Chapter 190 The Grandfather and Grandson Praising Each Other
Reading Settings
As you know, my work at the Qishui brigade isn't too strenuous right now. Luckily, a friend brought me several large bags of tea leaves, so I sprayed them with a prepared herbal solution for a second treatment. And believe it or not, it actually worked! I've tried it, and it does have some therapeutic effect, though not immediately noticeable. But drinking it long-term is definitely good for your health.
Not only that, I also made some medicinal wine, which is even more effective than tea. Next time I come to the county town, I'll bring you a jar. You and your uncle Ping and cousin should drink a small cup every night; over time, it will be even better for their health.”
Yu Guosheng looked at the little girl in surprise. Seeing her proud and smug little face, he burst into a few hearty laughs, full of pride.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Niu Niu is indeed the smartest one in our family. Before, she was just pretending to be foolish. Let's see who dares to laugh at our family in the future. None of those good-for-nothing families in the compound can compare to my Niu Niu."
"That's right! Don't you know whose son I am? You should know that anyone you randomly pick from our family is a genius among geniuses."
"That's right, that's right!"
When Pingnan came over, he saw the grandfather and grandson flattering each other. The words they were saying made him blush, and he didn't really want to go over.
Sure enough, he said it himself. He's just a normal, ordinary person. Otherwise, why would he always feel out of place in this family?
"Grandpa, please keep your laughter down, or you'll catch a chill!" Pingnan walked over helplessly, even wanting to reach out and cover the old man's mouth, which was agape from laughing so hard.
"Cough cough!" Yu Guosheng quickly shut his mouth, glaring at his unfilial son with annoyance. He didn't understand the joys of life at all; no wonder he still couldn't find a wife.
"Didn't Xiao Liu ask you for help? Why are you here?" Ping Nan had taken the man to Director Liu of the county public security bureau last night. After learning about Ping Nan's previous identity, Director Liu unsurprisingly conscripted him.
“That person’s identity is indeed unusual. The county public security bureau is short-staffed right now. It seems that they have all gone to the city to join their newly appointed criminal investigation team leader. So Director Liu wants to ask me to help take someone to the Qianniu team, but my current identity is not appropriate. I can just follow them quietly later.”
Pingnan knew that their family's current status was sensitive, and originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. In the end, after arguing with Director Liu, who seemed upright but was actually very cunning, he finally agreed to secretly go with other police officers to help investigate.
Yu Guosheng nodded. He hadn't intended to stop him in the first place. He had never agreed to let Pingnan waste his time with him in the black market. His eldest son's abilities and talents shouldn't be wasted here. He had his own world to make his way in.
Perhaps this is an opportunity!
Bai Nuo listened quietly from the side. She never interfered in the affairs of her elders; she just listened obediently.
"Alright, I'm off then. I'll have Xiao Liu bring you lunch." After hearing the old man's instructions, Pingnan looked at Bai Nuo and said, "Be careful on your way back to the brigade this afternoon. I don't know if this will affect the other brigades. Don't wander around on your own when you're not busy. If anything happens, call the phone number I gave you, okay?"
"I know, Uncle Ping, don't worry. Please take care of yourself too."
"Okay!" Pingnan smiled, a rare occurrence, and gently patted the little girl's head with his large hand.
After Pingnan left, Bai Nuo stood up, stretched, and turned to look at the scrap metal recycling station behind her.
It seems she's never actually been inside a scrap metal recycling station; she just stands at the entrance, swipes her card, and runs away each time.
"Grandpa, I want to go inside and take a look. I've never been inside before!"
Yu Guosheng had no reason to disagree. He wasn't afraid even if his child tore the place apart. Anyway, An Yun would take care of things. He couldn't just be a secretary in the county government office for nothing. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. It's a bit messy inside. Be careful."
