Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

Han Chunming did not disappoint Yan Jiekuang's expectations and immediately thought of Meng Xiaozao in the countryside.

He said without hesitation: "Okay, let me handle this matter! Xiao Xing has a younger sister in the countryside. That child is thoughtful and very good at taking care of people. She can also sing opera. I think the old man will definitely be satisfied. I will leave for the countryside right away and pick her up."

Yan Jiekuang expressed satisfaction with Han Chunming's answer, but at the same time believed that this matter should not be borne by Han Chunming alone.

After all, Yan Jiekuang is the grandson-in-law of the Guan family, so he should do his part for this.

So Yan Jiekuang suggested: "How about this, I'll go with you. As long as it can satisfy the old man, I'm willing to hire this child at the highest price in the market, and I will never let her suffer any grievances."

Hearing Yan Jiekuang's statement, Han Chunming decisively responded: "No need, I will pay for it. It is my duty to honor my master, and this little money is nothing."

However, Yan Jiekuang smiled and shook his head, and said half-jokingly: "That won't work. After all, this idea was mine. If you want to honor your grandfather, you'd better find other ways yourself!"

These words made Han Chunming laugh and cry, thinking that the two of them didn't need this little money at all.

But since that was the case, he didn't say anything more and drove to the countryside with the other party.

Not long after, they arrived at Meng Xiaoxing's house.

After Yan Jiekuang greeted everyone, he didn't say much. He just watched Han Chunming and Meng Xiaozao communicate silently.

Han Chunming asked softly, "Xiao Zao, Brother Wuzi has found a job for you in the city. Are you willing to go?"

When Meng Xiaozao heard that she could go to the city to work, her heart was filled with joy.

After all, Meng Xiaoxing had always told her about the beautiful things in the city, which made her yearn for it.

So she nodded without hesitation and said, "Really? Brother Wuzi! I'm willing to go. Of course I'm going!"

Things went exceptionally smoothly, and after a few words, everyone set out on the journey back to the city.

However, during this process, Yan Jiekuang said almost nothing and seemed not to be involved, but in fact, his presence or absence was crucial.

Finally arriving at Guan's house, Han Chunming took Meng Xiaozao straight to the old man without hesitation.

He said respectfully, "Master, this is the nanny that Jie Kuang and I found especially for you. From today on, she will be responsible for taking care of your daily life."

Then, Han Chunming turned to Meng Xiaozao and said, "Xiaozao, call me grandpa."

Meng Xiaozao was very well-behaved and sensible. She immediately smiled brightly from the bottom of her heart and called out sweetly, "Hello, Grandpa!"

However, Mr. Guan did not respond as enthusiastically as everyone wished.

He just stared at Meng Xiaozao silently. Not only was there no joy on his face, but there was obvious displeasure.

Grandpa Guan frowned and said stiffly, "Yesterday my precious granddaughter arranged a waiter for me, but I scolded her and she left. Why did you bring another one back today? I don't need anyone else to wait on me. Let her leave here quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and lay down on the chair, no longer looking at anyone.

Hearing this, Meng Xiaozao turned around abruptly and was about to leave. Fortunately, Han Chunming, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out and grabbed her.

Then, Han Chunming turned to Mr. Guan and said loudly, "Do you know where this girl worked before?"

Grandpa Guan asked in confusion: "Oh? Where is it?"

Han Chunming raised his voice and replied, "Let me tell you, she works in the Cultural Troupe of the Sino-Arab Friendship People's Commune! Right, Xiaozao?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Meng Xiaozao, only to see Meng Xiaozao nodding vigorously in affirmation.

Then, Yan Jiekuang also quickly chimed in, "Grandpa, whether you agree to let someone take care of you or not, why not give it a try first? What do you think?"

After that, he turned to Meng Xiaozao and whispered, "Xiaozao, sing two verses for grandpa."

Meng Xiaozao was straightforward and unpretentious. She immediately started singing the classic song: "Build a seven-star stove, boil three rivers in a copper kettle, set up an eight-immortal table to entertain sixteen people..."

The clear and pleasant singing voice is as melodious as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, which makes people intoxicated.

I have to say that Meng Xiaozao does have some of the charm of a professional singer.

Old Master Guan listened to the entire song with his eyes closed. His originally tense expression gradually relaxed, and in the end he couldn't help but hum along.

After the song was over, Grandpa Guan smiled and said to Meng Xiaozao, "Girl, you sang well! But I'm old now, how about you perform another Peking Opera for me?"

Meng Xiaozao readily agreed and immediately changed to a Pingju opera segment.

Her voice was loud and clear, and her pronunciation was clear and melodious, which won her constant praise from Mr. Guan.

Seeing that Mr. Guan was in a good mood, Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang smiled at each other.

It seems that their arrangement this time was a good bet.

Meng Xiaozao continued to sing Pingju opera, and Grandpa Guan was fascinated by it, humming along from time to time.

Seeing this, Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang quietly left the yard.

"Chun Ming, it's all thanks to you this time. The old man looks very happy."

Yan Jiekuang's face was full of smiles. This could be considered as accomplishing one thing. After all, Guan Xiaoguan was pregnant now and had difficulty moving around. She couldn't visit the old man often. He also had to take care of Guan Xiaoguan and didn't have much free time.

But now that Meng Xiaozao is here, things are different. The old man has someone to take care of him, and they can worry less.

"We are all family, so we should keep our differences. Xiaozao is indeed a very likable child. I hope she can make the old man's later years more enjoyable."

Han Chunming said with a smile.

In fact, even if Yan Jiekuang did not mention this matter, he had already had this idea in his mind.

Otherwise, when it came to how to deal with it, why did he instantly think of Xiaozao?

After all, Mr. Guan had a deep gratitude towards him.

Not only did he impart a lot of knowledge about antiques, but he also taught him many truths about how to behave in the world.

Therefore, taking care of your mentor is part of your job.

After confirming the nanny, the two of them went about their own business, while Yan Jiekuang went to the restaurant.

Ever since Guan Xiaoguan became pregnant, she still insisted on going to the restaurant to work every day. Yan Jiekuang tried to dissuade her many times but to no avail. In desperation, he had to ask his employees to take good care of her.

Whenever he had a little free time, he would rush to the restaurant and wait there doing nothing, fearing that anything unexpected would happen.
