Answer

In this case, "grinding on it" means that Jake is still mentioning what happened.  Charlie is saying he should forget what happened and move on, which is silly, because it just happened.  
So Jake blamed his uncle, who immediately said that he should forget about what happened and move on.

Answer

"grinding on it" = still talking about it.
"dragging on"= making slow progress
