"Aunt, please give it a name! It's become familiar with Yan, Yu, and my brother's Xiaoqing these days. They all have names, but it doesn't. I think it's unhappy!"
Xiao Lie stretched out his chubby little fingers and tapped the little snake's head, his watery eyes filled with heartache.
"Is that so? Then~" Long Xiangling frowned in thought, her eyes lighting up as she thought of something. "This little fellow is all jade-colored and extremely spiritual, so let's call him Ling Fei!"
"Spirit Jade~"
"Ling Fei!"
Xiaolie and Xiaonuan repeated it in unison, their bright eyes filled with joy.
Ling Fei seemed to understand their conversation and knew that she had a name. Her little tail twisted rhythmically, looking very happy.
"Oh! Are the grandchildren really back?"
Mr. Meng was in a good mood today. He hummed a little tune all the way to chat with Mr. Su.
Hearing the lively laughter of children at the gate of the courtyard, he quickened his pace and walked in.
"Grandpa Meng!"
"Grandpa Meng!"
Xiao Ling and Xiao Nuan called out in unison and called out obediently.
Long Xiangling put Ling Fei into her pocket and went into the kitchen to make tea.
Xiao Lie rushed to the door, hugged his thighs, tilted his head back and said cutely,
"Grandpa Meng, take a quick look. Has Lie lost weight? My master said that one day without seeing you is like three autumns. Lie has been in the mountains for 50 days, but he thinks of you every day~"
Mr. Meng laughed out loud at his words, lowered his eyes and stroked his soft hair lovingly, and replied,
"Looking at this, our Xiaolie has really lost a lot of weight! Come and talk to Grandpa Meng, is there anything you want to eat? Grandpa Meng can have someone buy it for our Xiaolie to nourish him well."
"Really?"
The little fellow's eyes were bright, and he leaned forward again with his still bulging belly.
"That Lie is craving for roast duck! Listen, his little tummy is rumbling with greed!"
"Okay! Let's have roast duck! Grandpa Meng will send someone to buy it for our Xiaolie right away."
Mr. Meng tapped his little nose with a doting look on his face, then turned around and told the guard to buy some roast duck.
Grandpa Su looked at his great-grandson's shameless appearance and shook his head slightly, feeling helpless and funny!
"Grandpa Meng, please sit down and talk!" Su Jinhu helped the old man sit down.
"Okay!" Mr. Meng sat down on the sofa, turned his head and looked him over.
"I heard you were injured during a mission? How are you now? Are you still feeling unwell? I'm telling you, don't just push yourself if you're in trouble!
Things are different now than before. The war situation is urgent and even if you are injured, you have no time to rest and have to go to the battlefield.
The situation is getting better and better, and you young people still have a long way to go! Your health is the capital of revolution. If you have injuries, treat them, don't force yourself to bear them! "
"I understand, Grandpa Meng!" Su Jin straightened up, looking willing to learn.
"You old man, haven't you been very busy recently? How come you have time to come here now?" asked Mr. Su.
"I just went out to take care of some things. Since I didn't have any time in the afternoon, I came back early! I didn't expect to come just in time for the little ones to come over."
As Mr. Meng spoke, he held Xiao Nuan on his lap and sat down, eager to butt heads with the little girl.
"Has Old Lady Ding not caused any more trouble recently?"
Old Master Su raised his eyes, glanced at him, and asked.
Mr. Meng raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows relaxed.
"I don't think she'll dare to make trouble again! You know what, our Guo'er's trick really works! Ding Xiurong has been unreasonable for most of her life, but she still has a soft spot after all!"
"It's good that it's resolved! Old Man Zhao was discharged from the hospital yesterday. I heard that his grandson and Old Lady Ding's granddaughter have divorced. Without this bad apple, our compound will be much quieter!"
"Hey! I heard about this, too. I feel so sorry for the newborn baby! I heard that Zhao Bing took him home. With that kid's behavior, I don't know if he can take good care of the child."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! After all, they are all Zhao family members. Let's stop worrying about them!"
At this time, Xiao Lie took out another "stone" from the gift, hugged it to his chest, and ran over.
"Grandpa Meng, take this quickly. This is a gift from Lie and his brother and sister!"
"Hey~ good boy! But you have a heart!"
Mr. Meng quickly stood up and took it! His loving eyes inadvertently swept across the stone.
This is amazing!
He immediately noticed the clue, "This...is this an emerald?"
Seeing his surprised expression, Old Man Su frowned and couldn't help but move forward to look at the stone in his hand.
This stone is slightly different from his except for the slightly different shape.
"What emerald? Isn't it just a stone?" Old Master Su looked puzzled.
"You don't understand this, do you?"
Mr. Meng became more alert and looked carefully at the stone in front of him. Finally, he found a small scratch on the bottom of the stone.
His voice trembled with excitement. He quickly turned around and pointed at that place, and said to Mr. Su who was standing beside him:
"Look, right here! It's completely green! What else could it be but an emerald? Our darling grandchildren have found a treasure!"
As he spoke, he moved the stone closer so that Mr. Su could see it more clearly.
Old Master Su didn't know much about this, but seeing Old Master Meng so excited, he knew that his stone must be extraordinary.
I crossed my arms across my chest, feeling a little jealous!
These were all given by his grandson. How come Old Man Meng is so lucky!
He lowered his eyes and glanced under the sofa, where a similar stone was lying quietly. It was the one Xiaolie had just given him.
Bending down, he took it out and put it on the coffee table, saying with a wronged tone,
"Look at this, what's the difference between this and yours? Yours isn't the only treasure, but mine is just a lump of stone, right?"
When Mr. Meng saw him take out another piece, his eyes lit up again! He moved forward to take a closer look.
He nodded as he looked at it, "That's right, this one is not bad either! It's not worse than the one just now, it's also a good piece!"
"Haha, it seems like I'm lucky!"
When Mr. Su heard that his piece was also a treasure, he was immediately happy and picked up the stone to look at it carefully.
He couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from feeling at ease.
Mr. Meng looked thoughtfully at the triplets who had run off to play marbles, with a meaningful look in his deep and wise eyes.
He doesn't believe that this is an accidental success!
However, the triplets have been gifted since childhood, so some of the opportunities they have encountered are not surprising.
