Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A few days later, Grandpa Zhang, an old friend of Old Master Zhou, came to visit.
“Hey, Old Zhang! What brings you to my place? I heard that you went on a trip a while ago?”
Old Master Zhou personally went downstairs to greet Grandpa Zhang.
“Yeah! The children at home started a travel agency, but I don’t know if it will work. I went out with my kids to fool around. Some time ago, I asked their tour guides to take me to the Southern Islands for a tour.”
At this time, the travel agency industry was just starting to take off. Many people were watching, but they did not know that this industry would become a hot and popular industry in the future.
“You’re doing quite well, Old Zhou! Your grandson is married, and I heard that you have a great-grandson now!”
The two of them immediately started to brag to each other.
“Yeah, I can be considered to have four generations in my family now. Let’s not stand outside and talk. Let’s go inside and I’ll make you a cup of tea. This tea is my treasure, and I don’t usually let people drink it when they come. You can also take a look at the fourth generation of our family!”
“Okay, okay, okay. There’s the tea to drink and a little grandson to play with. Why wouldn’t I be happy?!”
The two old men entered the house.
“Yun Lian, bring the child over for Grandpa Zhang to take a look,” Old Master Zhou instructed Yun Lian.
Yun Lian’s arm had been strained during this period of time, so she was unable to bring the child over. When the child first came here, the daily necessities were not especially well prepared. At this time, the midwife went out to buy diapers for the child.
Zhou Lin went to work in the military district. Now, the only labor force in the family was only Yun Xi!
“I’ll go and help you bring the child over!”
Yun Lian did not refuse. She felt that if the child was shown to the elders, they would eventually receive some greeting gifts.
No matter how much Yun Xi hated the mother and son, she did not dare to hurt the child in front of Grandpa Zhou.
“Oh my, this child seems very strong. He looks very cute,” Grandpa Zhang first praised.
He picked up a rattle from the sofa and began to shake it at the child. The child in his arms was entertained by the rattle, and his saliva flowed down his cheeks to the saliva towel on his chest.
“Why is this child drooling so much?” Grandpa Zhang asked in confusion.
“He’s just a child. He drools when he doesn’t have teeth. It’s not a big deal.”
Grandpa Zhou was also playing with the child. When he saw the child drooling, he did not feel anything unusual. He felt that this was how a child should look like.
“Old Zhou, let me tell you. I raised my grandson by myself. I also know a lot about parenting. It’s normal for a child to drool, but it’s not normal for him to drool all the time.”
Hearing Grandpa Zhang say this, Old Master Zhou did not care. He felt that Grandpa Zhang was too nervous and was just trying to scare him.
“Now these parenting experts keep changing their opinions on what is good. In our times, we could raise a child who could stutter and grow up healthily. Now, this child’s nutrition is very good. Won’t he grow up smoothly? Don’t be too nervous.”
After saying this, Old Master Zhou continued to tease the child.
“Xingxing, be good. Say ‘great-grandfather’.”
Old Master Zhou leaned into the child’s embrace and asked the child to call him ‘great-grandfather’.
However, the child in his embrace only knew how to giggle foolishly. He did not understand what the adults meant at all. When Yun Xi saw the child in his embrace giggle foolishly, she felt that he was especially cute. Then, she touched the child’s cheek and had a bad premonition.
“This child still can’t speak?” Grandpa Zhang asked nervously.
“I think so. I’ve never heard this child say ‘mommy’ or ‘daddy’.”
“Hey, Old Zhou. Don’t take it lightly anymore. This child keeps drooling. Is there something wrong with his throat?! He still can’t speak until now. Is he mute?!”
Grandpa Zhang patted his thigh nervously.
“My eldest daughter-in-law is now the director of the pediatrics department in our community hospital. I have her business card here. Take the child to have a look! It’s best if there’s nothing wrong. If there really is an illness, it’s good to find out early and treat it!”
Old Master Zhou started to take it seriously. He took the business card from Grandpa Zhang and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
