Chapter 1083: [Bonus chapter] A Good Day

After the greeting session at the door, Hyson returned to stay with Grandfather Xiang. Grandfather Zhai and Grandmother Zhai came to greet Grandfather Xiang.         

    

“Old Xiang, you’re really fortunate,” said Grandfather Zhai heartily. “Your granddaughter is getting engaged. If Old Shui was alive, he’d actually be over the moon to know how your two families are being connected.”     

“Yes, I’m very fortunate,” replied Grandfather Xiang as if he didn’t notice the subtle hint in his old friend’s words.     

“Old fox, you really want me to spell it out for you?”      

Grandfather Xiang laughed at that, “I’m a straightforward person and so is everyone in my family. It’s you scholars who love to talk in circles. We military people just get to the point. So, I can’t understand your hints at all.”     

Grandfather Zhai gave his old friend a disgruntled look.     

Grandmother Zhai held back her husband as she took the lead, “Brother Xiang, you’re also a friend of Old Zhai. I believe the relationship between you two is even longer and stronger than Old Shui who is no more. Then why don’t you think about making our families’ bond stronger?” She took a look at Grandfather Xiang’s face before continuing, “I believe you have the same intention. Besides, I heard that both the children really like each other. We should strengthen their relationship by making it official. Don’t you think so?”     𝐎𝑣𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

Grandfather Xiang sighed, “Sister, it’s you so I’ll be honest with you. I have no issue as long as the kids are happy. Why would an old soul whose one leg is already in the grave even interfere in their matters? Raelle is an exception in my life and I can rightfully interfere in her matters. But the same is not true for others. As long as Wai brings this matter to me, I have no problem at all.”     

“Opa, don’t talk nonsense!” came Hyson’s unhappy voice from behind Grandfather Xiang. He didn’t want to interfere. Besides, he had nothing to talk about between these old people. So, he kept his distance and sat aside obediently. Who knew he’d hear Grandfather Xiang talking about having his one leg in the grave? He couldn’t help chiming in. “Today is a special day. Do you have to talk about unlucky things? How can you talk about dying? That’s not accepted!”     

Grandfather Xiang was helpless and nodded, “Okay, okay. It’s my mistake. I won’t repeat anything regarding this.”     

“I’m watching you,” was Hyson’s response and he even made the hand gesture to emphasize how he was keeping his eyes on this old man.     

Grandfather Xiang smiled softly and Hyson went back to sit where he had been sitting before. He actually was keeping an eye on the situation here as well. Originally he thought Zhai Kuijun would have told his parents about him but it seemed that he hadn’t. This made Hyson actually relax. He didn’t want to deal with old people. Because it was difficult for him to be stubborn or rude to old people.     

So, the best option was to avoid them.     

On the other hand, Grandmother Zhai was happy and relaxed to hear that from Grandfather Xiang and asked, “Then why don’t you talk to Wai? Today is a good day to make an announcement.”     

“What’s the hurry?” asked Grandfather Xiang. “This is Raelle’s day. No one can take her limelight. We’ll talk about it after Raelle’s wedding.”     

“Huh? We still have to wait for the wedding?” asked Grandmother Zhai. “Can’t we start talking about it earlier? At least, they can get engaged right after Raelle, no? This would have no conflict with each other. And who knows they might decide to get married on the same day.”     

“Sister-in-law, don’t dream big,” said Grandfather Xiang. “I might have not raised Wai, but I still know her. She’d never agree to get married on the same day as Raelle. After all, she only has one sister, how will she enjoy her wedding if she became the bride on the same day?”     

“You’re making excuses, old fox,” said Grandfather Zhai. “Why don’t you first ask her?”     

“Why don’t you go ask your grandson first?” retorted Grandfather Xiang. “Who knows if he wants to come over to our family to ask for Wai’s hands? What if he ditched her as he did with Raelle?”     

Behind him, Hyson covered his mouth and laughed when he heard that. Indeed, Opa also held grudges for years to come. He had to bring that up at this moment. It was so funny to listen to these old people’s conversations. He was quite entertained. He didn’t feel the need to go and socialize with people at all.     

“Then what do you suggest?” asked Grandmother Zhai as she couldn’t push this matter. She also knew that deep down Grandfather Xiang was still upset with Zhai Yanjun. So, even though he liked Zhai Yanjun, he definitely was careful when the matter came to his own granddaughter.     

He could be careless with his grandson’s matters but he was especially careful when it came to his precious granddaughters.      

“I say, we should wait,” said Grandfather Xiang. “Don’t rush things. The relationship between the kids is on track and seems to be getting stronger. So, we should give them time to cultivate more feelings. We shouldn’t interfere. It’s not like our times. Besides, do I have to remind you two that even in our times, you both created a whole lot of fuss to get married to each other?”     

Grandfather Zhai and Grandmother Zhai avoided his eyes when he brought up that old matter. How embarrassing it was to talk about it at this age.     

“You both were quite dissatisfied with your parents for rushing you to marry. Why are you doing this to your own grandson? When he feels like it’s the right time, he’ll come to you and talk about his marriage. We’ll discuss it then.”     

“But…”         

    

Grandfather Xiang didn’t let Grandmother Zhai speak as he added, “Also, Wai and Yanjun are gonna have the first dance tonight since Raelle can’t dance. So, seeing them dancing together, everyone will already know that they are official and have their families’ blessings. Why are you both getting so impatient with age? Stop bothering me now.”
