Chapter 38 The Crane Arrives



"Chief, it's time for lunch." Wang Dazhu came out from the inner room.

The little fat boy touched his belly and thought seriously: "Grandpa, I think I can eat two big bowls of rice today."

The old man was amused: "Oh, that big strawberry just now didn't fill you up?"

The little fat boy touched his stomach and said, "Grandpa, it's digested."

"Are you a straightforward person? You learn to brag from your father at such a young age." Zhou Erjie scolded and laughed as she took the child from the old man's arms, making it easier for Zhou Dajie and her niece to help the old man get up.

The fat boy was still unconvinced. He patted his belly and said confidently, "Dad said that men should brag. Bragging makes them look powerful."

"Oh my, you are such a happy person." Sister Zhou couldn't stop laughing.

Everyone was about to go to the restaurant. The little fat boy struggled to get out of his mother's arms again, and ran to Xiao Yu, who was about to go wash hands with Zhou Yanzhi, and reached out to hold him: "Uncle, I'm going with you!"

"Okay." Xiao Yu held the soft, chubby little hand that the other party forced upon him.

The little fat boy squeezed in between his two uncles, looked up at his little uncle, and said as he walked: "Little uncle, you are so handsome! Prettier than many people I have seen. Don't you really want to consider coming to my house? I have a lot of toys at home, I can give them to you to play with."

"Puchi!" Sister Zhou couldn't help herself again.

Sister Zhou Er just wanted to cover her face. He is not an extrovert, but he has a child, and he is too familiar!

Zhou Yanzhi looked down at this cheap nephew from his adopted sister's family and put his hand on the little guy's head: "Li Xiaobao, you are dreaming!" He is so young, and you want to steal his girlfriend.

Li Xiaobao turned his head with difficulty to look at his second uncle, and said with a tangled expression: "Second uncle, I will work hard to exercise and strive to live longer than you and provide for you in your old age."

Zhou Yanzhi narrowed his eyes. What kind of train of thought is this?

Zhou Erjie, who was following behind, was puzzled for a moment, then immediately surprised: "Oh my God, Xiaobao, your memory is so good!"

"What's going on?" Sister Zhou gossiped.

The old man also pricked up his ears and gossiped together.

Zhou Erjie explained, "I remember it was last year, or the year before last, when my mom and I were chatting about my second brother getting married. I said something along the lines of, 'No, I'll let Xiaobao take care of him in his old age.' Then mom said, 'My second brother is a martial artist, and he'll definitely live to be over a hundred, just like grandpa. If Xiaobao doesn't exercise, he might still need my second brother to take care of him in his old age.' Xiaobao was so young at the time, I didn't expect him to remember this."

Everyone looked at the little fat boy with a confused look on their face, and were also surprised at the little guy's good memory.

Zhou Yanzhi looked down at the fat boy, his eyes carrying a hint of something else. If nothing unexpected happened, he and his child would outlive this kid's great-grandson's great-grandson.

Still want to provide for his retirement?

Old Master Zhou also smiled upon hearing this. His grandson had already reached a height in his teens that took his in-laws a lifetime to achieve. According to the ancient martial arts world, that would have been a hundred and fifty years old, unattainable for ordinary people. Now, his lifespan was at least several hundred years.

Even though the two boys can't have children, the Zhou family may have to rely on his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to support it in the future. When the little fat boy gets old, he may really have to rely on his grandson to support him.

Thinking about that scene, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but feel proud. It was a pity that he couldn't tell anyone about it, otherwise the old guys in the yard would envy him to death.

The lunch was very sumptuous, with everything you could expect. Of course, lobster and the hairy crabs we were eating were indispensable. In addition, there were dishes that many old men loved to eat but usually had to eat less of.

For example, braised pork, boneless roasted pig's trotter, roast duck, grilled lamb kebabs, white-cut chicken, etc. There is also a beautiful freshly baked cake.

"Grandpa, these are all my favorites!" As soon as the little fat boy sat down at the table, his eyes widened, "Grandpa, thank you!"

Grandpa Zhou’s two eldest granddaughters tried hard to suppress their laughter ^_^: This little guy thinks that all this is prepared for him!

Mr. Zhou was a bit embarrassed by his great-grandson's overflowing emotions. It was his birthday, and since the nutritionists were always very strict, he naturally had to order his favorite food for lunch.

Now, after the fat boy said this, the old man's face felt a little hot.

Sister Zhou was lively and changed the subject by mentioning the hairy crabs cooked per head. It was crab season, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic about it.

Xiao Yu was thinking about how to refuse when Zhou Yanzhi spoke for him.

"No need for Xiaoyu."

Sister Zhou paused and said, "What's wrong? Don't you like it? Today's crabs are fat and big. It would be a shame not to try them."

"He has a cold constitution and is allergic to seafood."

"Ah? That's really not edible." Sister Zhou looked at Xiao Yu with regret.

Xiao Yu explained awkwardly: "Actually, it's okay to eat a little occasionally. I just had an allergic reaction not long ago." So, for the time being, he didn't want to bother his stomach and throat.

Sister Zhou probably thought that the young man couldn't resist eating too much, and almost laughed again: "Then you really don't have a good time today."

"Actually, I also like the dishes grandpa prepared today." Xiao Yu said with a little humor.

"Haha!" Sister Zhou laughed again. She looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, if you want to eat something secretly in the future, you can find Xiaoyu and Xiaobao as your allies. They have the same taste as you."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Then Xiaoyu, you must come to visit me often in the future. Tell me what you want to eat in advance."

Zhou Yanzhi said calmly as he picked up some food for Xiao Yu, "That won't work. Xiaoyu is still in school. She still has to work on her graduation project and write her thesis."

Old man (⊙o⊙): ...You little brat, aren't you throwing cold water on me too quickly? You can't even give him a little joy?

Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou Er: O(∩_∩)O~

The peeled tomatoes, specially made into a cold dish, did not disappoint. After tasting them, Sister Zhou pretended to regret not trying the strawberries. As for eating the things that Grandpa had put in the refrigerator, she would not do that. Although the second brother was in charge of the Zhou family, Grandpa was still the mainstay of the family. Naturally, the goodies that the younger brothers gave to Grandpa were mainly for Grandpa.

The family was having lunch happily. When they were half drunk, Wang Dazhu hurried in from outside.

"What's going on?" Sister Zhou looked at him in confusion.

Wang Dazhu looked at the old man, his eyes red, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The old man was puzzled by his gaze: "Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"Chief, there's a group of cranes in the yard."

Everyone was puzzled, Laixianhe, why are you crying?

Crane?

Crane!

What's going on?

Although this place is famous throughout the imperial capital for its outstanding people and beautiful scenery, aren't cranes only found in zoos? Could it be that a crane from the zoo escaped?

"Hiccup..." Everyone in the house was thinking about it when they heard a crane cry. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw several cranes peeking out from the window of the restaurant.

Everyone: ...
