Chapter 1338 The target appears
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.

This is truly the worst possible scenario.

"This is how to do?"

Grandma Xiao became anxious, "Will we be unable to retrieve the pearl from the fish?"

"……uncertain."

Grandpa Xiao shook his head. "Young people may just come to the teahouse to drink tea on a whim or out of curiosity. Maybe they won't come again next time."

“But not the elderly.”

"It's hard to say whether the child will come back, but the old man with the child will probably come back."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, "I have confidence in our tea."

Hearing this, Father Xiao and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"That old man will definitely come again."

Xiao Xiao looked at his mother and grandmother, "Mom, grandma, please help me keep an eye on it."

Among the people present, only Xiao's mother and Xiao's grandmother knew what the other person looked like.

"If he comes, tell me."

"Let me explain to the old man."

"Ok."

Mother Xiao nodded, "Your grandmother and I will help you keep an eye out."

"Of course you came back to explain."

Grandpa Xiao said as a matter of course, "We also know only a little about this matter."

"When people ask us about some details, we can't answer them."

"Then people will think we have bad intentions and are trying to blackmail you."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

It was because of this worry that he told Xiao's mother and others at the beginning that if they saw the old man, they didn't need to go up to negotiate in person, but just call him and ask him to come back.

He will do the rest.

……

After having an early dinner at home, Xiao Xiao went back to school.

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new semester.

Winter vacation is over.

It would be inconvenient for him to wait for news at home.

Besides, he has classes early tomorrow morning.

……

"Old Three, you're back?"

Zhang Bo waved casually at Xiao Xiao who came in through the door. He glanced at Xiao Xiao from the corner of his eye and then quickly returned to the computer screen, "So late?"

"Is the matter done?"

……

"The matter on the phone has been handled."

"Oh, done-"

Halfway through the conversation, Zhang Bo suddenly felt something was wrong, "Have you finished the matter on the phone?"

"Is there anything else you haven't done?"

He finally turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Is it troublesome?"

"Third brother, do you need help?"

Zhao Luzheng asked with concern.

"Old Three, you are really busy."

Zhuge Yun smacked his lips. "When I left, I had one thing to do, but when I came back, it became two things. One thing was done, but there was still one thing left."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's not a big deal."

“It just takes a while.”

Zhang Bo silently looked at Xiao Xiao for a while, then nodded, "Oh, that's good."

His eyes returned to the computer screen.

……

On Saturday afternoon, Xiao Xiao received a call from his mother.

"Xiaoxiao, the old man is here."

Mother Xiao's voice was a little excited, "The child is here too."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

"Not urgent."

Xiao's mother warned Xiao Xiao, "How can anyone get better immediately after drinking tea?"

"That's a lot of time."

"Just come slowly and be careful on the road."

"Well, I see."

"Mom, see you later."

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.

……

"Classmate, this is the place, right?"

The driver looked up at the young man who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror.

Xiao Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

Turning around, he saw the alley entrance that he was very familiar with. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Yes, it's here."

After paying the fare, Xiao Xiao opened the door and got out of the car. The driver smiled warmly and said, "Goodbye, classmate."

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the yard.

He did not stay in the yard for too long. He habitually put his hand on the head of the pigeon that was unable to stop, greeted the baby spoon that flew over right after it, and went straight into the house.

……

"Xiaoxiao is back."

Xiao's mother lifted the kitchen curtain and happened to see Xiao Xiao walking over, and a smile appeared on her face.

"mom."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved.

"You come with me."

Xiao's mother didn't delay either.

The children have to go back to school later.

It's too late and it's dark.

The road is not safe.

……

"It's the table of guests sitting at the back by the window."

Xiao's mother gestured to Xiao Xiao about the other party's location.

Xiao Xiao looked over.

A grandfather and grandson sat facing each other.

The child's cheeks were puffed up, he held a snack in one hand, and the other hand had already reached for the plate.

His greedy look made the tea drinkers around him couldn't help laughing.

The child's grandfather also shook his head in amusement.

He reached out and wiped the residue from the corner of the child's mouth, "Eat slowly."

"No one is competing with you."

"Be careful not to choke."

"Well-"

As soon as the child opened his mouth, crumbs sprayed all over the table.

"Do not talk."

The old man said hurriedly, "Look at you, kid..."

The child subconsciously wanted to cover his mouth with his hands, but found that his hands were filled with objects, and his movements froze for a moment.

Looking at his grandson's funny posture, the old man twitched his eyebrows, "You greedy little devil."

"Why take so much at once?"

“How ugly.”

"Eat one and then take the next one."

"do you know?"

……

Xiao Xiao walked up to the grandfather and grandson and said, "Excuse me, old man."

"excuse me."

The old man turned around when he heard the voice and looked at the young man who came to talk to him in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"you-"

"Xiaoxiao."

A sudden voice interrupted Xiao Xiao's words, "You haven't gone to school yet?"

"Grandpa Gu."

Xiao Xiao recognized the owner of the voice and looked up.

It was indeed Mr. Gu. “I have something to do so I’ll be back soon.”

With his squinting eyes and slightly plump figure, when Gu Lao smiles he looks like the kind and lovable Maitreya Buddha.

"That's it."

"…Excuse me, am I disturbing you?"

Only when I walked into Gu Lao's room did I realize that Xiaoxiao seemed to be talking to someone.

A strange old man.

He has been to Xiao's Teahouse quite often, and he has impressions of almost all the guests who have been there several times.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Laochong smiled apologetically at the old man sitting in his seat, then waved his hand at Xiao Xiao, "You guys chat."

"I won't disturb you anymore."

Mr. Gu put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards his old friend who was waving at him.

……

"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao continued his self-introduction which had been interrupted before.

“This teahouse is currently run by my father.”

"Huh? Oh."

The old man was confused and didn't understand what the young man was trying to say.
However, Gu Lao's interruption just now indirectly confirmed that the young man's identity should be fine, which reduced the old man's vigilance towards the young man a lot.

"I have something I want to tell you."

Xiao Xiao also noticed the subtle change in the old man's attitude, and praised Gu Lao for his timely appearance. "It's a bit of a long story."
