Chapter 141 Old Man
Chapter 141 Old Man
Jiang Cheng thought of the old man who was in seclusion, looked at Jiang Chenxi beside him, and decided to take the baby to see the old man...
The sun was shining brightly that day, and Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, each bringing their own children, came to the lotus lake that had been taken care of to be larger, more beautiful, and more orderly...
After Wei Wuxian sent Jiang Cheng and Jiang Chenxi to the waterside pavilion, he took the boat and took Wen Yuan to the center of the lake to pick lotus pods...
Jiang Cheng held Jiang Chenxi's hand and walked along the winding Lake Bridge Road that was built at an unknown time.
Jiang Cheng squatted down and looked at the lotus through the eyes of the child at the same level as Jiang Chenxi
But I saw large and round lotus flowers shining brightly under the sunlight.
Jiang Cheng remembered a poem, so he picked up Jiang Chenxi with one hand, pointed at the layers of lotus flowers in the distance with the other hand, and said: "The lotus leaves connecting the sky are endless and green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are particularly red."
Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he heard a voice from behind: "Good poem!"
Jiang Cheng turned around quickly, only to hear the man say again: "You finally came back to see me? It's been three years, three years since you last came!!"
Jiang Cheng heard the old man's questioning voice and knew that he was in good health. He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not. He quickly called Jiang Chenxi to come over to meet the old man.
When the old man saw Jiang Chenxi, he suddenly stopped talking and stared at Jiang Chenxi. He suddenly shouted, "My child!" and then he hugged Jiang Chenxi in his arms and burst into tears...
Jiang Cheng was also stunned by the scene before him. He could only comfort the old man softly and pat him on the back to calm him down...
After the old man had cried enough, Jiang Cheng helped him into the pavilion to rest...
The conversation went something like this
Old man: "What's wrong with this child?"
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said shyly: "My child~" (?????)
The old man was furious when he heard this: "You got married without inviting me?!!!"
Jiang Cheng hurriedly shook his hand to make a residual shadow and explained: "No, no, we are not married!!!"
The old man's brows relaxed a bit when he heard this, but they immediately frowned again, and he said with even more grief: "You kid, you let a girl give birth to a child for you, and you don't want to marry her?!!! Jiang kid! We can't be so heartless..."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng hurriedly calmed the old man down and said, "This is my own child. I didn't bully the girl."
The old man heard "raised" as "born" and stood up instantly! ! ! He stared at Jiang Cheng in amazement, his eyes scanning Jiang Cheng from top to bottom.
Jiang Cheng knew that the old man had misunderstood again, so he hurriedly explained: "I am a man, I am a man... This is what happened..."
After Jiang Cheng's eloquent speech, the old man finally understood the whole story. He could only sigh: "It's fate, it's fate!"
As he said this, he picked up Jiang Chenxi and loved her so much...
Now it's Jiang Cheng's turn to ask the old man.
The old man also told Jiang Cheng the story of his wife and son...
He was probably a young and energetic genius who had offended some sinister villains in his early years. Since those villains could not take revenge on him, they took revenge on his wife and children.
In the end, he killed all his enemies, but his wife and children could never come back, so he retired. By chance, he met Jiang Cheng, who looked 70% like his child...
And then there's what happened next.
The reason why he completely lost control when he saw Jiang Chenxi was because, if Jiang Cheng was 70% similar to his deceased child, then Jiang Chenxi was simply carved from the same mold as that child...
When the old man finished speaking, he said to Jiang Cheng with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, it's not fair to treat you as a substitute for my child."
But Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, it's my honor to look like the old man's child and to comfort him."
Hearing this, the old man lowered his head and smiled helplessly. He raised his head again, tears dripping from his eyes again, and gently touched Jiang Cheng's head. In order to let him touch his head better, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to move closer...
The old man said lovingly, "I've figured it out now. Little Jiang Cheng is little Jiang Cheng, not my Xiao Ci. Little Jiang Cheng is a very good child and is no substitute for anyone. I treat little Jiang Cheng well because he is good enough and deserves my kindness."
Even though he only approached Jiang Cheng because of this similar face at first, but later the child's behavior and conduct were very consistent with the old man's temperament, and later the old man really treated Jiang Cheng as another child of his own.
If it was just a person who looked like his own child but did all kinds of evil, the old man would never favor him like this, and he would even take action to get rid of the evil...
……
Finally, the knot was untied, and Jiang Cheng told the old man that he wanted to recognize him as his adoptive father. Jiang Cheng stated that he had already told Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan, and the two also supported it...
The old man agreed with tears in his eyes...
Jiang Cheng quickly asked Jiang Chenxi to come over, and Jiang Cheng said softly: "Xiaoxi, call grandpa quickly."
Jiang Chenxi walked up to the old man and performed a proper ceremony as a junior. The old man quickly sat up straight, and then smiled as he heard the crisp "Grandpa~"
The old man happily agreed, and finally gave Chenxi a small jade token, telling him that this jade token was a precious jade that could completely offset a fatal injury, and asked Jiang Chenxi to keep the jade token well...
Here Jiang Cheng is happily discussing with the old man the specific time and process of recognizing his adoptive father.
Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian was happily playing tricks on the kid...
Wei WuXian was lying on the boat, directing the six or seven-year-old Wen Yuan: “A Yuan, A Yuan, the fish are over there, the fish are over there, hurry up and catch them…”
Wen Yuan looked at the already full fish basket and said, "Dad, we've already caught a lot. Are you sure you want to catch more?"
Wei WuXian glanced lazily at the fish basket, and was shocked that they had caught so many, so he said, “Then let’s catch the last one. I just saw a long one swimming past your feet, in that direction, hurry up and catch it!!”
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan followed the direction Wei Wuxian pointed, dived down, and came up quickly, with the big fish Wei Wuxian had mentioned in his hand...
When the two saw the so-called "big fish" clearly, they both screamed: "Oh! My God! A snake!!!"
When the venomous snake was about to bite Wen Yuan's hand, Wei Wuxian was quick-witted and flicked his finger, instantly turning the snake into ashes.
The two of them patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief...
Wen Yuan looked at Wei Wuxian with big watery eyes and complained pitifully, "Daddy, can you see clearly before giving orders next time? It's so scary!!"
Wei WuXian laughed sheepishly: “Next time… Next time I will definitely…”
When Wei Wuxian came back with a large basket of fish and shrimps and begged the old man to show off his cooking skills, both the old man and Jiang Cheng were amused. The old man just laughed and scolded, "Greedy ghost" and turned back to the kitchen...
In the end, Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian and the other four returned home with full bellies. On the way, the four of them were still discussing when the next meal would be...
