Chapter Seventy-Four: So Many Children!
Curious about what attracted Xia Xiaoke's attention, Han Shaoxun turned around and walked to her side, only to know that it was a string of Buddhist bead bracelets.
Her eyes were shining, just judging from Xia Xiaoke's expression, she knew how much she loved this string of beads.
Raising those beautiful eyes, Xia Xiaoke asked, "Shaoxun, do you think grandma will like this string of beads?" β
Deeply touched in his heart, Han Shaoxun couldn't help but touch the top of her head, and replied gently, "Yes, as long as it is a gift you choose, grandma will like it." β
However, he wanted to ask, Xia Xiaoke, who are you? How do you know that grandma loves this kind of object?
After buying the gift she wanted, Xia Xiaoke was naturally very happy and had a little confidence, if grandma liked the bracelet she chose, she would like her.
As long as she thought that she would be liked by Han Shaoxun's family, Xia Xiaoke was very happy, she was finally going to meet her grandmother, she would definitely behave well!
However, I thought that after buying the gift, Han Shaoxun would take her to her grandmother's house, but found that he led her to buy several clothes for the children, and bought a lot of food, drink, play, and use, Xia Xiaoke wondered, what kind of rhythm is this?
These are all things that only children use, okay?
What does Han Shaoxun buy these things for?
"When you get to grandma's house, you'll know why I bought these things."
He was not in a hurry to explain to Xia Xiaoke, and after buying these things, Han Shaoxun drove Xia Xiaoke to visit his grandmother.
I thought that my grandmother's house would not be too far from the city, but once again I found out that I was wrong!
Because Han Shaoxun drove for more than an hour, he came to a huge garden in the northernmost part of Jiangcheng.
The gray walls and green tiles are completely different from the architectural styles of those sky-high in the city center, and even when Han Shaoxun said that sentence, Xia Xiaoke wondered if he remembered the wrong place.
Does grandma really live here?
Suspiciously, he got out of the car with Han Shaoxun, helped him carry the purchased items, and then followed him into the garden, and many children flocked to him, shouting excitedly, "Uncle Shaoxun, Uncle Shaoxun!! β
Xia Xiaoke was a little confused, no, what's going on?
How can there be so many children?
Shaoxun bought all these food for these children?
However, what is their relationship with Han Shaoxun?
Why did Han Shaoxun buy these things for them?
"Okay, okay, good, all good."
Touching the little heads of these children one by one, Han Shaoxun distributed the things in his hand and Xia Xiaoke's hand to them, "Uncle Shaoxun bought you clothes, and also bought a lot of delicious food, tell Uncle Shaoxun, do you like me?" β
"Love !!"
The innocent voices of the children floated into Xia Xiaoke's ears, making her feel a trace of happiness from the bottom of her heart - she had never seen such a gentle side of Han Shaoxun.
However, before she could think rationally, Han Shaoxun was already holding her hand and standing in front of this group of children, "This is Aunt Xiaoke, Uncle Shaoxun's wife, do you like her?" β
"I like it!"
"Isn't Aunt Ke beautiful?"
"Beautiful!"
"Aunt Xiaoke and Uncle Shaoxun are not a good match?"
"A good match!"
Well, Xia Xiaoke blushed a little, this is the first time since she and Han Shaoxun were together, and she was a little embarrassed to hear others say that they were a good match.
"Did you hear that, the children said we were a good match."
Han Shaoxun looked back and said to Xia Xiaoke, his eyebrows were full of love for this group of children, and Xia Xiaoke gradually let go of the unnaturalness in his heart.
Because she could see that for Han Shaoxun, this group of children was also a family-like existence, and since they were family, she didn't have to be so restrained.
"Grandma loves to do good deeds."
Holding Xia Xiaoke's hand and walking into the depths of the garden, Han Shaoxun explained to her the origin of this group of children, "These children are all orphans without a father or mother, or children with poor family conditions, miserable backgrounds, and can't afford to go to school. β
"Seeing that they had no one to take them in and could not afford to go to school, Grandma decided to raise them herself, nurture them, and provide for them to go to school."
"So Xiao Ke, as I told you, grandma won't make things difficult."
"As long as you're a good girl, grandma will like you."
Xia Xiaoke nodded flatteredly, she really didn't expect that her grandmother would have such a good deed, which was much more than doing charity.
What a great person.
"Grandma, Shaoxun has come to see you."
took Xia Xiaoke to the deepest room in the garden, Han Shaoxun pushed the door and entered, and sure enough, he saw his grandmother reading a book at the desk.
Xia Xiaoke's heart was for a while, and she was really a woman with a good temperament, so envious.
Grandma Jiang Ying put down the scroll in her hand, took off her glasses, and took Han Shaoxun's hand with a kind smile, "Come, let grandma see, has our Shaoxun lost weight." β
"Shaoxun is well taken care of."
As if proud, Han Shaoxun took Xia Xiaoke's hand and brought her to grandma, "Grandma, this is all Xiaoke's credit." β
"Okay, okay, okay."
Looking at Xia Xiaoke, Jiang Ying was also kind, but she suddenly put on her glasses and looked at her carefully, this move couldn't help but make Xia Xiaoke a little flustered, "Grandma, did Xiao Ke do something wrong?" β
Taking off her glasses, Jiang Ying seemed to notice that she was too reckless, and said, "No, it's not." β
"Sit down closer and let Grandma see it."
Xia Xiaoke's heart trembled, and she didn't know if her grandmother was satisfied with herself, so she just sat obediently beside her grandmother, and let her look at her, before Jiang Ying spoke again, "It's a girl with clear eyebrows, Shaoxun, you didn't disappoint grandma." β
Xia Xiaoke breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't embarrass Han Shaoxun.
"Grandma, this is a gift for you."
Taking out the bracelet of Buddhist beads, Xia Xiaoke's attitude was still humble, "I hope you will like it." β
Jiang Ying was slightly stunned, looked at Han Shaoxun with puzzled eyes, and saw him shaking his head, and his love for Xia Xiaoke in his heart was closer.
It wasn't her grandson who told Xia Xiaoke that she preferred this kind of object, but Xia Xiaoke could guess her preference.
It's not easy.
At present, there are not many young people who can calm down and choose Buddha beads, yes, Xia Xiaoke is indeed a good child.
"Xiao Ke is really sensible, grandma likes your gift very much, help grandma put it on, okay?"
Xia Xiaoke naturally nodded in response, but when she helped Jiang Ying put on the bracelet, she found that her grandmother already had one in her hand.
Xia Xiaoke was a little embarrassed, and said in a panic, "Xiaoke didn't know that grandma already had a bracelet. β
If you knew, you wouldn't buy this.
Jiang Ying smiled, "How can this be the same?" β
"Although the one I wore on my hand was also given by a person with a special status, this string was given by my granddaughter-in-law, which is also of great significance."
"Grandma will cherish it."
Xia Xiaoke nodded again and again, but why did she always feel that the nurse's sentence was given by someone with a special identity was meant for her?
Who is that special person?
Does it have anything to do with Han Shaoxun?
What kind of history is that?
Xia Xiaoke suddenly felt that she knew too little about Han Shaoxun's past-
I was about to say something more, but I didn't want a girl about twenty years old to push the door in, "Grandma, eatβ"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Han Shaoxun lowering his head in a panic and blushing, "Brother Shaoxun, you are here." β
Han Shaoxun nodded slightly, and replied, "Are you going to eat?" β
"I'll help my grandmother over."
"No, noβ"
The girl shook her head busily, and then said in a very low voice, "I didn't know that Brother Shaoxun was coming over today, and there wasn't much food to prepare." β
"Brother Shaoxun, can you wait a little longer, I'll go stir-fry two more dishes."
Han Shaoxun was afraid that Xia Xiaoke would be hungry, so he nodded, but he still introduced Xia Xiaoke to the girl before she went out, "By the way, Sissi, this is Xiaoke, my wife." β
The girl was stunned, and she lowered her head and blushed again, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is good." β
Xia Xiaoke was a little unaccustomed to being called sister-in-law, but looking at the girl, she seemed to be more shy than her, and she didn't want to embarrass her, so she quickly replied, "Hello Sissi, are you going to the kitchen to cook?" Why don't I help you? β
Although her cooking skills are really not very good.
But Na Sissi seemed to be frightened, and shook her head again and again, "No, no need, I can do it myself." β
"Grandma, Brother Shaoxun, sister-in-law, you wait a little longer, you will be able to eat soon."
After Sissi exited the room, Han Shaoxun explained to Xia Xiaoke, "Sissi is also a child sponsored by grandma. β
"Her mother died of illness, and her father was a gambler, an alcoholic, and would beat her and her brother every time he came back from a loss."
"I really couldn't stand this kind of torture, so she took her younger brother out, dropped out of school by herself, and relied on odd jobs to support her brother's schooling."
"Grandma also saw that they were pitiful, so she took them to this garden and let Sissi return to school."
"Sissi is a very sensible child, after coming to this garden, she took the initiative to take on all the housework, and did not ask grandma to do any snacks, so she was also deeply liked by grandma."
Xia Xiaoke nodded thoughtfully, no wonder Sissi's personality was so shy, it turned out that she had been treated like that-"Then, can I also come over to help?" β
I always feel that grandma's good deeds are too great, and if she doesn't do something, she is not worthy of grandma's noble character.
"Of course."
Jiang Ying replied with a smile, "However, your most important task is to give me Shaoxun a good look." β
"This kid, you haven't let me worry less these years."
"With you by his side now, I can rest assured."
Xia Xiaoke wanted to ask, Han Shaoxun, who seemed to be very filial to his grandmother, why did he worry about his grandmother, but seeing him quickly shaking his head, he had to swallow his words and echo his grandmother's words, "Yes, grandma, Xiao Ke knows, Xiao Ke will take good care of Shaoxun." β
