Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2097: Chapter 2033: Too Embarrassed to Ask

His car couldn’t accommodate everyone, but he found someone to help and rented a bigger one, which freed up his hands so he could hold Wang Yi’s hand and enjoy the scenery outside the window together.

Anyway, Chen Yin has already made up his mind; he must succeed in proposing this year, so business is temporarily taking second place, and his priority is to win his wife over first.

Just as Chen Yin had taken Ge Dejun and the others away, Old Meng came knocking at the door.

When the door opened and he saw Meng Xinian holding a basket of groceries, he was taken aback.

”Xinian, where are you headed?”

”Going to buy groceries.”

Meng Xinian responded naturally, but Old Meng was stunned.

He had never realized his eldest grandson would even go grocery shopping.

”Where’s Little?” he asked instinctively.

Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow, ”She’s at the hospital. But, Grandpa, even if Little is here, I can still go buy groceries. It’s not necessarily her job to do these things, is it?”

Old Meng was speechless.

He didn’t mean it like that...

Alright, he was a bit old-fashioned, assuming tasks like this were typically done by women.

Moreover, Meng Xinian had always been in the military, training and on missions, he hadn’t expected this young man to handle such tasks—it was indeed surprising.

”You’re right, Little is busy, and it’s good for you to share the load.”

Meng Xinian invited him inside, ”Grandma and Grandpa are here, keep them company for a chat. I’ll be back shortly.”

He needed to buy groceries, otherwise, what would they eat for lunch? Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao didn’t know where the local market was, so he’d buy enough for two or three days, and then Little could take them later.

”Hey, come back quickly; I have something to discuss with you.”

”Alright.”

Meng Xinian left, and Old Meng headed to the living room; Chiang Songhai was making tea. Old Meng immediately recognized it as Chiang Xiao’s homemade tea leaves and couldn’t help but crave it.

”Old Meng is here, come sit, quickly.”

”I haven’t had Little’s homemade tea leaves in a while.” After sitting down, Old Meng couldn’t help but sigh.

Chiang Songhai paused.

Why did this tone have a hint of grievance?

Old Meng was indeed somewhat resentful.

Before, Chiang Xiao used to occasionally prepare these items for him: tea snacks, tea leaves, never letting him run out of food and drink.

But then it stopped.

The remaining ones were finished a month ago, and he felt embarrassed to ask Chiang Xiao directly for more.

After all, he knew Chiang Xiao’s homemade things were particularly precious.

If he and Chao Jun hadn’t hurt the child’s heart before, she really wouldn’t have any complaints about them.

Thinking of this, Old Meng sighed again.

”There’s still a jar of tea leaves here, you can take it back later, Old Meng.” Chiang Songhai took out a small jar of tea leaves from the drawer; from its packaging, it was clearly Chiang Xiao’s handiwork.

Old Meng’s eyes brightened, ”How could I accept this?”

”There’s no need to fuss over it; you’re Xinian’s grandfather, which makes you Little’s grandfather too. A jar of tea leaves is nothing; Little wouldn’t begrudge any amount.”

Chiang Songhai said so because he felt that Chiang Xiao had always been generous and considerate to her family.

Old Meng felt even more uncomfortable hearing this.

He could only nod awkwardly.

”Yes, Little is a good kid.”

”Old Meng, how is Xinian’s father’s health?” Chiang Songhai was still quite concerned about Meng Chaojun’s health. If Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao were to marry, he wouldn’t worry about this either.
