Strive for Science

Chapter 60 Poplar Demon

With trembling hands, he accepted the gift box Shen Changan sent over, and he heard the child whisper to him: "By the way, my friend specially prepared this for the elders. He has a rather dull personality and doesn't like to talk much, but he has always been very talkative." Take care of me. You are an elder, so don't be too serious with him later. "

After speaking, another gift box was placed in his hand.

Grandpa Yang looked at the small gift box exuding a strong aura, and almost threw the gift box on the ground with tremors.

Even if he borrowed 1 courage, he would not dare to be an elder who behaved like that.But this gift box is indeed a good thing. Human beings eat it to prolong their life, and demon cultivators eat it to increase their cultivation base.

It seems that Lord Tiandao really didn't come here to catch him, otherwise why are you preparing these gifts?

"Old Yang, you don't have to be so excited when you see Chang'an coming back." Grandpa Wang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "If you are blind, you should obey your old age. Don't just think about winning all day long."

Grandpa Yang glared at him, but miraculously he didn't speak back.His honest appearance made Grandpa Wang unbearably puzzled. Is this old guy pretending to be pitiful in front of Chang'an?

Thinking of this, he said to Shen Chang'an: "Chang'an, don't look at the pitiful appearance of this old guy, he is actually pretending to lie to you. Five minutes ago, he almost lifted the chessboard, saying that his chess skills are ours. The best out there.”

Hearing this, Shen Tu glanced at Yang Shuyao with mixed emotions. He knew that the Yaoxiu was living in a very downturn, but he never expected that he would be so downcast that he could compete with humans for the better chess skill, which is really promising of.

Long accustomed to the mutual harm between these elders, Shen Changjian pretended not to notice the confrontation between them, and beckoned Shen Tu to sit down.

"Young year." Although Grandma Zhao is over 80 years old, she looks very energetic. She has been devoting herself to biological research for these years. Although she has been idle for the past two years, if young scholars have research problems, she He will also actively help to solve it, and he is a leader in the academic world that countless people look up to.

She is dressed plainly, she looks no different from an ordinary old lady, but her eyes are very clear: "Xiao Nian met Chang'an in Wuming City?"

Daonian nodded: "My home is in Wuming City."

"Oh." Grandma Zhao nodded with a smile. She didn't look at the wheelchair under Dao Nian. She treated Dao Nian like an ordinary junior, without any sense of arrogance. I’m also worried that Chang’an won’t be used to staying in Wuming City, so it’s good to have a mature and stable friend watching over him.”

"This young man is outside, we old guys are not at ease, it's just that the child has grown up and has his own ideas, and we old people talk too much, and we are afraid that he won't listen." Grandpa Wang waved his hand, "Chang'an, you Go cut some fruit in the kitchen."

"Okay." Shen Changan stood up, and secretly gestured to the elders with his eyes, asking them to be kinder to Dao Nian.Dao Nian is introverted, but he is not as thick-skinned as him, so they can't help but say that.

"I'll go with Chang'an." Grandpa Yang stood up, "He hasn't lived here much in recent years, I'm afraid he's not familiar with the kitchen."

"Every time he is the most used to children. When we were young and strict with Chang'an, he was always behind us." Grandpa Wang watched Old Yang Didian follow behind Shen Chang'an. Shen Chang'an was worried that he would fall, so he turned around to support him , a little envious and jealous, "All my scheming in this life has been spent on pleasing children."

"Mr. Wang, don't talk about it. When Chang'an was studying, who told him to be hard and simple while secretly giving him pocket money?" After criticizing these friends who had been with him for many years, Grandma Zhao turned her head and smiled at Daonian. , "It's said that old children, old children, these guys are old and confused, don't joke."

Shen Tu: "..."

You who said this are no younger than the others.

Human elders are really complicated creatures.

Many of the furniture in the courtyard are old objects from the past. The old men and women are not very particular about their daily life. If there are no sanitation staff to take care of their daily life, it is possible for them to starve themselves to death.

Probably they have devoted their whole lives to scientific research, and their ability to take care of themselves is a little bit worse.

Shen Changan dug out the fruit in the refrigerator in the kitchen, washed it, cut it, and took it out. Seeing that everyone seemed to be in a good mood, he felt relieved: "Sit down and talk slowly. I haven't been back for a long time, and I'll cook a meal for everyone."

Hearing that Shen Changan was going to cook for them, the old man and the old ladies showed anticipation while telling him to have a good rest.

Grandpa Yang stood by the sink and helped Shen Changan wash vegetables: "Changan, how did you meet this friend?"

"When I first went to work in Wuming City, I saw him in a little trouble, so I helped him out, and I became familiar with it." Shen Changan skillfully chopped vegetables, "Grandpa Yang, don't worry, I'm here Wuming City had a great time."

"A few days ago, the security department planned to transfer me back to work in the Imperial Capital, but I refused." Shen Changan turned down the heat of the pressure cooker, "Will you blame me?"

"Boy, if we didn't respect your decision, we wouldn't have let you go." Grandpa Yang put the bright red tomatoes into the vegetable basket, "But can you tell me why you stayed in Wuming City? "

"Life in Wuming City is very easy." Shen Chang'an smiled, "Apart from going to work every day, I'm on the way back. Guess what delicious food Dao Nian prepared for me..."

"Wait, you live in his house?" Grandpa Yang squeezed the green pepper in his hand, "He let you live in his house?"

"Yeah." Although he didn't know why Grandpa Yang reacted so strongly, Shen Chang'an nodded his head a few times, "Dao Nian is very nice. Seeing me living alone, he not only let me live in his house, but also gave me him. All entry and exit permissions of the house gate..."

Grandpa Yang's legs gave way, and he almost plunged into the sink. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Your friend...doesn't he treat you a little better?"

"Knock knock knock."

Shen Tu knocked on the kitchen door, then folded his arms and looked at the two with a smile: "Chang'an, I'm here to see if there is any need for help. Teacher Yang, you go and rest, as long as I am here."

"No, it's okay. Although I look old, I can still do it. Life lies in exercise." Grandpa Yang laughed dryly, with a nervous expression on his face. He seemed to want to bow down to salute Shen Tu, but because of Shen Changan's presence, So I forcibly held back.

Shen Tu chuckled with unknown meaning: "I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder if Teacher Yang's wish can be fulfilled?"

Grandpa Yang dared not speak.

Shen Tu was about to say something, but Shen Changan suddenly stuffed unpeeled garlic in his hand: "You peel the garlic for me."

"Okay." Shen Tu obediently sat on the small stool, bent over the trash can and acted like a garlic peeler.

Grandpa Yang is in a very complicated mood. Does Changan know that what he is using now is the door god who has been worshiped by humans for many years and can ward off evil and suppress evil?

Shen Chang'an not only didn't know, but also threw a handful of shallots to Shen Tu: "Shen Tu, do you know Grandpa Yang?"

"En." Shen Tu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Grandpa Yang, and said to Shen Chang'an, "You also know that there are many people who owe money to Mr...."

"Grandpa Yang owes it too?" Shen Changan couldn't believe it, "Grandpa Yang, is this true?"

"T-really." Grandpa Yang gritted his teeth and admitted, "But sir, he doesn't know about this. He has a lot of property under his name, so maybe he doesn't remember me anymore."

"So that's how it is." Shen Chang'an nodded clearly, "However, you still call him Mr. Daonian. You are an elder and he is a junior. It is inappropriate for you to call him Mr. You can just call him Xiaonian."

Grandpa Yang: "..."

No, I dare not, not even to kill.

Seeing that Yang Shuyao was in distress, Shentu sneered: "But you don't have to worry, Mr. Yang has already paid off the debt, although there is still some interest, but for the sake of Chang'an, Mr. will not pursue it any further. "

Shen Chang'an looked at Shen Tu, then at Grandpa Yang, always felt that the atmosphere between these two people was a bit strange, obviously judging by their ages, they were both grandparents.

In order to take care of the old man's teeth and health, Shen Chang'an cooked this light meal, but he took the time to cook some of Dao Nian's favorite dishes. When serving the dishes out, he deliberately put these dishes in front of Dao Nian.

Grandpa Yang sat silently in the farthest position from Daonian, listening to these old guys asking around Master Tiandao, and giving him some suggestions for company development and prospects for product promotion, Grandpa Yang pushed his glasses silently, There is a saying called boldness, doesn't it surround the sky?

After the meal, Shen Tu offered to wash the dishes, he waited in the kitchen for a while, and the poplar tree demon came to him.

"The little demon has met the door god." In front of Shen Tu, the Yangshu demon still looked like an old man, but he couldn't see the shadow of the old man in his posture and movements.

"You don't need to salute, the God Realm has already declined, so you don't need to pay attention to these anymore." With a wave of Shen Tu's hand, the clean bowls were neatly placed in the disinfection cabinet, and the whole kitchen became clean.

"The little demon is just reminiscing about the past. My lord helped the little demon speak well in front of Lord Tiandao, remove my demon status for me, and let me walk in the world as a human being." Yang Shuyao still insisted on finishing this ceremony.

"Did you regret these years?" Shen Tu looked at him, "It's not easy to practice for many years. After getting rid of the demon, you will become more and more like a human being, gradually lose your cultivation, and finally...life, old age, sickness and death."

The poplar tree demon did not speak.

"You don't know what happened to the demon clan, and you don't even know how difficult the demon tree clan has become. You really don't have any regrets these years?" Looking at the old face of the demon tree demon, Shen Tu couldn't imagine how many decades ago , he is still a handsome and handsome man.

"Back then you also asked me if I would regret making this choice." Through the window, Grandpa Yang looked at the people in the yard, not knowing what Shen Changan said, and made the old people laugh out loud.

"I remember saying that if I didn't make that choice, I would regret it at the time. If I made the choice, I might regret it later." Grandpa Yang smiled, "It's pretty good now, whether it's a person or a demon, anyone I can't live forever, I just die earlier than other monsters."

"The human being you like is not with you?"

"Her." Grandpa Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "She is a beautiful girl, with red strings tied into her braids, she is more beautiful than the flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains."

He seemed to recall something, and his smile dimmed little by little: "When she died, she told me that she would definitely marry me in the next life."

"She died?" Shen Tu was silent for a long time, "When?"

"60 years ago." Grandpa Yang took out a cigarette from his coat and lit it with shaking hands, "There was an accident in the laboratory. In order to protect the data that was finally obtained, she rushed into the fire and rescued most of the things. , people are gone."

With a few simple words, there seemed to be no surprise or joy, but Shen Tu saw tears in his eyes.

Most demons don't know how to shed tears.

"You..." Shen Tu couldn't bear it, "I just plan to live like this for the rest of my life."

"Yes, I promised her to live a good life, to live to a hundred years old, and to contribute to the country." Grandpa Yang grinned, "Isn't it still a few years away? As a man, I promised a woman." Things can't be counted."

There were footsteps coming from far and near, and the two of them stopped talking together.

"Grandpa Yang, so you are here?" Shen Changan poked his head out from the kitchen door, "They want to teach Dao Nian how to play bridge, Grandma Zhao said you are the best at this game, let you make up the number."

Grandpa Yang: "..."

Why did he teach Grandpa Tiandao how to play cards?

"Old Yang!" Granny Zhao shouted loudly in the yard, "Come here quickly, if you don't come here again, we won't recognize you as the chess king!"

Grandpa Yang: "..."

He is not so childish!

Through the window, he found that Lord Tiandao was looking up at this side, his legs trembled, and he obediently walked out.

Although he is not naive, he is timid.

"Shen Tu, I didn't expect you to be so good at cleaning the kitchen, and you cleaned it up so quickly." Shen Chang'an touched the wall, "Even cleaned up the stubborn stains I accidentally made when I was a child, how did you do that?" ?”

"This...is a new type of cleaning product invented by Teacher Yang. It hasn't been completely successful yet. I tried it just now, and the effect is really good." Shen Tu picked up a bottle of unknown liquid from the corner, "This is it, what do you want?" Do you want to try?"

Shen Changan shook his head, suddenly his eyes lit up: "Hey, if the effect is really good, and it is safe and harmless, Dao Nian can buy the production patent, which will definitely make money."

Shen Tu: "..."

"I'm going to discuss it with Dao Nian!"

"Wait!" Shen Tu looked worried at the figure of Shen Changan running towards the yard.

How can he make Yang Shuyue really develop a safe and harmless high-strength decontamination liquid that can wash away all stains?

"Dao Nian." Shen Changan walked to Dao Nian and whispered to him, "I just discovered a small channel that might make money."

After speaking, he glanced at Grandpa Yang who was drawing cards.If this can be done, Grandpa Yang, who has owed interest and has not paid back, will have confidence in front of Dao Nian, and Dao Nian can also make money, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Poplar tree demon:?

What does this look mean?

The author has something to say: Yang Shuyao: Shentu, if I can't beat you, I will beat you!
