Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1487 Grandpa Jiang Tasting Spirit Tea

This scene of wolfing down food wasn’t just playing out in the Ruan family, but also in the families of others like Jiang Duo, Lu Yunfeng, Yu Qun and Zhu Bocheng. Few of them could forget the taste of the spirit rice after eating it. The soft and extraordinarily fragrant spirit rice was especially popular among the older generation, even more so than the Nourishment Pills and spirit tea. For example, Zhu Bocheng’s grandparents, Lu Yunfeng’s grandfather, and even Grandpa Qi remembered the spirit rice in Chi Shuyan’s shop with longing.

Every time Chi Shuyan’s shop was restocked, it wasn’t just the younger generation, but the older generation, such as the Zhu grandparents and the Lu grandfather, who were just as enthusiastic. They had their grandsons frequently visit Chi Shuyan’s shop.

It was a pity that the stock Chi Shuyan put up for sale was limited, including the spirit rice. There were many people who fought for it, and very few who could obtain it. For example, Jiang Duo, who had been the fastest in the past and had never failed to obtain Nourishment Pills and spirit rice, couldn’t snatch the spirit rice this time. He just barely managed to grab a bottle of the Nourishment Pills. It could be seen that it was getting harder and harder to grab the spirit rice now. Fortunately, he managed to grab the new spirit tea that was put up for sale in Master Chi’s shop.

He could use this to just barely justify himself to his family.

It was almost noon in the Jiang residence. Seeing that Jiang Duo still hadn’t woken up, Father Jiang’s veins throbbed. Seeing that Father Jiang was about to flare up, Mother Jiang hurriedly spoke up for her son. “Don’t be angry. Have some tea first. Ah Duo must have been delayed by something, which is why he’s waking up so late!”

Without waiting for Father Jiang to speak, Grandpa Jiang hurriedly spoke up for his grandson. “Daughter-in-law is right. My grandson definitely isn’t sleeping in for no reason. Besides, it’s just sleeping in. What’s wrong with that?”

Father Jiang choked. If it were in the past, he would have rushed upstairs with a stick and beaten this kid ruthlessly, scolding him for being a hedonistic son who only knew how to play around and not do proper business.

But ever since this kid was lucky enough to buy a lot of good stuff for his family and indirectly save the old man’s life, and after Father Jiang’s health also improved thanks to the Nourishment Pill, his tolerance of his son’s behavior increased, and he indirectly discovered one of his son’s strengths – although his son didn’t do anything properly, it was true that he was really lucky. If luck could be considered a strength, this kid definitely had it.

Not only did this kid get to know that expert, he also bought the Nourishment Pill, which was so effective it could be considered a miracle medicine.

Thinking this, Father Jiang suppressed the ire in his heart, but he was still a little angry. In the end, he was a father who wanted his son to soar. He had indulged this kid too much recently, and his son either only played or slept every day. In addition, he gave him enough pocket money every month. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, Father Jiang would take the initiative to give the kid money even without him saying anything. This kid squandered money day and night, and only came back two or three days a week.

Father Jiang thought that he had good tolerance, but look at how this kid was as frivolous and mischievous as ever; he had actually only come home one day this week, and even slept in and told his family to wait for him for lunch. Father Jiang couldn’t help but want to lecture this brat again.

This kid hadn’t been disciplined recently. Who was the father and who was the son?

If this brat used Father Jiang’s indulgence as an excuse to eat, drink, and play… Father Jiang’s eyes spewed fire. He looked around and prepared to find a stick first.

Five minutes later, Jiang Duo, whose hair was a bird’s nest, slowly came downstairs in flip-flops. When he saw his father’s irate expression, Jiang Duo didn’t think much of it. When he saw the stick in his father’s hand, however, Jiang Duo was so scared that his scalp and butt turned numb. He hurriedly said, “Dad, Dad, don’t… don’t be rash… I have something to say!”

Father Jiang looked at the rascal’s messy hair and how he looked like he had yet to wake up after staying up all night. In addition, he was wearing tattered clothes with holes here and there; there were even two small holes on the back of his pants.

Mother Jiang had thought that this kid’s new pants were torn, and she had specially sewn the holes up with needle and thread. Who would have thought that this kid would immediately take out the stitches and even tell them that this was fashion? Now, his underwear was exposed through the holes, which was an eye-searing sight. The fire in Father Jiang’s heart burned even brighter.

Even Grandpa Jiang and Mother Jiang were a bit speechless when they saw this child wearing these strange clothes again. Jiang Duo was well aware of his father’s temper. Before Father Jiang could do anything, Jiang Duo hurriedly said to Grandpa, “Grandpa, I really didn’t sleep in on purpose. I suddenly saw a new product on sale in Master Chi’s shop yesterday, and I stayed up late especially to snatch it for you. I haven’t forgotten to check the Master’s shop every day, and fortunately, I was lucky. Not only did I snatch a bottle of Nourishment Pills for you, I also grabbed new spirit tea from the Master’s shop. Grandpa, I remember that you especially like tea. I’ll bring it over for you to try!”

Jiang Duo’s words were like pouring cold water into a pot of hot oil. Everyone in the Jiang family was jolted awake. The person who was the most excited and happy was Grandpa Jiang. For one thing, this child played every day, yet he didn’t forget him; he was so filial. For another, the more he tasted the good stuff from the shop, the more the old man understood that the things in this shop were priceless and beneficial. Not long after the Jiang family started taking the Nourishment Pill, their health improved a lot. The family went to the hospital for a checkup, and discovered that many of their major past ailments had disappeared.

It was rare for the old man to be so excited at his age. After listening to his grandson, he was so excited that he hurriedly asked, “Good grandson, really? Did you really grab a new product for me? And it’s spirit tea? I love tea the most. No, has it been sent over? Let me try it first!”
