Chapter 318
As time went by, the relationship between them became more and more familiar. Not only did they often get together here to chat and talk, but they would occasionally visit each other when they were in the mood.
Although the Zhao family's house is decorated magnificently, their children have all started their own families and are doing business outside, so they can only come home to visit very rarely throughout the year.
Therefore, everyone has never witnessed the warm scene of their family gathering together. At most, a grandchild would occasionally come to accompany Old Zhao.
When Lao Qian said this, a voice immediately chimed in: "Hey, Lao Qian, how can you talk like that?"
The old man who spoke first was the oldest and most experienced, Old Yu. He keenly noticed that Old Zhao's face had turned a little ugly, so he hurried out to smooth things over.
"Old Yu, you can never make enough money, but the filial piety and companionship of the children are priceless and the most precious. Oh, my memory is so bad that I almost forgot the time. I have to go pick up my grandson from school. You guys continue chatting, and remember to come to my house tomorrow. The good wine I brewed is ready to drink."
After saying that, Lao Qian hurriedly bowed, then turned around and left quickly.
At this time, only Lao Yu and Lao Zhao were still sitting quietly on the old wooden chair, and they slowly tasted the fine wine that Lao Zhao brought over. After a while, Lao Yu suddenly sighed.
"Look at this old Qian. He really loves his little grandson. But then again, that family really spoils the child too much. If they continue like this, I'm afraid they will have a headache when the child grows up."
You know, Old Yu is already a man in his eighties. Over the years, he has never witnessed a situation like the current one - a child as young as ten years old needs adults to pick him up from school every day.
"Hey, his family has been a single-son family for three generations. He is the only child, so he must be cherished and loved."
As Old Zhao spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it lightly with Old Yu's.
It turned out that Old Qian had three daughters and one son. Old Qian's son had been looking forward to having a son. After giving birth to five daughters in succession, he finally got this precious son, and he treated him like the apple of his eye.
"We are all this age, but some people just can't see clearly. If his son didn't have a few sisters to help and take care of him, his life in the future would probably be very different. After all, Master Qin is right. There is no difference between men and women. Nowadays, many girls are much more outstanding and powerful than boys."
As soon as Lao Yu finished speaking, he took a sip of wine. The spicy feeling spread in his mouth instantly, stimulating him to open his mouth involuntarily. "Ah! Comfortable!" Then, he picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Although he is over 80 years old, after getting a set of dentures in the past two years, he can enjoy any delicious food and eat it with gusto.
Lao Zhao has always believed that those unruly behaviors are very low class, but now, he has resolutely given up his own wealth and completely integrated into the ranks of ordinary people.
I saw him sitting leisurely at the table, taking a sip of the mellow wine, and then slowly picking up a crispy and delicious peanut and putting it into his mouth to chew. He looked so comfortable!
However, at this moment, there was a crisp "click" sound, and Lao Zhao's originally relaxed expression froze instantly, and then his face turned pale. Oh no! It turned out that the tooth that had been loose for a long time had fallen out at this time!
Seeing this, Old Yu at the side could not help but burst into laughter: "Haha... Look at you, your teeth are all knocked out! Spit it out quickly, and remember to rinse your mouth well. Don't drink this wine, you'd better go see a dentist as soon as possible. If the situation is not optimistic, just get a full set of dentures like me!"
After saying that, Lao Yu put away the wine bottle on the table with a smile, then contentedly picked up a big bite of the delicious pork head and put it into his mouth and started to enjoy it.
Qi Le, who was not far away, was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the First Emperor. When he saw the First Emperor approaching, he quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you feel uncomfortable and want to vomit, you may vomit in my hands."
Unfortunately, the First Emperor ignored his good intentions and walked away in a hurry with a blank expression. Seeing this, Qi Le did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly ordered his men to find a dentist as soon as possible.
Nowadays, all walks of life in society are divided very finely and clearly, but the affairs of the First Emperor still alarmed many imperial physicians, and Fusu also came when he heard about it.
After a detailed physical examination of the First Emperor, a group of imperial doctors discovered with serious expressions that the First Emperor had lost two teeth, and the condition of his remaining teeth was also worrying.
If it were an ordinary person, the doctors would have suggested that he remove all the diseased teeth without hesitation. But in front of the extremely noble Emperor, they were as silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything.
Just as everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Xu Tuo, who was clever and intelligent, quietly approached Fusu and mentioned the dentures to him in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Fusu nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew. Then, he took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and walked towards the First Emperor.
The First Emperor's expression was calm at first, but when he saw Fusu approaching, his face suddenly became stern, and then he snorted heavily from his nose. Fusu was surprised to see this, and didn't understand why. After standing still, Fusu said slowly: "Father, I heard that there is a thing called 'false teeth' nowadays, which is quite practical..." Before he finished speaking, the First Emperor waved his hand and interrupted him decisively: "I don't need this thing!"
When Fusu heard this, he felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy hammer. His breath was stuck in his throat, unable to flow up or down. Over the years, he knew that his father hated others to mention the word "aging", even if it was just a slight hint.
Nowadays, even a problem like tooth loss, which seriously affects eating, has become a taboo, which really makes Fusu feel helpless and depressed.
He had no choice but to keep silent and just remind her to prepare some soft and easy-to-chew food for him.
When the First Emperor saw the pile of things being served, his temper flared up.
"Fusu, you unfilial thing, I am not old enough to drink porridge yet!"
