Chapter 479: Being Urged to Get Married
When Old Lady Qin saw that the topic had been diverted by Qin Yuanqing, she also started talking about it.
Qin Hongyuan was worried that Ren Xueer couldn't wait, so he secretly sent a text message to Ren Xueer while Old Lady Qin and Qin Yuanqing were talking.
Ren Xueer was waiting for Qin Hongyuan to come back bored. When she received the text message from Qin Hongyuan, she pouted and said nothing.
After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren finished chatting, the meal was ready immediately. The servants were given supplements and started to eat. Qin Hongyuan called the Qin family's housekeeper to the table to eat together. Also eating with the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren was Aunt Chen, the servant who had been taking care of Old Madam Qin.
Qin Yuanqing treats Aunt Chen very closely, as he is the child who grew up under Aunt Chen's care.
The five masters and servants started eating at the dinner table. In fact, even if Qin Yuanqing and Qin Hongyuan did not return to the Qin family's old house for dinner, Old Lady Qin would still ask Aunt Chen and the housekeeper to come to the table to eat together, otherwise it would be too lonely for her to eat alone.
"I asked the kitchen to make this especially for you. Didn't you love it when you were a kid? In order to take care of you, our family hasn't changed the chef for decades. Come and try it and see if it tastes the same as when you were a kid."
Old Mrs. Qin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Qin Yuanqing's bowl, then urged him to eat.
"It's the same. It still tastes as good as when I was a kid."
"If it tastes good, eat more. Next time you come back, grandma will ask the people in the kitchen to make it for you."
"Grandma, you eat too."
Qin Yuanqing also helped to pick up some dishes and put them in the bowl of Mrs. Qin. "This is the tonic that Dad brought you. Grandma, I'll scoop some soup for you. You can drink it after it cools down."
After Qin Yuanqing served the soup to Old Lady Qin, he also served a bowl to the other three people at the table.
Seeing that Qin Yuanqing was so sensible, Aunt Chen naturally wanted to praise him in person in front of Old Lady Qin.
"Yuan Qing is so sensible. Seeing him grow up to what he is now, the old lady is so lucky that he is so filial. If he brings his granddaughter-in-law back with him when he returns to the old house next time, we will be even happier."
Aunt Chen had always been taking care of Old Madam Qin, and she knew very well what was on Old Madam Qin's mind. So instead of making Old Madam Qin unhappy, what Aunt Chen said actually expressed Old Madam Qin's thoughts.
Qin Yuanqing saw that they were all urging each other to get married, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he shouldn't have come to the old house today.
He also knew that Aunt Chen told him these things because of Old Lady Qin's intention. He had just changed the subject in front of Old Lady Qin. Qin Yuanqing thought that if he didn't explain these things clearly to them, maybe they would catch him and ask him about them every time he returned to the old house.
So in order to prevent such things from happening again, Qin Yuanqing thought it would be better to explain everything to them.
"Grandma, Aunt Chen, don't worry, I'm so handsome and I'm popular outside, you don't have to worry about me not being able to find a girlfriend."
Old Mrs. Qin was displeased. "If the market is so good, why don't you bring someone back when you come to see me? Don't lie to us. We are a family and there are no outsiders here. If there is really no one pursuing you, don't be embarrassed to tell us. Grandma will help you find someone."
"Grandma, you don't believe me. Don't you know my strength and appearance? How could I not have anyone chasing me? You are looking down on me too much if you say that."
"Humph, if that's what I told you, why haven't you brought any girls back to see me in all these years? You only know how to say those things to coax others. I thought you had never been in a relationship since you became an adult."
"How could that be? Our family's status and position are here. Even if I'm a fool, there will be a lot of girls coming up to me, right? Then shouldn't I get along with others properly? I have to know that girls are not coming for our Qin family's status, but for me as a person."
"After all these years, haven't you figured out how to interact with other girls? I think you've just been making excuses."
"How could that be, grandma? I'm worried too. Isn't it because I haven't met the right person? Otherwise, I wouldn't be single all the time and not bring someone back to show you. Every time you nag me, I don't just find someone to deal with you, right?"
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were about to argue, Qin Hongyuan interrupted and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. It's rare that we all come back to have dinner with you, why do you want to bring up those unhappy things? Be careful that Yuan Qing won't come back to see you next time."
"Who wants him to come back to see me? Bringing my granddaughter-in-law back is the most important thing! I still want to be a great-grandmother. If he is like this, I may not be able to see him get married until I die."
"Grandma, I'd be sad if you said that."
Seeing that Old Lady Qin was getting angrier and angrier, Aunt Chen also hurriedly helped Qin Yuanqing and said, "Why blame me for not eating well? Yuanqing is an obedient and sensible child. He knows what's going on. Besides, boys should focus on their careers, right? Our Qin family has such a big business. Yuanqing must learn how to manage it well. By then, he will be able to find any kind of girl!"
The housekeeper also tried to persuade her: "Yes, the old lady is in such good health, don't get upset. A blessed person like you will definitely live a long life. You will definitely see our Yuan Qing get married and have children."
Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade her, the old lady stopped being angry with Qin Yuanqing.
After seeing that Old Lady Qin was persuaded to stay, Qin Yuanqing immediately ran to her and acted nicely: "Grandma, just stay at home and enjoy your life. If there is a suitable one, I will definitely bring it back to you, right?"
"That's more like it. Forget it. You and your father finally came back. Let's just have a happy meal."
"Yes, Mom, eat quickly. They will get cold soon. If these dishes are cold, they will not taste good if you heat them up again."
The meal took a long time to finish. If Old Lady Qin hadn't urged Qin Yuanqing to get married, the meal might have ended faster. But who knew that they had wasted so much time just talking.
On the other side, Ren Xueer had already become impatient waiting for Qin Hongyuan to finish his meal. Qin Hongyuan had filled his stomach but Ren Xueer's stomach was still empty.
No matter how impatient she was, Ren Xueer did not dare to urge Qin Hongyuan.
Qin Hongyuan also knew that Ren Xueer had been waiting for a long time, so he left with an excuse not long after he finished eating with Old Lady Qin.
Qin Yuanqing thought something had happened because he looked so hurried. He saw that the place Qin Hongyuan left was not the gate of the Qin family's old house, so he found an excuse and followed him out of curiosity.
As soon as Qin Hongyuan left, he came to the small western-style building behind the main house. Ren Xueer heard footsteps and came out from inside.
When she saw that it was Qin Hongyuan coming, she immediately stepped forward and complained: "Why did you take so long? I was so hungry, you see my stomach has deflated."
"I just finished dinner with the old lady. Come on, I'll take you out to eat!"
