Chapter 1039

~7 min read 1,386 words

Eat if you want to eat! Everyone in the kitchen was reaching out. Anyway, five pigs were slaughtered today, and there was plenty of pork fat.

Since that was the case...

She also found two plates: "Pack two plates for me, one sweet and one salty."

"Okay!" The aunt responded first: "For Xiao Lu, right? Tell him to go upstairs to eat. It's messy downstairs, and who knows how many people are watching."

Song Tan:... The man is a perfectly fine person; does he have to sneak around and hide just to eat some pork cracklings at our house?

She waved her hand: "Aunt, you pack them first."

She turned and found Lu Chuan, who was carrying a bag of fried fish chunks: "Where are your two friends? I've packed a plate of pork cracklings for you; you can call them to come and eat some too."

However, outside in the courtyard, the villagers, friends, and partners were in a mess. Song Tan thought about it and adopted the aunt's suggestion:

"You go upstairs first, and I'll send it to you later."

As she spoke, she snatched the fried fish chunks from his hand and turned back into the kitchen.

"You come and lend a hand too!"

Lu Chuan nodded, then pointed to several old men in the crowd: "Should we invite them to come and eat together too? The young people around them have done a lot of work since early this morning."

Is this the pork cracklings that are soul-stirringly fragrant at the tip of the nose!

And Lu Chuan, at the kitchen door, met the aunt's gaze. At this moment, he really didn't know what to say, so he could only, like a young lady from a wealthy family, silently retreat to his embroidery tower... oh no, the second floor.

Standing on the balcony, one could see the two people holding their phones in their palms, constantly taking videos, obviously planning to flood their WeChat Moments later.

The old men were numerous; they could totally go to the living room to eat and drink. How spacious!

Qin Yun was filled with awe!

Ahey!

Honestly, looking at the accommodation environment, Lu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, since they came so low-key, it proved they had no ill intentions. Perhaps they just wanted to experience life in the countryside?

It's just that for someone who is smooth, meeting people who have taste, aesthetics, and understand atmosphere, although he felt it was unnecessary, it was hard not to appreciate it.

As for the few old men crowded in the center, everyone had their own position.

But the new-style rural villa built by Qin Yun's family, with its lighting, ventilation, and simple pure cotton four-piece bedding, made him completely relax.

It's true.

Because those few old men didn't look like ordinary people.

Footsteps came from the outer staircase, and Lu Chuan took out his phone and dialed directly.

The aunt looked at Lu Chuan, who was standing blankly at the kitchen door, and beamed: "Good, good, good! I'll pick the best ones to put in—but don't eat too much. After all, there's cabbage and tofu stewed with cracklings; it's so fragrant!"

"The ones sprinkled with white sugar still have to be eaten hot to be delicious..."

Just entering the courtyard, it felt like he had a feeling. Looking up, Lu Chuan was holding a plate and raising it slightly.

The old man was quite wise; he didn't need to shout everywhere in the crowd, but directly gave a look to the young Du beside him.

It should be the original owners of the few retired dogs that Qin Yun mentioned, right?

"Old man, I never thought slaughtering pigs could be so busy. Thanks to you for bringing Brother Du and the others to help... Come, come, come, it's freshly out of the pot, crispy and crunchy. Half is sugar, half is salt. We'll all eat together in the living room later!"

"Ow!" He exclaimed, then pulled He Kuang, who was still taking videos, and rushed into the courtyard!

And the unlucky friend that Shi Bo just asked him to call—

Closer, the alluring fragrance became even more irresistible. Old Zhu was the first to rush into the living room:

"Stop watching! Are you going to eat the pork cracklings or not! Come quickly!"

Then he hung up the phone and greeted the staircase: "Thank you for your hard work—actually, I'm not that fragile; I could have done these things myself."

Song Tan and He Kuang were like crazy. If their legs weren't long enough, they would have wanted to take three steps at a time going up the stairs!

Following closely and squeezing inside were people whose height and physique far exceeded ordinary people... well, they should have undergone professional training. However, they didn't look like they were from the same system...

The balcony on the second floor could see the lively scene of dividing pork at the entrance—the outermost ones were the two men who had just arrived, dressed quite simply, but their temperament was quite good, very official-looking.

And as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Qin Yun already coming out of the kitchen with a basin, and she even smiled when she saw them:

Dealing with Song Tan, Lu Chuan was concise: "Come to eat pork cracklings."

"Lu Chuan, it's not that I'm talking about you! Why are you so coy like a young girl! You can resist not joining in such a lively scene; what kind of devilish willpower do you have?!"

Then he hurried downstairs—

He couldn't even care about looking at messages.

But now that he had received the call—

Also crazy was the old man—Old Man Zhu, hearing the call, had already been squeezed closer to the pork by the crowd.

And on this side, Song Tan, who received the call, was completely stunned—pork cracklings!

Good, good, good!

She really forgot for a moment, so she quickly called Old Man Zhu:

The only difference was that no matter how crowded or lively it was, the young people they brought kept their attention on them after they finished their work, never leaving them for a moment.

The air in the countryside is indeed good!

"Brother Du! You know my body. Although I have dentures, there's nothing else to avoid... I'll eat these pork cracklings to my heart's content! Don't be polite, and don't let those few of them snatch too much."

Just while packing his luggage, he had already tidied up the balcony. Now the small table left idle on the balcony was wiped clean, and the matching small cushions on the chairs were neatly arranged.

And outside the kitchen, Lu Jing was eating the piping hot pork cracklings, constantly sucking in air but reluctant to spit them out, only vaguely commenting:

She carefully placed the cracklings on the table and shook her head: "I don't think you're incapable, but you're not familiar with my family, and I'm afraid you'll be too polite and uncomfortable—come, eat first. If you get tired of it, you can go downstairs and pour tea yourself."

Following that, Brother Du contacted the other five. Then everyone supported the old man, and they easily wove out of the crowd like fish.

There was even a book on the table!

After all, although he didn't want to admit it, he was now a fastidious person. The quality of textiles and the accommodation environment all affected his quality of life.

When that was said, Song Tan immediately looked at the aunt: "Aunt, make more of the sugary ones."

This time the other party answered very quickly, and Shi Bo opened his mouth to tease:

He was thoughtful...

In the middle, there was also a middle-aged man dressed completely differently from the villagers, probably... a partner?

Qin Yun also admitted that Brother Du and the others were lifting pigs, blowing air and scraping hair, and cleaning up such large door panels and bathing tubs, as well as the tools neatly arranged against the wall...

That was indeed true.

At this moment, he was relying entirely on his party spirit to barely suppress the urge to throw a tantrum and hope his granddaughter would get him some pork!

Lu Chuan habitually observed the details while guessing.
