Chapter 141: The Past
Grandma Xia's "teacher" blew up the crowd of onlookers, and all of them felt the deep malice from the universe at this moment.
Of course, there are exceptions. Second Master Xia and Third Master Xia are insiders, and they have no special reaction to the relationship between Old Man Shu and Grandma Xia, but they think that decades later, it is a good story that the master and apprentice, who are both over half a hundred years old, can reunite here.
And Xia's mother and Xia Lele's children are not as big as the reaction of others, one doesn't care much about the past of the elders, and the other one doesn't understand it at all, and automatically transforms into a set board, observing the surrounding situation.
As for the others, their luck was not so good, they all opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened, and they rubbed their ears desperately, as if this could mean that they were auditory hallucinations at that moment.
Not to mention how surprised others are, that is, Bai Zhongqiu, who has grown up with Old Man Shu since he was a child and thinks he knows the old man's past very well, feels a little incredible when he sees this scene in front of him, first of all, he has never heard his grandfather mention what students he once received, although the Shu family is a businessman, but the foundation is still a scholar, if it is not for the pressure of life, he will not give up his career and turn to business. Since he is a scholar, he will naturally follow the rules of a scholar, and will not accept apprentices casually, even if he is a registered disciple, he will choose carefully. What's more, if he remembers correctly, Grandma Xia is a healer, and it has nothing to do with the inheritance of their Shu family. Could it be ...... Bai Zhongqiu frowned slightly, Grandma Xia is also a cultivator? If that's the case, it's really beyond their expectations!
What made Bai Zhongqiu feel particularly fortunate was that his facial expressions had never been very rich, although his heart had already turned up turbulent waves, his face was still calm and breezy. However, Bai Zhongqiu also thought about it, no matter how surprising this matter is, in the final analysis, it is also a matter between the old man and Grandma Xia, the elders can explain it if they are willing to explain it, and if they don't want to, they are not qualified to ask. But...... Bai Zhongqiu looked at Xia Xia, who was pulled by himself, and raised his eyebrows slightly, with this layer of relationship, the Shu family and the Xia family will be more intimate, and when he confesses to Ji Ji, it may play a very good role!
Summer didn't know what Bai Zhongqiu was thinking, although the frequency of their two brain waves was still quite the same, but occasionally there would be signal instability, and his grandmother's "teacher" shook him, he had never heard his grandmother say such a thing. Of course, it is natural not to say it, if it weren't for the previous coincidence, he wouldn't even know the relationship between his family and the Xia family in City B, let alone such a secret thing. Although understanding is understanding, he can accept this reality, but seriously, at that moment just now, he almost knelt down for his grandmother and Old Man Shu, if it wasn't for Bai Zhongqiu and Shu Chang to hold him in time, it is very possible to be planted on the ground. Even if he eased up a little, he still had the illusion of stepping on cotton, drifting, and not knowing where he was. He looked at Grandma Xia, and then at Old Man Shu, who was smiling and nodding his beard, and swallowed and foamed with difficulty.
"Grandma...... Ouch!"
As soon as Summer spoke, before he could say anything, his next words were interrupted by a small ball of meat that pounced on him. He didn't know what it was, but he still subconsciously stretched out his hands to catch the little meat ball, and before he could react, he looked at the little meat ball in his arms, and his face was imprinted with a wet baby kiss.
Summer looked at Xia Lele's child who was giggling at him, and sighed softly, this little thing is really enviable, stupid doesn't know anything, and is happy to be like this, if he can be like this with Lele, how good it would be. However, being so upset by Xiao Lele, the shock he received before was also washed away, and his heart was a little more relaxed. Summer hugged Xiao Lele twice, making Xiao Lele giggle and laugh, and the smile on his own face slowly became bigger.
Xia hugged Xiao Lele and dangled around, and inadvertently glanced at Bai Zhongqiu, who was still very calm and seemed to be out of the way, with the corner of his eye, and smiled evilly. He leaned over with the small ball of meat in his arms and pointed at Bai Zhongqiu's face towards Lele.
Although he hadn't seen him for a while, Lele still listened to his brother's words very much, although he couldn't understand it, he could understand what his brother was asking him to do, so he poked out his round little head, and with a "chirp", Bai Zhongqiu's face also had a wet saliva.
Bai Zhongqiu looked helplessly at the summer when the prank succeeded, and shook his head gently, although his face was wet, but in front of so many elders, it was not easy to take out a handkerchief to wipe it, and it should be very sad to be seen by Xiao Lele!
Xia Xia looked at Bai Zhongqiu, who had a tangled face, stuck out his tongue at him, shook his head proudly, saw Bai Zhongqiu raised his eyebrows at him, he, smiled evilly, pretended not to see it, lowered his head and kissed Lele's nose, and said softly, "Lele baby, do you miss your brother? Oh, yes, Lele is really a good baby!"
Just when the three children came and went, Grandma Xia had already invited Old Man Shu into the yard, Xia Erye and Xia Sanye were by her side, and the others followed up, leaving only a few children outside.
Holding Lele in the summer, he sent away the little beans who were going home, and then walked into the yard with Bai Zhongqiu and Shu Chang. When they ran to the hall, everyone had already done it, and Grandma Xia was explaining to everyone the origin between herself and Old Man Shu.
Everyone knows that Grandma Xia is an orphan girl, because she is a girl, she was abandoned by her biological parents as soon as she was born, and she still doesn't know where she came from. Grandma Xia's infancy and childhood were spent in the orphanage, when she was born, it was wartime, and there was an extreme shortage of materials, not to mention the children in the orphanage, it was a serious family, the family was not so rich, and the children were not easy to support. Of course, in places like orphanages, there have always been people who have been funded, and the people who can sponsor them are fashionable and take care of themselves, how can they take care of these children who have nothing to do with them. What's more, the rich people subsidize the orphanage, in addition to making a good name, there is no lack of some dirty thoughts. Those good-looking boys and girls, if they want to survive in the troubled times, they will inevitably obey these people's ideas.
"Don't be angry, at that time, it was not easy for the children of poor families, especially the abandoned children, to survive, as long as there was a little hope, they had to work hard, so I don't think there was anything bad about their choice. After Grandma Xia served tea to Old Man Shu, she said slowly, "However, others are others, I am me, and it has nothing to do with me what kind of life others choose, as long as you don't hit me with this idea." β
"Grandma, how did you meet grandpa?" Xia Xia sat next to Xia's mother with Xiao Lele in her arms, and by the way, she also pulled Bai Zhongqiu to sit down together, and then put the little meat ball in her hand in Bai Zhongqiu's arms. I don't know what good things his mother and grandmother have given this little guy to eat during this time, this little guy has grown more and more round, and his weight has increased dramatically, if it is another month or two, maybe he will not be able to hold it.
"I always don't cooperate with the actions of the dean's grandmother, she naturally can't tolerate me, and the food and clothing on weekdays have been deducted a lot, not to mention, when I passed my tenth birthday, she kicked me out of the orphanage on the pretext that I was already a big child, the hospital was not able to support me, and I should go out to support myself. Maybe it's because I haven't been helping to abuse the orphanage, and I was hit by the teacher's car not long after I got out of the orphanage. β
"Huh?" Xia plucked out his ears, pouted and looked at Grandma Xia, and then looked at Old Man Shu who seemed to be caught in his memories, "It's good luck to be hit by a car?"
"Little children, what do you know!" Grandma Xia looked at Xia Xia, then at Old Man Shu, and sighed softly, "If I hadn't been hit by the teacher's car, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had any chance of surviving." β
"Alas, the old man can be regarded as having done a great thing, if he knew that you fell in love with the eldest son and were driven out of City B by Lao Xia Touer, the old man would definitely fight hard with Lao Xia Touer. I finally cultivated a good student, but he was taken away by his son's wild bull, not to mention, he still dislikes it, where does he have the qualifications to dislike it!" Old Man Shu drank two sips of tea, looked at several children all looking at him, sneered, pointed at themselves, and said to Grandma Xia, "Look, look at these little ghosts like you back then?"
"Grandpa, but why haven't I ever heard you talk about this?" Shu Chang grabbed Xiao Lele's little paw and squeezed it in his hand, looked at Grandma Xia, and then at Old Man Shu, "The people in the family don't seem to know about this matter either." β
"It's a mistake!" Grandma Xia received Old Man Shu's gaze, cleared her throat, and continued, "I was ten years old when I was picked up by the teacher, and at that time, the teacher and my mother had no children, and they treated me as their own daughter, eating and drinking well, teaching me to read and write, and sending me to school. Time flew by, and before I knew it, I had been in my teacher's house for three years. Later, the teacher was ordered to transfer to another city, the teacher had just had a baby, the teacher was not at ease, so he naturally wanted to take it with him, and my studies were at a critical moment, and the teacher meant that it should never be wasted. So, I stayed in City B to continue my studies. Grandma Xia took two sips of the teacup, "I never thought that that farewell would be decades away." β
"Never been contacted?"
"During the war, communication was inconvenient and people were panicked, and in the first few months we could maintain the frequency of one letter a month, but after half a year, I never received a reply from my teacher. Grandma Xia looked at Old Man Shu, "I'm afraid the same is true for the teacher." β
"Yes, at that time, we were in the most critical period, we couldn't stay in every place for too long, and our work couldn't be too public, so we had to cut off the contact. I originally thought that with the conditions of our family, we could find you logically after the victory, but I didn't expect ......" Old Man Shu shook his head and sighed softly, "When your master and mother were alive, every time I thought of you, I always had to blame me for not bringing you with me, even when I passed away, I was worried about whether you were doing well and whether your life was happy or not, if I knew that the fiancΓ©e of the eldest son of the Xia family was you, I don't know how happy I would be!" Alas, the past cannot be mentioned again, but we have met today, and the wish of me and your wife has been fulfilled. If he is free in the future, he may wish to visit your wife's grave, and you two can talk. β
"Yes, students should do what they are told. Grandma Xia nodded, she didn't ask why her mother died, that is, she knew that her mother had been weak since she was a child, and if it wasn't for the teacher's careful care, I am afraid that she would not even have a child. Today is a good day for the master and apprentice to meet, and she doesn't want to spoil the atmosphere.
"But, I still don't understand, why do grandma and grandpa call each other as master and apprentice, they should be adoptive father and daughter!"
"I know that. He lifted his ...... Uh, Xiao Lele's fleshy paws, said excitedly.
"You know?" Summer looked at him with suspicion, "What do you know?"
"Grandpa Tai should be worried that Grandma Xia's biological parents will find him, so he is commensurate with his master and apprentice. β
"It's still Xiao Changchang smart, that's what the old man meant. However, there is another reason. β
"What is the reason?"
Old Man Shu looked at a few children with round eyes and pricked up ears, and smiled evilly, "This reason is ......"
"Uh-huh!"
"The old man doesn't tell you!" "The farmer actor
