Chapter 117: Making a Phone Call
Translator: 549690339
Li Changshan was indeed very happy, a bit emotional, as he finally had a great-grandchild. The Chu, Xiao, Li, and Qin families were all important presences in the courtyard.
The elderly from all four families had been through the war period, and now they were all retired at home. The younger generations in the four families had gotten along well, and now he was the first to become a great-grandfather. How could he not be excited?
Later, he would go and share the news with others, so they could be envious and jealous, especially that old rascal Chu Zhan.
“That’s nice. If your grandmother were still around, she would be very happy after hearing it.” Li Changshan thought that the old lady would have been the happiest to know.
After all, her favorite grandson was Li Zhao, as well as the eldest grandson of the Chu family. Unfortunately, the old man didn’t wait for Zhaozi to get married and have children.
“Grandpa, it’s something to be happy about, so don’t be sad. I believe that if my grandmother knew this, she would also be very happy,” Li Zhao thought of the loving old woman and felt heartbroken too. She was the grandmother who loved him the most.
“Alright, I won’t say more. When your parents come back, I’ll talk to them, and then I’ll call you.
You guys should come back early. Now I’m going to find my old comrades to play chess.” Li Changshan hung up the phone with a glowing face, put his hands behind his back, and went to brag to his old friends.
Li Zhao listened to the busy tone on the phone, and couldn’t help but laugh and cry. His grandfather was going to show off in the courtyard.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Qi looked at Li Zhao’s expression, which seemed a bit helpless.
“Nothing, you better make your call quickly, or your grandpa is going to chase and scold you later.” Li Zhao handed the phone to Xiao Qi.
“Why would he chase and scold me?” Xiao Qi felt that the words were a bit inexplicable.
“Because just now my grandpa hung up the phone saying he would play chess with his old friends. Now imagine, letting your grandpa know that An t an is pregnant later than my grandpa would definitely make him unhappy. And knowing it from my grandpa? Well, I think you can imagine the consequences.” Li Zhao thought about the scene, and felt a sense of schadenfreude.
“You’re so sinister,” Xiao Qi shuddered, just imagining the scene. He had to make a quick call to his grandparents to tell them about An’an!s pregnancy.
He absolutely couldn’t let them find out from Grandpa Li; otherwise, he would have to watch out for his own hide. Wasn’t that terrifying?
“Hello, is that Uncle Cai? I’m Xiao Qi. Is my grandpa there?” Xiao Qi heard the voice on the phone, which was his family’s security officer Cai Quan.
“Oh, it’s Qiqi. Yes, he’s here. Wait a second, I’ll call him to the phone.” Cai Quan put the phone on the table and went to call someone.
After waiting for a short while, the footsteps came from the receiver, and Xiao Qi thought it must be his grandpa.
“Grandson, why did it take you so long to call back? How’s that girl An’an?” Xiao Qi thought it was his grandpa, but it turned out to be his grandma who picked up the phone.
“Grandma, An’an is doing quite well here, so please don’t worry.”
“As long as she’s okay. That girl really followed Zhaozi all the way to S Province, making me worry so much.
She’s never been far from my side since she was young. But now, she’s gone so far away and doesn’t call more often.” Grandma Xiao grumbled.
Ever since An Hao left, she had been so worried that she couldn’t eat or sleep well. Now that she heard Xiao Qi say everythings alright, she finally felt a bit relieved.
“Grandma, you don’t need to worry. That girl An t an is going to be a mom, and Zhao wants to take her back for the wedding banquet.” Xiao Qi said with a smile.
“Ah, really? That’s great! It’s not all in vain that she went so far away. You should tell them to come back early, and we can take care of her. We don’t feel at ease with her by herself knowing nothing over there.” Grandma Xiao, who had just let down her guard, now began to worry again.
“Grandma, An t an is also next to me, I’ll let her talk to you.” Xiao Qi felt it’s better if the people involved could hear directly from each other..
