Haha, this is very interesting. Liu Zhiping donated the Bajie Bell. Was it because the Bajie Bell affected the relationship between husband and wife?
An idea came to Hu Xiuwu's mind, and he became more and more curious about the answer to this idea. He suddenly asked Zhao Fangxu:
"Boss Zhao, have you ever thought of using the Zhuchen Pearl to exchange for immortality?"
The conversation in the car came to an abrupt end. After a long silence, Zhao Fangxu suddenly said in a mocking tone:
"That is immortality. It is the ultimate wish that many people have dreamed of since ancient times. The original intention of many extraordinary people since they embarked on the path of cultivation is to hope that they can live forever."
"How can I be immune to this? But it is precisely because of this that I understand how tempting the word immortality is. It can make a person lose his bottom line."
Hu Xiuwu smiled: "Boss Zhao, I've caused so much trouble, has the company never thought of restricting my whereabouts?"
Zhao Fangxu pretended not to hear, remained silent and concentrated on driving.
Whether you answer this kind of question or not, it is a kind of attitude. Hu Xiuwu understood: "Oh, it seems that you have thought about it."
Zhao Fangxu was careless. He shouldn't have made such a mistake. He underestimated the enemy.
Zhao Fangxu was about to refute his idea, but he saw the Bajie bell hanging safely on the rearview mirror. He stopped talking and tried to explain the matter in a more euphemistic way:
"Although there was such a claim at the beginning, I refuted it."
After smacking his lips twice, Hu Xiuwu did not continue asking, so as not to arouse Zhao Fangxu's vigilance. After all, Nadutong was responsible for supervising the extraordinary world in the country. He wanted to spend a few more days happily and freely, so there was no need to make his relationship with Nadutong too stiff.
As the saying goes, it's bliss to be ignorant.
Hu Xiuwu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window. He hadn't been back to Sijiu City for half a year. Everything in the city seemed both strange and familiar to him.
I don’t know if the taste of the food in the restaurants I often eat at has changed.
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu had stopped moving, Zhao Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief. He also didn't want Hu Xiuwu to ask any more questions to avoid hurting the relationship.
Hu Xiuwu's talent has gradually been revealed. Everything he has experienced is difficult for his peers, even those who are a dozen years older than him, to remain unscathed.
But not only did he do it, he even benefited greatly from it.
If Hu Xiuwu fights with Tu Junfang again now, even without relying on the Tushita Fire, Hu Xiuwu will not necessarily be at a disadvantage. At least he can get a draw. With his current cultivation level, his future achievements will at least make him a hero. Even if he becomes a top-notch person, there is still hope.
Moreover, his family also worships the Northeastern Immortal Family. His eldest brother Hu Bayi is almost a disciple of the Northeastern Shaman family. He has mastered the unique skills of three families.
Penglai Sword Sect, Shangqing, and Longhu Mountain all have a connection with him.
Although Shangqing expelled him from the sect on the surface, Zhao Fangxu was well aware of the hidden truth. If the hidden danger of the Jiashen Rebellion was resolved one day, or if the Shangqing Sect recovered its vitality, Yang Ming would definitely take Hu Xiuwu back into the sect.
He alone is involved with several major sects in the country. It is no exaggeration to say that when he comes of age, he will definitely have a place among the Ten Lords. Maybe before Zhao Fangxu retires, he will have a chance to cooperate with the Ten Lords Hu Xiuwu.
Therefore, Zhao Fangxu did not want Hu Xiuwu to have any prejudice or misunderstanding towards the company.
In this strange atmosphere, Zhao Fangxu sent Hu Xiuwu back home. Before leaving, Zhao Fangxu gave Hu Xiuwu one last reminder about the precautions to take when he went to Congkuandeng tomorrow.
Hu Xiuwu nodded and assured Zhao Fangxu that he would not have any problems, then watched Zhao Fangxu leave.
After Zhao Fangxu left, Hu Xiuwu did not rush home. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the alley with his bag, leaning against the wall and waiting.
Last time, he had already betrayed his eldest brother once, so this time it would be better for him to wait for Hu Bayi, so that he would not be blamed innocently and scolded by Hu's mother without being able to fight back.
Not long after, Hu Xiuwu saw a car that he had just seen at the airport driving towards the alley where Hu Xiuwu's small courtyard was located at a very fast speed.
The people in the car seemed to have seen Hu Xiuwu, and the driver slammed on the brakes, stopping the car in front of Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Bayi hurriedly got down from the passenger seat, ran to Hu Xiuwu, and asked anxiously, "Xiuwu, are you okay?"
Hu Xiuwu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just that Director Zhao asked me some questions about the evil Luohai City, and also informed me that I will be on the bench tomorrow. Seeing that I am young, he came to comfort me."
Wang Kaixuan got down from the driver's seat and said to Hu Xiuwu, "Hey, look, I told you Xiuwu will be fine. Don't worry. Isn't Zhao Fangxu a well-connected official? If something really happens, a man like him won't do it himself."
This idiot,
Given the relationship between Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, they naturally wouldn't be polite to him. Hu Bayi turned around and said to him: "What do you know as a small trader? Just go and buy your antiques."
Wang Kaixuan was unhappy: "Hey, you, Old Hu, have only been eating government rations for a few days, but you have become bureaucratic and out of touch with the masses. My little friend, your thoughts are very dangerous."
Seeing that nothing happened to Hu Xiuwu, Hu Bayi was relieved and was in the mood to fool around with Wang Kaixuan. He bowed to Wang Kaixuan and said:
"Okay, Fatty, the time you've been running the store has paid off. Your speaking skills have improved."
"That's right," Wang Kaixuan raised his head, revealing his double chin, "your fat grandfather is now also one of the most important figures in Panjiayuan."
"Ouch, disrespectful, disrespectful."
Chapter 174: Parents have shortcomings
Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi kept arguing, and it never stopped. Hu Xiuwu was already used to it, so he walked past them calmly and went into the yard first.
This small courtyard house remained the same as before. Three short days were not even enough time for this courtyard house to take a nap.
Although things have not changed, people have changed.
The old couple Hu Yunxuan didn't know that Hu Xiuwu and his brother had returned. Through the window, Hu Xiuwu saw Hu Yunxuan organizing lesson plans in the study, while Hu's mother was watching TV in the living room, and Shirley Yang was snuggling up to Hu's mother to keep her company.
The two discussed the news about the theft at Sanxingdui that was broadcast on TV.
Oh, Shirley Yang is here too. When did she become so close to my mom?
After being away from home for a long time, Hu Xiuwu returned home and his mood was obviously much more lively. He no longer had the steadyness he had in the Western Regions, nor the cunning he had when he and Zhao Fangxu were testing each other.
With a loud bang, Hu Xiuwu pushed open the door, attracted the attention of everyone in the house, and announced loudly:
"I come back!"
"Is Shuugo back?"
When Hu's mother heard the voice, she jumped up from the sofa with joy and came to Xiuwu's side. In her heart, Xiuwu and Hu Bayi had only been away for a few days. She was not as excited as the first time she took Hu Xiuwu home, but it was always something to be happy about when the child came back.
"Where's your big brother? He let you come back alone again!"
When she saw Hu Xiuwu standing alone at the door, Hu's mother thought that Hu Bayi was back to his old ways and became a little angry.
Hu Xiuwu pointed behind him and said, "No, my elder brother is arguing with Wang Kaixuan at the door."
Mother Hu took off Hu Xiuwu's dusty backpack and threw it aside, blaming him for being impolite: "Don't address others by their full names. It's disrespectful. Wang Kaixuan is much older than you. If he weren't of the same generation as you, he could be your uncle."
After spending a long time together, Hu's mother no longer spoiled Hu Xiuwu as much as she did in the past.
Shirley Yang took Hu's mother's arm and spoke for Xiuwu: "Aunt, Xiuwu has a good relationship with Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi. Xiuwu is usually very polite."
Mother Hu joked, "You, Xiao Yang, you are really something. You act like a sister-in-law before you even enter the house."
Hu's mother always had trouble pronouncing Shirley Yang's English name. After trying a few times, she gave up and simply called Shirley Yang "Xiao Yang".
No matter what nickname you have outside, no matter how domineering it is, no matter how many people flatter you, and respectfully call you Mr. Yang or Mr. Zhao, your mother will still call you Zhuangzhuang or Xiaopang at home.
At first, Shirley Yang was not very comfortable with this title, but over time, she got used to it, and now she can respond to this slightly rustic title without batting an eyelid.
While patting the wrinkles on Hu Xiuwu's clothes, Mother Hu suddenly frowned, put her hands on Hu Xiuwu's shoulders, turned around twice, looked him up and down, and said hesitantly:
"Shugo? Have you grown taller?"
No way, you can see that.
Hu Xiuwu didn't bite him to death, he didn't grow at all, he just said in a nonchalant tone: "Isn't it normal for me to grow?"
"I hope I can grow up to be as tall as my big brother!"
Hu Xiuwu looked straight ahead, forcing himself not to look at Shirley Yang's mischievous and surprised eyes beside him, and spoke coquettishly to Hu's mother.
Mother Hu pulled at the collar of her clothes in confusion, muttering, "That's too fast. I remember I bought you a size bigger for this dress, how come it fits you perfectly now?"
No wonder my mom found out. What a mistake. I actually forgot about this.
Hu Xiuwu, who had just been chatting and laughing with the chairman of Nadutong, was actually forced into a corner by his mother, a traditional housewife who had only been to school for a few days.
Hu Yunxuan put down his pen when he heard the noise outside, and walked out of the study room calmly. When he looked up, he saw his youngest son looking at him with a pleading expression. He felt funny in his heart and excused him:
"Okay, there's nothing to talk about. Maybe the clothes have shrunk. Yaichi and Shugo came back so late and haven't eaten yet. Go heat up some food for them."
"The quality of this dress is too poor. It shrunk so much? I won't buy anything from this store anymore."
Hu's mother let go of Hu Xiuwu and went to the kitchen to heat up dinner for the two brothers, still muttering to herself as she left.
Shirley Yang followed behind Hu's mother to help and lend a hand.
Hu Yunxuan stared at his youngest son, who was trembling and had a ruddy complexion. He asked:
"Is everything okay?"
Hu Xiuwu patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I'm safe and sound."
"That's good."
After a few simple words between father and son, Hu Yunxuan stopped asking questions after knowing that Hu Xiuwu was safe.
Hu Xiuwu had been chatting in the hallway for two rounds before Hu Bayi came in, holding a bunch of things in both hands, pushed the door open with his back, and rushed in.
Hu Yunxuan looked at Hu Bayi's reckless behavior and shouted loudly: "Hu Bayi!"
"To!"
When Hu Bayi heard Hu Yunxuan's order, he stood at attention subconsciously and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
"Can you be more serious and set an example for your brother."
"Yes!"
Hu Bayi saluted.
"No, hurry up and open the door for me. Pick up all the things. There are a lot of bottles and jars in the bag you are carrying. Don't drop them."
Behind Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan pushed him away impatiently, holding a lot of things in his hands.
Hu Xiuwu asked, "Why are you two so slow? And why are you carrying so many things?"
"These are some hot pot ingredients prepared by Fatty. He was worried that we didn't have an induction cooker at home, so he brought one over specially."
Hu Bayi picked up the things on the ground and praised Wang Kaixuan:
"Don't be fooled by your fat brother's big head and ears. He is very considerate. He knows that the two of us have been on the plane for the whole afternoon and have not had dinner, so he specially prepared dinner for us."
"That's right. Without these two skills, we wouldn't be able to build such a great business in Panjiayuan."
Where Wang Kaixuan was, there was no loneliness or silence. He raised the meat roll and vegetables in his hand and called Hu Yunxuan:
"Uncle, come on, let's have a drink together."
Hu Yunxuan smiled and refused: "No, I have classes tomorrow, you and Bayi can drink slowly."
