Chapter 309: He runs, he chases, he can't fly away

~7 min read 1,399 words

The successive natural disasters and the sorrow of the Head of State's passing brought a haze to the National Day holiday that should have been celebratory.

After Old Master Lu and the others had stayed in the Capital enough, they said goodbye to friends and relatives and continued to board the train to return to the Sea Island for retirement.

Yes, retirement.

Through their exchanges with peers this time, they realized how comfortable life on the Sea Island was.

Even the changes in their hair strands were the most obvious!

Everyone is afraid of death.

Especially the elderly; when they have descendants around their knees and the national strength is gradually becoming stronger, they are even more reluctant to die.

So after the serious business was done, they thought about returning to the Sea Island early to continue living their retirement life.

Unexpectedly, on the train, they accidentally caught human traffickers stealing children, and then a group of sixty-year-old grandfathers acted bravely and captured a group of human traffickers!

They helped the railway police solve the child trafficking case and did a great good deed, which delayed their return...

Jiang Ye went to pick them up and missed them. Later, after inquiring with the railway department, he learned of the old masters' glorious deeds. Between laughter and tears, he could only come to pick them up the day after tomorrow.

When he returned home and told his wife and sister-in-law the situation, both of them gasped!

"My goodness, Grandpa and the others are old bones, and they still dare to toss around like this. Were they injured?"

"The railway police who took the call didn't say in detail, so I suppose they should be fine."

Jiang Ye shook his head, not making the words too full.

He speculated that if there were injuries, the train schedule wouldn't have been changed so quickly.

Pei Yan Ting had a good mindset, feeling that lucky people have their own heaven-sent protection; the grandfathers were great!

The great old masters were all staying in the guesthouse arranged by the local Public Security Bureau, waiting for tomorrow's train.

In this era where everyone shouts to beat human traffickers, catching them means saving countless families and avoiding countless families being broken and separated!

So in the guesthouse, they received meticulous care from the staff.

Just like that, Old Master Lu and the others arrived in Haibin City two days later than expected.

Jiang Ye finally picked them up this time and helped them move their luggage.

"Grandpa, were you injured?"

"No, no, we are very agile. Hey, wait, why are you asking this question?"

"Grandpa, your heroic and fearless deeds on the train have already spread throughout the Sea Island Jiashuyuan."

"Ah?"

"The Railway Bureau and the local jurisdiction's Public Security Bureau have both called our Sea Island to send letters of commendation."

Jiang Ye said quietly; it couldn't be hidden, it absolutely couldn't be hidden.

Old Master Lu and the others covered their foreheads; "people are afraid of fame, pigs are afraid of being fat"—it means the same thing!

Sure enough, when they returned to the retirement home, along the way, people who knew them all came over to flatter them with a sentence or two—

"Amazing, you are old but still vigorous; I admire you, I admire you."

"Were you injured? Are you free tonight? Let's have a drink and chat."

"You're back. When are you free to go fishing together?"

"I found a new fishing spot; let's go bait it together another day."

"Old Lu, do you lack a companion? I have a distant relative, she's only in her early fifties this year..."

"Hey, why are you running?"

Jiang Ye was holding back internal injuries; it turned out Grandpa's market was so popular.

"Don't laugh, don't tell Manman about this."

Old Master Lu threatened, not knowing that this threat had absolutely no deterrent power.

"Yes."

Jiang Ye held back his laughter, pursed his lips, and returned to his normal expression.

But he bought this, which didn't mean the other old masters did.

Old Master Lu guarded against everything, but he didn't guard against the old buddy who was against him...

"What, my grandfather is looking for a second spring?"

When Shen Man heard this news, her whole person felt a bit numb.

Is it true or false?

"Lin dog, I am irreconcilable with you!"

Old Master Lu hurriedly put down the child, found a broom at the foot of the wall, and rushed to whip Old Master Lin.

He runs, he chases, he can't fly away!

"Is it worth it, Old Lin? I didn't say anything wrong; someone is playing matchmaker for you. Why are you still unhappy? Who are you being pretentious for?"

"I'll kill you, you bastard, spreading rumors about me. I only have my late wife in my heart; after a hundred years, I want to be buried with my late wife and reincarnate together!"

"Ow ow ow, you're really whipping me!"

"Nonsense, don't you dare make jokes about my late wife!"

Old Master Lu whipped his old buddy's bottom a few times; in short, he wouldn't remarry!

After a hundred years, he wanted to be buried with his wife and enjoy the sacrifices and offerings of his grandsons and descendants!

If he didn't make it clear now, what if he went down there one day? How would he explain it to his late wife?

"Alright, alright, it was my mistake; I shouldn't have joked about sister-in-law. My fault, my fault."

Old Master Lin heard the serious tone of his old buddy and apologized smoothly and hurriedly:

"If sister-in-law is angry, I'll explain it to you then."

"That's more like it."

Old Master Lu muttered, and the movement in his hand lessened.

Shen Man tugged at her man's hand, signaling him to watch over the grandfathers, to break up the fight, and not to let them keep arguing, as it would affect their relationship.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Lin, if you don't hold Xiao Mantou and the others, they'll pout and cry."

Jiang Ye smiled and easily dissolved the hostility between the two old urchins.

Intergenerational affection is just like that.

"Iya ya."

"Awu."

"Ye ye ye."

After the three little ones saw the familiar elders, they began their performance.

Nothing else, just because since they were born, the voices they heard, the meticulous care, and the people who played with them the most were the elders.

Although the elders didn't let them do this or that, there was no doubt that the elders were truly good to them.

Cleaning up their poop and pee, they served them without complaint.

Although they didn't know what they went to do during the time they disappeared, they really hadn't forgotten them.

Grievance welled up in their hearts, and they all opened their arms, wanting a hug.

"My precious grandson, Great-Grandpa is back. Have you been eating your supplementary food and drinking your milk well lately?"

Old Master Lu threw away the broom and hurriedly came over to hug his beloved little grandsons one by one. His little hearts, don't cry; his little heart couldn't take it.

"Iya ya."

Lian Lian and Xiao Nuomi were both saying something. Xiao Mantou had a stinky temper; he turned his head directly, buried it in his father's shoulder, and only gave his great-grandfather his little butt and back.

Don't think he's cold; he's actually angry.

He hadn't seen his great-grandfather for a long, long time, and he was afraid he wouldn't see him again!

"Xiao Mantou, my little heart, look, what did Great-Grandpa bring you? A five-colored ball, it's super pretty."

Old Master Lu took out a unique ball from his luggage bag. There were several bells on the ball. Even Xiao Nuomi and Lian Lian looked at the ball blankly, longing shining in their eyes.

No child would dislike colorful toys; if there were, it must be that the toy wasn't pretty.

In a child's eyes, how much attraction does a colorful ball have?

"Iya ya."

"Aba aba."

Both sisters reached out to grab it at the same time, snatching!

Xiao Mantou was the closest; seeing this, he snatched the ball into his arms without hesitation and smiled at his great-grandfather...

Forget it, forget it; he's a child and won't hold it against an old man; let's just leave it at that... ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
