Chapter 21 The Instinct of Eating Melon

Li Haichao looked away, glanced at the cardboard box, and then said to Li Jianjian, "Jianjian, we can't keep this box. Let's take it and throw it away."

"No! I picked it up. Brother Ji Yuan said that the uncle upstairs might want it later, and we can return it to them then."

Li Jianjian then directly revealed that she had picked him up herself.

However, Li Haichao didn't care about this detail.

Hearing Li Jianjian's words, Li Haichao smiled with great satisfaction.

Clearly, he was moved by Li Jianjian's words.

If you keep the items and the person regrets it in the future, you can return them; that would be helping them.

Li Haichao reached out and patted the two little ones on the head: "Okay, then put them away."

Li Jianjian happily put the cardboard box back under the bed.

Li Haichao then put the walnuts back.

After searching around, Li Haichao originally wanted to take some peanuts, as he had quite a few peanuts at home that he had brought back from Li Jianjian's maternal grandmother's house.

However, Li Haichao thought that peanuts and walnuts are both nuts, so they might not be so good either.

After searching for a while, Li Haichao finally picked up two bottles of chili sauce he had made himself.

……

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian took the chili sauce upstairs.

The two arrived at room 301 and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Ling Heping, who had just returned home and hadn't even sat down yet, opened it.

"Hey, you must be Mr. Li's kids downstairs?"

"Ji Yuan, and Li Jianjian, Uncle, am I remembering correctly? Is there something you need?"

When Ling Heping saw Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian, he immediately smiled and asked.

"If I remember correctly, Uncle, this is a welcome gift for you. It's chili sauce that my dad made himself."

As Li Jianjian spoke, she handed over the two bottles of chili sauce she was holding.

"Oh dear, this is too much trouble. Please thank your father properly for me when you get back."

Ling Heping smiled and accepted the chili sauce.

Li Jianjian smiled and nodded.

"Uncle, let's go home for dinner."

"Alright, alright, go on your way, don't go hungry."

Ji Yuan didn't say anything, but Li Jianjian from She Niu finished delivering the gifts herself and then pulled Ji Yuan downstairs.

……

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian returned quickly, and Li Haichao was already preparing lunch.

After preparing lunch, the three of them ate.

Before I could even take a few bites, I suddenly heard arguing coming from upstairs.

All three of them looked up at the same time.

Eating melon is a human instinct.

Unfortunately, there's no perspective.

There is only sound, no visuals.

Ji Yuan was not surprised at all that there was an argument upstairs.

After a while, Li Haichao, Li Jianjian, and the other neighbors will realize that this is not liveliness, but noise.

They have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days.

Ling Heping didn't actually want to argue with Chen Ting; he had been giving in to her the whole time.

But when one person dislikes another, even breathing becomes wrong.

Ji Yuan felt that Chen Ting had developed some mental problems because of the child's death.

They should be sent to a mental hospital for treatment.

However, he couldn't say that. In this day and age, most people still think of mental illness as just being mentally ill.

Actually, they are different. A mental illness is a mental illness, and a psychotic illness is a psychotic illness.

But they don't care about any of that.

Anyway, if he dares to say that someone has a mental illness and should get treatment, the person won't appreciate it. They'll definitely think he's cursing or calling Chen Ting a lunatic.

After lunch.

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian stayed home to paint, while Li Haichao returned to the noodle shop to continue his business.

……

The next day.

In the morning, Li Haichao took the two of them out to buy watermelons.

After buying the watermelon, Li Haichao took the two to a noodle shop.

At this moment, He Mei arrived at the noodle shop, and Granny Qian was also there.

Grandma Qian was very happy to see He Mei coming over.

Yesterday, after the blind date, he asked Li Haichao how it went. Li Haichao told him that there was no hope and it definitely wouldn't work out.

The very next day, He Mei came to the noodle shop. This wasn't a sign of no hope; it was a sign of great hope.

At this moment, Granny Qian pulled He Mei aside and spoke highly of Li Haichao.

He Mei said that he just happened to be passing by and decided to have a bowl of noodles.

In reality, they probably came with the intention of checking on Li Haichao's specific situation.

Life still brought her a lot of pressure.

She still wanted to find someone else, even if it was just for He Ziqiu's sake, she should find someone else, because she really couldn't take good care of the child herself.

Not long after, Li Haichao brought Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian to the noodle shop.

Li Haichao was somewhat surprised to see He Mei.

Li Jianjian noticed He Ziqiu standing to the side, who was playing with one of Li Jianjian's little frog toys.

This little tin frog was a very popular toy back then.

It's probably smaller than a child's palm, a tin toy with a wind-up mechanism inside. By winding it up, it can generate power and make small jumps.

Li Jianjian gets angry whenever she sees He Ziqiu.

Seeing him playing with his toys only made him angrier, and he shouted, "That's my little frog!"

He Ziqiu quickly handed the toy to Li Jianjian: "Here you go."

Li Jianjian was so angry that she reached out to slap He Ziqiu's hand away.

Ji Yuan reached out and took Li Jianjian's hand, which was about to erupt, and with his other hand took the little frog from He Ziqiu's hand.

Ji Yuan pulled her back, and she calmed down and stopped throwing a tantrum.

"Come on, come on, let's eat some melon seeds."

Li Haichao immediately took out a watermelon and stuffed a piece into Li Jianjian's hand.

Then he brought one for Ji Yuan and He Ziqiu.

Then he gave some to He Mei and Granny Qian.

"Don't be angry, eat watermelon."

Li Haichao comforted Li Jianjian.

Li Jianjian took a big bite of watermelon; she didn't want to stay here at all.

He turned directly to Li Haichao and said, "I want to go out and play!"

"Alright, alright, go out and have fun."

Li Haichao nodded.

After Li Haichao agreed, Li Jianjian pulled Ji Yuan away.

He Ziqiu stood there, looking outside with great longing. He really wanted to join the two of them, but he was too afraid to go.

……

After Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian left the noodle shop.

Ji Yuan didn't go home to continue drawing. After drawing for two days, he realized that he didn't have the "Heaven rewards diligence" system. If he just drew randomly, his skills wouldn't level up at all.

He needs to find a teacher or enroll in a class to learn effectively.

I need to find at least some books.

"Jianjian, I'm going to buy books, do you want to come with me?"

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian and asked.

"Yeah."

Li Jianjian nodded directly.

Then Ji Yuan led Li Jianjian to a general store not far away.

The main characteristic of this general store is its variety of items.

They sell all sorts of things, including some books, and even some secondhand books.

After Ji Yuan arrived, she searched for a while and, luckily, found a book about sketching.

Li Jianjian followed along and saw a comic book she really liked, so Ji Yuan bought it too.
