Money life

Chapter 235 Hope
As the meal approached, the old man cooked the kitchen himself. Zhang Yanjiang wanted to help, but the old man stopped him.

The old man made several dishes and a soup, Zhang Yanjiang could smell the aroma before they were ready.

After eating the meals made by the old man, Zhang Yanjiang discovered that the old man can not only write books, draw pictures, but also cook.

The food cooked by the old man was delicious. If it wasn't for the first time eating at the old man's house, and because he was not very familiar with him, he would want to eat until he couldn't eat.

He always thought that the meals made by Zhang Jianzhi and Xiao Xue were delicious enough, but compared to the meals made by the old man, the meals made by Zhang Jianzhi and the others were simply too ordinary.

The rice cooked by the old man is not inferior to the rice cooked by Uncle Zhang, even the rice cooked by Uncle Zhang is even eclipsed by the rice cooked by the old man.

After eating, the old man started to draw, Zhang Yanjiang and Bai Xinghan watched.

Watching other people's paintings is a boring thing, but they didn't find it boring when they saw the old man's paintings, but they felt that they were more than enough.

It was not until the evening that Zhang Yanjiang and Bai Xinghan bid farewell and left.

Because Zhang Yanjiang came here by taxi, Bai Xinghan asked him to take her car back when he went back, and saw him off by the way.

As soon as he got in the car, Bai Xinghan handed him a lollipop.

He took it and looked at it. The lollipop she gave him today was round.

"That day..." Zhang Yanjiang was about to apologize when he was interrupted by Bai Xinghan.

"I'm not that mean. Is your friend all right now?"

"It's okay. It was sent to the hospital in time. It's nothing serious. It's fine when the fever subsides."

"It's fine."

The two were silent.

"Can you come here more when you are free? Look at how happy Grandpa is today. He seems to like you very much." After a moment of silence, Bai Xinghan said.

"Well, I will definitely come here often in the future." Zhang Yanjiang opened the lollipop, put it in his mouth, and said.

"I haven't seen grandpa so happy for a long time." She was a little lonely.

He frowned and asked, "Isn't grandpa usually very happy?"

He went to see the old man last time and this time, and felt that he was very happy.

"Grandpa lives here by himself, and usually no one is with him, so he always feels lonely." Bai Xinghan said.

He was a little puzzled, since the old man felt lonely living here alone, why didn't Bai Yi take him home to live in?Or they moved into the home where the elderly lived, wouldn't it be nice?
It's just that it's not easy for him to ask these questions, since they are Bai Xinghan's family affairs after all.

He took the old man as Bai Yi's father as it should be.

Seeming to see through his mind, Bai Xinghan said: "I suggest that grandpa move to live in my house, so that I can be with him every day, and my parents are also there, but he is not willing, saying that he is used to living there."

"He is not my own grandfather, but an elder of my father. He helped my father before, so my father respects him very much." Bai Xinghan said.

Unexpectedly, the old man was not Bai Xinghan's real grandfather.

"Where's his family?" Since the old man is not Bai Yi's father, then he should have a family.

Bai Xinghan looked out of the car window, seemed to remember something painful, and said slowly: "Grandpa got married very late, because he didn't care about family, he only cared about art. After he became successful, he was also engaged in art all the time, and didn't want to get married."

"He didn't get married until he was in his 40s, and he had a daughter at the age of 50. The family lived happily at first, but... when his daughter was 19 years old, she traveled abroad with her mother and got into a car accident on the way to the airport."

"Because it was a truck that hit their car, their car overturned on the spot, and then they... were killed on the spot." Seemingly suffering from this incident, Bai Xinghan's eye circles were slightly red.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly optimistic old man has experienced such a thing.

"If Grandpa hadn't gone with them because he insisted on painting that day, the whole family might have..." Bai Xinghan didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was very obvious.

Zhang Yanjiang was silent, the old man who was always cheerful flashed in his mind, and he felt sorry for him very much.

How strong must he be to live such a sunny and optimistic life after losing his wife and daughter?He must hate himself for not being able to protect them well, right?

The facts were as Zhang Yanjiang expected. After learning about his wife and daughter's departure, the old man was in great pain and couldn't breathe in pain several times.

Afterwards, he fell into a depression and stopped painting every day. He even felt guilty that it was because of painting that he killed his wife and daughter.

Fortunately, during that painful time, Bai Xinghan firmly accepted the fact, acted as his daughter and stayed by his side every day, telling him that he was not alone, he still had her.

Bai Yi and Bai Yi's wife would often accompany him, chat with him, act as his children, and not let him be alone, so that he would gradually come out of sadness and despair.

Also from then on, Bai Yi became his child, and Bai Xinghan became his granddaughter.

Because Bai Xinghan grew up with his daughter, and they were about the same age, so since his daughter left, he regarded Bai Xinghan as his own daughter.

Whenever Bai Xinghan thinks about the old man, he feels very uncomfortable.

"Since this incident happened, grandpa has changed. He is strong, but also very fragile." Bai Xinghan said with a choked voice.

"For grandpa, maybe as long as he still has you, there is still hope in his life." Zhang Yanjiang wanted to comfort Bai Xinghan, but he said such a sentence unconsciously.

Bai Xinghan nodded and said, "Yes. That's why I've always been optimistic, and I've always been with Grandpa."

As she spoke, she laughed again.

It seems that she will be happy if she can be with grandpa.

Zhang Yanjiang laughed, he liked Bai Xinghan more and more.

Looking at her smiling face, his heart was beating rapidly again.

He hurriedly looked out the window, fearing that Bai Xinghan would discover his abnormality, then took a deep breath to calm himself down as much as possible.

After walking for about an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Jingdang Toys Store.

Zhang Yanjiang got out of the car and said, "Will you come in for a rest?"

"No need, it's too late, if I don't go back, my dad will look for me everywhere again." Bai Xinghan smiled and said.

"Then go back quickly, and slow down on the road."

"Okay. Then I'm leaving." She said, and waved to Zhang Yanjiang.

He waved to her too.

He didn't turn around and enter the shop until Bai Xinghan's car was gone.

"Dingling bell." The door opened, and the wind chime rang.

When he first entered the store, he was taken aback.

Zhang Jianzhi, Xiao Xue, Yang Qianqian, and Zhang Zizhe all stood by the cash register and looked at Zhang Yanjiang with a smile on their faces.

"You...why haven't you left yet?" Seeing that Yang Qianqian and Zhang Zizhe were still there, Zhang Yanjiang asked with a smile.

"Say, who was that just now? Is it your girlfriend? If I'm not mistaken, her car is a Ferrari, right?" Zhang Zizhe held a figure of Doraemon in his hand, Putting his head against Zhang Yanjiang's neck, he said in a strange way.

"Bai Xinghan. My parents know each other, and Qianqian also met." Zhang Yanjiang pulled Doraemon away without hiding anything.
