Chapter Forty-Six: Warm Chat
The ancient martial arts class in the afternoon is not like the grass and trees class in the morning, but just the hands. Of course, Ji Xiao was unexpectedly bullied very badly, and tasted the taste of being beaten all over his body by marbles.
Back at home, Ji Xiao finished taking a shower while cursing, and when he returned to the living room with wet hair, he had already changed into a slightly smiling face.
"Grandpa, are you alright?" She knocked on the kitchen door and shouted inside.
Grandpa's angry voice came from inside, "Okay, okay, right away." ”
Listening to his grandfather's voice, Ji Xiao was really curious, he didn't know what his grandfather would be like now after taking dragon blood resin for a day, it must be no different from those energetic uncles in the square in the morning, right?
Ji Xiao waited patiently on the sofa, really bored, and turned on the old-fashioned wall-mounted LCD TV on the wall, although the TV is very old, there are a lot of programs that can be watched.
Searching for the wild area channel, Ji Xiao watched it with relish.
The so-called wild area channel is to broadcast all the news related to the wild area, such as the new appearance of a certain monster in such and such a place, the discovery of a certain mineral vein in such and such a place, the attack of a certain city by a monster, and so on.
Just like now, there is a news in Shuanghu District on the news, and there are many monsters in the old forest of Duosen Mountain in Shuanghu District, so there are many monsters that appear after the catastrophe. Just this afternoon, a squad of ten people was ambushed by a pack of wolves and wiped out.
Some of the people in the team filmed a bloody battle before they died, and it was received by the nearest signal base station before it was picked up by the Wild District News Channel. Of course, in return, the Wild District News Channel will send someone to help them with the aftermath and pay a fee to their families.
It can be seen on TV that when everyone fell, the group of bloody wolves left in one direction, and the news host reminded at this time that the direction in which the wolves left was Shuanghu District, so that the people of Shuanghu District should try not to enter the wild area in the past two days, and the warriors who entered the wild area must also be careful, etc.
This channel was there before Ji Xiao was born, she saw it since she was a child, she didn't know how many times she had seen this bloody scene, she didn't think it was scary, but she was a little embarrassed, seeing that those martial artists just now were not very old, and their talents were still good, I couldn't imagine how sad their families would be if they went like this.
Just as he was thinking, the kitchen door suddenly opened, revealing the old man's smiling face, "Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat." ”
Ji Xiao was stunned, and then he almost jumped up with joy, "Grandpa, you have become younger!" ”
The old man still looked old at this time, after all, it had only been a day after taking the dragon's blood resin, but it was obvious that the old man was in good spirits, even the wrinkles on his face were much less, and the silver hair on his head began to turn a little black, and he looked at least ten years younger.
The old man's eyebrows fluttered, "Wait for two days, and in two days you will be able to see what grandpa looked like when he was young." ”
Ji Xiao nodded solemnly, "Well, grandpa must have been very handsome when he was young." ”
"That's," laughed the old man, "or who do you think you inherited from your good looks?" ”
The old man and the young man suddenly burst into laughter, and after laughing, the old man walked like a fly and brought out two dishes, a plate of fried pig and animal meat shreds, a plate of steamed carp, and then poured back to the kitchen and brought out a big bowl of snake soup.
Among them, there is still a little minced red in the shredded meat of the pig and beast, Ji Xiao heard the old man say that it is a chili pepper.
Ji Xiao didn't grow chili peppers at home, because the old man didn't save chili seeds at the beginning, but he bought them back in the world and cultivated them, but they didn't survive, and the price was too expensive, so the old man didn't buy them again.
I didn't expect my grandfather to buy chili peppers back today, this thing is not cheap, even if it is just a few chili peppers, the price is almost worth the plate of pork meat in front of him. And not to mention the mutant carp and mutant snake, it seems that grandpa is really in a good mood today.
It was also her negligence that her grandfather's physical recovery was such a big happy event, and she actually forgot to celebrate it.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiao suddenly ran out of the door, shouting as he ran: "Grandpa, wait a minute, I'll go buy something and come back." ”
She ran out of the neighborhood and quickly came to the shop on the street, and soon brought back a bottle of liquor.
"Yo, Xiaoxiao plans to accompany the old man for two drinks?" Seeing her come back with wine, the old man asked with a smile.
Ji Xiao said with a smile: "Grandpa's body is recovering today, so it is natural to drink two cups for such a big happy event." As she spoke, she had already come out of the kitchen with two small cups.
"Well, that's right." The old man smiled: "Grandpa is in good health now, Xiaoxiao won't have to work so hard in the future, I will do the work at home in the future, you can go to school hard." It's also a shame that he is in good health, and he can do many things at home in the future, otherwise he would be really embarrassed to spend his granddaughter's hard-earned money to buy these things.
"Am I supposed to take care of you, what's the hard work?" Ji Xiao pushed a full cup to his grandfather and said with a pout.
The old man didn't argue with her, he took a sip of the wine glass, and suddenly a long-lost spicy taste melted in his mouth, almost making him burst into tears.
I haven't tasted this in nearly 40 years, right? Since the catastrophe, his health has deteriorated, and he has long been afraid to touch such things as wine.
Ji Xiao also took a small bite, and soon coughed violently, and tears flowed down his eyes.
The old man laughed, and after laughing, he said, "The first time I drank almost like this, I slowly got used to it." ”
Ji Xiao wiped his tears indiscriminately, and said with teary eyes: "This wine is so strong, grandpa, my throat seems to be burning now." "Not only in my throat, but also in my stomach I felt a fire.
"It means that this is good wine." The old man said and took another sip.
Ji Xiao hadn't slowed down yet, so he had to eat desperately, and suddenly seemed to remember something, put down his chopsticks again, and said, "Grandpa, yesterday at the flower viewing banquet, someone invited me to join the National Institute of Mutant Plants. ”
The old man was stunned, "National Institute of Mutant Plants? ”
Ji Xiao nodded, "Well, it was invited by Mengjun's grandfather, and it seems to be a very strong martial artist." ”
"Good, good!" The old man suddenly laughed, looking very pleased, "Since it is Mengjun's grandfather, he will definitely not lie to you as a little girl, you can go and serve the country, in the eyes of our generation before, it is a supreme glory." ”
Ji Xiao originally decided to go, although the reason for the decision was different from his grandfather, but it didn't matter, the result was the same.
Ji Xiao immediately agreed.
"By the way," the old man suddenly spoke, his face becoming hesitant, "Will it be very hard in the research institute?" ”
He only cared about his own happiness, but he forgot that Xiaoxiao was finally more relaxed, and if he had to go back to the way before, he would never agree.
