Chapter 293 The Little Girl with Golden Reinforcements
Zuo Shan walked to the door, just as he was about to peek through the peephole to see who it was, when he heard a woman's voice from outside: "I am Kong Lan, and I have brought my Lingling to visit our new neighbors."
Zuo Shan hesitated for two seconds, then opened the door.
Actually, she didn't really like people who were so outgoing, but considering that her son would be studying here in the future and would need to make friends, and that Kong Lan had at least reminded her that morning that he wasn't a bad person, she figured it would be good to get to know him.
"Ms. Kong Lan, Miss Lingling, please come in!" Zuo Shan politely ushered them in.
Kong Lan was holding the hand of a little girl who looked about five or six years old. The girl had soft, lustrous chestnut hair, and when the sunlight from the corridor window shone on it, it seemed as if every strand of hair was shining with a warm glow.
Her chestnut eyes darted back and forth, as if filled with curiosity about the whole world. Even though she was just a little child, the focus and seriousness with which she looked at people seemed to convey a message:
"I'm not a child, I'm very mature and experienced, nothing can escape my eyes!"
Zuo Shan was completely charmed by her adorable appearance. After giving birth to A Chen, although he was very smart and sensible, she couldn't help but think whenever he was naughty: how wonderful it would be if she had a soft and cute daughter who would run into her arms and act spoiled!
The girl in front of her, Kong Lingling, just happened to be the perfect fit for her aesthetic preferences. She was so captivated by her beauty that she wanted to hug her tightly, pinch her cheeks, and kiss her!
However, she still managed to restrain herself from having any mischievous thoughts, lest the little girl mistake her for a strange aunt.
"This must be Miss Lingling. Come, come, get to know our Achen. We're all classmates, so let's help each other out in the future!"
Zuo Shan finally couldn't resist and squeezed her little hand as he pulled her inside. Hmm, it was indeed soft and fluffy, and felt wonderful!
Kong Lan entered the house and spotted the food on the table. She laughed and said, "Haha, it seems we arrived just in time. You haven't started eating yet, so I'll add another dish for you."
As she spoke, she took out a tray from her spatial button, on which was a soup bowl of stewed fish.
"Let me tell you, this is a rare fourth-tier crocodile meat, it's incredibly delicious! Didn't you see how many people were lining up in the academy cafeteria at noon today? Many intermediate and advanced students came here to get their food."
I arrived early, and seeing so many people queuing behind me, I just ordered four portions. And guess what? After I finished, a sign came up at the window saying each person could only get a maximum of two portions! Hahaha!
Kong Lan spoke vividly, while her daughter Lingling looked speechlessly at the sky, clearly exasperated by Kong Lan's exaggerated rambling.
"Thank you for remembering us. How much is this crocodile meat? I'll transfer the money to you!" Zuo Shan said, raising his wristwatch.
It wasn't that she was being petty; it was just that food in the wasteland was too precious. Even though most people had achieved basic sustenance in recent years, fourth-tier mutated beast meat was still very valuable.
Although crocodile meat is nothing special to her, after all, Xiaobai once gave her a whole adult black caiman, the meat of which weighed about 8 tons.
Not only was she tired of the food, but Xiaobai and Matt also tried all sorts of dishes, including braised, steamed, stewed, and fish hot pot.
But since her neighbor kindly brought it over, she couldn't very well refuse.
Upon hearing that she wanted to pay, Kong Lan's face immediately darkened: "Are you looking down on me, your neighbor?"
"No, no, absolutely not! I just felt that the crocodile meat was too expensive and I was too embarrassed to eat it for free," Zuo Shan quickly explained.
"Aunt Zuo Shan, Teacher Lan Lan, you adults are such a hassle! Why don't we all just eat together, you eat our food and we eat yours?" Little girl Kong Lingling suddenly said impatiently.
"Hehe, yes, yes, my Miss Lingling is the smartest!" Kong Lan quickly laughed.
"Okay, please take a seat!" Zuo Shan quickly offered his seat.
Ah Chen consciously took out two chairs from the space button. In order to save space, he had previously taken away two of the four chairs in the room.
Upon seeing this, Kong Lan couldn't help but praise, "Your young master Chen is so sensible and considerate! He helped you get food in the cafeteria this morning, and I didn't expect him to help with housework at home!"
Miss Lingling, you should definitely learn a lot from this young man in the future!
“We’re all classmates, why call him ‘little brother’?” Kong Lingling rolled her eyes at Achen.
“Exactly, I don’t want a sister with a runny nose following me around all day, and who cries all the time!” Achen retorted without hesitation.
"Zuo Chen, I formally challenge you! After dinner, we'll meet in the ring. Do you dare to accept the challenge?" Kong Lingling suddenly exploded.
"Okay!" Ah Chen replied with just one word, proudly raising her chin.
These days at the old house, the two old men train him every day, and they also make sure to teach him some ways to get along with others.
Evan said: When you get to school, try to be more considerate of female classmates.
Caesar said: When pursuing a girl, you should start from the beginner level, otherwise by the time you reach the advanced level, the girl you like will already be someone else's child's mother.
But the first girl he met was very impolite. Not only did she refuse to call him "little brother," she also rolled her eyes at him, so he naturally couldn't help but be sarcastic.
He thought he could make her cry with just one sentence, but she actually challenged him to a fight!
Ah Chen: Very good, you've piqued my interest!
The interaction between the two children completely stunned Zuo Shan.
How did this adorable, soft, and cute little girl suddenly turn into a tough, muscular girl?
And her brat, why doesn't he know how to give way to a young lady? Where did his gentlemanly manners go?
She was even thinking that she could cultivate a relationship with him from a young age so that he could become her daughter-in-law when he grew up.
As a result, her brat insisted on treating such a cute little girl like a brother he could beat up.
Sigh! This kind of straight-laced boy will probably end up a bachelor when he grows up!
Kong Lan waved her hand dismissively and said, "Sister Zuo Shan, don't worry. When my Miss Lingling is at home, she never goes more than three days without getting into a fight."
Oh, but I forgot to ask you, your young master Chen seems quite refined, has he never been in a fight before? If so, I'll have to tell Miss Lingling to go easy on him next time!
Left fan:......
Who are these people? They seemed like friendly, outgoing neighbors who brought home a cute, adorable little girl, and their son suddenly had a childhood sweetheart... but then...
Oh well, children and grandchildren have their own destinies; she can't worry about that anymore.
Zuo Shan channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, beckoning to Kong Lan, "Come, come, Sister Kong Lan, try my cooking! Eat as much as you like!"
"Oh my! Sister Zuo Shan, your cooking skills are really amazing, hiss! It's so delicious! I'll come here to eat here often from now on, don't find me annoying!" Kong Lan was so overwhelmed by the aroma that she accidentally bit her tongue.
Kong Lingling was originally a picky eater, but she was also impressed by Zuo Shan's cooking skills. Then she saw Zuo Chen eating very casually, clearly taking such delicious food for granted.
She couldn't help but feel jealous. Why didn't her teacher, Lanlan, have such good cooking skills?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely a few times.
A-Chen, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: ...
