Chapter 578 Family Reunion (4)
"Okay." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, jumped off the bed, stepped on cotton slippers and walked out.
Outside, Grandpa Shu was lying on a recliner with a thick quilt, with a bamboo basket in front of him.
The stove was woven with bamboo outside, with a large porcelain bowl inside, which could hold some charcoal fire. The bamboo basket could also be woven large or small according to needs. The one in front of Grandpa Shu was the largest one in the house, which could be used to roast several people, with old bedding on top.
Ruan Jiaojiao came out of the house, and didn't rush to wash her face and brush her teeth, but ran to Grandpa Shu to act cute: "Grandpa, did you sleep well last night? Did you sleep warmly?" As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand to touch the hand he placed in front of her, and nodded when she felt warm: "Well, it's very warm, Grandpa is not cold."
Seeing the little guy's actions, Grandpa Shu's heart was really warm.
In front of Shu Jie and his two siblings, he was not a loving father, but a very strict father. The three siblings respected him but were not close enough to him. They would never act like a spoiled child with him, let alone touch him and say that he was not cold.
At this moment, his heart was so warm that he touched the little guy's head lovingly: "Go wash up."
"Yes." Ruan Jiaojiao went to wash her face and brush her teeth. When brushing her teeth, Xu Xu had already mixed warm water for her, which would neither freeze her teeth nor be too hot.
Ruan Jiaojiao squatted on the steps in front of the door to brush her teeth.
Xu Xu had already helped her with breakfast, and put it on the chair as before, and then moved a small stool behind the chair, so that Ruan Jiaojiao could eat it as soon as she washed her face.
The way Xu Xu and Ruan Jiaojiao got along with each other had become a habit. No one in the Ruan family was surprised, but it was the first time that Old Man Shu saw it, and he looked at it with a little curiosity.
Especially Xu Xu, who looked at her from top to bottom without missing anything.
Xu Xu could naturally feel his scrutiny, but he just didn't care.
At around nine in the morning, Ruan Jianguo rushed back from the city, and the rain outside stopped. He bought some vegetables. There were a lot of game at home, but thinking that the old man couldn't eat too much now, he bought a sea bass.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the conversation last night, and greeted the old man with a simple smile.
Old Man Shu glanced at him, thought of something, coughed, and asked: "Is there a photo studio in your town?"
"Yes, Dad, do you want to take Jiaojiao to take pictures?" Ruan Jianguo asked.
Mr. Shu nodded reservedly: "Group photo, take more photos."
Ruan Jiaojiao, who was eating breakfast, blinked silently. Ever since she learned from her mother that Mr. Shu did not take photos, and the photos he took were all posthumous photos, she always felt a little strange about taking photos with him...
After Ruan Jiaojiao finished breakfast, Ruan Jianguo took her and Mr. Shu to the town, and of course Xu Xu also went with them.
It was impossible to take a hundred photos. There was no shortage of money, but Mr. Shu was physically unable to bear it.
When taking the last photo, Mr. Shu suddenly pointed at the two people watching nearby: "You, come here, take a photo together."
"Me?" Ruan Jianguo pointed at himself, so happy that he took a step forward and was ready to go up, thinking that the old man was just like what his wife said, hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he saw Mr. Shu shaking his head and said, "It's not you, I'm talking about him." The direction he pointed at was Xu Xu.
Ruan Jianguo: My father-in-law abused me thousands of times, but I treated him like... Ugh! I'm so angry╭(╯^╰)╮
