Chapter 727 Han Tao Returns Home
In the living room of the small building, an old man in his seventies was reading a newspaper, while an old lady next to him was wiping photo frames and chattering.

"Old man, stop looking. Why hasn't the kid come back yet? Didn't Xiao Ai tell you on the phone that Xiao Tao would be home today? Did you find out?

By the way, I have to tell you, if you come back, you are not allowed to be mean to him. The child doesn’t come back for half a year, so don’t put on airs and be sullen when you come back.”

Hearing what the old woman said, the old man put down the newspaper and said, "Teacher Wang, are you done yet? You kept nagging me before I came back, and now that I am coming back you are still nagging me. It is really annoying.

Xiao Tao has grown up now. I will talk to him properly when I have something to say and will not scold him. Besides, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful thing. When I scolded him before, I was also teaching him to grow up and protecting him from going the wrong way.

Just like this time, he was very thoughtless. Although his role was not very big, he just played a role in connecting the two sides, but he still violated the taboo.

Since I chose the legal profession instead of working in the system, I will try my best not to get involved in the affairs of the industry.

But how did he do it? He confronted the Zhao family before he even graduated, and now that he has grown stronger, he has cut off their support without any warning.

Is the Zhao family so easy to please? Anyone who still holds a position even if he has lost his power is also blessed. "

"You old man, you're tired of me now, right?"

The old lady threw the rag on the table, took a sip of water and said, "No matter where he is, we are not afraid of our own shadows. Xiao Tao must have his own considerations for doing that.

Don't you always say that a young eagle is bound to encounter some bumps and bruises when it spreads its wings? Now you always want to chain it up, so it will never grow up.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this matter. Old Zhong didn’t say anything, and from what Xiao Ai said, she even praised our Xiao Tao…”

"You, don't just look at the surface. In our situation, if we make a wrong move, we will lose everything. And I don't want to tie him down, I want to guide him correctly, do you understand?"

After that, the trembling old man picked up the newspaper again and muttered quietly, "It's true that loving mothers often spoil their children. You've been beating them since they were young. Now you're worried when it comes to your precious grandson. Why haven't I seen you defend your two grandsons like this?"

Hearing this, the old lady rolled her eyes at her husband and said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaohan and the others have their parents backing them up, why do they need me to protect them?

But what about Xiao Tao? I raised him with great difficulty since he was abandoned by your precious daughter. Don’t you think I shouldn’t be thinking about him?
Children without parents are different anyway. I will protect him. As long as I am alive, no one in our family will let him suffer any injustice, including you, an old man. Humph!"

"Yes, yes, you are right!" The old man was not anxious when he was confronted by the old lady, and he did not argue anymore.

There was no way. He couldn't argue with his old lady at home, so he simply chose to strategically avoid her and continued reading the newspaper.

"Hmph, don't act like a big shot in front of me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just being stubborn!"

After saying that, the old lady stopped arguing with her husband and continued to stand up and wipe the photos and various awards on the wall.

In fact, she knew in her heart that although her old man didn't say it, he missed his grandson Han Tao very much in his heart. He was raised by the old couple since he was a child, and their relationship with him was deeper than that with all the granddaughters.

At this time, the grandson that the old couple missed had already arrived at the door. He looked around the familiar yard and finally his eyes fell on the two old people in the house.

While wiping, the old lady accidentally glanced at the door and was stunned for a moment. Then she reacted and couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing the grandson she had been thinking about day and night appear in front of her, the old woman's hands trembled and she couldn't hold the rag in her hand. The old man next to her also noticed that something was wrong with the old woman, took off his glasses, and looked in the direction of her gaze.

In fact, it’s not her fault that she is so excited. When Han Tao was in college, he had winter and summer vacations, and he would come back to spend time with them on May Day and National Day.

But after he graduated, he stayed in Handong, and later went to work in Beijing. Even when he came back to celebrate the New Year, he only stayed for a few days in a hurry and then went back to work again.

For people of their age, what they value most is companionship. Being able to talk and eat face to face is the best gift, better than anything else.

Because they have experienced too many separations, they hope that when they are old, their family members can appear in front of them safely. This is their expectation and wish for the rest of their lives.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back!" Facing the two elders, Han Tao pushed open the door while calling out to them, just like he did when he was a child.

The old lady hugged him and said, "My eldest grandson is back. Let grandma take a look at you and see if you have lost weight!"

"Didn't you say you would leave Shanghai this morning? Why did you get home so late?" Although the old man was excited, he didn't express it.

However, from his expression and voice, Han Tao could already feel his grandfather's happiness and care. After all, they were of different generations, and he knew that his grandfather just didn't say it out loud.

"This time I came back with a few friends and partners, so we went to Nantong to handle this matter and came back immediately after it was done."

"You should have called ahead, your grandma is very worried about you, don't you know?"

"Old man!" Of course the old lady knew her old man best, so she wiped her eyes happily.
"Okay, stop being so pretentious. Who are you trying to show off to, you know? I'm going to go buy groceries and cook now. I'm happy to make an exception today and let Xiao Tao drink with you later.

You've been thinking about the Maotai that the second brother has stored for a long time, so I'll let you have some meat with the eldest grandson tonight. I don't let you drink alcohol normally!"

"Grandma, let me do it. I'll cook for you and grandpa today." Han Tao held his grandmother, intending to cook with the old lady.

"Okay, I'll try my grandson's cooking, too!"

The old lady nodded with a smile, then made a pot of tea and said, "I'll go buy some groceries first. You can chat with grandpa for a while."

Han Tao quickly grabbed his grandmother and said with a smile, "Grandma, can I go shopping with you?"

"No, you just wait at home. By the way, I'm going to play a game of chess with your grandfather. He talked about it many times. I asked Xiao Wang to go with me. Don't worry."

After saying that, the old lady went out with a basket. At this time, a young man was already waiting in the yard.

Looking at the living room again, only Han Tao and the old man were left sitting opposite each other. Han Tao poured a cup of tea for his grandfather and obediently prepared to be scolded.

"Grandpa, are you and grandma okay? I just returned to the Magic City to develop my career. I have been very busy recently, otherwise I would have come back to see you a long time ago."
