Three days later, at noon on Saturday, in S County Hotel.
Li Xianyu and Great-grandmother had fried rice noodles for lunch. After eating fried rice without eggs for two days, Great-grandmother finally got her wish and added braised eggs, chicken drumsticks, and scrambled eggs to the rice noodles. Even so, after eating the 200 yuan per person meal in the restaurant, Great-grandmother, who was born in a rich family, no longer liked the food in S County Hotel.
She picked up the shiny rice noodles with chopsticks and found all kinds of faults. She said that the oil tasted strange, the scrambled eggs were too fishy, the braised eggs were not fresh, and the chicken drumsticks were too old.
"Eat or leave," Li Xianyu said.
"I don't want to eat." Great-grandmother puffed her cheeks and slammed the chopsticks on the table.
"I'll eat if you don't want to eat." Li Xianyu picked up the chicken drumsticks and braised eggs from her bowl.
"You …" Great-grandmother snatched it back angrily and said with a resentful face, "You're not filial at all. You're not obedient at all."
The bright sunshine shone on the street. It was a beautiful spring day. Li Xianyu sighed faintly.
"My name is Li Xianyu. The remaining 90,000 yuan has been squandered by Great-grandmother in the past three days. I'm panicking now."
Now Li Xianyu only had 5,000 yuan in cash that day. If he lived alone, it would be enough. But with such a squandering Great-grandmother, this little money was not enough.
Li Xianyu finally understood the meaning of "only women and villains are hard to raise". Women were all liars. The more beautiful a woman was, the more liars she would be!
This sentence was the best interpretation of Great-grandmother.
Although they had agreed that their living expenses could not exceed 150 yuan a day, his great-grandmother had reluctantly agreed on the surface. While he was at school, she had snuck out to the nearby shopping mall by herself. She had bought bags, clothes, high heels, and snacks that filled the entire bed.
In three days, the balance in the card was all squandered by Great-grandmother.
Li Xianyu was so angry that he almost betrayed his master and asked her why she didn't keep her promise. Great-grandmother said with certainty, "I promised you that I wouldn't reload the game. How is that not keeping my promise?"
Li Xianyu almost had a heart attack and died on the spot.
Two hundred thousand dollars was an unimaginable amount of money for a college student with no income.
That day, he really wanted to beat up Great-grandmother. He had already pushed her down on the sofa, took off his shoes, and was about to beat up Great-grandmother's perky buttocks. Unexpectedly, when Great-grandmother sucked in her small mouth, Li Xianyu, who had been boiling with anger a moment ago, softly fell to the ground with a "hmm", clutching both sides of his waist and shivering.
Great-grandmother sat on the sofa. Her face was rosy and radiant, but her eyes were timid. She said angrily, "If you dare to hit me, I'll suck you dry."
Li Xianyu, who once again experienced his waist being hollowed out, painfully understood a truth. It wasn't that his ancestors couldn't train Great-grandmother, but that they were the ones being trained.
You're still your Great-grandmother, and you're still your Great-grandmother!
.....
"Great-grandmother, we really don't have any money." Li Xianyu frowned and said, "I'm still a student, okay? I don't have an income. If you spend money so extravagantly, we won't even have money to eat in the future."
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself. I'll send a few. I used to spend money like this too. Only an idiot wouldn't spend money. " Great-grandmother's attitude of admitting her mistake was very good, but Li Xianyu knew that it wouldn't change her squandering nature.
"Forget it, we don't have any money anyway. I'm barefoot, so I'm not afraid of you." Li Xianyu said.
"Let's rob a bank," Great-grandmother suggested.
"Deep Well Ice, I'm a law-abiding citizen."
"Don't be afraid, I've robbed a bank before," Great-grandmother said confidently, "It's very simple. Just carry a snakeskin bag, hit anyone you see, and smash any glass you see. Then, you'll be able to get out of poverty and become rich."
"You've robbed a bank before?" Li Xianyu was shocked.
"I was at the end of my rope and had no money to spend." Great-grandmother rested her chin on one hand and looked up, looking very cute. "Your father didn't think about making progress and didn't know how to make money at all, so I could only rob a bank myself. Those mortals were no match for me, and I had a lot of money in the bank. But later, your father was wanted by the Buddhist Taoist Association for disturbing public order for three months, hehe … "
Hehe, your sister!
You sinkhole.
Li Xianyu said seriously, "Great-grandmother, I'll work hard to make money to support you in the future, even if I have to give up my kidney to support you."
Great-grandmother smiled like a flower. "Yes, that's good."
Li Xianyu: _ | ̄ | ●
"Right, Great-grandmother, after I practiced this morning, I tried to practice Qi, but I realized that I couldn't feel Qi at all," Li Xianyu said, "Also, my nose is a little uncomfortable now, and I feel like I've inhaled too much haze."
The weather was good this morning, but he still inhaled some haze.
Great-grandmother showed a rare expression of waning interest. "Your talent in Qi cultivation is not good, and you've wasted a few days. The Heavenly Gate is closed, so naturally, you can't feel Qi. As for the miasma, for many days, the miasma has been thick and thin, but it still lingers and doesn't dissipate. The stars could not be seen in the dark night, and the blue sky could not be seen in the daytime. Mortals might not find it a hindrance, but to Qi Refinement Warriors, it was a great poison. Maybe you're right, times have changed, and maybe we've entered the End of Days. "
"Then how do the Blood Descendants of this era practice Qi?" Li Xianyu said, "There must be a way."
"Maybe the Qi cultivators are hiding from the world, or maybe they have some way to overcome the miasma. I haven't been awake for long, and I haven't had any dealings with them, so I don't know, "Great-grandmother said.
Li Xianyu automatically filled in the gaps in his imagination. A more fantastical guess: The big shots opened up a treasure land in Dongtian, and the spiritual energy is rich, so they no longer need to breathe in the haze in the modern world.
A more scientific guess: They improved the Qi cultivation method, and can expel the haze from the body.
A more low-end guess: After many years of adaptation, they have antibodies, and are not afraid of breathing in the haze.
Li Xianyu was more inclined to the last guess.
After eating, he brought Great-grandmother home. On the way, they passed by a fruit and vegetable shop, and Great-grandmother stared at a basket of bright red strawberries.
In this season, there was still more than a month before the strawberries ripened, but there were already strawberries on the market.
Great-grandmother looked at it eagerly, "Li Xianyu, are the strawberries sweet?"
Li Xianyu looked at her and said, "Wait."
Great-grandmother smiled happily, "Yes, yes."
Li Xianyu walked into the shop and asked the boss, "Are the strawberries sweet?"
The boss praised himself, "Sweet, very sweet, and they're all fresh."
Li Xianyu said, "Oh," and walked back to Great-grandmother, "I asked, sweet."
Great-grandmother, "…"
"I want to eat strawberries," Great-grandmother said.
"I don't have money." Li Xianyu walked forward with a straight face.
In this season, strawberries must be extremely expensive. In this life, he hated three kinds of fruits. One was strawberry, one was cherry, and the last one was durian.
They will let you know that you are so poor that you can't even bear to eat fruit.
In a place like Shanghai, a day's food expenses will be gone if you go out and buy some fruit.
Great-grandmother followed behind him, stretched out a small hand, and held the corner of Li Xianyu's clothes, "Li Xianyu, I want to eat strawberries."
"I want to eat strawberries."
"I want to eat strawberries."
