Chapter 87: Cell Phone
In front of a farmhouse.
A fairly robust old granny was sitting on the mazha chair, squinting her eyes to block away from the sun’s blinding rays.
Her expression was filled with cheeriness, but the wrinkles crawling on her face showed that she was already way past her younger years.
A bright yellow turban covered most of her silver hair. She grabbed a bite of the sweet potato in her hand. She then saw the two youngsters moving closer to speak with her. The woman wasn’t at all stingy and grabbed two sweet potatoes, handing them over to the two, hinting for them to eat.
Ye Shangyu gratefully received a sweet potato, directly stuffing it in her pocket and simply not having any plans on eating it.
Bai Yan wasn’t as cautious as she was. Thinking that they also ate the food that a ghost served them, it wasn’t that different from this old granny. He took a bite out of the sweet potato, perceiving a sweet taste, its flavor also wasn’t bad.
After finishing it with two or three bites, the old lady gave him another one in response, and Bai Yan still accepted it with no sense of shame, not even feeling a bit embarrassed. You could say that he was extremely shameless.
As Bai Yan nibbled on his second sweet potato, Ye Shangyu opened her mouth and said, “Granny, do you know of a Dong Zi?”
Seeing that the two remained silent, the old woman sighed and said, “Tie Zhu is a good child, so don’t blame him. If he was raised by his parents, he wouldn’t have turned out like this. Right now, all the capable people in this village went off to the city to work, and the remaining villagers are all tired and weary. They take care of their own grandchildren, but in all honesty, it’s a strenuous task for old tired people to take care of others.”
