Chapter 357 Return to the old house
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu was slightly stunned.
Yes... today is grandma's birthday, and she almost forgot about it because she was so busy.
Fortunately, the gifts were prepared in advance.
She raised her eyes and spoke with a smile.
"Okay."
When the two walked to Pei Jingchuan's car, she turned to Pei Jingchuan.
"Jingchuan, I prepared grandma's birthday gift a few days in advance and put it in your car. I think grandma will like it."
Pei Jingchuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise and curiosity: "What gift is it?"
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and explained: "It is a piece of porcelain from a famous ceramic master. I remember my grandma once mentioned that she liked this master's works."
"You're so thoughtful."
His voice was still low, but with a hint of tenderness.
When Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan arrived at the old house, the last ray of light of the setting sun was gently shining on the building.
The trees around the old house sway gently, accompanied by the gentle breeze in the evening, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
Inside the Pei family's old house, the lights are brightly lit, exuding a strong family atmosphere.
Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan entered the old house together. The Pei family members were already sitting around the dining table, ready to celebrate.
Grandma's face was filled with a happy smile, and she was even more happy when she saw Jiang Yuzhu.
Jiang Yuzhu walked into the living room and presented the carefully selected piece of porcelain to Grandma Pei.
The porcelain is wrapped in a layer of exquisite gift paper, revealing noble and sophisticated taste.
"Grandma, happy birthday." Jiang Yuzhu said softly and handed over the gift.
Grandma Pei took the gift with anticipation in her eyes.
When she carefully opened the package and revealed the exquisite porcelain, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, this is the work of my favorite master. Yu Zhu, how do you know?" Grandma Pei asked excitedly, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
Jiang Yuzhu smiled and replied: "I heard Jingchuan mention that grandma, you have mentioned that you like this master's works before."
Pei Yanqing took out an exquisite packaging box and handed it to Mrs. Pei with a green smile on her face.
"Grandma, this is the gift Mengling and I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Mrs. Pei opened the gift with a smile. Inside was a set of exquisite tea sets, exuding a classic and elegant atmosphere.
"This tea set is so exquisite. Thank you, Yan Qing and Mengling." Mrs. Pei's voice was full of love and satisfaction.
Mengling said slightly shyly: "Grandma, we personally selected this. I hope you like it."
Then, Pei Jingchuan took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Pei.
"Grandma, this is my gift. I hope it will bring you good luck."
Mrs. Pei opened the box. Inside was an exquisite jade pendant. The jade was warm and moist, with auspicious patterns carved on it.
"This jade pendant is so beautiful, thank you, Jingchuan." Grandma Pei's eyes shone with gratitude.
The Pei family's dining table is filled with all kinds of delicacies, with fragrant aromas that tempt the appetite.
Mrs. Pei smiled and asked everyone to sit down.
"Come on, everyone, sit down. Today is a special day, and our family wants to celebrate it."
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu sat on the left and right sides of Mrs. Pei, while Pei Yanqing and Mengling sat opposite.
The topics at the dinner table involved various trivial matters in the family. Mrs. Pei sometimes asked about her grandchildren’s work and life, and sometimes shared her own life wisdom.
Pei Jingchuan occasionally interrupted. He didn't speak much, but every time he spoke, he seemed just right, showing his stability and thoughtfulness.
Jiang Yuzhu listened more and smiled, while Pei Yanqing and Mengling were more active. They talked and laughed from time to time, adding a bit of youthful vitality and joy to the table.
The food on the table was carefully prepared, every dish was delicious, and family members praised the home cook's skills.
Mrs. Pei looked at all this with a smile.
For her, being able to see the whole family gather together is undoubtedly the greatest happiness.
After the meal, the Pei family's living room gradually became quiet, and the family members said goodbye one by one and prepared to go home.
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu also stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Pei and her family.
Mrs. Pei's eyes shone with love, and she said gently to Jiang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, come back and sit at home often."
Jiang Yuzhu smiled, nodded, and replied: "Thank you, grandma, I will."
Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu walked out of the Pei family's old house, and the night enveloped everything around them gently.
The two walked to the vehicle parked outside the door together.
In the car, Pei Jingchuan started the car and drove through the quiet night. The way home seemed peaceful and soothing.
While driving, Pei Jingchuan occasionally looked at Jiang Yuzhu, and his tone was concerned: "Yuzhu, Ye Qingning, is she in the hospital now?"
When Jiang Yuzhu heard this, his heart moved slightly. She knew that Pei Jingchuan would not mention this matter for no reason
A trace of doubt and worry flashed across his face.
She tilted her head slightly, pretending to be unclear, and asked: "Ye Qingning? What's wrong with her?"
Pei Jingchuan's expression became slightly serious. He said slowly: "Gu Qiyang said that he met Ye Qingning in a hospital gown at the research institute. He told me."
Pei Jingchuan's voice was filled with deep concern: "We grew up with Ye Qingning, and she is like our family. If she is really in trouble, I hope I can do my part."
The atmosphere in the car was filled with quiet concern.
Jiang Yuzhu felt hesitant in his heart when he heard Pei Jingchuan's words.
She knew Ye Qingning's situation, but she also knew Ye Qingning's strong personality and didn't want to worry too many people.
Jiang Yuzhu replied softly: "No, Sister Qing Ning is not hospitalized. Maybe Qi Yang saw it wrong." Although her words were calm, there was a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes.
Pei Jingchuan glanced slightly sideways, examining Jiang Yuzhu's expression, seeming to sense her hesitation.
He said gently: "If you need help with anything, just let me know. We all hope Lime gets better."
Jiang Yuzhu nodded and looked at Pei Jingchuan complicatedly: "Thank you, Jingchuan. I understand."
The next day, the early morning sunlight penetrated the white curtains of the hospital and fell on Jiang Yuzhu's calm and composed face.
She had just finished a series of intense ward rounds, and at this time, her thoughts were lingering on Pei Jingchuan's words last night.
Knowing that Pei Jingchuan and Gu Qiyang's concern for Ye Qingning was not false, she decided to take time out of her busy schedule to visit Ye Qingning.
Walking in the corridor of the hospital, Jiang Yuzhu's pace seemed calm.
Ye Qingning gently knocked on the door of Ye Qingning's ward, and the door slowly opened.
Ye Qingning was lying on the bed. Her face was slightly pale, but when she saw Jiang Yuzhu, her eyes immediately shone with warmth.
"Yuzhu, why are you here?" Ye Qingning's voice was soft. Although she was weak, her smile was still as warm as before.
Jiang Yuzhu approached the bed with a smile and asked with concern: "Sister Qing Ning, how is your health?"
