377: Grandfathers who are like playful old children.

“Niannian, how is your grandma doing in the City Name now?”

Grandma Lu was also concerned about Grandma Xiao's health.

“Thank you for your concern, Grandma Lu. My grandma is in very good health.”

“Your Grandpa Lu and I are also old comrades-in-arms with your grandma. Like her, we were also searching for your Grandparents... I never expected that we would reconnect through you now... This is all fate...”

Gu Ying and Ma Xue's expressions changed as they listened to these words.

Gu Ying had met Grandma Xiao a few times before. Grandma Xiao stayed at the Gu Family house during those days. Gu Ying felt suspicious and wanted to inquire about Grandma Xiao.

She had thought at the time that her parents and the Aunts and uncles from the other families were being so kind to Grandma Xiao because of Xiao Niannian. When they chatted then, they seemed very familiar with one another. She hadn't listened closely.

She never expected this to be the case.

No wonder Older Brother and her parents believed so strongly that Xiao Niannian was the Gu Family's biological Granddaughter. If this Grandma Xiao hadn't been their parents' Comrade-in-arms, would her parents and Older Brother have believed Xiao Niannian's background so readily?

She had also sent people to try and investigate this matter.

If someone had intentionally sent Xiao Niannian to impersonate the Granddaughter, the more secrets Xiao Niannian accessed, the more ruined the Gu Family would be once the truth came out.

Although she often harbored resentment towards the Gu Family, she clearly understood that without the Gu Family, she wouldn't have the good life she enjoyed now.

“Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu still have many comrades-in-arms in the City Name. When we have time later, we will go to the City Name, visit those comrades-in-arms, and see your grandma...”

Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu genuinely wanted to return to the place where they had fought. During the Battle of the City Name back then, they nearly lost their lives, and some comrades-in-arms remained in the City Name forever... Now that they were getting older, if they didn't go see the comrades who were still alive soon, they might not have the chance later.

“Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, you are welcome to visit the City Name as guests.” Xiao Niannian warmly invited Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.

Listening to Xiao Niannian's words, Grandpa Lu was extremely satisfied with Niannian during this time.

Originally, he had some questions related to the Military Unit that he wanted to ask Niannian, but since there were outsiders present now, he would not ask those questions.

After all, some things they could ask, but they needed to be kept confidential and not be heard by outsiders.

Soon, Lu Jing, Gu Yuan, and Gu Jin prepared a large table full of dishes.

Seeing these dishes, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, the elders were overjoyed.

“Xiao Jing's cooking skills are truly excellent.”

“Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jin's cooking skills are truly superb.”

Grandma Gu and Grandma Lu started their mutual flattery mode again, with the grandmas praising every single dish.

Xiao Niannian looked at the dishes and smiled when she saw the stir-fried shredded beef; this dish must have been cooked by Lu Jing, because she loved stir-fried shredded beef made with millet pepper, garlic cloves, cumin, and some other side ingredients.

The Older Brothers had learned the other dishes from Grandma. Back when they were in the City Name, Eldest Brother and Second Brother had studied cooking with Grandma for several days.

“The food is ready, everyone can start eating,” Gu Yuan said, smiling at everyone.

Grandpa Gu looked at Gu Yuan and said.

“Go bring up two bottles of the liquor that Precious bought for me. I want to have a good drink with your Grandpa Lu.”

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian looked at Grandpa. Grandpa was becoming more and more like an Old Mischievous Boy as he aged; he would think about drinking whenever he had the chance. Grandma always took Grandpa's liquor away, only allowing him one small cup per day.

Before, when Dad was home, Grandpa would also ask Dad to join him for a small cup, and he had previously asked her if she could drink. She actually could drink, and could handle more than a jin of Baijiu, but she had never drunk Baijiu in front of her family.

The doctors at the Military Region Hospital had told the Grandparents that they needed to control their drinking, only allowing one small cup per day, or preferably one small cup every two days. But Grandpa would try every possible way to drink. However, the key to the liquor cabinet was in Grandma's hands, and without Grandma's permission, no one dared to let Grandpa drink.

Grandpa Lu laughed loudly when he heard Grandpa Gu's words.

“Xiao Yuan, hurry up! Today, Grandpa Lu and I will have a good drink with your grandpa.”

Grandpa Lu's health was similar to Grandpa Gu's, and he was also managed by Grandma Lu, who restricted his alcohol intake. At this moment, the two old comrades-in-arms were united in thought: they just wanted to drink more.

“Bring out one pair of liquor bottles, one cup for each person. No one is allowed to drink more,” Grandma Gu instructed Gu Yuan.

“Alright.”

Gu Yuan naturally listened to Grandma. Grandpa's health truly did not allow for much drinking, and for the sake of Grandpa's health, he couldn't let him drink too much. The same applied to Grandpa Lu.

Hearing this, Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Gu exchanged a look; they communicated with their eyes.

Xiao Niannian watched them communicating in code. She raised her head, and her gaze met Lu Jing's.

Lu Jing also saw the grandpas' actions, and the corner of his mouth lifted. He saw everything, but he didn't expose them. The grandmas would surely intervene soon, and the grandpas wouldn't be able to drink much more.

Gu Ying and Ma Xue sat not far away. They felt like outsiders, even though they had been family members of the Gu Family for so many years. Although they weren't biological, in the eyes of outsiders, they were biological, they were the biological Maternal Granddaughter.

Now, being so ignored in front of the Lu Family Members, Gu Ying and Ma Xue were very angry inside, but they dared not show their dissatisfaction openly.

Grandma Gu poured the liquor for everyone. She first poured for Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Gu, only giving each of them a small cup.

“Niannian, come sit next to Grandpa.”

Hearing the old man's words, what could Grandma Gu not understand? But in front of the Lu Family Members, Grandma Gu wouldn't refuse to give face.

Xiao Niannian sat next to Grandpa. Grandpa Gu winked at his Granddaughter, signaling her to pour him some liquor.

Grandpa Lu also looked at Niannian with anticipation.

Seeing the grandpas' adorable appearance, Xiao Niannian stood up and added another small cup for each of them. Of course, this was with Grandma's consent; if Grandma disagreed, she would cough.

“That's enough, Niannian.”

Hearing Grandma's words, Xiao Niannian took the liquor bottle away and poured for the Older Brothers and Lu Jing.

Xiao Niannian looked at Gu Ying and asked.

“Aunt Gu, would you like to drink?”

Hearing Xiao Niannian call her Aunt Gu, she frowned.

By calling her this, was Xiao Niannian intentionally telling everyone that she wasn't the Gu Family's biological daughter?

Ma Xue's expression was also extremely unpleasant.

“Yes, I'll drink.”

Gu Ying smiled, and her tone was gentle.

“Younger Female Cousin, please pour me a small cup too.”

After opening one bottle of liquor, Xiao Niannian opened another and poured for all the elders.

“Precious, you can substitute tea for liquor.”

“Okay.”
