Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5709 Old Meng
The air was filled with the cool fragrance of plum blossoms.

It makes one feel slightly tipsy.

.......
"no!"

Xiao's mother was a little anxious.

"Not in the yard!"

"look."

"right here."

Xiao's mother stretched out her hand. "Do you see that?"

Xiao's mother looked at the old lady's face.

"So many cups..."

It should be very conspicuous.

……

what?
The old lady was still a little confused.

"cup……"

Correct.

She saw the cups.

Those cups were brought by Xiao's mother.

and so……

She looked at Xiao's mother with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong with the cup?

It's not broken...

……

"The drink in the cup is gone!"

Xiao's mother whispered, almost screaming.

She had just seen Xiaoxiao fill every single cup to the brim.

……

"Oh."

The old lady's reaction was indifferent.

There were even some doubts.

"The drink in the cup was naturally drunk by someone."

……

"By whom?"

Xiao's mother asked instinctively.

……

"To Xiaoxiao's friends."

The old lady said matter-of-factly.

……

Xiaoxiao's... friends?

Xiao's mother was taken aback.

……

"right?"

The old lady looked at her grandson.

....
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Ah."

……

The old lady looked at Xiao's mother.

……

Xiao's mother blinked.

Then blinked again.

She looked at Xiao Xiao.

Then look at the old lady.

Xiao Xiao's friends...

Who?
……

"what?"

The old lady was a little puzzled. "There are a lot."

"For example, the old man's opponents in each chess game."

"Otherwise, do you think the old man would always lose miserably when he played against himself in the yard?"

……

A hint of a smile flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

Is it not a terrible situation?

Although he didn't care, Frog God always kept a good balance when playing chess with his grandfather.

This will ensure that Grandpa only almost loses the game each time.

The experience is full.

……

After a moment of stunned silence, a look of realization appeared on Xiao's mother's face.

Oh ~
She thought of it!

……

yes……

How could she forget...

Xiao's mother was somewhat annoyed.

perhaps……

Some things are taken for granted...

I just forgot...

Those things were special.

……

Not just the people Grandpa Xiao played chess with in the courtyard...

And there are the plum blossoms in their yard that never fade...

There are actually many things I don't understand.

But because...

Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Xiao.

It seems the child understands all of this.

I don't understand...

Only them.

So……

She also felt...

It doesn't matter anymore.

……

and……

The old man has found a chess opponent with superb skills...

He became more and more energetic.

He has become increasingly dedicated to studying chess.

He vowed to win a game against his opponent.

……

Seeing such a spirited old man...

Although the old man was always in good spirits, he is now smiling much more.

They were all happy.

They didn't have much interest in finding out about the old man's chess friends.

It's ok.

As long as the old man is happy.

Besides...

they do not know.

Xiao Xiao knows him.

The old man's new chess partner is Xiao Xiao's friend.

Despite their many questions, they trusted the old man to play chess with his opponent.

As expected, no problems arose over this long period of time.

……

The plum blossoms in the yard are also like that.

So beautiful.

Thanks to Xiao Xiao, they can enjoy the fragrance and beauty of plum blossoms all year round.

They are the ones who benefit.

Even if there are unsolvable doubts... what does it matter?
……

Being clueless or confused can be a blessing in disguise.

……

Xiao's mother smiled slightly.
"It was my fault."

"forgotten……"

Why is she only now acting like she's discovered some huge problem?
She didn't say anything when she saw her son filling every cup with passion fruit juice.

……

"do not mind."

Xiao's mother felt somewhat embarrassed.

but……

Xiao's mother's gaze swept over the cups.

So many cups...

original……

Do you have that many... friends?
……

Xiao's mother was somewhat amazed, somewhat surprised, and somewhat...dazed.

after all……

She really didn't see any of it...

How did the passion fruit juice in these cups disappear?
……

Xiao's mother pursed her lips slightly.

……

"fine."

The old lady waved her hand.

"You don't usually have much contact with them..."

Forgetting is inevitable.

The old lady remembered this incident vividly because she often heard her husband talk about his chess games with that friend and also went to the yard to find him.

……

Xiao's mother smiled sheepishly.

……

"Xiaoxiao".

Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Xiao.

"I hope my words and actions just now did not offend your friend."

……

If it were an ordinary person, being yelled at and pointed at like that...

They'll definitely be very angry.

……

"will not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

Monsters aren't that petty.

That would be offensive...

The monsters probably spent the whole day in anger.

……

The monsters don't care about the words and actions of humans who can't see them.

Those humans and them...

They are parallel lines that never intersect.

……

"That's good."

Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

If my son says he can't, then he can't.

Xiao's mother believed in her son.

……

The old lady and Xiao's mother left the living room.

……

Xiao Xiao finished up the remaining work.

……

After a while, Xiao Xiao went to the teahouse.

……

He went to the kitchen first to say goodbye to his grandfather and father.

Grandpa took out an extra-large snack box.

"Give."

"Take it back to school to eat."

……

Xiao Xiao clearly sensed the sudden brightening aura emanating from the little Taotie.

A hint of a smile flickered in his eyes.

"it is good."

……

Xiao Xiao went to the teahouse to say goodbye to his mother and grandmother.

On the way, some familiar customers greeted him.

"Yo."

"Isn't that Xiaoxiao?"

"What are you doing at the teahouse today?"

……

"I have some things to take care of when I got back."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

"Is Xiaoxiao graduating soon?"

"Yes."

"time flies."

"I still remember how happy Lao Xiao and the others were when Xiao Xiao got into Peking University..."

"Who wouldn't be happy in that situation?"

"If my grandson could get into Peking University..."

"I will hold a grand banquet for all directions."

"Come on, all of you."

……

Xiao Xiao listened with a smile to the old men's rambling.

Xiao's mother and the old lady were busy at the time.

He can go later.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao turned to the side as if he had sensed something.

……

Caught off guard, the thin old man fell forward.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and supported his elbow.

Xiao Xiao frowned at the jagged tentacles.

……

Xiao Xiao steadied the old man's body.

……

The others then realized what was happening.

They belatedly exclaimed in surprise.

....
"Old Meng?!"

Did someone recognize who the elderly man who almost fell was?

Immediately, he frowned.

"you……"

"Are you planning something weird again?"

……

"You know him?"

Some strangers cast questioning glances at me.

.....
"I know him too."

The bald old man spoke first.

"This guy..."
