Chapter 1270 Smart Man
Madam Liang smiled and said, "Don't joke like that with the younger generation. Liang Cheng, your grandfather and I really do want to come here for recuperation. Also, we wanted to visit Linghua and meet her parents."
Liang Cheng was surprised, "We can go to the Inner Province for Linghua's parents too."
Old Master Liang shook his head. "You're at a crucial moment right now. If I go, many of my former students and followers will think I'm there to support you! Wouldn't all your efforts over the years be wasted then?"
While paving the way for one's own juniors is something many people do, it shouldn't be done too obviously. Besides, his presence would make things difficult for those who came before him, which would ultimately be detrimental to Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng suddenly realized, "Grandpa, I see. But it's cold where we are in winter, so it's good for you to come here to recuperate. I can come here for five or six days every month and visit you often."
Madam Liang smiled, "It's perfect that your Grandma Fu is here too; she's the matchmaker. With her here, along with Linghua's parents, aunts, and others, we'll try our best to finalize your marriage before the New Year."
Liang Cheng's heart was burning with excitement. They were engaged this year, and getting married next year seemed like a natural progression. Ever since they started dating, he hadn't wanted to be single anymore. He had already bought the engagement ring.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for all your trouble." Liang Cheng expressed his gratitude, thanking his grandparents for their advanced age and for going to such lengths to arrange his marriage.
Madam Liang beamed, "If you can help your grandfather and me hold our great-grandson soon, then please make us happy with everything you do. Your grandfather and I will handle the initial arrangements. Once everything is settled, have your parents come over so we can get things done properly."
Liang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Yes. By the way, Grandma, what brings Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu here?"
Grandpa Liang chuckled, "Those two are just here for the fun of it. Anyway, Old Xu has been like this since he was young. He may not be the smartest, but he has a good eye for people and knows how to choose sides. Over the years, Old Fu and I both made some mistakes, but he's been very skillful and never made a wrong choice. Now that he sees Old Fu and me here for recuperation, how could he not come, given his tendency to join in the fun?"
Liang Cheng was surprised, "Grandpa Xu is amazing, that's what a smart person is."
"Good news? They run away fast. Bad news? They run away even faster." Old Master Liang chuckled. "Since you've come along, you might as well keep me company, so others won't speculate wildly."
Liang Cheng asked curiously, "But you came together. To outsiders, wouldn't that look like you've formed an alliance?"
Grandpa Liang's eyes showed satisfaction. "You figured it out?"
Liang Cheng was taken aback. "Grandpa, are you serious? Even if we form an alliance, the two families are too powerful, and it's easy to make mistakes."
Grandpa Liang waved his hand and chuckled, "There's an opening at the Xu family's place, but they don't have a suitable person, so I had your uncle go. I'll have to repay the favor when the Xu family needs someone in the future."
Liang Cheng suddenly realized, "With this connection, coming to the sanatorium together won't stand out so much. Besides, we're not the only ones coming to the south for sanatoriums in the winter."
Just two days after the two families met, the same conversation was taking place in the Xu family's car.
Madam Xu sighed, "Xu Feng, this is how our relationship with both families is; you know that. By the way, how are things going with Xiao Wan? When are you getting engaged?"
Xu Feng chuckled awkwardly, "Grandpa and Grandma, we're talking about it right now. The engagement is still a long way off, let's wait a bit longer."
Madam Xu sighed regretfully, "Oh, Liang Cheng got engaged before the Lunar New Year. I'm so envious!"
Grandpa Xu tried to stop him, saying, "He's awake. Our Xu Feng is doing very well. After all, a relationship is for a lifetime. No matter what, we must make Xu Feng happy."
Grandma Xu was both amused and exasperated. "At home, you're even more anxious than I am. But now that you've seen your grandson, you act like the good guy the moment I say something."
"This can't be rushed," Grandpa Xu said with a smile, patting Xu Feng on the shoulder. "You've done a good job lately, keep up the good work. As long as your partner has a clean background, your grandma and I will be happy to let you marry him. Just think it through!"
Xu Feng was deeply moved. With his grandparents' support, he felt more at ease about marriage. "I understand, Grandpa and Grandma. I will look for a partner carefully."
Grandpa Xu laughed heartily, “That’s right. You just haven’t met the right girl yet. We’re here mainly to recuperate. I’m clearly younger than Old Fu, and I used to be healthier than him. But since I started recuperating here last year, I’m actually more relaxed than him. That’s my main purpose for coming here.”
Compared to the Liang and Xu families, who each had their own agendas, the Fu family's situation was much warmer.
Madam Fu asked with a smile, "Fu Chen, are Meilan and the child, and your mother-in-law's family all well?"
Fu Chen replied with a smile, "Okay, I'm very happy every day. I'm not home often, so Meilan is sometimes busy, and sometimes my mother-in-law helps take care of the children. Especially after starting school here, her progress has become even more obvious."
Grandpa Fu nodded in agreement, "Your mother-in-law has gone to great lengths; you must remember that and always respect them. Be even better to Meilan, and don't quarrel with your wife. Actually, that's just making yourself angry. In life, solve problems as they arise, and don't argue about right and wrong."
This is the old man's lifelong philosophy of life in his relationship with his wife.
He accepts it if his wife contributes more at home and in a better way. He can't let her act like a chauvinist and superior at home just because she holds a high position and is powerful outside.
“Grandpa, I should learn from your valuable experience and philosophy of life,” Fu Chen said with a smile. “Actually, you don’t need to think so much about many things; just follow your heart.”
After chatting about the philosophy of life for a while, Grandpa Fu asked, "Meilan said last night that she would come to pick us up, but she didn't come today. Is something urgent?"
Fu Chen said with a slight embarrassment, "She was a little tired last night!"
Madam Fu was taken aback, then patted the old man on the shoulder, "Young people, don't ask. There's always a reason why they wouldn't come. It's good that Fu Chen came to pick us up."
Grandpa Fu was surprised, then laughed, "Well, with the family planning policy now, otherwise... never mind, this is fine. You have two children, that's not bad."
Madam Fu asked curiously, "By the way, Fu Chen, I heard that Meilan's third sister-in-law is also pregnant with twins! Is there a secret to it?"
Fu Chen shook his head. "There might not be a secret; it could be genetic."
Madam Fu didn't believe it. "Our Fu family has almost no twins. That must be due to the good genes from the Liu family."
“Yes, both the Liu and Xie families have ancestors who had it.” Fu Chen smiled. “As long as the child is healthy, everything else is fine.”
Grandpa Fu nodded, "Yes! Marriage can be planned, but having children is entirely up to fate."
