Grandma Xiao became anxious, "Wouldn't it be impossible to get the fish's pearls back?"
"……uncertain."
Grandpa Xiao shook his head, "Young people may just come to the teahouse to drink tea on a whim or out of curiosity. Maybe they won't come again next time."
"But not the old man."
"It's hard to say whether the child will come again. The old man with the child should come again."
"Um."
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, "I have confidence in our tea."
Hearing this, Father Xiao and others couldn't help but laugh.
"That old man will definitely come again."
Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao's mother, the Xiao family's grandma, "Mom, grandma, please help me pay attention."
Among the people present, only Xiao's mother and Xiao's grandma knew each other's appearance.
"If he comes, tell me."
"Let me explain to the old man."
"OK."
Mother Xiao nodded, "Your grandma and I will help you pay attention."
"Of course you are the one who came back to explain."
Grandpa Xiao took it for granted, "We don't know much about this matter either."
"When people ask about some details, we can't answer them."
"At that time, people will think that we have evil intentions and intend to blackmail."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
It was precisely because of this concern that he told Mother Xiao and others from the beginning that when they saw the old man, they did not need to go forward to negotiate, they could just call him and ask him to come back.
He does the rest.
…
After Xiao Xiao had an early dinner at home, he went back to school.
Tomorrow is the beginning of the new semester.
Winter vacation is over.
It's not easy for him to wait for news at home.
Besides, he has class early tomorrow morning.
…
"Lao San, are you back?"
Zhang Bo waved casually to Xiao Xiao who came in. He glanced at Xiao Xiao from the corner of his eye and quickly returned to the computer screen, "So late?"
"Is the matter done?"
…
"The matter on the phone has been settled."
"Oh, it's done-"
Halfway through, Zhang Bo suddenly felt something was wrong, "Has the matter on the phone been settled?"
"Is there anything else you haven't done yet?"
He finally turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Is it troublesome?"
"Third brother, do you need help?"
Zhao Luzheng asked with concern.
"Third brother, you are really busy."
Zhuge Yun smacked his lips, "When you go out, you do one thing, and when you come back, it's two things. One thing is done, but there is still another thing hanging around."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's not a troublesome thing."
"It just takes a while."
Zhang Bo looked at Xiao Xiao silently for a while, then nodded, "Oh, that's good."
His eyes turned back to the computer screen.
…
On Saturday afternoon, Xiao Xiao received a call from Xiao’s mother.
"Xiaoxiao, that old man is here."
Mother Xiao's voice was a little excited, "The children are here too."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
"Not urgent."
Xiao's mother warned Xiao Xiao, "How can anyone get better just by drinking tea?"
"Plenty of time."
"Just come here slowly and be careful on the road."
"Well, I understand."
"Mom, see you later."
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.
…
"Classmate, is this the place?"
The uncle driver raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror at the young man sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Xiao Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw when he turned his head was the entrance of the alley that he was very familiar with. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, "Yes, this is it."
After paying the fare, Xiao Xiao opened the door and got out of the car.
The driver had a smile on his face and an enthusiastic attitude, "Slow down, classmate."
…
Xiao Xiao walked into the courtyard.
He didn't stay too long in the yard. He stretched out his hand to touch the head of Li who couldn't stop the car as usual. He also said hello to the baby spoon that flew over after him, and then he went straight into the house.
…
"Xiaoxiao is back."
Xiao's mother opened the kitchen curtain and happened to see Xiao Xiao walking over, with a smile on her face.
"mom."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched.
"You come with me."
Xiao's mother didn't procrastinate either.
The children have to go back to school later.
It's too late and it will get dark.
The road is not safe.
…
"It's the table of guests sitting at the innermost seat by the window."
Xiao's mother indicated Xiao Xiao's location.
Xiao Xiao looked over.
A pair of grandfather and grandson sat facing each other.
The child's cheeks were bulging, he was holding a snack in one hand, and the other hand was already reaching for the plate.
His greedy appearance made the tea drinkers around him laugh a little.
The child's grandfather also shook his head in a funny way.
He reached out and wiped the residue from the corner of the child's mouth, "Eat slowly."
"No one will rob you."
"Be careful of choking."
"Well-"
As soon as the child opened his mouth, he sprayed crumbs all over the table.
"Do not talk."
The old man said hurriedly, "Look, you kid..."
The child subconsciously wanted to cover his mouth with his hands, but found that he had something in his hands, and his movements stopped there for a moment.
Looking at his grandson in a funny posture, the old man twitched his eyebrows and said, "Little greedy guy."
"Why take so much at once?"
"How ugly."
"Eat one and then take the next one."
"do you know?"
…
Xiao Xiao walked to the grandfather and grandson and said, "I'm sorry, old man."
"excuse me."
The old man turned his head when he heard the sound and looked doubtfully at the young man who came to talk to him, "What's the matter?"
"you-"
"Xiaoxiao."
A sudden voice interrupted Xiao Xiao's words, "You haven't gone to school yet?"
"Grandpa Gu."
Xiao Xiao recognized the owner of the voice and raised his eyes.
As expected, it was Mr. Gu, "I have something to do and I'll be back soon."
With his eyes narrowed and his slightly chubby figure, Mr. Gu looked like the kind and lovable Maitreya Buddha when he smiled.
"That's it."
"...I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
When I walked into Gu Lao, I realized that Xiaoxiao seemed to be talking to people.
Still a strange old man.
He has been to Xiao's Teahouse a lot, and he has an impression of almost all the guests who have been to the teahouse several times.
"Feel sorry."
Gu Laochong smiled apologetically at the old man in his seat, then waved his hand to Xiao Xiao, "You guys chat."
"I won't disturb you anymore."
Gu Lao put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards his old friend who was already waving to him.
…
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao continued his interrupted self-introduction.
"This teahouse is currently run by my father."
"Ah? Oh."
The old man was confused and didn't understand what the young man wanted to say.
However, Mr. Gu's interruption just now confirmed from the side that the young man's identity should be fine, which made the old man less wary of this young man.
"I have something to tell you."
Xiao Xiao also saw the subtle change in the old man's attitude, and mentally praised Mr. Gu's timely appearance, "It's a little long story."
