203 What Good Things Can You Buy?
“Have you eaten?”
Ye Baoguo’s old face drooped as he looked at his grandson.
“Not yet,” Ye Feng quickly replied.
“What’s wrong? So poor that you can’t even afford to eat? I think you’ve wasted your time studying books,” Ye Baoguo said with a straight face and turned to leave.
From afar, he could hear him humming a little tune. “I heard from the commander that A-Qing’s wife is really unusual…”
Ma Xianglan quickly held her grandson’s hand. “Don’t bother with that stubborn old man. Come, let Grandma take a good look.”
As she spoke, she carefully examined her grandson.
After a long while, her face suddenly revealed a shocked expression.
“Sister Huang, have you noticed that Xiao Feng seems to have changed a lot? But I can’t specifically say where has changed.”
Grandma Huang nodded quickly. “I noticed it when Xiao Feng came in. He does look more energetic than before. It’s called… n.o.ble temperament, right?”
Ma Xianglan burst into laughter. “n.o.ble temperament? How can a n.o.ble come from a family like ours?”
Although she said that, she did realize that her grandson seemed to have a special temperament.
In the past, he had an inferiority complex, and when he spoke to others, he always avoided eye contact.
But now, he exuded a strong self-confidence.
It was to the extent that his entire temperament had undergone a tremendous change.
Just as the two of them were amazed, Ye Baoguo came back with pork and vegetables.
Ma Xianglan quickly pulled her husband over. “Old Ye, look at our grandson’s temperament. Didn’t he change a lot?”
Ye Baoguo glanced at Ye Feng and said coldly, “What kind of temperament does he have? He just went to the city for two days and he became a city person? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?”
After that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly and quickly followed him in. “Grandpa, let me help you.”
Ye Baoguo immediately chased him out. “It’s smoky here, and you’re dressed like an insurance agent. What are you doing here? Did you borrow these clothes from someone? Don’t let others dirty it.”
Ye Feng smiled helplessly.
He had no choice but to come out and chat with Grandma for a while.
Soon, a fragrant smell came from the kitchen.
Ma Xianglan held back her laughter. “Ever since we got married, I’ve only seen this old man cook a few times. Today, I’m really lucky to have you.”
Ye Feng also quickly nodded.
In his memory, his grandfather had never cooked before.
It could be seen from this that although he had not been kind to him today, he was actually happy in his heart.
Soon, Ye Baoguo came out with a few dishes.
He then took out a bottle of Maotai that he had kept for many years from the cabinet.
Ma Xianglan was a little unhappy when she saw that. “The doctor said that your blood pressure is a little high, so he doesn’t want you to drink.”
Ye Baoguo glared at her. “Doctors are nothing. I’ve been to the gates of h*ll several times on the battlefield and I’ve never been afraid of anyone, so why would I be afraid of blood pressure?”
Ma Xianglan pouted. “Aren’t you just a cook? How many years have you been bragging about it?”
Ye Baoguo immediately became anxious. “Are cookhouse soldiers not soldiers? I even killed a few enemies with my kitchen knife.”
Ye Feng saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, and he quickly separated them.
Ma Xianglan pulled Grandma Huang to sit on the other side and explained to him.
“Your Grandma Huang’s son and grandson are both out of town. She’s the only one at home, and she usually eats with us.”
Grandma Huang’s expression was a little unnatural. “They… It’s normal for young people to be busy with work.”
Ma Xianglan was a little angry when she heard her. “Busy with what? No matter how busy they are, he didn’t even want his own mother anymore? How long has it been since he last came to see you?”
Grandma Huang immediately became anxious. “Nonsense, they… He would even come back during the New Year. My grandson even bought me a bracelet that cost a few hundred.”
As she spoke, she did not forget to show off the bracelet on her wrist.
During this period of time, Ye Feng had also come into contact with many jade artifacts.
At least, he had some ability to distinguish.
It could be seen that the texture and workmanship of the bracelet were relatively rough.
It should be a low-end product that cost about 180 yuan.
However, Ma Xianglan was a little envious and subconsciously hid her wrist in her sleeve.
Ye Feng noticed this and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
In order to pay for his school fees, his grandmother had sold a jade bangle that had been pa.s.sed down from her ancestors.
Ye Feng even saw her crying secretly.
This incident had dealt a huge blow to him.
Every time he thought about it, his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
Fortunately, he now had enough ability to repay the two elders.
At the thought of this, he hurriedly took his bag. “Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve also bought you gifts this time. I just don’t know if you’ll like them.”
Ye Baoguo slammed the wine gla.s.s on the table. “Why are you wasting money? You’re still in school. Why don’t you focus on your studies instead of doing these useless things every day?”
Even though he said that, his eyes were curiously staring at his bag. He was obviously looking forward to it.
Seeing this, Ye Feng purposely dawdled and refused to take it out.
Ye Baoguo was an impatient man and was immediately furious. “What is this? Why don’t you just take it out?”
Seeing that he was about to flip out, Ye Feng did not dare to keep him in suspense anymore, and he quickly took out the Rolex box.
Ye Baoguo s.n.a.t.c.hed it and violently opened the beautiful gift box.
“What’s this? Why is it wrapped so tightly? Do you think it’s a gold ingot?”
“This is much better than gold ingots. You’ll definitely like it.”
“Pfft, what good stuff can you buy?” Ye Baoguo retorted without mercy.
At the same time, he opened the box.
When he saw the watch inside, his eyes widened.
“This… This is…”
