Chapter 719 He also wanted to steal her roast chicken
Instead, he bought incense, candles, and roast chicken and secretly hid them in the storeroom, without telling Guaibao and Lu Xiaofen about it.
He didn't want his daughter to get involved in such matters, since there's a difference between humans and ghosts.
As for Lu Xiaofen, Chen Jianjun was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it if she found out.
After the two had fallen asleep that night, Chen Jianjun got up quietly, took out the incense, candles, and roast chicken he had hidden, and went to the backyard to cook for the old man and the young girl: "Grandpa Zhang, I have heard about what happened to you, and I will not drive you away anymore. I only hope that you will not disturb my wife and daughter in this year. I will cook for you every time I come here in the future."
"Grandpa, there's roast chicken to eat!"
The little boy couldn't resist rushing over and burying his head in the food, eating as if he hadn't eaten in centuries. Even the old man's eyes turned red.
This was the first time in over a decade that the old man and the young man, who had been ghosts, had ever eaten incense offerings.
The old man's old friends were either labeled as capitalists like him and were too busy taking care of themselves.
They either went abroad to seek refuge, so no one ever made offerings to them.
Fortunately, for the past ten years or so, their souls have been attached to the poplar trees in the yard, so they have no consciousness and no feeling of hunger.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt innocent people," the old man promised earnestly.
I also felt a sense of gratitude.
However, Chen Jianjun could neither see nor hear them speaking.
At that moment, Helian Jiao, who was sleeping in the room, twitched her little nose and then opened her eyes.
It smells so good!
It smells like the roast chicken I ate yesterday!
A little devil tried to steal her roast chicken!
Chen Jianjun was both amused and exasperated as he stopped her, saying, "Sweetie, this is for the two ghosts, you can't eat it."
So, puffing out her cheeks, she threw a tantrum and said, "I want to eat now!"
Her fierce tone carried a hint of coquetry and grievance.
"It's alright, let the child eat it," the old man said.
Helpless, Chen Jianjun could only tear off a chicken leg for Guaibao.
Helian Jiao happily took the chicken leg, took a big bite, and spat it out the next second: "This roast chicken has no flavor at all, it's awful!"
It smelled so good just now!
What the little princess didn't know was that the offerings that ghosts had eaten, though intact on the outside, would lose their flavor and taste bland to the living.
The little boy immediately let out a triumphant laugh: "Hehehe~"
Let her try to steal my roast chicken!
The laughter was sharp, sinister, and quite creepy.
However, of the two living people present, one was deaf and blind, and the other was not afraid at all, even getting a sharp rap on the head.
How dare they laugh at her!
The little boy's laughter immediately turned into tears: "Waaah~ Grandpa, she hit me!"
Hearing the noisy crying, Helian Jiao was disgusted. She hadn't even used any strength; she was really useless!
She turned to look at Chen Jianjun and said softly, "Dad, I'm hungry."
Actually, I wasn't hungry, I just had a craving!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun immediately said, "Then wait a moment, Dad will make you some noodles!"
How could he bear to let his precious daughter go hungry!
She turned around and went to the kitchen, boiled water in a pot to make noodles, and also fried two golden-brown poached eggs.
"Sweetie, eat up."
Seeing that there were two poached eggs in her bowl and only green vegetables in her father's bowl, Helian Jiao picked up one of the poached eggs and gave it to him: "Dad, you can have an egg too."
"Okay, Dad will eat too." Chen Jianjun couldn't contain his joy and grinned like a silly dad.
