Jiang Xiu pushed open the door and saw Mr. Lan leaning against the bed in a hospital gown and reading with glasses. She became ill-hearted and covered her grandfather's eyes lightly, deliberately pinching her throat: "Guess who I am?"

Mr. Lan paused and then said helplessly: "Jiang Jiang, what are you making trouble?"

Jiang Xiu let go of his hand in a boring manner and sat next to the hospital bed: "What book is grandpa reading?"

Mr. Lan raised the cover of the book to show her, which was a collection of essays, saying: "When I was young, everyone went to read medical books, but now I realized that the prose is moving."

Jiang Xiu said, "Hey, you can't stay in the room all day. Go out and chat with the old ladies more often. I promise not to tell my grandma secretly!"

Mr. Lan laughed and pinched the soft flesh on her face and said, "This girl is really... hasn't I dealt with you for a long time?"

Jiang Xiu begs for mercy quickly: "Hey hey hey! It hurts! Grandpa, let go."

Mr. Lan knew at a glance that she was pretending, how much force he used, but Jiang Xiu's skin was tender. When he let go of his hand, her cheek was still red. Mr. Lan felt a little distressed again. However, Jiang Xiu rubbed her face twice and asked, "Grandpa, how are you doing recently?"

“It’s much better.”

Mr. Lan said: "I met a few friends. In the afternoon, I talked about the past and the present, played chess and drank tea. It was also good. By the way, you should remember to thank the parents of your classmate if you know?

If there was no one, how could I have such a comfortable life?”

Jiang Xiu pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and took a light breath: "Grandpa..." After all, she was a child raised by herself. Mr. Lan's face became serious: "What's wrong?

What happened?"

Jiang Xiu said softly: "Actually, the person I was talking about was not my classmate's parent...he..." Jiang Xiu pulled his finger: "It's a very important person for me."

She told the story of Jiang Shiyuan and Gou Ling and his wife selling themselves to the Fu family. Mr. Lan almost didn't breathe a sigh of relief. Jiang Xiu quickly gave him a happy mood: "Grandpa! Grandpa, don't be excited! I'm fine, I'm really fine, Master Han treats me very well..." Mr. Lan cried: "These two beasts... beasts! How can you do such a thing!!"

Jiang Xiu sniffed and said, "Grandpa, it's all over."

Mr. Lan looked at Jiang Xiu's well-behaved face and couldn't help but hold her into his arms, bursting into tears.

He could not imagine how this teenage child came here. As soon as he thought of her being taken to a place where he was unfamiliar and being a child bride for a moody man... he felt like a knife.

"No... you can't continue like this! Who is Fu Chenhan?

Maybe he will hate you at any time..." Mr. Lan grabbed Jiang Xiu's hand: "Jiang Jiang, leave with grandpa, go wherever you want..."                                                                                                             �

Jiang Xiu said with tears in her eyes: "Didn't you teach me since you were a child to look at this world with your own eyes?"

The uncle is very nice to me, really good. I think, if one day, he really doesn't like me anymore... he won't attack me either. Grandpa, in fact, sometimes, I'm very grateful to Gou Ling and Jiang Shiyuan. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have met Mr. Han, nor would I see a broader world."

She lowered her head and whispered: "I learned a lot by his side."

Mr. Lan noticed something was wrong and stared at Jiang Xiu: "Jiang Jiang, are you..." Jiang Xiu shook his head: "Grandpa, I have grown up, I know what I am doing. Maybe in your opinion, my thoughts are still immature, but how can a person grow up without experiencing a few setbacks in his life?

If you let me leave now, I will be unwilling to give up for the rest of my life..." She raised her eyes and looked at Mr. Lan: "So, would you please let me be willful once?

Even if I lose the bet, I won’t regret my decision.”

"..." Mr. Lan sighed: "You are right. You have grown up. Jiang Jiang. You have your own ideas. Grandpa should not interfere with you, but staying by his side is far less simple than you think. Do you need to remember to be careful?

If something happens in the future, don’t you hide it from your grandfather anymore?”

"knew."

Jiang Xiu leaned into Mr. Lan's arms intimately and said softly: "Thank you."

Mr. Lan touched Jiang Xiu's head and sighed: "You, like your mother, you will never die until the Yellow River. You will not hit the wall and never look back..." Jiang Xiu smiled and said: "By the way, grandpa, do you know the aunt in Room 23?"

"You said Xiao Dong?"

Mr. Lan said: "I know, but she is in a bad state and doesn't come out often. She has a son who is a big star."

Jiang Xiu said: "Not only her son is a big star, but also her future daughter-in-law."

"You said that girl named Feng?"

Mr. Lan shook his head: "The girl looks bright and beautiful, but her character is not good. Xiao Dong doesn't like her either. She often praises her son's childhood sweetheart to us, as if she is called... An An?

In the past, the two families were neighbors, An An was a single-parent family. Her mother was very busy with work and often asked her neighbors to take care of her, so the two children were always very good. She was a handsome man since she was a child. She had been in love for more than ten years. Who knew that later, her son broke up with her childhood sweetheart and was with the girl named Feng... Alas, that girl actually looked down on Xiao Dong very much from the countryside and was a housewife."

Jiang Xiu didn't expect that his grandfather actually knew about the He family and said, "I have seen that An An just now. It's called Dueran. It sounds very good, right?"

"Her parents must like her very much."

Mr. Lan said: "This name is very particular."

Jiang Xiu pouted: "What did my mother think? I named me 'Sui'?"

Mr. Lan Xu smiled helplessly and said, "She originally gave you a name, something, something, something, everything is changed. I think this word is not good, so I changed it for you and it looks more lively."

Things are different and people are not enough to stop everything. Tears shed tears first if you want to speak.

It's not a good word indeed.

Jiang Xiu stayed with his grandfather for a while. Seeing that the time was almost over, he announced his goodbye to his grandfather. When she walked to the door, Mr. Lan suddenly said, "Jiang Jiang, if you suffer a grievance, come to my grandfather's place."

Jiang Xiu's fingers stopped, his eyes were a little wet, but he smiled: "Okay, I understand."

She went out the door and happened to see Fu Chenhan standing by the wall. She seemed to have never left. At that moment, something suddenly felt so hard that she was holding roots and sprouting.
