Chapter 32: Grandpa's name

At the New Year's Eve dinner, grandpa wore a woolen hat knitted by grandma.
Grandpa's expression is as serious as ever, his hat is not.
The woolen hat is gray-blue, just the size of his head. It covers the entire head from the eyebrows, and the fluffy ball of the same color falls on the back of its head.
Grandma was pleasantly surprised to pull out the hat from the depths of the closet, grabbed the little fur ball, and decided it was it.
"Look, what I found." She showed her woolen cap from behind and shook it in front of her grandpa.
"The hat you knitted many years ago." He recognized it all at once.
"Yes," Grandma put a soft cloth on her cheek and rubbed it comfortably: "I miss it."
Touching the clean and smooth new hairstyle like grandpa's marinated egg, she put her hat on his head and quickly kissed him on the forehead.
The cute hat doesn't match grandpa's dry face, but it suits this joyous holiday.
Grandma is free in a while, so she's going to play with the little hairy ball of the hat.
Give grandpa a bite of rice, and while he is chewing, she stretched out her hand bashfully.
Pinch pinch.
"Jiang Mingzhen!" Reminding her eyes repeatedly was invalid, and grandpa began to shout grandma's name again.
"I squeezed the hat I knit, what's the problem for you?" Grandma looked stubborn and irrational.
He reminded her: "But it's on my head now."
"You, you..." She put down her job, akimbo her hips imposingly: "You're still my husband, I can pinch you if I want to."
As soon as the words fell, grandpa's face was pinched severely.
"Jiang Mingzhen," he was embarrassed: "You dare to move me again?"
"Why don't I dare! I move to show you, huh..."
"Jiang Mingzhen!"
The relatives who hadn't seen for a long time gathered together. They couldn't help but peek at the quarrel of grandma, then looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The older generation shook their heads and sighed, "These two people have been the same for decades."
"Isn't it, old people are not like old people, and patients are not like patients." What they said was full of envy in the jokes of the old couple.
Niuniu's father asked his wife curiously: "Now they are quite strong in fighting. If it is inconvenient without legs and feet, you say, can our mother beat our father?"
"I can't beat it," she whispered to him: "When I was a child, I often saw my mother being picked up and spanked by my dad. My mother was always the first to be pinched, and my dad squeezed it back Praise her for being "good"."
but now……
Grandma Yaowu pulled her grandfather's ears awe-inspiringly, announcing her victory in the fight and obtaining permanent freedom to touch the ball.
The table for the New Year’s Eve dinner is the most sumptuous, with everything delicious and delicious.
My grandmother is a chef, and she definitely has no choice in the dishes she made.
So adults don’t understand why Xiao Zhu Niu Niu, who is their favorite food on weekdays, suddenly loses appetite today.
"Ugh."
Niuniu sighed deeply towards the food hill in front of her.
"I'm not going to eat anymore, I'm going to watch TV first."
Grandpa can't eat too oily, he and grandma finished the New Year's Eve dinner earlier than their relatives.
"Niu Niu has something to worry about?" A close friend who had a few dozen years of age with her, sat next to Niu Niu with a beautiful dinner plate.
"Grandma..."
It was the age of acting like a baby, the little girl threw herself into her grandmother's arms. He buried her head in her warm clothes and sniffed the smell of washing powder on her body.
"Ouch."
Grandma held Niuniu and stroked her soft hair.
"Grandma," Niuniu raised her head and asked her: "In your story, is there any plot to defeat a supporting actress?"
"Huh?" Grandma didn't understand her question, and glanced at the grandpa beside her.
Grandpa was also at a loss.
"That is, the story you told me, will there be a supporting actress who is more beautiful than you, taller than you, and more attractive to boys than you?"
The little granddaughter described it with a tangled expression, but grandma understood it now.
"You tell me the story of He Yu?"
At the mention of this name, Niuniu's resistance came up again.
"Don't listen to any jade!" she said loudly: "He is too bad for grandma, I hate him."
Relatives who had eaten almost came to the living room and just heard this sentence.
"Yo?" There is fun to watch, and everyone will naturally not miss it: "Niuniu, what did He Yu do to grandma, so heinous?"
Grandma smiled and explained: "I was telling Niuniu about the love story between He Yu and me recently."
"In love?" Niuniu was the most shocked. She held her grandma tightly, not letting her act rashly: "Grandma, how can you fall in love with a tortoise like He Yu? You will be hurt."
Niuniu's words made grandma and grandpa stunned for a few seconds, and then they burst into laughter.
"It turns out that Niuniu still doesn't know about your love affairs?"
The relatives were amused by Niuniu, and laughed instantly.
"Yeah, hahaha, I speak slower, I haven't talked about it yet."
Niuniu had the worst expression in the audience. She could see that everyone was laughing at her, but...what's so funny?
"Grandpa," the little granddaughter's eyes were full of seriousness, and someone had to find someone to take care of this matter: "Grandma is going to be in love with He Yu, you even laughed too."
Grandpa suppressed his smile, calmed down, and supported the little granddaughter: "I stand in your camp. I also hate the big tortoise He Yu and like Jiang Mingzhen."
"Yeah," Niu Niu nodded like garlic: "That's right."
Grandma, she felt that she had failed her granddaughter's full support.
"Niu Niu, do you hate He Yu, but you don’t hate Jiang Mingzhen in the story? In fact, He Yu did very well except for Jiang Mingzhen’s bad treatment. On the other hand, Jiang Mingzhen, in the story so far, she has It is useless. What is she worth maintaining?"
Even though the magical brushstrokes painted Jiang Mingzhen in black villain colors, the grandmother in Niuniu's heart is always a cheerful and warm grandma who can cook good meals, and is so bright that no one can beat her.
"Niuniu will never hate grandma!"
Niuniu doesn't make sense at all, this little girl who helps her relatives and doesn't help her is like Jiang Mingzhen when she was a child. But because she already had a grandma like Jiang Mingzhen, she avoided Jiang Mingzhen's old path.
She was loved, and at the same time, she did not hesitate to give back with love.
"Do you want Niuniu to continue listening to the story? What's your question just now... Does my story knock down the female partner's plot?"
Grandma's eyes turned grunting, and she replied: "Of course there is! It must be! Listen, you will talk about it later."
Niuniu's interest came up immediately.
After listening to her grandma's story, she might figure out a way to deal with the "uninvited guest" in Axin's family and her beloved back.
"Then grandma, you promise me that you will marry grandpa in the end. You can't like He Yu. I will listen to you telling stories."
For fear that He Yu would leave the scene again so angry, Niuniu made an agreement with her grandma first.
"Well, the first condition is okay, but the latter, Niuniu, I am afraid it is a bit difficult. I have a different position from you and your grandfather. I don't like Jiang Mingzhen, but He Yu..."
Grandma cleared her throat and looked at the ceiling embarrassingly: "After so many years, I really like him the most."
"Wow! Hahahaha." Everyone applauded.
Climbing down from grandma's lap, the short-term Niuniu is now protecting her grandfather.
"Grandpa, grandpa, take away all the dried sweet potatoes you gave grandma, and don't let her eat it."
"Niu Niu," her mother asked her with a dizzy smile, "Do you know what grandpa's name is?"
Niuniu bit her lip without thinking: "Grandpa is called Grandpa."
"No," the relatives explained to her patiently: "Like Niuniu's name is Pan Niuniu, and her grandma's name is Jiang Mingzhen. What is the name of your grandfather?"
After thinking for a long time how grandma usually calls grandfather, Niuniu patted her head and thought.
"Old man!"
Obviously not.
The old man took off his woolen hat and let Niuniu look inside.
Grandma's hand-made hat, with two characters clearly embroidered inside, plus a small pink flower.
Those two characters are grandpa's name.
It happened to be a word that Niuniu knew, and she said it.
"He Yu."
In response, grandpa raised his hand high.
Niuniu's eyes widened.
"It seems that Jiang Mingzhen has to marry He Yu." The relatives regretted Niuniu.
The tortoise He Yu vowed that he would never marry Jiang Mingzhen.
What a tortoise, what he said is nothing, he did not honor it.
Grandpa scratched his head awkwardly and found that there was no hair on his forehead.
Everyone in the whole family now has a smile on their faces.
Niuniu knew that she would never leave the scene so angry with her grandma's story.
She ran into her grandfather's gaze looking at her, and a breeze blew across her heart, like the puff fan he gently shook for them that day.
Niuniu knew that Jiang Mingzhen would fall in love with He Yu, and it just so happened that He Yu also loved her deeply.
