Chapter 895: Chapter 895: Little Fatty’s Hellish Life (10)
When Xiu Xi returned, he was herding a group of livestock, a scene Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t seen for many years, and it still felt quite stunning to witness it again.
Also returning with him was Xiaobai, all dirty, as if he had rolled in the mud, hanging his head low, looking rather wronged.
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him and looked at Xiu Xi questioningly: “What’s wrong with Xiaobai?” It felt like a mischievous child had been out playing and then dragged back ho by parents.
Xiu Xi did not answer, but simply handed her a bright red, large fruit.
Under the dim light behind her, Ruan Jiaojiao struggled to make it out, only to discover that it was a huge pogranate, a very large one that required both hands to barely hold it.
“Wow, are there pogranate trees on the front mountain now?” Ruan Jiaojiao was delighted; although Xiaobai had brought back plenty of fruits over the years, he had never brought back a pogranate, especially not one so large.
Just the other day she watched a news report about a fruit farr who had started growing pogranates, and the sight of those bright red pogranates hanging from the trees on TV made her incredibly envious. She even ntioned to Xiu Xi that she wished she had a pogranate tree, and unexpectedly, he picked one for her on his trip to the front mountain.
“Brother Xiu, is the pogranate tree located far away? I saw on TV last ti that the best ti to transplant pogranate trees is in late autumn. Why not move one here to plant in this courtyard, then we could have pogranates to eat.”
There were already several types of fruit trees in the courtyard, but they were still young and not yet bearing fruit.
“No problem, I’ll have Monkey bring it over tomorrow, it’s too late today,” said Xiu Xi, with an expression that made it seem like a trivial issue.
“…” Ruan Jianguo.
Watching Xiu Xi, Ruan Jianguo suddenly felt like the Ruanlin Family had been wrong—he wasn’t the rich one, surely it was Xiu Xi right in front of him who was the real wealthy man! Just look at the casual way he said ‘no problem’, how rich he must be!!!
It was getting late, so Ruan Jianguo hurriedly packed up, placing the wild chickens and hares into burlap sacks and tossing them in the back of the car. As darkness fell, the four of them and the wolf returned to the town, arriving when it was completely dark and the two people who had followed them to the town had already left.
Ruan Jianguo watched the three of them and the wolf go upstairs, and after the lights in the house were turned on, he drove to the city.
Not long after Ruan Jiaojiao and her group arrived ho, they received a call from Zhao Li, who suggested that since they had just co back from the countryside, they should co directly to the Lu Family’s house for dinner.
Now the two families were as close as one, and they didn’t stand on ceremony. Besides, there were only Zhao Li and Lu Zishu and her mother at the Zhao Family’s house, and the addition of their group of three would make it even livelier, so without any hesitation, they went to the Lu Family’s house for dinner.
After dinner, they stayed together to eat fruit and watch TV, it was almost nine o’clock before they headed back.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao got ho, she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer. Exhausted, she casually washed her face and was about to lie down when she ca out of the bathroom and saw, through groggy eyes, a big head hanging outside her window, swinging like a swing, which startled her so much, she almost scread.
“Xiaobai! You scared !”
“Hiss hiss…” Little Cutie, don’t be afraid.
Xiaobai, who had been hanging and playing there, saw Ruan Jiaojiao clutching her chest, her face slightly pale, as if really frightened by him, imdiately felt guilty and jumped in through the window.
