Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The old man, who was open-minded by nature, did not want to make things difficult for a young man. Moreover, this young man had accompanied his granddaughter here yesterday and today. Even though his granddaughter did not say anything, he understood the ident.i.ty of this young man.
This grandson-in-law… was not bad. In terms of looks, he was worthy of his granddaughter, not to mention his temperament. He was very satisfied with the young man’s steady temperament.
Coupled with the fact that he was similar to his old friend, he had a better impression of him.
Yesterday, Xia Jinyuan had only given Ye Jian courage. Today, he came to visit the old master as his grandson-in-law. The atmosphere was completely different. While he appeared calm, he also revealed the elegance of the Xia family.
He smiled at the old gentleman’s question. “That’s my grandfather. He retired 15 years ago. Now he has nothing to do but plant flowers at home with my grandmother and feed the fish.”
!!
“So, you’re the descendant of General Xia. No wonder you’re very imposing.” The old man nodded slightly. Indeed, he was the descendant of an old friend! Only the descendant of his old friend could be so outstanding!
General Xia was a righteous person. Back then, he was almost unable to return to the s.p.a.ce Academy. It was General Xia who had stepped forward and allowed him to continue staying in the s.p.a.ce Academy. Thinking that the young man in front of him was his old friend’s grandson, the old man was even more satisfied.
The old man, who was smiling even more kindly, said with a smile, “I’m old friends with your grandfather. Back then, he even helped me. I didn’t expect General Xia’s grandson to be the one who’ll marry my granddaughter.”
Xia Jinyuan’s palms were actually sweating. When he heard that the old man was an old acquaintance of his grandfather, the last trace of nervousness in his heart disappeared. When he heard the last sentence, the sweat on his palms gradually disappeared.
Their grandfather was actually an old acquaintance. As expected, he and Little Fox were not from the same family.
Although he knew that the old man was quite satisfied with him, Xia Jinyuan still didn’t dare to be careless. He smiled and said, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have known that the two of you were old friends. Grandpa likes to stay at home now. One day, he’s tending to the flowers and plants. The next day, he’ll carry a hoe to cultivate a small piece of land and plant some fruits and vegetables.
“In the spring, the flowers and gra.s.s in the backyard will bloom. In the summer, green fruits hang on the branches. When the fruits are collected in the autumn, there’ll be extras. Grandpa would send some to his neighbors to share the fruits of his labor.”
Old Master Fu, who loved to listen to these homely things, laughed loudly. His old voice was pure and strong. “General Xia once told me that he would go home to farm after he retired.”
“Gosh, even if he had no way of planting, he still found a way. He even has such bountiful harvests that he has to share the produce with his neighbors. General Xia is quite impressive.”
Xia Jinyuan was the best at pleasing the old man. When Ye Jian and Li Jinnian returned from shopping, he was already in the study with the old man. Ye Jian could hear the old man saying, “Good, good! Good handwriting!”
“He even has the ability to coax old people. I really underestimated him.” Hearing the laughter from the study, Li Jinnian’s cold eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Xia Jinyuan’s ident.i.ty as Q King had been recognized by his grandfather.
Ye Jian took the supplies from him and put them aside. She smiled and said, “Old men find him very likable. In the past, when Grandpa Gen was still around, the old man didn’t agree with him pursuing me. Later on, Grandpa Gen told me that Captain Xia is a good man and he’s worth giving it a try.
“Uncle Chen also tested him and was equally satisfied. He also advised me to discuss things with him more often. He said I shouldn’t make decisions on my own, lest the two of us become estranged.”
