Chapter 330 Raising Children to Provide for Old Age



When Xiao Yan returned home with the medicine, the eagle-eyed man was exercising on the bed when Xiao Yan caught him red-handed: "I told you to rest for a few days, what are you doing?"

Hawkeye quickly lay back down: "I just got up to sit for a bit, I wasn't thinking about training!"

"I don't believe you! You're just exercising. If you keep exercising, I'm ignoring you for a few days!"

The hawk-eyed man panicked: "I'm not exercising! I'm not exercising anymore!"

Xiao Yan finally let him go: "You lost too much blood, you must feel dizzy even when you sit up, right? What's the point of exercising like this? I'll go and brew you some medicine to replenish your blood and energy."

Now that someone cares about him, the eagle-eyed man's eyes were full of warmth, almost overflowing with affection. Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed: "You should close your eyes a bit!"

The eagle-eyed man, afraid of scaring his wife away, quickly looked away and noticed several more packets of medicine. He casually remarked, "Why did you buy so much medicine? A few doses will be enough for me!"

“I bought you five doses. You can’t take too much Chinese medicine at once. We need to check your pulse and then adjust the prescription.”

"Whose are these packets? Are you sick?" The hawk-eyed man sat up anxiously.

Xiao Yan quickly explained, "It was Tongtong. She said I must not have been taking good care of myself, so she gave me some to replenish my qi and blood!"

"Are you deficient in qi and blood? Isn't it said that medicine has some side effects? Why would you take medicine if you're not sick?"

Xiao Yan sat down and explained to him, "These are all for women to replenish their qi and blood. If you eat them for a long time, you will look younger. Tongtong said I look older than her mother. Do you think I look old?"

"I'm actually a few years older than you. I've aged while you haven't. Don't listen to Tongtong's nonsense! In my eyes, you're the most beautiful!" The hawk-eyed man's blatant praise made Xiao Yan blush!

Grandma Xiao originally wanted to visit the patient, but unexpectedly overheard her daughter and boyfriend saying such mushy things outside the door. She could only hold her husband's hand and turn around to leave.

The two elderly people returned to their courtyard, looked at each other and laughed. Old Mrs. Xiao commented, "This person looks fierce, but he is actually very gentle."

"That shifty look in his eyes earlier, he's clearly not a reliable person!"

"But can Yanzi still have children at her age?"

This is also a problem. Yanzi already has a son, so it doesn't matter whether she has another child or not. But he is still an unmarried young man with no children yet.

The two elderly people sighed. Although their daughter was already in her forties or fifties, to them as parents, she was still their child no matter how old she was, and they still wanted to help her solve her problems.

The next day, when Xiao Yan went to work, the two elderly people asked her what was wrong and learned that she wouldn't be back until the evening. They went to finish their two classes first.

When they returned, they found both buildings quiet. This was a good opportunity to talk to the people there, so the two of them helped each other to knock on the door.

The man with eagle eyes had excellent hearing. He immediately recognized the footsteps of the two elderly people. His heart skipped a beat, and he got up early and stood behind the door, ready to open it as soon as there was a knock.

Upon seeing that it was indeed two elderly people, his heart leaped into his throat. Could it be that the two elderly people had come to persuade him to leave?

As he thought this, his hands and feet went weak. In the eyes of the two elderly people, the man was seriously injured, and they couldn't help but think about waiting for their daughter to come back.

But we must ask, won't this person's frail health affect their future life?

Hawkeye: "..."

The man with eagle eyes frantically tried to move a stool, but his hands and feet were too weak, and he almost dropped the stool on his own foot. Grandma Xiao quickly stopped him, saying, "You're still injured, sit down quickly, we'll get the stool ourselves."

Hawkeye Man was unwilling. Last time, the two old people went to see Xiao Yan from afar, but he happened to be out on a mission. This time, he originally planned to visit the old people after he recovered.

He was extremely uneasy, his heart pounding, as if he were holding a burning bomb. He had never been so afraid.

The hawk-eyed man reluctantly gestured for the two elderly people to sit down: "I'm sorry, I should have been the one visiting you, I didn't want you two to come and see me!"

Old Man Xiao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter who comes. I was going to come last night, but I went back after seeing you chatting with Yanzi. Child, I'm not beating around the bush!"

The eagle-eyed man didn't even dare to breathe, staring intently at Old Master Xiao, afraid that he would utter the words to get lost.

Grandpa Xiao noticed the hawk-eyed man's nervousness and quickly voiced his concern: "I just wanted to ask you, do you know that Yanzi is already in her forties or fifties?"

The eagle-eyed man nodded quickly: "I'm two years older than Swallow, we're the same age!"

"We're about the same age, but at your age, you could easily have ten or eight children with someone younger, but Yanzi can't!"

Men and women have significant physiological differences.

When the eagle-eyed man heard that the old man was talking to him about this, he felt a little relieved: "I didn't want Yanzi to have children."

When the topic turned to children, Hawkeye's face flushed slightly, but thankfully his complexion was bronze, so the change in color was barely noticeable.

Old Man Xiao shook his head: "You say you don't want children now, but your thoughts will change after you get married. Besides, if you don't consider what will happen after you die, can't you think about your ancestors?"

The hawk-eyed man laughed: "I'm just a homeless child who doesn't know my origins, I don't even know where my roots are, so I don't care about ancestors."

"I am already very fortunate to be alive and able to get married. I don't care about the children. As for my funeral arrangements, I would be very grateful if Ah Geng could help me with them."

"If he doesn't help, I believe that given my current contributions to the country, if I died a natural death, the country should collect my remains!"

If someone dies while on a mission, then there's no question of whether or not their remains will be collected. Perhaps they died without a burial place, in which case they have even less reason to consider anything else!

Unexpectedly, a voice rang out from behind: "If you marry my mother, I'll take care of your retirement!"

Old Master Xiao turned around, somewhat surprised: "Ah Geng, don't you have class? Why are you here at this time?"

“I’ve already learned everything from today’s lesson, so I asked for leave to come and check on things. I was worried that my uncle wasn’t feeling well, and that the two of you couldn’t move him.”

The hawk-eyed man laughed: "Everyone says that raising children is for old age security. I've never even raised any children, yet someone is already taking care of me in my old age. I'm so lucky to have such a good thing!"

Grandma Xiao pulled her husband's hand and stood up: "You've thought it through. We're just afraid you don't understand the seriousness of the situation, and Yanzi will be heartbroken again!"

The eagle-eyed man stood up: "I will never let Yanzi down. I guarantee it with my life!"

Old Man Xiao shook his head: "I've never believed in any oaths. I only care about what you do. Ah Geng is here too. If you do anything wrong, I believe he won't let his mother suffer!"

Xiao Gengwu chimed in, "I will definitely make my mother leave you!"
