Chapter 2817 Habit
Looking at the small plate placed in front of him, Xiao Xiao did not become too polite with the elegant old man.

He reached out and picked up a piece of dessert.

He loves all kinds of snacks from his restaurant.

.....
"Shangqing should also try it."

The elegant old man greeted the young friend with a smile.

“This is the dim sum from my old classmate’s teahouse.”

“It tastes delicious.”

……

Shangqing looked at the snacks.

The exquisite appearance makes it interesting.

It raised its eyes and looked towards the elegant old man.

The elegant old man smiled and nodded.

"Taste it."

"really tasty."

……

Shangqing slowly reached out and took a piece of dessert.

……

"How about it?"

Seeing Shangqing take a bite of the dessert, the elegant old man couldn't wait to ask.

"Is it tasty?"

……

Shangqing nodded.

"good to eat."

It melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy.

It is indeed top-notch craftsmanship.

Shangqing quickly finished a piece of dessert.

After taking a sip of scented tea, it narrowed its eyes slightly.

This dessert goes very well with the scented tea.

……

"Haha."

The elegant old man smiled.

"nice! You love it."

"Then eat more."

"The snacks won't be around for long."

"Xiao Xiao brought so many things here. I was worried about what would happen if they broke."

"it's good now."

"You all help me eat some."

……

The Shangqing boy nodded slightly.

It took another piece of dessert.

……

A smile flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

If he had known that Grandpa Ouyang had such a special guest, he would have brought more snacks.

……

The sound of rain was getting louder.

Came from outside.

There was a commotion between heaven and earth.

……

"It's raining so heavily today..."

The elegant old man felt somewhat emotional.

If he had known this, he would have had a good reason to refuse his friend's request for his grandson to come over.

How big of a deal?

There is no need to let the children run so far on a rainy day.

The elegant old man regretted that he did not check the weather forecast this morning.

Now, unless he has to do laundry or go out the next day, he doesn't really care what the weather is like.

After all, no matter what the weather is like, it doesn’t matter much to him staying at home.

……

"Grandpa Ouyang, you eat too."

Seeing that the elegant old man was just watching them eat, Xiao Xiao smiled and pushed one of the plates of snacks towards him.

"These snacks are specially made for you by grandpa."

……

The elegant old man was stunned.

"Are these snacks made by Lao Xiao?"

The elegant old man looked surprised.

Because the last time I went to Xiao’s Teahouse, the dim sum served were all made by my old classmate’s son.

He also praised his old classmate's son for his excellent craftsmanship.

Although the old classmate waved his hand and said that his son's skills were still some distance away from his, anyone with a discerning eye could see the pride and happiness on his face.

The elegant old man thought that the snacks this time were also made by his old classmate’s son.

did not think of……

……

The elegant old man was quite moved.

"Your grandfather is really thoughtful."

"Thank your grandfather for me when you get back."

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Rather than thanking you, I think Grandpa would like to hear your opinion of his craftsmanship."

……

"Haha."

After a slight pause, the elegant old man laughed out loud.

"of course."

"I'll try it."

"Your grandfather's craftsmanship must be good."

"I have to think carefully about how to praise your grandfather..."

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

"I will repeat it to Grandpa word for word."

……"well."

The elegant old man's brows were relaxed.

He looked carefully at the plates of snacks on the table.

His old classmates really made a lot of snacks for him.

"Your grandfather made all this?"

The elegant old man was inspired.

"so amazing."

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao frowned.

“Grandpa’s snacks are delicious.”

……

"Ah."

After swallowing the snack in his mouth, the elegant old man nodded in agreement.

"Your grandfather's craftsmanship can be called a master's."

……

"Grandpa will be very happy to hear such high praise from you."

There was a bright smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

"What are you happy about?"

The elegant old man said with a hint of sarcasm, "You must have heard similar words from your grandfather many times."

……

Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face and looked serious.

"Grandpa cherishes every compliment."

Every person who eats Grandpa’s snacks is different.

Every compliment is unique.

……

The elegant old man clapped his hands and laughed.

"indeed."

"That's just the way your grandfather is."

"He is very particular about his profession."

"This is also what I admire most about your grandfather."

……

The elegant old man ate snacks and chatted with Xiao Xiao about many stories about him and Xiao Xiao's grandfather when they were in high school.

Those youthful memories, now told by myself who is over fifty years old, are particularly touching.

Youth...School...

It is really a period of time that one cannot help but miss.

It’s too beautiful.

Like a piece of drawing paper covered with colorful paints.

A lot of glittering gold powder is sprinkled on it.

Shining brightly in the long river of time.

……

"what."

The elegant old man suddenly reacted.

"Shangqing, I'm sorry..."

He had been talking to Xiao Xiao, and although it was not intentional, the fact was that he did ignore his young friend.

The elegant old man was very sorry.

……

The Shangqing boy shook his head indifferently.

It heard many new stories that it had never heard the old man tell before.

This was enough for it to ignore the old man's rudeness in ignoring it.

“Your story is very interesting.”

……

"is it?"

The elegant old man instantly understood what the young man meant.

He smiled.

"If you're willing to listen, I can tell you more stories from my past later."

……

"it is good."

Shangqing nodded.

It likes to talk about the past and the present.

It is interested in both the old and yellowed texts in history and the things happening around it.

It greedily takes everything.

……

The elegant old man looked as if he had thought of something.

"Shangqing, wait for me."

The elegant old man got up and went to the study.

……

Soon, the elegant old man came back with a book.

"This is an old book I found by chance in the garbage collector's room."

"It's a version I haven't seen..."

……

The elegant old man and the Shangqing boy had a heated discussion about this old book.

At this time, Xiao Xiao was the one who was left out.

Xiao Xiao listened quietly.

He was amazed by the profound knowledge of the man and the demon.

Even though he was just listening, he felt that he benefited a lot.

……

Looking at the high spirits on the elegant old man's face and hearing the old man's strong voice in his ears, Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly curved.

Grandpa told him that Grandpa Ouyang’s wife passed away a year ago.

Grandpa Ouyang rejected his children's suggestion that he move to the city and chose to live alone in the suburbs.

Grandpa Ouyang said he was used to this room.

I've also gotten used to suburban life.
