Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1308 Forgetfulness is a Good Thing

In the next few days, Jiang Cheng shuttled back and forth between Sihai Courtyard and his great-grandfather's courtyard.

During this period, Jiang Cheng did not go out even when Wang Congcong or Shen Lang invited him.

After all, the elders are all there, so you can go out and have some fun by yourself.

Occasionally, I still have to go back and show up for meals.

Plus, Su Wan finally got a few days off.

These past few days, Jiang Cheng has been concentrating on staying by her side.

It was not until the morning of the 29th that she returned to her hometown from Kyoto Airport.

After arriving at my great-grandfather’s courtyard.

I saw my mother followed by an auntie, who was carrying a lot of things in her hands.

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth and shouted: "Mom"

Li Yan glanced at Jiang Cheng after hearing this: "You are dressed so handsomely today?"

"No, there's no day your son isn't handsome?? You're going out??"

Hearing this, Li Yan nodded and said, "Well, I'll be out for a while. By the way, your Uncle Qiu is here, Xiao He is also inside, and her cousins ​​are also there. Go in and take a look."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng did not show much interest.

I haven't seen my mother these days.

Jiang Cheng asked.

"Mom, where have you been? I haven't seen you these days."

"I'm going to Xiangshan."

"Xiangshan, isn't that a park? The sun is about to set, you still want to go to the park?"

Li Yan shook her head: "I'm not going to the park. I'm going to the nursing home to see your grandpa."

Hearing this, the expression on Jiang Cheng's face froze instantly, and then he looked completely confused.

"What did you say? I actually have a grandfather?" Jiang Cheng widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.

Li Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw her son's surprised reaction, and said jokingly: "Of course, do you think your mother jumped out of a crack in the rock?"

"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't visited him since I came to Kyoto? This...this..." Jiang Cheng looked at his mother in astonishment.

Li Yan gently waved her hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I know you know the etiquette, your grandpa and the others will understand, wait until the time is right, then you can go."

My thoughts involuntarily drifted back to my childhood.

At that time, he didn't understand what it meant to be truly confused.

Jiang Cheng remembered that he once curiously asked his mother Li Yan: "Why do other children have grandparents, but I don't?"

Every time when Li Yan heard this question, her expression would become somewhat complicated.

After hesitating for a second, he just told Jiang Cheng helplessly: "Your grandparents live in a very far place. They like a quiet life and don't want to be disturbed by others."

For a long time, the five words "very far away" automatically transformed into another meaning in the depths of Jiang Cheng's young heart.

That is, grandparents have passed away...

However, she only told him at this moment that her grandparents were actually in Kyoto? ?

"Then I'll go with you?"

Li Yan waved her hand and said, "No, don't go yet. Go next time."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was a little depressed.

Li Yan waved her hand at him: "You are just a kid, don't think too much, just go and play..."

Looking at his mother's back as she walked inside, Jiang Cheng was suddenly speechless.

It was Jiang Cheng’s first time in Kyoto, and to be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with it.

Although it was the same as in Rongcheng, there were still many things that he didn't need to do.

But when I was in Chengdu, at least I could see my parents when I went home.

However, during the few days in Kyoto, not only his mother, but even Jiang Jianmin was nowhere to be seen.

The two grandfathers in the family were very busy.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going in the reception room, and countless people came to give gifts.

It can be said that everyone in the family, except Jiang Cheng, has their own things to do.

He was the only one with nothing to do, and became a real idler.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, then walked towards the inner room.

Before he even reached the door of the living room, he yelled at the top of his voice: "Grandpa, Second Grandpa."

Before he finished speaking, the hearty laughter and responses of the two grandfathers could be heard from inside the house: "My dear grandson, here we come!"

Then, Qiu Zheng's voice came over: "Jiang Cheng is back!"

Hearing Qiu Zheng's words, Jiang Cheng smiled and responded gently, "Uncle Qiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng followed suit and stepped into the threshold of the reception room.

The moment he stepped in, he quickly glanced around.

In the reception room, besides Qiu Zheng and Qiu Yihe, there was also an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit sitting on a sandalwood chair.

He had an upright posture and a serious expression, revealing an air of majesty.

Next to the old man sat two other girls of average looks.

As his eyes swept over him, Qiu Yihe smiled and nodded at him in greeting.

The other two girls' eyes fell on her at the same time.

When their eyes met, one could see a hint of surprise flash across their eyes.

Obviously, he looked impressed by his own handsomeness.

There is no way, after all, Jiang Cheng’s appearance is 93 points.

He is already considered a great figure among boys.

At this time, Jiang Cheng's grandfather noticed his arrival and quickly introduced him: "This is your uncle Qiu's uncle, General Qiu Wu, and his other two granddaughters."

After he finished speaking, before Jiang Cheng could speak, the old man with white hair immediately stood up when he saw this.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Jiang Cheng, and after looking him up and down, he said cheerfully: "You are the grandson of Brother Jiang. You are such a handsome man. I am so happy to see you."

Jiang Cheng remembered chatting with his father a few days ago.

Jiang Jianmin's evaluation of Qiu Zheng's cousin is that he is a fence-sitter.

Seeing that his father was not there, Jiang Cheng suddenly understood.

Although he had a preconceived impression in his mind, Jiang Cheng still maintained a humble and polite attitude, smiled and nodded at the other party, and said: "General Qiu, you are really flattering."

Qiu Wu quickly waved his hands and laughed heartily, "Haha, don't be so polite, just call me Uncle Qiu!"

Then, Qiu Wu turned around and introduced the two granddaughters standing beside him to Jiang Cheng.

"Come, Jiang Cheng, let me introduce you. This is my eldest granddaughter, named Qiu Li." He pointed to the girl on the left.

Then he pointed to the girl on the right and said, "This is my granddaughter, about your age, named Qiu Ya."

Although Jiang Cheng remembered that the two of them looked similar when he took a quick glance just now.

But when he heard the name "Qiu Ya", Jiang Cheng's heart moved and he subconsciously looked at her carefully.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Ya's face actually showed a hint of shyness and blush.

She even smiled a little, then quickly turned her head away like a shy little girl.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng cursed in his heart: "Damn it!"

Give me back Qiu Ya!!

They are all family, so why are there so many genetic differences between these two and Qiu Yihe?

Seeing Jiang Cheng staring at Qiu Yihe, Qiu Wu seemed to suddenly remember Qiu Yihe's existence.

Then he added with a smile: "Oh, by the way, there is no need for me to introduce Yi He, you two should have known each other for a long time."

Seeing Qiu Wu's completely different attitudes towards Qiu Yihe and the other two people, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized something.

He finally understood why Qiu Zheng chose to join his father.

Seeing this, the great grandfather said to Jiang Cheng: "Don't stand, sit down..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded quickly, then walked to the chair next to Qiu Yihe without hesitation and sat down.

After sitting firmly, Jiang Cheng turned his head, looked at Qiu Yihe with a smile, and asked softly: "What have you been busy with these two days?"

His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone around him to hear clearly.

Qiu Yihe didn't expect Jiang Cheng to take the initiative to talk to her in front of so many people.

Her cheeks instantly flushed, but deep down she was filled with gratitude towards Jiang Cheng.

You know, these two cousins ​​of hers have always been Qiu Wu’s favorites since they were young.

Qiu Wu doted on them both and treated them like treasures.

Not only did he personally arrange schools for them, but he also supervised their studies at all times.

Even after Qiu Li graduated, Qiu Wu found her a job in an office in the city.

Although Qiu Zheng has returned to Kyoto because of Jiang Jianmin, Qiu Wu's attitude towards them has also improved.

However, whenever Qiu Wu was with his two cousins, he always seemed to ignore Qiu Yihe intentionally or unintentionally.

Qiu Yihe raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "I didn't go anywhere else, I was just strolling around nearby."

Seeing Qiu Wu's eyes fall on Jiang Cheng.

The grandfather sitting in the middle seemed to have noticed this as well. He slowly said, "Qiu Wu, my grandson rarely goes out to meet people. Strictly speaking, you are the first person to officially meet him."

Qiu Wu was obviously a little surprised when he heard what his grandfather said. He quickly withdrew his gaze and the smile on his face faded a little.

He immediately smiled and nodded at the great grandfather and said, "Really? It's such an honor."

The great grandfather did not respond to Qiu Wu's words. He just leaned back on the armchair that smelled of agarwood and took a leisurely puff of the cigarette in his hand.

The smoke slowly rose, blurring his face, but his sharp eyes remained fixed on Qiu Wu.

Qiu Wu's originally smiling face suddenly froze when he became aware of the great-grandfather's gaze, and the smile disappeared instantly.

The muscles on his face were tense and stiff, and his eyes began to move rapidly, as if he was wondering if he had said something wrong.

The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly became solemn, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Jiang Cheng's originally casual sitting posture became upright in an instant. He straightened his body and stared at his grandfather.

Although my great grandfather is very old, his majestic aura when he frowns is still not to be underestimated.

A powerful aura of superiority emanated continuously from him, like an unshakable mountain, making people feel endless pressure.

Jiang Cheng even noticed that beads of sweat began to appear on Qiu Wu's forehead. This subtle change was particularly obvious against his serious expression.

Qiu Wu's appearance at this moment was completely different from the casual look he showed when he asked Jiang Cheng to call him Uncle Qiu just now.

Like a disturbed golden toad, his whole body exuded an air of tension and uneasiness.

Even the three girls standing by, whose originally relaxed expressions became nervous under the great grandfather's gaze.

They all seemed to be able to feel the heavy pressure and fell silent at the same time.

Just like that, the great grandfather stared at Qiu Wu with his eyes as sharp as torches. Time passed by minute by minute, but the silence of more than ten seconds made people feel as long as a century.

Finally, Qiu Wu seemed to understand what his great grandfather meant. He slowly lowered his head and spoke with a trembling body.

"Brother Jiang, you know that I am not as strong as you, and my memory is even worse. If you see a relative's grandson in someone's family, I may have seen him, but if he greets me when walking outside, I may not be able to recognize him.

After saying this, Qiu Wu smiled awkwardly.

Hearing this, his grandfather remained silent, but Jiang Chenghong on the side suddenly spoke.

His voice was gentle and kind, with a hint of the vicissitudes of life, as he spoke slowly.

"At our age, our bodies are not as strong as they were when we were young, and we can't do much. Besides, people tend to forget things when they get old, which is actually a good thing. Being forgetful will prevent us from being bothered by trivial things, and it can make us more peaceful. You see, people like my eldest brother who have a good memory are not good. He can remember every little thing, so he naturally has a lot of troubles every day."

As Jiang Chenghong spoke, he laughed, and that smile seemed to reveal a kind of helplessness and mockery towards life.

However, his words did not make Qiu Wu feel relieved at all.

On the contrary, a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Qiu Wu's forehead and slid down his cheeks.

Because he knew very well that what Jiang Chenghong said was not just casual chat.

This was clearly a hint to him to keep his mouth shut and not reveal anything that shouldn't be said.

Otherwise, given his eldest brother's character, he would definitely not let him go easily.

Qiu Wu's throat was a little dry. He swallowed hard, then nodded and said, "You're right, you're right. When you're old, you can drink tea, take a walk, and then come here to chat with you. This is a leisurely and comfortable life."

Seeing Qiu Wu suddenly become so cautious.

Qiu Li and Qiu Ya couldn't help but look at each other. When their eyes met, there was a hint of doubt and some imperceptible dissatisfaction.

However, in sharp contrast to them, Qiu Yihe and Qiu Zheng did not show any strange expressions.

After Qiu Wu said those words, the great grandfather's expression eased a little.

He said with a fake smile: "Drink tea."

Hearing this, Qiu Wu was obviously relieved and quickly responded, "Okay, okay..."
