The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 23 Uncle Li
Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Uncle Li
"My goodness, has your mom not lost her mind with fever? Can your mom and dad really let you go to the countryside? No way, you little girl! Are you trying to fool me again? Lying to ghosts, your parents dote on you so much, there’s no way they’d let your brother go to the countryside, let alone you. Should I believe you?"
Fan Jianguo was initially startled but quickly figured it out, and he looked unconvinced.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt sour inside and saw that everyone could see how much her parents loved her; it was just her, in her past life, who couldn’t see.
How could she ever think her parents were plotting against her?
She deserved it.
"Uncle, I really want to go to the countryside! My parents disagreed but couldn’t win against me! They finally agreed, letting my brother substitute for my dad at work! I’m going to the countryside, isn’t it great, Uncle? If you won’t help me, then you’re really not my biological uncle."
She thought, well, not biologically, but practically.
Fan Jianguo had his mouth wide open for a long time and couldn’t close it.
"Oh my, can your parents really do such a thing? If your grandmother knew, wouldn’t she come from the countryside directly to beat your dad up?"
He could imagine if his mother knew!
Just considering how much his mom and dad adored Xiao Xiao.
His brother-in-law’s future looked bleak.
He experienced it personally, taking Xiao Xiao shopping once as a child and accidentally dislocating her arm.
That little girl cried earth-shatteringly.
His elder sister scolded him profusely, and his brother-in-law immediately kicked him out.
Even so, it wasn’t enough; he lowered himself for several days and used countless candies to finally pacify the little girl.
Somehow, his mom and dad found out.
Then he met his demise.
His mother and dad came without saying a word and gave him a mixed martial beating.
He, having worked for almost ten years and considered a man of society, ended up beaten beyond recognition and didn’t dare to go out for days.
When he did go out, he had no idea how to explain to the neighbors. They might have thought he had done something disgraceful and got beaten for it.
Otherwise, why would grown adults be honest about being hit?
Now Xiao Xiao is going to the countryside!
Oh dear!
"Uncle, I’m coming to you for important matters. Can you help me find some seeds or something, or saplings would be fine, anything I can plant, so I can mess around in our house yard first, laying a foundation, so I won’t go to the countryside completely ignorant."
This was by far the best excuse.
Otherwise, she couldn’t explain why she needed these things.
Fan Jianguo pouted; the little girl thinks she’ll farm?
He figured, he being the uncle cannot dampen her enthusiasm.
"Alright! Seeds are hard to find. I’ll have to ask around, maybe some farmers in nearby villages have them. As for saplings, yes, my friend’s family has a peach orchard! I could get you a peach tree to plant, and maybe in a couple of years, you could be eating peaches at your place.
Grape vines are also nice! I can take you right now to get them back! It’s ready-made."
Fan Jianguo patted his chest, promising his niece! Difficult tasks aside, such things are no challenge for him.
No matter what, he was the know-it-all of the supply and sales cooperative! What couldn’t he get done?
Especially when it was his niece asking.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was delighted, like getting a pillow when feeling sleepy.
"Uncle! Let’s go right away; I want seeds! I want saplings too; take me there now, let’s get the saplings first! Don’t delay on the seeds; find them for me as soon as possible! I need everything a little bit."
Way easier than seeking herself.
"Xiao Xiao! You’re way too impatient; it’s already August, even if you plant now, it’s a waste. It won’t last through the winter."
Feeling sorry for those seeds and saplings.
"Uncle, hurry up!"
Fan Jianguo had no choice! What could he do with a niece in such a hurry?
He got on his bicycle and patted the back seat.
"Hop on! We’re setting off."
Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped on, holding onto her uncle’s waist.
Fan Jianguo rode as fast as the wind.
He rode for about an hour, which, back then, cycling an hour casually was normal.
Fan Jianguo stopped, panting, one foot on the ground, "You... get down quickly, little girl, you’re exhausting your uncle to death."
He hadn’t cycled in ages; what tasks were there at the supply and sales cooperative?
Even for purchasing goods, it was done along with the big truck! No need for him to laboriously cycle everywhere.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hopped off the bicycle, "Uncle! You’re not in good shape! You need to exercise well, otherwise when you have a little cousin who grows day by day, how will you escort him to and from school?" freeweɓnøvel.com
Fan Jianguo felt deeply disdained.
"Little girl! Are you always this annoying when you talk?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao burst into laughter, "Uncle, I’m just teasing you, see? You’re taking it so seriously."
The two of them entered a large rural courtyard.
"Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother, where are you!"
Fan Jianguo shouted as soon as he stepped in.
A skinny person immediately dashed out from the backyard.
In this era, chubby people are rare!
Only a few chefs managed to get plump.
Most people can’t even eat enough! How could they get fat?
"Whoa, what wind blew you, Fan Jianguo, here? All the way to my poor remote place? You wouldn’t still be thinking of my few Huanghuali trees? I’m warning you, those are my life, don’t you dare think about them. No matter what."
This uncle’s classmate really spoke interestingly, and the tone showed he and Fan Jianguo must be quite close.
Their relationship must be rock-solid.
"Hello! Fan Jianguo is my uncle! I can call you Uncle too, right? My uncle said you are the closest, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought me to you for help."
Sweet talk never gets disliked.
In her past life, she suffered from being unable to speak well.
Stubborn and stiff like a wooden stake.
Sure enough, Li Zaiguan was instantly amused by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words.
"You little girl! You’re better than your uncle. His relationship with me? Let me tell you, your uncle is the type to pluck a feather from every passing goose. You wouldn’t be the same as him, right? Thinking of some good stuff from me? Little girl!"
Li Zaiguan seemed to quite like the little girl before him.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitated, "Does my uncle really have this habit? I truly didn’t know."
Fan Jianguo was annoyed, "Li Zaiguan, what are you doing? Are you asking for a beating? I see you’re someone who acts up when not disciplined, Xiao Xiao! Don’t mind him; he only knows how to babble nonsense all day. His woods are just behind the mountain! Come on! I’ll take you up the mountain. Whatever good thing you see, grab it; your uncle promises you, today he’ll definitely make him bleed hard."
Li Zaiguan hurriedly blocked them, "That’s unacceptable, you’re nothing but a living bandit! And you want to ruin me here? Little girl, you can’t learn from your uncle. One must be kind-hearted."
Jiang Xiaoxiao grinned as she watched Li Zaiguan and Fan Jianguo go back and forth.
"Uncle Li, I won’t touch your treasures! I just need two peach trees or grape vines, anything like that; I definitely dare not touch your Huanghuali."
It’s clear that people in this era who could patiently plant trees were rare.
One also wonders how this fellow managed to make use of village loopholes.
