Chapter 302 Meeting Again
Chapter 302 Meeting Again
"Little friend, look here (pointing at the sandals) which part was made entirely by you?"
The little boy's head didn't have time to react quickly for a moment, as if he was hit hard by the sudden question. He stood there in a daze. After a short moment, he seemed to come to his senses. Then he carefully stretched out his tender little hand, pointed to a certain part of the straw sandals, and said seriously.
"Ma'am, this is it. I made it myself. I just connected all the parts together. This is all Grandpa asked me to do. It's really cheap. Just 1 dollar will be enough."
As he spoke, the little boy timidly made the number "one", looking particularly adorable. Ying Bu looked at the child, who was only wearing such thin clothes, and couldn't help but feel pity for him. He couldn't help but ask.
"Then where is your grandfather? Can you take us to see him?" When the little boy heard this, he immediately smiled brightly and happily led them to a dark corner.
"Grandpa!" His tone was full of joy and happiness, and he was obviously very happy that he had successfully attracted a customer. At this time, the little boy's grandfather slowly raised his head, and when he saw Qin Xingfu, it seemed as if time had frozen, his eyes instantly widened, and then he immediately stood up, his expression seemed extremely excited, and his eyes flashed with an indescribable light.
"Sir! Why did you suddenly come to this Shu land? We really haven't heard any news about you. What happened to you?"
Qin Xingfu was full of doubts. While supporting the old man, he carefully looked at his now old face and felt that he looked a little familiar.
Yue Xin recognized who the person in front of him was; he was the descendant of Li Bing who had brought the heirloom from afar to give it to them.
"It's just a minor accident. It's nothing serious. You are Li Ze, the descendant of Li Bing!"
Li Ze was very happy that they still remembered his nameless little mouth.
"Thank you, my Lords and gentlemen, for remembering me."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the injuries on Qin Xingfu and Yue Xin's bodies, his eyes full of concern.
Qin Xingfu saw that there were many people coming around, so he comforted her, "Let's talk somewhere else. This is a good place to talk. Is your home far away?"
Li Ze nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's not far. Sir, please follow me. Although my humble abode is simple, it is very glamorous today."
The group walked along the narrow alley, looking at the houses rebuilt after the disaster on both sides, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions. Although these houses look similar, they came to Li Ze's home. The house is simple and plain, but it exudes a warm atmosphere.
"My lord, my humble abode is simple and I am very sorry that you have been wronged."
"Li Ze, no need to be polite, this place is nice and cozy."
The yard was quite big and very clean. Li Ze had been with her before and knew her personality, so he stopped saying polite words.
"Thank you for your praise, my Lord. Our current house is much better than our previous one. Our whole family can live here. It's all thanks to your Majesty's kindness!"
After Li Ze finished speaking, a hint of sadness flashed across his grateful expression, but only for a moment. Qin Xingfu still saw it, so he asked his grandson, who was still in a daze, to boil some water.
"Nian'er, go boil some water."
"Sir, please sit down for a moment. I will make arrangements!"
He was a little anxious and excited, and brought out the good things at home. Qin Xingfu called him.
"You don't have to be like this. Is everything okay at home? Just sit down and talk."
Qin Xingfu remembered that when he arrived in Xiangjun, he would mention his wife from time to time. Now he didn't see her. Did she die in the previous earthquake?
"Okay, okay. Now all the children in our family are in school. My sons are in charge of the family land. My daughter-in-law and her husband also run a small business. Life is getting better and better. They all let me enjoy my life at home, but I can't sit still. In addition to farming, I can also weave some straw sandals to buy candy for my grandson..."
Li Ze was very happy and talked about everything about his family with an excited look on his face. Qin Xingfu felt upset when he saw that he did not mention his wife. The earthquake was really cruel. They also guessed why he aged so quickly.
"It was a good decision to give the things from home to the adults. After that, my two brothers never thought about it again, and we felt more at ease. The younger generation in the family are really dull, and I just hope they will not be so blind in the future."
He really didn't dare to imagine his current life at that time, but every time he thought about such a good life and that his wife, who had shared the good and bad times with him, could no longer enjoy it, he felt very sad in his heart. As he spoke, he couldn't help choking up.
"Everything is fine, really... Now I don't have to worry about food and drink, life is so beautiful."
The little boy boiled the water and thought about the place where the tea leaves were kept at home. Seeing his grandfather's attitude, he was extremely respectful, even the county magistrate had looked down on him before. He thought for a moment and took out the best tea leaves at home to make tea.
Mi Dan saw a little man holding tea, so he helped him and the little boy smiled sweetly at him.
"Thank you brother!"
Li Ze doted on his little grandson very much and served tea to Qin Xingfu and the others.
"Sir, look, this is the tea from the Ming Dynasty. My son took the trouble to personally go to Guizhou and carefully pick the green buds. The taste is simply wonderful, extremely clear and fragrant. I smelled it gently and felt the unique aroma."
Qin Xingfu savored the tea leisurely and contentedly, with his eyes slightly narrowed, as if immersed in the fragrance of tea.
He slowly said, "I've never been very good at tea, and it's really hard for me to tell whether this tea is good or bad, but the smell alone is really intoxicating. The fresh feeling is really refreshing."
Ying Bu, who was standing by, nodded and praised: "It is indeed a top-grade tea. The person who roasted this tea must be an experienced master. The temperature is just right, not too hot or too cold, just enough to bring out the flavor of the tea leaves. Just from smelling it, one can feel refreshed and relaxed."
Li Ze showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and quickly said: "My dear, you are really talented. Actually, I don't really understand the art of tea. I just feel that this tea seems to be a little more fragrant than the teas I drink every day."
After saying this, he felt a little embarrassed. He had originally wanted to show off in front of the adults, but now that he saw the adults were so frank with him, he no longer dared to show off his skills.
After hearing this, Ying Bu laughed heartily and said, "Haha... Actually, I am not good at this either. You are quite good. You are so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age, and you know how to respect your elders. This is really precious."
