Chapter 145 Life in Nanping Mountain
Nan Yi turned her face away embarrassedly, mumbling something.

The words were too vague, so Nanzhi couldn't hear clearly, so she moved closer:
"What did you say? Mom can't hear you clearly."

Nan Yi pretended to be serious and raised his voice slightly:
"I said I'm 4 and a half years old, I can't be called cute!"

Nanzhi was so happy that her eyes narrowed with smiles:
"Then what should I praise? My handsome, smart, sensible and well-behaved genius baby?"

"mom!"

Even the tips of Nan Yi's ears were dyed red.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s shy or because she’s been coaxed too much.

Nanzhi couldn't help it, so she reached out to rub his face and kiss his forehead.

Nan Yi twisted his body uncomfortably, but this time he didn't cover his forehead.

Nanzhi saw that he was obviously very happy but tried to pretend to be calm, so she wanted to play a teasing on him.

She suddenly let out a cry.

Facing Nan Yi's nervous gaze, he asked slowly:

"You've forgotten that Yi Yi is already a 4 and a half year old kid. Does that mean we can't kiss each other anymore?"

"That's still possible."

Nan Yi was so nervous that he stuttered.

It seemed that he was really afraid that Nanzhi would never kiss him again.

Seeing him anxiously trying to explain, his little face turned red.

Nanzhi felt distressed and immediately stopped teasing him and gave him another big kiss.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding."

"Mother."

The tone of voice sounded aggrieved.

Nanzhi felt guilty and quickly handed the black notebook to him:
"Take a look, what is this?"

"……What is it?"

The little cub was indeed easy to fool, and Nan Yi's attention was successfully diverted.

Nanzhi explained:

"My grandfather's diary, um, your great-grandfather."

Nan Yi opened his eyes wide in surprise:
"So what does it say? Did Great Grandfather mention me?"

He asked a question that sounded a bit silly.

But Nanzhi heard from these words his desire for the affection of his elderly elders.

She apologized secretly, and then answered Nan Yi's question seriously:
"Although he didn't mention it, he must know you. Because I found out you were born not long after your great grandfather's funeral. So, Yi Yi should be a gift from my great grandfather!"

She lost her only family and regained her only family.

How is this not considered a kind of perfection?

Nanzhi analyzed and nodded seriously.

The persuasiveness in his words left Nan Yi with no doubt at all.

Nan Yi: “Wow!”

His bright dark eyes sparkled with excitement and happiness.

Perhaps he suddenly realized that his existence seemed to be more valuable and meaningful than he thought!

"Then I want to read my great-grandfather's diary, too!"

"Okay, let's watch it together."

Nanzhi simply placed the diary upright in front of the two of them and flipped through the pages one by one.

Nanzhi reads the diary very slowly and hasn't finished it yet.

She tried to understand more about her grandfather from the lines, the mysterious old man who was silent, introverted and uncommunicative when he was alive.

Now, she also tries to portray the image of a grandfather to her children -

Nanzhi actually doesn’t know much about the past of Nanping Mountain.

I only knew from what others said that he was poor when he was young, his parents had both passed away, and that he later married his wife through a blind date, opened a restaurant in a small town, and lived an ordinary life.

Later, a state banquet chef came to attend an event nearby and happened to pass by his restaurant. He thought he had good talent and asked him if he wanted to go to Yanjing to study cooking.

He went.

Even his wife's threat of divorce could not stop his determination.

Later, his wife left him with the child, and within two months she formed a new family with another man. But he didn't care at all, he packed his simple bag, closed his small restaurant, and went to Beijing to learn art.

Many years later, he came back, already an old man with gray hair and a lonely look.

He picked up the granddaughter that his son had abandoned and opened a small restaurant.

Some people admired his behavior.

Some people also laughed at him behind his back, saying that he had been out for so many years but had not even earned enough money to buy a coffin.

Even his biological son Zhao Cheng, who had changed his name, was furious and said that the old man was useless and could not leave him a huge fortune.

Nan Pingshan never mentioned how he spent those years in Yanjing.

Until Nanzhi read the diary.

Only then did she realize that the years her grandfather had spent in Yanjing could no longer be described as successful.

He is a legend.

From his sudden appearance, his fame in Beijing, to his hosting of state banquets, to gourmets from all over the world flying in just to eat his food, to his betrayal by those close to him, to his choice to leave in disappointment...

His eventful half of life is all included in this small notebook.

So, how could he not make money?
Not only did he earn money, but he also gained fame and fortune. Wealth and glory all flowed through his hands.

He chose not to.

So...

That day, I ran into Zhao Cheng and Wang Xiaoyue in front of my grandfather's grave. They seemed to be completely unaware of what was going on.

You know, this diary has been in their hands for a long time.

Well.

However, considering the couple's "money-oriented" nature, they probably just flipped through two pages of the diary and threw it away because they thought it was useless.

That makes sense too.

"Mom, why don't you read it?"

Nan Yi suddenly asked.

It seemed that he was listening with great interest.

Also.

My grandfather’s life is simply a growth story of a great male protagonist!
From an 80-year-old man to a 3-year-old child, no one doesn’t love exciting novels!

But...

"Little guy, this is your great-grandfather's diary, not a novel!"

Nanzhi pinched Nanyi's nose unhappily.

Southern Italian voice:
"I know."

Nanzhi loosened his fingers and continued to turn to the next page.

He casually said:

"The rest should be the story of your great grandfather returning to his hometown. Actually, I didn't have time to read it."

Wow.

The page turns.

Her name suddenly appeared before my eyes.

'The first time I saw Zhizhi, she was as thin as a cat and couldn't even get food from other children.'

'When I got home today, I found Zhizhi had secretly washed the dishes and swept the floor. She kept looking at me, probably because she was afraid that I would send her away. Such a young child...how can I make her feel at ease?'

"Zhizhi ate two bowls of rice today, and her cheeks look plump, not bad."

'Zhizhi doesn't like eating cucumbers.'

'I gave Zhizhi too much candy, and she had a toothache and went to the hospital. Don't indulge children blindly, remember that!'

'I made candied apples today, and Zhizhi liked them very much.'

"Zhizhi wants to go to kindergarten, but I can't even afford the tuition. What's the point of this ridiculous insistence?"

'Business in the store is very good. I bought a little skirt for Zhizhi and she was very happy.'

"I've been thinking a lot about Zhizhi recently. Maybe when she's older, I can go back to Yanjing to see her."

"Zhizhi is too young. I am worried about leaving her at home. Let's wait until she goes to primary school."

"When Zhizhi goes to junior high school..."

"When Zhizhi goes to high school..."
