Chapter 055: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
At noon, grandpa called and said that he would not go home for dinner, this was really a good opportunity, Xin'er was thinking about how she could not know grandpa, God help me.
Despite this, Xin'er is still not so calm, she makes ten hands together, her eyes are slightly closed, and she worships her "thief" heart sincerely: Now the situation is different, it is related to the fate and future of my brother, grandpa, you must forgive me!
Xin'er tiptoed to the room, grandpa is a person of special knowledge, and this kind of person often likes to read more than ordinary people, grandpa's room has so many books, the bookcase is piled up, the key is in the bottom layer on the left in a large book, the title of the book is "Science and Nature", it can be seen that this book has been turned many times, and the pages are yellowed.
The key is in hand, and then she walked to the side of another bookcase, only to see a small copper lock on the side wall of this bookcase, grandpa is a very strict person, Xin'er knows, she is very careful to open the small lock, there is a stack of newspapers, a strangely shaped jade pendant, an ancient silk picture, the seal book on the picture Xin'er can't understand, and I don't have the heart to see, the medical record is at the bottom, although Xin'er is nervous and scared, the slender jade fingers holding the mobile phone tremble slightly, she scans the contents of the medical record one by one, The atmosphere is really like a reproduction of World War II spy movies on TV, but fortunately, the whole process is quite smooth.
Xin'er was done, leaning on the sofa in the living room, she didn't have the heart to eat this lunch, she thought a lot, strange, grandpa didn't use his own things to lock, why did he lock his brother's medical records so well, and the pendant, it should be my brother's, what happened to the ancient seal?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out after all, Xin'er is wondering, the door opened, it's grandpa coming home, didn't he say he wouldn't go home for dinner?
"Grandpa, why are you back!" Xin'er was a little apprehensive.
"Hey, I'm not worried about Xin'er's craftsmanship!" Mao Bowen quipped that he didn't seem to notice Xin'er's abnormality.
"Okay!" Xin'er came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I was going to lose weight at noon, but it seems that I don't need to, I'll go cook, grandpa wait, it'll be fine soon." β
"Uh-huh, good!"
Mao Bowen said yes and walked into his room.
"Grandpa, it's time to eatβgrandpa!"
The food was fragrant, Xin'er happily called grandpa to eat, strange, what about the old man, there was no movement in the room at all, Xin'er subconsciously poked her head out of the crack in the door, and saw that grandpa was rummaging through something in the bookcase. I really don't know if I don't know it, and I'm shocked when I see it: grandpa is holding that wall box in his hand! Could it be that her behavior was "revealed", Xin'er's heart couldn't help but raise her throat, and the door frame next to her right hand also squeaked due to the sudden force.
Who? Grandpa raised his vigilant eyes, the door was wide open, he saw Xin'er's frightened appearance a little unbearable, these two days I heard that Dai Er's house was stolen, Lao Mao has been alert, but the things are still there, so I didn't feel anything suspicious, I didn't expect someone to really move today, but it was Xin'er.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
At the dinner table, Lao Mao's face was still solemn, but his tone was very calm, perhaps in order to dispel his granddaughter's doubts, he took another bite of rice.
"It's me."
Xin'er didn't dare to hide it, grandpa is a good person, she is the closest person in this world, he is not willing to do what he does by himself must have his reasons, since he is now discovered by his grandfather, simply, what brother wants to commit suicide, what good sister Le'er helps enthusiastically support, several good friends work together and so on all confess one by one.
After finishing speaking, Xin'er looked at her grandfather, the old man didn't say a word, his originally deep eyes seemed dim, and the ends of his nose trembled slightly, this old man was blaming himself for his strictness, Xin'er had never seen her grandfather look so deep, she was so shocked that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again.
After a while, the old man suddenly asked, "Are you talking about Le'er called Xiao Yao Tongle?" β
"Huh?" Xin'er didn't react for a while, "Yes, how do you know?" β
Lao Mao didn't answer, but he took a long breath, and seemed to have made up his mind:
"Tell me I want to see her!"
"What do you want, sir?"
"Two cups of milk tea, no, one cup first, thank you"
The business of "Maccafe" is still hot, if it weren't for the girl's reservation in advance, she would have to queue for a long time.
Today is the end of the month, and it is a double day, the guests in the restaurant are interested in "guessing the tea riddle", the so-called "tea riddle", in fact, the boss Mike imitated the ancient Chinese "guess the lantern riddle" evolved, where the guess is free of tea, today's tea riddle is "a wellhead field can produce rice for ten people to eat, play six numbers", there is a special host in the restaurant lobby to introduce the rules of the game, the original six numbers of the riddle is a set of passwords, solve the password can obtain the annual membership of "Mike Cafe", This means that the guesser is not only free of charge, but also can dine all year round without reservation and without queuing, which is really rare! No wonder guests flock to it today.
Lao Mao secretly admires this foreigner's business acumen, but he is not interested in guessing riddles, maybe he doesn't have the leisure to do it, or maybe he is used to guessing riddles over the years, and he is really tired.
In the past two days, his mood has been very unstable, sometimes angry, sometimes relaxed and calm, to be honest, he wonders if he is suffering from neurasthenia, it seems that he has not calmed down, and now is also: why did the girl choose this place? Do you think you're old-fashioned, or are you old-fashioned?
In this era, maybe I'm really out!
Xiao Yao Tongle thought that she would come first, but she was already late depending on the situation, and she was very reluctant to let an old man wait for her.
"You are Grandpa Mao, I'm Xiao Yao, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Lao Mao smiled and nodded, motioning for her to sit down, the girl in front of her was pretty, and she was dressed fresh and decent, and thought to herself: No wonder it provoked our family Xiaoyi to move the hearts of mortals, I want to see if your Excellency is an angel or Daji.
"During this time, I often heard Xiaoyi mention you." Lao Mao deliberately talked about Qin Yi first, seeing the little girl's embarrassed face, he couldn't bear to tease her anymore, "Listen to Xin'er, you are all good friends." Is it? β
"Hmm!"
To be honest, Le'er's subjective impression of this old man is not good, judging from his strict methods towards Qin Yi since he was a child, he is absolutely old-fashioned, cold, and unapproachable...... Le'er is ready to be criticized.
"I heard Xin'er say that you want to see Xiaoyi's medical records, right?" Lao Mao pointed to the yellow paper bag in his hand, "I can give it to you, but I want to know how you met, can I?" β
For more than ten years, Lao Mao has been worried about the people he has been dating Qin Yi, whether men or women, about their motives, intentions, and purposes, and this time, it is no exception.
The question came as a surprise to Le'er, who had thought she would be severely reprimanded: it was not a noble thing to instigate his granddaughter to steal medical records. However, since this old man is willing to do what she wants, for Qin Yi, and for herself, such a question is naturally not a problem, she sorted out her thoughts, skipped the part where she secretly took pictures of the pervert, and talked directly from the tea restaurant party, and talked about the welfare home meeting again and becoming very good friends.
Hearing this, Lao Mao interjected: "Well, speaking of which, I also want to thank you and your mother, the old man you treated is my best friend, and you will definitely convey my gratitude to your mother on my behalf when you go home!" β
Lao Mao's sincere attitude moved Le'er very much, she didn't understand, how could such an old man treat Qin Yi so harshly, although this idea only disappeared in a flash, but it had greatly changed her impression of this old man.
"We're doctors!" Le'er looked proud.
Lao Mao smiled with satisfaction, this girl, caring and responsible, isn't it the kind of person that Uncle Sixteen said! He had no worries, and hurriedly took out Xiao Yi's medical record from the paper bag:
"Xiao Yi suffers from a rare congenital immunodeficiency, which lacks resistance to the bacteria in the raw water, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening!"
"Why is this happening?" Le'er looked at it carefully, and became more and more worried, "Could this be the reason why he suffers from depression?" β
Lao Mao was noncommittal, Le'er suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lao Mao: "I'm sorry, we all blame you"
"You guys?"
"Yes, a few of our good friends have been misunderstanding you, now please rest assured, I will help you clarify."
Lao Mao could only smile bitterly, and suddenly he became vigilant again: "This matter is very important to Qin Yi, you have to ......"
"Don't worry, a few of us have sworn to keep it a secret!" Le'er had already guessed his worries, "I'll take this medical record back first, my parents may have some solutions!" β
"I know this, everyone in your family is a famous doctor." Mao Bowen seems to have some understanding of Le'er's family situation, "Xiaoyi is not an ordinary boy, I want to make three chapters of the law to remind him to drink boiled water, not to stimulate him, and not to provoke him too much." β
"Don't worry, a few of our good friends will pay attention." Qin Yi is allergic to general water quality, this Le'er has known it for a long time, as for not being able to stimulate him and provoke him, Le'er thought that Grandpa Mao was referring to the psychological level, so he agreed.
Lao Mao wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while, it seems that maybe, in the future, Xiaoyi will never be able to worry about it anymore!
