Section 293

Faintly,

Like a knife.

At first glance, it is the sharp marks left from his youth.

But soon, the old man's eyes became gentle again, and he shouted with a smile,

"Chen Ming¨々?"

He was not surprised that the old man could directly call him by his name, he just smiled and nodded.

After all, he could know a lot from Luo Zixin’s mouth,

Before the old man in front of him retreated, he was already at the top of the Long Kingdom Military Headquarters.

Even if he retreats now, he is still a veteran figure who would make the military circles of the Dragon Kingdom tremble a little bit.

The old man walked up to him slowly, looked at him for a moment, and asked gently,

"Would you like tea? I have a lot of good tea here."

Chen Ming simply shook his head,

"Can't drink."

"Drink like a cow!"

"hehe!"

The old man seemed to be amused by this sentence and laughed for a while.

"Like a cow drinking water?? Haha, this idiom is very vivid!"

"If you don't want to drink, don't drink! Eat!"

The old man patted Luo Zixin's hand gently.

Luo Zixin understood the meaning instantly, turned around and shouted kindly to the people busy in the kitchen,

"Aunt Wang, is the food ready?"

Aunt Wang's response came from inside,

"Okay, okay, it's time to serve!"

soon,

A somewhat light meal was placed on the table.

Most of them are porridge and side dishes, plus some stir-fried wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The soup is also very light and smells faintly of medicinal herbs.

After taking a seat,

The old man sat at the top, taking Luo Zixin with him.

The young juniors sat on both sides, and Chen Ming sat opposite the old man.

During the whole meal, no one spoke, including Luo Zixin.

There was only a slight sound of chewing, and the sound of Chen Ming sipping wild vegetable soup.

It wasn't until the old man finished the last bite of coarse grains in the bowl that he smiled and said,

"As people get older, they can only eat light food."

"The stomach and intestines are not so lucky."

Chen Ming felt that the old man was looking at him when he spoke.

So he smiled,

"It doesn't matter whether you are old or not. The main thing is whether you want to eat it or not."

"Old man, as long as you are in a good mood, let alone eating, it is not impossible to drink a pound of wine."

These words attracted angry looks from the young juniors sitting on both sides.

It seems that there has never been such an out-of-the-box conversation at the dinner table in the past.

The old man finally nodded with interest.

"That's true. If you really want to drink a pound of wine, you can still drink it, haha."

"You like these meals?"

The old man looked at the three empty bowls piled up in front of him.

Chen Ming wiped his mouth and put an empty bowl on top, and said honestly.

"The taste is average, not as fragrant as the rabbit I roasted on the mountain."

"The main thing is that I'm not picky about food, and everything tastes pretty much the same."

"It's just that the bowl is a bit small."

Chen Ming pushed the four empty bowls in front of him.

I'm a little confused. If you want to maintain your health, you should maintain your health. Why does the bowl for eating have to be so small?

You still have to work hard to serve the rice!

"Thank you for the treat, old man! I'm full!"

He thanked the old man sincerely,

In his eyes,

As long as you can take care of the food and stuff, you have to say thank you.

The old man nodded and didn't say much.

And at this time,

Suddenly someone shouted from the yard,

It was an equally old voice,

"Old Liu, I heard that you got another batch of good tea?"

"I'm here for tea!"

between words,

Another old man with gray hair came in,

When the juniors on both sides of the table saw this old man, they all stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.

Chen Ming also turned around and looked,

Just in time to meet those eyes,

Both of them looked a little surprised.

"Old man?"

"Chen Ming?"

The person coming is none other than Li Laoyao, the big boss of Guoan.

Chen Ming twitched the corners of his lips and said something that shocked the younger generation.

"Old man, I just came out from your place. I didn't plan to meet you again so soon..."

I was so embarrassed when I was chased during the assessment.

Just after picking up the command post, he still had a little anger left in his heart.

Mr. Li laughed and said,

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find you, kid."

Then his eyes quickly locked on Luo Zixin beside him, and he drifted past.

Finally, he looked at Luo Zixin’s grandfather, and the two exchanged glances briefly.

Mr. Liu stood up on his own initiative and walked upstairs.

"It's rare to come over, let's go upstairs and have tea."

"Juniors, let them make trouble on their own."

"Zixin, come here and stay with us two old men. Aunt Wang, go back and take my bag of spring tea back to him."

Luo Zixin first glanced at Chen Ming, with some worry in her eyes.

But after he smiled softly, he could only go upstairs to help the old man.

Mr. Li immediately walked upstairs. When he passed by Chen Ming, he patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile,

"Sure, kid!"

"Old Liu's tea, most people are really not lucky enough to get it."

Anyone can hear it,

Mr. Liu's last sentence of sending tea was for him.
