Xu Huaian ate a persimmon and felt that he had regained some strength. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Finally, he controlled his legs again and stood up on the kang.

Although he ran out of strength after standing for less than a minute, it was undoubtedly a huge improvement for him.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing his good mood.

After lying on the kang for more than a year, he can finally stand up again. How great!

Gu Qinghuan didn't know that Xu Huaian was trying hard to stand up in order to meet his elders decently. She was busy in the kitchen.

Wait until it finally gets dark.

Gu Qinghuan then went out with a flashlight to pick someone up from the cowshed in the next village.

It’s not far to walk, just about ten minutes.

In the cowshed, two old men made two bowls of corn and wild vegetable porridge and were about to eat them when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Zhong Weiqian asked.

"Grandpa, it's me!"

"Is Huanhuan here?" Cheng Shuying opened the door impatiently.

"Huanhuan, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong at home?" Cheng Shuying asked worriedly.

"Nothing, my family just bought some meat today, and I want to invite you to come over for a gathering. I've already prepared the food, so let's go now!"

Zhong Weiqian heard this and put down the bowl cheerfully: "Okay, wait for us for a moment, we have to tidy up so as not to be rude."

After saying that, the couple went into a small room separated by boards.

Gu Qinghuan saw the corn and wild vegetable porridge in Zhong Weiqian's hand. The bowl was full of wild vegetables and there was very little cornmeal. She felt very upset.

She knew that the two old people were reluctant to give her better food.

It seemed that she had to find a way to get more food before they would be nicer to her.

There was nothing much for the two of them to pack, except to change into appropriate clothes to avoid being disrespectful.

At their age, they are not obsessed with wearing new clothes to be decent. They still wear their old clothes, which may be washed white, but clean and tidy. This is what they think is decent.

When going out to meet guests, just dress neatly and cleanly.

The three of them soon arrived at a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Zhong Zijun was already at the door to greet them. When she saw them coming, she immediately opened the door: "Mom and Dad, you're here!"

Cheng Shuying saw that her daughter seemed to be doing well these past two days. She felt relieved after seeing that she had become visibly plumper during her illness.

On the day the accident happened, she almost felt like the sky was falling, but now everything is finally clear, except that Huanhuan is suffering...

Dabao and Beibei hid behind Zhong Zijun, poked their heads out and called softly, "Great Grandpa, Great Grandma."

Only then did Cheng Shuying see that there were two little people behind her, and her heart softened.

She smiled and took out two small red pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them over, one to each person.

There wasn't much money in it, only two cents each, but it was all they could take out now.

This is also a courtesy that is ingrained in the bones of the old father and his wife. When they meet the younger generation for the first time, they always give a greeting gift.

Dabao and Beibei knew what this meant. Every Chinese New Year, grandparents would give Dacheng a red envelope, and they could only watch from afar.

They just didn't expect that someone would give them both red envelopes. For a moment, they didn't know how to react and looked at Gu Qinghuan for help.

Gu Qinghuan nodded, indicating that they could accept it. Gifts from elders cannot be refused. She also did not expect that their grandmother would actually give red envelopes to the two children, as they were clearly in such a difficult situation.

But it doesn't matter. She will pay it back a hundred or a thousand times in the future. Just give it to her.

"This is a gift from your great-grandmother. You can accept it. Take it." Cheng Shuying liked children. She half-knelt down and stuffed two red envelopes into the child's hands.

"Thank you, great-grandma, and great-grandpa."

The two of them blushed with excitement. They didn't expect that their mother's family would show them so much kindness.

From grandma to great-grandma and great-grandpa, they were all very kind to them, just like their real relatives, it was so warm.

Zhong Zijun was a little embarrassed. When she came for the first time, she forgot to give the two children gifts. She was just angry at the time.

However, she is short of money now and has to rely on her daughter for life, so she really cannot afford a decent gift. She will make up for it later.

"Okay, let's stop standing at the door and talk. Let's go inside and talk." Gu Qinghuan said.

The group was about to enter the house.

A slender figure appeared at the door.

He walked very slowly, and every step seemed to take up all his strength, but he tried hard to walk towards them.

Gu Qinghuan, Zhong Zijun and the two children who knew the situation were all shocked.

He stood there straight in a daze.

When will he be able to stand up?

This man is really a repressed person. I'm afraid he has been practicing secretly for a long time in order to meet his elders in a decent manner. I don't know how long he has been practicing secretly. I think it must not be easy.

However, she was not mistaken at the time, this guy was incredibly tall, probably over 185cm tall. Because he was too thin, his clothes could not be supported, and he looked like a clothes rod, long and thin.

To be honest, this handsome guy really touched her heart. She could eat two bowls of rice just by looking at him. At this moment, he also has a kind of yandere beauty.

Can't watch it anymore, my mouth is watering.

Gu Qinghuan, wake up. You will go your separate ways sooner or later. Don't be tempted by him!

When Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying first saw Xu Huaian, they also suspected that they were dreaming.

Isn’t it said that my grandson-in-law is a mentally ill person who can’t take care of himself?

This, this, this young man is very handsome, but a little too thin. He has a smile on his face, and he looks in good spirits. He even knows to come out to greet guests.

The two of them felt like they were hit by a pleasant surprise.

I suddenly suspected that I had misunderstood. Could this be a guest invited to my home?

It would be great if my granddaughter married this young man!

Zhong Zijun was secretly smiling in her heart. After spending these past few days together day and night, she had already realized that Xu Huaian had obviously fallen in love with Gu Qinghuan, but Gu Qinghuan, this blockhead, had no reaction at all.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them wear them off slowly!

How can love that has not experienced wind and rain bloom beautiful flowers?

"Dad, you're up, that's great!" The child's reaction was more honest. Beibei jumped up happily.

Gu Qinghuan hurriedly tried to pull him. She knew too well the man's current condition. Even if he was holding on, Beibei's pounce would probably break him.

Be a good person and let him maintain his dignity!

Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying did not expect their wish to come true. This young man turned out to be their granddaughter's son-in-law whom they had never met before. A sincere smile instantly appeared on their faces.

Xu Huaian looked at the old couple. Although he was nervous, he still greeted them seriously: "Grandpa, grandma, due to various reasons, I haven't met you two before. I hope you can forgive me."

"Is that Huai'an? It's okay. If you have difficulty walking, you don't have to come out to pick us up." Cheng Shuying had just noticed that he had difficulty walking.

“My legs are fine, but I haven’t walked for a long time and they are still a little rusty.

Please take a seat inside, elders." Xu Huaian pointed in the direction of the main hall.

Normally they eat on the kang in the east room, but today there are many people at home and elders are coming over, so they can't eat on the kang. They need to entertain the guests properly in the main room, which is more polite.

Zhong Weiqian and Cheng Shuying did not hesitate to walk into the main hall.

Zhong Zijun brought the two little ones over to greet them.

Only Gu Qinghuan and Xu Huaian were left behind.

Seeing that the person had left, Gu Qinghuan nudged Xu Huaian's arm with her arm and said, "You are quite good at showing off. Can you let another person go and let me see?"
