Chapter 720: Meeting
Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin were unprepared. They did not know that their grandson and granddaughter were coming back now. They were stunned and unable to move.
When Qin Li and Qin Si saw their grandparents, their eyes reddened.
They had always heard their father say that their grandparents had suffered a lot here. For many years, they had only heard about them but never met them. Now that they were seeing their grandparents for themselves and saw that they were staying in this shabby house, dressed in old and worn out clothes looking aged, they felt that they had been very unfilial!
Their entire family overseas had good food and lived in a nice home. They had servants to wait on them, and the entire family lived in a large villa. They had a good life.
But their grandparents were living like that!
“Grandfather, Grandma…”
Qin Li and Qin Si addressed them simultaneously.
Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin looked at them. The two children looked like their son. After so many years, the children had finally come home.
Even Jiang Yiru, who was so strong and positive, could not help but cry when she saw the children.
After all, they were part of her family, and she had not seen them for so many years. Now that she saw them, she felt a genuine and bone-deep kinship towards them.
“Li’er…”
The four of them immediately hugged each other and burst into tears.
Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan watched them. Gu Qingyao was both happy and sad!
Teacher had waited for so many years. She had suffered so much over the years. Finally, she could meet these children.
After a long time, Old Master Qin was the first to recover. He consoled Jiang Yiru a little and glanced at Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan. He smiled. “Great! Great! You’re all back. Come, come, come have a seat.
“Have you eaten? You might as well have lunch here. Wife, stop crying. The children are hungry! Hurry up and cook.”
He dragged Jiang Yiru towards the kitchen as he spoke.
Jiang Yiru wiped her tears, her face filled with smiles. “Right, right, right. I’ll go and cook now. We can eat together later.”
Gu Qingyao laughed and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yiru back. She said with a smile, “Teacher, Qin Li and Qin Si are back. You and Grandfather Qin should just talk to them! You must have a lot to talk about. I’ll go and cook.”
After so many years apart, Jiang Yiru must have a lot to say to them. How could Gu Qingyao let her cook?
Gu Qingyao dragged Mo Beihan to the kitchen, leaving the four of them to talk.
In the kitchen, Gu Qingyao examined the ingredients. The things here were of much poorer quality than what she had.
She had been away for so many years. Without her resources to supplement them, Jiang Yiru and Old Master Qin lived the lives of ordinary people. The ingredients in their kitchen were limited.
But Gu Qingyao knew that her teacher and Old Master Qin lived much more comfortably than ordinary people.
They both had jobs, so their lives were better than the majority of other families.
Gu Qingyao sighed. Really, comparison was futile!
“Brother Beihan, there are too few ingredients here. Go and buy some more. Weren’t there a few small stalls at the junction that we passed just now? Go and buy some!”
Now, more and more small businesses were starting up. There were already people selling things in the streets and alleys, be it vegetables, clothes, or shoes.
Now that businesses were growing, things were still rather messy. Most of them sold vegetables grown on the farm.
