Wen Daren had no appetite and didn't want to eat it, but since his friends brought it, he had to have a few bites.
The servant brought half a bowl of porridge and a pair of chopsticks and placed them on the table in front of Wen Dalun.
Wen Dalun took the chopsticks, picked up the smallest piece of meat crisps and put it into his mouth.
Hmm? It tastes good. Finally, it's not as unpleasant as taking medicine.
Then, he picked up several more pieces with his chopsticks, and soon, half a bowl of porridge and a portion of jade meat crisps were all in his stomach. His face seemed to be a little rosier than when Wen Kaihou first came in.
Seeing his friend eat something, Wen Kaihou was also happy. He pushed the dessert - Nine Heavens Exquisite Yao Fruit - in front of Wen Dalun and said, "Try it."
After eating a spiritual fruit, Wen Daren looked up and smiled, saying, "Old Man Wen, where did you buy these things?"
Wen Kai said: "J City, how is it? Does it taste good?" He bought this spiritual food specially for his good friend.
Wen Dalun nodded and said, "It's really good. It would be even better if there was wine."
"I have wine, but you can't drink it, brother Lunda. You can drink it after you get better, but don't eat it. This wine of mine is also Xuehe's. The taste is so heavenly that you can't taste it in this world!"
"Xuehe? What brand is this?"
"It's Xuehe. Don't underestimate it because it's a small brand in third- or fourth-tier cities. It's really strong. The owner isn't very ambitious and just doesn't want to expand. If she had that much ambition, she would have opened stores in our city Y, or even nationwide," Wen Kaihou said, thinking of the Xuehe shopping mall opening in a few days. "This owner is also a remarkable person. Look, she's opened a shopping mall in the countryside, and it's opening in a few days. Do you want to check it out?"
Wen Dalun asked, "Are you going to J City?"
"Yes, my granddaughter has packed her luggage. If we don't go, she will make a fuss." Wen Yuke was in school. Originally, her family did not include her in the trip to Xuehe Shopping Mall, but she went home to cry to her grandfather and said that if he didn't go together, she would go secretly, so they added her.
Wen Kaihou said again: "Brother Lunda, do you want to go with us? J City is a good place."
Wen Dalun thought for a moment and said, "Go!" After staying at home for so long, it's time to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yu anxiously stopped him, "Grandpa, you need to rest at home..."
Wen Daren reached out to stop Wen Yu from saying the next word, "I know my own body. Your brother is also in J City. As a grandfather, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"..." The corners of Wen Yu's mouth twitched. This excuse was really not very clever, but as a junior, he couldn't expose him in front of the guests.
Wen Zhi is in J City. The last time the grandfather and grandson met was half a month ago, which is actually not that long.
After Wen Kaihou left, only Wen Yu and Wen Dalun were left in the living room.
Wen Yu was very dissatisfied with his grandfather's agreement to go to J City with Grandpa Wen. He tried his best to persuade him, "Grandpa, you can't go. The doctor said you need to go home and rest. You can't disobey the doctor's advice. J City is over 2,000 kilometers away from our Y City. Your body can't handle the long journey. Can't you just ask someone to buy what you want to eat? There's no need to go there yourself."
"I'm recuperating, not keeping her in captivity. It's decided. I'm going to J City. If you're worried, you can come with me."
"Grandpa, even if I agree, my parents won't agree."
Wen Dalun said angrily: "My legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want!"
"Grandpa, let's talk nicely. Don't get excited." Seeing that his grandfather was a little agitated, Wen Yu stopped saying anything against him. Instead, he called his father and asked his father to persuade his grandfather.
Wen Dalun has two sons, the eldest, Wen Yiling, and the younger, Wen Yize. His eldest son and his wife, Kong Shurong, have three sons: Wen Yu, Wen Zhou, and Wen Zhi. His younger son remains unmarried.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yiling, Wen's father, rubbed his temples tiredly. His old father always did what he said and had a stubborn temper like a cow.
"Uncle Wen is so mean. Why does he bring up the matter of going out of town at this time?" Wen Yiling also knew that this had nothing to do with Wen Kaihou. It was his father who did whatever he wanted. He couldn't even eat properly and needed help or a wheelchair to go out. How could he go out of town?
After returning home, Wen Yiling expressed his opposition to his father.
Wen Dalun pointed to the red fruit in the box and said with his eyes closed, "Try it."
Wen Yiling didn't understand why his father asked him to eat the unknown fruit, but he ate it anyway.
Wen Daren opened his eyes and was satisfied to see the look of enjoyment and surprise on his son's face. He stood up straight.
Wen Yiling hurried forward and said, "Crutch, crutch."
Wen Daren waved his hand and said, "No need for crutches." He walked to the table, ate the only remaining spiritual fruit, and then sat down in the chair again. Perhaps it was because he had eaten a decent lunch today, but he felt full of strength and could walk for a few minutes without the crutches.
He said, "This fruit was specially brought to me by your Uncle Wen. It originated in J City."
"Dad, if you want to eat it, I can ask someone to buy it for you. There's no need to go there yourself." Wen Yiling admitted that the fruit tasted good, but there was no need to buy it yourself. He could just hire someone to airfreight it for him. It would be absolutely fresh.
"What do you know?" Wen Lunda glanced at his son and said, "I am informing you, not asking for your opinion." After Wen Kaihou left, they talked on the phone for more than an hour. During the call, Wen Kaihou mentioned to him the incident where Wen Yuke encountered a snake in Beidan Mountain.
Wen Lunda had also heard about the incident of encountering a snake in Beidan Mountain. At that time, this incident involved children from several large families, and the children of the Xi family and the Zhao family both died because of this incident.
Wen Kaihou focused on the story of how the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wooden bracelet repelled the giant snake.
"Brother Lunda, that bracelet that can knock back giant snakes belongs to Xue He. Many people don't believe it, but it's true. My granddaughter witnessed it firsthand... We've been friends for so many years, and seeing you on crutches doesn't sit well with me. I also heard you haven't had a good appetite lately, so I sincerely recommend you try some of Xue He's delicacies."
"Kaihou, I believe what you said. I ate the food you brought me at noon, and I feel much more energetic..."
This phone call further strengthened Wen Lunda's determination to go to City J. In the end, he went, accompanied by his grandson Wen Yu.
Wen Lunda needed to use a wheelchair for the first two days at Xuehe Shopping Mall. After two days, although he could not walk very fast, he could still push the shopping cart around for a whole morning. In the afternoon, he could carry snacks and fishing gear to the fish pond on the west side of the front yard with his old friend Wen to go fishing. He lived a very comfortable life.
