Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

The two women froze upon hearing this, staring at him in astonishment: "What...what are you saying?"

"Grandpa and Grandma, I know everything. You don't need to hide it from me. I want to see my sister today. Can you take me with you?"

"It's been over ten years. Didn't you forget about it because of a high fever? Why are you thinking about your sister now? What did your parents say to you?"

Pang Chong shook his head: "No, they didn't tell me anything. I found out by myself. It's really wrong of me to forget my sister as her older brother. I'm in junior high school now, not a child anymore."

“I want to go and find out where my sister’s grave is so I can pay my respects during the Qingming Festival and visit her more often at other times. Her grave is on our family’s land.”

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "No, your sister was only three years old when she passed away. Children that young are usually not buried in the family graves; they are buried directly on the hillside."

"If you want to go see it, we can take you another day. You don't look well right now, and going there might attract bad things."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Pang Chong worked hard and finished what should have been a day's work in just half a day. Standing in the yard, he proudly said, "Grandpa and Grandma, look, I've picked all the peanuts."

"By the way, don't peel the corn either. I have a better way to peel it faster. You'll see when the tools I bought online arrive, hahaha."

“Oh, what can you buy online? We country folk shell corn like this, we don’t need any tools. Don’t waste your money, kid.”

"Keep some extra money to buy some snacks."

Pang Chong didn't take their words seriously. He had finally managed to get into this shape, so why would he need to eat snacks? They were all additives and no fun.

Two days later, the goods arrived in town. Pang Chong carried one of the boxes home on his bicycle, unpacked it, reassembled it, placed it on the ground, and then stuffed corn cobs into it and started turning it.

The corn kernels came tumbling down with a whoosh, leaving the elderly couple completely stunned.

"What is this thing? How did you do it? It's unbelievable! You just turned it around like that. You're really capable, grandson."

Hearing this, Pang Chong felt even more accomplished. He realized that going online wasn't all bad; he could bring over good things from the internet to help ease his grandparents' burden.

The old man also came over and tried it, praising, "Old woman, you should try it too. I must say, our eldest grandson is really filial and capable. He's working much faster now."

"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try too."

The courtyard was filled with joy. In the countryside, people like to visit each other during mealtimes. The big iron gate was pushed open, and a neighbor walked into the courtyard with a bowl in hand, looking at the strange thing with curiosity.

"Xiao Chong, you've lost so much weight, I almost didn't recognize you. What is that? How can you peel corn so fast?"

"This is called a corn-peeling artifact. Don't underestimate its small size; it's incredibly useful. With this, one person can do the work of several, and you can get things done much faster."

The old lady came over and tried it, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh my, this thing is pretty good. City kids are so knowledgeable. I've never seen this for sale anywhere before. How much does it cost?"

Pang Chong laughed and said, "It's cheap, only a dozen yuan each, which is a great deal. If it breaks, you can just replace it without feeling bad, and you can even sell it as scrap. It's so convenient!"

"So cheap? Can you buy one for your aunt too? No, buy a few more. Our cornfield really needs this amazing tool."

"Take a look at how much money it is, and I'll give it all to you at once."

The old woman took out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it over: "Here, take this and see how many you can buy. You can keep the rest as pocket money."

Pang Chong nodded, and without any hesitation, took the fifty yuan and started selecting items in front of her, placing an order and whispering, "Auntie, it will probably arrive in about three days."
