Chapter 635: Chapter 635: The Real and Fake Heiress 28

The Cao Family is a military family.

Grandpa Cao is a big figure; Yuan Chun often sees him on television, so when she found out that he was actually Cao Shaowu’s grandfather, she got a bit nervous again.

The population of the Cao Family is very simple, so simple that it makes Yuan Chun hurt.

The Cao Family only has Grandpa Cao and his grandson Cao Shaowu; Cao Shaowu’s parents, two brothers, and two uncles all sacrificed their lives.

When Cao Shaowu was a child, his wish was also to join the military and be a great hero like his grandfather, father, and uncles—a soldier who serves the country and the people.

But after his parents, uncles, and brothers sacrificed their lives one by one, Grandpa Cao said he would never allow the last remaining young sprout of the Cao Family to join the military again.

Cao Shaowu couldn’t bear to go against his grandfather, so he chose to work at the police station.

And the tasks he takes on are also relatively easy.

No one lets him participate in dangerous work; he also understands how important he is to Grandpa and the Cao Family, being the family’s only young sprout.

The only relative Grandpa has.

Grandpa Cao is very approachable, with a kind and gentle demeanor. Upon meeting Yuan Chun, he continually praised her, "Good, good, this girl is beautiful, my Xiao Wu has good taste."

"I heard from Xiao Wu that you opened your own braised meat shop. You’re really capable; this little girl is all by herself in Beijing and has carved out a little space of her own—impressive, very impressive."

"I’ve tasted the braised meat you made. It’s even better than what Old Zhang makes. Next time you come to visit Grandpa, bring some of your braised pig’s head meat for Grandpa to eat; Grandpa loves it."

Before Yuan Chun could agree, Cao Shaowu pulled a stern face and said, "Grandpa, you’re being naughty again. Grandpa Chen said you have gout and can’t eat pig’s head meat. The last time I brought some for you to taste was just to let you try your granddaughter-in-law’s cooking. You can’t eat more."

Grandpa Cao looked aggrieved and said, "I’m practically buried up to my neck in the ground and don’t have many years left to live. I just have this one hobby, can’t you let me enjoy a little before I die, satisfy my cravings? Living suppressed and uncomfortable is worse than dying happily."

"Nonsense, nonsense, Grandpa, may you live long and prosper, don’t keep talking about death all the time; it’s unlucky."

Cao Shaowu had a grim look on his face. "Xiao Chun’s braised meat shop has not only braised pig’s head meat but also braised pig’s tongue, braised pig’s heart, and braised ribs. I’ll bring you some braised ribs and braised pig’s tongue tomorrow."

Grandpa Cao slapped his grandson on the back of his head, scolding, "You brat, why wait until tomorrow? Why didn’t you bring it earlier? You know Grandpa loves braised meat, yet you hide it to eat for yourself. You even have Xiao Hu watching me eat, not letting me eat this, not letting me eat that. I crave meat so badly my mouth waters enough to soak rice."

Yuan Chun never imagined that the serious, prestigious old man she saw on television would actually be so down-to-earth in private, just like an ordinary elderly man, craving meat enough to drool.

Yuan Chun broke into a smile, "Grandpa, I’ll bring you some braised meat tomorrow afternoon. But, Grandpa, you have gout, so you should eat less meat."

"Grandpa, you see, even your granddaughter-in-law doesn’t approve of you eating meat every day." Cao Shaowu said proudly, as if he had found an ally.

Grandpa Cao’s mouth curled down in grievance, but he still listened to his granddaughter-in-law’s words and promised, "I’ll just eat a few pieces at a time, won’t eat too much."

Only then did Cao Shaowu become happy, "Grandpa, Xiao Chun bought bananas for you, I’ll peel one for you."

Grandpa Cao took the banana from his hand, waved him away, "No need for you to peel, brat, go, go, quickly tidy up the guest room. None of you are allowed to leave today; stay and keep this old man company for a couple of days."
