeing him for a few years, he only grew in height but not in brain, a silly guy!

If he weren't his own grandson raised under his own eyes, he wouldn't even bother with him now...

"Got it, Grandpa."

Lu Xiu Bai curled his lips. Although he wasn't very happy about Grandpa's attitude, he listened to what Grandpa said.

He went to get the luggage honestly and even took cigarettes from his pocket to distribute to the two railway police comrades who helped.

The two police officers declined once, then sensibly accepted the cigarettes and tucked them behind their ears.

Before leaving, they saluted the old man to show their respect.

Old Master Lu and his grandchildren all returned the military salute.

"Grandpa, are you tired? Are you hungry? Should we eat first, or should we take you home to rest?"

Girls are more meticulous. Shen Man saw the blue-black under Grandpa's eyes and knew that Grandpa had suffered on the train for the past few days.

Old Master Lu patted the arm his granddaughter was holding on his right arm, his tone gentle, carrying a smile:

"Not hungry. The train conductor sent me meat soup and steamed buns; I ate very full this morning.

Let's go home first. Let Grandpa see the housing you were assigned in the Jiashuyuan."

Since he had come, he didn't intend to return to that home in the Capital.

Isn't the place where his grandson and granddaughter are his home?

He had seen his grandson-in-law; he was very satisfied with his words and deeds.

He was a bit tired, but he was more concerned about his granddaughter's residence.

"Grandpa, let me tell you, Brother Jiang Ye and I picked out a small courtyard. We bought furniture yesterday. We prepared a second bedroom for you; you can move in at any time..."

Shen Man walked in front, holding Grandpa's arm, while the two men behind consciously fell a few steps behind.

Jiang Ye saw that his brother-in-law was inconvenienced by carrying so much luggage alone, so he took the initiative to take a few items to reduce his brother-in-law's burden.

Lu Xiu Bai pouted. His status in Grandpa's heart plummeted!

He couldn't understand why.

After the four left the station, they got into the jeep and put away the luggage.

Lu Xiu Bai sat in the passenger seat, Grandpa and his sister sat in the back, and his brother-in-law drove.

"Xiu Bai, how are things with you and that Pei girl? Why haven't I heard news of you registering your marriage?"

Old Master Lu drank half a pot of the water his granddaughter gave him, his spirits boosted, and he was in the mood to question his grandson about his emotional affairs.

"Pei girl? Grandpa, what are you talking about? Did you send someone to monitor me?"

Lu Xiu Bai was confused. His first reaction was how Grandpa knew he liked Pei Yan Ting?

No, Grandpa's tone, why would he think they would register their marriage?

"If I had that ability, I would have tied you up and thrown you into the sea to feed the sharks long ago!"

Old Master Lu glared at his grandson when he heard this. From the Capital to the Sea Island, it was thousands of miles away. How could he, a retired little old man, have such great ability?

Shen Man's eyes flashed with a bold guess. She hurriedly patted Grandpa's back to soothe him and asked tentatively:

"Grandpa, how do you know Sister Yan Ting?"

"That Pei girl has an arranged marriage with your brother. It's normal that you don't know, but how could this silly guy, your brother, not know?"

Old Master Lu explained while being so angry he started speaking in his hometown Henan dialect.

"Grandpa, I really don't know. Why don't you tell me in detail?"

Lu Xiu Bai twisted his body like a twist, looking at his grandfather with burning, excited eyes.

"When you were six, you had a high fever that wouldn't go down.

At that time, your father, that troublesome thing, went to the countryside to visit relatives with your stepmother. When I was at the sanatorium, I received a call from your Aunt Wang, and then..."

Old Master Lu still felt a lingering fear when mentioning this incident.

If he said his grandson's illness was an accident, he wouldn't believe it.

But he had no evidence, and Aunt Wang didn't find anything unusual, so it could only be left unsettled.

When he sent his grandson to the hospital, he happened to meet the Pei family.

At that time, the Pei family was a medical family. Relying on their connections, their status was unshakable, and they weren't affected by that incident and were assigned to work in the hospital.

The Pei family had practiced medicine for generations, and only the eldest Pei had entered the officialdom.

The eldest Pei's daughter, who was about five years old at the time, was a delicate little girl who was holding a needle and thread, obediently sewing something—

A banana peel!

Yes, a banana peel. At that time, his grandson was on an IV drip, and Aunt Wang was taking care of him. He watched the little girl sewing the banana peel a few times and appreciated her temperament very much.

It just so happened that the old man of the Pei family saw that he liked his granddaughter, so he joked about whether the two families should become in-laws?

He thought it sounded good. The Pei family's family status wasn't high, but they practiced medicine for generations, and their medical skills were world-renowned. Arranging an arranged marriage for his grandson meant he didn't have to worry about not having a granddaughter-in-law when he grew up...

In the car, except for Jiang Ye, whose emotions weren't exposed and who was driving steadily,

the brother and sister in the front and back seats both had expressions of sudden realization!

So, the fiancé Pei Yan Ting mentioned was him!

He had been taking his own imaginary rival seriously all this time!

Shen Man clapped her hands excitedly and told Grandpa:

"Grandpa, Sister Yan Ting is so good. I like her."

An ideal sister-in-law, isn't that someone who has common topics with a sister-in-law like her?

Her sister-in-law's temperament was heroic, and her speech was humorous and funny; there was no need to over-guess her thoughts.

What was rare was that Sister Yan Ting, toward her brother—oh no, toward both of them—had good feelings!

Lu Xiu Bai's throat rolled with difficulty. Yes, he liked her too... ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
