"Xiao Chu, eat."

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the house and sat down on the sofa, Grandma Xia pushed all the pastries, snacks, and fruits on the table towards Xia Yichu. She couldn't refuse, so she gave Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia each a piece of pastry, and then took a banana for herself.

"Xiao Chu, you and your grandma sit for a while. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."

"Grandpa, there's so much food on the table, I can't possibly finish it all. Please don't buy anything else. It's not convenient for me to carry too much stuff on the plane."

The elderly couple didn't like these kinds of things, and they had given Xia Yichu a lot of snacks last time, so she couldn't refuse them. Luckily, she had her spatial storage, so she could store those things there and eat them slowly.

"Okay, I understand."

Grandpa Xia touched the pocket money he had saved up over the years in his pocket. He decided not to buy anything heavy that Xiao Chu would have trouble carrying, so he would buy something that could be put in his pocket.

"Your grandpa has no money, what good things could he buy for you? Help me into the room, Grandma will get you something nice." Grandma Xia said, clapping her hands after finishing her pastries.

"Grandma, I don't need anything, you can keep it for yourself."

Grandma Xia stood up without saying a word, and Xia Yichu could only help her back to her room.

"Xiao Chu, bring up the box from under Grandma's bed."

Grandma Xia sat on the bed and said that Xia Yichu squatted down to look and found that there was indeed a box under the bed. She picked it up and put it on the bedside table.

Grandma Xia took a key from under her pillow and gave it to Xia Yichu. She had given the younger generation everything she needed, and there wasn't much inside.

"Xiao Chu, open it."

Having come this far, Xia Yichu didn't mince words. She took the key and opened the box. At the top were hundred-yuan bills, but the rest was unclear; she didn't know what else was inside.

"Xiao Chu, you can take this money later."

"grandmother"

"Listen to me, this money was sent back to us by your father. It also includes the rent money from your house, so it's all yours. Your grandfather and I have pensions, and your father, Zhiheng, Zhiqian, and your uncle all give us money."

I don't want anyone's money. I didn't spend a penny of the money they gave me; I saved it for a while and then gave it back to them. This is money your dad gave you, so you can keep it without worry.

Grandma Xia took all the money out and put it on the bed. There should be several thousand yuan in it, but Grandma Xia never counted the exact amount.

"Xiao Chu, here are two gold necklaces and a pair of gold rings for you, and here is also a pair of jade bracelets."

Xia Yichu stared blankly at the jewelry; her grandmother had given her the exact same thing in her past life.

Unfortunately, in an effort to please Chen Shaoping's family, she gave each of his two older sisters one of the two gold necklaces and his mother a pair of gold rings. The jade bracelet was taken by Chen Shaoping; it's probably been given to Yang Mengru.

"These pieces of jewelry were originally meant for your mother. I sent her some jewelry before, but I secretly wanted to see her and give it to her in person."

"It's all Grandma's fault. I was afraid of disturbing your mother's new life, so I kept my eyes off her. Who knew that letter was written by Yang Yunxian?"

This really isn't Grandma Xia's fault. She had already planned it all out while she was in the Northwest: once she returned to Beijing and recovered, she would go to Guangdong Province to see Lin Weihong.

But her son told her that Lin Weihong had written to say she had remarried and didn't want the Xia family to disturb her new life. Xia Guoan felt a little uncomfortable, but Grandma Xia was heartbroken for a long time.

Two years ago, before she underwent surgery, she requested to see Lin Weihong one last time, but Zhou Wenbin said she wasn't suited to travel far. Her family wanted to call Lin Weihong and ask her to come to Kyoto to see Grandma Xia, as they didn't want her to leave with regrets.

But Grandma Xia refused to comply and even threatened them, so the matter was eventually dropped. Fortunately, Grandma Xia's surgery was successful, and she pulled through.

Although the surgery was successful, Zhou Wenbin still advised against her traveling far. Later, Grandma Xia came to her senses and stopped mentioning going to Guangdong Province.

"Grandma, it's all in the past now."

Grandma Xia couldn't get over it. If her eldest son hadn't saved Yang Yunxia, ​​he wouldn't have been schemed against by Wang Fengxian, and he wouldn't have had to marry her. Xia Yichu's mother wouldn't have died so young, and perhaps her son and Wen Hui wouldn't have passed away so early either.

"Your two cousins ​​are decent people, you can associate with them. As for Yang Yunxia, ​​it's best to avoid her."

Grandma Xia doesn't really want to see her now. Whenever she sees her, she'll be reminded of how her son was schemed against by her mother, and even her youngest daughter-in-law died because of her.

Not only did she ruin her eldest son's life, but her younger son's life was also ruined. If it weren't for her two grandsons, she would never want to see Yang Yunxia again in her life.

"Grandma, do you think Yang Yunxia likes my uncle?"

"Of course I like it, how could I not like it?" Grandma Xia said firmly.

"No, Grandma, didn't you say that Uncle didn't know her before the marriage?"

"I don't know him. Let me show you a picture of your uncle, and you'll understand."

Grandma Xia started searching inside the box, and Xia Yichu then saw that it was full of photos.

"Let me tell you, your uncle is just as good-looking as Shi Zhou. Don't be fooled by your two cousins' good looks; they only inherited a few parts of your uncle's appearance."

"Here, come here, Xiao Chu, take a look. These photos were taken by Zhou's girl."

In the photo, a handsome young man is holding a rose. His eyebrows and eyes reveal a touch of heroism, and his gentle gaze and mild temperament are looking ahead. He is probably looking at the person who took the photo.

"This is your Grandma Zhou's daughter, Zhou Wenhui, who is also Pei Shizhou's mother. The two of them grew up together. Your uncle and Wenbin are the same age, classmates, and good friends. Wenhui is two years younger than them."

After looking at several photos, Xia Yichu saw a photo of Xia Guohua with a girl. The girl was very beautiful, with a flamboyant kind of beauty, and looked a lot like Pei Shizhou.

Grandma Xia went to the bedside table, took out a thick photo album, and handed it to Xia Yichu. She had looked at these photos again last night because she couldn't sleep.

"These are photos your uncle asked me to keep after his wedding."

Grandma Xia sighed and said, "Your grandfather and I have never done anything bad in our lives. Your uncle and your father have been doing their best to protect our country. Why is it that their marriage has been so complicated?"

Grandma has no other requests now, she just hopes that the three of you are happy, healthy and can be with the people you love.

Your two cousins ​​have already achieved that, Xiao Chu. Life is neither too long nor too short; being happy is the most important thing. Don't let yourself have any regrets.

Xia Yichu didn't take Grandma Xia's words to heart. In this life, matters of the heart would definitely come after family. She wouldn't do anything to wrong herself or hurt her family for a man, no matter how much she liked him.

Her only wish is for her loved ones to live peacefully and healthily, and for the same tragedy as in her previous life to never happen again.

"Grandma, can you tell me how you figured out that Yang Yunxia likes my uncle?"

Xia Yichu looked at the photos and asked, "This album contains many photos of Zhou Wenhui, including several group photos with Xia Guohua, and a group photo of the three of them with Zhou Wenbin."

"But back then, your uncle went back to his unit just two days after his wedding, and Yang Yunxia wrote to him every few days. Don't look at her now, she was very thin when she got married, and her hands were very rough from working every day."

Since marrying into the Xia family, she has been willing to spend money on face cream, applying it to her hands and face every day. She has also bought herself several sets of clothes and never missed a day of reading.

Even after giving birth to Zhiheng, she was still reading during her postpartum confinement. Once, I couldn't help but ask her why she was studying so hard. She said it was to be worthy of my uncle and have common topics with him.

She even told me she liked your uncle at first sight. I'm not surprised at all; plenty of girls like your uncle.
