Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 894: 221: She died!_4

She held a large bundle of lotus flowers and pods, standing at the bow of the boat, just like a lotus fairy stepping out of a painting.

Gracefully poised.

Once ashore, Ni Yang and Du Jiaojiao sat together eating lotus seeds for a while before Ni Yang proposed saying goodbye.

"Brother Du, Sister Jiaojiao, I have to leave now," Ni Yang said, then turned to Grandpa Du, "You should come out more when you’re free, getting more sunlight not only reduces the chance of catching a cold and boosts immunity, but also protects vascular health."

"Okay." Grandpa Du nodded.

"Duoduo, I’m heading back," Ni Yang waved at Duoduo.

Duoduo jumped onto the other shoulder of Grandpa Du, unwilling to leave.

"Duoduo." Ni Yang called again. _{𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪}

Duoduo still didn’t want to leave.

Grandpa Du laughed, "You go ahead, it’s missing the treats I have here."

These days, Grandpa Du had provided countless treats for Duoduo.

But Duoduo was a typical ungrateful wretch.

Right after eating Grandpa Du’s food, it would curse him as a little bastard.

With Duoduo refusing to accompany her, Ni Yang had to go back alone.

"Yangyang, wait a moment," Du Jiaojiao grabbed a handful of lotus flowers and pods and chased after Ni Yang.

"What is it, Sister Jiaojiao?" Ni Yang turned around.

Du Jiaojiao stuffed the lotus flowers and pods into Ni Yang’s hands, "Take these."

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? You picked them yourself, I’m just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers," Du Jiaojiao smiled.

"Sister Jiaojiao, then I’ll leave first," Ni Yang shook the lotus flowers and pods in her hand.

"Okay," Du Jiaojiao waved to her.

Watching Ni Yang’s retreating figure, Du Jiaojiao sighed, "Ah, to be young is wonderful!"

Grandpa Du glanced at Du Jiaojiao, "You are not old either."

"I’m already thirty-six!" Du Jiaojiao shot Grandpa Du a look.

Then, Du Jiaojiao added, "I feel something was off with Yangyang today. Did you see? Her face was quite pale, but thankfully, she seemed to be in good spirits."

"I didn’t notice," Grandpa Du said whilst feeding a worm to Duoduo.

Du Jiaojiao looked at Grandpa Du, then asked, "What do you think about Yangyang?"

"She’s fine," Grandpa Du replied indifferently.

"And do you think she’s pretty?"

Grandpa Du kept his expression neutral, nodding slightly.

Du Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, "Do you have a crush on Ni Yang?"

Grandpa Du fed another worm to Duoduo, "Older sister, you are already thirty-six this year, can’t you stop making me feel like you’re only six?"

"You’re six!" Du Jiaojiao fluffed up like an angry rooster, "Your whole family is six!"

Grandpa Du laughed, "That includes you too."

Du Jiaojiao was momentarily speechless, then she said, "I read a book today that said every person experiences emotions and youthful infatuations. With someone as outstanding as Yangyang, I really want to know what kind of fairy you would fall for!"

She was really curious about what kind of person Grandpa Du would marry in the future.

"It’s regrettable, but you probably won’t see it in this lifetime," Grandpa Du said calmly.

Du Jiaojiao continued, "Yangyang is so pretty, if I were a man, I would definitely like her without hesitation!"

Grandpa Du looked at Du Jiaojiao. "Ni Yang is Pei Zhi’s girlfriend, I advise you to drop that idea."

A friend’s wife should not be coveted.

Du Jiaojiao shrugged, "I’m speaking hypothetically. I’m not a man. If I were, I would certainly act decisively!"

"Maybe in your next life," Grandpa Du looked at Du Jiaojiao, his expression serious yet gentle, "You might have a chance then."

Du Jiaojiao helplessly shook her head, "It’s so boring to talk with someone like you, I’m going back to my room now."

After leaving Grandpa Du, Ni Yang went to see Xiaozhou.

Xiaozhou, surprised, took the newspaper and asked, "Where did you find such an antique?"

This is a 25-year-old newspaper!

Even Xiaozhou, being a Detective, might not be able to find one.

Ni Yang said, "I have a friend who likes collecting newspapers, can you please help me check something?"

"Sure," Xiaozhou nodded, "no problem."

When she returned to the Zheng Family’s home, it was already past six in the evening.

Today being Monday, Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui were sitting in the living room with Little Ni Yun, chatting with Zheng Suyu.

Three days had passed, and Zheng Suyu seemed to have improved quite a bit.
