Chapter 39 - 039 Thanks
It was just mid-afternoon, when most people had finished their midday meal and were either resting at home or visiting neighbors for a chat.
Li Huai Ren, accompanied by Li Xianglu, knocked on the Qin Family’s wooden gate, only to see a chubby figure swooshing over, and the door was abruptly swung open.
It was Qin Xiaopang, who proudly announced upon seeing Li Huai Ren and Li Xianglu, "I smelled something delicious just now; I knew Grandpa Li was going to bring us some tasty treats."
Li Huai Ren smiled and shook his head as he and Li Xianglu made their way towards the Qin Family’s eastern cave dwelling.
Qin Xiaopang led the way, calling out as he walked, "Dad, Big Brother, Grandpa Li and his newly acknowledged granddaughter have arrived!"
Li Huai Ren shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless, while Li Xianglu’s face showed embarrassment. No wonder Uncle Qin often spanked this Qin Family’s Fatty—he really was asking for it.
Stepping inside the cave dwelling, they found that Qin Shouren, who had been taking a nap on the kang bed, and Qin Xi, who had been reading by the window, both stood up.
Qin Xi squinted at the two visitors and said with a smile, "Grandpa Li is here, come up to the kang bed and sit down."
Li Huai Ren didn’t stand on ceremony and climbed up after slipping off his shoes, while Li Xianglu a bit shyly placed a basin on the kang table.
Qin Zhen saw that it was a porcelain basin, covered with a woven reed lid, and quickly reached out to take it off, revealing a basin full of plump white steamed buns.
His mouth quickly filled with saliva, and without regard for the heat, he grabbed a bun and took a big bite, murmuring with delight, "Oh, delicious, so delicious."
