On the second day of the Chinese New Year, after having dinner at his grandmother's house, Tan Sanlin stood up reluctantly when he saw that it was completely dark and said, "Grandma Li, I have to go home."

He seemed to address the elderly according to his mood, calling her "Grandma Li" one moment and "Grandma" the next like Xiaoyu.

"Xiao Yu, try the water heater tonight. If there are any problems, you can call me anytime. I can be like Sun Wukong and appear in Grandma Li's yard with a somersault."

When he walked into the yard, he turned around and said to Xiaoyu who was standing at the door of the main room and watching him go. As he spoke, he walked to the ugly orange tree, picked an ugly orange, and played with it in his hands.

"Xiaoyu, please send Sanlin off." Grandma said to her granddaughter.

"Okay." Xiaoyu agreed and walked to the gate of the yard to wait for him.

Seeing the two of them walking out of the courtyard side by side, Ke Yongxin felt a little annoyed. How could this person be so sticky? It was not enough to follow them all day, and now it was dark, he even asked a girl to take him back.

Thinking about the fact that his wife had just agreed to go bowling and golf with him tomorrow, Ke Yongxin became increasingly angry.

"Grandma, we came back specially to accompany you this time. This day has passed, and we only have the next two days to accompany you."

"Xiaoyu even promised to play golf tomorrow. Aren't you angry?" Ke Yongxin said in an instigative manner.

"They haven't seen each other for almost four years, so let them play together for two days."

"In the past few years, Sanlin has been the one who has spent the most time with me. Whenever he has time, he comes to my place. If you don't know, you would think there is a beautiful girl hiding here."

"Do you think he likes chatting with an old lady like me? He's just worried that I'd be lonely. Especially when Xiaoyu's mother passed away, he came to my place most often, often playing chess and chatting with your grandpa."

"In the first few months after your grandfather passed away, he would come to my yard after work. Every Sunday, he would accompany me to church. Others thought he was my grandson-in-law."

"His parents joked that since they still have two sons, they might as well adopt this son as my grandson and take care of me until the end of my life."

"If I still have a granddaughter who is not married, I will definitely force her to marry him. This kid has great character and filial piety. He is sweet-talking and skillful, and he even obtained some patents."

"Grandma, why don't you go to Shenzhen with us this time? I have a four-bedroom house, which has been transferred to Xiaoyu. There are flowers planted on the front balcony and vegetables planted on the back balcony. I'm sure you will like it." Ke Yongxin said after thinking for a few seconds.

Although Tan Sanlin clung to Xiaoyu like taffy that day, it was far less significant than the few short, heartfelt words from his grandmother, which made Ke Yongxin feel that he was surrounded by danger.

It can be seen that Tan Sanlin has already won his grandmother's heart.

"I won't go. You all have gone to work, and I don't know anyone anywhere. Living alone in those buildings is so depressing."

"We have small courtyards like yours, and we also have very large courtyards." He was talking about the Ke family's old house and Jingyuan. Grandma must like those places.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Xiao Ke, have you ever thought about getting to know your love rival? He and Xiao Yu have been friends since they were young."

"If Zhai Jian hadn't acted quickly, he would have gone to Shenzhen to look for Xiaoyu right after graduating from Sanlin University."

"Grandma, don't you like me?" Ke Yongxin said a little hurt.

"Kid, how could I not like you? Although we have only known each other for one day, I can see that you are an excellent child. Not only are you handsome, but you are also very affectionate."

Grandma patted Ke Yongxin's shoulder and said gently.

"You like my granddaughter. Not only do you not mind her being divorced and raising a child, you also gave her a house worth more than 10 million yuan. I am very grateful to you, so I want to help you. Just like I wanted to help Sanlin in the beginning."

Ke Yongxin looked at his grandmother with a confused look on his face.

"If Xiaoyu had told me when she got divorced last year, I would have definitely brought her together with Sanlin. Now that you've gotten there first and have become my grandson-in-law, I certainly hope you two will be happily married."

"Grandma, how are you going to help me?" Ke Yongxin asked.

"You can get to know Xiaoyu again from an outsider. See if she is really worthy of your reckless love. See if she is the best match for you."

"For a man as outstanding as you, there must be other women who like you. If you can find out in time that you have chosen the wrong person, it is not too late to turn back now."

"Grandma, you..."

"Just listen to me." Grandma interrupted him and continued.

"I say this not because I don't have confidence in Xiaoyu, but because I know her too well. I know she is too innocent and too kind, and I'm afraid she will meet someone like Zhai Jian who doesn't know what's good. While Sanlin is still unmarried..."

After listening to it, Ke Yongxin felt that his grandmother was helping Tan Sanlin, not himself.

"It seems that grandma lacks confidence in me. Grandma, what can I do to make you have full confidence in me?" Ke Yongxin said somewhat aggrievedly.

"You are right and you are not right..." Grandma was silent.

After thinking for a while, she continued, "Why don't you accompany them to play ball tomorrow? I also like those sports. I'll go with you guys tomorrow."

An hour later, Xiaoyu came back. It was only a few minutes' walk, but they walked for an hour. In this hour, they talked a lot.

If it weren't for the conversation between his grandmother and him, Ke Yongxin would have given his wife a cold shoulder again. Although he didn't dare to give her a cold shoulder now, he still felt sulky in his heart.

The two men chatted with their grandmother for a while, and around nine o'clock, they found that their grandmother began to doze off.

Xiaoyu taught her grandmother how to take a bath using the shower, and then accompanied her grandmother to her bedroom, where the two of them lay on the bed and chatted for a while.

"Xiao Yu, if you are an unmarried girl now and have the opportunity to choose again, who would you marry? Zhai Jian? Sanlin? Or Xiao Ke?" asked grandma.

"I definitely won't choose Zhai Jian. He made me lose myself more and more."

"But I still want to thank him, because without him, I wouldn't have such a lovely daughter like Duoduo." Xiaoyu kicked Zhai Jian out without even thinking about it.

"Every step in life is not taken in vain." said the old lady.

"Grandma, if it were you, who would you choose?" Xiaoyu asked, hugging her grandmother's arm.

"I will definitely choose Sanlin. But I am not you, and you still need to walk your own path," said grandma.

"Grandma, why didn't you choose Ke Yongxin?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Because I don't know him, I feel more at ease and warm with Sanlin. I'm sleepy, you go over and sleep with him, otherwise he will think I'm instigating you to break up with him."
