Acai's Sky

Chapter 475 Know but Can’t Say…

Old Xiao's smile grew brighter, as if the wrinkles on his face were dancing happily, and his eyes sparkled with pride.

At this moment, he was certain in his heart that the mysterious Lord of Wangyou City must be hiding in this quiet Taibai Village.

However, he knew very well that this matter was of great importance and that if it were leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, people both at home and abroad are looking for the Lord of Wangyou City, and he or she is most likely the mysterious inviter of Old Liu's grandsons.

Xiao Chen touched his nose helplessly. He has always been good at observing people's words and expressions. At this moment, he naturally understood that it was not appropriate to say more about this matter, so he chose to remain silent and just stood quietly aside, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

Hua Lao's face was filled with a sunny smile. He called out to Xiao Yi, "Go to the door and see if Xiao Youzi and the others have arrived. Remember to bring them along to play."

Ever since Xiaoyi was born, his house has become extremely lively, with a group of playful children always gathering at the door.

Xiaoyi's mechanical voice sounded again. Although it lacked emotional fluctuations, it revealed a firmness and reliability. "Okay, Master."

The voice echoed in the air like a promise, making people feel an indescribable sense of security.

Old Wang narrowed his eyes slightly and exchanged a glance with Old Xiao silently. When their eyes met, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding being quietly conveyed.

Mr. Wang knew very well that this seemingly ordinary robot actually hid unknown secrets.

It is a second-generation robot carefully crafted by the Mohists of the Qin State in Wangyou City. Its craftsmanship is so exquisite that it is breathtaking.

He recalled that he had once witnessed the elegance of this robot by chance in the City Lord's Mansion. Its unique structure and exquisite craftsmanship were still deeply engraved in his memory.

On the other side, Qiu Shulai and Qiu Shuyu looked at each other with stubbornness in their eyes, like two statues facing each other, neither of them willing to be the first to break the awkward silence.

They each stood firm in their own position, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Old Xiao turned around and asked Old Hua in confusion, "How is this robot? Is there anything special about it?"

He was full of curiosity about the robot and eager to know more about its story.

Old Man Hua nodded with a smile, the wrinkles on his face as gorgeous as blooming chrysanthemums. "This robot is so useful! I set all its habits myself. It's very flexible and powerful..."

As he spoke, he gestured, as if he wanted everyone to witness the magic of the robot with their own eyes.

"On weekdays, it gives us old guys massages and serves us tea and water. If someone gets up in the middle of the night, it can easily carry them to the bathroom. It's really convenient..."

Mr. Hua spoke in detail, his eyes full of love and cherishment for the robot.

Prince Guan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea flowed down his throat and nourished his heart.

After putting down his teacup, he continued, "What exactly does this robot given to retired personnel look like? How does it perform? Does it have any unique features?"

Mr. Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with thought. He slowly said, "This matter is indeed quite complicated. It is said that these robots can help us do many things, such as cleaning, chatting and so on.

But there are so many people that we have to count and distribute them one by one. In addition, the situations of the veterans of the Red Army and the Anti-Japanese War are different. There are also many who have not yet registered, that is, those who participated in the Anti-Japanese War and the miscellaneous troops. Therefore, this comprehensive census will take quite a while. "

Hua Lao and Guan Lao smiled at each other, and a hint of imperceptible shock flashed in each other's eyes.

They thought to themselves that Manager Tong was truly extraordinary, as he was able to send the second-generation robot here.

Xiao Lao looked around Hua Lao's new house. He saw that it was fully functional, well-planned, and spacious and bright. Living here with several old men seemed particularly comfortable and cozy.

Old Wang stood aside, his eyes full of envy.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Look at this environment and these conditions. I'm so envious! I wish I could live here too."

Old Man Hua smiled and nodded, saying, "This time when we're building the new village, we've indeed reserved a lot of empty villas and apartments. If you want to live there, just go rent one in the village. The environment and facilities here are pretty good anyway."

At this moment, Xiaoyi quietly walked in and gently reminded: "Dinner time is coming, everyone please move to the restaurant to eat..."

When Hua Lao heard this, he quickly stood up and called on everyone else to go to the restaurant together.

At the same time, he didn't forget to pull Qiu Shulai and said jokingly, "Come on, eat a full meal so you can have the energy to argue! Otherwise, you won't have the energy to do it later."

A few people walked towards the restaurant, chatting and laughing. The faint aroma of food wafted from the direction of the restaurant, making people look forward to it.

Qiu Shulai glared at his elder brother fiercely, his eyes threatening to burst into flames. "Hmph!" This cold snort was filled with his inner dissatisfaction.

Qiu Shuyu stared back fearlessly, with a stubborn glint in her eyes.

On the way, Xiao Lao tilted his head slightly and asked softly in a low voice, "What's going on between you two brothers? Why has the atmosphere suddenly become so tense?"

Qiu Shuyu sighed deeply, and that breath seemed to carry endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

He said slowly: "Before the Korean War broke out, I was full of joy and planned to go home to visit my parents whom I hadn't seen for a long time and show my filial piety.

But when the urgent order came, the team set off in an instant. I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my parents, let alone see them for the last time..." When he said this, a trace of sadness and loss flashed in his eyes.

Old Wang glanced sideways, a puzzled expression on his face. "Your brother seems quite resentful! Is he blaming you?"

Qiu Shuyu nodded heavily, her tone filled with helplessness and bitterness, "After the founding of the country, my brother chose to retire and return to his hometown to take care of our parents.

But who could have imagined that his parents would suddenly fall seriously ill? He really couldn't bear to leave his parents again to go to the battlefield.

By the time I heard the news, I had already set out for the Korean War. How could he not be furious when he saw me on the battlefield?

Old Xiao sighed and said with emotion, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time! Have you two brothers still not resolved the resentment in your hearts?"

Qiu Shuyu walked forward with his hands behind his back. "Look at him. If it weren't for the incident in Taibai Village that he couldn't solve, would he have called me?"

Old Wang smiled and said, "This is the opportunity. I think he has long since given up his resentment, but he is too embarrassed to do it. You two should talk more and talk it out."

"Drip..."

Hua Lao slapped his forehead.

"People tend to forget things when they get old. We don't actually have to walk to the restaurant or cafeteria. There's a car to pick us up. Look, I actually forgot."

Tong Jiashi drove an electric bus to the front of several elderly people and stopped the car.

He stuck his head out and said, "Grandpa, we're still some distance away. Are we sitting in the car?"

Hua Lao nodded quickly and said, "Let's go, get in the car!"
