Chapter 145 Life in Nan Pingshan
Nanyi turned her face away in embarrassment and muttered something.
The words were too vague, so Nanzhi couldn’t hear clearly, so he leaned closer:
“What did you say? Mom can’t hear clearly.”
Nanyi deliberately Be serious and raise your voice slightly:
"I said I'm 4 and a half years old, so I can't praise you for being cute!"
But Nanzhi was so happy that her eyes narrowed with smiles:
"Then what should I praise? I'm handsome, smart and sensible. A well-behaved genius baby?”
“Mom!”
The tips of Nan Yi’s ears were dyed red.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m shy, or I’m just too happy to be coaxed.
Nanzhi couldn't hold back, stretched out her hand to rub his face, and kissed his forehead.
Nanyi twisted her body uncomfortably, but this time she didn’t cover her forehead.
Nanzhi thought of teasing him when he saw that he was obviously very happy but still pretending to be calm.
She suddenly made a sound.
Facing Nan Yi's nervous gaze, he asked calmly:
"You have forgotten that he is already a 4 and a half year old child. Can't he kiss me anymore?"
“That, that’s still okay.”
Nanyi was so nervous that she stuttered.
It seems that she is really afraid that Nanzhi will never kiss him again.
Seeing him anxiously trying to explain, his little face turned red.
Nanzhi felt distressed and quickly stopped teasing her, and gave Baji another big kiss.
"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you."
"Mom."
My tone was so aggrieved that I was spinning.
Nanzhi felt guilty and quickly handed the black notebook to him:
"Look, what is this?"
"...What is it?"
The little cub was indeed easy to deceive, and Nan Yi was successfully diverted.
Nanzhi explained:
"My grandpa's diary, well, it's your great-grandpa."
Nanyi opened her eyes wide in surprise:
"Then what did it write? Did my great-grandpa mention me?" ”
He asked a question that sounded a bit silly.
But Nanzhi heard from these words his longing for family affection for his elderly elders.
She apologized secretly, and then answered Nan Yi's question seriously:
"Although he didn't mention it, he must know about you. Because I found out about you shortly after your great-grandfather's funeral. That's it. After all, it should be a gift from my great-great-grandfather!”
She lost her only family and gained her only family again.
Why isn’t this a kind of perfection?
Nanzhi analyzed and nodded seriously.
The convincingness in his words left Nan Yi without any doubt.
Nanyi: "Wow!"
His bright and dark eyes were shining with excitement and happiness.
Maybe he suddenly discovered that his existence seemed to be more valuable and meaningful than he thought!
“Then I also want to read Grandpa’s diary!”
"Okay, let's read it together."
Nanzhi simply put the diary upright in front of the two of them and flipped through the pages.
Nanzhi read the diary very slowly and has not finished it till now.
She tried to read between the lines to learn more about her grandfather, the mysterious old man who was silent and reserved when he was alive and did not like to express himself.
Now, she is also trying to portray the image of grandpa to her children——
Nanzhi actually didn’t know much about Nanpingshan’s past.
We only know from other people’s words that he was poor when he was young, his parents died, and later he married his wife on a blind date, opened a restaurant in a small town, and lived an ordinary life.
Later, a state banquet chef came to attend an event nearby and happened to pass by his restaurant. He thought he had good talent and asked him if he wanted to go to Yanjing to learn cooking.
He went.
Even his wife's threat of divorce could not stop his determination.
As expected, his wife left him with her children and formed a new family with another man within two months. But he didn't care. He packed a simple suitcase, closed a small restaurant, and went to Yanjing to learn skills.
After waiting many years, he came back as an old man with frost on his temples and a lonely body.
He picked up the granddaughter his son abandoned and opened a small restaurant.
Some people admire his behavior.
Some people also laughed at him behind his back, even though he had been out for so many years without even earning a coffin.
Even his own son Zhao Cheng, who had changed his name, angrily said that the old man was useless and could not leave him a huge fortune.
Nan Pingshan never mentioned how he spent these years in Yanjing.
Until Nanzhi read the diary.
She realized that her grandfather’s years in Yanjing could no longer be described as success.
He is a legend.
From being born in the sky and becoming famous in Yanjing, to being in charge of the state banquet, and having gourmets from all over the world flying in just to eat his cooking, to being betrayed by those close to him and choosing to leave in disappointment...
Half of his magnificent life is contained in this small notebook.
So, how did he not make any money?
Not only did he earn it, but he also gained both fame and wealth. Wealth and glory flowed through his palms.
It was his choice not to.
Speaking of it this way...
I bumped into Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue in front of my grandfather's grave that day. The two of them seemed to have no idea.
You know, this diary has been in their hands for a long time.
Hmm.
However, considering the couple's "all about money" temperament, I probably flipped through two pages of the diary and threw it away when they felt it was useless.
That makes sense too.
“Mom, why don’t you read it anymore?”
Nanyi suddenly asked.
It seemed that he listened with great interest.
Too.
Grandpa’s life is simply the growth history of a great male protagonist!
From an 80-year-old man to a 3-year-old child, there is no one who doesn’t love cool writing!
But...
"Little guy, this is your great-grandfather's diary, not a novel!"
Nanzhi pinched the tip of Nanyi's nose angrily.
Nanyi’s voice was piercing:
“I know.”
Nanzhi loosened his fingers and continued to turn to the next page.
Speaking casually:
"The next part should be about your great-grandfather returning to his hometown. Actually, I didn't have time to read it."
Wow.
The page turned.
Her name suddenly appeared in front of her eyes -
'The first time I saw Zhizhi, she was as thin as a cat, and she couldn't even steal food from other children. ’
‘When I came home today, I found Zhizhi secretly washing the dishes and sweeping the floor. She kept looking at me, probably because she was afraid that I would send her away. Such a young child...how can I reassure her? ’
‘Zhizhi ate two bowls of rice today, and her cheeks look fleshy, which is good. ’
‘Zhizhi doesn’t like eating cucumbers. ’
‘I gave Zhizhi too much candy and she had a toothache and went to the hospital. Don’t just indulge your children, remember! ’
‘I made caramelized apples today, and Zhizhi liked them very much. ’
‘Zhizhi wants to go to kindergarten, and I can’t even pay for the tuition. What’s the use of this ridiculous persistence? ’
‘The business in the store was very good. I bought Zhizhi a small skirt and she was very happy. ’
‘I’ve been thinking a lot about Zhizhi recently. Maybe when she is older, I can go back to Yanjing to have a look. ’
‘Zhizhi is too young. I don’t feel comfortable leaving her at home. I’ll wait until she goes to elementary school. ’
‘Walk up to junior high school...’
‘Waiting for Zhizhi to go to high school...’
