Chapter 217: Accepting Her as a Goddaughter
Chapter 217: Accepting Her as a Goddaughter
"Haha, Old Mu is very particular about food. Even he says so, so it must be really delicious." Grandpa Liang said happily.
"Grandpas and grandmas, you can try it too."
Under Ji Qinglin's expectation, several elderly people began to taste their respective hometown dishes.
The moment the food entered their mouths, they all showed expressions of astonishment. It was so delicious and authentic.
The old people had small appetites to begin with, but they still ate up all the dishes made by Ji Qinglin, and everyone showed a satisfied expression.
Now, Ji Qinglin's impression in the eyes of these elderly people has greatly improved. Even Grandma Qi, who has always been strict with others, now looks at Ji Qinglin with a little more doting.
"Xiao Ji, how did you know our hometown?" Grandpa Liang has changed his words and calls Ji Qinglin "Xiao Ji" just like Grandpa Gu.
"My husband told me..." Ji Qinglin felt that it was better to be intimate in front of the elders, otherwise they would think that their relationship was not good and would worry. "When I was thinking about what to cook, it was my husband who told me that I could make a hometown dish for the grandparents."
"Not bad, not bad!! Bei Sheng is a thoughtful boy." Grandpa Mu praised.
"Haha, of course! Don't you see whose grandson he is?" Old Master Gu's face was full of pride. Today, Ji Qinglin and Gu Beisheng both made him proud.
"Old man Gu, just show off. With such a capable grandson and such an excellent granddaughter-in-law, I think you will even wake up with a smile in your sleep." Grandpa Liang rolled his eyes and spoke harshly, but he was envious in his heart.
Old Master Gu could sense the sourness in Grandpa Liang's words, and his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
"Xiao Ji, come here." Grandma Qi suddenly spoke, and the way she addressed Ji Qinglin became more intimate.
"Grandma Qi, what's wrong?" Ji Qinglin walked over, and Grandma Qi took her hands and looked at her carefully.
"What a good girl," Grandma Qi sighed. "If I had a granddaughter like you, I would wake up laughing even in my sleep. However, everyone has their own destiny. I am content to be able to eat the food you cook here."
"Sister Qi, how about...you adopt Xiao Ji as your godson?" Old Master Gu's eyes lit up and he took the opportunity to suggest.
He knew that Grandma Qi's status was higher than that of the old men present. If Xiao Ji could become her goddaughter, his eldest grandson would even have to rely on her in the future.
"Old Gu, you know how to take advantage." Grandpa Liang and Grandpa Mu both rolled their eyes at Grandpa Gu.
However, they all felt that there was absolutely no problem with Ji Qinglin being Grandma Qi's goddaughter.
When Grandma Qi heard Mr. Gu's suggestion, her eyes lit up, and then she asked nervously, "Xiao Ji, what do you think?"
Ji Qinglin glanced at Mr. Gu, only to see that he kept winking at her, obviously asking her to agree.
Ji Qinglin didn't know the pros and cons of this, but he felt that the elderly people present were very kind and amiable. Although Grandma Qi was a little strict at first, this was also because she valued a person's character.
After spending time with her just now, Grandma Qi also recognized her character.
"If Grandma Qi doesn't mind me being a girl from a poor family, I'd be happy to acknowledge you as my godmother."
