Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Old Master Shu (5)_1 Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Old Master Shu (5)_1 After saying all that, the Ruanlin Family faced the visitor with a smile and went out to greet them.
Ruan Jiaojiao came out from behind and trotted to the outside of the courtyard, where she saw several young boys still circling around the vehicle, discussing it with relish. She hurried over to pull Ruan Feng aside and relayed the words of the Ruanlin Family.
Ruan Feng did not dare to delay; upon hearing the words, he immediately ran off like a wisp of smoke.
When Ruan Jiaojiao returned to the courtyard, the Ruanlin Family was making awkward conversation with her grandfather. Seeing her own omnipotent grandmother being pushed to such a state pained Ruan Jiaojiao, and she ran over to take Grandpa Shuâs hand, saying, âGrandpa, are you tired? Would you like to go and sleep for a bit with Jiaojiao?â
Grandpa Shu had come by train, a journey of two days and one night. Although he had someone to take care of him the entire way, his old age, compounded by a recent recovery from a serious illness, truly made the journey exhausting.
But it was his first visit to his daughterâs home, and he wasnât feeling settled, wanting to see more, thus he was persisting with effort.
Now, seeing Ruan Jiaojiao coaxing him to sleep, his heart went soft. Grandpa Shu, who never listened to anyone in the eyes of others, seemed to become a different person in front of Ruan Jiaojiao. He showed an awkward smile, then allowed himself to be helped to his feet by her.
Logically, Grandpa Shu should have stayed in Ruan Haoâs room, but Ruan Jiaojiao thought that since the Ruanlin Family did not like climbing stairs, Grandpa Shu also probably wouldnât enjoy it, especially since he seemed to be less robust than her grandmother. So, she led him to Ruan Jian-Guo and Shu Jiaoâs room.
âGrandpa, this is my parentsâ room; youâd have to climb stairs to go upstairs, and itâs tiring. You can rest here first. Sleep well, and Jiaojiao will wake you up for dinner in the evening,â Ruan Jiaojiao said as she pulled Grandpa Shu to the edge of the bed.
Seeing that he was once again furrowing his brows and taking stock of the room, she knew he was probably finding fault with it. Of course, she also knew this fault-finding definitely wasnât directed at their house, but rather a disapproval of her father, a farmer who had married his daughter.
She didnât give him a chance to think too much, removed her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and actively helped unfold the quilt. She knelt beside the pillow and properly assisted him to lie down.
âGrandpa, you sleep. Jiaojiao will stay here with you until you fall asleep, then Iâll go out,â she said after he had lied down.
âOkay,â responded Grandpa Shu. Despite his dissatisfaction, how could he remain tense with such cajoling from the little one? Obediently, he closed his eyes, which amazed Uncle Weiâan, who was watching from the side.
He had never seen Grandpa Shu so cooperative. Even when the young miss had cajoled him back at home, he would always maintain a stern face, taking a good while before he complied. Yet now, the little miss had so easily coaxed him, and he had become so agreeable?
Indeed, Grandpa Shu was really tired.
After closing his eyes for a short while, he fell asleep and even started to snore lightly.
Ruan Jiaojiao tiptoed off the bed, put on her shoes, and looking at the man standing beside the bed, she whispered, âUncle Weiâan, shall we go out?â
Liang Weiâan shook his head, pointing first to Grandpa Shu and then to a chair to the side, indicating he would stay to watch over him.
Ruan Jiaojiao didnât quite understand, but seeing him sit down, she guessed his intention and quietly left the room on her own.
Outside, the Ruanlin Family was still standing at the door. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao come out and close the roomâs door, they immediately gave her a thumbs-up.
Indeed, she was their well-behaved treasure, taking care of the bothersome relative in just a few minutes.
