He tricked the villain into calling his father over because he suspected the man's face. Now that it's been confirmed, Jinbo grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
Gao Dan's gaze fell on the servant in his arms, who now seemed a little guilty:
"Daddy~"
"Stealing food?"
cough.
The little guy paused, unsure whether to nod in agreement or deny it as before. A fierce internal struggle raged within him, but he finally nodded.
"Um."
You can't lie to your dad.
The little guy can lie to anyone else, but he can't lie to his parents. He has his own bottom line and principles.
However, these bottom lines and principles will gradually grow as one gets older.
The little guy has now confessed, and he feels no pressure at all. Anyway, with his dad around, he's not afraid.
"Daddy, that twisted dough stick...it's so delicious. Tuanzi wants more. Uncle said he'll call Daddy over so Tuanzi can have some more."
Gao Dan hummed in agreement and placed the little guy on the ground.
Uncle Jin was already handing the little man a small bowl filled with about half a bowl of fried dough twists.
"Eat."
Tuanzi didn't reach out to take it immediately; instead, he habitually looked up at his father.
"Don't eat too much, eat with Xiao Jiu."
These fried dough twists are already quite dry, and if you roll them in oil for a second, eating too many will definitely make your throat hurt.
The little man nodded repeatedly, took the bowl, and ran away quickly.
Uncle Jin, however, stopped laughing and became much more serious:
"You wrote to me before asking about that old man in Yejia Village, what's wrong? Is there something going on with that old man?"
"No, it's just to confirm some things."
"That old man was quite pitiful. He died and we couldn't even find his body. But I heard that his family is looking for him and they'll be coming to Yejia Village in the next few days."
Gao Dan was genuinely unaware of this: "He has relatives?"
Jinbo nodded: "Of course he has. I heard he had two sons back then, but things were too chaotic at the time, and no one knew where they were assigned. Don't worry too much about it. That old man is not simple."
Gao Dan laughed:
"What does this have to do with me? Don't worry, it's nothing. You go ahead with your work, I'll go in first."
Gao Dan didn't care much about the things behind the scenes. If it weren't for his young wife's connection with the old man, he wouldn't have written to ask Jinbo about these things.
Now, she has decided to break free from that identity and live a peaceful life from now on. Naturally, she has no desire to know anything about that old man anymore.
Here, the little dumpling, carrying a bowl, found Xiao Jiu:
"Brother Xiao Jiu, eat, delicious twisted dough sticks."
Xiao Jiu was still a child after all; his eyes lit up at the mention of delicious food, and he quickly came over.
"What's this?"
"Twisted dough sticks!"
As the little man explained, he pinched a piece of meat and fed it to Xiao Jiu.
I took a few crunchy bites:
"It's quite delicious."
"Mmm, it's so delicious! Brother Xiao Jiu, let's go eat over there."
"good."
The two little ones, as if by unspoken agreement, found a secluded corner and began to eat, taking turns taking bites.
Gao Dan walked in and went to his wife's side. Ye Wanying could tell that the man had something to say, so she naturally took his hand, stepped back a few paces, and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
“You mentioned your master before, the old man from Ye Family Village.”
"Yes, that's right."
Gao Dan glanced around and continued, "The old man's family is coming; they'll be here in the next few days."
Upon hearing this news, Ye Wanying suddenly remembered something:
"Grandma Tan is here?" he asked doubtfully.
Gao Dan frowned:
Who is Grandma Tan?
Why have I never heard this from my wife?
