These purple polygalas are slightly taller than Gu Qiaoqiao. She slightly raised her head, and Qin Yize’s heart was stirred. He quickly walked outside, opened the trunk of the jeep, and took out the cara.
Then, he hurriedly returned to the courtyard, where Gu Qiaoqiao was still curiously admiring the polygalas.
It was indeed the first ti she had seen such flowers, feeling especially intrigued. Generally, flowers bloom on branches, but these flowers refused to waste even the trunk, doing their best to decorate the tree. Gu Qiaoqiao found nature truly magical.
At the mont Gu Qiaoqiao slightly raised her head to gaze, Qin Yize continuously pressed the shutter, capturing her silhouette as she looked up at the polygalas.
Beside them, Old Grand Master Qin laughed heartily, his eyes full of love, while the little orderly Xiao Yuan excitedly took the vegetables they bought to the kitchen.
Upon hearing the click of the cara, Gu Qiaoqiao turned around abruptly and saw Qin Yize taking pictures of her with the cara. She playfully complained, "Why are you photographing ? I haven’t posed yet..."
Old Grand Master Qin’s laughter grew louder when he heard Gu Qiaoqiao’s childlike words.
Two blushes blood on Gu Qiaoqiao’s face as she embarrassedly walked over quickly. Qin Yize smiled slightly, "No need to pose; natural is the most beautiful."
Gu Qiaoqiao lightly punched him, "Are you saying that I don’t look good when I pose?"
"Not at all, not at all, my wife is equally beautiful whether she poses or not," Qin Yize hurriedly countered, smiles in his eyes and brows.
Old Grand Master Qin had long been accustod to Qin Yize like this. Sotis, he had to admit that a woman can change a man.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, recalling his late wife. Back then, he was just a playboy, idle every day, causing trouble, only knowing how to eat, drink, and have fun. Even though the country was in war turmoil, he always felt it had nothing to do with him. After all, the prosperous life of the Qin Family wouldn’t vanish.
Until later he t her.
It was she who led him onto this bright road.
Whatever he had experienced in the past, he never regretted his choices. His whole life was a pride and honor with her, the two of them facing nurous trials together. Seeing his great-grandson and great-granddaughter-in-law now invariably reminded him of the past.
Rembering his deceased wife, then his only daughter far abroad, Old Grand Master Qin frowned. At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao noticed the wrinkles and sighs on Old Grand Master’s face and felt curious. What was bothering Old Grand Master, was he reminded of sothing?
Qin Yize naturally sensed it too. He bent down and half-hugged Old Grand Master’s shoulder, asking in a deep voice, "Great Grandfather, what’s wrong?"
"I’m fine, just thinking about your Great Grandma," Old Grand Master Qin said softly.
"Great Grandfather..." Qin Yize didn’t finish his sentence. At this mont, any comfort seed futile. He tightened his grip on Old Grand Master’s shoulder, the warmth of his hand quietly passing on to Old Grand Master. Old Grand Master lifted his head and smiled, "I’m not sad, just miss your aunt..."
"Didn’t you just have a phone call with her so ti ago?"
"What good is a phone call? Last ti she returned, I saw her only once. Now another three years have passed..." Old Grand Master’s voice was tinged with a sigh.
"Great Grandfather, why don’t you go abroad to see your aunt?"
Qin Yize softly suggested.
Gu Qiaoqiao checked the ti, "You guys keep chatting, I’ll start cooking. Great Grandfather, I’ll make a few of your favorite dishes today."
"Qiaoqiao, no rush, sit with Great Grandfather for a while here. Let Xiao Yuan handle the vegetables first; you can cook them later."
Clearly, Old Grand Master had sothing to say to her. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t decline, instead sitting on the nearby rattan chair, while Qin Yize also seated himself on the other side of Old Grand Master.
The three of them sat together beneath the flower trellis, the golden sunset growing increasingly radiant, seemingly knowing it would soon set, exhausting all its strength to blossom into its final beauty.
This beauty made the small courtyard seem like an Imaginary land of joy and plenty. If it weren’t for the robust calls from afar, one could easily fall under such an illusion.
Evening was not suitable for tea. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a mont, then went to the kitchen, cut the fruits she brought, and carried them out, standing at the kitchen door to tell Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, I’ll be cooking in a little while."
"Alright, Sister Qiaoqiao."
Xiao Yuan was two years younger than Gu Qiaoqiao. At first, he thought Gu Qiaoqiao was younger than him.
He called her Little Sister Qiaoqiao for a long ti, only to be eventually corrected firmly by Qin Yize who overheard.
Gu Qiaoqiao carried the fruit to the trellis in the courtyard, placed the fruit on the White Jade Stone coffee table, and took Old Grand Master’s teacup. "Great Grandfather, have so fruit before als; it’s good for your health..."
Apples and bananas were cut into pieces by Gu Qiaoqiao, arranged on the plate with toothpicks for convenience.
Old Grand Master Qin mumbled, "Only now that life has improved do we talk about fruit before and after als. During war tis, when tis were tough, we ate whatever was edible, unlike now where we can be picky..."
Qin Yize used a toothpick to pierce a piece of banana, placed it by Old Grand Master’s mouth, and gently said, "Great Grandfather, tis change, the world has developed; can’t look at now with past perspectives. Life will always get better,"
"Of course I know, no need for you, brat, to teach," Old Grand Master Qin reached out, took the banana from Qin Yize’s hand, and gave him a sidelong glance, "I discover you increasingly unable to speak properly now. I understand your rationale more than you."
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, realizing Old Grand Master Qin truly adored Qin Yize. It was only before Qin Yize that Old Grand Master Qin seed so relaxed and approachable.
But Gu Qiaoqiao also knew Old Grand Master seed genuinely to miss his only daughter.
Old Grand Master Qin had one son and one daughter. His son Qin Yugang passed away early, leaving only a daughter abroad, whose story was quite legendary.
Old Grand Master’s daughter was nad Qin Sisi, very beautiful, loved dancing from a young age, always wanting to beco a dancer, later fulfilling her wish by getting into a dance academy and becoming its youngest student.
In the early fifties, at rely seventeen, Qin Sisi could already lead dances on stage.
Later, due to an accident, she could never dance again.
This was a huge blow to Qin Sisi.
She attempted suicide twice but was saved both tis...
