As an old man who used to be in a high position and is now idle at home, Liu Xingye's life seems somewhat boring and boring. Fortunately, for an old man of his age, although he likes to be lively, quiet days are the norm.

For Liu Xingye, the greatest pleasure of every day is to read the newspaper and listen to the radio, and occasionally have time to go to an old friend's house to sit and chat. In addition to these, he will also receive some documents that he needs to give comments or suggestions.

All in all, it doesn't seem like he's completely retiring, and he occasionally has to deal with some paperwork and information. It would be inappropriate to say that he is not retired, because he no longer has any position, and he is indeed called an idler.

Just as usual, Liu Xingye finished eating the breakfast prepared by the housekeeping aunt, brewed a pot of tea sent by Mu Shanhe, and took the newspaper prepared by the assistant, intending to see what news or national events were published in the newspaper today.

As a result, it didn't work out, and not long after he sat down, assistant He Chengbang smiled and said, "Leader, someone has come to see you." ”

"Who? Why didn't you notice in advance? ”

"Because the person who came is going home, naturally there is no need to notify."

"Home? Is it Xiao Jia or Xiao Jiang? ”

"Leader, you better see for yourself!"

When Lin Nianjia appeared in the courtyard with the two children, Liu Xingye said with a confused expression: "Xiaojia, who are they?" ”

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Nuan, called Grandpa Zeng."

As Lin Nianjia didn't answer, but said such a thing to the two children, Liu Xingye was stunned for a while before he was a little excited: "Are they Xiaoyan's children?" What about Xiaoyan's child? ”

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Just when Liu Xingye was a little anxious to ask this, Liu Hongyan, who was timid and didn't dare to come directly to the door, finally stepped into this courtyard gate that he didn't want to set foot in bravely with the encouragement of his husband.

Hearing Liu Xingye, who was being shouted, looked at Liu Hongyan with tears on his face, and stepped forward with some distress: "Girl, I made you suffer." ”

seemed to be a simple sentence, but it made Liu Hongyan burst into tears instantly. As the proud daughter of the sky in the past, she suddenly lost her mother, and even cut off contact with the family for her mother, how could she not have a trace of sadness in her heart?

Even if I have the impression that Liu Xingye's grandfather has a somewhat old-fashioned and serious personality, in my memory, this old man treats their grandchildren equally. Just because they're girls doesn't make them disgusted or anything.

If you want to say that what Liu Hongyan really hates, maybe it is the so-called father who she still doesn't want to see to this day!

Looking at the mother who threw herself into the old man's arms and cried loudly, the older son was fine, but the young daughter couldn't help crying. Fortunately, after being picked up and comforted, the little girl finally stopped crying.

But with concerned eyes, he still stared at his mother who kept touching her tears, and stretched out her hand directly in Lin Nianjia's arms and said, "Mom, hug!" ”

Seeing that his daughter was so dependent on herself, Liu Hongyan also hurriedly hugged her daughter over, and then said: "Grandpa, this is my husband Wang Lin, who is currently a technical engineer at the Shanghai Shipyard. This is his son Xinyu, and this is his daughter Nuan Nuan. ”

"Oh, why didn't this girl say anything in advance when she came back? I don't have anything to prepare in this house! ”

"Grandpa, what are you going to do? I came back this time just to come back to see you, not to see anyone else. And Xiao Yu and Xiao Nuan were still clamoring to see their uncle before! ”

"See uncle? That kid from the mountains and rivers? ”

"Hmmm! Before, Shanhe went to Shanghai to find me and gave me a small western-style building. Although I didn't plan to ask for it, he said that Xiaojia and the other two younger sisters had it, so he insisted that I accept it, which made me feel very warm in my heart.

Later, he also said, no matter what happened before, at least your grandfather is still competent, so let me not complain. And I also want the two children to know that they not only have a grandfather, but even a great great-grandfather. ”

"Alas, you girl! Okay, since you're back, let's have dinner at home at noon and tell me about your situation. Even though the bastard told me about you, I didn't quite believe what he said.

When Shanhe came back earlier, he only mentioned you a little bit. He said that he could arrange for you to do easier work, but you didn't think it was necessary and you liked your current job, so he didn't force it in the end. ”

Holding Liu Hongyan, who was holding his daughter in his arms, while sitting down in the living room, Liu Xingye did not forget to hold Wang Xinyu's little hand. For him, although he did not see his great-grandson or great-granddaughter, he finally saw his great-grandson and great-granddaughter.

In the joking words of those old comrades-in-arms, he is now considered to be in the same house for four generations, and his merits are complete!

Although Liu Hongyan returned to Beijing to visit relatives, he did not alarm too many people. But for those who paid attention to the Liu family, they still quickly learned that they had disappeared. Seeing that the Liu family is happy now, they all know who it is.

On the other hand, Liu Shanjiang, who was working outside, also hurried back after learning that Liu Hongyan had returned home. When he saw Liu Hongyan, he said very respectfully: "Sister, you're back." Is this brother-in-law with your child? ”

"Shanjiang, long time no see. I heard Shanhe say that your leg is already healed, but I didn't expect it to look really good now. But that's fine, compared to what I remember about you, you look more mature and stable now. ”

Liu Shanjiang, who was ridiculed, didn't dare to say anything, he knew that this cousin was eloquent or had a mouth, and she had always been very powerful. The thought of hurrying back without a gift quickly realized that something was wrong.

Hurriedly said: "Grandpa, sister, brother-in-law, I'll go out first and come back soon." ”

Looking at Liu Shanjiang, who came back and left in a hurry, Liu Xingye was a little stunned and said: "I just said that he was mature and stable, but now he has become rough and rough." However, after his leg was better, his personality and temper changed a lot. ”

"Yes! In the past, he wouldn't call me sister at all, but more often by my name. ”

Although Liu Shanjiang has a sister who can live with the previous family, Liu Hongyan has some boyish personalities, and he does quarrel with Liu Shanjiang a lot. What made Liu Shanjiang speechless the most was that he couldn't beat Liu Hongyan at that time.

But no one expected that Liu Hongyan would go to Shanghai later, or even never return. As a result, goodbye now, this cousin with a fierce personality is already a mother of two children, and Liu Shanjiang feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about it.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Shanjiang to finally come back breathless, and he was carrying a gift specially prepared for the two children. It was only at this time that everyone in the Liu family knew that he had just hurriedly gone out to buy gifts.

And Wang Xinyu, who was a little older, said after accepting the gift: "Thank you, uncle!" Mom, is he an uncle? ”

"Well, he's the eldest uncle, and the one you saw before is the younger uncle, both uncles!"

Hearing that Liu Hongyan introduced himself as an uncle to the child, Liu Shanjiang also felt quite happy. Although his own sister also had children, the nephew was not close to him at all, and he didn't even recognize him as an uncle before.

The reason is very simple, at that time, Liu Shanjiang had a scab on his legs, how could his nephew, who had been spoiled since childhood, recognize a scab as an uncle? Now seeing his cousin's child and calling him uncle sincerely, Liu Shanjiang instantly feels so satisfied!
