Chapter 370 The Landlord's Foolish Son and His Poor Dog 3
Ji Bai was holding two sweet potatoes in his hands, followed by a dumpling with a bruise on his head, and walked back to the shabby little house.
The house was very small and was made of mud and wood, but there were no tiles on the roof. Instead, it was a pile of grass pressed down by a few stones. If it was windy or rainy, the roof would either leak or be blown away by the wind.
The house is very dilapidated and it is unknown how long it has been since it was renovated. The general layout of the interior can be seen from the outside because the holes are so big.
818 looked at this scene, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Just when he was about to say a few words to comfort the boss, he saw him walking into the room with two sweet potatoes in his hand, looking as usual.
The house is shabby, but clean.
Ji Bai took a quick glance and the grandfather outside the door brought out two bowls with two cracks on them.
"Momo, you take a rest first. Grandpa will go cook now. If you are hungry, eat the sweet potatoes that Aunt Zhang gave you first."
After grandpa finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
Before 818 flew in, a voice came in: [Boss! I’ll help you eat! ! ]
Ji Bai:.........
He stretched out his hand, stopped 818 from dropping its head into the bowl, grabbed it by the scruff of the neck, and threw it aside.
818 bit his upper lip, tears welling up in his eyes.
Ji Bai glanced at it, and it immediately wiped away its tears and said seriously: [Boss, let me show you what Brother Chu Xuan is doing now. ]
As it spoke, it brought up the big screen and displayed the scene over there.
In the picture, a tall man is sitting on a rock looking at the setting sun. The golden light shines on his face. His narrow and long phoenix eyes are slightly raised, and his eyes are like a deep pool, cold and distant.
He was wearing a black robe with intricately trimmed embroidery. The fabric was thin and soft, and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the breeze, adding a bit of elegance to him.
This scene doesn't show that he is a fool at all.
818 on the side also spoke out his thoughts: [From this perspective, Brother Chu Xuan doesn't look like a fool at all. He looks more serious than in any previous world. ]
Ji Bai was about to nod in agreement when he heard a voice coming from the screen:
"Ah Xuan~ Come home for dinner!"
Ji Bai paused, and 818 explained: [Brother Chu Xuan's name in this world is Pei Xuan, and his landlord father calls him Ah Xuan. ]
Ji Bai heard this and responded calmly: [Yeah.]
The tall man with cold eyes on the screen heard the call, and his originally cold expression suddenly changed. He stood up, patted the dust off his butt, and walked towards the man in the distance while responding lively:
"Daddy, I'm coming~!"
Looking at the silly Chu Xuan on the screen, Ji Bai was slightly silent. 818 commented: [Brother Chu Xuan in this world is quite cute. Because he has the intelligence of a five or six-year-old, he behaves like a child. At least he looks a little cuter than Song Bojian when he was five or six years old. ]
818 is overwhelmed when he thinks about the world when the eldest child was a child.
Brother Chu Xuan, who is also a child, sticks to the eldest brother all the time, so that he has no chance to eat delicious food!
At that time, even if the eldest brother went to the toilet for a long time, he would knock on the toilet door loudly, as if he wanted to hang the eldest brother on his belt. Thinking about it now, he can't help shivering.
The scene on the screen changed, and Pei Xuan in the picture was holding chopsticks awkwardly, trying to eat, but he got food all over his face.
The man next to him, who was in his fifties or sixties and had a big belly, was not angry. Instead, he cooperated with the man by laughing heartily and then praised him, "Xuan was great today! He ate so much rice by himself."
Pei Xuan, who had a few grains of rice on his face, raised his head proudly. "Daddy! I can still eat a lot of rice by myself!"
Landlord: “Really?”
Pei Xuan nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
The landlord laughed even louder and then gave him a big chicken leg which was his favorite.
When the big chicken drumstick appeared on the screen, 818's saliva was already flowing like a river. He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked forward to what dish his grandfather would cook for them later.
It should be a big chicken leg, or it could be a hairy crab, but it thinks the big chicken leg is more likely.
Because almost every household here has several chickens, but when it was outside just now, it didn’t see any chickens in grandpa’s house, so it means grandpa has already killed the chickens, and it will be able to eat the big chicken legs soon!
Looking at Chu Xuan who was eating delicious food on the screen, 818 swallowed his saliva, and finally reluctantly looked away, looking at the old man who was staring at the screen in a trance: [Boss, the heroine will not come through for another two years, so we still have a lot of time. ]
Ji Bai withdrew his gaze from the screen and replied calmly: [Yeah.]
"Mmmmm! It's time to eat!"
Grandpa's voice came from outside. In the blink of an eye, 818 beside Ji Bai rushed out: [Grandpa! I'm coming! ! ]
Ji Bai: .......
He picked up the sweet potato in front of him, stood up and walked out, only to see the petrified 818.
He was a little confused. If it was the same as before, 818 would be sitting at the table now, looking at the food on the plate with a greedy face, but now...
His doubts did not last long, because when he approached the stone table, he saw a pile of pitch-black things on the plate.
The grandfather at the side saw his grandson was silent and scratched his head: "Today's dish is fried duck feet."
Duck's foot is the name of a wild vegetable.
818 lowered his jaw in shock and said with a sad face: [This is different from what I thought.]
Ji Bai was silent for a while before he sat down calmly. He looked up at his grandfather and said, "As long as it's made by grandpa, it's delicious."
The old man has never seen any big scenes, let alone a scene like this.
He always knew that his grandson was good-looking, but he had never felt that he was so handsome. When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and one glance at him could make people forget to breathe.
When Momo was a child, her face was white, soft and round, and everyone wanted to pinch it when they took her out.
But after his parents passed away, he was raised by himself and gradually became much thinner. If it weren't for Aunt Zhang who fed him from time to time, he would have starved to death.
Although she is thinner now, she is more handsome and pretty than when she was a child. She has long eyebrows, a pair of clear and bright eyes, a fair face, and is sensible and obedient.
But Momo is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Their family is very poor. Going back hundreds of years, they are still poor farmers. They have a small piece of land, but the land is very barren and they can't produce a good harvest every year.
It was also for this reason that after several landlords changed, no one was interested in their land.
The food grown in the fields was not enough for the grandfather and grandson to live on. Sometimes when they had time, they would go to the mountains to look for some wild vegetables.
But the tastier wild vegetables had already been picked by others, and by the time they finished their work in the fields, almost everything on the mountain had been picked many times by the villagers.
Today, when he finished his work in the fields and was about to go home, he heard his beloved grandson on the ridge carrying a tattered backpack up the mountain, saying that he was going to pick mushrooms.
But now is not the time for mushrooms to grow. He heard those people sitting by the field saying that someone had gone to the mountains alone before, but encountered a ghost wall and was trapped and died in the forest.
At that time, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, thinking that something bad was going to happen, so he quickly turned back and went to the mountains to look for someone.
After entering the forest, he searched for half an hour but still couldn't find it.
The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, but fortunately he heard his grandson's voice in the end and found him.
