Chapter 20



"Chirp, what about Guagua?"

Dudu stared at the watermelon in Jiujiu's arms with his big eyes.

Lu Cijiu: No matter whether you look at the stars or not, let’s eat melons first!

So he happily invited the children to get on the jade bed and said, "Let's eat in the yard, it's a little dark though--" He was still thinking about finding a candle to light up when he saw Gong Xichao leisurely taking out the night pearl.

"Hey, it's bigger than this watermelon." Gong Xichao said as if he had just realized it.

Lu Cijiu: ??? Show off your wealth!

However, this was the first time he had seen a night-shining pearl that was bigger than a watermelon. He didn't care about Gong Xichao's reserved and noble behavior and secretly showed off. He praised it exaggeratedly: "Wow! This pearl is so big! The whole yard is bright. I don't even need to turn on the light bulb. I wonder how much it is worth?"

"It's just a lighting fixture." Gong Xichao was pleased by the human's attitude, and he became a sage who was not interested in money and vulgar things, and got on the jade bed.

Lu Cijiu had expected the jade bed to be cold, but it felt warm to the touch, refreshingly cool and moist. The texture wasn't too hard to bite my arms or legs, but it was very comfortable. He didn't know what kind of jade it was made of.

After the watermelon was cut, the four cubs sat in a row, holding the crescent-shaped watermelon and taking small bites.

"It's sweet." Dudu said softly with his cheeks puffed out.

The watermelon juice was all over the corners of his mouth from chewing on the tail, and it was red. His eyes were drawn up into a line, and he said happily: "Chirp, this watermelon is so sweet, come and eat it."

He didn't know if other foxes were cunning or not, but his own little tail must be an optimistic and supportive player. Lu Cijiu nibbled on a watermelon. Mm, it was really sweet.

The well water is chilled, cool and sandy, and it tastes like summer.

Haishan is far away from the city. When I look up, the stars are bright and there is a gentle breeze in the yard. Most importantly, there are no mosquitoes in the yard! Maybe the house is full of monsters, so the mosquitoes dare not rush over. This leisurely environment is so comfortable that it makes me sleepy.

The cubs staggered around in a group on the road, bidding farewell to the old year. Dalong rubbed his eyes and said sleepily, "Jiujiu hasn't told his story yet."

"Okay, tell me a story. Let me think about it."

Lu Cijiu took a blanket and wrapped the cubs. After more than a month of feeding, the cubs had some meat on their bodies. Their soft little bodies still smelled of milk when they leaned against him.

Since conditions improved, the institute has continued to breastfeed. At first, we bought pure milk, the kind that comes in boxes. Later, Lu Cijiu heard Wang Yue'e say that children still need to drink milk powder. Her daughter Yueyue drank milk powder until she was three years old, and her skin is so white and tender...

Of course Lu Jiujiu is for the kids!

"The Ghost Festival is coming soon, so today I'm going to tell you a story about the gates of hell opening wide."

It's August 8th on the Gregorian calendar, and there are still ten days until the Zhongyuan Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. In the past, on this day, my grandfather would make his own offerings of winter clothes, gold ingots, yellow paper, and copper coins, and offer them on the roadside to the wandering spirits who couldn't be reincarnated...

"Well, I'll do it with Jiujiu."

Dalong's voice was unclear and he was very sleepy.

Lu Cijiu touched Dalong's head. He didn't know if he was too tired today or what, but when he put his hand on it, Dalong's two dragon legs came out——

"I didn't do anything, really!" Lu Cijiu was confused.

Gong Xichao was very calm: "It started to transform little by little. I don't know who that broken dragon is looking for. This little dragon is weak."

"?" Lu Cijiu was puzzled. He had never asked about Dalong's family situation since Brother Diao came.

Gong Xichao glanced at the human. "How foolish!" he said, "It's not just this dragon. The other three cubs also have impure bloodlines. One of their parents must be human, which is why they haven't been able to transform yet."

Lu Cijiu:!!!

I, I come together, it turns out that humans and dragons can fall in love.

He was looking at the four cubs in his arms. They weren't just human-dragons, they were also human-foxes, human-phoenixes, and humans? His imagination was running wild. He glanced at the eagle and muttered quietly, "That person and Kunpeng—"

Gong Xichao's ears burned when he heard this. This human actually wanted to be with him—"Human, don't even think about it."

"I'm just curious, nothing else." Lu Cijiu reacted and quickly explained. What he said just now was indeed not nice, and it was no wonder that the eagle got angry. He said seriously, "Really, I'm just saying it."

The human was rejected by him, looking at him pitifully, and pretending to be strong, which was really pitiful. Gong Xichao thought, forget it, it was all because he was too handsome and strong that the human wanted to have a cub with him, and said mercifully: "I believe you."

Just believe me, believe me, what does that mean?

Lu Cijiu looked over and saw Gong Xichao waving his sleeves and going back. His back looked a little anxious. Could he be angry?

But doesn’t that mean there’s no other meaning in trusting me?

Alas, the heart of a carve is as thin as a needle in the sea.

The next morning, Lu Cijiu prepared milk powder for the cubs. After the four got up and washed, they sat on the jade bed in the yard, holding their bottles and staring blankly at the milk.

"Should we put this bed away?" Lu Cijiu thought it was quite expensive and he felt bad about it being exposed to the wind and rain in the yard.

Yesterday, the human hinted that he wanted to be with him - Gong Xichao immediately stopped thinking, feeling that the temperature was a little hot, and glanced at the human. He thought that the human must be sad after he rejected him, so he should coax the human.

Although he doesn't like humans, humans are happy with him after all.

"Just leave it there."

Lu Cijiu looked distressed. Such a big jade was smashed by this wasteful son!

Gong Xichao was paying close attention, and when he saw humans were sad, he was very confused. He had already given in and shown mercy to humans, so why were humans still not happy?

You are really asking for more!

Lu Cijiu went to make breakfast, thinking about building a frame so that the jade bed would not be exposed to the sun and rain. However, it would cost money. Oh, forget it. It was rare for his eldest son to have a hobby of gazing at the stars, so he might as well consider it as supporting his dream.

The eagle looks majestic, but I didn’t expect that it has such a romantic hobby.

I have to edit the video today and contact someone to set up the tent...

"Human."

Lu Cijiu was cooking when her eldest son suddenly came in. She was stunned for a moment, but before she could say anything, she heard Diao Gao say coldly, "It's not impossible in the future."

"?"

"Look at the stars." Gong Xichao was in a slightly happy mood after completing the grace for mankind. He was truly a peerless demon.

Kitchen Road Farewell: ???

Diao really loves looking at the stars.

Dad supports support.

After breakfast, Lu Cijiu went to town to buy yellow paper, gold leaf, incense, candles, and paper for paper clothes. He would make the paste himself. And then there was the eldest son's dream of smashing the starry sky—building a tent.

There are paper-making shops in town, but tents are a bit difficult to find. Lu Cijiu wanted to make it look nicer. The courtyard house has a very ancient feel when it's decorated, and we couldn't ruin that feeling. Stainless steel or plastic tents wouldn't work. Finally, I called the furniture store owner.

The owner of the furniture business knew a private renovation contractor. Upon hearing Lu Cijiu's request, he enthusiastically introduced him to a contractor. Lu Cijiu contacted him and explained his requirements. The contractor responded with, "Oh, I understand. I've installed this in wealthy villas before. It's deconstructed wood. I've got pictures for you. It's rectangular, with a solid tempered glass center that's rainproof and lets in lots of light. The sides are hollowed out for growing grapes..."

I added her on WeChat and when I saw her photos, she was really beautiful.

Asked about the price.

Lu Cijiu: ...My eldest son may lose his dream.

[Boss, how about installing it? This needs to be custom-made to size, so it will take at least ten days.]

【……Do. 】

Lu Cijiu: I am such a good father.

The foreman was nearby. After Lu Cijiu finished buying yellow paper, incense, candles, and other things, he waited for a while before the foreman drove over in a van. The two of them greeted each other. When the foreman saw what Lu Cijiu was holding, he was a little surprised and asked, "What's this?"

"The Ghost Festival is coming soon." Lu Cijiu did not explain in detail. Some people nowadays don't believe in these things.

The contractor nodded. "Yes, I didn't expect that. You look so young, but my son doesn't believe in these things. The traditions of the older generation must be preserved. Every year when the gates of hell open, we burn paper money and clothes for our ancestors. Otherwise, they won't receive money for clothes in the underworld and will starve and freeze..."

Back at the shelter, the contractor measured the area, paid a deposit, and said, "It will be done in seven or eight days."

Lu Bijiu saw the man off and said, "Please call before you come."

"Okay." The contractor didn't think much about it.

After lunch, Lu Cijiu played with the four cubs for a while, coaxed the cubs to take a nap, and he also took a nap. In the afternoon, he edited the video - which made him very angry because it was all the eldest son's fault for making trouble.

Cut off Gong Xichao as much as possible.

Lu Cijiu uploaded the video to Weibo.

In the next few days, Lu Cijiu started to fold gold ingots and make paper clothes. The four cubs were very interested, so Lu Cijiu taught them how to do it together since it was still early.

That day, the contractor called and said that the shelf was ready and asked if it could be delivered tomorrow.

Of course Lu Cijiu had no objection. He was just worried that the jade bed would be cracked by the sun these days!

Send it quickly.

The next day, the workers came and asked Gong Xichao to put away the jade bed temporarily. Gong Xichao knew that humans had spent money to build the frame just for him to watch the stars, and he was in a good mood these days.

The scaffolding was built sturdily and it took an entire afternoon to build it until it was dark.

Lu Cijiu gave him some fruit and took a closer look at the young worker, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old. The boy was very thin and dark. "Did someone in your family die?"

"How do you know?" the boy asked. His grandmother was gone. His parents were divorced, and he had been raised by his grandmother since childhood. He couldn't keep up with school, so he started working early, hoping to earn money to provide for his grandmother. But...

Lu Cijiu said: "Be careful not to climb up in the next two days, and wear a helmet if you do climb up."

The boy was a little confused and nodded randomly, not knowing whether he had heard it or not. Instead, the foreman glanced at Lu Cijiu a little longer, and when he left, he said something more: "Xiaogang, be careful recently."

In two days, it will be the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, which is the Ghost Festival.

The contractor took on a new job, this time to renovate a shop. There was a second-floor ceiling, and the shop had a ceiling height of five meters. He pushed a ladder and someone said, "Xiaogang, you go up."

"oh."

Xiaogang usually climbed up and down the ladder to install the chandelier wiring. He was young and thought of it as a trade to learn. Xiaogang was halfway up the ladder when the foreman came in and saw him. He remembered what the young boss had said two days ago and frowned and said, "Get down. Let someone else do it."

"Brother Wang, I can do it." Xiaogang had long forgotten not to climb up.

The foreman said helplessly: "You have to wear a hard hat, too."

Someone handed it to Xiaogang and couldn't help wondering when Lao Wang became so careful. He didn't tell Xiaogang about it before, and he even specifically reminded him. He really treated him like his own son.

Before he could finish his muttering, Xiaogang climbed to the top, but the original ladder suddenly broke for some reason.

The contractor was frightened out of his wits.
