Chapter 5 Transmigrated as a Little Bitter Gourd 5
After the funeral, the bowls, chopsticks, and stools borrowed from the family had to be returned.
When he saw his eldest grandson carrying a stool, Grandpa Ji called out, "Go inside and talk to your parents. You haven't seen them in so long, haven't you been missing them?"
Ji Huaizhi shook his head: "Grandpa, they don't want me."
"My child, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, but one of them will always be the other," said Grandpa Ji, standing under the dim yellow light.
"Don't take some things to heart in the future, so as not to get hurt."
"Grandpa will go to the city with you and stay for about ten days or half a month before coming back."
As Ji Huaizhi worked, he spoke, "Grandpa, what if I get bullied over there?"
"Those are your parents and your brother, how could they bully you?"
Ji Huaizhi said nothing more.
Anyway, it's all in the past, and it's hard to come back.

"What do we do now? Your dad is coming over too. How will we manage?"
Tang Juan complained.
Ji Dong was also annoyed, having lost face in front of his relatives.
"Just live your life as you normally would. That's my dad!"
Tang Juan: "Don't I know that's your dad?"
"Alright, don't you know my dad? He won't stay long, he'll be clamoring to come back after a month at most."
"You really have no sense of propriety when it comes to your words," Ji Dong pinched his youngest son's nose.
"Dad, I don't want them to live in my house," Ji Xianli said, feeling wronged.
“That’s your brother, you’re still our good son.”
Tang Juan also rubbed her son's head: "That's right, we raised you ourselves."
Ji Dong sighed, "I wonder what they'll say about me on their way back."
“I told you not to keep this a secret, but it's turned into such an awkward situation. My older sister's words were so awful.”
Tang Juan rolled her eyes: "Do you think I want this? Isn't it because I'm afraid they'll cause us a lot of trouble when they come to the city?"
"Then they ask me to borrow money and help them make money. Isn't that annoying?"
"And now?" Ji Dong shrugged. "It's a complete mess. What will people think of us?"
"I was afraid that someone would try to take advantage of me, and my sister even made sarcastic remarks about it."
Tang Juan wanted to argue with him, but then she saw him get up.
"where did you go?"
"Where could they go? Didn't you hear my dad and his wife still working outside?"

When Grandpa Ji passed away, he entrusted all the family's crops to his daughter.
Let them eat whatever they can.
To avoid wasting it by letting it rot in the ground.
They even gave them two of their chickens and ducks so she could come over and feed them.
The old man was about to take two more to the city to kill and eat, but Tang Juan's disgusted look left him at a loss.
I'm not sure whether to take the chickens and ducks or not.
Seeing this, Ji Huaizhi said, "Grandpa, why don't you go and chat with Grandpa Liu and the others?"
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, so let me, my aunt, my parents, and I come and help."
Grandpa Ji nodded.
Thinking that they wouldn't be gone for too long anyway, the main thing was to have Ji Yun watch over the chickens and ducks.
I didn't expect that he had just left.
Immediately afterward, Ji Huaizhi whispered in his aunt's ear, "Aunt, you take one chicken and one duck, and sell the rest."
Ji Yun was shocked: "What?"
After hearing what his nephew said, Ji Yun felt that this brat had gone to great lengths to keep his grandfather from coming back.
"If I wait until you leave before I start selling, your grandfather will definitely scold me to death."
The group, carrying large and small bags, got into the car and left.
My great-grandfather and aunt also came to see us off.
There were also other aunts and uncles.
"Ji Dong'er has made something of himself; he's taking his father to the city to enjoy a comfortable life."
"Yeah, tell your dad not to come back to farm anymore, let him enjoy his son's retirement outside. It's good that your mom passed away so early."
Ji Dong smiled awkwardly: "Everything is still up to my dad. I'll come back to see you when I get tired of staying in the city."
Ji Huaizhi poked his head out of the car window and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa; goodbye, Aunt; goodbye, Uncles, Uncles, and Aunts."
“If my grandpa is comfortable in the city, he won’t come back. He wants to watch me go to school. If he comes back, it must be because he’s not comfortable there.”
"Oh my, look at Huaizhi, he's so clever and shrewd!" everyone laughed.
"yes."
Goodbye, goodbye.
Ji Dong was speechless. What was this brat saying?
Release the handbrake, shift into gear, and accelerate away.
Tang Juan sat in the passenger seat with a dark expression and didn't say a word.
Grandpa Ji was initially a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but Ji Huaizhi chatted with him the whole time.
Ask him if he's thirsty or needs to use the restroom.
His filial piety made Ji Dong take a sidelong glance.
Filial and obedient children are always lovable: "Has Huaizhi always been so obedient?"
"Yes, she's very well-behaved at home." Grandpa Ji's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
"It's better for you two to raise the child properly."
Tang Juan turned her head and glanced at Ji Xianli, who was sleeping.
Ji Dong laughed and said, "You and Mom's parenting is flawless. My husband and I might not even be as good as you two."
Old Master Ji felt the same way.
This grandson is rude, selfish towards his older brother, and his words are annoying.
“Xianli has been spoiled by us since he was a child, and he has a bad temper. Sometimes he causes us a lot of headaches at home.”
Ji Dong said this, but there was clearly a smile in his eyes.
"If we want something, we have to get it; we really have no other choice."
Grandpa Ji pursed his lips and tenderly patted his eldest grandson's head.
Tang Juan then spoke up: "Is our son really as bad as you say?"
"That's a child's nature, isn't that wonderful? He just doesn't know how to please adults."
That means Ji Huaizhi knows how to curry favor with adults.
The air inside the car grew cold, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.
However, Ji Dong, oblivious to the situation, didn't react immediately and instead spoke affectionately to his eldest son:
“From now on, Huaizhi will be living with her younger brother. You must take good care of him. Although your brother has a bit of a temper, he's not a bad person. Be more tolerant of him.”
Ji Huaizhi's clear, childlike voice asked him in return:
How can I give in to him?
Ji Dong, gripping the steering wheel and looking ahead, didn't understand: "Huh?"
“What do I have to give him? I have nothing, and I’ve never lived with you. You all love him, so what do I have to give him?”
Ji Huaizhi's words made Tang Juan turn her head: "What do you mean by that?"
"That's your brother. Are you jealous of your brother?"
Old Master Ji spoke up: "Is he wrong?"
"You're telling him to give in to his younger brother right from the start? He's been giving in to his parents for so many years. Do you really think Huaizhi would bully his younger brother?"
"Dad, that's not what I meant," Ji Dong sighed.
