Chapter 722 How could someone be like her?

So he sat on the stone bench, touching the patterns on it, and said, "Tingyun, play a game of chess with Grandpa."

"I'll go get the chess pieces."

Gu Tingyun nodded, went to the hamster's room as if she knew the way well, took out the chess box, and sat down opposite the old man.

The two players each took black and white pieces and began to play chess.

Helian Jiao and Gu Siyu sat on either side watching, but the little princess was always restless.

She extended her fair index finger and lightly tapped the chessboard, saying in a crisp voice, "Grandpa Gu, you play here."

Grandpa Gu left the white piece there; he had originally planned to take this step as well.

Helian Jiao then instructed Gu Tingyun, "Gu Tingyun, get down here!"

"Okay." Gu Tingyun placed the black stone in the position she specified.

The grandfather and granddaughter followed the little princess's instructions without feeling disturbed.

The little girl only has a short attention span; let her have some fun.

Gu Siyu glared at Helian Jiao with displeasure. A true gentleman observes chess without speaking, but how could she act like this!

She had originally intended to say that, but then she remembered that she had unilaterally decided to stop talking to her baby, so she could only painfully hold it in.

Fortunately, Helian Jiao was really impatient; she ran to the kitchen to watch the adults cook in less than three minutes.

Only then did the grandfather and grandson concentrate on starting their formal game of chess.

Helian Jiao moved closer to Aunt Wu, her eyes sparkling with energy, and asked, "What are we having for lunch?"

Aunt Wu said with a smile, "They're all things that my little one likes to eat: braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried mutton, and sweet rice balls in fermented rice wine."

Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao immediately exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Then I'll help too!"

Lu Xiaofen took a bag of peanuts and a clean plate from the table and handed them to her: "Go to the yard and peel these peanuts. We'll fry them up later to have with our drinks."

"good!"

Helian Jiao came out of the kitchen with some things in her hands. Seeing Gu Siyu sitting alone looking bored, she said, "Gu Siyu, come and peel peanuts with me."

"Why?!" Gu Siyu finally couldn't help but ask.

She's not someone to be trifled with!

Helian Jiao said matter-of-factly, "These peanuts are for everyone to eat together later!"

Gu Siyu: ……

She really wanted to say that she wouldn't eat, but then she thought that even if she didn't eat, her parents, grandfather, and brother would still have to eat.

So he reluctantly walked over and started peeling peanuts.

Helian Jiao had already peeled a peanut, tossed it into the air, and caught it right away with her open mouth, her rosy little lips moving.

They peeled and ate.

Seeing her peeling and eating at the same time, Gu Siyu simply snatched all the peels from her and peeled them herself.

Otherwise, she would have eaten the whole plate.

Helian Jiao wasn't annoyed. She waited quietly until the garlic was peeled, then turned and ran into the kitchen, bringing out two cloves of garlic and handing them to her: "You like peeling things, so I've peeled them all for you."

Gu Siyu jumped up in anger: "Who likes peeling things?!"

Helian Jiao blinked innocently: "Then why were you so eager to peel it just now?"

Gu Siyu choked for a moment, then said angrily, "I'm just afraid you glutton will eat all the peanuts! If you eat them all, what will we eat?"

"Then I'll take it back."

Helian Jiao wasn't angry; she turned around and prepared to put the garlic back.

She also doesn't like peeling garlic; it's too pungent!

Gu Siyu stopped her, saying, "Don't take it away, I'll peel it! But I'll only peel these two cloves, I won't peel any more!"

After all, she's already brought it, and she also helps with household chores at home.
