Chapter 59: Is this some kind of secret between men?
The furniture inside and outside the house was all settled, and the stove, pots, bowls, and chopsticks in the kitchen were also settled.
Next was the construction of the shower room and the digging of the sewage pipes.
To let his wife move into the house sooner and live comfortably, Jiang Ye pulled his brother-in-law to work through the night, digging the foundation and the sewage pipe installation outlet.
The two dug until dawn and basically finished the work.
Lu Xiu Bai's fingers were trembling from exhaustion. Was this his brother-in-law?
This was clearly an enemy who treated him like a mule!
Jiang Ye used the strength of his soles and quickly jumped out of the pit.
Relying on his excellent night vision, he felt his brother-in-law's deep resentment and thought he couldn't go too far, so he comforted him:
"When you marry Doctor Pei, I'll help you dig a pit too."
Lu Xiu Bai didn't think too much and responded casually, "That's more like it."
Wait.
A pit?
This sounded so ambiguous!
"Jiang—"
"Alright, it's getting late. Hurry up and come out, wash your face, go back to the dormitory to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the train station to pick up Grandpa."
Jiang Ye anticipated his brother-in-law's reaction and shifted his attention in time.
Lu Xiu Bai kicked the dirt pit to vent his anger and suddenly kicked something hard. It hurt him to death!
"Ouch."
"What's wrong?"
"Throw me a flashlight; I kicked something."
Sometimes, Lu Xiu Bai himself had to marvel at his own luck.
Good luck was accompanied by bad luck, and bad luck was accompanied by good luck.
With that kick, he kicked out a stone the size of a fist.
He casually threw the stone to Jiang Ye and said angrily:
"Look, your stones have become spirits!"
"Mm?"
Jiang Ye grabbed it casually, looked at the fist-sized stone in the night, then crushed it, scattering the cracked shell and revealing a crystal-clear jade core the size of a fingernail.
Lu Xiu Bai climbed out of the pit, saw his brother-in-law crush a fist-sized stone with his bare hands, and his eyes widened, howling excitedly—
"Jiang Ye, good brother-in-law, how did you do that? Teach me, how do you crush a stone?"
Jiang Ye picked up the tiny jade and asked back in a good mood:
"Want to learn?"
"Yes!"
Lu Xiu Bai answered decisively. If he could learn this trick, wouldn't he have a skill to show off in the future!
"First find a stone, then hold it every day, trying to pour all your strength into your palm. After practicing for a long time, it forms qigong, and you can crush the stone."
Jiang Ye guided him patiently and gave a demonstration.
It wasn't that he was hiding his secrets and didn't want to teach him, but this was a child's skill that required starting from childhood, at least eighteen years, for internal strength to be achieved.
Obviously, it was too late for his brother-in-law to learn now, but he had already broken his cultivation, so it was useless anyway.
Since it was a futile effort, why teach it so profoundly.
"Fine, then I'll try."
Lu Xiu Bai listened seriously and had a very serious attitude toward learning.
From then on, he always held a stone in his hand. No one dared to ask why, for fear that this guy would throw the stone at someone if they disagreed.
"Chug—chug—chug—"
Having traveled for days and nights, Old Master Lu, whose bones were soft from sitting, finally arrived in Haibin City.
The scene outside the window was a bit desolate, but in the distance, one could vaguely see people working in the fields and buildings with the Five-Star Red Flag...
Dawn sprinkled on all things, and everywhere was full of vitality, and one could foresee the booming vitality of the future.
"Respected passengers, the Haibin City train station is about to arrive. Please carry your personal belongings, and after the vehicle stops, get off in an orderly manner..."
The train attendant held a large loudspeaker, stopping to remind passengers carriage by carriage.
At the same time, two railway police officers wearing public security uniforms came to knock on the door of Old Master Lu's carriage—
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
"Old Master Lu, we are here to help you move your luggage."
"Ah, thank you. I've packed everything. It's just these, mainly the wine in the box, which is in glass bottles. Please handle with care~"
"Received!"
Old Master Lu nodded slightly, sitting upright, holding his crutch. He was about to see his grandson and his grandson-in-law; his heart was excited!
He didn't object to his granddaughter finding a partner so quickly.
In this era, there were plenty of blind marriages, arranged marriages, and people who got engaged and married after one meeting.
He and his old woman were childhood sweethearts who grew up playing in the mud at the door.
Feelings, after all, can be cultivated over time.
They can also be love at first sight, or marriage first and love later.
In this era, very few couples divorce.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his own stupid son!
If it weren't for his son's soft heart and lack of firm will, his daughter-in-law wouldn't have divorced, and his granddaughter wouldn't have left the Capital with her mother for fifteen years!
Forget it, forget it, a troublesome thing, not worth mentioning.
He couldn't wait to see his grandson who hadn't returned home for many years, and to see what his granddaughter's chosen grandson-in-law looked like and what his temperament was...
At the same time, the brother and sister who had set off early, taken the passenger ship, and arrived at the Haibin City train station, along with the newly promoted husband—
Jiang Ye.
The three of them had arrived at the station platform half an hour early, waiting for Grandpa's arrival.
Relying on their outstanding appearances, gazes kept being cast at the three of them.
From beginning to end, Jiang Ye's hand was holding his wife's hand without any avoidance.
The atmosphere between the two was clearly that of newlyweds in deep love.
As for the tall soldier next to them, his appearance wasn't bad, quite handsome, but was his brain not working right?
For no good reason, he was playing with a stone in his hand. What was he doing?
Throwing it at someone or?
"Brother, why are you holding a stone?"
Shen Man was also very curious. Ever since she met up with her brother, she had been wanting to ask.
Lu Xiu Bai looked at his brother-in-law subconsciously, then changed his words in time:
"Squeezing—it's just practicing wrist strength. Yes, that's it."
Brother-in-law said that this unique skill could only be passed to him. What if his sister was interested and hurt her hand?
"Oh? Is that so?"
Shen Man's suspicious gaze wandered between the two.
Is this some kind of secret between men?
Or, was this one bullying her simple brother again?
"Chug—chug—chug—"
At the same time, the sound of the steam train in the distance approached from far to near, and a green dragon gradually drove over...
"Grandpa's train is here. Hurry, let's find a high platform to wait. Based on my understanding of Grandpa, he will definitely be the last one to get off."
"Why?"
"Because that looks very stylish."
"Ah?"
This was the first time Shen Man heard this adjective appear in this era, and she couldn't help but be a bit stunned.
Lu Xiu Bai hurriedly tucked the stone into his pants pocket and popularized it for his sister in a good mood:
"Stylish, it means imposing. Capital dialect."
"I see."
Shen Man nodded, indicating she understood.
Stylish.
Grandpa, this cute little old man, his temperament and character, isn't that just stylish? ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
