Chapter 588: Outsmarted
The new house has two bedrooms on the first floor, one storage room, one bathroom, and a large living room. The second and third floors together have seven rooms and one bathroom; each room upstairs has a balcony.
Standing on the balcony of the room facing north, one could see the vegetable patch cultivated by Grandpa, whereas standing on the balcony of the room facing south, one could view the situation on the road ahead.
When Luo Daoren saw his granddaughter coming over, he said, "Why have you come here? It’s not tidy yet, and you should be careful walking around."
Luo Qiao replied, "I was afraid you’d carry too many things back by yourself, so I came to pick you up and also to check on the progress of the house."
Upon this topic, Luo Daoren spoke with some anger, "I don’t know which little bastard took the big watermelon I was saving seeds from. There were plenty of other watermelons hanging on the vine, but he just had to pick that one."
Luo Qiao said, "Don’t be angry over this. Next year, I’ll help you get some more seeds."
After Luo Qiao said this, Luo Daoren’s expression became somewhat better, but he still found it amusing that out of all the melons available, the thief chose to pick the one reserved for seeds.
Luo Qiao thought to herself that the thief probably knew that melon was kept for seeds, and his goal wasn’t the watermelon but the seeds.
