Chapter 157: The Pig That Specifically Eats Cabbage

~7 min read 1,329 words

An old lady walked out of the door with a vegetable basket, it was Grandma Liu from the neighbor's house on the right.

"Grandma Liu, going to buy vegetables again?"

Qin Tian greeted her with a smile.

The old lady, whose hair was already gray but whose body was still healthy, looked at him quickly, squinted and nodded with a smile: "Yes, going to buy vegetables!"

Grandma Liu locked the main door and asked kindly: "Little Tian, you finished the college entrance exam?"

"Yes, finished."

"How did you do?"

"It's okay!"

"That's good, then Grandma Liu will wait to eat the wedding banquet!"

"Okay, where is Grandpa Sun?"

"Went fishing, left early in the morning."

"I see, then you go buy vegetables, be careful on the road!"

"Okay, okay."

Grandma Liu nodded repeatedly with a gentle smile, and went toward the vegetable market as usual.

Qin Tian stood at the door eating breakfast, watching the old lady walk away, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

These two elderly neighbors had always been very loving in his impression, and he had never heard them quarrel or turn red-eyed.

It wasn't until he entered the workplace after graduation that one year during the Spring Festival, he greeted this Grandma Liu, but found that she was dull and didn't recognize him.

From his mother's mouth, Qin Tian learned that this Grandma Liu had Alzheimer's disease, and her memory was getting worse and worse.

He remembered that during that Spring Festival, the children of these two old people still didn't come back.

Until before he was reborn, Grandma Liu had almost forgotten the people and things around her, but fortunately, she only remembered Grandpa Sun.

Grandpa Sun had also been taking care of his wife without giving up, just like Grandma Liu bought vegetables and cooked every day now, taking care of Grandpa Sun.

This might be what the ancients called "moistening each other with foam and growing old together"!

"Grandma Liu doesn't look like this at all now!"

Qin Tian said to himself and walked into the house.

He decided to find an opportunity to remind Grandpa Sun, let Grandpa take Grandma Liu out for a walk more, moderate exercise, and pay attention to mental state and dietary balance.

These could only play a preventive role, but it was better than doing nothing.

After filling his stomach, Qin Tian helped tidy up the house, and the clothes that needed to be washed were thrown into the washing machine.

His mom, unsurprisingly, should be going to the mall to talk about the rent again.

She had always been frugal, and if she could save a penny, his mom would have to work hard to bargain.

Qin Tian felt that there was nothing wrong with this. Even if she had more money in the future, if she got married and had children, she would have to let his mom help educate the children and develop this good habit from childhood.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian shook his head helplessly and hard, raised his hand and slapped himself on the face not too lightly.

Does this count as a disadvantage of a mature man's soul?

Thinking too far for no reason, reckless and restless.

After doing the housework, the phone was also fully charged.

Qin Tian picked up the phone and prepared to go to the front room to watch TV and kill time.

After turning it on, he found that Xia Nuannuan had sent a message at eight o'clock in the morning.

Qin Tian hurriedly typed to reply.

"My phone ran out of power and turned off last night, I just finished breakfast and did some housework."

Turning on the TV, he found the classic comedy Apartment Love Part 2 that he had watched many times, and watched it while eating melon seeds.

A few minutes later, the phone on the side dinged.

Qin Tian picked it up and looked.

Nuannuan Little Sun: "Are you sure it's breakfast?"

"Fine, breakfast plus lunch!"

"Hee hee... lazy pig, lazy pig, my mom didn't call me to get up today either, I still woke up at eight o'clock."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am the pig that specifically eats water-spirit cabbage."

Xia Nuannuan didn't reply to the message this time, and sent a big machete expression pack.

Qin Tian smiled and typed: "I plan to go to the internet cafe to play for a while in the afternoon, Zhang Peng must be there too, are you going?"

"Going, going, you said you would teach me how to play games."

"Okay, then I'll send you a message before going out."

"Mm-hmm

"Go on, go on!"

After sending the message, Qin Tian lay back on the sofa and used his phone to check the stock market trends.

Over the past few days, the funds in his investment account had risen again.

Before going to Jiangcheng to hand over the seven hundred thousand to Zhao Mingyuan, he could still earn a little more where he could.

In fact, with his current stock trading experience and techniques, combined with his foresight advantage, if he played it steady, achieving financial freedom in the stock market was very possible.

But Qin Tian didn't intend to do that; he would continue with stock investments, but he also needed some real industry to act as a safety net.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Tian sent a message to Xia Nuannuan.

"I'm getting ready to head out, do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, it's not on the way, let's just meet at the internet cafe."

Xia Nuannuan replied quickly.

"Okay!"

Qin Tian sent the single word and picked up the remote to turn off the TV.

After locking the door, he turned and strode toward the internet cafe.

He sent a message to Zhang Peng, and sure enough, the guy was right there, playing a game with Xu Hao.

Passing by a pancake stall, he felt a bit hungry, so he bought three pancakes—one to eat himself and two to pack for later.

Afterward, he bought some water and ice cream at a supermarket.

Arriving at the entrance of the internet cafe, he ate his pancake and waited for a while before seeing Xia Nuannuan jogging over.

"Want some?"

Qin Tian watched her reach him and smiled, lifting the things he was carrying.

"I already ate lunch, so I won't have the pancake. I'll have an ice cream, though. What do you have?"

Xia Nuannuan asked happily.

"Little Pudding, Green Mood, Cornetto, and what else... pick one yourself!"

Qin Tian handed the bag directly to her.

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan took the bag with a sweet smile and chose a Green Mood.

The two went upstairs and entered the internet cafe.

The weather outside wasn't too hot, but the air conditioning was already on inside, making it very cool.

"Are you cold?"

Qin Tian finished the last bite of his pancake and looked at Xia Nuannuan with concern.

Xia Nuannuan shook her head with a beaming smile.

Qin Tian didn't say anything more and brought her to the counter.

It was the same young woman at the register; seeing them, she showed a warm smile and said, "Xu Hao just came by and opened two computers for you."

"Is that so? Then thank you!"

Qin Tian smiled and thanked her, then took Xia Nuannuan's free hand and walked toward the direction where Xu Hao always sat.

Xia Nuannuan took another small bite of her ice cream and then reached out to hold it to his mouth.

"Do you want a bite?"

"Mm!"

Qin Tian smiled and took a bite.

The girl at the register was stunned for a moment, a sudden wave of sourness rising in her heart.

"This girl... she feels so much prettier! Does falling in love have this kind of effect?"

After the two had walked a bit further away, the girl muttered in surprise, her envy fully apparent.
