Chapter 346 Firefly (1)_1
Zhao Li, wiping her watermelon-juice-covered mouth, asked curiously, "Ruan brother, where did you buy this watermelon? How come the ones I buy aren’t as sweet?"
"..." Ruan Jianguo.
Uh, this question was difficult to answer. He could only vaguely respond, "Just last time when I went to the city, I saw someone selling them and bought two. If you think it’s tasty, take one home; there’s still one left."
"That would be too embarrassing, only one left; you keep it for your family to eat," she said.
"It’s fine, you always bring things to our place, and we offer you a watermelon, but you won’t accept it. That’s really unnecessary," Ruan Jianguo said as he went inside to fetch the watermelon.
In fact, all these watermelons were delivered by the unusual white worm. It almost delivered one daily without fail. Initially, he was somewhat frightened of the worm because it was huge, but thankfully it seemed to understand humans somewhat. It probably knew they were scared, so it would leave right after delivering the watermelons without lingering.
After observing for a month or so, he gradually got used to the sight of it, and sometimes he even found the creature quite pleasing to the eye.
Since Ruan Jianguo insisted, Zhao Li had no reason to refuse and happily accepted the watermelon.
However, before she left, she held Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms, reluctant to let go, lavishing kisses on her little cheeks, not minding the heat, "Jiaojiao, aren’t you going to visit your godmother? Let me tell you, godmother has a refrigerator at home filled with lots of ice cream and soda; you will love it there."
A refrigerator was truly a rarity in that era. Zhao Li had gone through quite a bit of effort to acquire one. She bought it with the thought of filling it with ice cream, popsicles, and soda, hoping to entice Ruan Jiaojiao to stay at her house for a few days so she could cuddle with the soft and squishy little girl as she slept.
