“Don’t…” Zhou Yanshen ran around the courtyard with a few bags of gifts. “I’ll try to break this old habit of mine.”
“Stop right there!”
“I will only if you put down the bamboo stick first.”
Lin Kanglu was about to put it down.
However, when Zhou Yanshen stepped on the soil used to grow lilies, he chased after him with the bamboo stick again.
!!
When Zhou Yanshen met those intimidating eyes, he gave in. “We have a guest today. Give me some face.”
“Grandpa.” Sensing Zhou Yanshen’s pleading gaze, Lin Jiao went forward and grabbed his arm.
She introduced, “This is Pei Zhi.”
The moment Pei Zhi saw that face flushed with anger, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
He greeted politely and handed the gift box to Lin Kanglu. “This is a gift from me.”
Lin Kanglu stared at him for a long time before asking, “Are you from the Pei family in the east of the city?”
“Right.”
“Your father is Pei Zhen?”
Pei Zhi nodded. “Do you know him?”
“More than that.” Lin Kanglu placed his hand on his shoulder and smiled. “The last time I saw you, you were still in elementary school. I didn’t expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye.”
Pei Zhi was shocked. “No wonder you look familiar to me.” it turned out they had met before, but he had forgotten about it.
Lin Kanglu brought them to sit at the stone table and took two sips of the tea Lin Jiao poured. He asked, “How’s your father?”
“Not bad.” Pei Zhi was much less nervous. He picked up his teacup. “How do you know him?”
“We used to be in the same brigade.”
“During the war?”
“Yes.” Lin Kanglu recalled the times when they once fought together and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
“Then shouldn’t Pei Zhi call you uncle?” Zhou Yanshen asked.
“Of course uncle is the most appropriate.”
Pei Zhi smiled. “Yansheng, you should call me uncle too.”
Zhou Yanshen was speechless.
How could he have forgotten about that?
Zhou Yanshen couldn’t bring himself to laugh anymore. “I think we don’t have to be so strict about addresses.”
Lin Kanglu saw through him at a glance.
He only said, “Here under my roof, we do.”
“… Alright.”
Zhou Yanshen was as listless as a withered flower.
After chatting with Lin Kanglu for a while, it was time for the younglings to be ordered around. “Go and kill the fish in the kitchen first.”
“Just killing fish?”
“And a chicken too.”
“Then let Pei Zhi deal with the chicken.” Zhou Yanshen hated chasing chicken around.
In order to leave a good impression, Pei Zhi naturally did not refuse.
He followed Zhou Yanshen to the chicken coop in the backyard and looked at the hens that were pecking at the rice. For a moment, he was lost as to what to do.
“Which one?”
“Whichever one you catch.”
Zhou Yanshen kindly opened the coop for him.
He took out his phone and started recording. “You have to be fast, accurate, and ruthless when catching chickens. Don’t hesitate when you do it.”
“Okay.” Pei Zhi walked in.
He stared at a black chicken with its back facing him. After walking closer quietly, he suddenly reached out his hands.
