Chapter 2140. The Love of Chuan Rong (21)
When Zhuang Shurong said this, her eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Mu Tangchuan in a daze.
Mu Tangchuan lowered his eyes and stared at her for a moment. He did not miss the glimmer of hope in her eyes. After thinking about it, he could only say helplessly, “As you wish. However, I will only allow you to leave the hospital after I personally hear from the doctor that you are fine.”
The tone she had was one that could not be rejected.
Zhuang Shurong could only nod her head.
The bodyguard called the doctor over again. The doctor examined Zhuang Shurong and confirmed that she was in a good condition. Only then did Mu Tangchuan feel at ease and let the bodyguard, Ah Wen, go and handle the procedure for discharge.

When the two of them finished the procedures and left the hospital, the storm outside was still ongoing.
The bodyguards had already washed the car. Zhuang Shurong instructed the bodyguards to move all the things in the car to Mu Tangchuan’s car and then got into the car. It was already afternoon, so the two of them did not have time to eat and rushed straight to the village.
The atmosphere of the new year in the countryside seemed to be even denser than in the city. This large area was a densely populated area of the villages. On the way here, there were villages on both sides of the road. There were burning firecrackers and the continuous sound of firecrackers everywhere.
At this time of the year, the villagers would be paying respects to their ancestors. It was always the same at every New Year, so it was quite lively when it came to the holidays.
When the car arrived at the village entrance, they could see the villagers who were bringing in the new year all over the place from afar. There were Spring Festival couplets posted outside the doors of each household.
In such stormy weather, the sky would get dark earlier and it would be a little cold, so everyone prepared early so that the whole family could have a reunion dinner together and watch the spring festival gala on the small television.
Zhuang Shurong’s hometown was in the middle of the village. The village was not very big, but there were also quite a number of people. When Zhuang Shurong and her group drove the car in, there were quite a lot of people who came to watch until the car drove into the Zhuang family’s courtyard.
The Zhuang family’s courtyard was nothing more than a two-and-a-half-story house. The empty space in front was surrounded by a wall. The interior was paved and could be used as a large parking lot.
Zhuang Shurong and Mu Tangchuan had just gotten out of the car when the Zhuang couple came out to welcome them.
The old couple’s hair had already turned white and they were already past their 70s. However, they looked quite energetic, especially with Elder master Zhuang’s tall body. His walking posture was still straight and he looked full of energy, it was not difficult to capture a hint of the demeanor of a soldier from his body.
“Grandfather, Grandmother!”
Zhuang Shurong quickly released Mu Tangchuan when she saw the two old elderly and walked up to them.
“You’re finally back! Just now, I called to ask when your parents would arrive. They said that you left yesterday and did not see them. We were worried that your grandfather was going to send people out to look for you.”
Elder Madam Zhuang welcomed them warmly. When she saw the two children, her heart was finally relieved and the smile on her face was very kind.
“I was delayed on the way, so I came back late,” Zhuang Shurong replied.
“It’s good that you’re back safely. Tangchuan, this is your first time in the countryside, right? The people in the countryside are simple and crude, don’t mind them. It’s cold outside in the wind and rain. Come in and sit down and warm yourself.”
Elder Zhuang’s eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at Mu Tangchuan. As he spoke, he invited them inside.
“I used to stay in the countryside when I went out. I’m not too unfamiliar,” Mu Tangchuan said humbly. He still respected Elder Zhuang a lot, Elder Zhuang was a very upright person. He had a good reputation in the military, even Zhou Zhenjun had praised him.
“Good, I’ve always respected the way your Mu family teaches your children. However, our Ah Rong has been spoiled by me. She’s been lawless and comes back to visit her grandmother and me once a year, this ungrateful little thing.”
Elder Zhuang glared at Zhuang Shurong and walked in with his hands behind his back.
“Grandfather, I’m not. I’m just too busy with work, I have to work overtime almost every weekend. If I didn’t have a few more days off for the New Year, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
Zhuang Shurong shrugged innocently and said.
“It hasn’t been long since we last met, but you’re much more eloquent now. You’re the same as your father, and you rarely come back. Your grandmother misses you so much that she has called so many times.”
The Zhuang family’s old master did not intend to let Zhuang Shurong off so quickly. He went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. After scolding Zhuang Shurong again, he turned to look at Mu Tangchuan beside him and said, “Tangchuan, when you and Ah Rong were engaged the last time, Grandfather was very satisfied to see you. Ah Rong is lucky to have found a husband like you. She’s more serious, so you have to bear with her more in the future, understand?”
As the Zhuang family’s old master spoke, he poured tea for the two of them while Elder Madam Zhuang went down to prepare dinner.
The room was very warm, especially since there was a brazier by the side. It was filled with burning charcoal. Zhuang Shurong sat beside the brazier and started a fire. She felt much warmer.
“Grandfather, don’t worry, I will.”
Mu Tangchuan lowered his head and sipped his tea before replying.
“Grandfather, don’t talk about me as if I’m unbearable. It’s his fortune to be able to marry me.”
Zhuang Shurong glanced at the Zhuang family’s old master unhappily and protested.
“How can I not understand your missy’s temper? She’s already spoiled, her parents spoiled her. They should have let you sign up for the Military Academy in the first place. How good would it be to be a soldier, right? Her spirit and appearance would be much more upright. Look at you now, you’re neither standing nor sitting.”
The old man was very straightforward. He said this because he wanted Zhuang Shurong to reflect on herself. Only then would she know where her shortcomings were and correct them.
“Grandfather…”
Zhuang Shurong looked at her grandfather helplessly. Every time she went home, he would do the same. He would give her a lecture first.
However, she also knew the old man’s good intentions, so she still had to listen.
“Alright, you two have some tea to warm yourselves. I’ll go check on your grandmother’s cooking.”
Elder Zhuang did not know how to cook at all, but it was one thing if he did not know how to cook. He just liked to stand at the side and point at others, teaching them how to cook. Because of this, Elder Madam Zhuang had always despised him.
“Grandfather, don’t bother Grandmother. Don’t you remember the last time Grandmother chased you out of the kitchen with a spatula?”contemporary romance
“What nonsense are you spouting? Her culinary skills are terrible. If it weren’t for my guidance, would she have the skills she has today?”
Elder Master Zhuang was unconvinced. He glanced at Zhuang Shurong unhappily and strode toward the kitchen without caring about Zhuang Shurong rolling her eyes.
Zhuang Shurong shrugged and looked at Mu Tangchuan helplessly. “Grandfather and Grandmother are a couple introduced to each other by the organization. Their way of getting along is a little unique, don’t take offense later…”
