"Then if you are not busy now, hurry up and smoke." The little guy urged.
He felt that if he wanted to have sweets more often in the future, he would have to remind his grandfather to smoke a pipe every day.
"Okay, smoke." Old Man Song nodded in agreement with a doting look on his face, then skillfully filled the pipe pot with shredded tobacco, pressed it down with his fingertips, and finally took out the fire stick and lit it.
He sucked on the cigarette holder and took a drag, then his expression changed drastically.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Old Man Song suddenly coughed violently. The rapid sound made people suspect that his lungs were about to be coughed out.
I coughed violently for a while and then slowly stopped.
He angrily threw the pipe to the ground, grabbed his grandson's shoulders, pushed him onto his knees, then slapped his little buttocks several times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Wow...Mom, grandpa hit me...wuwu..."
The little guy's butt hurt, and he burst into tears. While crying, he didn't forget to ask his mother for help.
"You little bastard, you dare to mix chili shreds into my tobacco, let's see if I don't slap your butt to pieces!" Old Man Song yelled.
It turned out that the reason why he coughed so much was because the tobacco was mixed with shredded chili pepper, which choked him.
"Father-in-law, why are you beating the child?" The eldest daughter-in-law heard the baby's cry and hurriedly ran out of the yard. When she saw the father-in-law slapping the baby on the butt, she immediately stepped forward and snatched the baby away.
"This little brat mixed chili shreds into my tobacco and almost choked me to death. Do you think I should be beaten?" Old Man Song asked angrily.
Bang bang bang——
Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law slapped her and started beating her. While beating her, she scolded her: "If you don't imitate the good, then I'll beat your ass."
"Ah...Mom, I don't dare anymore, never again...wuwu..." The little guy turned pale with fright and howled in pain.
"That's all, stop fighting, but don't really break my precious grandson." Old Man Song couldn't help but feel distressed as he took his grandson away from his eldest daughter-in-law.
"Don't protect him. If he does bad things, he will be beaten. Otherwise, when he grows up, he will kill people and set fires." The eldest daughter-in-law said with distress and anger.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"This damn old woman has ruined a good child by her!" Old Man Song was furious when he heard this.
The eldest daughter-in-law frowned in displeasure, but out of respect for her elders, she did not blame her.
"I have to ask the damn old woman what she is worried about? Do you think I'm going to live a long time?"
Old man Song cursed and entered the yard, took long strides and walked straight to the kitchen.
"Ha ha……"
However, when the old woman who was cooking heard Old Man Song's question, she burst into laughter and shed tears of joy. She explained: "Yesterday, the little thing lay on my lap and asked me, 'Grandma, why does grandpa smoke so much?
The less? Does it mean that he doesn’t like smoking pipes anymore?’, I was napping at the time, so I responded casually and said: ‘Maybe the tobacco is not spicy enough, and it tastes bad when he smokes it.’, maybe he remembered it.
Damn it, I mistook the spiciness of shredded tobacco for the spiciness of chili pepper."
When everyone heard the reason, they couldn't help laughing.
"You are so smart with your little head, but you almost sent your grandpa away." Old Man Song pinched his grandson's cheek lovingly.
Then he carried him out of the kitchen and asked, "Tell me, why do you want grandpa to smoke shreds so much?"
"I...I want to eat sweets." The little guy said with tears in his eyes.
"Haha, if you want to eat candy, just ask Grandpa. Come on, go outside, Grandpa will reward you with the most delicious candy in the world."
"Ah, really?"
"certainly."
The grandfather and grandson came outside the door. Seeing that no one was following him, Old Man Song reached out and took out a white bean the size of a peanut from his arms, and then broke it into four small pieces.
"Open your mouth." He pinched a small piece and handed it to the little guy's mouth.
The little guy smelled the tangy fragrance and salivated with greed. He immediately opened his mouth to hold the candy brought to his mouth.
"You can only eat so much of this candy a day, and you can eat the rest tomorrow, you know?" Old Man Song put the remaining three small pieces back into his arms.
"Yeah, I know." The little guy nodded vigorously.
He was indeed well-behaved and did not pester Old Man Song for the remaining candy.
At the head of the village, under the leafy old willow tree, Zhang Xiaozu was taking Qi Yoyo, Zhang Xiaobing and Ye Mingyue to appreciate the elegance of the old willow tree.
"Haha..." Zhang Xiaozu was talking about his childhood memories that happened under the old willow tree when he suddenly burst out laughing.
His subtle state of mind has already covered the entire Liujia Village, and Old Man Song and his family are all under his gaze.
When I heard the little guy mixing chili shreds into Old Man Song's tobacco, I was immediately amused. I thought that this little guy was even more wicked than Niu Dawa when he was a child.
He was not surprised that this family appeared in Liujia Village, because when the incident happened in Piaomiao Palace, Niu Dawa and Jin Zhihui returned to the south and had already seen this family when passing by Liujia Village. Niu Dawa had a story after returning to the imperial capital.
Listen to him.
"What are you laughing at?" The three women beside him cast questioning glances at Zhang Xiaopou.
While observing Old Man Song and his family, Zhang Xiaozu told the three girls the interesting things he saw, and the three girls were immediately amused.
"This mother does not protect her children blindly, she is a good mother who understands the truth."
After hearing that the child's mother learned what her child had done, instead of defending her, she immediately taught him a lesson. Ye Mingyue nodded in praise.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yoyo asked.
"This old man took out a pill from his pocket and lied to the baby that it was a jelly bean, but I couldn't feel that he had any cultivation. It seemed to be hidden very deep."
"Maybe he hid from his enemies and hid here anonymously." Ye Mingyue guessed.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said: "This old man is a bit weird, let's be careful."
What he said was weird did not mean that Old Man Song might have hidden his cultivation, but that Old Man Song smoked less and less silk.
He learned from the grandson of Old Man Song that Old Man Song used to smoke two packs of cut tobacco a day, but now he can't finish a pack of cut tobacco for several days. This is almost impossible for a person who is used to smoking pipes.
Zhang Xiaozhu still clearly remembers that when he was eight years old, an old man in the village passed away, and his last wish before dying was to take a sip.
In the words of Niu Dawa's father: "Smoking a pipe can make people addicted. The addiction is engraved in the bones and will never be forgotten even after death."
So Old Man Song suddenly rarely smoked a pipe, which puzzled Zhang Xiaozu.
Furthermore, Old Man Song threw the cigarette pouch to the ground in anger. He hasn't even looked at it yet. He didn't seem to care about the cigarette pouch at all. This is not the normal reaction of a person who is used to smoking cigarette pouches.
"Perhaps something happened that stimulated his emotions and caused his temperament to change drastically." Zhang Xiaozhu guessed in his mind.
"Let's go into the village and have a look."
Zhang Xiaozu led the three girls toward the village along the road covered by weeds.
