How can one become an immortal if he is so lazy? Chapter 256: I thought the flavor faded as I got older, but I found out that it really faded away. Is it because people are unhappy?

"Do you think this is strange..."
In the house, Qing Yiyi measured Xiao Huo's height and waist with a ruler while chatting with her son who was looking for something in the closet.
"My dad, um, your grandpa, sent a letter saying that all the tribesmen who disappeared a few years ago have returned some time ago.
A good one, with fine skin and tender meat, doesn’t look like he has suffered outside. When I asked them where they went and how they came back, they all said they couldn’t remember. Xiaoyang, don’t you think this is magical?”
"Ah, it is indeed magical."
Hei Yang responded nonchalantly and expressed doubt.
"Mom, where did my black top go? How come I couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and you packed it up and disappeared again?"
"If anyone touches your clothes, look for them yourself..."
Halfway through her words, Qing Yiyi suddenly froze and remembered something.
"Oh, by the way, your piece is indeed no longer in the closet.
I saw that your clothes were too light, so I gave them to Xiaozhu’s house in Chengdongtou along with some old clothes.
Well, forget about that, mom will buy you a new one later."
"Ouch..."
Hei Yang nodded, bent over and continued exploring in the closet.
Qing Yiyi smiled and patted Xiao Huo's head, indicating that she could go play in the yard. The latter ran out like a gust of wind, while Qing Yiyi continued to chat slowly.
"Your grandpa and the others said that when the New Year is approaching and such a happy event happens, the whole royal capital is filled with joy.
This year there will probably be a big pomp and a lively celebration there!
When I received the letter the day before yesterday, your grandpa said that the Chinese New Year atmosphere there was much stronger than before, which made my mother want to take a look."
"Huh?!"
Hei Yang perked up: "What this means is that grandpa and the others won't come to our place for the Chinese New Year this year? That's great!"
"I'm going aside. I'm just meeting some relatives during the Chinese New Year. I'm scared to see you. They're all my family and they can't eat you."
Qing Yiyi rolled her eyes and hummed: "I'm overthinking it. Your grandpa is coming, your second grandpa is coming too, and people from the other three families will also come.
Although your grandpa said that in order not to disturb us too much, he would only choose some family members to come over.
But I think that even if it’s just a small part, the total number of people from our five families will be quite large!”
"Ah? Why is this like this——"
Hei Yang couldn't help but lament: "What a nightmare!"
"What's so bad?!"
Qing Yiyi slapped the ruler in her hand on the table, turned around and looked at her son threateningly.
"I'm telling you, when my relatives come here this year, please stay at home.
Even if you really can't stand it and want to go out, you have to show your face in front of everyone, otherwise people will say that this kid is too rude."
"Oh, what does this have to do with being impolite? I respect my elders very much. Do I have to rely on the New Year's Day to be polite?"
Hei Yang sighed and said: "Besides, I don't need to live to cater to their opinions. Our relatives who are really close to us wouldn't gossip like this, right?"
"I know you can't handle that situation. When the time comes, we adults can just talk. You can just sit next to us and show your face, smile or something, and the matter will be over."
Qing Yiyi patted Hei Yang on the shoulder and said in a long voice: "Besides, if you weren't there and people asked about your dad and me, we would look so embarrassed, wouldn't we?
Well, don’t care what they say, just go and support your parents, that’ll be fine!”
"Oh..."
Hei Yang sighed and said helplessly: "Mom, you said so, then I must go!"
"Hey, mom knows that Xiaoyang is the best."
Qing Yiyi smiled and patted her son on the head: "He is indeed a good son from his mother, he is filial and sensible!"
"No, if I don't be filial, who will be?"
Hei Yang hummed and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, have you taken some of the pills that Xiaoli and I brought back for you?
It’s that green color, it’s good for your health to eat it.”
"Ah, that, I've eaten it a long time ago."
Qing Yiyi stretched out, smiled and joked: "Mom and your father didn't taste anything. They opened their mouths and disappeared in the blink of an eye. They said that the son was really stingy and was not willing to spend money on his parents.
”
"What an injustice!"
Hei Yang said aggrievedly: "Mom, please forgive me. Although the elixir is not an elixir, if you take a mouthful of it, you will be able to ascend during the day. It can prolong your life and maintain your health. You can still feel it, right? <
/p>
The reason why I don’t give you too much is because it’s useless if you take too much of it. Instead, it will accumulate toxicity in your body due to excessive potency. That would be unfilial!”
"Okay, okay, I'm teasing you, stop pretending."
Qing Yiyi smiled, gently sat down on the chair next to the table, held her chin in one hand, and sighed.
"But then again, the New Year atmosphere in the capital is stronger, but the New Year atmosphere here is less. Last year's New Year celebration was almost like no New Year celebration. Although this year is better, it still lacks the atmosphere."
"There is nothing we can do about that."
Hei Yang also sighed, thinking of the deserted New Year last year, and sighed: "So many young people have died, how can it be possible to get over the sadness so quickly?
No one posted any couplets or New Year pictures last year, and I didn’t even see any for sale this year. It will probably take two or three years to recover."
"On the surface, it takes two or three years to recover. But in the hearts of parents, I'm afraid they won't be able to recover in twenty or thirty years."
Qing Yiyi sighed and looked at her son with some empathy, her eyes soft.
"Take the month when you and Xiaoli disappeared, your parents were so sad that their hearts almost broke.
It feels really uncomfortable to build a grave for your child with your own hands."
"..."
Hei Yang suddenly stopped, swayed, turned around and hugged his mother without saying a word, with an apology on his face.
"I'm really sorry, mom and dad, for making you sad for so long. My son will never make you sad again."
"Harm, as long as both of you are fine in the end."
Qing Yiyi gently rubbed her son's head and said warmly: "As parents, don't you just worry about your children all day long!"
"Well..."
Hei Yang's voice was dull: "It's great to have you here."
"Okay, okay, I know, even mom knows."
Qing Yiyi smiled: "Stand up and let mom have a look."
"Ouch."
Hei Yang stood up straight obediently and watched his mother take the ruler next to her and carefully measure his height.
When I was a child, my mother would measure him like this every New Year. When she saw her son growing taller, her face was filled with smiles.
However, during the 14th and 5th birthdays, my mother didn’t measure much anymore. She said she could tell at a glance whether her son had grown taller, so she didn’t need to measure anything anymore.
As a result, today, her mother picked up the ruler again and carefully measured Hei Yang's height. She smiled and said, "By the way, Yu Ying said that her Xiaoli has finally grown to over 1.6 meters tall. What do you think about this?"
Do you know?"
"Ah?!"
Hei Yang was shocked: "Real or fake?"
"How do I know? I haven't measured it. Her mother said it."
Qing Yiyi joked: "But when Xiaoli becomes your wife, you can help her measure her to see if she has grown taller."
"Ah this..."
Hei Yang's face turned slightly red and he said with a smile: "Hahaha, yes, yes."
【Heiyang: Where?】
[Hongli: What are you reporting?]
[Hei Yang: I heard that you have grown to over 1.6 meters tall?]
[Hongli: Uh...]
【Heiyang:What's wrong?】
[Hongli: That’s right, hahaha...]
[Hongli: Well...actually, I cheated. I secretly made minor repairs to the ruler at home.]
[Hongli: But after the measurement was completed, I changed it back!
Otherwise, when my mother uses it, she will find that the whole family has grown a centimeter or two taller...]
[Heiyang: Damn, what’s the use of deceiving yourself?]
[Hongli: Of course, as long as I don’t measure again, who knows that I will still be 1.57 meters? From now on, I will be a strong man in the 1.6 meter realm!]
[Hongli: Ouch! Heiyang, I trust you so much, you must keep it a secret for me. Don’t tell anyone, otherwise I will be embarrassed!]
[Hei Yang: I know, I know, just don’t tell me!]
[Hongli: Hehe!]
"Hmm...still 1.79 meters tall..."
Qing Yiyi squinted at the scale with a look of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"It's just a little short of 1.8 meters. In fact, it can be regarded as 1.8 meters, maybe?
Well, how about mom make the soles of your shoes thicker?
No, it’s easy to see. Can the insole be thicker? Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to wear..."
"Oh, my good mother, what's the point?"
Hei Yang waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "Anyway, most of the time, I am either sitting or lying down, and they can't tell my height.
In fact, it’s not bad to be shorter. It’s not easy to fall off when rolling around on the bed!”
"You! That's it!"
Qing Yiyi shook her head and laughed, taking two steps back, her eyes shining.
"Little Meatball, when I was pregnant with you, my mother said, oh, when can I come out to accompany my mother soon? Don't worry about it anymore!
When you come out, mom is thinking, oh, when will my little Yang grow up, start a family, and give birth to little Yang..."
Qing Yiyi smiled broadly: "It turns out, if you don't pay attention, you will grow up, become independent, find someone you like, and prepare to leave your mother and live on your own!"
"Mom, why are you leaving..."
Hei Yang felt inexplicably uncomfortable. It seemed that everyone was here and he had lost nothing, but his childhood seemed to be impossible to come back.
In Hei Yang's eyes at that time, his parents were the pillars holding up the world and his most stable support.
But when I grew up, I realized that in this vast world, my parents were also working hard to live, and suddenly I felt that they were very fragile and wanted to keep all bad things out of them.
When I'm not at home, I think about whether my parents fell down at home, whether they were unhappy, whether they were bullied by the neighbors...
Obviously, my parents' ability to withstand stress should be much stronger than mine, after all, they are older...
But I always feel that the shoulders that support me growing up and supporting this family can no longer and should not bear more things!
"Why leave!"
Hei Yang smiled and retorted: "The distance of a few steps is no different from sleeping in different rooms of the same home!
Mom, don’t say that, it makes me seem like a big evil person who wants to abandon you."
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."
Qing Yiyi smiled, reached out and took the clothes from Hei Yang, put them aside and carefully folded them neatly.
"Is there anything else you need to take away? Mom will help you pack it up. Stop by and see how my son's new home looks like."
"Hmm!"
Hei Yang nodded and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, by the way, how's that thing about Xiaosu that I told Mom about before?
It seems that Aunt Hongling and the others are leaving for other cities tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we can’t delay them.”
"Don't worry, Mom is doing things."
Qing Yiyi naturally turned her head to look at the mirror next to her, ruffled her hair and said with a smile.
"Xiaosu's child was sent there by your mother, me and his parents a long time ago. When you were running around in nowhere, I already got to know all the children who came to help!
Well, not all of them are children. Some of them look young. When asked about their age, my dear, they are several years older than your mother and me, but they call me aunt when they open their mouths, which makes people feel embarrassed."
"The seniority in the cultivation world is more chaotic than that in the capital, so don't worry about it."
Hei Yang said casually: "Hongli and I call them Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and they also call us Heiyang Brother and Hongli Sister, etc. We call each other our own."
"Weird."
Qing Yiyi couldn't help but complain, and suddenly thought of something, and laughed.
"When you said this, I remembered again that my sister, your aunt, Lian Lian, seems to be coming for the Chinese New Year today.
When the time comes, you come to her to wish her a happy New Year, and she might even give you a red envelope, hehe."
"Ah this..."
"What's wrong? Sorry?"
"That must be embarrassing."
"Let's talk about it then, hehe."
"No, Mom, you can't try your best to trick your own son!"
"It's only my own son who cheats. Mom said, it won't happen. Don't worry!"
