Chapter 187: Thanks to grandma’s temptation, Nana took the initiative to apologize.
Xie Zhiyao parked the car at the entrance of the village, and Grandma Xie and Xu Hongdou got out together.
"Grandma, please pack up first. I'll come pick you up after I park the car." Xie Zhiyao said.
Grandma Xie waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay."
Xu Hongdou took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, I can help grandma clean up."
"Thank you then." Xie Zhiyao said gratefully.
Xu Hongdou came to the stall and saw that the package was still there, and she was relieved. Her mother's social skills were also involved. If she had lost it, she would have been scolded for a long time.
Grandma Xie carefully observed the two along the way, especially her eldest grandson, who was particularly active today and had a smile on his face the whole time.
Grandma Xie, who was old and experienced, recalled that when her eldest grandson saw Xu Hongdou on the terrace during breakfast, he was in a daze and even grinned. This had never happened before. She absolutely did not believe that these two people were boring.
However, it seems that Hongdou is not very interested in her grandson. She spent more time chatting with me than with her grandson. And I have to ask about her previous relationship with Xiaochen first, so as not to waste time.
"Hongdou, what did you send? Is it very valuable?" asked Grandma Xie.
Xu Hongdou smiled and replied, "It's not very expensive, it's just a piece of clothing that my mother asked someone to make. But my mother likes to nag, and if she knew it was lost, I would definitely be in trouble."
"Old people are actually like this, especially mothers. They are always worried about their children." Grandma Xie changed the subject and sighed, "Our Ayao has a hard life. His mother passed away when he was in junior high school. But Ayao worked hard and was admitted to a key university in Beijing. Everything was fine, but it was because of me, an old lady, that I failed to live up to expectations and delayed the child's fate."
Xu Hongdou comforted him, "Mr. Xie is doing very well now. He is developing his own industrial chain. The village has a good scenery and location. It will develop sooner or later."
Grandma Xie shook her head and said, "I, an old lady, don't understand these things. But young people like you nowadays are not in a hurry to get married. Ayao is already 32 years old. His father was considered to be late in getting married, but when he was his age, he was already in elementary school."
Xu Hongdou smiled and shook her head: "Grandma, this kind of thing can't be rushed."
"Hongdou, are you and Xiaochen dating?" Grandma Xie suddenly asked.
Xu Hongdou smiled and shook her head: "Grandma, you misunderstood. Xiao Chen and I are not what you think. I just treat him as my younger brother."
"Brother?" Grandma Xie was moved and asked, "I thought you looked a little strange, so that's how it is. But Hongdou, it's ok for men to not be in a hurry when it comes to their careers, but we women are different, so you still have to hurry up."
Xu Hongdou looked a little confused: "I can only say that I haven't met the right one yet."
Grandma Xie shook her head: "Ayao also told me that it would be fine if I met the right one. But I have introduced so many people to you, and there is not a single suitable one. I really don't understand you."
"Then maybe you haven't met someone you like?"
"Just the one who is eye-catching?"
Xu Hongdou said as a matter of course: "Yes, that's how I see it anyway."
"What about the poor ones?"
"It's okay to be poor. I can make money." Xu Hongdou felt a little confused. She always felt that there was something wrong with what Grandma Xie said.
Grandma Xie had an idea and was just about to give it some free rein to promote the product to her eldest grandson when Xu Hongdou's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?" Xu Hongdou answered the phone.
"I have already eaten."
"I received the clothes, but I haven't given them to Xiao Chen yet."
Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I will definitely bring your aunt's favor to you, okay?"
Grandma Xie was still organizing her words, but when she heard Xu Hongdou's words, she was stunned. She looked at the express delivery beside her and suddenly realized that she might have taken it for granted. The parents all knew about it, what brother? She was also confused at her old age. It was obvious that he was a lover's brother. She was probably just afraid of gossip.
In the small restaurant, Nana was in a bad mood, sitting there alone, picking up the harmonica and playing it softly. The melodious melody seemed to carry all the emotions in her heart, including sadness, longing, and expectation.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Chen An stopped to listen. Hearing the emotions in the music, he felt something indescribable in his heart. Although he wanted to trick Nana, he still felt distressed when he saw her lost look.
After the song ended, Nana looked up at the time. It was already eight o'clock. She didn't know whether Xiao Chen hadn't come back or had forgotten about her. Thinking of the latter, Nana felt very sad and uncomfortable. She really wanted Xiao Chen to believe her and understand her, instead of being unreasonable and hurting him, but she didn't even have a chance to explain.
Seeing Nana's sad and resentful look, Chen An felt a little embarrassed. After all, all this was caused by him, so he deliberately coughed to remind Nana.
The moment Nana saw Chen An, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Xiao Chen!" she blurted out, her voice full of surprise. She quickly walked around the bar and came to Chen An. Suddenly, she stopped and asked awkwardly, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the ancient city with Hongdou?"
Chen An looked at Nana and said calmly, "I'm back now. I want to drink something. Let's see if the restaurant is closed."
Nana felt a sweet feeling in her heart. He still had her in his heart. The ancient city was so big, there was no place where he couldn't drink. Why did he have to come to a small restaurant?
"What do you want to drink? I'll make it for you now."
"Orange juice, please." Chen An said, glancing at the counter.
Nana was squeezing juice with her back turned, thinking about how to start. Chen An was fiddling with the harmonica on the table. He didn't know how to play it, but it didn't look that difficult.
Soon, a glass of juice was squeezed, and Nana asked, "Do you want some ice?"
"Just the same as before."
Nana placed the juice in front of Chen An: "Try it..."
Chen An drank the juice quietly. Nana rubbed the corner of her apron with her fingers. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Xiao Chen, I'm sorry."
Chen An looked at Nana. There were bloodshot eyes and some dark circles under her eyes, and she didn't look very good.
Nana also stared at Chen An, with countless ways to apologize in her mind, but she always felt that it was inappropriate, so she finally chose the most straightforward way. But Chen An's reaction made her heart sink. Is it going to continue like this just because of a little misunderstanding?
