Chapter 40: Schemes
Thinking like this, he soon arrived in front of the Buddhist temple. A few wisps of cooking smoke wafted in, white, faint, and very beautiful. He found the old lady with ease. At this time, she was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, reciting the scriptures reverently.
Such a solemn atmosphere made him have to be solemn. He bent respectfully and changed gently.
"Grandma. ”
And the old lady who was chanting Buddha on the side didn't even raise her eyelids, and muttered vague Buddhist scriptures in her mouth. makes people listen to it, and they don't feel in a trance.
Finally, when the old lady had finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, she slowly got up from the mat. Xi Muchen hurriedly went over to help her. Her old, withered hand rested on his, and with his strength she finally rose to her feet without danger.
"Really...... People are getting old...... It will be inconvenient to move......" The old lady pursed her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with her body.
But when she saw his grandson, there was a gleam in her eyes. Instantaneously came the spirit. said to Xi Muchen with a smile.
"Achen—you're back—" However, she changed her words, "Why didn't you come back in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve—grandma misses you!"
Xi Muchen naturally didn't want to directly explain that he was making a promise. I had to play sloppy with the old lady.
"There are some things in the company, take care of them. ”
Don't look at the old lady's age, she is shrewd. Back then, she followed Grandpa Xi all the way through ups and downs. She knew that he was lying, but she still gave him face and went down his steps.
"You young people, you know how to be busy!" she said with some disgust.
And Xi Muchen on the side continued to play Tai Chi with her.
"No way. Something is urgent. He reminded the old lady to watch out for the road.
The old lady looked carefully at the mountain road. There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"Achen—you're back this time—do you have a favorite girl—" The old lady took the initiative to stir up the topic. There was obviously a taste of temptation in Xi Muchen's words.
Xi Muchen listened, and a promised face flashed in his mind. His eyes twinkled at the thought of her. But at this time, it is not possible to find out. He could only continue to perfunctory.
"Not yet. ”
When the old lady heard this, she was about to laugh out loud. But there is still a sad look on his face.
"Oh! Achen! Grandma thought you went out to play with your girlfriend in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve! I originally wanted you to bring it to see, so I held this banquet for you!"
He shook the old lady's hand, as if he didn't expect the old lady to be so shrewd. On weekdays, he looks mediocre and has feelings that are pretended! And he naturally does not dare to reveal the slightest other emotion on his face, for fear that if he is not careful, the old lady will notice it, and then the matter will be troublesome!
The old lady didn't seem to feel the tremor he had just made, and after a moment of conversation, she continued.
"But fortunately, there are so many girls attending the banquet, you, hurry up and choose a good granddaughter-in-law for grandma!"
It turns out that she is looking for me for this matter! Xi Muchen suddenly realized. He had an idea, and suddenly the words in his heart blurted out. From now on, he always felt very sorry for his words.
"Grandma, you ...... Could it be that you are a good candidate?"
The old lady slapped her thigh and called Xi Muchen smart. She smiled at him incomprehensibly. She really likes the wit of this eldest grandson!
"Grandma, there is a good candidate-" The old lady said, quietly glanced at the expressionless Xi Muchen, and continued to speak, "This girl, grandma likes it." I'm sure you've got a crush on her, too!"
He secretly screamed that it was not good, he obviously fell for the old lady's plan!
