Chapter 1834: Sweet Little Days (2)

Even the Ruanlin Family couldn’t help but laugh along, feeling her heart melt, overflowing with sweetness.

"Granny, Granny, do you have anything to eat? I’m starving, I haven’t eaten anything since last night!" Just as the grandmother and granddaughter were sharing a warm moment, a boisterous voice came from outside. With the look of a refugee, Ruan Lei barged in, shouting while lifting lids, creating quite the clatter, which made the Ruanlin’s eye twitch with irritation. Unable to hold it in any longer, she rushed forward and gave him a smack.

"Were you reincarnated from a hungry ghost?"

Ruan Lei dodged everywhere, covering his buzzing head with a pitiful look: "Granny, Granny, I haven’t eaten anything since last night."

"So what if you haven’t eaten? Missing a meal or two won’t kill you!" The Ruanlin Family replied, glaring angrily.

Ruan Lei, covering his red forehead, noticed Ruan Jiaojiao sitting nearby on a small stool eating egg custard, and his eyes lit up: "Then Granny, make me a bowl of egg custard too, a big bowl, or else it won’t be enough."

"Dream on, a big bowl! Do you think I have spare time to make that for you now? Wait for lunch if you’re hungry."

"Then when will lunch be ready?" Ruan Lei wailed.

The Ruanlin Family glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao and replied: "There’s still time before then; after the little one finishes her egg custard, she probably won’t be able to eat lunch right away, so we’ll have a later lunch."

"...Granny! I’m your biological grandson too!"

"Go, go, go, get out, you’re an eyesore!" The Ruanlin Family firmly pushed him out.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat at the side, eating her warm egg custard while watching Ruan Lei’s despair, feeling the egg custard tasted even more delicious.

When Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t home, the Ruanlin Family would eat casually, but with her home, all the meals revolved around her schedule. If she said not to cook, then there really wouldn’t be any cooking. With no other choice due to hunger, Ruan Lei had to make himself a large bowl of noodles.

However, he rarely cooked himself, and the noodles were overcooked and a bit salty. Nevertheless, he was too hungry to find it unpleasant and devoured it all.

But after finishing his noodles, resting for half an hour, and taking a shower, he came out only to see the Ruanlin Family had cooked a large pot of radish stew with bone-in ribs, which smelled amazing!

He couldn’t help it; despite feeling sour, Ruan Lei ate two more big bowls with tears in his eyes.

Ruan Jiaojiao exclaimed, "Lei brother, you eat even more than when you were young. Aren’t you afraid of becoming a big fatty?"

Ruan Lei boasted, "There’s no choice; I just don’t get fat no matter how much I eat."

"But in middle school, you gained five pounds in just one week, have you forgotten? That’s like gaining a pound a day."

"..." Ruan Lei.

A few seconds later, pointing at the Little Snow Wolf playing with Meatball’s tail as if he hadn’t heard anything, he changed the topic: "Where did this dog come from?"

"This isn’t a dog; it’s Meatball’s wife, a Little Snow Wolf. Brother Xu and I picked it up at the market near school yesterday," Ruan Jiaojiao replied, reaching out to beckon the Little Snow Wolf, which promptly bounced over. Ruan Jiaojiao picked it up, scratched its chin, and the Little Snow Wolf purred contentedly.

"Poor Meatball, having such an ugly wife..." Before he finished, Ruan Lei suddenly felt a pain in his calf and looked down to see Meatball, who had been entertaining the Little Snow Wolf with its tail, now nudging his calf with its snout.
