Chapter 116: Old Friend
Putting aside the fact that the monkey trainer originally wanted food, Grandma Bai's attitude was very strange.
It is not like in later generations where people with extra money will do charity.
Everyone here knows how precious food is at this time.
Although the food at home was better than that of other families because of Qin Zheng's presence.
But most of the time they are just like the villagers, eating a lot of coarse grains, and even digging wild vegetables when necessary.
It would have been fine if Grandma Bai had just given them a bowl of rice, but it seemed clear that she wanted to prepare two large lunch boxes for them, and she even planned to let these people take the lunch boxes with them.
You have to know that such a big lunch box also costs a lot of money, even if you have money, you won’t buy it.
Grandma Bai actually said she would give it to him just like that.
Qin Zheng and Tang Wan both had expressions of confusion on their faces, but even so, they did not speak out to stop Grandma Bai.
Grandma Bai is not a person without sense of propriety. She must have her own reasons for doing this.
Especially Tang Wan still remembered the expression on Grandma Bai's face when she first came here.
She also shook her head at Qin Zheng, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
If Grandma Bai wanted to say something, she would have said it, just like Grandma Bai should know what to say. Such an excuse would not fool the two of them.
After Grandma Bai finished cooking, she served some food to the three of them and put the rest in a lunch box, waiting for the monkey trainer to come and ask for food.
Even Grandma Bai seemed a little absent-minded while eating, and basically didn't eat more than two bites of the rice in the bowl.
Luo Ying and Dongzi's house was closer to the village than theirs, so they could hear the knocking on the door.
There were also faint voices coming over.
The moment the voice came from the other side, Grandma Bai stopped eating.
The chopsticks also stopped in mid-air, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
When the voice from the other side stopped, Grandma Bai also put down her chopsticks.
On the contrary, she stood up, looked at the two large lunch boxes that had been prepared long ago, and waited for the knock on the door.
When that voice sounded, the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and Grandma Bai immediately picked up her lunch box and went outside.
In the room, Qin Zheng and Tang Wan looked at each other, hesitating whether to follow.
Grandma Bai stood at the door with her lunch box for a long time, which surprised Qin Zheng and Tang Wan, who had not intended to go over. Then they went to the courtyard gate.
When the two of them went out, Grandma Bai had already handed two large lunch boxes to the people outside the door.
As Qin Zheng and Tang Wan walked towards the gate of the courtyard, they also saw people outside asking for food.
There were three beggars. Two of them were performing the monkey tricks in the front today. One was in his forties, and one was about ten years old. The other was a little older, but today he seemed to be watching the stall in the back and did not take part in the performance.
The lunch boxes were held in the hands of the two young people, but Grandma Bai was talking to the oldest one.
