PAMPERED CONSORT OF THE FRAGRANCE ORCHARD.BOOK 1

Chapter 8. First Meeting.

The next day, when it was almost noon, Du Xiao Li came to Niu Jing’s house.

“Grandpa Niu, are you home?” Du Xiao Li stood outside the bamboo fence of Niu Jing’s yard and shouted towards the house.

Niu Jing came our from the house and saw Du Xiao Li, saying with a smile, “It’s Xiao Li ah, quickly come in.”

“Alright, grandpa Niu.” Du Xiao Li sweetly replied, then opened the bamboo gate and walked in. She saw that in the central room, there was the addition of a guifei couch that wasn’t there before, and on it lied a twelve to thirteen year old boy. Next to him even stood two eighteen nineteen year old men, both dressed in all black. At a glance, she could already tell this boy’s body wasn’t normal. However, it had nothing to do with her. She looked to Niu Jing and said, “Grandpa Niu, are you busy right now?”

“Already done now. Xiao Li, aren’t you all busy with moving things? How come you’ve come?” Niu Jing had just treated Han Ming Yi’s illness and was currently resting right now.

Du Xiao Li handed the half of hare in her hands to Niu Jing and said, “This is what I caught yesterday when I entered the mountain. Big brother said the taste of wild mountain hare is pretty good, so specially came over to give grandpa Niu half. Also, at the same time, let me pay back the medicine fee we owe from before.”

Niu Jing accepted the hare that was already cleaned, and one of the men in black behind Han Ming Yi then went forward to accept it, taking it to the kitchen to the side.

Du Xiao Li took out a piece of silver and pa.s.sed it to Niu Jing. This time, Niu Jing didn’t refuse and accepted it. Afterwards, he poured Du Xiao Li a cup of water and asked, “How are things over there?”

“Majority of things are mostly taken care of, uncle Shi and uncle Shi Er are all helping us move things. Just that house in the mountains is too small, unable to fit everything.” Du Xiao Li was also thirsty, and after accepting the water cup, gulped down the water in mouthfuls. Only when she finished drinking, did she finally answer Niu Jing’s question.

Yesterday evening, because the time was too short, not everything was moved back. However, luckily there were a lot of people, and after moving back and forth twice, what remained, wasn’t much. This morning, Shi Da and Shi Er, and also a few other former neighbors, all came to help them move. Right now, it was mostly done.

Han Ming Yi laid on top the guifei couch and didn’t say anything. Hearing Du Xiao Li’s silvery voice, lifted his head to glance at her, then afterwards closed his eyes again to rest.

Relying on her acute senses from her past life, Du Xiao Li knew that Han Ming Yi had glanced at her. She returned the cup to Niu Jing and said, “Grandpa Niu, since you still have a guest, I’ll just go back first then. See you later grandpa Niu.”

After she said this, she turned and left. She then went to the old house to see if there’s anything they overlooked.

The house that Du Hai originally built can be considered relatively big in the village. At the time, he’d just came back from out of town, and still had some money in his hands. Du Xiu Heng said, Du Hai didn’t want Su Su Xin to live somewhere shabby, so he built such a house.

Today wasn’t as busy as yesterday afternoon with moving things. Du Xiao Li stood outside the house and properly studied the house’s design. As she studied, she suddenly felt this house was a bit different from the other houses in the village. Rather, it looked a bit structured like those antique houses she saw before in the past up north.

“This was personally designed by mother.” Du Xiu Heng came over to Du Xiao Li’s side and said.

Du Xiao Li looked to Du Xiu Heng and asked, “Mother is from the north?”
