Chapter 150 Day 146 of Being the Boss
The company signed a promising new artist at the beginning of the year, and in the following month, Song Eun-young, who had just debuted, won several first prizes in music shows. Xu Yisong felt that the beginning of 2015 was too smooth, and he hadn't smiled for several days.
And this good mood will continue until she returns from China.
At this time, Xu Yisong didn't know how big a trouble was waiting for her in the future. After finally finishing various award ceremonies and the company's year-end meeting, Xu Yisong planned to go back to China to see her grandparents during the weekend.
She had promised her grandparents that she would go back to see them this month. If she didn't go back, her grandmother would probably be angry with her and ignore her calls for several days.
Because she was very busy at work, it was difficult for her to spare time. In order to spend two more days with her grandparents, Xu Yisong took a flight back to China after get off work on Friday.
Because Ms. Yang likes flowers, they bought a beautiful courtyard in Yunnan, which is full of various flowers, all planted by grandparents themselves. In Xu Yisong's memory, she spent most of her vacation time in the fragrant courtyard in Yunnan after returning to China.
Xu Yisong's grandparents retired after handing over their business to Xu Yisong's father a few years ago. After retirement, the grandparents simply went to Yunnan to settle down. Xu Yisong also goes directly to Yunnan when she returns home for the New Year every year. She only goes to her father's place with her grandparents for the New Year gathering.
This time back is certainly no exception.
Xu Yisong caught a late flight, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening when she got home.
She had not told her grandparents that she was coming back, so when Ms. Yang was about to go back to her room to sleep in her pajamas, she suddenly saw her granddaughter, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, coming in from the door. Her first reaction was not joy but shock.
“Songsong?” Ms. Yang rubbed her eyes and found that it was really her granddaughter who came back. She excitedly ran over to hug her and shouted into the house, “Old Xu, come out quickly, Songsong is back!”
Ms. Yang took Xu Yisong to look him over carefully from head to toe, and asked with joy, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"
Xu Yisong put his luggage aside, hugged his grandmother, and then bent down to change his shoes. As he changed, he said, "I don't know who is urging me on the phone every day. I'm afraid that if I don't come back, someone will get angry and not answer the phone."
Ms. Yang was so angry that her face changed immediately and she slapped Xu Yisong.
If Quan Zhilong was here, he would find that Grandma Yang's movements and expressions when she beat Xu Yisong were exactly the same as when Xu Yisong beat him in anger.
At this time, Grandpa Xu also came out of the bedroom.
Perhaps because he had fallen ill not long ago, Grandpa Xu looked much less mentally fit and older than when Xu Yisong last came back.
She frowned slightly and walked over to support him, and asked worriedly, "Didn't the doctor say that there was nothing wrong? Why does grandpa look so much worse?"
Grandpa Xu just patted the back of Xu Yisong's hand and said with a smile: "Do you think your grandfather is still young? I'm almost seventy years old. This is what happens when people get old."
Aging is a slow process, and people often don't even notice that they are getting older. But once something goes wrong, even if it's just a minor illness, the changes in the body will be particularly obvious. As the saying goes, "diseases go away like a thread being pulled out", people are most aware of the changes in their bodies at this time.
Grandpa Xu is like this. Since he got older, every time he got sick over the years, he would clearly feel that he was really old. Just like this time, it was just an ordinary cold, but it seemed to have directly drained most of his vitality. Even though he has recovered now, Grandpa Xu clearly feels that his body is really not as good as before.
Now, looking at his grown-up granddaughter, Grandpa Xu feels happy but also a sense of melancholy.
He had always thought that he was in good health, but now he was afraid of the passing of time. At his age, he had already let many things go, except for his granddaughter, whom he had raised since she was a child. No matter how he planned for her, he felt that it was not enough.
I don’t know how many more years I can stay with her.
But there was no one in the family who really cared about her except for herself and my wife. Even her father, Grandpa Xu, was worried.
This is also why he had always hoped that Xu Yisong would return to China. He didn't want her to stay in the United States or go to South Korea, but in the end he agreed to let Xu Yisong return to South Korea to start a company.
Over the years, they have been worried that Xu Yisong would stay in Korea, and both sides have been secretly competing over the issue of Xu Yisong's destination, but Grandpa Xu also knows that after he leaves, Xu Yisong's grandfather and uncles will be much more reliable than her father.
But Grandpa Xu never told Xu Yisong about these things. Although Xu Yisong has grown up, in Grandpa Xu's eyes, Xu Yisong is still the little girl who is only as tall as the table legs and likes to sit on his shoulders and ride a big horse.
He hopes that Songsong in their family can live a happier life.
Xu Yisong didn't know what her grandfather was thinking. She looked at the time and urged her grandparents to go to bed. She was going back to her own home, not to visit others, so she needed someone to accompany her to pack her luggage.
It was a rare occasion for Xu Yisong to go home, so she slept very well that night. When she got up, her grandmother had already prepared breakfast. Smelling the familiar smell of egg pancakes, Xu Yisong ran to the kitchen in her pajamas without combing her hair, leaned on her grandmother, and reached out to take the egg pancakes on the plate.
"Mmm, it smells so good. You can't buy egg pancakes that taste this good anywhere else."
"Wash your hands before eating!" Ms. Yang turned around and glared at her granddaughter, raising the spatula as if to hit her.
Xu Yisong smiled and stuffed the egg pancake into his mouth, then dodged back skillfully, raised his hands in surrender and said, "Let's go now. Ms. Yang can't be angry so early in the morning."
It can be said that Xu Yisong’s cooking skills were taught by Ms. Yang, but for some reason Xu Yisong always feels that Ms. Yang can cook the same dish better than her.
After dinner, Xu Yisong was not idle at all. He went to the farm with his grandmother. Since settling in Yunnan, Ms. Yang has not only been fascinated by growing flowers, but also by raising small animals. In just a few years, the farm has cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, sheep, and even a few horses.
Of course, my grandparents are old, so we have hired professionals to take care of farm affairs. But the old people can’t sit still, and they still like to come over every day to feed the rabbits and sheep.
Xu Yisong followed his grandmother around the farm and found that his grandmother seemed to have raised new things. When he got closer, he found that they were actually a few alpacas.
