Luo Wenyuan finally finished all his work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and arrived in Lian City. When he saw his grandfather, although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
Luo Zhentian lost his son in old age, and his hair turned white overnight. But after staying at Qingshan's house for half a month, his hair actually grew back black, and he looked ten years younger than before. This wasn't the most obvious change. Luo Zhentian was now at least 20 pounds heavier than before (in the few days before Luo Wenyuan came, Mr. Luo had successfully gained another 5 pounds!)
His chest is bulging, his belly is bulging, and he even has a double chin. Is this still the "most handsome founding father"? Who used to tell him that if a person can't even manage his own body shape, how can he manage his soldiers? Grandpa, even if you retire and don't have to lead troops anymore, you can't let yourself go like this! Didn't you say there are no fat people in the Luo family? Are you planning to rebel against the family?
Luo Wenyuan reached out and touched his grandfather's "snack belly". Wow, it felt soft and full of fat!
Luo Wenyuan looked as if he was about to say something, and asked Qingshan with his eyes: "Didn't you say you gained ten pounds? I think this belly is more than ten pounds! You little liar!"
Qingshan: He's gained a lot of weight these past two days. The old man is craving snacks. We must confiscate his snacks! Wenyuan, you go ahead. I'll stand up for you and cheer you on!
Luo Wenyuan: ...You are just waiting to watch the fun!
"Grandpa, when did you come to Lian City?"
"The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."
Today is the 13th day of the first lunar month. I have gained more than 20 kilograms in half a month. Wow, Grandpa, you have gained a lot of weight!
"Well, you see, I'm back too, and you've been staying at Qingshan's house for half a month. Shouldn't we go back to the capital?"
Luo Zhentian opened his eyes from the rocking chair, glanced at Luo Wenyuan, closed them again, picked up an apricot and put it in his mouth, chewing it with a smacking sound, but didn't say a word.
Luo Wenyuan and Qingshan looked at each other, and both felt that the old man's strategy of adapting to ever-changing situations was truly brilliant. In the first round, Luo Zhentian won!
"Grandpa, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"
"Shouldn't you be leading the team in special training in the primitive forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains right now? Why are you back so early? Mission accomplished? Report finished? Did that cornmeal pancake Bai Hezheng agree to let you take a day off? What if you suddenly return to the team again? Would you have the heart to leave me alone in the capital?"
“…”
A series of questions hit Luo Wenyuan hard and left him completely beaten to pieces. In the second round, Luo Zhentian won!
Qingshan lowered her head, her shoulders shaking, and her ribs ached from trying so hard to hold back her laughter.
"Grandpa, Qingshan and I aren't engaged yet. It's not right for you to stay at someone else's house for a long time..."
"Well, that makes sense. If you get engaged to Xiaoshan soon, I can live with you for a long time! When will the engagement party be held? You're already an adult, almost 30, so you should hurry up!"
“…”
In the third round, Luo Zhentian won, while Luo Wenyuan received a KO.
"Grandpa, I have to criticize you. Look how fat you are now! Don't tell me that the watermelon-like hemisphere on your belly is abdominal muscles!"
Luo Zhentian finally opened his eyes, patted his belly with both hands, and muttered, "I've gained a bit of weight..."
"A little? Grandpa, do you still want to be pragmatic?"
Luo Zhentian had actually noticed a long time ago that he had gained weight, a lot. But the snacks made by his granddaughter-in-law were so delicious that he couldn't stop eating them. What else could he do?
"Uh, hehe, yes, I've gained weight. Who doesn't gain a few pounds during the Chinese New Year? I'm just putting on weight for the New Year, and I'll be thinner after the New Year. You little bastard, I just ate a little more, but you have no sympathy for an old man like me. I've been supporting you for so many years in vain, humph!"
Luo Wenyuan: Wife, it’s not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong. I lost... (灬??灬)
Qingshan removed the assorted preserved fruits beside the old man and replaced them with a plate of dehydrated vegetables and a cup of freshly squeezed sea buckthorn juice. He smiled and said to Luo Zhentian:
"Grandpa, you must be tired of eating preserved fruits after eating them for so long. Try the dried vegetables I made. They are crispy, fragrant, and not sticky. They taste great!"
