Chapter 213: The old man with a cold face and a warm heart
A very ordinary black-bottomed pottery bowl, which contains half a bowl of milky white fish soup, and the delicious and fragrant smell lingers on the tip of the nose, making people appetizing just by smelling it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Carefully picked out a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, picked it into the old man's bowl, and watched him squint comfortably and drink it, Su Mo picked up his bowl, took a sip comfortably, closed his eyes slightly, and let the fresh soup soak back and forth on his tongue a few times, and after fully tasting the deliciousness, he swallowed it slowly. Then, the bar snorted and let out a happy grunt.
The old man on the other side glared at him angrily, not for him to make such a vulgar voice. Of course, this is one of the reasons why he is annoyed. If you drink soup, drink soup, what kind of mouth, it's really not a gentleman's manners.
Well, the real reason for his annoyance is why this stinky boy treats him differently? Why only to the old man next to him who is cool and picky, and the one who serves him is called a car, but to himself who is close at hand, it is as if he has not seen it. Not to mention serving, if you don't even have a look, are you a dead person?
Bastard, it's so disgusting! It's so rude! It's ...... The old man blew his beard and stared at him, but he could only be angry with himself, which was suffocating.
Why is Su Mo like this? Because Teacher Su seems to be a peaceful person, but in fact he is also extremely arrogant. How could he not see that the old guy on the other side was actually very unpleasant to him at first?
The stinky old man doesn't like it, and I don't like you. If it weren't for the fact that you are a lot older, and my brother is a good young man who respects the old and loves the young, he would look at my brother like that just now, and directly beat you up for five taels of silver.
The old man and the young fought silently, and the old man was amused to watch. The eyes narrowed more and more, the beard shook and shook, and the smug look on his face made the old man opposite even more angry.
"That boy!" the old man rolled his eyes, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice.
Su Mo plucked his ears with his little finger, as if he hadn't heard it, but he looked up at the old man beside him: "Old man, what is your surname? Come, get to know, na, I'll say first, my surname is Su, a single name is Mo, the word is true, I am sixteen years old this year, and I live in Sujiazhuang not far from there. If you want to go back, go and stay in my village for two days, and I'll make you something to eat, okay?"
As he spoke, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief that the little bastard was ignoring him. How many years have passed, and there are still people in the world who dare to ignore themselves in the Ming Dynasty?
The old man's chest rose and fell sharply, but the old man was more amused, and he couldn't help laughing. also deliberately ignored him, turned his head to look at Su Mo, reached out to touch his head, nodded and said, "My surname is Xu, you can call me Grandpa Xu." Mmmm, good boy, you are a likable child, Grandpa Xu likes it very much. Huh, you said your name is Su Mo, the Su Mo who did "Linjiang Immortal"?"
At the end of Old Man Xu's words, he suddenly reacted, his eyes widened slightly, and he asked in surprise. The old man on the opposite side was already in a rage, but at this time, his face was also shocked, and he looked at the somewhat embarrassed young man in front of him in a daze.
Someone touched his head like this...... Su Mo felt very awkward. How many years have I not enjoyed this kind of treatment? The memory is so long that it is separated by a reincarnation.
"yes, that's me. Without showing a trace, he dodged his head away from Old Man Xu's hands, Su Mo responded with a smile, and said with a smile: "The old man has also heard of "Linjiang Immortal"?
Old man Xu and the old man opposite glanced at each other, and a deep meaning flashed in their eyes. Only then did he praise him: "Yes, Grandpa Xu has also read it." Like, love. It's just hard to imagine that the words were written by a sixteen-year-old boy like you. If you say that you are forty or fifty years old, it is normal. ”
Su Mo looked proud, "Genius is immeasurable. Obviously, I'm a genius. So it's no surprise that the world is big, and there are always countless miracles. As long as you believe, then anything is possible. ”
Anything is possible if you believe. When the two old men heard this, they thought about it at the same time. When I tasted it, there was a surprise flash in my eyes.
"A gentleman should be humble and self-motivated, and the stinky boy is proud of something. The old man on the other side came back to his senses first, and he couldn't see someone's sting, so he couldn't help but striking.
Su Mo rolled his eyes and pouted, "Look, aren't I just trying to motivate myself? What else do you want from me? Everything should be done in moderation, and if it is too much, it is not self-motivation, but arrogance." The old man, arrogance, is unacceptable. ”
It was as if he was the older one, and the old man on the other side was a hairy boy. And there was a faint insinuation in the words that the old man was targeting himself, which was quite exhortatory.
The old man was choked, staring at him, but he couldn't say anything. Old man Xu laughed again, opening his mouth with several missing teeth, which was called a joy.
The old man glared at him hatefully, thought about it, changed the topic, and said with a straight face: "The township test is imminent, since you are a scholar, you are not good at studying at home, but you run out to play around, are you not afraid of falling into Sun Mountain? Look at your face, are you going to flirt with women, this is why you have been beaten, you deserve it!"
Dead old man, his mouth is so poisonous! Teacher Su was exposed, and he was a little annoyed and angry. He glared and said, "Hey, old man, we don't have a grudge, don't slander me! Which eye did you see me molesting a woman? And which eye saw me being beaten?"
The old man sneered and snorted, "Don't admit it, if it's not for the molesting woman, what's the matter with your face? What you said when you came here earlier, didn't we hear it?"
Su Mo was speechless, held back, and said angrily: "What did I say......? I'm just hitting myself, don't think you're old enough to rely on, and if you talk nonsense, I'll sue you for slander!"
The old man saw that he was angry, but he was not angry, he smiled, pointed to his dark blue eyes and laughed: "You hit yourself? You can hit an eye, didn't you find a position in advance? ”
Su Mo was a little crazy, and said with a stiff neck: "You're really right, I just found a position in advance, and I just deliberately hit it like this." Why, you bite me. ”
What a scoundrel.
The old man was a little dumbfounded, I don't know how many scholars and literati I have seen in my life, which one doesn't pay great attention to demeanor? Even if there is that shameless, he has to pretend to be a face even if he is pretending. But like Mr. Su, who had no scruples, he almost rolled on the ground on the spot, and it was really the first time he had seen it, which made him suddenly feel a little at a loss.
"Hahahaha......" The old man Xu next to him laughed straight down, and he had a handful of snot and tears, and he couldn't breathe evenly after laughing, and coughed coughing.
Su Mo hurriedly turned around and helped him wipe it again, and while wiping it, he also helped him stroke his back, and complained: "Take it easy, can you still do it? It's about my temperament, it's a very serious question, it's not good for you to laugh like this." ”
Old man Xu wanted to laugh again, and his cough was hoarse, and it was easy to calm down. Su Mo got closer this time, only to find that the old man's eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
It's some cataracts, and it's clear that the eyes are very bad, and it looks like they're looking at people with their eyes open, but in fact they are out of focus.
This old man gave him a very close feeling, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw him like this. In the anxiety, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought crossed his heart.
The old man on the opposite side was smiling and his face was blue and red, the two elders had been friends for decades, of course he understood what Old Man Xu was laughing at. He was laughing at himself, he was competing with a child, and unconsciously fell into the rhythm of the child's words.
Thinking of this, I also blushed and couldn't help but sigh. It's just that his face refuses to show timidity, and he snorts: "What else can you do but play tricks? A dignified young talent, wasted time, don't you know that every inch of time is worth it? After all, you are just a child, and the township test is about to begin, how can you refuse to study with peace of mind, how can you succeed in this way? How can you be worthy of this intelligence?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Mo couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The old man still seemed to be reprimanding, but the sincere exhortation and encouragement in his words were obvious.
This is an old man who is strict on the outside, but is actually kind on the inside. He quietly defined the old man.
stroked the old man's back, served him and drank a mouthful of soup, and when he stopped coughing, he turned his head to look at the old man, but he didn't say a word.
The old man glared at him at first, but after a while, he became awkward. Those clear eyes are like being washed millions of times by a mountain spring, transparent and bright, without half impurities. Looking at such a pair of eyes, it seems that all secrets have been seen through.
"Ahem, what are you looking at? I don't have anything to say!" he covered his face with anger, glared fiercely, and looked away.
Su Mo suddenly smiled, clenched his fists and said, "Old man, what is your surname?"
The old man was stunned, never thinking about why he suddenly asked his name and surname. Subconsciously blurted out: "The old man's surname is Wang, and his name is ......., uh, what are you doing?"
Su Mo gritted his teeth and bowed again: "No, I really thank you for being old." Thank you for your old care and encouragement. As he spoke, he stood up and respectfully bowed to the end.
The old man surnamed Wang was suddenly a little at a loss. Just now, this little bastard didn't contradict himself big or small, but he didn't feel anything. But suddenly such a change, such a condescending manner, made him suddenly uncomfortable. Well, to be exact, it's a kind of embarrassment that someone has pierced your mind.
"Hmph...... Ahem, ahem, what..... care and encouragement, mess. Don't come to this set!" The old man held his head high, as if full of disdain. But the relief in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows can't be hidden.
"Actually, the kid didn't plan to take the township test. Next, Su Mo's faint words suddenly came to his ears, which suddenly surprised the old man, Huo Ran turned his head, and there was no longer half a smile on his face.
