After the greeting session at the door, Hyson returned to stay with Grandfather Xiang. Grandfather Zhai and Grandmother Zhai came to greet Grandfather Xiang.
"Old Xiang, you're really fortunate," said Grandfather Zhai heartily. "Your granddaughter is getting engaged. If Old Shui was alive, he'd actually be over the moon to know how your two families are being connected."
"Yes, I'm very fortunate," replied Grandfather Xiang as if he didn't notice the subtle hint in his old friend's words.
"Old fox, you really want me to spell it out for you?"
Grandfather Xiang laughed at that, "I'm a straightforward person and so is everyone in my family. It's you scholars who love to talk in circles. We military people just get to the point. So, I can't understand your hints at all."
Grandfather Zhai gave his old friend a disgruntled look.
