Spring River Chasing the Moon

"Grandpa, do you know a man named Nanzhou Yue in Nancheng?" Luo Youyou hesitated for a while, but still asked.

Because she had no other way to learn about Nanzhou Yue, her biological grandfather.

My grandfather is from South City, so he should have heard of it at least a little bit.

Chen Ze was surprised to hear this name from his granddaughter's mouth.

"How do you know him?" Chen Ze asked Luo Youyou in surprise.

Luo Youyou always felt a little flustered when telling a lie. He lowered his head and scratched his hands unconsciously, then said slowly: "I overheard grandma talking about it. Grandma said she had seen him before and said he seemed very powerful, so I wanted to ask him."

"I'm just a little curious, what does grandma say powerful people look like?"

After hearing what Luo Youyou said, Chen Ze understood. It might be that Yang Qian had seen it somewhere and mentioned it.

"Nanzhou Yue is a good person. I think everyone in Nancheng has heard of his name. Grandpa knows him, but he doesn't have much contact with him. However, his eldest daughter studied calligraphy with your grandmother for a few years and later was admitted to Nancheng University, so he knows him a little bit."

"Your grandmother has met Nanzhou Yue's wife several times. They seem to have similar interests and used to make plans to meet when they were still in Nancheng."

After Chen Ze finished speaking, he didn't notice that Luo Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So grandma and grandma know each other, that's great."

"After that, I went to Nancheng. At least I wouldn't be like a headless fly, blindly looking for the Nan family. Besides, if a strange little girl came to the door and said I was your granddaughter, I guess they would kick her out."

Luo Youyou thought silently.

At night, when darkness fell, Chen Ze took Luo Youyou's hand and brought her back to Luo's house.

Originally, Li Muzhi was reluctant to let her go and wanted to keep her overnight, but Luo Youyou suggested that they go back and pack up their clothes and toys in advance so that when their parents came back, they could come directly after discussing it.

Chen Ze and Li Muzhi felt that the child had really grown up. They were relieved but also heartbroken. They could only stay with her. Chen Ze was still worried, so he personally sent Luo Youyou back.

Li Muzhi also prepared a lot of food for Luo Youyou, fearing that his granddaughter would not eat well at home these days. After arriving at the place, Chen Ze looked at Yang Qian with a heavy look.

Yang Qian was collecting clothes in the yard, muttering, "This damn girl hasn't come back yet so late. Wait until I get home and see how I'll deal with her."

Before she could finish her words, Yang Qian inexplicably felt a chill on her back. She turned around and unexpectedly saw Chen Ze holding Luo Youyou's hand and standing in the yard, staring at her with a serious face. Yang Qian felt a little guilty.

I was already afraid of Chen Ze. This old man was famous for his strange temper. Every time I saw him, I couldn't help but feel guilty and always felt inferior in front of him.

Yang Qian was very angry inside, but she didn't dare to say anything because of Chen Ze's temper.

Although he has retired, Chen Ze has been teaching for so many years and has many students all over the world. Every year, many students come to Haicheng to visit Chen Ze, all of whom are well-known figures, not to mention how many people are eager to get his paintings.

Yang Qian silently "spitted" in her heart and tried hard to smile.

"Hey, why did my father-in-law have time to come here today?"

Yang Qian didn't like the Chen family, but she still put down her clothes, rubbed her hands on the edge of her apron, and looked enthusiastic, inviting people into the house to sit for a while.

Chen ignored her and directly pulled Luo Youyou into the house.

Yang Qian was stunned for a moment, then followed him in with some embarrassment.

"Youyou, why are you going home with grandpa? Didn't you go to look for Xiaomei?"

Yang Qian's tone was filled with doubt and dissatisfaction. She muttered to herself, "What's wrong with this girl? I always tell her not to get too close to her grandfather, but what's wrong with her today? She's holding my hand and won't let go!"

"I..." Luo Youyou blushed and nodded timidly, not saying a word. In the eyes of others, she was speechless because of what Yang Qian said.

In fact, Luo Youyou was lowering her head, and her eyes were rolling around when no one was looking.

"Humph, who can't show weakness and pretend to be good?"

As expected, Chen Ze spoke, his voice as cold as ever, "Youyou is our granddaughter. Why? Can't we meet?"

Yang Qian didn't dare to say much and smiled awkwardly.

"How could that be? My father-in-law is such a joker."

"These are prepared by Youyou's grandmother, specially for Youyou's health. You can make some more delicious food for You these few days while they are fresh."

As he said this, he put the basket in his hand on the table. There were pork, eggs, and a few fresh crucian carp in it.

Yang Qian didn't think much about it and just thought that her parents-in-law felt sorry for the child.

But she was thinking about how to leave these to Luo Youyou's cousin, Luo Xin.

Chen Ze saw what she was thinking, but didn't point it out.

He just squatted down and said to Luo Youyou, "Dad and Mom will be home this weekend. Go to Grandpa's house and tell your grandma what delicious food she made for you these past two days. Remember it?"

"Remember, grandpa." Luo Youyou nodded obediently.

Yang Qian didn't expect Chen Ze to instruct the child like this, and her face froze.

Looking at Chen Ze, he felt a little embarrassed. "Her grandfather, what do you mean by this? Can I still be greedy for such a small thing?"

At this time, the neighbor, Grandma Xiaomei, heard the noise and walked into the yard. "Hey, why is it so lively today? Are there guests?"

After saying that, he walked closer and saw Chen Ze, "Isn't this her grandfather? What brings you here today?"

Chen Ze saw the person coming and greeted him.

Luo Youyou also called out obediently, "Hello, Grandma Xiaomei."

"Hey, why haven't you come to see my Xiaomei these days? Are you sick? Why do you seem to have lost some weight recently?"

Grandma Xiaomei usually takes good care of Luo Youyou. In addition, Luo Youyou is about the same age as her granddaughter, and they play together every day. She treats this well-behaved child as her own granddaughter.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, Yang Qian felt even more guilty.

Chen Ze didn't want to say anything more, but finally said, "My daughter has a child like this. If you can't take care of him, then we will take care of him. We will never let the child go hungry."

After saying this, he didn't give Yang Qian any time to react.

He said to Youyou, "Grandpa is going home first. Remember to eat well. Grandpa will pick you up on the weekend." He nodded goodbye to Grandma Xiaomei and left.

Even a fool could tell that the atmosphere was not right. Grandma Xiaomei came to her senses and figured out what was going on. She was afraid that Yang Qian was not paying attention to Youyou.

"What a sin..." Grandma Xiaomei stared at Yang Qian with a strange look for a while, then turned around and left.

Only Luo Youyou and Yang Qian were left in the room. Yang Qian seemed very angry. She had never been so embarrassed before. Then she thought of Xiaomei's grandmother who was a loud speaker. She was afraid that what had just happened would spread throughout the village before tonight.

She didn't have time to ask Luo Youyou what was going on, so she quickly followed Grandma Xiaomei into the yard.
