Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Oh, just tell us, why did Pang Chong suddenly go to the countryside? Did something happen?"

Chen Yan coughed lightly: "Alright, students, take out your books, we're about to start class. Please stop whispering and keep quiet."

After leaving the school, Pang Chong got into the car, and the family of three drove directly to the countryside. The drive took four hours, and they didn't get home until midnight.

After getting off the bus, Mr. Pang instructed, "You and your son go to my mother's place. I need to go to the school here to take care of things and try to get the child to start school here tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful and come back soon."

"It's alright, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

Mrs. Pang nodded: "Yes, son, let's go in. Your grandparents are waiting for you."

Pang Chong nodded and jogged inside, calling out, "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm back! Your eldest grandson is back!"

The two elderly people slowly came out of the main room. They were stunned when they saw the person running over. Before they could react, they were embraced by the person. The grandson, who was being affectionate, looked completely bewildered.

No, where's their chubby grandson? Who's this skinny monkey?

"No, who are you?"

Pang Chong looked up and said with a pitiful expression, "Grandpa and Grandma, it's me, Pang Chong! Don't you recognize your eldest grandson? Waaah, it's so heartbreaking."

"...Oh, it really is you, child. How did you get so thin? Did your parents not feed you well? Come on, Grandpa and Grandma will kill a chicken and a duck for you to eat."

"Daughter-in-law, how did you let the child get so thin? It breaks my heart."

Looking at her son, who was still 130 pounds, Pang's mother's lips twitched: "Mom, he's just right, he's not thin at all. You just spoil him too much. Being fat is bad for his health."

Pang Chong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, when I was fat, I couldn't walk properly and it was so hard to breathe. The doctor said that if I continued to get this fat, I wouldn't live to be fifty."

"...What? Where did this quack doctor come from who's spouting nonsense? Being a little chubby is a good thing! You're too young to understand. Only a chubby person can withstand disaster."

"Back in the 1960s, so many people fled famine on the road. In the end, those who made it to their destination were mostly the fatter ones; the skinny ones couldn't even make it there."

Pang's mother said helplessly, "Oh, Xiao Chong, you insisted on coming to the countryside. With how much your grandparents spoil you, it won't be easy for you to lose weight then."

Pang Chong said with a determined look in his eyes, "It's okay, Mom. I know what I'm doing. This time I will definitely stick to exercising to lose weight and I will study hard so I can come home as soon as possible."

“Daughters-in-law, come in quickly. Let’s talk about what’s going on. Why did you suddenly decide to send the child to study in our hometown? Didn’t you say before that the education there wasn’t up to par?”

The group chatted in the main room for a while, and then Pang Chong's stomach started growling. He was so hungry that he felt a little anxious and uncomfortable.

"Grandma, I'm hungry and want to eat noodles. Let's eat first and then talk slowly, okay? It's a good thing that I'm going back to the countryside this time. Being in contact with the soil is good for my health."

The old woman nodded: "That makes sense. I'll go make you something to eat first, and we can chat more after we've eaten."

The elderly couple looked at their grandson wolfing down his food and felt heartbroken: "Look how hungry this child is! Daughter-in-law, please don't let him lose weight. It's better for him to be a little chubby."

"...Well, now he wants to lose weight himself. He used to be too fat and often got sick, but look at him now, he's not so fat anymore, isn't he much better now?"

"It does look a bit more efficient."

Pang Chong didn't mention the doll. It was such a bizarre thing to his grandparents that even if he told them, it would be useless; they simply wouldn't believe him.

Then it's better not to mention it, just say that you want to go back to your hometown to study, to get closer to the local people and so on.

Pang's father didn't get home until 2 p.m. As soon as he arrived, he started clamoring for food. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he finally said, "Son, the school has taken care of everything for you. You can go to school the day after tomorrow."

"The school is about a few miles from your grandparents' house. We'll go to town this afternoon to buy you a bicycle, and you can ride it to school from now on. We'll also buy some gifts to take you to visit other children's homes."
