Chapter 162: Collecting Candied Haws Again
The First Elder learned the art of alchemy from An Ran, and was so proud of himself that he couldn't help but show off to the Second and Third Elders.
"Second brother, third brother, it turns out that I am the person that our Ran'er likes the most. Look, this is the alchemy furnace that Ran'er gave me. I have taken a close look at this alchemy furnace, and it is definitely a top-grade spiritual tool. And the alchemy technique that Ran'er gave me, needless to say? Hehehe..."
The Great Elder smiled with an expression that looked like he deserved a beating, then quickly stood up.
"No, I have to go back and practice alchemy. Ran'er has such high expectations of me, I can't let her down! I am an ambitious person now, I can't just hang around with you two idle people."
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he disappeared from their sight like a gust of wind.
The second elder and the third elder were immediately furious. Are we just doing nothing?
Thinking about the good things the Great Elder got from An Ran, their eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Third brother, let's go find Ran'er too. Maybe she can give us something good."
"good!"
The two of them stood up from their chairs abruptly, looked at each other and were about to walk out.
"Hey, second brother, wait!"
The third elder suddenly stopped, sat back in his chair, turned to look at the second elder, and touched his chin.
"Don't you think it's appropriate for us to go there empty-handed? I wonder what the boss has been doing these days?"
"It's easy. Just go out and ask around and you'll find out."
The second elder was a man of action and found out the result in a short while.
"Third brother, the eldest brother is really cunning. He went to the market and bought a bunch of candied haws and gave them to Xiao Ran'er.
"No wonder."
The second elder and the third elder looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
When they were young, they craved candied haws so much that their teeth almost fell out. It’s no wonder that Xiao Ran was bribed by the boss. They would do the same if they could please the boss.
In the evening, the second elder and the third elder each carried a pile of candied haws and stood in front of the gate of Anran's courtyard like door gods.
When Anran came back, she saw from afar two bundles of red candied haws standing in front of her door, which looked very festive.
She showed a helpless smile on her face and walked slowly closer. The two elders were sharp-eyed and noticed her immediately. Their eyes lit up instantly and they came forward happily to greet her.
"Xiao Ran'er, look what delicious food Third Grandpa bought for you! Candied Haws...Are you happy?"
The third elder spoke impatiently, his voice full of anticipation and joy. He approached An Ran with a smile and handed the candied haws to her.
An Ran looked at the lovely old man in front of her and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Thank you, Third Grandpa! I'm very happy!"
The second elder on the side was not willing to be outdone, and quickly raised the big bundle of candied haws in his hand and stuffed it into Anran's arms.
"Xiao Ran'er, Second Grandpa bought it for you too!"
An Ran smiled awkwardly, her forehead covered in sweat, and she thanked the Second Elder while holding the candied haws.
"Haha...thank you, second grandpa!"
The two elders looked at each other and couldn't stop laughing. They felt that it was all worth it as long as they could make Anran happy.
An Ran held two bundles of candied haws and invited the two elders into the house for tea. The two of them followed An Ran into the yard without any hesitation and happily.
The yard is filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the colorful flowers are blooming, which is a beautiful sight. The air is filled with a faint floral scent, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The third elder couldn't help but sigh: "This place is so beautiful! It's worthy of being a girl's yard, it's so elegant."
The second elder also agreed: "Yes, the atmosphere here is really good, and it makes me feel better!"
An Ran smiled and greeted, "Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, please sit down first. I'll go make a pot of tea."
As he said this, he put aside the two bundles of candied haws in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling.
Now, Jiaojiao, Erbai and Sanbai are so happy!
She walked into the house, made a pot of tea that she usually drank, and then walked out holding the teapot. She gently placed the teacups in front of the two elders and slowly poured the hot tea into the cups.
With a bright smile on her face, An Ran said softly, "Grandpas, try my tea."
"good."
They both picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma of tea immediately filled the air. It tasted slightly bitter at first, but soon turned into sweetness, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, the two felt refreshed and comfortable. The two looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. The third elder smiled and said to An Ran.
"Xiao Ran'er, no wonder your great grandfather praised the tea so much after drinking it from the master's place last time!"
The second elder on the side also agreed with a smile.
"Yeah, he's been bragging to us about it for days!"
An Ran heard this, smiled slightly and said.
"Since you two grandfathers like this tea so much, I will bring two boxes back for each of you later."
She knew from the head of the An family that these two elders were usually kind people. Now seeing that they praised the tea so much, she naturally went with the flow to express her gratitude.
"Haha, thank you very much, Xiaoran!" The third elder and the second elder were overjoyed and laughed in unison without being polite with her.
An Ran waved her hand, indicating that you're welcome, and then asked, "I wonder what Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa want to talk to me about today?"
Seeing An Ran asking them this, the two elders felt their faces getting hot. On a whim, they came to An Ran. Thinking about it now, I feel a little embarrassed. It is uncommon for elders to ask for good things from the younger ones.
"Xiao Ran'er, we are fine, we just came to see you."
The third elder was a straightforward person and he found an excuse in no time. He is not like the shameless eldest brother who has the nerve to ask for things from the junior.
"Yes, yes, we just have nothing to do, so we came to see you."
The second elder also quickly agreed, although he was a more straightforward person. However, it is embarrassing to think about taking advantage of the younger ones.
Seeing them like this, An Ran knew what was going on. She had already prepared something for them.
So she smiled and said, "Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, I have something here that I think is suitable for you."
An Ran took out the skills and magical instruments that had been prepared long ago from the space and placed them on the stone table.
"These are two books of skills. I see that the skills that Second Grandpa practices are more fierce. This Divine Flame Skill and this Sun-Severing Sword are for Second Grandpa. Third Grandpa's skills are more gentle, so this Cloud-Brushing Skill and this Moon-Summoning Sword are for Third Grandpa."
Hearing An Ran say this, the two elders felt particularly touched and relieved. How could a girl be so considerate?
"No, no, how can we take your things?"
The second elder waved his hands repeatedly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Yes, Xiao Ran'er. We are already old, and if we want the good things of the younger generation, we will be embarrassed."
The third elder also blushed, it was really inappropriate. How could I have such an idea? It's all because of the boss's shameless behavior.
"Oh, I know that the two grandfathers have reached a very high level of cultivation, but..." An Ran blinked and said mischievously.
"If Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa can practice these techniques, their strength will definitely be stronger!"
