Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 189 - Mysterious Old Grandfather
Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Mysterious Old Grandfather Chapter 189 -189 Mysterious Old Grandfather After Wang Jinshun left, life at the Yue Family resumed its usual tranquility.
At the dinner table, Yue Qingqing was struggling with a rib.
Seeing her stuffed cheeks, resembling a little hamster, Yue Xiaofang smiled and added another rib to her plate.
“How have Qingqing, Xingxing, and Xiaohu been doing at school lately?”
Yue Xiaohu, true to his name, had a tigerish look about him.
He answered loudly, “School is fun!”
He had finally found friends to catch grasshoppers and play in the mud with.
Lately, Wang Xiaoni had to change his clothes every day.
He would leave the house clean in the morning only to return looking like a mud monkey in the evening.
Yue Xingxing complained with a pout, “Xiaohu doesn’t listen attentively in class, always passing notes with others. Sister Qingqing behaves well, the teacher often praises her.”
Zhang Ying tapped her daughter’s nose and served her a piece of fish.
Wang Xiaoni asked Xiaohu, “Why don’t you pay attention in class?”
Xiaohu asserted confidently, “School is boring. I don’t like studying; I want to be a soldier and wear a uniform.”
The family was taken aback for a moment, Yue Qingqing swallowed what was in her mouth and explained.
“A few days ago, Teacher Sun’s boyfriend came to visit her.”

Sun Yueyue had a boyfriend in the military who only came back once every few months on leave.
Since a soldier doesn’t have many places to spend money, he can save his salary and allowances.
Before visiting Sun Yueyue in Daye Village, he would always buy a bunch of things in the city.
Sun Yueyue genuinely liked the children, so whenever her boyfriend visited, the kids always got a treat.
Seeing the soldier brother in his crisp military uniform, bringing goodies with him, impressed the kids immensely.
Especially last time when two boys in school had a conflict and started fighting.
The soldier brother lifted one in each hand, easily separating the two and eliciting admiring cheers from all the kids.
Seeing Yue Xiaohu’s expression, Lin Chunju’s face fell stern.
“Do you think just anyone can be a soldier?”
Yue Xiaohu was taken aback.
Lin Chunju spoke to him seriously, as if to an adult.
“There aren’t many wars nowadays; the country was even downsizing the military a couple of years back. In the future, they’ll be looking for educated soldiers. If you don’t study hard now, no one will want you in the army later.”
Yue Xiaohu seemed to understand but not quite, yet at his age, he was already adept at reading adults’ expressions.
Seeing that everyone else remained quiet when Grandma spoke, he knew it was serious.
All he could do was promise with a grimace.
“I will study hard from now on.”
Lin Chunju instructed Yue Xingxing and Yue Qingqing, “You two are the older sisters, help Xiaohu out more often.”
Feeling a bit smug, Yue Xingxing tugged Yue Xiaohu’s ear.
“Did you hear that? Grandma said you have to listen to me.”
Yue Xiaohu huffed irritably in response.
Yue Qingqing looked on, amused.
Out in the world, Xingxing always had the bearing of an elder sister, protecting Xiaohu and herself in any situation.
Only at home would she deliberately tease Xiaohu—such was the natural bond between siblings, perhaps.
After dinner, Yue Qingqing secretly called Yue Xiaohu to the backyard.
Thinking there was something exciting afoot, he crept over sneakily.
“Sister Qingqing, what did you call me for?”
Yue Qingqing looked at him seriously, “Do you really want to become a soldier?”
Yue Xiaohu nodded vigorously, “Yes, I want to be a soldier!”
Yue Qingqing observed his vigor, with robust qi and strong bones; he truly was naturally suited for martial arts practice.
Putting on an air of mystery, Yue Qingqing whispered, “Actually, I met an old man with a big beard in the village before. He claimed he was a master who possessed Peerless Martial Arts, just waiting for a destined disciple.”
Yue Xiaohu’s eyes widened. He often watched martial arts TV shows with Yue Qingqing at the village chief’s home.
Such shows were quite popular recently.
Encounters with reclusive experts who emerge from over a cliff, dwell in caves, or even disguise themselves as beggars in markets were common themes.
The experts in these stories were always those dusty, travel-worn elders.
Therefore, he didn’t doubt her words for a second and became thrilled, bouncing up and down with excitement.
“Where’s the old man? I’m the destined one. I want to be his disciple!”
