Chapter 346: This Family Finally Feels Like a Home
Old Mrs. Song saw Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others out.
"Moting, you should just stay at our place with Xiao Xiao. What kind of son-in-law lives in his mother-in-law's house? That's just asking to be laughed at. Also, during the wedding day, you need to attend with me."
The old lady was giving orders.
Song Moting shook his head, "Grandma, you know my dad will definitely blow up if he sees me. If the two of us meet, sparks will fly. If you're planning to ruin Song Mohuan's wedding, then I'll go.
Do you dislike Song Mohuan that much, counting on me to ruin his wedding?"
He said with a smile.
He didn't want to see his father, nor his half-brother.
They aren't brothers; from childhood to adulthood, they're more like enemies, always unable to see eye to eye.
The old lady sighed, "Don't say that, even if your father doesn't like you, it's Mohuan's wedding day. He will control himself and not cause trouble with you. Furthermore, on that day, you'll be beside me with Xiao Xiao. How would he dare to show you a bad face in front of me?
If he's not afraid of a slap from me, he can come directly. Me, even as an old mom, do you think I can't slap him anymore? You, always so thoughtless. Grandma asks you to attend the wedding, not to give face to your father or anyone.
That day, relatives and friends will come; Grandma and Grandpa's old comrades and friends will come too. You're not young anymore, you and Xiao Xiao should start cultivating your social circle.
What Grandma can do for you is limited, so I want to introduce you to everyone through this opportunity. These uncles and aunts at least still respect Grandma now. Get familiar, so if Grandma is gone someday, some will still look out for you a bit out of courtesy."
The old lady was genuinely planning for them.
Song Moting was speechless. He had his own pride, his own dignity, but he understood his Grandma meant well.
At this moment, defying the elder only to insist on his little pride would hurt Grandma's feelings.
Jiang Xiaoxiao held the old lady's arm, "Grandma, don't worry. On the wedding day, we will set off with you to attend. Grandma, you truly care about us. I really envy Moting for having a Grandma who considers and plans everything wholeheartedly for him."
Who wouldn't like hearing kind words? Although the old lady did this wholeheartedly for her grandson without any intention to show off,
she didn't need her grandson's gratitude, but hearing these words made her feel at ease.
This granddaughter-in-law not only speaks well but is also smart and sensible, even more tactful than her grandson. Actually, both kids are good kids.
Don't be fooled by Jiang Xiaoxiao being clever and slightly smooth in her actions.
But she never curries favor.
In this aspect, the old lady feels this granddaughter-in-law is a hundred times better than Fang Xiaohui.
Also the most suitable person for Song Moting.
Seeing his wife agree, Song Moting had to agree too, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely attend that day. I know you mean well for me."
The old lady nodded satisfactorily.
"Good, good! As long as you're obedient. Some things, we're not lowering our heads, we just need you to understand, if you don't go, these resources will be given to your brother by your dad. Think about it yourself, don't do something that makes friends grieve and enemies rejoice."
Song Moting chuckled.
"Grandma, that's your son, how can you say enemies rejoice? If Old Song hears you say this, he'll surely hate me even more as his son."
The old lady gave him a flick.
"You're still talking! Who am I doing this for? It's all for you even if it means sacrificing kinship."
Song Moting hugged the old lady, "Grandma, in a few days we'll move back to live with you, so you can't get annoyed with us being troublesome."
Grandma is getting old; he hadn't realized this before. But ever since marrying Jiang Xiaoxiao, seeing her grandmother's situation made him understand Grandma wasn't young anymore either.
She could pass away anytime.
He must truly show filial piety to Grandpa and Grandma, or he'll really regret it.
He didn't want to face the situation where he wishes to care for them but they don't wait.
The old lady patted her grandson; this child changed.
He used to appear gentle but was cold inside, always wary of everyone and full of resentment. Now he understands tolerance, understands cherishing; this is love changing everything.
Jiang Xiaoxiao must have changed her grandson.
"Grandma is waiting for you to move back; I've tidied up the rooms for you all, prepared a place for you at the medical college. Since today you must go back and don't have time to check it out, you can see it when you have time. If there's anything missing, Grandma will help you supplement it.
This courtyard is right next to us; it's because young people like privacy and don't like living with us older generation. That's why Grandma chose the closest courtyard, so I can pop over to your place for meals anytime.
I love the meals cooked by my granddaughter-in-law. By then, don't find Grandma annoying."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised; this is a school district house, always a priceless asset in the future densely populated Jingbei. Grandma now gave them such a valuable gift.
What virtue or ability does she have?
Her mother had been busy these days, but also mentioned buying them a courtyard nearby.
Looking from afar, that courtyard was noticeably newer than their house, freshly renovated.
Her parents arranged it very well. Both the natal and husband's family treat them so kindly. Sometimes Jiang Xiaoxiao feels she falls short of such love.
"Grandma! Look what you're saying, Grandpa isn't home, and no one to keep you company; naturally we should live with you. Isn't that right, Mr. Song?"
Song Moting chuckled, seeing his wife so soft-hearted.
"Whatever my wife says is right, look at Grandma, my wife is siding with you so much."
The old lady chuckled, smacking Song Moting's forehead.
"As if you need to say it, I already know. Xiao Xiao is genuinely caring towards us, unlike you, little ingrate! Raised you so big, never seen you worrying about Grandpa and Grandma."
She patted Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand, "I know your intentions, Grandma appreciates it. Let me tell you, your Grandpa will arrive in Jingbei tomorrow. Think about it, can your Grandpa not come back for such a big thing like his grandson's wedding?
Your Grandpa has transferred his work back to Jingbei, returning to the Jingbei military district. With his qualifications, he should've returned long ago. It's because we feel you're all returning to Jingbei, and I want to monopolize you.
He specially came back to enjoy his grandson and granddaughter-in-law's filial piety. Your Grandpa said you must prepare that peach wine for him."
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Tell Grandpa, as much as he wants! Plenty!"
The two chatted happily before leaving.
The old lady watched her distant grandson and granddaughter-in-law, feeling warm inside; this house finally feels like home.
