Chapter 407
407 Habit
Feng Zhongliang was still complimenting PEI Yi. Jiang se also understood why Pei Yi had delayed talking to her about the drill.
Such a drill was dangerous. No wonder old master PEI had called him in the mall that day to reprimand him.
Feng Zhongliang said ‘wealth comes from danger’, but she was more concerned about his safety and was a little worried for him.
She was silent. When Xiao Liu came back, he said that mother Wang had already prepared dinner. She washed her hands and wiped the water with a handkerchief. Her movements were serious and careful. In the end, she even took out hand cream from her bag and applied it.
Xia Chaoqun viewed every inch of her body with extreme importance. He would remind her of the details of her daily life over and over again, paying even more attention to it than she did herself. As time passed, it became a habit.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Although she came over at the last minute and the time was short, the Feng family had a special chef who made four dishes and a soup.
Every meal was very exquisite, but the amount was not much. Feng Zhongliang had already had dinner, but he was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so he still asked the servants to set up the bowls and chopsticks and sit with her.
I’m just a little worried. Grandpa, don’t you think this exercise is too dangerous? ”
She picked up her chopsticks and asked. Feng Zhongliang shook his head, ”
there’s nothing easy in life. Just like how I have a few sons who are not successful, but they also want to fight for power in the company. They are afraid of suffering losses.
When he said this, he smiled. Jiang se felt even more upset.
Before she was reborn, Feng Zhongliang would never mention these things to her. After she was reborn, perhaps because of her change in attitude, she felt that her grandfather was not as serious and unapproachable as she thought. On the surface, he was proud and serious, but he was just a lonely old man who was a little afraid of loneliness.
Her eyes were wide open, warm and clear. She did not say a word, but her eyes were a little red.
“Silly child.” Feng Zhongliang looked at her and pursed his lips. He smiled and his eyes softened.
“Ah Yi is not a child. He knows what he’s doing. He should bear the consequences of any decision he makes.”
Perhaps it was Jiang SE’s gaze that touched Feng Zhongliang, but he asked mother Wang to pour him some wine.
There were all kinds of health wine in the house, but the older Feng Zhongliang was, the more restrained he was. He rarely touched the wine in the cup. Today, he was in a rare good mood.
The wine was maroon in color and had a medicinal fragrance. He pointed at the cup and said, ”
the old ginseng here is a Kasaya I personally dug up in the Changbai Mountains.
When he had joined the revolutionary Army in his early years, he had been active in the Changbai Mountains.
that year, not long after I got married, the invading army blew up a railway in Huaji province. They lied and said that they were attacked and attacked Huaji. After that, Huaji fell, and the first gunshot rang out when the Japanese invaded China. The war started immediately.
The young Feng Zhongliang was obliged to join the army, bid farewell to his wife, and rushed to Huaji.
the conditions were tough back then, and there were invaders everywhere. We could only move underground. He spoke with fervour and excitement, his face turning red.
there was one time when we were besieged in the Changbai Mountains. We had no dry food to eat for several days, so we dug up wild vegetables to chew. We didn’t dare to start a fire for fear of being discovered and leaving traces. Under such circumstances, he managed to dig out two stalks of ginseng, but he was reluctant to eat them.
He was probably drunk and the atmosphere was too good, so he blurted out, ”
your grandmother’s health isn’t good, so I’ve always wanted to bring this thing back for her to take a look. I’ve asked the doctor how to treat it and give her some nourishment.
He did not realize what he had just said, but Jiang SE’s heart was pounding when she heard it.
“What happened after that?”
Even though she knew that the past was over, she was still worried for Feng Zhongliang when he mentioned the past.
He smiled and saw the anxiety on Jiang SE’s face. This face was clearly different from Feng Nan’s. They looked different, were of different ages, and had different names. However, for a moment, he felt as if his granddaughter, Feng Nan, was sitting in front of him and listening to him talk about her past.
Feng Zhongliang shook his head and saw that she was holding her chopsticks and not eating the rice in front of her. He could not help but say with a sullen face, ”
“Let’s talk while eating! The dishes are cold.”
She agreed and lowered her head to continue eating, but her eyes were still staring at him. Feng Zhongliang laughed at her look.
“After that, I was lucky and managed to survive.” He hit his legs twice and said, ” I also brought this ginseng back. I wanted to give it to your grandmother, but she couldn’t bear to part with it. In the end, she secretly took this ginseng and made wine for me.
In the past, Feng Zhongliang had never said such things to his juniors. As a result, Jiang se never knew that her grandparents had such a good relationship when they were young.
No wonder Feng Zhongliang had no intention of remarrying even though old lady Feng passed away so early.
There were many big bosses in Hong Kong who married their concubines, but he had never had such an idea at all. He was also a very upright person when doing business, and there had never been any news about him.
Jiang se could not help but feel envious of such a loving couple. Feng Zhongliang did not talk about love and affection like a young man would, but the sincere feelings between a married couple were expressed in his words.
He missed old lady Feng and couldn’t bear to eat the wild ginseng he dug up, so he brought it back from thousands of miles away for her to nourish her body. However, she missed her husband and used the ginseng to make wine for him.
women are all like this. They love to worry for nothing. They’re afraid that I’ll get a chronic illness when I come back from that place injured. “Just like you,” he said with a gentle look in his eyes.
How many years had it been since he had mentioned his dead wife? Little Liu stood in the distance, watching this scene with mixed feelings.
The grandfather-grandson duo chatted and laughed under the light. Feng Zhongliang rarely mentioned this to his grandchildren, but he was willing to tell Jiang se that if she was miss Feng Nan, Feng Zhongliang’s biological granddaughter, how wonderful would that be?
“Right, I’ve been practicing carving stones recently, and I’ve found some of the feelings from my early years.” Feng Zhongliang brought this up with some joy, and he was quite proud of himself.
He had drunk a lot of wine and was already a little tipsy. The wine had been soaked in it for many years and had a strong aftereffect. When he spoke, his tongue was a little loose.
“When you’re free tomorrow, come over and help me think about what to carve on the piece of Tianhuang you gave me.”
“I think it’s better to engrave your name on it.” Jiang se suggested. After dinner, she was drinking the pigeon soup that mother Wang had served her. The soup was extremely nourishing and had been stewed to a high temperature. She had added some medicinal herbs, and when she took a sip, she could feel the sticky soup on her lips.
“Don’t you write and draw sometimes? It’s a good time to carve a seal. Once I’m done, I’ll dip it in ink paste and poke it up.”
“Alright!” Feng Zhongliang slapped his thigh and nodded, ”
“That’s a good idea. What should I write?”
Jiang se tilted her head and thought for a moment.
As she spoke, she even stretched out her hand and gestured Feng Zhongliang’s name on the table.
Feng Zhongliang followed her hand gesture and saw that she was still drawing on the table. When she was in the middle, her posture was not quite right. He reached out and slapped the table,
“It’s wrong! How many times have I told you that the order of the word ‘mouth’ is not like this? since I was young, I have never remembered it!”
In his daze, he mistook Jiang se for Feng Nan.
Feng Nan’s every stroke had been taught by him. She had been obedient since she was young, but there was one thing that she had not changed.
When other people wrote the word ‘mouth’, they would first make a vertical line, then fold it horizontally, and then seal it horizontally. However, Feng Nan’s seal was like a’ 0′, starting from the vertical line, from the bottom to the top, it formed a square mouth.
For this matter, Feng Zhongliang even said that he had taught her a few times. This time, she listened to him and she would do the same again.
Jiang se quickly retracted her hand. When Xiao Liu saw that he was throwing a tantrum, she guessed that he was drunk and quickly went forward to help him up.
There was a cup of ginseng wine on the table, about two taels, but now the cup was empty.
“Master, you’re drunk.”
Xiao Liu quickly helped him up, but he was still shouting, ”
“I’m not drunk. Look at me, I’m drunk. I know what I’m doing.”
Drunk people were irrational, and Feng Zhongliang would never say such words normally. He glared at Xiao Liu and denied what he said. He shook his head repeatedly and said that he was not drunk. He must be drunk from his appearance.
Since Feng Zhongliang was drunk, Jiang se naturally could not stay any longer.
Jiang se helped the Feng family’s servants carry him upstairs, washed up, and lay down. She then got up and left.
Feng Zhongliang only woke up at three or four in the morning.
Cold air was blowing out of the central air conditioner in the room. He was covered with a blanket, and his mouth was dry.
The wine he had drunk that night was good, and his hangover didn’t hurt much. He got up and turned on the lamp. There was a thermos cup on the bedside table, which Xiao Liu must have left for him. It was filled with hot water, knowing that he would drink it when he woke up.
Feng Zhongliang felt that something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something important.
But what was it? He held the cup in one hand and patted his head with the other. He had just woken up and was still in a daze. He could not remember anything clearly.
He only remembered that when Jiang se came yesterday, he was in a rare good mood. For the first time, he even poured her a glass of wine and talked about old and rotten things with her.
When Feng Zhongliang thought of this, he couldn’t help but laugh. He unscrewed the cup and took a sip. He usually had no place to talk about these old things, and his children and grandchildren had no time to listen to his old stories. His sons probably only wanted to know how the shares of Zhongnan industry would be distributed in the future and who would take over Zhongnan industry.
Needless to say, his grandchildren were all very distant. Only Feng Nan was by his side, but he had also become unfamiliar with them in recent years.
Fortunately, he still had an obedient granddaughter, Jiang se. She was not his biological granddaughter, but she was more like his biological granddaughter.
But what important thing had he forgotten? He furrowed his brows in distress. He felt that people’s memories were bad when they got older.
He seemed to have lost his temper at Jiang se. Xiao Liu came to persuade him and even caused a ruckus.
But that child had always been well-behaved, so what had made her so angry? Feng Zhongliang thought about it for a while until his head hurt. He lifted the blanket and wanted to get out of bed. The sound and the light in the room were probably noticed by Xiao Liu. He knocked on the door, and after getting Feng Zhongliang’s permission to come in, he saw that Feng Zhongliang was trying to sit up, so he quickly went to find slippers for him.
“You were drunk last night, why did you get up so early? Let’s lie down for a while more.”
Feng Zhongliang was still thinking about last night’s incident, but he couldn’t remember it. He asked Xiao Liu, ”
“I remember that I lost my temper last night.”
“Yup,” Xiao Liu nodded. you were still talking and laughing with miss Jiang at first, but you suddenly got angry at her and scolded her as if she was miss Feng Nan, saying that her writing is unrepentant, Huahua.
