Chapter 165 Why did you bring a monkey with you?
"Since you have decided to join that plan, you must be careful in everything. After all, this matter involves many people and many interests. Maybe something big will happen." Lu Xiangyi's father warned his daughter.
“I know.” Lu Siying said with a smile.
“Your mother was still talking about you just now. Go and talk to her.”
“Okay.” After Lu Siying left, only the father and son were left in the room.
“Has your friend taken red pills?”
"No, he will take another path." Lu Xiangyi poured a cup of tea for his father.
"Another way, what way?" His father was slightly startled when he heard this.
“Rely on your own, without any pills.”
Lu Xiangyi’s father had a look of surprise on his face after hearing this.
“Amazing!” he praised after a moment. "Do you think he can succeed?"
"I believe he can succeed, and I even hope he can succeed." Lu Xiangyi said.
“Well, would you like to invite him to your home if you have time?”
Lu Xiangyi thought for a while and shook his head, "He will come back naturally if he wants to. I have been in contact with him several times these days, and I always feel that he is getting further and further away from me. He doesn't seem to care much about the things we care about." Go ahead and practice with all your heart.”
As time goes by, it’s almost the end of the year.
On this day, Wang An stood on the top of the cat's head and looked at the Anhe River in the distance.
“Xiao Hou, the New Year is almost here. Come down the mountain with me and go to my hometown to celebrate the New Year together?”
The monkey nodded happily after hearing this.
“Then it’s settled, I’ll go back to prepare and come back to pick you up in two days.”
Two days later, when it was dark, Wang An took the monkey down from the mountain, gave it a bath, made it clean, and put on new clothes.
In the yard, the little tabby cat stared at the new neighbor with doubts in its eyes. The monkey greeted it with a smile, and the kitten was so frightened that it ran away all of a sudden.
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
Wang An drove back to his hometown. The two old men were naturally very happy to see Wang An back, but their expressions changed when they saw the monkey and the cat.
It’s just a cat. He has brought it back before. What’s going on with this monkey? It’s still wearing a down jacket.
“Xiao An, tell me what’s going on with this monkey?” The old man pointed at the monkey.
"Oh, I met it on the mountain. It looked like it was all alone and I brought it back. Even though it is a monkey, it is as smart as a human except that it cannot speak. Xiaohou, this is my grandma, and this is my grandpa. ." Wang An introduced the two old men to the monkey.
The monkey hurriedly bowed to the two old men and greeted them.
“Yo, you can really understand people’s words.” Wang An’s grandfather said happily when he saw this, but was glared at by his wife beside him.
“Where is your girlfriend?”
“Grandma, I have been doing research these days and I really don’t have time.”
“Do research, study what, study monkeys?” The old man was unhappy.
“No, grandma, I have actually considered preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.”
"What are you doing to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Are you using this excuse to deceive me?" The old man was unreasonable.
Wang An stood there obediently and was being scolded. The monkey and the little cat beside him also stayed obediently, looking at the old man with their eyes. The monkey's eyes are more alert.
"Wow, Master is so awesome. This old man trains Master like a grandson. How awesome is this old man? Master doesn't even dare to breathe. How awesome is this old man?!" This is the monkey at this time inner thoughts.
"Okay, now that the child has come all the way back, don't discipline him." The grandfather on the side helped to intercede.
“Yes, yes, I will find a girlfriend as soon as possible, I promise.”
“You! Put the things away and I’ll cook.” The old man reached out and tapped Wang An’s forehead twice.
“You have a rest and have a taste of my craftsmanship.” Wang An said with a smile.
Wang An hurriedly helped the old man into the house, carried the luggage and gifts into the house, and then went to the kitchen to get busy. The monkey followed and helped, and the little cat followed to see if there was anything delicious.
It didn’t take long for Wang An to prepare a table of dishes.
There were three people, a monkey and a cat. The old man had a drink as usual, and Wang An poured himself a drink.
“Want some?” He looked at the monkey who was staring at the wine bottle, and the monkey nodded.
Wang An smiled and poured him a glass. The monkey took a sip when he picked it up, hissing, squeaking, opening his mouth, sticking out his tongue, and scratching his ears and cheeks.
Hahahaha, the two old men on the side burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Although he was choked heavily by the wine, the monkey still drank two glasses of wine. After two glasses of wine, he walked unsteadily and felt dizzy. He also performed a drunken monkey fist in the yard.
After eating, washing the dishes, and tidying up the kitchen, Wang An chatted with the two old men for a while, then went back to the house to take a nap, and then started cleaning the house in the afternoon, tidying up both the inside and outside of the roof.
The monkey also helped, holding brooms, handing rags, and sweeping the garbage. Even though he was still a little unsteady when walking, the little cat was making trouble on the side.
“Don’t tell me, this monkey really looks like a human being!” The two old men exclaimed upon seeing this.
After a busy afternoon, the house looks brand new both inside and outside.
The next day, Wang An went to a nearby county to purchase new year goods. When he came back in the afternoon, he took the monkey up the mountain. The monkey was obviously much happier after entering the forest. It could be seen that it preferred life in the wild and was closer to nature.
Although he returned to his hometown, he could not let go of his spiritual practice. He went to the mountains, found a few rocks, and continued to exercise, just like when he was on the cat's peak.
In this cold winter, no one in the village comes to the mountains, so it is quiet. Wang An can practice with peace of mind.
In addition to these strength training, he also practices Tai Chi three to five times, or seven or eight times, and Vajra Palm more than ten times every day.
Although it is impossible to increase experience immediately, it is actually accumulated. Practice makes perfect, and every drop of water will make a difference.
Just like this, the days passed day by day, and as the new year approached, someone came specially to wish the two old people a good year. The first person to arrive was Chen Xianglong from the village. Since Wang An rescued his son last time, he often came to visit the two old people. Judging from his glowing face, it was obvious that he was living a prosperous life.
The second person to come was Li Xinzhu, who came from Hu'an hundreds of miles away and brought many gifts.
“Come on, why are you bringing so many gifts?”
“Hey, it’s almost Chinese New Year, so I bought it for two old people, and it didn’t cost much.” Li Xinzhu said with a smile, looking quite wealthy.
“Don’t leave at noon, stay for a light meal.”
Li Xinzhu didn't leave at noon and tasted Wang An's cooking skills.
“Well, your cooking skills are not bad.” Li Xinzhu admired, and he raised his glass to toast the old man. "Grandpa, here's a toast to you. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
“Okay, okay!” the old man said with a cheerful smile.
Old people like to be more lively as they get older. Wang An also drank two drinks with him. Li Xinzhu's face was red when he left. He didn't drive here by himself, he had a driver to drive him, and he looked like a boss.
Another day, the sky was a little gloomy, with scattered snowflakes floating in the sky. A vehicle with a foreign license plate came to the mountain village. There were two people in the car, a man and a woman.
“What are you doing here with me?”
“Just to relax, I’m also curious, which friend is worthy of your traveling all the way here to visit?”
“Stop talking later.”
"knew."
The car door opened, and Lu Xiangyi and Lu Siying entered Grandma Wang An's home together. The old man who heard the commotion came out of the house and was stunned when he saw Lu Siying.
“Oh, this girl is so handsome! It would be great if Xiao An also had a girlfriend like this!”
“Hello, grandma, I am Wang An’s friend and I came here to see you.”
"Come on, come and sit in the house." The old man enthusiastically invited Lu Xiangyi and Lu Siying into the house, and then poured water for them.
“Don’t be too busy. Are you in good health?”
“I’ll call Wang An and ask him to come back.”
"No need, we'll sit for a while and then leave." Lu Xiangyi said hurriedly.
“Your wife is so beautiful!” the old man said with a smile.
“Uh, this is my sister.” Lu Xiangyi said hurriedly.
“Sister? How old is the girl this year?”
“Twenty-three.” Lu Siying said with a smile.
“Twenty-three, that’s the year of the horse, right?”
“Yes.” Lu Siying nodded.
“Just right!” Lu Siying was stunned by the old man’s words.
“Drink tea.”
“Hey, thank you.”
“It’s almost noon, and Wang An will be back soon. Why don’t you stay and have a meal together?”
“No more trouble.”
“No trouble, you come all the way.”
As they were talking, the sound of the door opening came from outside, and Wang An took Xiao Hou into the courtyard. The people inside heard the sound and came out.
Wang An was not surprised at all when he saw Lu Xiangyi. He had already seen the car outside. But when he saw Lu Siying coming with him, he was slightly startled.
“Why did you bring a woman with you?”
Lu Xiangyi was also startled when he saw the monkey next to Wang An.
“Monkey, why are you still wearing a down jacket? Wait a minute, this can’t be the monkey that ran away from the Dongming Group’s research institute, right?”
"Why are you back? Xiao Lu has been here for a while. You are here to chat with your friends while I go cook."
"Cooking? You rest, I'll do it." Wang An turned around and went to the kitchen next to him. The monkey followed him and the old man followed him.
“Grandma, I’ll just come here and you can rest.”
"Let me tell you something. Did you see the girl who came with your friend? She is so beautiful. She is Lu Xiangyi's sister. She is born in the year of the Horse and is married to you!"
“What?” Wang An was stunned after hearing this.
"What? That girl looks good to me, pretty, and has a happy face. She is definitely a good wife."
"no."
Wang An heard the footsteps and looked at the kitchen door that was not closed. He raised his hand and slapped a palm from a meter away. With a clang, the door suddenly closed. This scene happened to be seen by Lu Xiangyi who was walking over.
Holding the grass, he was stunned.
“He just waved his palm in the air and didn’t touch the door, right?”
“Well, grandma, I won’t disturb you anymore, we won’t be here to eat.” Lu Xiangyi opened the door and said with a smile.
"How can that be done? Didn't I just agree that we must eat at home at noon?" the old man insisted.
“Then, just make a few simple dishes.”
“Hey, you go sit down and drink tea. Xiao An, you go too, I’ll leave it to you here.”
"I"
"hurry up!"
“I’ll cut these vegetables first!”
Wang An raised his hand and grabbed the knife in his hand. There was a jingling sound, and all he could see was the knife's light. The cooked meat was cut into slices, the raw meat was cut into strips, and the green peppers and potatoes were cut into shreds.
“Xiaohou makes a fire.”
When the monkey heard this, he held a lighter in one hand and hay in the other to make a fire. He was a skilled person. The old man used a wood-burning stove and was used to it over the years. Lu Xiangyi looked at the dexterous monkey with surprise on his face.
“Can this monkey understand human speech?”
"Well, it's very smart." Wang An said with a smile, "Let's go drink tea."
“I thought I just saw you waving your hand like this and the door was closed?”
"Yeah?"
Hmm, Lu Xiangyi nodded.
“How many hours did you drive?”
“First we took a flight from Jiankang to Hu’an, and then drove here from Hu’an. It took more than five hours, right?”
“Are you tired from driving?”
“It’s okay, wait, what happened just now”
“Perhaps you are too tired from driving and are hallucinating.”
"no."
The two people entered the house, and Lu Siying was talking to Wang An's grandfather. As soon as the two of them came in, the atmosphere instantly became a lot more awkward, and they didn't know what to talk about.
“Drink tea.”
"Thanks."
Wang An sat there, like an old monk in meditation.
Since you have nothing to say, then don't speak. You can't find something to say when you have nothing to say. How embarrassing would that be? !
“When will you go back after the Chinese New Year?” Lu Xiangyi broke the awkward atmosphere.
“After the first lunar month.”
After chatting for a while, Wang An went to the kitchen to help. His speed was much faster. Several dishes were quickly fried and served on the table one after another.
When the old man saw him driving, he didn't pour him a drink. Instead, he poured two glasses of juice for the two of them.
Wang An basically didn't talk much during the meal, but his grandma kept asking questions, which made Lu Siying very embarrassed.
After eating and sitting for a while, the two brothers and sister said goodbye and left.
The car started and drove away.
“How is it? Are you very enthusiastic?”
“Too enthusiastic, I feel.”
“The old man wants you to be his granddaughter-in-law, right?”
“Yeah!” Lu Siying nodded.
“Stop being so pretty, you think I won’t be willing to do it.” Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.
"Lu Xiangyi, what do you mean? What's wrong with me? The people chasing me back then could line up from the dormitory building to the entrance of the university. That friend of yours is just more pleasing to the eye. Other than that, I don't see anything special. , not my type."
“Yo, what kind do you like?”
“Gentle and elegant, well-educated, well-educated, mature and steady”
“Wait a minute, you must have fallen in love with Professor Sun, right? I’m telling you, that’s not possible. He has a family, and the age he said is two years older than our dad!”
“Lu Xiangyi, why do you have such a bad mouth!? Tell me, what is so special about this friend of yours?”
“He is gentle, well-educated, well-educated, mature and steady.”
“Lu Xiangyi, believe it or not, I will strangle you to death!”
