(Feng Jiang Lei's POV)
I sit beside my grandfather, my father is sitting oppositely and my mother beside him. The meals are served. I offered a prayer silently and waited for my grandfather to eat. But he only stare at the dish that I cooked earlier, unmoving.
"Don't you like the dish that I've cooked grandfather?" I ask softly
He shake his head and silently pick the meat up and place it on his bowl. That is the cue. Mom placed lots of food in my bowl and dad did the same as what grandfather did, but his tears betrayed him. Dad wipe it and smiled.
Grandpa took a bite and savor the taste of the pork loin. Are they okay?
"It tastes the same, you're a talented child Lei'er. Remember to cook foods like this to me everyday, okay?" Grandfather said
I nodded, not knowing what exactly is happening.
"When mother was still alive she always cook this. I remember her scolding me that I only eat a layer of fat and nothing else, which she deem unhealthy for a teenage boy. Lei'er the food you made is so memorable to us, thank you dear." My father said
But I didn't know.
"Lei'er do you love to cook?" Grandfather asked
"Yes grandpa, I usually cook at home. Mom loves my cooking." I answered politely
"Do you want to start a business?" Grandfather asked, my eyes widen in disbelief, is he really offering me a hand?
Is this a sign that I'll be making a comeback to the business industry?
"I would love to grandpa, when I came to the capital I actually tried of thinking how to start a business, what type of business it will be and how I would run it. Will you lend me a hand grandpa?" I eagerly asked

My mom laugh at me "silly child"
"That's a good idea!" Dad seconded
"Considering the fact that noble ladies in the capital don't run their own businesses well this is an advantage for Lei'er. Do you have what it takes to run a business?" Grandpa asked
"I am hoping to learn from grandfather, this humble one knew how but I am afraid that what I knew might be less and not enough to deal with the real market competition. Will grandfather teach me?"
"Very well said! Ahahahaha, you will start learning from me then while we prepare the store for you. If your grandmother is here she will be very happy, having a granddaughter that is so similar to her. I'd be proud to tell my friends that I have a very capable granddaughter." My grandfather patted me on the head
"Come on let's eat! This house has never been any livelier since all of you came." Grandfather lamented, with his thoughts drifting to my grandmother.
My grandmother must be a 'strong independent woman' that's why my grandfather loves and misses her so much. I hope I'll learn something about her, maybe in journals or from my grandfather.
