Yang Jinghong rolled her eyes at me, then held her grandfather's hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's not that I'm not interested in men, it's just that I haven't met a man I like, so I've been single."
"Ah, so that's it. It's good to be single. Okay, it's good to be single." Grandpa said, his eyes kept looking at Yang Jinghong and me, not knowing what he was thinking about.
I looked at Yang Jinghong a little speechless. He kept telling me that he was not interested in men and did not want to fall in love. He said that buddies are for life, but his tone changed in front of my grandpa.
I handed the Chinese medicine to Yang Jinghong, looked at my grandfather in confusion and asked, "Grandpa, where is my uncle?"
"I kicked him out. He was an eyesore." Grandpa looked at Yang Jinghong again and said with a smile: "I just find Jinghong pleasing to the eye, and he chatters straight away. I feel like he gets along well with me. Jinghong, you'll be fine from now on." Come and see me more, I don’t have anyone to talk to all day long.”
Hearing this, I felt very sad. In fact, this is also the reason why the elderly do not like to live in the city. They are so isolated that they don’t know anyone, and they really don’t even have anyone to talk to.
I heard that my grandpa is usually reluctant to go out and doesn’t get along well with his neighbors.
Yang Jinghong held grandpa's hand and said seriously: "Hey, don't worry, grandpa, I'll come see you when I'm free. I'll make some medicine for you first."
As he said that, Yang Jinghong took out a grinder from the medicine box. He had all kinds of things done. After grinding the herbs I grabbed into powder, he took out a pack of white powder from the box and mixed the herbs evenly. .
I thought to myself, is this her secret recipe?
After that, Yang Jinghong boiled the herbs into a sticky paste. After the temperature was cool enough, he gave it to his grandfather and said with a smile: "Grandpa, let me feed you some medicine."
"Haha, no, no, I feel much better now." Grandpa said with a smile, "I can do it myself."
Yang Jinghong looked at his grandfather who was taking medicine and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are almost eighty. You should pay more attention to your health."
"It's not bad. I'm seventy-eight years old. I don't have any serious health problems. I just feel lonely." After speaking, my grandfather smiled and said, "But this time I feel much better with you. Come and visit me occasionally in the future to keep me company." I'm content with just nagging."
"Don't worry, grandpa. I'll come and see you if nothing happens. Eat slowly so you don't get burned." Yang Jinghong said with a smile.
I took a deep breath, looked at my grandpa and said, "Grandpa, I will rent a house in a few days and I am looking for a caregiver. Come with me so that I can spend more time with you."
"Stop it, I won't go. I have free food and accommodation here. What are you doing with that money? It's a lot of money." After speaking, my grandfather suddenly glanced at my and Yang Jinghong's faces and asked for the first time. He said, "By the way, Xiao An, how are you and Meng Xin getting along now?"
"I..." I was instantly enveloped in disappointment, my heart stung, but I pretended to be happy, "Mengxin and I are fine, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"It's very good." Grandpa looked at Yang Jinghong and then at me, "Xiao An, actually grandpa has always wanted to say something to you. I feel that you and Xiao Mengxin are not suitable. I feel that she is too domineering. Yeah, my temper is too high. I heard that this kind of woman is very possessive, I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss if you date her."
Not only was it a loss, since I got together with Xiao Mengxin, I hardly had a few good days, and one injury to me was enough to give me half a year of reprieve.
I forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, it's okay. You can't suffer. Don't worry about me. We can just get along and get used to it."
If my grandfather hadn't been worried because he was getting older, I would have told him about Mengxin and I's situation.
"Hey." Grandpa suddenly held Yang Jinghong's hand and sighed: "Jinghong, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. I'm afraid you will be angry if I say it. It feels a bit rash."
"Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it. I won't be angry." Yang Jinghong said with a smile, his expression a little curious.
Just when I was also puzzled.
Grandpa suddenly said something shocking: "Jinghong, what do you think of my grandson Xiao An? Actually, actually, I think you two are quite suitable. I like your child, you are down-to-earth, better than that Xiao Mengxin "Qiang, it's just that you are a bit older, in your mid-twenties, maybe. I'm afraid you might think Xiao An is too young, or else..."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" I didn't expect that grandpa would bring us two together, and I was a little frightened. "Grandpa, you are confused. Yang Jinghong and I are just buddies. We have been together forever. Brother, please stop pulling the strings, okay?"
"Why did I mess up the relationship?" Grandpa was not happy when he heard this, "I just feel that Jinghong is a better kid, better than that Xiao Mengxin. Besides, it's not like the girls I'm dating are older than the boys. You ..."
"You can do it, grandpa, but don't say anything. Yang Jinghong is seven years older than me. How is that possible? You..." After I said that, I looked at Yang Jinghong and was stunned. I saw her cheeks were slightly red. , and there was no refutation of this matter.
But I just regarded her as a buddy, so I quickly said: "Sister Jinghong, you are just talking. My grandpa is going to be the elder of the moon, so he has helped us match up."
"Ah? Ah." Yang Jinghong seemed to have just reacted, and said a little embarrassed: "Grandpa, Xiao An only has Xiao Mengxin in his heart now, and besides, I have no plans to fall in love at the moment."
After Yang Jinghong finished speaking, he lowered his eyes.
"Jinghong." Grandpa held Yang Jinghong's hand and said sincerely: "Don't worry, if you like our Xiao An, I'll keep it for you. I don't think he and Xiao Mengxin will be able to get along long, because they are older than you. I'm a few years younger, but I feel like it doesn't matter. What's important for two people to be together is that they get along, and age doesn't matter."
"Grandpa, no, you..." I was about to speak.
Grandpa suddenly interrupted me and said, "I'm talking to Jinghong, please don't say anything yet."
Immediately afterwards, my grandpa started to match up Yang Jinghong and me again. Her face became redder and redder as she talked, and I was really speechless.
I thought in my heart that my grandpa is really an old kid, and I just thought about it. This was the first time I met Yang Jinghong, and we got along well with him. He also asked us to talk about a partner. There is really no one else. I feel that he is a bit old. Confused.
"Okay, grandpa, don't talk about us now." Yang Jinghong took the medicine bowl that his grandpa had finished, looked at his hair and said, "Grandpa, do you have hair cutting tools at home? Look at your hair. It’s grown so long, let me cut it for you.”
When I heard this, I was surprised and asked, "Do you know how to cut your hair?"
"Of course, I can cook since I was seven years old. Why can't I?" Yang Jinghong said proudly: "But my hair cutting skills are average and I can only cut normal hairstyles."
"Okay, okay, great, Jinghong, you are so versatile, you can do everything. Grandpa is really becoming more and more interested in you." Grandpa was very happy, looked at me again and said, "Xiao An, what are you still doing? Ah, there is a barber shop downstairs, go and borrow a set of hair cutting tools."
I was a little speechless. Seeing this, my grandpa would regard Yang Jinghong as his granddaughter, and he would treat her better than me.
Then I went downstairs to borrow tools. The owner of the barber shop was quite easy to talk to and lent me a set of scissors, clippers and a scarf. But I didn't bother him in vain, so I gave him ten yuan.
After going upstairs, Yang Jinghong cut his grandfather's hair. Twenty minutes later, an energetic old man came into view.
Not to mention, although Yang Jinghong's skills are not as good as Teacher Tony from the big barber shop, they are definitely better than those at barber shops in the community.
Grandpa saw that his image had improved, and he felt refreshed after taking the medicine. He was also happier. He and Yang Jinghong chatted non-stop, and it felt like they had met each other too late.
And I immediately became a soy sauce existence, watching from the sidelines as the two of them chatted and couldn't get a word in. The whole room was filled with the laughter of my grandpa and Yang Jinghong's hearty laughter.
It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Jinghong brought the topic back, "Grandpa, how are you feeling? If nothing happens, I'll go home first."
"Okay, it's good. I'm very good." Grandpa moved his body and smiled: "Jinghong, your secret recipe is really amazing. My head doesn't hurt, I don't feel confused anymore, my stomach feels much better, and nothing's wrong. Yes, it’s pretty good.”
I went up and touched my grandfather's forehead. The temperature was just right. After testing his temperature, it was 36.5 degrees. I couldn't help but give Yang Jinghong a thumbs up in admiration.
Seeing that grandpa was fine, Yang Jinghong started to pack his tools and said with a smile: "Grandpa, are you fine? I'll go home first. I still have something to do at home."
