The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 136 Tell her, Grandpa agreed!
"Hahahahahaha..."

The old people suddenly laughed, and Xia Yu also smiled and continued eating.

Seeing that Grandma Liu still didn't understand, Uncle Zhao replied, "Do you even need to ask? I asked you to feed her to make her fat!"

"Haha..." Grandma Liu also laughed after hearing this.

It was Xia Yu's first time to sit at the same table with the elderly and eat, listening to them tell stories from long ago.

The only drawback is that I didn't meet the God Taibai Jinxing, so I couldn't find out the whereabouts of the "Son of the Demon King" earlier.

After dinner, the old people were reluctant to let Xia Yu leave, so they kept her in the "nursing home" for a while longer.

Xia Yu wasn't worried about being unsafe at home, so he readily agreed.

At 17:30, before it got dark, the old people sat down in the yard and took turns telling stories to Xia Yu.

Only Uncle Zhao and Grandma Li spoke little throughout the whole process, while the other elderly people talked about their past with relish.

Halfway through the story, Hua Changyi called Xia Yu, mainly to ask about Xia Yu's situation.

Xia Yu went to the side to answer the phone and told Hua Changyi her experience of the day. Neither of them got anything, and they both hoped that the other would have some clues, but in the end, neither of them found anything.

"Xiaoyu..."

"Ah? Grandma Li?"

Xia Yu hung up the phone and quickly responded to Grandma Li with a smile. He didn't expect her to come to see him.

Grandma Li looked at Xia Yu with an expression of "something on her mind", and looked at Xia Yu with embarrassment, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Grandma, do you have anything to say to me?" Xia Yu asked.

As if she was afraid that others might hear her, Grandma Li took Xia Yu's hand and walked a little further away, then she slowly said, "I... I have something, and I want to ask you... for help."

"Grandma, you say." Xia Yu said with a smile.

Grandma Li clenched her sleeves nervously, like a "shy" little girl, secretly glanced at the old people in the yard, and said to Xia Yu: "My husband passed away decades ago, and I have lived alone for decades. I heard that Uncle Zhao's husband also passed away more than ten years ago..."

After listening to the meaning of these words, Xia Yu roughly understood what Grandma Li meant.

"So, grandma, you want to..." Xia Yu also glanced at Uncle Zhao who was wearing glasses and reading a book in the distance, and whispered to Grandma Li: "... Let me ask Uncle Zhao what he thinks of you, right?"

Grandma Li nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Xia Yu said confidently.

Grandma Li and Grandpa Zhao, because the marriage bracelet had no reaction, Xia Yu never thought about it that way.

They are already old, and their respective marriages have already appeared. In the current situation, if the two old people are "in love with each other", Xia Yu can definitely help them.

They have already used each other's "custom-made red threads", and now the only way to help them is to borrow the "universal marriage thread" from Li Jian.

Xia Yu didn’t know whether Li Jian had used up those “universal marriage threads” that had been lost to the mortal world at some point last time.

Returning to the place in the yard where the old people were chatting, Xia Yu moved a stool and sat next to Grandpa Zhao.

Uncle Zhao pushed his reading glasses, turned to look at Xia Yu, and said with a smile: "Have you finished the call? Your family is urging you to go home, right? Good boy, if your home is far away, go back earlier!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Someone will come to pick me up soon." Xia Yu lied.

"That's good." Grandpa Zhao grinned. Grandma Li was too embarrassed to follow Xia Yu over, she just watched from a distance, feeling nervous and expectant.

"Grandpa, what book are you reading?"

"Ah? Just take a look at "The Leisure Time of a Seventy-Year-Old Man"..."

"Really? Let me see..."

Xia Yu asked this deliberately, actually wanting to get closer to Uncle Zhao, use his book to cover his face, and asked: "Grandpa, what do you think about letting Grandma Li accompany you for the rest of your life?"

When Grandpa Zhao heard this, he glanced at the elderly people sitting there, as if he wanted to see if Grandma Li was there. Finally, he asked Xia Yu in a low voice: "...Did she ask you to ask?"

Ok?
Does this mean that Uncle Zhao already knew what Grandma Li was thinking?

"Yes." Xia Yu replied quickly, then hinted to Uncle Zhao about where Grandma Li was, and asked, "So, what do you think, Grandpa?"

"Cough cough..."

Uncle Zhao cleared his throat, lowered his head and pretended to continue reading his book. In fact, he secretly looked at Grandma Li in the distance through his glasses and whispered, "This little Lian... didn't I hint to her a long time ago? Why doesn't she understand?"

"Secret...hint?" Xia Yu looked at Uncle Zhao in surprise. It seemed that the two old men really were "secretly in love with each other"!

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao said, gently taking off his reading glasses, and whispered to Xia Yu: "My glasses broke last month, and she asked her niece to buy her a new pair, but...she gave them to me."

Xia Yu was a little anxious when she heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, how did you hint to Grandma Li?"

Uncle Zhao showed Xia Yu his reading glasses and said, "I accepted the gift she gave me!"

"This..." Xia Yu was speechless for a moment.

"Isn't this a 'hint'?" Uncle Zhao asked in confusion. When they were young, if the man accepted a gift from the woman, it meant that he liked her, right?

"Your 'hint'..." Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "... is too conservative. Grandma Li doesn't understand!"

"Really?" After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, he put on his reading glasses again and replied seriously: "Then... go and help grandpa tell her that grandpa... agrees to her pursuit."

Xia Yu was overjoyed and said, "Okay!"

Just when Xia Yu was about to tell Grandma Li the news, Uncle Zhao suddenly took out an envelope he had tucked in a book, handed it to Xia Yu, and explained, "This contains... a poem written by Grandpa. Please help Grandpa give it to her. Your Grandma Li was an educated person and her eyesight is still good. She will be able to understand it."

"Love poem?" Xia Yu asked with a smile.

"Well...just send it over!"

Although Uncle Zhao was old, his face turned red when he heard Xia Yu say that.

Xia Yu had always taken the initiative to look for the destined person. Today, suddenly such a special destined couple took the initiative to ask Xia Yu for help, and Xia Yu felt very happy.

She secretly made up her mind that if the "universal marriage thread" from Li Jian ran out, she would find a way to get one back for Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Li even if she had to go back to heaven once.

"This...this is what he wrote to me?"

Grandma Li took the blue envelope from Xia Yu with both hands. She was extremely excited and asked Xia Yu: "What did he...say?"

Although Xia Yu knew the answer, he still wanted to give Grandma Li a surprise and let her find out for herself, so he pretended not to know and said, "Grandpa didn't say anything, so he just asked me to give you this letter."

Grandma Li couldn't wait to open the envelope. With full anticipation in her heart, she read the love poem in front of Xia Yu. She finally smiled with satisfaction.
