Chapter 59 Part 1
After Li Wei gave the couple the gifts, he went straight to Zhang Man. Zhang Man immediately picked up her bag from the empty seat beside her, which was originally reserved for him.
She looked at the old lady awkwardly.
She had never been an extroverted person, and she couldn’t figure out how to be social. I should ask him to greet her. She felt a little strange about it. She was a few seats away from the elders and she was between them.
If he doesn’t greet her, then that’s weird… After all, Zhang Huifang had just said that this was her boyfriend.
Li Wei probably just asked Zhang Huifang who the people around the table were. He stood up on his own, and without consulting with her, he went to say hello grandma, and greeted the two aunts and some of the uncles.
His smile was gentle and proper.
Zhang Man was shocked.
Today, he carefully shaved himself and dressed well. He was smiling since he came in. He was like a decent, polite and educated upbeat youth.
No one could tell that he was diagnosed with moderate depression a few days ago.
She didn’t even know about how he made careful preparations for this.
In fact, when she told him when he should come in, she didn’t tell him much. Zhang Man felt very helpless in making everything workout for Zhang Huifang.
She just didn’t expect him to take it so seriously.
Zhang Man knows that he probably wants to make a good impression on her “new family” so that she won’t feel out of place in the new family.
Her heart was touched, and her hand under the table gently grasped the youth’s clothes.
It was not an intimate action, but it was a close one.
He was such a lonely and introverted person. He always learned ways to adjust himself for her.
The old lady listened to the words “grandma” and her eyes narrowed with a smile. She stood up swiftly, and changed from her seat two chairs away to their side.
The old lady took two thick red envelopes out of her pocket and gave one to each of them.
Zhang Man opened her mouth. She didn’t expect the old lady to give her a red envelope, and she also gave one to him.
While she was still in a daze, Li Wei reached out and took the red envelope. He put one of them in her hands. He patted her head and said, “Man Man, why are you daydreaming? Shouldn’t you thank grandma?”
Zhang Man said thank you in a daze and saw the old lady wink at them.
“Man Man, is this young man your third peace charm?”
After listening to her words, Zhang Man was shocked for a long time before she could think of a response. She was talking about the three peace charms she gave to Zhang Huifang. There were originally only two, but Uncle Xu thought of Li Wei and asked his mother for one more.
Old people at this age were powerful.
Zhang Man smiled and nodded, a little embarrassed.
The old lady was very happy. ⭑･ﾟﾟ･*:༅｡.｡༅:*ﾟ:*:✼✿ ??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ???? ?? ?????????.??? ✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑
Man Man was such a child. The old lady could see immediately that she did not take the initiative and had an introverted personality. But like her mother, she was truly kind.
She had loved children all her life, but her grandchildren were very thin. Her youngest son did not have any children until now. Her eldest daughter had a son who stayed with her ex-husband, and he hardly returned. The second daughter had a daughter, but she had been living with her son-in-law in the neighboring city for all these years, and she was not very close to her.
She thought this was the case with her son and grandchild.
Who knew that at this old age, her son made her proud and married a beautiful and generous daughter-in-law. She suddenly had a half-grown grandchild. She was so smart, charming, polite, and knew how to behave.
In fact, Zhang Man was still a little embarrassed. She originally wanted Li Wei to come to add to the table head count and she was going to say that he was her classmate.
Who knew her mother would be dumb and say it in a loud voice.
She had been a high school teacher in her previous life, and also worked as the head teacher for a while. The most common problem she had to discuss with the parents, aside from their child’s grades, was puppy love… She knew that most parents hate puppy love.
However, despite feeling embarrassed, she and Li Wei were not just puppy love.
In the future, they would go to college, marry and have children together. Since they were all family, they would meet sooner or later.
The old lady guessed that Zhang Man was embarrassed when she saw the stiff smile on her face.
Old people, after living for so long, might not have to attend to the guests like young people, but she always had her own way to express kindness
She went to hold Zhang Man’s hand. She tugged at her hand and asked, “Man Man, introduce him to grandma.”
