Chapter 346 Fireflies (1)

Zhao Li wiped her mouth after eating watermelon and asked curiously: "Brother Ruan, where did you buy this watermelon? Why aren't the ones I bought as sweet as this?"

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

Well, there was no way to answer this question. He could only say vaguely: "Last time I went to the market, I saw someone selling them, so I bought two. You thought they were delicious, so you took one back. There happened to be one left."

"I'm so sorry, there's only one left. You can keep it for yourself."

"No problem, you send us things every day, and we give you a watermelon and you refuse to accept it. That's too polite." Ruan Jianguo said, and he went to move the watermelon into the house.

In fact, all these watermelons were delivered by the long white worm, almost one a day, without interruption. At first, he was a little afraid of the worm because it was really huge, but fortunately, it seemed to be really human. It probably knew that they were afraid, so it would leave after delivering the watermelons without staying.

He watched for a month or so, and gradually got used to it. Sometimes he even thought that guy looked pretty good.

Ruan Jianguo said so, so Zhao Li naturally couldn't say anything, and happily took the watermelon.

But before leaving, she hugged Ruan Jiaojiao again and was reluctant to let go. She kissed her little face vigorously, not complaining about the heat: "Jiaojiao, aren't you going to your godmother's house to play? Godmother tells you, there is a refrigerator in your godmother's house. There are a lot of ice cream and soda in it. You will definitely like it when you go there."

Refrigerators were really rare in that era. Zhao Li spent a lot of effort to buy one. When she bought it, she also thought that she could freeze some ice cream, popsicles, soda, etc., and then tempt Ruan Jiaojiao to stay at her house for a few days, so that she could hug the soft little girl to sleep.

But obviously, this temptation was not strong enough for Ruan Jiaojiao, and she still refused.

After they moved to the new building, the ice cream seller came every now and then, so she could have popsicles and ice cream whenever she wanted.

Seeing this, Zhao Li's disappointment was self-evident, and she could only leave dejectedly.

At night.

There were two electric fans in the house, one in Ruan Jiaojiao and Ruan Linshi's room, and the other in Ruan Jun and Ruan Jie's room. The fat boy slept here at night to use the electric fan.

Ruan Linshi was afraid that Xu Xu would be hot, so she asked Xu Xu to sleep on the floor in their room, but he refused. He left the back mountain as soon as it got dark, and no one knew where he went.

However, knowing that he was very capable and that the front and back mountains were his territory, Ruan Linshi was no longer worried and took Ruan Jiaojiao to bed early to enjoy the feeling of the electric fan.

Ruan Jiaojiao still had no sleepiness today. She squinted her eyes and talked to Ruan Linshi in a casual manner. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard a sound of something falling in the backyard, and then someone knocked on the door gently.

Ruan Linshi knew that Xu Xu had returned, and immediately got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ruan Linshi saw him holding a shiny bottle and running towards her room before she could see him clearly. She muttered in surprise and locked the door again.

And inside the house.

Ruan Jiaojiao was feeling extremely sleepy when a person suddenly appeared in front of her, holding a bottle in his hand like a treasure, and handed it to her with an expectant look.

Ruan Jiaojiao was a little confused, and stared at the bottle for several seconds before she could figure out what was inside.
