Chapter 76

"Chen Tian, the food you make is really delicious."

Ran Ran Qiuye was almost tempted to cry by the food in front of her.

She had never eaten anything so delicious.

Her parents were scholars who had returned from studying abroad, and her family background had been quite well-off since she was a child.

Although she didn't have to worry about food and drink, it couldn't compare to Lou Xiao'e.

Even Lou Xiao'e had been conquered by the gourmet food Chen Tian made, let alone Ran Ran Qiuye.

"I'm idle when I'm alone, so I like to cook; no matter how bitter things are, I can't let my stomach suffer."

Chen Tian smiled; a simple dinner had surprised Ran Ran Qiuye so much.

After staying at Chen Tian's house for a while, Ran Ran Qiuye noticed something wrong.

Chen Tian's house was too warm!

And he was only wearing a single layer of clothing!

Looking at the thick cotton clothes she was wearing, Ran Ran Qiuye doubted whether she and Chen Tian were in the same season.

She was sweating from the heat.

She wanted to take off her cotton coat, but felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, this was her first time visiting a strange man's house, and she couldn't quite let go.

In the original story, Ran Ran Qiuye was a woman who prided herself on being aloof.

Coming from an intellectual family, she was born with a sense of pride.

At first, when Sha Zhu wanted to date her, Ran Ran Qiuye felt that Sha Zhu was rough and uncultured, only knowing how to swing his fists and hit people.

Later, when she was labeled a "stinking old nine," not allowed to teach, and sent to clean toilets, she felt Sha Zhu was a decent person and wanted to reconsider.

Now, facing Chen Tian, Ran Ran Qiuye was speechless.

"Teacher Ran, I have heating installed in my house; the temperature is very high, warmer than spring."

"I see you're sweating from the heat; take off your cotton coat, it's fine."

Ran Ran Qiuye's eyes widened.

Heating?

It was her first time seeing this thing.

Her parents, who had returned from abroad, had mentioned it in casual conversation once.

At the time, Ran Ran Qiuye thought it was amazing that one could keep warm just by relying on hot water.

She hadn't expected to see it in Chen Tian's house now!

Hearing Chen Tian say this, she was no longer coy and generously took off her cotton coat.

Underneath, she was wearing a white sweater.

"Come quickly, someone fell into the latrine!"

"Come quickly to save someone!"

A woman stood at the entrance of the alley, shouting at the top of her lungs.

The sharp voice pierced the night sky and reached every courtyard.

"Whoa, this is simply a strange tale; someone actually fell into the latrine?"

"How stupid can one be? Who is so talented?"

"Forget who it is, didn't you hear them calling for help? Go take a look!"

"Let's go, let's go, hurry and see!"

People from nearby courtyards swarmed out like a hive.

Everyone wanted to see who the genius was that fell into the manure pit.

There were also kind-hearted people who came to save someone.

In this weather, if someone fell in for a few hours, they might not make it.

"Dad, did you hear? Someone fell into the latrine!"

Yan Yan Jiecheng was excited; this was big news.

In this day and age, there were too few entertainment activities; after eating, one just went to bed, which was also the reason why every family had several children.

Yan Yan Jiecheng wanted to listen to the radio for a while, but he had to pay his old man for the electricity.

"Let's go, let's go, saving people is important."

Yan Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses; he said it was to save people, but in reality, he was just going to watch the excitement.

He was a teacher, so he couldn't say it directly like that.

"Yan Jiecheng, hurry to the back courtyard and call your Uncle Yi and Uncle Two, let them come help too."

Yan Yan Jiecheng grinned and ran off like a wisp of smoke to the middle and back courtyards, notifying every household.

That's how it was in the courtyard; if there was any fresh news, the whole courtyard had to be mobilized.

"I'm dying of laughter, there are still such stupid people in this day and age who can fall into a latrine!"

"Ezi, let's go, let's go see which idiot it is."

Xu Xu Damao was overjoyed; hearing someone fell into a latrine, he was full of schadenfreude.

"Someone fell into a latrine?"

Ran Ran Qiuye was astonished; she didn't expect to encounter so many things in one day.

She wanted to go watch the excitement, but was afraid Chen Tian would laugh at her.

After all, this wasn't a good thing.

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

Chen Tian saw through her thoughts.

In the courtyard, Yi Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Xu Xu Damao, Yan Yan Bugui's family, Liu Liu Haizhong's family, and Qin Qin Huairu had all arrived.

People from several nearby courtyards squeezed together, surrounding the outside of the toilet.

"Make way, make way."

Sha Zhu kept squeezing in, wanting to stand on the front line to watch the excitement.

The brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu, Yan Yan Jiecheng and Yan Yan Jiefang, and Yan Yan Jiekuang all followed Sha Zhu and squeezed in.

"Who is it?"

Sha Zhu poked his head out and peered into the latrine.

The person inside was completely submerged in filth, their face covered in white and yellow, making it impossible to see who it was.

"Hey, I'm asking you, can you talk? Whose family are you from?"

Sha Zhu wouldn't let it go and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The person in the latrine seemed to have no strength to speak or something, just feebly extending their arm and shaking it weakly.

"Why is this cane so familiar?"

Yan Yan Jiecheng picked up a cane from the ground; it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember whose it was for a moment.

"This is the Old Lady's cane!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai rushed forward; there was absolutely no mistake, for over a decade, the Old Lady had been using this one, and it was polished smooth.
