Chapter 47: It's really big, round, smooth and round
"Hahaha……"
Lin Guodong touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
Usually when Zhao Qiuhong talked to him, he would still say a few words back.
But this time it was Grandma Lin who spoke up herself, so he could only chuckle twice and try to get away with it.
At the same time, he silently complained in his heart why his own father failed at this time and had to take the blame.
"Grandpa is really something."
Hearing this, Lin Han couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Before Meng Yan came back, she carefully selected gifts for you and grandpa, and I was thinking of taking them out right now."
"What? My good granddaughter-in-law prepared a gift for me? I want to see it. The old man can open his own gift. I want to open mine."
When she heard that Jiang Mengyan had also prepared a gift for her, Grandma Lin immediately looked at Lin Han with shining eyes.
"Okay, then I'll give you your share first."
Lin Han walked forward with a smile and handed one of the beautifully wrapped gift boxes in his hand to Grandma Lin.
When she saw the gift box, Grandma Lin's eyes lit up.
On weekdays, her sons and daughters-in-law would bring her some things when they came back, usually some supplements, milk, fruit and the like.
Although they were all good things, they did not touch Grandma Lin's heart.
"Grandma, these are some small gifts I prepared for you. They are not expensive, but they are all carefully selected by me."
After Grandma Lin opened the box, Jiang Mengyan introduced each item one by one:
"Winter is coming soon, and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I picked out a cashmere sweater and scarf for you, with patterns hand-embroidered on them.
This bottle is moisturizing lanolin. Lin Han said that your hands and feet are prone to dryness and cracking in autumn and winter. Apply this after soaking your hands and feet every night. Your skin will be very moisturized and it is very helpful for chapped hands and feet.
And this is a heatable salt bag for hot compress.
Lin Han mentioned to me before that your waist and legs are prone to pain when it's cold. This can be used after plugging in the electric heater for a while. I have used it myself and it is very effective in relieving waist and leg pain, so I bought a new one for you."
As Jiang Mengyan said, these things are not that valuable.
In terms of value alone, it is definitely not as good as the gold hairpin that Grandma Lin gave her.
But each of these things was carefully selected by her.
Her wrinkled hands gently stroked the contents of the gift box, and Grandma Lin smiled until her eyes narrowed:
“Okay, my good wife really knows how to buy things, all of which I like!
I'm going to go back now and put on the new clothes my granddaughter-in-law bought for me, so you can all see how good her taste is!"
As she spoke, she stood up and reminded Lin Han:
"Take Guaiguai back to the room to rest for a while. She is pregnant, so she needs to rest more. You can come out for a walk later."
……
"Lin Han, grandma is so cute. She doesn't have the aura and airs of other elders. She is very approachable. I like her so much."
Jiang Mengyan had just returned to the room with Lin Han. She sat in front of the dressing mirror and looked at the beautiful bun that Grandma Lin had just combed for her, and sighed.
"In this respect, grandma is indeed different from other elderly people.
She is very open to new things and has a young mindset. She never thinks of herself as a dying old person.
Whenever she feels bored staying at home, she will take the initiative to ask my mother or other aunts and cousins to take her to the city for a stroll.
She has always adhered to the principle of taking care of herself and not meddling in the affairs of her juniors.
Except for my grandfather, she rarely asked my uncles, aunts, and my aunt and uncle to do anything.
Grandma is naturally happy when they come back to accompany her. If they don’t come back, she will have something to do by herself.”
Lin Han smiled. "I was wondering why Sister Qiu and Brother Lin are so approachable and open-minded. It turns out that it all started with your grandmother."
Jiang Mengyan sighed with emotion: "This kind of family atmosphere is really good... When I went back to my grandma's house when I was a child, I was not welcomed by my grandparents because I was a girl.
They always have high expectations of me and always look down on me, so much so that I always feel uneasy when facing such elders. ”
She sighed softly: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but when Sister Qiu first told me that she wanted to bring me back to celebrate your grandmother's birthday, I actually prepared myself for a long time, for fear that she would be dissatisfied with me..."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
Lin Han was slightly startled, and stepped forward to hold Jiang Mengyan's shoulders, with a tone of heartache and a rare bit of blame:
"You were so upset and didn't even tell me. If I had told you earlier that grandma was like this, you wouldn't have to worry."
"I... I'm not used to having you by my side to help me share these emotions..."
"Then you have to learn to get used to it. From now on, we will spend our lives together, so of course you have to get used to my presence."
Lin Han smiled, picked a red and round hawthorn from the fruit basket on the table, and handed it to Jiang Mengyan:
"Try it? Haven't you been saying these days that you want to eat something sour? The hawthorns here at grandma's house are all grown by themselves, and they taste really good."
"Ok!"
Jiang Mengyan had already seen the plate of fruit.
After her morning sickness eased in the past few days, she seemed to have entered the period of good appetite for pregnant women.
I want to taste everything I see.
The hawthorn that Lin Han handed over was big, round, smooth and mellow, and it was obvious that it had been carefully selected.
She took it and took a light bite, and the rich fruity aroma and sour and sweet taste instantly filled her entire mouth.
"!!"
She widened her eyes in surprise, finished the hawthorn in her hand in a few bites, and reached out to touch two more.
While eating, he asked vaguely:
"This hawthorn is really different from the ones bought in the market. The fruity aroma is much stronger and the seeds are also very small. It's true that the ones grown at home are different. They are delicious."
"Like this?"
"like!"
Jiang Mengyan nodded vigorously and looked at Lin Han expectantly: "When we return after celebrating grandma's birthday, can we bring some of this back?"
"What's wrong with that? If you like, we can go pick it now."
Lin Han sneered.
"Is that okay? Let's go now?"
Jiang Mengyan held a hawthorn in her hand, looking eager to try.
"You've been on the bus for such a long time, aren't you tired? Do you want to rest for a while before going out for a walk?"
"Not tired."
She shook her head. "I feel really good now that I'm no longer nauseous from the car ride. Let's go pick hawthorns!"
"Okay, okay, let's go pick hawthorns."
Leading Jiang Mengyan downstairs, Lin Han happened to see Grandma Lin putting on the new cashmere sweater that Jiang Mengyan bought for her and also wrapped her scarf around it.
Jiang Mengyan has a good sense of fashion. The cashmere sweater she chose is a solid-colored base with hand-embroidered plum blossoms on it.
The pattern is simple and elegant, and is also suitable for an elderly person of Grandma Lin's age.
Looking at the smiling face of Grandma Lin, you can tell that she is very satisfied with this dress.
