Chapter 284 Showing off
Grandpa Shao may have been showing off, but even though he had never paid much attention to food and drink.
However, it must be admitted that the chicken soup Xu Yirou cooked did not taste as sweet as the chicken soup Su Xiangwan brought last time.
Thinking of this, Old Master Shao turned his gaze to Su Xiangwan.
Su Xiangwan smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Grandpa Shao, you look much better than last time we met."
When Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanxiao got married, this old man Shao attended their wedding.
There were several other old men at the time, including Mr. Gu, who were all his longtime comrades-in-arms.
"Xiang Wan, are you trying to make this old man happy? I'm an old man, and I won't live for many more years!" Old Master Shao shook his head.
He knows his own body best; most of his old comrades-in-arms have already passed away.
Even he himself had a feeling that he didn't have much time left when he was first sent to the hospital.
But I don't know if it's because I have something on my mind now, but I've actually felt more and more energetic these past two days.
"Grandpa Shao, what are you saying? I think you should live to be at least two hundred years old!" Su Xiangwan said, then suddenly picked up the kettle next to her and pretended to pour water for Grandpa Shao, but actually replaced it with spiritual spring water from her space without anyone noticing.
Just as she was about to hand it to Grandpa Shao, she had a sudden thought. Seemingly from her pocket, but actually from her spatial storage, she took out a piece of candy, unwrapped it, and dropped it into a water glass before handing it to Grandpa Shao, saying, "Grandpa Shao, here, have some water first. I put sugar in this water, it's very sweet, Grandpa Shao, please drink more."
Seeing this, Old Master Shao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You silly girl, why are you treating me like a child, just like Yi Rou?"
Despite saying that, Grandpa Shao still took the cup from her and took a sip.
Upon tasting, the water is incredibly sweet and has an indescribable flavor.
It's as if taking that one bite washes over your brain, leaving you feeling more energetic.
Grandpa Shao was taken aback, then glanced at the candy in the water glass and thought to himself, no wonder so many people like to eat candy. This candy is indeed a good thing, very nutritious!
He wanted to ask Su Xiangwan what kind of candy it was, but he couldn't bring himself to ask, after all, he had just said that Su Xiangwan and Xu Yirou were treating him like a child!
If I were to ask someone about the sugar after just one sip of their water, wouldn't that confirm that I'm acting like a child?
Thinking about it, Grandpa Shao seemed to be sulking with himself, and drank all the water in the cup in one gulp before reluctantly putting the cup back on the bedside table.
Anyway... the sugar in the cup hasn't completely dissolved yet. At worst, I can just pour some water in later.
This candy should be enough for me to mix with a lot of water and drink.
Su Xiangwan noticed the subtle expression on Old Master Shao's face and secretly chuckled to herself.
Anyway, while everyone wasn't paying attention, she had already replaced the water in the kettle with spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
This water should be able to properly nourish Old Master Shao's body.
I believe that by the time the water in that pot is finished, the sugar should have mostly melted.
Let old Mr. Shao savor it slowly!
"Grandpa Shao, what are you saying! How could we dare treat you like a child! It's just that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure! You are a treasure that we all cherish!"
Su Xiangwan coaxed Grandpa Shao, saying that the older one gets, the more childlike one becomes.
Old Master Shao's personality is completely different from Old Master Gu's. Such a senior figure deserves their respect and esteem.
Sure enough, upon hearing Su Xiangwan's words, Grandpa Shao burst into laughter, pointing at Gu Yanxiao and saying, "You rascal, you've really married a good wife! How did such a wonderful girl end up being married by you!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Xiangwan with pride, saying, "Grandpa Shao, you're not right. My wife and I are destined to be together. We'll be together in this life, the next life, and for all eternity."
"Look at you, so pathetic. You're willing, but you don't even ask if Xiang Wan is willing?" Old Master Shao couldn't help but deliberately humiliate him as he looked smug.
Seeing this, Su Xiangwan immediately nodded with a serious expression and said, "Grandpa Shao, actually, I am willing too."
"..." Old Master Shao felt a toothache just looking at the young couple showing their affection.
Turning around, I saw Wu Yong'an and Xu Yirou sitting together, looking very much in love.
He immediately gave Shao Zijie a look of utter disdain and said, "Look at Yan Xiao and Yong An, they're already married. You, kid, don't even have a girlfriend yet. You're a disgrace to me!"
Shao Zijie: "..."
Why did you suddenly have to bring up me when you were having a perfectly good conversation?
Even if I try to stay silent and act like an invisible person, I can't escape it anymore?
"Grandpa, I'm still young! There's no rush!" Shao Zijie sighed inwardly. Marriage isn't something that can be decided by just one person's agreement.
Is it wrong that he hasn't met his soulmate yet?
"You're young! Yan Xiao's son is almost old enough to run errands, and you're telling me you're still young? If you keep dragging this out, I don't even know if I'll ever be able to hold my great-grandson in my lifetime!"
Grandpa Shao looked at Shao Zijie with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
His grandson is excellent in every way, and has the same style as his father in his youth.
But precisely because he's so wonderful, finding someone with similar interests is not easy.
Actually, Mr. Shao knew that Shao Zijie had feelings for Gu Yanfei.
It's a pity that Gu Yanfei has her eye on the second son of the Su family.
He knew that the child was also an impeccable person who excelled in every aspect.
Especially after hearing from Old Huo that the kid had recently made a huge contribution.
If it weren't for the need to keep it confidential for the time being, I would definitely have received a first-class merit award.
A first-class merit!
How many people can earn a first-class merit just by being alive?
The second son of the Su family is one of them.
It's no wonder that my grandson lost to someone like that.
Seeing Shao Zijie lower his head helplessly and remain silent, Su Xiangwan immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa Shao, just like Zijie said, his destiny hasn't arrived yet. After all, finding a partner is for a lifetime, so it has to be mutual affection, right?"
