Chapter 217 I hope you find your own happiness
Grandma sat on the old rattan chair that had witnessed the vicissitudes of life. The afternoon sun shone through the mottled window lattices, gently onto her wrinkled but amiable face.
After looking at the gift Xiao Fangfei sent and listening to her brief introduction, the grandmother was filled with joy and moved. She praised her for being thoughtful and held her hand, saying that she was like her own granddaughter.
Gu Fanxing also echoed from the side, and the room was filled with warmth.
When the grandmother looked at the two innocent girls with beautiful smiles in front of her, she suddenly felt a warm current in her heart, but at the same time, she also had other thoughts.
These two sweet little girls are not young anymore, and it’s time for them to have boyfriends.
Suddenly, the faces of two handsome boys, Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu, flashed through grandma's mind.
Although grandma didn't have much contact with these two big boys, based on her experience of meeting countless people, she could vaguely feel that there seemed to be some different emotions slowly growing between them and Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei, waiting to burst out one day in the future.
Pei Luonan, the tall and straight young man with deep eyes, seemed to have stars twinkling in his eyes every time he looked at Gu Fanxing. How could my grandmother, who had experienced it, not notice the things contained in that look?
Kong Haoyu is sunny and handsome, and his smile is like the warm spring sun. When he and Xiao Fangfei are together, the tacit understanding and care that he inadvertently reveals also makes his grandmother secretly pay attention to him.
It seems that she has to do something while her two little ones are around.
Grandma took Xiao Fangfei's hand and patted it gently, then looked at Gu Fanxing, leaned forward slightly, and started the topic with a mysterious smile: "You guys, you can't accompany an old lady like me all day long. You young people should also go out more and make some friends."
At this time, the cold wind blew gently outside the window, and the branches swayed, as if curiously eavesdropping on the conversation inside the house.
Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei were both stunned. Their eyes met in the air and they briefly shared their confusion.
Then Gu Fanxing responded with a smile. She walked to her grandmother's side and sat down, holding her arm: "Grandma, the happiest thing is that we are with you. Everything else doesn't matter."
Grandma shook her head slightly, with a hint of anger, and stretched out her finger to gently tap Gu Fanxing's forehead.
"You are still young, you can't just revolve around me. When grandma was your age, she had already met many other people in her life besides her family. The sky at that time was always blue, like a clear gem, and the occasional clouds passing by were like clouds. In those days, grandma also encountered many beautiful things."
Gu Fanxing seemed to have sensed the hidden meaning in her grandmother's words. Her heart moved slightly, but she still kept a faint smile on her face, but there was a barely perceptible shyness in her eyes: "Grandma, we are also experiencing it slowly, but fate is something that cannot be rushed, just like a flower that is about to bloom, it has to wait until the right time to bloom brilliantly."
Grandma had a smile on her lips and said casually, "I've seen your two friends before, Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu. They look like energetic young men. They stood there like tall poplars in spring, full of vigor." As grandma spoke, she paid attention to the changes in the expressions of the two girls.
Xiao Fangfei didn't think much about it and said frankly, "Grandma, they are really nice people and get along well with us, but we have only met a few times and are not very familiar with each other."
Grandma's eyes stayed on Xiao Fangfei's face for a moment, then turned to Gu Fanxing, with a little more inquiry in her eyes, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "Fanxing, grandma feels that when Pei Luonan is with you, there is always an indescribable feeling. What about you, don't you have any special impression of him?"
Gu Fanxing's cheeks flushed instantly, as if dyed by the sunset. She dodged slightly and looked away unconsciously. Her heart was beating like a little rabbit in her heart: "Grandma, we are just ordinary friends, chatting together, nothing special."
Grandma sighed softly, her eyes full of love and concern: "Grandma just hopes that your life can be more colorful. Your happiness is always in my heart."
Gu Fanxing felt warm in her heart. She held her grandmother's hand tightly and looked at her sincerely: "Grandma, we know you are good to us. Don't worry, we will live well. Your care is like a trickle of water, nourishing our hearts."
Xiao Fangfei also nodded in agreement. She raised her head with a well-behaved smile on her face: "Grandma, we are already very happy to have your love and care. You are like a harbor, giving our two little boats a place to dock regardless of wind or rain."
Grandma smiled and didn't continue the topic.
Then, grandma excitedly talked about the arrangements for the Chinese New Year: "We have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner well, and Fanxing must show her cooking skills. By then, the kitchen will be steaming hot and full of fragrance, just like a magical world of gourmet food."
Gu Fanxing readily agreed: "Grandma, I will definitely cook well and put all my love into the dishes."
Xiao Fangfei also said: "Grandma, I help Fanxing. I am like a little assistant elf, following the chef's instructions."
Grandma smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year together. That scene will definitely be more lively and festive than the fireworks during the New Year."
The atmosphere in the house is warm and harmonious. Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei are well aware of their grandmother's care and love, and their grandmother is silently praying for them: I hope you can find your own happiness, and be able to live happily with your destined person for the rest of your life.
Night falls quietly, and the city lights gradually light up like stars.
Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei were busy in the kitchen. The kitchen was steaming hot and the warm yellow light shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of golden gauze.
Grandma kept giving instructions and occasionally recalled the interesting cooking stories from her youth, which made the two of them laugh. Their laughter echoed in the house like silver bells, dispelling the cold and silence of the night.
On the dinner table, the dishes were rich and the aroma was fragrant.
Grandma watched the two girls eating with gusto, her face filled with a happy smile. "Eat more, you have been busy all day, you must be exhausted."
Gu Fanxing stuffed food in her mouth and said incoherently: "Grandma, the dishes you taught us to cook are so delicious that I can hardly stop eating them. The taste is just like the taste of home, it's intoxicating."
Xiao Fangfei also smiled and said, "Yes, grandma. I think this is the most delicious dinner I have ever had. Every bite is full of your love."
Grandma laughed happily, "You two have such sweet mouths. As long as you like, grandma will teach you slowly in the future."
After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room, where the fireplace emitted warm light and the TV played cheerful programs.
They watched TV and chatted. Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei snuggled up to their grandmother, feeling the strong family love.
Suddenly, grandma seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm going to the temple to pray tomorrow, you guys come with me!"
Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, grandma. We'll go with you."
Grandma smiled with satisfaction, "Then it's settled. You should go to bed early tonight, as you have to get up early tomorrow. Have a good sleep and have a sweet dream."
"Okay, grandma. You should go to bed early too."
The room gradually became quiet, and the two girls fell asleep with their dreams of the future and love for their grandmother.
Grandma was in her room, silently praying for the two girls, hoping that they could find their own happiness in the new year.
