Chapter 242 - 242 Grandpa Was Shocked
242 Grandpa Was Shocked
Luo Cheng also thought of this. Then, he got busy with his father-in-law.
In the house, a white-haired old woman was sleeping on the bed.
She actually wasn’t seriously ill. She just caught a cold.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, she felt dizzy and fell asleep.
Zhao Xiu looked at her old mother and asked about her situation. After knowing what was going on, she went to the kitchen to help.
Her brothers and daughters-in-law were not around. They must have accompanied their spouses back to their families.
Every family was full of liveliness. Only the Zhao family’s residence was deserted. It was obvious that her father hadn’t had the time to cook.
“Sigh, it’s rare for you to come back. You should sit and rest! I’ll cook for you guys later!” Seeing this, Zhao Huaishan hurriedly stopped his eldest daughter, Zhao Xiu.
Zhao Xiu had been tired out at her in-laws’ house, so he definitely had to let her have a good rest when she returned.
“Father, it’s rare for me to come back. Try my cooking! Besides, we took an ox cart all the way here, so we’re not tired. Sit down and rest assured. I’ll go cook. When my mother wakes up later, she’ll be able to eat my food!” Zhao Xiu hurriedly said.
Zhao Huaishan could only nod.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll help Mom cook. It won’t take long!” Li Xiaoqing said as she rolled up her sleeves to help.
“That’s right, Grandpa. Just sit here and talk to my father. We’ll cook!” Li Xiaoran said as she asked Luo Cheng to bring some ingredients in.
They had brought a lot of food this time.
Since she was going to cook, she naturally had to cook a table of delicious food to show her respect.
“This is Xiaoran, right?! She used to be so quiet, but now, she seems to be much more cheerful!” Zhao Huaishan finally recognized Li Xiaoran and said in surprise.
“She wasn’t like before! It’s a long story. Father, listen to me!” Li Shun sighed and said.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” When Zhao Huaishan heard his son-in-law’s words, he understood that something must have happened.
“Luo Cheng! Don’t be in a hurry to get your things. Come and see your grandfather first!” Li Shun stopped Luo Cheng when he saw him coming out to get something again.
As soon as Luo Cheng heard Li Shun call him, he immediately walked over.
“I’m Luo Cheng. Greetings, Grandpa!”
Zhao Huaishan sized up Luo Cheng and asked, “Who is this guy?”
“This is your grandson-in-law, Xiaoran’s husband, Luo Cheng!” Li Shun smiled and introduced, “Take a look. What do you think of your grandson-in-law?”
When Zhao Huaishan heard that Luo Cheng was his grandson-in-law, his expression immediately became serious.
After sizing Luo Cheng up for a while, Zhao Huaishan realized that there was an eagle cub standing on Luo Cheng’s shoulder.
“This…” Zhao Huaishan’s eyes widened. Then, he said excitedly,” The baby eagle recognized him as its companion? ”
When Li Shun saw that the old man had only realized it now, he smiled and nodded. “I think so! Not only him, but even Xiaoran has a baby eagle standing on her shoulder. You didn’t notice it just now, did you?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoran came out to get something.
As expected, the other eagle cub had been standing on Li Xiaoran’s shoulder and showed no signs of leaving.
“This, this…”
Zhao Huaishan kept stammering.
“Grandpa? Grandpa?” Li Xiaoran was shocked to see that Zhao Huaishan couldn’t speak.
Fortunately, Zhao Huaishan had already recovered and quickly wanted to find a stool to sit on.
Li Shun handed over a stool and asked his father-in-law to quickly sit down.
After that, Li Shun gave Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran a look and gestured for them to leave quickly.
Li Xiaoran didn’t know what was going on, but Luo Cheng already understood, so he quickly brought Li Xiaoran to the kitchen.
On the way to the kitchen, Li Xiaoran learned what had happened from Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoran smiled and said, “It seems that you have to thank the eagle cub on your shoulder!”
Luo Cheng smiled, then glanced at the eagle on his shoulder and thought for a moment. “We should thank it! But we can’t keep calling it a baby bird! Why don’t we give it a name?”
Li Xiaoran looked at the baby bird on her shoulder and then at the one on Luo Cheng’s shoulder. Then, she said, “Why don’t we call them Heart and Seal?! Mine is probably a female eagle, so it’ll be called Heart. Yours will be called Seal!”
Luo Cheng thought about it and felt that the name wasn’t bad, so he agreed.
“Alright! Let’s call it Heart and Seal!”
Just like that, the two eagles were named.
Xu Xiufang woke up to a familiar fragrance.
“What are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?! Why do I smell the aroma of Xiu’er’s meat porridge?!”
Xu Xiufang put on her clothes as she spoke, then put on her shoes and walked out.
Zhao Huaishan heard his wife’s voice and hurriedly ran in.
“Come and take a look. What delicious food is this?!”
As he spoke, Zhao Huaishan pulled Xu Xiufang to the dining table.
“You’re amazing! As soon as your son and daughter-in-law left, you revealed your hidden skills? I’ve been married to you for so many years, but why didn’t I know that you had such good culinary skills?” Xu Xiufang looked at the dishes and said in surprise, “Look at these dishes. The aroma and color are enough to make you a chef!”
“This isn’t my cooking! You already said that you’ve never seen me have such good cooking skills after being married to me for so many years! Come, look out the door!” Zhao Huaishan smiled and pulled his wife towards the door.
“Mom, Granny,” a group of people stood at the door and shouted at Xu Xiufang.
At this moment, Xu Xiufang thought that she was seeing things and couldn’t help but rub her eyes.
“It’s true! Xiu’er is back! Your eldest daughter and her family are back!” Zhao Huaishan said with a smile.
“Yes, Mom, I’m Xiu’er! I’m back to see you!” Zhao Xiu walked forward and grabbed her mother’s hand.
“Xiu’er! It’s my Xiu’er!” At this moment, Xu Xiufang felt the warmth from her hand and started crying.
Over the years, Xu Xiufang had missed her elder daughter the most.
She thought about Zhao Xiu every day, and she didn’t expect to see Zhao Xiu today.
“Mom, it’s me. Your unfilial daughter, Xiu’er, is back!” Zhao Xiu’s eyes were filled with tears as she hugged her mother and cried.
