"Thank you, Xiaoran. I'll ask my baby to come over and thank you personally tomorrow." Zhang Qiong thanked you gratefully and hurriedly returned to the kitchen.

After watching Zhang Qiong return to the kitchen, Grandma Jiang curled her lips unhappily. She didn't mean that Jiang Ran shouldn't give it, but she just thought there was no need to give such expensive and good things.

But my granddaughter is happy. The most important thing is that Jiang Ran brought everything back. Since she didn't spend any money and still enjoyed the benefits that this gift brought to her, she can't say anything, she can only feel sad. Choose Accept.

Grandma Jiang, who didn't want to think about this matter anymore, took a deep breath, took the bag from Jiang Ran's hand and put it down on the sofa, and said to her, "The food will be ready soon, Xiaoran, if you are hungry, , sit down and eat a little to cushion your stomach first."

"I know, grandma."

After talking to Jiang Ran for a while, Grandma Jiang saw Dong Dong who was still standing outside the door waiting for Jiang Ran to change her shoes. She greeted her enthusiastically, "Dong Dong, you are here too?! Why are you standing outside the door? Ah, come in quickly and sit down wherever you want."

"Hey, thank you Aunt Mei." Dongdong said in a crisp voice with a slight smile on his face.

After Jiang Ran changed her shoes and walked away to make room by the door, Dongdong came in and sat on a low stool to untie her shoelaces. Seeing this, Grandma Jiang quickly stopped her and said, "No, no, no, no need to change shoes, it's okay if they get dirty. Just clean it up later.”

"Okay." Although Dongdong said yes, he still took the disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on. Then he helped Jiang Hongmei pack up the gifts and then went to the kitchen, washing her hands. While asking, "Aunt Zhang, if you need any help, I'll help you."

"No, dong dong, just go outside and wait for a while. The kitchen is full of fumes, which is not good for the skin of you little girls. Just let me come here. There are only two dishes left. It will be ready soon."

Dongdong couldn't help, so he rolled his eyes and found another job for himself, "Then let me take the bowl out."

"That's okay. The bowls and chopsticks are on the table. I've just cleaned them. You can just take them out and use them." Zhang Qiong said as he put the two hot dishes that had just been cooked on the plate, one piece at a time. The children brought it out and put it on the dining table. At that time, Jiang Ran and Grandma Jiang were sitting on the chairs beside the dining table, chatting about homely matters!

"Aunt Zhang and I saw you on TV last night! My daughter is so handsome on TV. With all the people in the room, grandma saw you at a glance." Grandma Jiang took Jiang Ran's hand and said, She would rub her from time to time, and she would smile so hard that her teeth could not be seen, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes would wrinkle up, making her look like a kind old lady.

In fact, Grandma Jiang is not particularly old this year, only 56 years old. When Jiang Ran was first adopted, she was only 37 years old, and little Jiang Ran was less than one year old at that time.

To be honest, at the age of 37, there are many elderly mothers who choose to give birth to become mothers, but Jiang Hongmei feels that if this fair and tender little girl calls her mother, she will be almost 45 years old when she goes to elementary school. Some people who got married early were from the grandma generation. They didn't want Jiang Ran to be looked down upon for having such an old mother, so they simply asked her to call her grandma. She had been called grandma for almost twenty years.

And at her current age, if a woman takes better care of herself from a young age, or is more pampered, does less work, and is less irritated, she will look similar to someone in her thirties. She will never look old like today's Grandma Jiang, with a face full of wrinkles, thinness and haggardness. A person in her fifties looks the same as an old man in her sixties.

Jiang Ran knew that ordinary ordinary people like this were reluctant to spend money to take care of themselves. Let alone maintenance, they even didn't know how to buy skin care products. In winter, buying "Chunjuan Baby Cream" and applying it would be considered exquisite. . And for a few taels of silver, they work hard in the sun, rain and frost every day, haggle over prices in the vegetable market just to spend a few dollars less, worry about their livelihood, and just live by the money. It will be more vicissitudes of life.

Grandma Jiang also became a little more relaxed after Jiang Ran made money independently. Last year, when Jiang Ran debuted in a group and became an idol, and it became a little easier to make money, she really felt relieved. At Jiang Ran's strong request, she stopped going out to work. I eat and drink every day, and go out for a walk if I have nothing to do. My life is so light and leisurely.

People around her say that Jiang Hongmei is a lucky person. She is so promising even after picking up a child and raising a child. She is beautiful and sensible. Now she is waiting to enjoy the blessing!

Every time Jiang Hongmei heard such remarks, she would beam with joy. She would hold her head high and chest out, and she would praise Jiang Ran again and again, which would make the neighbors envious and jealous. After returning home, she would look at her own house The child paused and said, "Look at how capable other people's children are. How about you! You just stay at home and play games every day. Can games save your life?!"

Grandma Jiang is now Jiang Ran's true fan. In addition to not following her offline, she will not miss any of Jiang Ran's interviews, variety shows, stages, live broadcasts, and Reuters. As long as she can find it, she will do it all. Watch it again. If there is no new content, she will watch the programs Jiang Ran has participated in over and over again, just to learn more about her granddaughter.

Zhang Qiong, who brought hot dishes from the kitchen, happened to hear what Grandma Jiang said, and followed the conversation and smiled at Jiang Ran, "No, ever since I found out that you were going to attend the New Year's Eve party at Lime Terrace, your Grandma Jiang has Keep up with the neighbors in the neighborhood up and down, left and right, and the neighbors in the neighborhood next door. Let them lock on to this satellite TV and see you! Hehe..."

"You're the only one who talks too much!" Grandma Jiang was a little embarrassed and got angry. She glanced at Zhang Qiong, then turned to Jiang Ran and explained dryly, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I just met her when I was out for a walk." An acquaintance, I just said a few more words."

Jiang Ran suppressed a smile and nodded, "Huh."

Looking at the smile on Jiang Ran's face, Grandma Jiang knew that she didn't believe her explanation. She coughed slightly in embarrassment, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey...Xiao Ran, how long can you stay here this time?" ah?"

Jiang Ran took a sip of water, put the cup down and replied, "I have to leave tomorrow."

"Just stay for one day..." Grandma Jiang was obviously a little disappointed when she heard this. She couldn't help but feel depressed, but soon she smiled again and looked at Jiang Ran distressedly and said, "Tell me about you. It's not easy for your company to give you If you have a day off, just stay in your dormitory and have a good rest. Running back and forth like this is too much for your body!"

"It's okay. It's okay if you get used to it. You can also rest on the high-speed train."

Jiang Ran knew that this was indeed Grandma Jiang's true thoughts, but she would definitely be the happiest one when he could come back to see her. After all, parents will always be so "duplicitous".

For example, when she said she would buy a massage chair for her before, Grandma Jiang scolded her for spending money indiscriminately, saying she couldn't use it and didn't need it, so she didn't buy it. As a result, after waiting for several days and not receiving the goods, she was still talking at home about why the massage chair hadn't arrived yet. She couldn't save the dignity to ask her, so Aunt Zhang secretly reported it to her, so she ordered it again. I placed the order and told her via video that the express delivery was delayed and it would take a few days to receive it. The person still made a stiff face in front of her and said she didn’t need to buy it, she didn’t need to buy it...

To be honest, Jiang Ran doesn't have much dependence or intimacy with Grandma Jiang. No matter how much she wants to express her intimacy, she can't achieve the kind of affectionate attachment that true grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other. She can only Treat her like a relative's grandma.

Of course, she will do her best to make her live a better life, with no worries about food and clothing, and something to support her in old age, but that's all.

I don’t know if it’s because the original owner Jiang Ran went out to work after junior high school, or because Jiang Hongmei trusts her body too much. When she came back, Jiang Hongmei didn’t show much suspicion or strangeness towards her. At most, she sometimes felt Her personality has changed somewhat from before.

Jiang Ran let Grandma Jiang rub the back of her hand, glanced at the living room where a large table was filled with dishes, and then glanced at Dongdong and Aunt Zhang who were still busy in the kitchen. She stretched her neck towards the kitchen and raised her hand. She yelled in a loud voice, "Enough, enough! Aunt Zhang, please stop doing it. There is no need to cook any more dishes. There is too much to eat and it will be wasted!"

"There are not many dishes left. There is only a cup of stewed partridge with asparagus and dangshen and eight-treasure winter melon. They will be ready soon. These are nutritious things. You can try some later to see which one suits your taste. , let’s do this from now on.”

Grandma Jiang held Jiang Ran's hand to stop her from going to the kitchen. She changed the topic and said, "By the way, didn't you say that the preserved eggs were delicious last time? I made some more. When you leave tomorrow, Let’s take them away together. If you finish eating, let me know and I’ll send you some more.”

"Don't you mind that the express delivery fee is expensive now?" Jiang Ran deliberately teased.

Grandma Jiang made a sound, and said in a very generous manner, "Money is not just for spending, you still have to spend it. I'll send you something to eat, it's worth it!"

This word "value" seemed to fall on Jiang Ran's heart. Her heartbeat slowed down unconsciously. She suddenly felt the urge to cry. She blinked her eyes and resisted it. She curved her lips and pulled a smile. "Thank you grandma."

"Why are you so grateful? Why are you so polite?" Grandma Jiang patted the back of Jiang Ran's hand unhappily. Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Zhang Qiong and Dongdong alone. After bringing out a cup of soup, he quickly stood up and moved the dishes on the dining table so that the two of them could put the soup down. "Okay, let's eat!"
