Chapter 235: Old Man, I Have to Think of How to Coax Him

The door of the room was pushed open, and the old lady who was able to get off the kang came in with a pot of boiled peanuts. When she saw Lingxi, she smiled and said, "I just asked your second aunt to cook it..."

Before she finished her words, her expression froze instantly when she saw someone in the room. The basin in her hand fell straight down, and peanuts and chestnuts fell all over the floor.

The people in the room were startled.

Little Minghui, who was enjoying the delicious roasted sweet potatoes, quickly put them aside and went forward to help pick them up. Pei Jin, Pei Yu and Pei Xuan got off the kang one by one and came over to help.

"Grandma, please be careful."

"Grandma, why did you deliver it here in person?"

"Grandma, I need you to call me! You have several grandchildren, who can't run errands for you?"

Pei Jin, Pei Yu, and Pei Xuan spoke one by one, and the old lady came back to her senses. Almost immediately, she raised her hands to cover her face, turned around and walked out, faster and faster...

The light in the yard was dim, and she soon disappeared.

"Oh, grandma—"

Pei Jin, Pei Yu and Pei Xuan looked at each other and shouted subconsciously.

Everyone else in the room turned their eyes to the old man.

The atmosphere in the air was stagnant for a moment.

Old man: "..."

The old man didn't quite understand since he was doing well as an invisible man.

Pei Yaning, Second Uncle Pei, and Gu Si Lingxi, who had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, knew just by looking at the old lady's actions that their previous guess was probably right.

Uncle Pei was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

He even gave Pei Yanning a wink before leaving.

Pei Yanning nodded, "Got it!"

Pei Jin and his brothers: "..."

I didn’t quite understand it for a moment. I was a little confused about what the two brothers said.

Pei Yanning waved his hand: "You guys play your own games, this has nothing to do with you."

Adults’ matters are still troublesome, as they make children worry about everything.

Oh!
Of course the younger ones continued!

Pei Yanning saw this and looked at the old man who was almost bursting at the small purse in his hand, and held his forehead with his hand: "Old man!"

He called out "old man" and prepared to discuss something. If he really couldn't coax the old lady, he would come out and rage her again, the kind that would rage her if she didn't live well and he brought back a concubine.

The old man can't learn to be tender and affectionate. Instead, do the opposite and teach him more. It won't be difficult to change the old man's face, which is always cold and silent, and says everything in a cold manner.

However, before he could speak, the old man sat down in front of him where Uncle Pei had sat before: "Do you want me to continue with you?"

When he said this, there was some anticipation in his clear and calm eyes.

The two brothers had only played half of their game.

Pei Yanning, who was about to say something, choked.

Gu Si Lingxi, who was watching quietly, almost laughed out loud.

Not long after, Uncle Pei turned around and walked back. He looked at the people in the room with a bad expression: "It seems that the old lady is not at home."

Ok?
Pei Yanning looked at Uncle Pei in confusion.

Uncle Pei frowned, "I just went out, thinking the old lady would go back to her room or the kitchen, but I didn't see her. I went to the main room, but she wasn't there either. Lingxi's second aunt also said she didn't see her."

Pei Jin, Pei Yu, and Pei Xuan had just finished collecting peanuts and returned to the card table. Seeing this, they stood up and said, "Let's go look for it."

Pei Yanning also dispersed his mental power at the first possible moment.

Search every corner of the house first, and then radiate your mental power out.

However, after this investigation, Pei Yanning's expression changed.

His mental power was not as strong as Gu Si's, but it could still radiate hundreds of meters around him. But even so, he still didn't see anyone.

Pei Yanning stood up: "Let's go out and look for him. It's freezing cold..."

Lingxi showed some worry on her face, "Dad..." Pei Yanning looked at Lingxi who had stood up and didn't let her go out: "Your fourth brother can't walk far, let's split up and look for someone. We can't rest assured if you are alone, you should stay at home!"

Lingxi finally nodded.

Soon, the only people left in the room were Gu Si Lingxi and the old man who was sitting there in a daze holding the chess pieces. As for Minghui, he was taken back to Mrs. Pei by Pei Jin before she left.

Lingxi came back to her senses and poked Gu Si.

Gu Si understood and sat down in Pei Yanning's original position: "Grandpa, I'll play a few games with you."

The old man nodded.

Lingxi was a little distracted as she watched the two people playing chess.

These days, Pei Yanning and Uncle Pei have been telling their younger generations about the old man a lot.

The old man actually pays more attention to Pei Yanning than Uncle Pei.

Pei Yanning was his eldest son. It was his first time as a father, but he forgot to ask the gender. He only looked at the face, and for quite a long time, he treated Pei Yanning as a girl. He was extremely cautious.

Later I realized I was wrong, but the mode of getting along had already been set when we first met.

Perhaps it was because he felt confident because he was favored, Pei Yanning got angry with the old man when they first met, but Uncle Pei was not like that. This is the reason.

As for Uncle Pei...

Uncle Pei has always been a little afraid of the old man.

The old man doesn't know how to laugh, and he doesn't speak softly or gently with a smile like other people do. He is always cold, so he always thought that the old man didn't like them brothers.

But as I grew up and thought back on the past, I could understand that this person had simply lost the ability to express himself, and deep down he did want to be close to them.

But they were afraid of him at first, and he didn't want them to be scared, so he gradually appeared less in front of them.

In the long run, it becomes a vicious cycle...

After a while, before they could truly understand this hidden feeling, this person completely disappeared from their world.

In the blink of an eye, half a lifetime had passed before they met again. Uncle Pei, who had already thought it through, was able to call him father calmly when they met for the first time.

Lingxi watched the old man who was multitasking, playing chess while looking out the window from time to time.

She took the initiative to hand him a cup of milk tea and placed it next to him.

"Grandpa, try this. My fourth brother made it. It's really delicious."

The old man looked back at Lingxi, hummed, and then took a sip and nodded obediently: "It tastes good."

He added: "Tea is also very good. I have some good tea. I'll get you some tomorrow."

Lingxi: “…”

She liked the old man's habit of giving things to her whenever he disagreed with her.

"Okay!"

Lingxi's eyebrows curved, she was curious, "Grandpa, are you worried about Dad and the others or Grandma? Just tell me and my fourth brother and I can help you analyze it!"

The old man put down the chess piece in his hand and ate up Gu Si's white piece. Looking at Lingxi's curved eyebrows, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

"Are you worried about me?" He was a little happy.

"I was thinking that if your grandma ran away, your dad and your second uncle would be angry with me, and I would have to think of how to comfort them."

Lingxi choked.

Seeing that the old man was really thinking about how to coax him, Gu Si smiled and gave him some advice, "Grandpa, trust me, when the time comes, just hold him and spin around. Dad and Second Uncle will definitely feel better. If they still don't feel better, just spin around a few more times."

He even winked at Lingxi and said, "Wife, tell me, when you were unhappy and Fourth Brother comforted you like that, did your mood instantly improve?"

Lingxi: “…”

She subconsciously looked at the old man and found that he was actually thinking seriously.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

The image of the old man holding her father and second uncle and spinning around in circles suddenly appeared in her mind. The image was so beautiful that she dared not look at it!
