Chapter 380 Too Much Fright



The old man put down his teacup and then noticed the plate on the coffee table; his eyes lit up.

"Wow, there are so many good things here."

"Grandpa, please eat. These are all prepared for you when you come."

The old man laughed and said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "You shouldn't be polite, please don't be."

The old man laughed heartily: "Hahaha, alright then."

Seeing his grandfather so happy, Cheng Shaolin's mood also improved.

"You all eat too, I'm just an old man and I can't finish it all."

Shao Jie said, "Please eat, we have food."

These words stunned the old man. His hand, which was eating sunflower seeds, paused for a second before he resumed his action and continued to pick up more sunflower seeds.

He glanced at Cheng Shaolin, thinking to himself that these kids might have some tricks up their sleeves and be able to get their hands on good stuff.

Seeing the old man like this, there's nothing he doesn't understand.

Yu Yanbin glanced at Shao Jie.

Shao Jie coughed and glanced around.

He only told Cheng Shaolin's grandfather this; he wouldn't tell anyone else.

The old man smiled.

"Good things should be saved for later; there's plenty of time."

"It's alright, Grandpa, keep eating. You won't go broke," Li Xiao said with a smile.

The old man opened his already dim eyes and looked at Li Xiao.

This girl is Cheng Shaolin's girlfriend, the same girl he went to find when the apocalypse was about to begin.

He was initially a little resentful that Cheng Shaolin was too insensible. If Cheng Shaolin hadn't been gone, the burden on his shoulders wouldn't have fallen on Cheng Shaoheng's shoulders.

He still favored Cheng Shaolin the most.

Cheng Shaolin's abilities far surpass those of his eldest grandson.

Alas, what a cruel fate.

I thought this grandson would never come back, but he managed to return to Beijing on his own with his companions.

Wow, I never expected that.

I had some ideas at first, but after thinking about it, I realized I didn't trust myself enough.

Who can you blame but yourself?

My feelings for the child gradually faded. Seeing how good Cheng Shaolin was, nothing else mattered.

These children are all good.

"We still need to be careful; it'll be troublesome if someone notices..."

"Grandpa, it's alright. No one else will know."

Seeing the smile on Li Xiao's face, the old man realized something was wrong.

"Grandpa, have you ever thought about living with us?"

Li Xiao asked again.

The old man was surprised to be asked about this topic again today, and he paused for a moment before looking at his son and grandson.

“Yes, Grandpa, come live with us. We’re worried about you staying with your uncle’s family.”

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"What's there to worry about? What could possibly happen to me?"

Cheng Shaolin lowered his eyes, feeling powerless for this stubborn old man.

"Yes, Dad, come live with us."

"Come on, you can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of me?"

The old man glanced at his second son, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

"you……"

Cheng Feiyue felt annoyed. Why would someone say that? He wasn't any worse than others.

Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, Li Xiao and Cheng Shaolin exchanged glances and decided to give up for the time being.

We chatted with the old man about the current situation, and he also told them about some things inside the base that they didn't know. Everyone listened with great interest.

"Oh dear, we didn't know any of that."

"Yes, Grandpa, we really didn't know if you hadn't told us."

"Haha, how could you possibly know about this play? This is all inside information."

Seeing how enthusiastic the children were, the old man rediscovered a sense of being needed, a feeling he had in the past.

The old man was in a very good mood and was laughing heartily.

Seeing his father so happy, Cheng Feiyue wanted to bring him over even more.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xiao gave Xiao Peng a look.

Xiao Peng understood immediately and got up as well.

Seeing Li Xiao, Xiao Peng, and his daughter-in-law leave one by one, the old man was puzzled.

What are they all going to do?

Seeing the old man's confusion, Cheng Feiyue explained, "Dad, they've gone to cook."

The old man understood, but only a thought flashed through his mind.

Do we need so many people to cook?

Other families might not need this many people to cook, but where Li Xiao is, this many people are needed to cook.

The house is small, and the kitchen is small too.

We used to prepare the ingredients outside, but today we have guests, so we plan to prepare them in the kitchen.

But the kitchen is so small; how big can the kitchen be in a house that's only a few dozen square meters?

If you think about it, it won't be that big.

If you prepare too much food, there won't be enough room for anyone in the kitchen.

"Xiaoxiao, put it outside, there's no room here."

Well, there was no other way, so Li Xiao had to leave the kitchen and stand in the living room.

The kitchen staff only brought out rice and some meat; the rest of the food was still out.

When they saw Li Xiao come out, everyone understood that it was very conspicuous.

"Let's go outside, we'll come and help too."

Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao and said.

"good."

As Li Xiao spoke, she tossed out a lot of ingredients that were hard to see.

These things really surprised the old man.

"This, this, this is?" The old man's hands and feet trembled as he prepared to get up and see if it was real.

"grandfather!"

Seeing how agitated the old man was, Cheng Shaolin quickly went to help him up.

Cheng Feiyue was a step behind and quickly went up to support the old man's arm.

The old man, his hands trembling, reached for the tomatoes and eggplants in the basin on the ground.
