Chapter 236.2: Rebirth of the Phoenix (1/2)

Tang Doudou only noticed that this village chief’s house was especially clean after she walked inside. Even the kitchen was very clean. There was no trace of the dust and dirt that normal rural kitchens would contain. Everything was placed neatly in their own spot. On the chopping board was a piece of cleaned pig belly and at the side was a freshly butchered chicken.

“I heard those youngsters say that you guys were forced to stop and come to the village because you got injured? This uncastrated rooster ah! It’s really good for speeding the recovery of injuries. But those guys refuse to take it for the life of them. They just tremble and run off whenever I bring it up.”

The village chief complained angrily. “Bunch of little brats. It’s not like I was making it for them, yet they had the nerve to show disdain for it…”

Um…

Were the little brats he was talking about Baili Yu and Jun Xin?

How come it felt like this village chief treated them completely like family instead of outsiders? Also, he was really brave to dare to call those two this way!

However, Baili Yu and the others probably wouldn’t mind an old man calling them this way.

Those things aside, she had been frozen in place the moment she saw the pig belly and the rooster.

She swallowed back her saliva. He had probably raised these pigs and chickens himself, right? The taste of food grown in the countryside was fabulous!

When Tang Doudou’s thoughts got to this point, she immediately ran over and called in a very sweet manner, “Village Chief Grandpa!”

The village chief was startled by her sudden cordiality. “Girl, what is it? If there’s something, just say it.”

“Did you prepare this pig belly and chicken for me to eat?”

The village chief nodded. She immediately hugged his arm and looked towards him with sparkling eyes. “Really?”

“Did this girl injure her head?” The village chief asked Qing Yu.

Qing Yu coughed. She couldn’t tell what Tang Doudou was doing either.

“Aiyah, Village Chief Grandpa, I’m just touched!” Tang Doudou laughed with a ‘hehe.’ Then, taking advantage of the fact that the village chief was still stunned, she asked, “Since they’re for me, then can I cook them myself?”

The village chief was stunned for a moment. Then, since she was staring so tensely, he nodded. With a laugh, he asked, “You know how to cook?”

“Of course! Qing Yu, help Village Chief Grandpa back to rest.”

Now that the village chief had agreed, Tang Doudou couldn’t stop herself any longer. She impatiently rolled up her sleeves and put on the apron nearby before rushing towards that pig belly and chicken.

When the village chief saw that she seemed pretty comfortable in the kitchen, he didn’t ask any more. Yawning, he went over and leaned on a pillar at the side to sleep.

Upon seeing this, Qing Yu walked over to nudge him awake.

Tang Doudou just happened to see this when she glanced back and hastily stopped Qing Yu. “It’s not easy for the grandpa to sleep so just let him rest. Help me find Jun Xin and bring him over. I just happen to owe him a meal!”
