Chapter 61: Could it be that Brother has amnesia?

~8 min read 1,464 words

"Grandpa, I have a fiancée, how come I don't know?"

Lu Xiu Bai was secretly delighted. After feeling lucky, he felt aggrieved and wanted to "hold him accountable."

He really didn't know!

Grandpa hadn't told him!

"Because when you were turning ten, they came to the house for dinner, but you had a loose mouth and called her a tomboy. She kicked you into the sewer, and then you hit your head on a stone..."

Old Master Lu shook his head and told the story.

Lu Xiu Bai was confused. He didn't remember this.

Shen Man saw her brother's confused reaction. That blank look didn't seem fake, so she thought of a possibility and asked Grandpa:

"Grandpa, could it be that Brother has amnesia?"

"Mm, you had a concussion, and Old Pei adjusted it for your brother for three days.

After your brother woke up, he lost some memories. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't pursue it.

Who told your brother to have a loose mouth first and tease a well-behaved girl as a tomboy."

After Old Master Lu finished speaking, he realized later that Pei girl hadn't mentioned their arranged marriage?

"Grandpa, you really are my own grandpa. Such a big thing, and you didn't tell me in advance!"

Lu Xiu Bai scratched his head. There was a scar on the back of his head; it turned out that's how it came to be.

"Has that Pei girl not looked for you in these two years?"

Would Old Master Lu feel guilty?

Not at all.

He was old, wasn't it normal that his brain couldn't remember things?

"..."

One sentence left Lu Xiu Bai speechless.

His face changed again and again, and he sat upright silently, not saying a word.

He couldn't tell Grandpa that not only had she looked for him, but she had even molested his grandson!

"Brother, I think you and Sister Yan Ting have some misunderstandings. After we return to the Military Region, you should go to the Military Region Hospital first and explain things clearly to Sister Yan Ting."

Shen Man sighed. Such a good fate almost went down the drain.

It was hard to continue the fate, but it was stalled again because of some misunderstandings.

Brother really needed to learn to use his mouth.

Stubborn mouth, why couldn't he be like Brother Jiang Ye and say some nice things for Sister Yan Ting to hear?

If he didn't know how to coax people, he should ask Brother Jiang Ye for advice.

Her man was very good at coaxing girls to be happy.

The two had even slept in the same dormitory for several years; how come her brother hadn't learned half of the skill of coaxing girls?

Lu Xiu Bai didn't speak, feeling the disdainful gazes from all directions, and rubbed his hands nervously.

Fine, fine, he would listen to his sister's suggestion and go find Pei Yan Ting to talk it over properly!

After the serious business was finished, the car fell silent.

Jiang Ye was driving and couldn't be distracted.

Shen Man saw that her brother was preoccupied, knowing he was drafting a plan for how to explain it to Sister Yan Ting, so she skipped him.

"Grandpa, how did you handle the wine I brewed for you?"

Considering that there was Spiritual Liquid in the wine, she was more concerned about this issue.

"I brought all ten catties in glass bottles in the box, and I hid that biggest jar under my bed.

I only gave Xiao Li one key to the room; no one else can think of getting in.

I also let Xiao Li go twice a month to check it."

Old Master Lu was triumphant, with a look of seeking praise.

"Grandpa is great!"

Shen Man cooperated very well in praising Grandpa, thinking that people say the older people get, the more they act like old children; wasn't the Grandpa in front of her just like that?

"Wine? Sister, you can brew wine too?"

Lu Xiu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately joined the conversation.

Military discipline was strict; drinking and drunkenness were taboos!

Occasionally, during a break or a happy event, one could taste a sip, paired with a cigarette, and live happily like an immortal.

"Yes, when we were in our old home in Suzhou, the neighbor aunt and Mom would brew some fruit wine with different flavors in different seasons.

This grape can be used to brew wine; the wine color is purple, drink it in a glass, the alcohol content isn't high, it has a faint wine fragrance, and the freshness of grapes..."

Talking about the skills she knew, Shen Man talked eloquently and was very willing to share.

As for acupuncture, moxibustion, and processing medicinal herbs, she felt she hadn't learned them well enough, so she wouldn't embarrass herself.

Under the girl's gentle, quiet, and soft-spoken explanation, the other three men in the car listened with great interest.

Jiang Ye didn't know his wife could brew wine, and a feeling of pride called love rose in his heart.

Look, his wife is great; she can even brew wine!

He knew another skill of his wife and unlocked another surprise!

He didn't know how many more surprises his wife had waiting for him to discover, and the love in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Next, before boarding the passenger ship, Jiang Ye stole a glance at his wife several times through the rearview mirror without a trace...

Naturally, none of this could escape Old Master Lu's sharp eyes.

It seemed that his grandson-in-law liked his granddaughter from the bottom of his heart.

His granddaughter's look at the other party was also full of unstoppable love.

It's quite good. It seems that a marriage of a thousand miles is tied by a thread, and letting his granddaughter come to the Sea Island to rely on her own brother was really the right move!

It's just that his grandson really made him worry; he still didn't have a clear answer with that Pei girl...

"Woo—woo—woo—"

The front of the passenger ship rolled up waves, like a sharp knife cutting through the calm sea.

The supply trucks by the pier, the pedestrians carrying burdens and rushing, outlined a picture not seen in the Capital.

Old Master Lu hadn't been out of the Capital for decades. Recalling the last time he came to the seaside, the memories across time and space were like tides, making one feel like a lifetime had passed.

"Grandpa, let's queue up. After we get into the cabin and ride the ship for another hour, we'll be on the island..."

Shen Man considerately supported Grandpa's arm, carefully introducing things to Grandpa to dilute his strangeness to the new things he saw and heard now.

"I've long heard that the temperature on the Sea Island is suitable for all seasons, suitable for old bones like mine to retire. Now I feel a bit warm."

Old Master Lu listened to his granddaughter's explanation with relish, his eyes full of interest.

Going to the beach, fishing—it sounded like something to look forward to.

"Grandpa, take off your coat and give it to me; I'll carry it for you."

Lu Xiu Bai found an opportunity to perform and acted obediently in front of Grandpa.

An old man in the house is like a treasure.

He still had to rely on Grandpa to help him come up with a plan to help him coax his fiancée.

"Stinky boy

Lu Lao Zu sighed softly and looked at his granddaughter's husband, whose temperament was truly as bright and clear as the moon.

Then he looked at his own grandson, and wondered why he felt a sense of sneakiness and sleaziness?

"Grandpa, this must be from learning from my dad. I deserve a beating; I didn't learn the good, only the bad, and didn't learn a bit of your steadiness, brilliance, and martial prowess~"

Lu Xiu Bai's emotional intelligence came online briefly, and the words he spoke made people feel comfortable inside.

"That's right, that troublesome brat, your old man—"

Lu Lao Zu felt deeply that this was true; wasn't it exactly like that?

Fortunately, his granddaughter and grandson were clear about right and wrong; one had been personally taught by his daughter-in-law, growing up to be graceful, elegant, and intelligent...

As for the other, sigh, although his temperament was a bit flighty, his heart wasn't bad.

Forget it, forget it; he was his own grandson after all, and the bond between generations is strong.

If he didn't support his own grandson and granddaughter, how would he have the face to see his old wife in the afterlife, or see Shen Man's father and daughter...
