Ultraman Time Repairman

“You and my son looked a lot alike when they were young. Maybe when he has a grandson, he will look just like you.”

Just as Qian Shu was still in a daze, the old woman suddenly spoke up.

"Oh dear, he was quite mischievous when he was little. He always talked about wanting to fly airplanes when he grew up, haha."

Qian Shu wanted to leave, but the old woman insisted on chatting with him, so he had no choice but to continue chatting with her.

Did he achieve his dream?

"Yes, of course it's true. Jianyi is working in a very far place now, and I'm all alone at home."

"That's it."

Qian Shu nodded and said, "It seems that this old lady is an elderly person living alone."

As for where the rest of the family went while her son was away on a business trip, he didn't ask. It seems this mother-in-law has a story to tell.

"Moreover, Jianyi used to be a very helpful child. He often helped elderly people who were too weak to carry things on the street."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Qian Shu nodded, then glanced somewhat awkwardly at the bags of vegetables and flowers placed on the ground beside the old woman.

"Grandma, why did you buy so many flowers?"

"Want to know?"

The old woman's tone suddenly changed to that of someone coaxing a child.

"I'll tell you if you take it home for me."

Having already guessed the ending, Chishu sighed helplessly.

"Ok."

Let's just consider it a way of showing care for the elderly.

…………

"Grandma, you're not a child trafficker, are you?"

As Qian Shu walked, she became increasingly convinced that this might be a new tactic for child trafficking, even though she herself was no longer a child.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The old woman suddenly slapped him angrily.

"Although the old lady is old, she has never done anything to cheat or deceive."

"Ok."

Chishu helplessly lifted the bag in her hand, wondering if she had been kidnapped.

The old woman walked very slowly, so in order to take care of her, he had to slow down his own pace, thinking about his future as he walked.

What to do next?

Should I go to Team Mac and reveal my identity to Dan Moroboshi?

After all, he's currently an unregistered resident and has no money on him.

Because of his status, Balgi might be able to freeload.

As for what the future holds, although he was somewhat worried about the coordinates left by the shadow on his body, he still chose to believe in himself.

But anyway, let's help the old lady first, and then call the Mac team after we get away.

Otherwise, where will I go when it gets late?

"Grandma, we're not there yet."

"You young people are just too impatient. Look, right there."

Qian Shu looked in the direction the old woman was pointing and saw a shop with a sign hanging on the side of the street.

flower shop?

Through the window, you can see all kinds of flowers placed in yellow bamboo baskets, not a single one of them withered.

“Just leave it here.”

After entering the room and pointing to a spot, the old woman bent down, placed a bag of pale purple violets on the ground, opened it, and then skillfully began cutting them with a sharp pair of scissors beside her.

First, trim off any excess branches and leaves. Then, cut the base at a 45-degree angle. Finally, place the plant in a water bottle to allow it to recover.

"Grandma, do you need any help?"

"No need, let me take care of these flowers."

As the old woman carefully arranged the still-damp flowers, she smiled at Qian Shu.

"Can I leave now?"

"So you really don't want to keep an old woman company? How about this, to express your gratitude, why don't you stay for dinner at your mother-in-law's house tonight? It's been a long time since your mother-in-law has hosted any guests, so your family shouldn't mind, right?"

The old woman was still busy with the flowers in her hands, while speaking gently to Qian Shu beside her.

This suddenly made him feel a little dazed. He opened his mouth to refuse, but for some reason, he changed his mind.

"it is good."

He had been caught in the vortex of battle for a long time, and he hadn't felt this at ease in a long time.

No more worries about hidden enemies, although the world is still not safe.

He suddenly realized that he had said goodbye to an adventure in a different time and space, and that the world he was in now was not as fast-paced as before.

Let's not look for Seven for now. We'll think about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. What's wrong with me just having one bowl of dinner?

"Look at me, I'm getting old, I haven't even asked you your name yet."

"My name is Qian Shu, and what's yours, Grandma?"

“Okay, Jianyi. The neighbors and customers all call me Grandma Luyuan, but I’ll be even happier if you call me Grandma Auntie. I’m almost seventy, but I still don’t have any grandchildren.”

“But Grandma, my name is Qian Shu, not Jian Yi.”

"Okay, Xiao Jianyi. I'll make you dinner after I finish processing the flowers. The quality of these flowers is pretty good."

Grandma Luyuan smiled.

Qian Shu sighed and looked at the wall clock in the flower shop, where the shortest black hand was pointing to the number three.

"It's only three or four o'clock now, isn't it a bit early to start cooking?"

"It is indeed a bit early."

The mother-in-law glanced at the wall clock and nodded.

"Grandma, I need to take care of some things first, okay? I'll come see you again tonight, alright?"

Qian Shu suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law put down the scissors and flowers in her hand, turned her head to look into Qian Shu's eyes, and there was some reluctance in her eyes.

"Okay, but remember to come back when it's time to eat!"

"Um!"

Chishu nodded to her, then turned and left the small flower shop.

It's still early, so he can do whatever he wants.

Strolling leisurely along the streets reminiscent of the 1970s, Chishu looked around with a touch of curiosity. Seeing the customs, traditions, and spirit of people from different eras was indeed an interesting thing.

Meanwhile, he wasn't idle either; he took a walk while observing the surrounding information, hoping to find a decent job.

According to his observation, there was a restaurant that seemed pretty good, and the sign on the door clearly stated that they were hiring. He just didn't know if they were hiring short-term workers, since Kuroshio Island was going to sink soon, and he planned to go somewhere else before that happened.

"Hello, do you hire part-time staff here?"

Are you a local?

"No."

"Then please show me your passport or other identification documents."

"Hmph, sorry to bother you."

Since she didn't have any identification, Qian Shu tried to get accepted by several restaurants, but was rejected by all of them.

There was no other way but to ask Dan Moroboshi for help.

After failing another job interview, Qian Shu shamelessly borrowed a phone. Fortunately, the boss was quite kind and generously lent him the restaurant's phone.

After expressing his gratitude, Chishu inquired about the Mac team's number.

After quickly pressing the number with my fingers, a few rings later, the other end answered.

"Hello, this is Team Mac."

"Hello, Mac, this is Balgi alien."
