Chapter 769 Begging Old Grandpa 3
"Grandpa, you must have been really hungry, huh? Wash your hands and take a seat, I’m going to get the food," Yang Xiaoxi cheerfully ran into the kitchen.
Shen Mianmian poured out the water from washing her hands, then tidied up the table.
Yang Xiaoxi brought out three bowls of hand-pulled noodles and also three plates of dishes, one with steamed minced meat, one with fried eggs, and one with scallions and tofu.
The old man nodded contentedly at the sight of the three dishes, his eyes growing even more pleased when they rested on Shen Mianmian. These dishes were clearly suitable for an elderly person.
The girl was quite thoughtful; the noodles were also cut very finely, such that even toothless elders would have no trouble eating them.
His stomach started to growl at the sight of the food, but he didn’t pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he looked troubled and said, "Young lady, this is my first time begging for food, so I don’t have any experience, and I didn’t bring my own bowl or chopsticks. I know young ladies these days love cleanliness, and you don’t mind me, even giving me food to eat. I’m already very satisfied. Maybe you could find a chipped bowl for me, and then I’ll just sit under the tree to eat."
Yang Xiaoxi instinctively looked towards Shen Mianmian. She didn’t mind at all; the old man looked very clean, not a vagabond, just out of food at home, with a grandson who didn’t take care of him.
But she needed to respect Mianmian, what if Mianmian did mind?
Shen Mianmian gently laughed and said, "Grandpa, just sit here and eat with us using this bowl and chopsticks, we’re also from the countryside and know what it’s like to be poor when we were kids. We’re not so particular."
A hint of appreciation flashed in the old man’s eyes, and his admiration for Shen Mianmian grew, "If that’s the case, then I won’t hold back."
