Chapter 114 Will Old Friends Return?

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?"

After choosing a spot, Uncle Zhang, who was standing on the stand, replied without looking up, "Young master brought his own beef and mutton; he wants to barbecue it here."

Such a beautiful scene doesn't quite match the lively atmosphere of everyday life. Just as the woman was about to gently persuade him, Ah Chen continued, "I like barbecue. Brother Bai Ye, can I have a skewer later?"

"Of course! Let Xiaxia grill a few skewers that are mildly seasoned!"

"Okay, thanks a lot!"

The exquisitely made lunchbox was filled with sandwiches, boiled chicken breast, and a nutritious salad. It was light and nutritious, but the taste... was hard to describe.

The chicken breast was dry and tough. Even with salt and pepper, it was still fishy and unpalatable. Yunxia glanced at it from afar, patted her stomach, and said she needed to leave enough room for the delicious barbecue. She then cut open a piece of fruit, put on a sweet smile, and handed it to her to eat.

The beef and mutton were skewered in advance, and the charcoal had been placed in the charcoal. Everything was ready, except for... an ignition source!

"The owner said there are piles of wheat straw by the woods. Why don't I go and get some?"

"Shall I go with you?"

"No need, it's just a small matter, why would we need two people!" With that, he picked up his bamboo basket and walked into the depths of the crape myrtle forest.

In early August, despite the hot weather, the temperature in the mountains and forests was still quite good, and there were quite a few people who came to visit as before. The tourists were very considerate, each occupying their own little space and not disturbing each other.

"Linlin, Afeng, look here!"

Click! A woman in a floral dress, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, presses the shutter button!

"Dad, go check how the filming went!"

"What's wrong? My Linlin, don't you trust your own mother's cooking?"

"Mom, that's not what I meant. Dad... please explain for me!"

A bright and beautiful young girl, clinging to the young man's arm, swayed from side to side, acting coquettishly.

The man patted her head, his thin lips moving as he said something that made the girl stomp her feet, while the woman grinned from ear to ear.

What a harmonious family of three! It's too precious to disturb them, for fear of breaking the tranquil atmosphere. Of course, that is, the protagonist is not Yun Jianfeng, who has been missing for more than three years!

Yunxia gripped the bamboo basket tightly, veins bulging, and glared at the three of them with resentment. She felt deeply sorry for the original owner of the body. During the days when she was beaten, scolded, hungry, and cold, the original owner had hugged the pencil case given to her by her own father and wiped away countless tears!

And him? White shirt and wide-leg pants, hair slicked back, wife embracing on the left, daughter radiant on the right, the original bean sprout has probably long been forgotten.

He spat on the ground, cursed the scumbag under his breath, picked up his bamboo basket, and walked away in the opposite direction.

"Linlin, what are you looking at?" the man asked with a smile after kissing his wife.

"There, right there, there was a girl standing there who kept staring at us with resentful eyes. It was... creepy!"

The man pulled her into his arms, patted her back gently, and said tenderly, "Don't be afraid, Linlin. A happy family of three always attracts the envy of others!"

"Dad, Mom, with you two here, Linlin is not afraid of anything!"

Upon hearing this, the woman stepped forward and embraced the two of them. The family of three hugged for a long time before separating!

...

"Xiaxia, you... you're crying?"

The girl returned carrying a bamboo basket, lit a fire to light the charcoal, and set up the grill to roast the meat, all in one go. But she kept her head down the whole time and didn't say a word. Bai Ye was a little worried. He bent down to take a look and immediately frowned because her eyes were red and swollen. Anyone with eyes could tell that she had just had a good cry.

Yes, Yunxia hid behind the haystack and cried her heart out, not because of her 'biological father' abandonment, but because of the original owner of this body. She had waited so long with high expectations, only to die without knowing that her biological father had already married a beautiful wife and had a daughter. Whether she was his biological daughter or not was still up for debate, but if she was, Yun Jianfeng's level of scumbag behavior would be even higher.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky. I ran into three annoying hornets. Now... my skin is all red and swollen, and it's so uncomfortable."

"Wasps? Oh dear, Xiaxia, come on, Auntie will take you to the hospital. Getting stung by a wasp is no small matter; it can be fatal!"

The situation developed beyond expectations, and Yunxia was filled with regret. Why had she blurted out the word "wasp"?

“Aunt Liu, the crape myrtle forest is patrolled every day, so there shouldn’t be any aggressive wasps there. Perhaps she’s mistaken. Xiaxia, why don’t you describe the characteristics of the ‘wasp’ you saw?”

The girl understood immediately and quickly described the characteristics of an ordinary bee, saying that she hadn't been stung, but her eyes had been hit by its wings.

After listening, the woman patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death! If something had really happened to you, how could I explain it to Sister Wu?"

"Perfect timing! There's some ointment in the car. Uncle Zhang, you keep it warm while I take Xiaxia to apply the ointment!"

"Okay!"

They remained silent the whole way. After getting into the car, and seeing that the boy hadn't made a move, Yun Xia frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Where's the ointment?"

"I didn't bring any. I lied to them. If you don't want to say why you're crying, I won't press you. Take advantage of the fact that no one's around to calm yourself down!"

"Who's crying? My eyes were just dirty from those stinky bees, and my tear ducts automatically released some tear detergent!"

Upon hearing this, the young man chuckled and thought to himself, "No one can describe crying in such a refined and elegant way!"

"Hey, Bai Ye, are you secretly laughing?"

"No!"

If his mouth hadn't twitched, it would have been more believable. The girl rolled her eyes at him and took out a small mirror and some Tiger Balm (green liquid) from her bag.

Good heavens, my eyes are all swollen like fish eyes! I need to wipe them clean right away!

"Yunxia, ​​applying Tiger Balm will only make it hurt more!"

The girl ignored him, unscrewed the bottle cap, and applied the product directly. She didn't smell any pungent odor, and Bai Ye realized that he had misunderstood.

After wiping, Yunxia closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, pretending to doze off.

Bai Ye lowered his eyes slightly, staring intently at the 'medicated oil'. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

As they pretended, they actually fell asleep. Jiang An and Mei Qiu had to bang on the car window to wake them up.

"Sister Xiaxia, you're so embarrassing!"

That brat is becoming more and more like his brother, so annoying. I rubbed my eyes and looked around before realizing I was asleep on someone's shoulder. Luckily, I wasn't drooling, or I would have been too embarrassed to show my face.

"Sorry, does your shoulder hurt? Let me massage it for you!"

"No need, it's fine!"

"Brother Bai, Sister Yunxia, ​​the meat is ready, come down and eat!" Coal Ball spoke politely and was a man of good manners; it seemed Uncle Zhang had taught him very well.

"Okay, I'm logging off now!"

"Wow, Uncle Zhang, your cooking is pretty good!"

The meat chunks are large, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, savory and chewy, and you'll want a second one after eating one.

"It's because the young master bought good meat. Yun'er, although you've applied medicine, your eyes still look a little swollen. Leave the grilling to me!"

Applying the green liquid should heal my eyes before I go home, but if I stand next to the barbecue grill and get smoked all the time, who knows?

"Okay!"

After saying that, he grabbed a large handful of grilled meat skewers and walked towards the mat, giving each person four or five skewers.

"Oh, so this is what barbecue tastes like! Mom, can you make this often from now on?"

"Ah Chen, barbecue is delicious, but you can't overdo it. You're weak, and eating too much can easily cause internal heat. You'll get sores at the corners of your mouth, and you'll feel stinging even when you drink milk, let alone barbecue."
