Although he has obtained a marriage certificate, it won't be good for Xin Gan to live with him this time.
Cheng Jiu drove Xin Gan and the elders of the Xin family home in person. Old Master Xin was also there. On the way back, they chatted for a while, but Old Master Xin fell silent and closed his eyes to rest.
Old Master Xin didn't particularly interfere in the younger generation's affairs either. They had already obtained their marriage certificates, and both families had fulfilled their obligations. If they really became in-laws, this matter would be settled, and his worries would be put to rest.
On this side of the Cheng family, Mrs. Cheng was in high spirits and couldn't sit still. She had finally settled the matter.
Cheng's father is a man and has become much more composed. He doesn't show his emotions on his face and is watching the news in the living room.
It's just a pity. Mrs. Cheng suddenly said.
Cheng's father raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's a pity?"
It's a pity that they won't live at home after their marriage. Cheng Jiu still has to go back for a while and can't hold the wedding until the end of the year. I can't wait to have a grandson.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let Cheng Jiu decide this himself. He's such a grown-up, but he's not in a hurry." "
It sounds as if you don't want to hold your grandson quickly?
Cheng's father adjusted the frame of his presbyopia glasses and said, "This can't be rushed. It's not that you can get pregnant immediately after getting married. It depends on the couple's will. Don't rush them. Just let things take their natural course."
Mrs. Cheng was a hot-tempered person and couldn't sit still. As soon as she heard her father's unhurried tone, she got angry: "Now you can speak without any pain. Back then, I got pregnant with Cheng Jiu less than two months after our marriage. Your parents were overjoyed. As for me, I've endured so much hardship and finally raised a child. Can't I even have a grandson?"
I didn't mean that. Don't get stuck in a rut. Did I say I didn't want a grandson? I don't mean it depends on the outcome and the outcome. The young people nowadays don't have the same mindset as we did back then.
Mrs. Cheng was too lazy to argue with him. She snorted coldly and went upstairs.
Cheng's father shook his head helplessly.
...
The car stopped in front of Xin's house. Xin's father asked Cheng Jiu to go upstairs and play a game of chess. As his father-in-law requested, Cheng Jiu naturally dared not refuse and seized the time to walk around in front of his father-in-law to show his presence.
Xin Gan supported her grandpa back to his room to rest. Grandpa would stay at Xin's home tonight and not return to the old house.
Mother Xin was also watching from the side and helping to pour the tea.
Grandpa had just lay down and waved at Xin Gan, saying, "Come and sit for a while. Grandpa has something to talk to you about."
Grandpa was usually very strict. I don't know if Xin Gan Zhen was going to get married. Suddenly, I felt heartbroken and reluctant. Grandpa's eyes were very kind.
What's wrong?
Grandpa looked at Xin Gan and said, "It was Grandpa's intention to let you study abroad alone back then. Do you hate Grandpa?"
If it weren't for her grandfather's intention, Xin's father wouldn't have been so determined to send her abroad.
Xin Gan shook her head and said, "It's not that serious. I was just a bit unhappy. Later, I got used to it. Now I can understand your feelings. You are also doing this for my own good."
Grandpa said, "It's not easy for our family to achieve this. Your parents have had a hard time. Grandpa doesn't want your parents to spoil you. Even if you are a girl, everyone says that girls should be raised in luxury, but Grandpa doesn't want that. Grandpa wants you to be independent, tenacious, calm in doing things, have your own ideas, not go bad, and definitely not make bad friends."
Grandpa has always been very kind to you. He has always been kind to you. Cheng Jiu is a good kid. He's not bad. Grandpa didn't misjudge him. Xin Xin, only when you marry him will Grandpa feel at ease. Now that this wish has come true, there's nothing to worry about.
Grandpa was really tired. He said a lot of things but never told Xin Gan.
It was not until Grandpa fell asleep that Xin Gan got up and left.
Because her grandfather said these words, Xin Gan was even more determined not to let him know what had happened to her abroad.
...
When Xin Gan went downstairs, Xin's mother wasn't in the living room. Her aunt said she had gone back to her room to rest. Only Xin's father and Cheng Jiu were playing chess.
For a moment, Xin's father had the upper hand, and Cheng Jiu was at a disadvantage. It was unknown whether he had given in to Xin's father, but Xin's father's expression was intriguing as he ate one of his sons.
This was Cheng Jiu's first time playing chess with Xin's father. Of course, he couldn't let Xin's father lose face and kept giving in.
Xin's father caught a glimpse of Xin Gan coming downstairs and said, "Daughter, come and help Dad finish this game of chess."
Suddenly, it was Xin Gan's turn. Without a word, Xin's father called her over and stood up to offer his seat, allowing Xin Gan to sit down.
Xin Gan was pinned down on her shoulders and sat in the spot where her father had just been, facing Cheng Jiu directly. She was a bit stunned and said, "Dad, wasn't it you and Cheng Jiu who got off?" Why am it me instead?
"Dear daughter, Dad is worried about your mom. I'll go and have a look. You go down first."
After saying that, Xin's father went upstairs and waved his hand to convince Xin Gan.
Xin Gan rested her chin on her hand and looked at him speechlessly.
She glanced at the chessboard. It was clearly Cheng Jiu who was at a disadvantage.
Cheng Jiu's eyes were burning with passion as he stared at her, his meaning very clear: he was waiting for her to play chess.
Xin Gan spread out his hands and said, "I don't know Go."
Then what can you do?
"Flying Chess." Xin Gan said, "I don't have it at home. I play with my classmates abroad."
Cheng Jiu: "Then I'll teach you."
Xin Gan wasn't sleepy at this moment. She just played with him for a while. She was smart and he could teach her. She understood the rules immediately because Xin Gan was playing chess with him at this time. He didn't slack off and won two games seriously.
Xin Gan has lost interest and doesn't really want to play anymore.
Auntie has now poured over a cup of hot milk and a cup of plain boiled water. The milk is perfect, while the plain boiled water is sweet and pungent.
Xin Gan said, "Auntie, it's getting late. You go and rest too. Don't worry about us."
The aunt said yes and then walked away.
Xin Gan saw that Cheng Jiu didn't touch that cup of milk and said, "What's wrong?" Not drinking? You didn't eat much just now. Have a glass of milk to fill your stomach.
Cheng Jiu said solemnly, "I won't drink milk. If I do, I won't be able to kiss you."
She is lactose intolerant and can't touch anything at all.
Xin Gan's ears were burning hot. He cursed the rogue in his heart and knew he was thinking about that kind of thing.
She didn't hold back either and said, "It's getting late. You should go back now."
In a fit of rage and shame, he gave the order to leave.
Cheng Jiu smiled and said, "Then you give it to me."
Xin Gan stood up and said, "Take it to the door."
When she really saw him to the door, she wouldn't leave. Standing by the door, she waved at him and said, "Drive slowly on the road. Bye."
Cheng Jiu smoothed the back of his teeth and watched her hide at the door, with only a plain face exposed, looking as if he was eager for him to leave as soon as possible.
It was precisely because he saw that he couldn't do anything to her at this moment. This was her home, and the action was too big, startling her parents. It was he who made a fool of himself.
After the door closed, Xin Gan clutched her chest. Her heart rate was too fast.
...
Cheng Jiu was sitting in the car and didn't rush to leave. He found a box of cigarettes in the car, took one and bit it, but didn't light it up. The doctor told him not to smoke. Such a long-term smoking addiction couldn't be quit just like that.
