Chapter 46 Discussing a Matter
Hearing Yan Kuan's slight cross, Feng Zhibai yawned and asked back.
She has been busy these two days and has no time to buy a mobile phone.
Not to mention Weicha, she doesn't even have any contact information.
Yan Kuan was stunned for a moment. Is there anyone who doesn’t have a micro fork these days?
"It's okay. Miss Feng doesn't have a WeChat ID. Double QQ will do, or your phone number will do. If you don't have any, you can just tell me where your school is."
Old Mitou, standing aside, couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Yan Kuan said: "Director Yan, she just came down from the mountains, never went to school, isn't very literate, and doesn't have a cell phone or contact information. How about this, you leave my contact information, and I'll take her to buy a cell phone tomorrow. I'll send you a message then, and you can add her, okay?"
Yan Kuan even took out his cell phone.
Hearing what Old Mi said, he awkwardly changed direction: "Is that so? Fine, I'll add Mr. Mi. If you have any follow-up questions, you can send me a message. Gu Yu's case this time is quite special, and I will report it to my superiors. However, don't worry, I won't disclose your affairs to anyone."
"Okay, thank you, Director Yan. We'll be leaving first. Director Yan, please drive slowly. I won't see you off."
Lao Mitou opened Yan Kuan's verification information, thanked him, and pointed to the community, signaling Chen Xiaodao and Feng Zhibai to go inside.
"Okay, then Miss Feng, Mr. Mi, and Mr. Chen, see you next time."
Yan Kuan waved to the three people and smiled.
Feng Zhibai was now so sleepy that his eyes were blurry, and he naturally ignored Yan Kuan's waving of his hand.
Waving her hands casually, she walked towards the community with a swaying step.
Yan Kuan once again felt helpless towards Feng Zhibai.
He danced so vigorously at noon and in the afternoon, but now he feels listless.
After seeing the three people off, he didn't stay and turned around to get in the car and left.
Chen Xiaodao dragged Gu Yu.
Old Mi was dragging Feng Zhibai away in a daze, as if he was drunk.
It only takes a few steps to get to the doorstep.
"Which floor?"
As they reached the bottom of the apartment building and were about to climb the stairs, Chen Xiaodao asked.
"First floor."
"It's okay. I thought I was going to climb to the top floor."
Pulling Gu Yu and pushing Feng Zhibai who was unwilling to move his legs, the four of them climbed to the first floor with difficulty.
"Grandma, can you take a few steps?"
"No, I can't. In the past, I always rode in a sedan chair. I never had to walk."
Lao Mitou took out the key from his bag and said, "Yes, yes, you are talking nonsense again."
Just as I was about to insert the key into the keyhole, the door behind me creaked.
"Lao Mi? Why are you back so late?"
As the creaking sound came, the voice of a middle-aged woman also reached the ears of several people.
They all turned to look at the person who spoke.
She was indeed a middle-aged woman, not very old, nearly fifty years old.
Seeing Lao Mi Tou holding a girl in his hand and Chen Xiaodao dragging a young man, the woman's eyes were full of questions.
“This…this is…”
"Oh, sister, let me introduce you, these are my distant relatives."
Lao Mi hurriedly released the key and pointed at Chen Xiaodao, explaining, "This is the son of my distant cousin's aunt's aunt. This is his sister, and this is his brother. Isn't summer vacation coming soon? The three of them came here to play for a while."
"Ah? The son of your distant cousin's aunt's aunt? Then your generations are quite distant."
The woman looked at Feng Zhibai and the other two with a smirk.
The three of them obviously don’t look alike!
Can you be sure this is the same family?
"Haha, it's a bit far. It just so happens that I'm in Qinghai City, so I asked someone to find me. Sister, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Oh, let me tell you something."
After hearing Old Mitou's question, the woman came back to her senses and said, "Someone came to see you this afternoon and said he was your son-in-law. Your daughter and son haven't come back in all these years, let alone brought a daughter-in-law or son-in-law with them, so I wasn't sure. I asked what they wanted to talk to you about. But the man didn't tell me, so he just told me to let you know when you come back."
He took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Lao Mitou: "He also left me a contact number and asked me to pass it to you."
Old Mi hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the paper.
"Okay, thank you, big sister."
"Oh, no need. We're all neighbors, so why bother saying thank you or not? Okay, you guys go in now. I'm going to bed too. It's quite late."
She grinned, went into the house and closed the door.
Old Mitou didn't say anything, put the paper in his pocket, and turned to open the door.
It couldn't be calmer.
Chen Xiaodao is neither blind nor stupid. He can tell from Lao Mitou's face that he has little family ties. He can also tell from the tone of the aunt's words when she spoke to him just now that he has a bad relationship with the child.
Turning on the light, the empty house appeared before my eyes.
Seeing the light in front of him, Feng Zhibai immediately opened his eyes: "We're here."
Chen Xiaodao threw Gu Yu onto the sofa, rubbed his shoulders and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the doors lying on the floor of the master bedroom and the large second bedroom.
"Hey, Old Mitou, your hobbies are quite unique. You don't like to sleep with the door closed."
After entering the house, Lao Mitou ran to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He was amused by Chen Xiaodao's teasing and said, "This is none of my business. You should ask your grandmother what she did."
Maybe it was because of the experiences of the past two days, or maybe it was because I confessed to Feng Zhibai yesterday what I had been thinking for many years, but when I mentioned the child today, it didn’t seem as painful.
He now even feels that as long as he is alive, everything else is trivial.
Even the matter of Feng Zhibai dismantling the door this morning, he now thought, forget it, just dismantle it, anyway, as long as they don't dismantle him, it doesn't matter where they dismantle it.
This requires a change.
Compared to death, everything else seems nothing to be afraid of.
With a helpless smile, he spread out his hands and threw the piece of paper with the phone number on it aside.
When his daughter got married, he had no idea what kind of person his son-in-law was.
Why did he come to see his daughter today? Based on his understanding of his daughter over the years, he probably wanted to say something about not wanting to have any contact with her in the future.
He had called his daughter and son before, and both of them said that they hoped to have less contact in the future.
Who would want to support an elderly person with no pension and little affection?
He also understood how deep the gap between him and his children was.
Feng Zhibai also noticed that Lao Mitou had thrown away the paper. He rolled his eyes upwards and said nothing. He yawned and slumped over on the sofa, saying in a lazy voice, "Now that everyone is here, I'll tell you something."
Old Mi poured two more glasses of water, brought them to the coffee table, put them on the table for Feng Zhibai and Chen Xiaodao, and found a place to sit down.
"What's up?"
"Thanks."
Seeing that he had been poured water, Chen Xiaodao said thank you to Lao Mitou, drank the water in one gulp, wiped his mouth and looked at Feng Zhibai: "What?"
She cleared her throat. "Well, although the three of us, ah, no, four of us, have known each other for a short time, I am destined to be with you. As for me, for now! I treat you as my own family. Three, ah, no, two of you who are awake, what do you think of me?"
He looked seriously and kindly at Lao Mitou Chen Xiaodao and Gu Yu who was lying there completely unconscious.
The two awake people looked at each other and sat together silently.
"first!"
Chen Xiaodao spoke first, raising his right hand. "First of all, as the protagonist who first met you two this afternoon, I, Chen Xiaodao, would like to express my gratitude."
He turned his head to look at Lao Mitou: "Let's talk about Lao Mitou first. Although he doesn't have any special abilities, he didn't leave me when my grandmother abandoned me tonight! Even when I was almost thrown into the river by a water ghost, Lao Mitou didn't abandon me. He is a very good person!"
Hearing that he wasn't the first person to be mentioned, Feng Zhibai got angry and slammed the stool with his eyes almost popping out: "I told you to talk about me, not Xiaomi! If he wasn't capable, would I be sitting here discussing things with you?"
"oh."
Chen Xiaodao let out a heartless "oh" and raised his hand again, flattering Feng Zhibai: "Grandma, there's nothing to say! My sister said that the first person I meet when I go down the mountain, I'll bite and not let go! Don't worry, I'll listen to my sister. Even if you die, I won't let go!"
"Thank you and your sister for trusting me so much. I won't die. Maybe I'll even live to see you buried."
Feng Zhibai rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he wanted to compare who lived longer, he had found the wrong person.
Alas, in the end, the impression I left on Chen Xiaodao was even worse than that left on Lao Mitou.
Forget it, he is Chen Tu’s younger brother after all, I can train him slowly later.
"What do you say?"
Turning sideways, she asked Old Mitou elegantly.
Old Mitou rubbed his knees with his hands, thought for a moment, raised his hands and made the shape of eight towards her and Chen Xiaodao: "Eight words."
"Which eight words?"
The two asked at the same time.
"We haven't known each other for long, but our friendship is too deep!"
"good!"
As soon as he said this, Feng Zhibai immediately clapped his hands in agreement: "Okay, since the three of you have said so, let's discuss the next thing."
"Wait, I have an objection!" Chen Xiaodao raised his hand to signal her and Lao Mitou to look at Gu Yu: "He hasn't spoken yet!"
He politely secured a speaking position for the unconscious Gu Yu.
"What did he say? He's unconscious now! How did he say it? With his mind?"
Seeing Chen Xiaodao pulling Gu Yu up, Feng Zhibai's beautiful starry eyes revealed a big question.
Being glared at by Feng Zhibai, Chen Xiaodao laughed awkwardly and threw Gu Yu onto the sofa again: "I, what, try to gain some sense of existence for him."
"cut."
Old Mitou snorted speechlessly.
Feng Zhibai had an expression that said, "You look smart but actually stupid."
She sighed helplessly before continuing, "Since that's the case, I'd like to ask for your opinions on opening a shop and starting a business."
"Are you still thinking about this?"
When Old Mi heard that she had not given up running the shop, he spat out the water in his mouth.
"Um."
She hummed, sat up straight, put her hands on her knees, and said seriously, "With your abilities, running a shop might result in losses. But with my abilities, running a shop is absolutely no problem."
