Whether it was before or after their marriage.
I will take care of you!” Tang Moxi replied as he stared at Liuli.
“Why do 1 feel like your child?” Liuli couldn’t help but mutter.
However, she didn’t continue this topic and lowered her head.
Tang Moxi handed her a handkerchief. Liuli was about to wipe it when she remembered that she had already taken one of Mr. Tang’s handkerchiefs last night.
Hence, she returned it to Tang Moxi.
“I took a handkerchief yesterday and haven’t returned it yet!”
“It’s fine. We’re family, so there’s no need to return it!” Tang Moxi replied calmly.
“Um…”
Tang Moxi wiped Liuli’s tears as he said,
“Grandpa Yu wouldn’t want you crying!”
“I know, but I can’t help it! I miss Grandpa!” Liuli replied in a choked voice.
“When you miss Grandpa Yu, you can talk to the stars in the sky!” It was rare for Tang Moxi to be so philosophic.
“Uncle, do you also do this when you miss your parents?” Liuli asked Tang Moxi in surprise.
Tang Moxi looked ahead and replied calmly,
“I used to!”
“Oh!” Liu Li replied.
She thought that Mr. Tang was very young at that time and his parents had just passed away, so he couldn’t find anyone to talk to.
Therefore, he could only speak to the stars.
She suddenly felt sorry for Mr. Tang!
She couldn’t help but reach out to hug Tang Moxi.
Tang Moxi lowered his head and looked at Liuli. Liuli felt a little embarrassed, but she still hugged Mr. Tang.
It was as if she could send warmth to him this way.
After a while, she turned to look in the direction of her grandfather’s grave.
Grandma had already sat down in front of Grandpa’s tombstone and was talking to it.
Liuli knew that she must be telling her grandfather about what happened after he was gone.
She must have told her grandfather that she and Tang Moxi were already engaged.
“Grandpa, I miss you very much. I’m doing very well now.
Please bless Grandma and Grandpa Tang to be healthy and live a long life.
I hope you’re happy in heaven!
Liuli said to her grandfather deep down.
After they paid their respects to her grandfather, they left the mountain.
Perhaps everyone was feeling a little depressed, they went home directly.
Grandma looked a little tired. She said that she wanted to rest first and let everyone eat lunch without waiting for her.
Liuli’s parents knew that every time Grandma returned from visiting Grandpa, she would be in a bad mood, so everyone tried not to disturb her.
Liuli’s mom helped Liuli’s grandma lie down.
Then, she walked out and said to Tang Moxi, “Let’s just have lunch at home.”
Then, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Tang Moxi and Liuli’s father were chatting about current economic affairs in the living room. Liuli had nothing to do, so she followed her mom into the kitchen to help.
Lin Yu glanced at her daughter.
In the past, she had never had any high requirements for her cooking skills.
On one hand, it was because she was young, so they weren’t in a hurry for her to learn anything.
On the other hand, it was also because she had a heavy workload at school. Sometimes, when she came back from school, she would be busy with her homework after dinner.
Naturally, she wouldn’t ask her to do any housework.
Although she had a break during the winter and summer holidays, it wasn’t enough for her to have fun.
Now, her daughter was about to get married, but she was still bad at cooking.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
“Liuli, if there’s nothing else, you can learn to cook a few dishes from me!
You can’t not even know how to cook after you get married. That would be a joke.”
“Mom, 1 know how to cook rice and red braised pork,” Liuli retorted.
“I won’t say anything about cooking. The red braised pork you cooked is stale and salty. In the past, only your grandfather supported you.
If you really want to learn well, do it with your heart.
Look at how delicious your Grandma’s red braised pork is.
“How dare you say that you know how to cook!” Lin Yu glanced at Liuli and said.
Liuli immediately lowered her head and thought, “Mom, if you don’t insult me for a single day, will your life be unsatisfactory?”
However, Liuli was only depressed for a moment because although her mom’s words were harsh, they were also the truth.
Her red braised pork was indeed much worse than her grandma’s.
It seemed like she really had to learn diligently.
At noon, every time Lin Yu cooked a dish, she would tell Liuli how to cook it and what she needed to pay attention to.
Liuli nodded as she learned. She wanted to memorize everything so that she could cook it for Grandpa Tang tonight.
Just like that, after lunch, Liuli felt that she had learned two more dishes..
