Grocery Store No.514 - Chapter 167

    Everyone introduced themselves one by one, Hua Mian’s generation gave them a greeting, and the juniors opened a special table and took their seats one after another. Everyone’s eyes fell on Ling Hua’an. Although they were members of the Xuanmen, they had each practiced spells, but they all had their own occupations, and no one really specialized in this. The Duling people have a job on the surface, but secretly they still make a living from Duling, and they have much more contact with ghosts.

    Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on Ling Huaan, especially the goddess she liked was chatting happily with Ling Huaan, Chen Chen felt a little irritable, looked at Ling Huaan, and asked, “I heard you The surname is Ling, not Hua, is there such a thing?”

    Chen Chen’s question was too sharp, which made the scene quiet. Mao Junya frowned and said disapprovingly, “Chen Chen, if you can’t speak, just drink tea, no one will force you.”

    Seeing the goddess speaking to Ling Huaan, Chen Chen felt even more irritated, and said, “Yaya, I’m just a little strange. If he minds, he doesn’t need to answer. A big man doesn’t need to be so shrewd.”

    Ling Huaan smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. My surname is Ling because I follow my mother’s nature. My parents and grandpa had some misunderstandings before, but now it has been solved, and there is nothing that can’t be said.”

    “It’s good to clear up the misunderstanding.” Ling Hua’an’s gentleness contrasted sharply with Chen Chen’s sharpness, which made everyone seated more favorably towards Ling Huaan.

    Seeing this, Chen Chen was even more unconvinced, and said, “It turns out that it is like this, being a blind man for more than 20 years, it is really hard, how do you usually eat? Not to mention cooking, can you get the dishes? There are also clothes, I am afraid that even if they are dirty, I don’t know where to wash them. It’s really pitiful.”

    Mao Junya frowned more and more, and said dissatisfiedly: “Chen Chen, I usually see you have a good character, but I didn’t expect you to be so mean, and apologize immediately!”

    Chen Chen subconsciously glanced at the main table, the two tables were not too close, and what they said, as long as it was not too loud, could not be heard clearly in this noisy environment.

    “I’m just telling the truth, is it wrong for you to protect me like this? It’s so naive to look for a parent! Hua Qing, I really doubt whether you are an adult.” Chen Chen pouted, Mao Jun The more Ya protected Ling Huaan, the more he disliked Ling Huaan.

    Ma Liangchen, who was sitting next to Mao Junya, looked at Chen Chen with a warning, and said, “The four of us share the same spirit. This is the rule left by our ancestors from generation to generation. Chen Chen, pay attention to what you say.”

    Chen Chen is not stupid. Seeing the dissatisfaction in the eyes of everyone looking at him, he suppressed the irritability in his heart and said, “Brother Liangchen, I have no ill intentions, I just speak straight, I believe Mr. Ling will not mind. Bar.”

    Ling Huaan had never seen anyone before, he didn’t pay attention to such little tricks, but he had no plans to endure it, and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t mind, I hate to be straight ‘ People who make excuses and hurt others.”

    “You…” Ling Huaan’s answer was beyond Chen Chen’s expectations.

    “Actually, sometimes I’m very fortunate that I can’t see, especially when I’m with people I hate. It’s just like the saying ‘out of sight, out of mind’.”

    There were smiles in the eyes of everyone. Because Chen Chen was their acquaintance, they were embarrassed to laugh, but Chen Chen could see clearly and said angrily, “Ling Huaan, who are you talking about?”

    “What’s wrong with the person I hate? Why is Mr. Chen so excited?” Ling Huaan’s tone was always light, which was completely different from Chen Chen’s emotional expression.

      , I can’t change it again.” Chen Chen was so angry that he could no longer speak.

    “Presumptuous! Chen Chen, how can you talk like a bastard!”

    The voice was full of anger, which startled Chen Chen. He turned around guilty and looked at Chen Ligang behind him. The arrogance just now disappeared instantly, and he stood up obediently and shouted: ” grandfather.”

    “You can’t speak your mind? What kind of occasion is this, that’s what your dad taught you?” Chen Chen’s words just now went too far. Anyone who listened to them felt uncomfortable, let alone to Ling Hua An has a guilty Hua Ting, and Chen Ligang knows that he must be the bottom of the pot without looking at his face.

    “I’m sorry, Grandpa.” After Chen Ligang said this, Chen Chen also calmed down. Thinking about what he just said, he didn’t dare to look at Hua Ting’s face.

    “Should you apologize to me? You bastard, go and apologize to Hua An.”

    Although Chen Chen knew that he was at fault first, he was a young man after all, and it was when his face was bigger than his life that he felt ashamed when he was reprimanded in front of everyone. Owing to the awe of his elders, he clenched his fists tightly, walked up to Ling Huaan, and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t think much about what I said just now.”

    Not waiting for Ling Huaan to respond, Chen Chen turned and left without looking back. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Chen Chen was obviously not convinced.

    “Chen Chen!” Chen Ligang called out to stop him, but Chen Chen ignored it. Chen Ligang was annoyed, turned his head to look at Chen Ming, and said, “Chen Ming, that’s how you usually discipline him?”

    Chen Ming quickly explained: “Dad, I’m sorry, Chen Chen doesn’t usually do this, and I don’t know what happened today? I’ll teach him a lesson.”

    “Yes, Dad.” Chen Ming lowered his head, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.

    Chen Ligang snorted, turned to look at Huating, and said, “Lao Huatou, don’t be angry, the little bunny is ignorant, I will teach him a good lesson when I go back.”

    Although Hua Ting’s face was still ugly, he didn’t hold on to it. After all, Chen Ligang had done well. Hua Ting smiled, glanced at everyone, and said, “I am ashamed of Hua An over the years, and let one of his children become a Duling person for a living. I will compensate him well in the future, and I plan to let him come to the next head of the house. Do.”

    Hua Ting looked at Hua Mian and said, “A Mian, do you have any opinion on this decision?”

    Hua Mian shook his head and said, “Dad, you know, I’m not interested in this, if it wasn’t for the eldest brother who went early and the third brother didn’t come back, I wouldn’t be acting as the head of the family. With Hua An here, I can also take off the heavy responsibilities.”

    “Grandpa, about the family head, you should reconsider the candidates.” Ling Huaan had to speak out to stop Hua Ting’s next words, saying: “Although Chen Chen speaks sharply, he is right. , I have been living outside for these years, I don’t know much about the Hua family, plus I’m blind, it’s inconvenient to deal with many things, and I’m also lazy, I’m used to the current life.”

    “Huaan…”

    “Grandpa, you know, I’m telling the truth.” Although Ling Huaan doesn’t care what others think of his sexuality, he is also worried that the Hua family will be criticized. He never thought about it. After leaving Jiang Chengyan, he never thought about being the head of the Hua family.

    Having been together for so long, Hu Ting can naturally hear the potential meaning of Ling Hua’an’s words. Although he thought about it, in order to survive in this society, he has to consider more.

    “Then we’ll talk about this later. A Mian, you have to worry more at home.”

    “Dad, this is what I should do.”

    Without the troublemakers, the scene regained harmony again, and meals began to be served one after another. Everyone was eating and chatting, and the time passed quickly. Especially on the young people’s side, they chatted wildly until midnight, and there was still some unfinished business.

    In front of the hotel, Hua Ting, who had been drinking, was a little drunk and said, “This time Hao Man is making waves in Huacheng. Although he has experienced some twists and turns, it has calmed down temporarily. It’s not a waste of time, at least it gives us old guys a reason to get together again.”

      With some blush.

    Chen Ligang sighed and said, “Old Huatou, your old boy recognized a good grandson, and the old monster who has lived for hundreds of years was injured by him. I am really envious!”

    Hua Ting and Yourongyan, with a smug look on their faces, said with a smile, “Old Chentou finally said something human this night.”

    “Oh, I compliment you, you are still panting, be careful not to sway your waist.”

    Ma Huaisheng smiled and said, “We are all so old, and there will be fewer days in the future. If we can get together more, we should get together more.”

    “In that case, we’ll make sure that we will get together today every year. This year we will be in Huacheng, next year we will go to Ancheng, and go to the old Chentou’s house to harm the scourge.” Hu Ting made up his mind in a few sentences. .

    Chen Ligang nodded hurriedly and said, “Okay, I can’t ask for it! To be honest, I really can’t talk to those young people. It’s better for you to harm me every day.”

    “Although Hao Man is seriously injured, I don’t know when he will make waves. It is better for each of us to leave a junior in Huacheng and let him assist Huaan. It is also a kind of experience, you see How?” Ma Huaisheng suggested.

    “I think so.” Mao Xiaoqing was the first to agree.

    “I agree too.” Chen Ligang also agreed.

    Hua Ting looked at Ling Huaan, asked for his opinion, and said, “Huaan, what do you think?”

    Ling Huaan thought about it and said, “Let’s keep one and see who wants to stay. The time is set for half a year, and the replacement will be done after half a year.” Chen Ligang frowned slightly and said: ” Wouldn’t there be too few of those bastards, who have nothing to do every day, and maybe they’ve forgotten their skills long ago, so let them stay and practice with you more, I think it’s better than anything else.”

    “Co-author with your old head Chen has ulterior motives, and use my grandson as a tool man. Yes, one is only one, and it will be rotated every six months.” Hu Ting made a decision.

    Hua Qing said anxiously, “Grandpa, let me go first, and I will go through the transfer procedures tomorrow.”

    “You are a university, so you can transfer if you transfer? Let me go first, freelance, anywhere.” Ma Liangchen smiled at Ling Huaan.

    “I can do it too, I will graduate soon, just take some time to write a graduation thesis.” Mao Junya also fought for it.

    Hua Ting looked at the three and said, “It’s a good time, he is the most suitable candidate at present.”
