Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5708 Small talk
"It just so happened that I ran into it."

Xiao Xiao's lips curled up.

……

"This chess manual should belong to Grandpa."

Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

……

The old man beamed with joy.

"It's the old man's grandson who's lucky."

"I got this chess manual for the old man."

……

"Let me think about it carefully later..."

After receiving this chess manual, the old man remained somewhat agitated.

"Let's see if this time I can improve my chess skills a bit more..."

……

"okay."

The old lady gave the old man a slight glare.

"eat first."

"Stop thinking about your chess records."

"It's yours."

"There will be plenty of time to study this later."

"Don't overthink it."

……

The old man gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Ah."

"Have a meal."

"Have a meal."

……

"correct."

The old man looked like he had thought of something.

"Xiaoxiao".

The old man looked at his grandson.

There's mung bean and lily bulb soup in the fridge.

"You can have a bowl of water after you finish eating."

"It tastes delicious."

……

"You still need to tell me?"

The old lady pouted.

"By the time you speak, the daylily will be too cold."

……

what?
The old man looked at the old woman, puzzled.

what?
……

“Before my grandson saw you, I told him there was a big pot of mung bean and lily soup in the refrigerator.”

"Remind him to go drink it."

The old lady smiled slightly.

“Your grandson has almost finished that big pot of mung bean and lily soup.”

……

what?
The old man received the message somewhat slowly.

……

Ah ~
The old man understood.

He was somewhat surprised. "You've finished drinking it all?"

"What a huge pot!"

This pot of mung bean and lily soup was made by the old man.

However, he became slightly distracted while doing it.

When I came to my senses, I realized I had poured in too much material.

After hesitating for a few seconds between putting it back and getting a bigger pot, the old man went to the cabinet and took out a big pot.

Nothing.

Cook more.

If we can't finish it all, we can share it with guests or neighbors.

……

I never expected this...

"I was so prescient..."

The old man was somewhat proud.

"I made mung bean and lily bulb soup this morning."

"Xiaoxiao came back at noon."

"It's just in time for Xiaoxiao to eat it."

……

"Yes Yes."

The old lady shook her head.

This childish old man.

What's so great about this?
"You're the best."

"You even predicted that your grandson would be coming back today."

……

Hey.

The old man grinned.

……

After lunch, Xiao Xiao sat on the floor of the living room facing the yard.

The old lady brought him a large glass bottle of passion fruit juice.

……

Xiao Xiao immediately reached out and took it.

"grandmother."

"You can just tell me to come and get it."

So heavy...

It's too dangerous for the old lady to carry it herself.

……

"oops."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's such a short distance."

"I can."

"how?"

"You look down on your grandmother?"

"Grandma is very strong."

The old lady spoke with a hint of self-satisfaction.

……

"No."

Xiao Xiao chuckled, "I know Grandma is very capable."

"I used to chase after my dad and hit him when I was little."

……

"Pfft~"

The old lady smiled.

"Your grandfather told you that?"

"Don't be fooled by your father's quiet demeanor..."

“He was also quiet when he was a child.”

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback.

A smile appeared in his eyes.

……

"But when he runs, he's as slippery as a mudfish."

The old lady smiled and remarked, "You know, he wasn't running particularly fast."

"But you just can't catch him." "Isn't that infuriating?"

"I was so angry with your father back then that I was going crazy."

“Every time we were about to catch your dad, he would just twist his body and dodge it.”

"I'm so tired I'm out of breath."

"Your dad is still over there negotiating with me..."

……

The old lady sat down next to Xiao Xiao and started telling him funny stories about Xiao's father when he was a child.

Things that made me angry, frustrated, and helpless back then...

Now, when we talk about it, we just smile knowingly.

……

Xiao's mother brought cups for the two of them.

Lots of cups.

Although she didn't understand...

But it seems that Xiaoxiao needs just that many cups.

……

"Your dad just looks honest..."

Xiao's mother said with a smile, "Actually, it can be quite infuriating at times."

……

Xiao Xiao poured a glass of passion fruit juice for the old lady and Xiao's mother.

then……

Xiao Xiao filled every glass to the brim.

……

The little white fox peeked out.

He stuck out his tongue and licked the passion fruit juice.

……

The white snake sat coiled on the glass.

The old lady and Xiao's mother were amazed.

Such a thin rim on a glass...

Although the white snake was also very small...

But it's not just a thin piece of paper...

It's surprisingly stable...

……

The white snake flicked its tongue.

……

This still gave the old lady and Xiao's mother quite a fright.

……

Xiao Xiao picked up his cup.

One bite.

A subtle sweetness and coolness spread through my body.

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes.

……

Where the old lady and Xiao's mother couldn't see, behind Xiao Xiao...

A row of monsters sat on the floor.

They picked up the water cups from the ground.

……

Grandma Xiao and her mother got into a lively conversation.

Xiao Xiao listened with great interest.

He had heard some of his father's embarrassing and funny stories from the past, but some he was hearing for the first time today.

……

"cough!"

A cough was heard.

……

"Cough cough!"

The deliberate, loud cough finally caught the attention of the group who were chatting.

They looked up and followed the sound.

……

Father Xiao:...

His lips twitched slightly.

"It's time to go to work."

Let's stop talking.

He had initially seen the group of people sitting and chatting, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, and a smile appeared on his face.

As they got closer...

But then they overheard the old lady sharing embarrassing stories from her childhood with two other people…

Xiao's father's forehead twitched violently.

……

Before the old lady and Xiao's mother could react, Xiao's father turned and left.

……

The old lady and Xiao's mother were slightly taken aback.

Then they all laughed at the same time.

……

"All right."

The old lady was about to get up.

Seeing this, Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao quickly stood up and reached out to help the old lady.

The old lady smiled at Xiao Xiao.

"Your dad is here to call for help."

"Your mother and I went to the teahouse."

"Stay a little longer."

"Please come and let us know before you leave."

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

"ah!"

Xiao's mother let out a gasp.

……

"what happened?"

The old lady immediately looked at Xiao's mother.

……

"mom……"

Xiao's mother's mouth opened slightly.

"look."

Xiao's mother clenched her fists.

He seemed to be trying to calm himself down.

……

"what?"

The old lady followed Xiao's mother's gaze and looked over.

What did Xiao's mother see...?

So surprised?
……

The old lady didn't realize it at first.

"What...?"

The old woman murmured.

In the courtyard?

She raised her gaze slightly.

Her yard is vibrant and beautiful.

Especially that plum tree that shouldn't be blooming at this time, yet is covered in blossoms...

So beautiful.
