Translator: 549690339
Qin Jiale came back after washing the straw mats and saw her father and brother making green balls. She placed the mats on the stone table to dry.
She ran into the kitchen and saw her mother and grandmother cooking.
“Grandma, you’re here!” Qin Jiale happily held her grandmother’s hand.
“Yes, Grandma came to see my lovely granddaughter.” Grandma Qin was delighted to see her granddaughter.
“Grandma, we invited you and Grandpa to live with us, but you never came.” Qin Jiale pouted.
Qin Jiale couldn’t help but be spoiled in front of her grandmother.
It seemed like her usual demeanor was a facade, and her real self was like a little girl.
She appeared to be charming and clever, making people want to love and pamper her.
“Grandpa and I are used to living there on our own.
As we get older, we become more set in our ways and don’t want to disturb your lives. It’s enough if you visit us from time to time.” Grandma Qin patted her granddaughter’s hand.
“Grandma, is Grandpa here too?” Qin Jiale asked her grandmother since she didn’t see her grandfather.
“Yes, he’s in the living room. Do you need him for something?” Grandma Qin told Qin Jiale where Grandpa was.
Qin Jiale let go of her grandmother’s arm and happily said, “I’m going to find
Grandpa.”
Qin Jiale spoke as she was already at the kitchen door.
“This girl is still the same. Every time her grandfather comes, she runs to play chess with him.” Nangong Shulan shook her head as she watched her daughter’s happy figure.
“Of all our grandsons and granddaughters, only Jiale really likes to be close to her grandfather.” Grandma Qin sighed when she thought of her other grandchildren.
They say that there is a generation gap every three years, but there is no sign of that between Qin Jiale and her grandfather.
The two shared a common hobby of playing chess, and Qin Jiale’s chess skills
were taught by her grandfather.
Qin Jiale rushed to the living room: “Grandpa, I’m back!”
Grandpa Qin looked up from the chessboard at the door: “Our Lele is back!
Come over and finish this game of chess with your grandfather.”
It turned out that Grandpa Qin was playing chess with himself, and now that Qin Jiale was back, he had someone to play with.
“Okay!” Qin Jiale sat down opposite her grandfather.
“It’s your turn.” Grandpa Qin held a black piece and looked at Qin Jiale.
“Alright.” Qin Jiale replied and placed a white piece down.
The grandfather and granddaughter engaged in an intense battle, taking turns making moves.
“Dad, Jiale, it’s time for dinner!” Nangong Shulan brought the food to the table and shouted at the two. After shouting, she went back to the kitchen to get more dishes.
The chess-playing duo were absorbed in their game and didn’t hear Nangong Shulan’s call.
When Nangong Shulan came back with more dishes, she saw that the two were still playing chess and couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
It was always like this. The moment the two get together, they only have eyes for chess and nothing else.
Nangong Shulan thought she would bring out the rest of the dishes first and then call the two again.
“Honey, are you guys done yet? Time to eat.” Nangong Shulan called to the father and son in the yard.
“Mom, we’ll be done soon.” Qin Yu glanced at Nangong Shulan and replied.
“Then you guys better hurry up, or the food will get cold.” Nangong Shulan nodded and left a message before returning to the kitchen.
“Mom, you can go eat. I can handle things here.” Nangong Shulan looked at the food in the pot.
“It’s okay, it will be done soon.” Grandma Qin stirred the food in the pot.
“Shulan, pass me a plate. I’ll put the food on it.” Grandma Qin noticed that the food in the pot was almost ready, but she forgot to grab a plate,
“Mom, here you go!” Nangong Shulan handed the clean plate to her mother-in-law.
“Okay, let’s go eat.” Grandma Qin filled the plates with food and gestured for Nangong Shulan to carry a plate mith her to the living room..
