Auntie Sun thought that she was hearing things, so she blinked her eyes furiously as even more question marks appeared in her eyes, “??????”
Ignoring Auntie Sun’s about-to-crumble expression, Lin Jiage nonchalantly continued on with his act, “Hm? Auntie Sun, what’s wrong? I have already delivered the breakfast here, so shouldn’t you help me prepare the food for grandfather to eat?”
As he spoke, Lin Jiage laid out the dishes one by one on the table.
The appearance of food swiftly caught the entirety of Shi Yao’s attention.
Grandpa Lin had always thought of Shi Yao as his treasure, and true to that, the only thing he was interested in was entertaining Shi Yao, “Yaoyao, come and have some glutinous rice balls. There are some buns here too. Don’t forget to dig into the laba porridge too…”
Perhaps it was due to Auntie Sun’s presence being too weak, but not a single person in the ward noticed the peculiarity in her expression, so no one bothered clarifying with her whether Lin Jiage’s claims were right or not. Resigned, she could only go along with Lin Jiage and lay the breakfast dishes out on the table.
When all of the dishes had finally been laid out, Grandpa Lin swiftly noticed something that left a frown on his forehead, “Auntie Sun, why are all of the dishes sweet? Also, there isn’t the soybean pudding and fried dough sticks that I love amongst them too!”
Before Auntie Sun could even respond, Lin Jiage, who was in the midst of stirring the dumplings from a thermal flask, had already replied on her behalf, “Auntie Sun is getting on in years, and her memory isn’t working too well anymore. There isn’t any mention of soybean pudding and fried dough sticks in the message she sent me yesterday.”
And of course, Lin Jiage didn’t forget to turn his gaze toward Auntie Sun to seek confirmation, “Isn’t that so, Auntie Sun?”
Auntie Sun felt deeply indignant, but the look that Lin Jiage was shooting her left her no choice but to play along with him, “Y-y-yes, that’s right… Old Master, my memory is really getting worse as the years pass by…”
Fortunately, Grandpa Lin didn’t harp too much on the issue. He shot Auntie Sun an empathetic look before returning back to chatting with Shi Yao.
Shi Yao also directed a consoling smile at Auntie Sun before returning back to munching on her bun. As she chewed on it, she quietly listened to Grandpa Lin’s concerned nagging and nodded her head obediently from time to time.
“It’s fine, Auntie Sun. You don’t have to feel too bad about it. It’s just a minor mistake, no one will take it into mind.” Lin Jiage consoled Auntie Sun kindly as he took away the thermal flask filled with Sh Yao’s dumplings and switched it with the one he had just cooled down to the perfect temperature for consumption.
…
Even though Auntie Sun remained indignant throughout the entire duration, the atmosphere around the table was still warm and harmonious.
While the food was a little too sweet for the Old Master’s liking, Shi Yao’s gentle nudging of “Grandpa, you are eating too little. Here, eat this”, “This bun is really nice, try a bite of it”, and so still induced Grandpa Lin to eat a fair bit.
Lin Jiage didn’t speak much during this period of time, but listening to Shi Yao nudge his grandfather to eat more resulted in him eating a fair bit too.
Just that, this atmosphere didn’t last too long before it was destroyed by someone.
Just as they were about to wrap up their breakfast, they suddenly heard knocking on the ward door.
Auntie Sun placed down her chopsticks to get the door.
As it was still early, Grandpa Lin, Lin Jiage, and Shi Yao thought that it was the doctor conducting his routine check, so they didn’t pay too much heed to it. It was only when Auntie Sun called out “Madam Liang” did the three of them finally turned their heads to the ward door.
The visitor was someone whom all three of them recognized.
She was Liang Jiusi’s mother, which meant to say that she was Liang Mumu’s aunt too, Liang Huiling.
Upon catching the gazes ofGrandpa Lin, Lin Jiage, and Shi Yao, she greeted with a bright smile, “Uncle Lin!”
After which, she walked into the ward amidst the resounding clacking sound of her high heels, revealing her beautiful silk qipao.
It was when she was a distance into the ward did everyone notice that she hadn’t come alone. There was another person following behind her.
