Chapter 230

Chapter 230 - He corrected himself and called "Great Big Grandpa" after being smacked by his mother. (3)

Cheng Huan kept the smile on her but stealthily pinched the man on his fingertips, gesturing him to not make up too much stuff.

The man pulled his fingers out, past her palm and held her fingertips in his hand so she couldn't do anything else.

His cousin, sitting across from them, was oblivious too all these. He was still mulling over his cousin's wedding. Rubbing his belly, he said in all seriousness, "Yes, this is important. We must pick a good date for it."

Jiang MingYuan agreed, "That's how I feel as well."

They did not chat for too long. It was already late, after all Jiang MingYuan pulled out the gifts that he had brought with him and followed his cousin and his wife to Big Grandpa's place.

Big Grandpa's place was much bigger than Jiang MingYuan's and there were 5 or 6 different structures within the courtyard. There were a lot of rooms and a lot of people living there. His 5 children and around 10 grandchildren and another 10 more great grandchildren all returned with their families. There was almost not enough room to house all of them.

They went to visit Big Grandpa first. Big Grandpa stayed in his own structure. There were caretakers and doctor in there as well. Many greeted Jiang MingYuan as the three of them walked toward the structure. Walking next to Jiang MingYuan, Cheng Huan did not need to turn around to feel the looks that were focused on her from behind her.

Jiang MingYuan held Cheng Huan hand and reassured her in a low voice. "Just ignore them."

"I know," said Cheng Huan as she held him back.

Big Grandpa's place was quiet and there was an independent backyard outside of his structure. A few cages of birds were hung from the under the eaves and there were different colors of parrots inside of them. As soon as Jiang MingYuan and the others got close, one of the big one shouted toward the inside of the house, "Someone's here to see you, old man!"

The abruptness of the voice startled both Cheng Huan and XingXing. XingXing looked around, still startled, but did not find the person who talked. He stealthily snuggled up closer to his mother and said to her softly, "Mom, there's an invisible man here."

Having said that, the bird chuckled loudly again and XingXing stuck onto Cheng Huan even closer.

Cheng Huan had never had a parrot before but she knew that certain species of them can be trained to talk. Looking in the direction of where the sound came from, she saw the green beady eyes of the large parrot. The parent cocked it's head, looked at her and greeted her, "Hi there, beautiful."

Cheng Huan, "... ..."

"This one is a lively one. You can ignore it." Parrots live for a long time and this one had been here since Jiang MingYuan was born. It was his elderly if one was to be technical about it. He smiled at Cheng Huan helplessly before he pulled XingXing over and told him that there was no invisible man and that it was the parrot who was talking. And that he didn't need to be afraid of it.

This was the first XingXing heard that parrots can talk. He became curious immediately. Looking up at the parrot by the door for a long while, he finally said to it, "Hi."

The parrot, "Who are you?"

Seeing that it could really interact with him, XingXing was even more excited. He ran over and introduced himself to the parrot. After he had said a lot to the parrot, it still replied him with a "who are you?"

"Okay, XingXing, play with it later. Let's go see Big Grandpa first, alright?"

"Okay." XingXing thought about it some and nodded. Holding onto his daddy's hand, he waved at the parrot before he reluctantly walked inside of the structure with his mom and dad.

Big Grandpa was old and could not easily go up and down the stairs. He spent most of his time in his own room. Jiang MingYuan brought his wife and kid with him to see Big Grandpa in his bedroom. He had just knocked when a voice came from inside telling him to go inside.

"Is it MingYuan? C'mon in. I knew it was you when I heard Dongdong." His voice was old but not fragile. He was most likely in good health. Jiang MingYuan looked more relaxed upon hearing that. Walking inside and placing their gifts on top of the table, he smiled and addressed the elder in front of him as Great Grandpa.

He then introduced the others with him. "This is Cheng Huan, my girlfriend. This is Jiang XingChen, our son. He will be 5 years old after the new year."

After his introduction, Cheng Huan addressed the old man as Big Grandpa as well and XingXing, confused for a second there, said the same thing. He only recalled to change the title after his mother had smacked him gently.

"How are you, Great Grandpa."
