Chapter 369: Chapter 368: (1 more update)

On the other side, Xu Niannian, Xu Erhong, and Xu Sisi and others paused for a few seconds at the intersection.

Xu Niannian asked, "Uncle Er, should we go and carry Doudou out?"

At the thought of leaving Xu Doudou behind, hindering the grandparents from expressing their affection, Xu Erhong shuddered.

He guessed that when he returned, his old mother might hit him with a broom again, chiding him for forgetting the child.

After all, his old mother always had an excuse to beat him, and he could never object, as his attempts at rebuttal would only make his predicament more pitiful.

After a moment of thought, Xu Erhong said very calmly, "It’s fine, Doudou is still young, let him stay there and bond with his grandfather."

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at Xu Erhong’s shrunken behavior.

Xu Sisi said, "Dad, you’re afraid of being hit by Grandma, right?"

Being exposed by his own daughter, Xu Erhong immediately responded with a "Heh," "You little rebel, why are you so irreverent? Always poking at your dad’s sore spot, what would pretending ignorance hurt?"

His expression was one of self-righteousness.

At these words, Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi looked up at the sky together.

Having such an "old dad" for an uncle was truly embarrassing.

Xu Erhong remained completely unaware of any wrongdoing, looking rather pleased with himself.

On the other side, Xu Wentian, holding Xu Doudou, played for a while until Xu Doudou fell asleep, and then the two elders sat down together to reminisce about the past slowly.

It was not until he thought of the opportunity to find his beloved wife that Xu Wentian remembered an important matter.

The jade finger ring was found at Old Jin’s place.

At that time, Old Jin’s grandson’s wife had said the jade finger ring was a gift from her grandmother.

If her grandmother was his beloved wife, then this meant Old Jin’s grandson’s wife was his granddaughter.

Since he had only two granddaughters, and considering what Gao Lihong had told him about them, Old Jin’s daughter-in-law must be his elder granddaughter, Xu Niannian.

His granddaughter had gotten married without him being able to attend.

Xu Wentian felt quite regretful about this.

However, it was a good match to be related by marriage to that boy from the Jin family.

Wasn’t he familiar with Old Jin’s character?

The descendants he cultivated were all excellent.

Moreover, the most promising youngsters in the Jin family were Jin Ruiyang and Jin Yu.

So, the grandson’s wife that Old Jin had been boasting about with great culinary skills must undoubtedly be his granddaughter.

Thinking of this, Xu Wentian felt a surge of pride—that was his granddaughter, after all!

He was eager to see how Old Jin would continue to boast to him; no matter how accomplished, she was still his flesh and blood granddaughter.

When it came to his own granddaughter, the old lady had endless praises to sing.

She told Xu Wentian that the factory started by Xu Niannian had provided for the entire village.

Now, when she went out, everyone respected her.

Beforecoming here, Xu Wentian had noticed a large factory building next to this house.

He had been too preoccupied with reuniting with his wife to care about such things.

Now, after hearing the old lady’s words, Xu Wentian eagerly asked, "That factory outside is the one built by our granddaughter?"

The surprised expression on Xu Wentian’s face was quite satisfying to the old lady, who nodded proudly.

"Indeed, who else but our granddaughter could have the ability to build a factory in the village?"

"Let me tell you, the food our granddaughter makes is delicious. Later, I’ll have the elder granddaughter take you to the factory for a tour, so you can see how big her enterprise has become."

Seeing Gao Lihong’s proud expression, Xu Wentian smiled gently and patted her hand, "The children you’ve raised are all good."

What Xu Wentian meant by this was that any child of hers was the best.

However, the old lady was quite displeased with his remark, "That’s not the same. None of those three children of ours are any good. It must be what they call skipping a generation. In the end, it’s because the three children are worthless, not inheriting any of our strengths. Perhaps it’s due to some wrongdoing in the past life, such that even being born to good parents is of no use."

This rant was very much in her style; she had started finding faults in her own children as soon as they were born.

Xu Wentian indulged her.

The children were of secondary importance; his wife’s happiness was the key.

Now, Xu Wentian’s whole heart was tied to Gao Lihong, and having reunited with her, he wanted to make up for his absence to his children and grandchildren; his only desire was to spend a peaceful old age with her.

As long as she was happy, anything was acceptable.

His fiery young wife was still so adorable in her old age, acting like a child in front of him.

It was unfortunate that for those many years, the woman who was like a child in front of him shouldered their home while he was absent.

However, the old lady didn’t think as much as Xu Wentian did.

After all, life is about living through it.

The journey is essential, but now that it was behind them, all she wanted was to cherish the present.

The two elders, reunited after so long, had endless topics to talk about, so many stories to share, and countless memories to revisit.

Xu Wentian listened to Gao Lihong talk about the significant and minor events that had happened in her life without him.

As they chatted, Gao Lihong leaned against Xu Wentian and fell asleep in his arms.

She still clung to his waist, muttering like a child, "You can’t run off again."

That one sentence made Xu Wentian’s newly calmed heart ache once more.

With trembling hands, he gently patted her back.

Not anymore, there was too little time left in this life; he would never lose her again.
