Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Still a Bachelor at Home
The third elder is a very thoughtful and considerate person.
"Third Grandpa," Zhao Gushen called out, "Fourth Uncle, I’d like to formally introduce you to my wife, Ye Fei, and our son, Xiao Mo."
"Third Grandpa, Fourth Uncle," Ye Fei called out.
"Third Great-grandpa, Fourth Grandpa," the little guy followed suit.
"Good boy!" The third elder’s gaze was warm as he smiled at the little guy.
Unlike the old man, who unreservedly hugged the little guy as soon as they met.
The third elder also smiled and beckoned the little guy: "Come on, I’ve prepared snacks for you early on. Your great-grandfather told me you like playing Switch."
The little guy quickly nodded: "Recently, a new game called Animal Crossing came out; Great-grandpa just bought it for me, but I haven’t had the time to play it yet."
Because during the New Year, it was just too busy.
He really hasn’t had any free time.
"Oh? That’s quite a coincidence," the third elder laughed, "Your great-grandpa told me you like playing Switch, so I also had someone buy a set and get the game too."
"Since I didn’t know what games are popular now, I had someone ask what’s trending and selling well. Coincidentally, they bought this one."
"If you want, you can play here today," the third elder said.
The little guy’s eyes sparkled, and he rubbed his hands together: "Can I? Won’t it disturb your conversation?"
"I think the game’s sound isn’t loud, unlike watching TV," the third elder said.
If it were watching TV, the TV’s sound would be loud, making chatting inconvenient.
Conversely, if the chatting sound is loud, the TV sound is small, and you can’t hear what’s being said on TV.
Video games don’t require as much focus on sound.
The little guy agreed: "Thank you, Third Great-grandpa!"
Unexpectedly, just because he came, the third elder specially bought him a Switch.
The little guy figured the third elder, not to mention having trouble with his legs.
Even if his legs were fine, he probably wouldn’t usually enjoy such games.
This was especially bought because the little guy was coming.
Moreover, the little guy might only visit once a year.
For such infrequent visits, the third elder prepared so much for the little guy.
This isn’t about the amount of money.
To the third elder, this kind of money is certainly insignificant.
What’s most important is the third elder’s thoughtfulness.
To be so considerate of the little guy.
For the little guy who only visits once a year, he prepared so much.
The little guy was deeply touched.
He didn’t immediately go to play the game.
Instead, he came up to Zhao Gushen and beckoned him over.
Zhao Gushen bent down to hear what the little guy wanted to say.
"Third Great-grandpa is really nice," said the little guy.
Zhao Gushen smiled and nodded: "Yes, the elder is very good."
"Then can I come often in the future?" the little guy asked again, "Third Great-grandpa even specifically bought me a Switch."
"If I only come once, I’d be disappointing Third Great-grandpa’s thoughtfulness," the little guy said.
Thinking about the Switch that Third Great-grandpa bought for him just sitting at home for a year unused.
The little guy felt like he was being ungrateful.
Zhao Gushen’s feelings towards the third elder and Zhao Dingli are certainly different from those towards Zhao Dingye.
He was very pleased with the little guy’s affection for the third elder’s home.
So, Zhao Gushen stood up and smiled at the third elder: "Third Grandpa, we’ll bring Xiao Mo over often."
The elder, being alone at home, is actually quite lonely.
Usually chatting with caretakers and housemaids.
When going out to bask in the sun, he prefers to go to places where there are many children.
Chatting with the kids.
Upon hearing Zhao Gushen say this, how could he refuse?
The third elder nodded eagerly: "Sure, sure."
The little guy, already very comfortable, ran to the third elder.
Plopped right onto the third elder’s lap, snuggling in his arms.
"Third Great-grandpa, you’re really nice," the little guy said in the third elder’s arms.
The third elder’s smile deepened the wrinkles on his face.
"You said it, you have to come often," the elder laughed, hugging the little guy.
The little guy nodded enthusiastically.
Ye Feixin thought that if the old man heard these words.
Seeing the little guy getting along so well with the third elder, the old man would definitely jump in rage.
He might even jump up high and argue with the third elder.
Ye Feixin thought, third elder must not know this.
"Yes!" the little guy nodded vigorously, "I’m true to my word."
The little guy didn’t feel shy at all and directly snuggled up to the third elder.
After snuggling a while with the third elder, the little guy finally climbed down from the elder’s lap.
With the help of the housemaids, they turned on the TV, connected it, and started playing there.
Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei sat on the sofa.
The third elder remained in his wheelchair and did not get up.
Ye Feixin just realized she hadn’t seen Zhao Dingli’s wife?
She forgot to ask Zhao Gushen about this.
She just thought Zhao Dingli, being Zhao Gushen’s fourth uncle, surely must be married with a wife.
So she didn’t ask.
Wondering why she didn’t come today?
Taking advantage of Zhao Dingli giving the little guy a greeting gift, Ye Feixin secretly asked Zhao Gushen: "Where’s Fourth Aunt?"
Fortunately, the third elder’s hearing isn’t sharp due to his age.
Ye Feixin spoke softly, and the third elder indeed didn’t hear.
Zhao Gushen laughed: "Fourth Uncle isn’t married."
"Not married?" Ye Feixin’s eyes widened in surprise.
She assumed that since Zhao Dingli is Zhao Gushen’s fourth uncle, and not young anymore, he’d definitely be married.
That’s why she didn’t ask.
But unexpectedly, Fourth Uncle is still single.
And the third elder doesn’t pressure him?
She knew the third grandmother had passed away.
But with such a bachelor in the family, the grandmother ought to be anxious.
When explaining to Ye Feixin, Zhao Gushen didn’t avoid the third elder.
He explained in a normal volume: "Third Grandpa and Third Grandma were married for many years, but she couldn’t conceive."
Upon hearing Zhao Gushen’s introduction, the third elder voluntarily continued to explain: "At first, we were young and not worried."
"But as we approached thirty, we felt we should have a child. Otherwise, with your third grandma’s age advancing, she’d be a high-risk mother, and childbirth would be risky."
"Who knew that when we didn’t want children before, we didn’t pay attention, but once we earnestly wanted one, there was no progress."
"At first, we were quite anxious, but even so, we never considered IVF."
