Chapter 326: Chapter 227 Arrangement (Part 2)_2

In fact, Chuxia was not willing to arrive in this era, but heaven still treated her kindly.

Firstly, she encountered a pair of parents who spoiled her to the utmost without principles.

Additionally, she met a pair of genuinely caring and sensible grandparents, making up for the lack of such a pair of grandparents and also reducing a lot of trouble for her.

Elder Zhao’s second sister-in-law and second aunt from Zhao’s house were not likable, but with Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao pressing down, things would never reach the worst. As for the Lin Family, Elder Uncle Lin and Little Uncle Lin happily ran down the wrong path under the lead of Old Master Lin and Old Lady Lin, and one day, they would pay the price for their actions.

Once the ceremony concluded, the esteemed elders who came as witnesses chatted for a while before standing up to take their leave one by one. Everyone present was shrewd and naturally understood the significance of holding the acknowledgment ceremony at this time.

It wasn’t the time for reminiscing, and if they didn’t leave after the busy event, that would be supremely oblivious to social cues.

"Grandpa..." Taking advantage of the moment while everyone was seeing off the guests, Chuxia sat next to Elder Wan, smiling ingratiatingly, "Grandpa, thank you for giving face haha."

"Xiao Chuxia, you seem to have become smarter, eh?" Old Master Wan chuckled, "How does Grandpa feel, that in just a few months without seeing you, Xiao Chuxia has changed more and more?"

Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, but her face bore a sweet smile: "Grandpa, listen to what you’re saying. I’m getting older, so of course, I’m becoming more sensible, right? You must be noticing my big changes, right? If I never changed, wouldn’t my parents worry themselves to death?"

"You child..." Old Master Wan laughed helplessly, "You say you’re getting older, so what does that make Grandpa? Buried up to my neck in soil?"

"You know that’s not what I mean, Grandpa..." Chuxia smiled sheepishly, "I’m just a bit anxious, and I used the wrong words. In light of my modest learning, please don’t hold this against me, Grandpa. Anyway, what I mean is, I know you came because you knew it was me. Thank you, Grandpa, truly!"

"What, were your previous thanks insincere?" Old Master Wan looked at her teasingly, "Xiao Chuxia, come on, is there something you want the old man to help with? Don’t be hesitant, I don’t like that."

"Hehe..." Chuxia just laughed, "Grandpa, you’re really too astute. It’s just that..." She smiled shyly, lowering her voice a bit more, "I’m interested in those musical instruments, right? When Grandpa was in our village, I followed you and learned a bit. Recently, I performed on stage during the military performance.

Then, people asked me whom I learned from, and I said I learned from Grandpa Wan. That is, without your permission, I called myself your disciple. You’re not angry with me, are you?"

She needed to patch things up in advance, just in case her parents thanked Old Master Wan and he denied it outright, then she would have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for excuses again—and that might not even be possible.

"What’s there to be angry about?" Old Master Wan waved it off, then surprisingly remarked, "Little girl, you can actually perform on stage now?"

"Yes!" Chuxia nodded solemnly, "But it was like being pushed onto the strand. If not for my comrades falling ill and having no choice, I wouldn’t have shown off like that.

Then I discovered that I have a particularly keen sense for musical instruments. After only a few practices, I completely got the hang of it. Grandpa, if I played for you now, you’d be amazed."

"Is that so?" Old Master Wan took it as child-like boasting and responded with a chuckle, "Some day, Grandpa wants to listen."

Indeed, it was because Jing Zhe had reported Chuxia’s name that he agreed. Whether it was the Chuxia he knew or not, it wasn’t a matter of great principle. He thought if he could lend a hand, he would.

After being rehabilitated, he lived in Capital City for a while. Old friends hoped he could ’come out of retirement’, but after experiencing the blow of his wife’s death and his daughter’s betrayal, he lost the passion and just wanted to live out his retirement in peace.

To avoid putting his old friends in a difficult position, he moved to A City, very close to Capital City. There, although he had few old friends, there were some he could chat with. When he was free, they could play chess or go fishing together—he was quite content.

However, as time went on, seeing that others had their homes full of children and grandchildren made him envious.

He and his wife had only one daughter. When he was sent down to the countryside, his daughter renounced their relationship through a public notice and married into a family in Capital City.
