Chapter 18: Strange Dad (New Book Asks for Tickets, Asks for Rewards!) )

"Cock Cock Cock...... Chicken!!! ”

"North-north-north-north?"

Yan Cheng took the opportunity to take a mouthful.

Hongdou was so frightened that his face turned white: "Why are there chickens in the kitchen!" ”

“…… Can't you have chickens in the kitchen? ”

Yan Cheng thought that Hongdou was a little black man, but he didn't expect that this little brother was just afraid of chickens.

He scooped up the red beans and patted the red beans on the chest with the back of his hand: "What kind of chicken are you afraid of?" ”

"Ahh Red Bean screamed.

Yan Cheng was taken aback again: "What are you doing, there's no need to be so afraid, right?" The chicken's feet are all tethered, and they won't run around! ”

Red Bean blushed and lowered her head.

She screamed for the second time, of course, not because she saw a live chicken, but because she was slapped by Yan Cheng......

As a serious yellow flower girl, Hongdou has never behaved intimately with a man, let alone been photographed...... There it is.

But Hongdou didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hold it by himself.

Yan Cheng didn't see that there was something wrong with the red beans, thinking that this little brother was just frightened by the chicken.

The two old hens in the kitchen were given by the villagers when Yan Cheng was repairing the signal tower a few days ago.

Yan Cheng himself was reluctant to eat this kind of old hen that had been raised for three years and seven or eight catties, and planned to wait for Lan Rongrong to come back and stew it.

So he kept the two hens in the backyard of the kitchen temporarily, and when the red beans went in to put the weeds, he was scared.

Yan Cheng walked into the kitchen, and while driving the old hen into the corner, he said:

"If you want to volunteer with me, you have to learn if you can't do it, and you have to overcome your fears."

Hongdou sniffed, she felt that she had finally encountered something she couldn't handle.

In fact, Hongdou is afraid of live chickens, and Yan Cheng doesn't think it's strange, after all, most cities have clearly stipulated that live chickens cannot be sold.

Even in the vegetable market, all the chickens are slaughtered and processed.

This is to prevent the epidemic virus from birds from entering the city, but it has also led to young people like Hongdou who have lived in the city since childhood, and they have never seen live chickens.

Red Bean bit her lower lip and asked:

"What else is there in the countryside besides chickens?"

"That's a lot, you're late today, the chickens, ducks and geese in the village have gone home for dinner, and tomorrow morning you go out for a walk, the road and the fields are full of poultry."

As soon as he heard that the poultry in the village were actually free-range, Hongdou was even more scared.

But she also understands that these are the difficulties that must be overcome in order to stay at the B&B.

These difficulties are hard for me!

Hongdou gradually plucked up his courage and said to Yan Cheng: "Boss, you get out of the way, I want to meet those two big cocks again!" ”

"These two are hens, and the hens have no hair on their tails."

“……”

Yan Cheng stepped aside, Hongdou clenched his fists, held a breath in his mouth, and moved to the two hens step by step.

The two hens pecked at the pebbles on the ground by themselves, and they didn't pay attention to the red beans at all.

But they suddenly realized that the red bean had moved into their warning range, and they immediately became vigilant.

wanted to retreat, but the chicken's feet were tied by a rope, and there was no way to retreat.

Red Bean squatted down and tried to squeeze out a smile and stretched out his hand to the hen: "Hello...... Ahh!!h ”

The two hens thought that the red beans were going to be bad for them, and they were so frightened that they fluttered their wings and were about to peck the red bean's hand.

Hongdou, who had just plucked up his courage, was suddenly deflated, and hid behind Yan Cheng with a puff of smoke.

Yan Cheng: "......"

This volunteer ......

It's a little bit of a mother, right?

Yan Cheng sighed and said, "If you are so afraid, you will take a detour when you look at the poultry in the future." You don't have to do other work, you only need to be responsible for housekeeping in the homestay, is that okay? ”

"What does housekeeping do?" Red Bean poked his head out and asked cautiously.

"To put it simply, it's about tidying up the room, cleaning up, and if the guests have some other needs, such as adding quilts and sending tea, you are also responsible."

"This shouldn't bother me 985......"

"Okay, okay, you haven't finished your senior year, and you're not technically a graduate!"

Yan Cheng interrupted Hongdou's spell and waved her out of the kitchen: "You go sit outside first, I'll cook you a meal, and you should be caught in the wind and washed away!" ”

Hongdou was pushed out of the kitchen and stood outside looking at Yan Cheng in a daze.

The boss wants to cook for me himself?

Suddenly, Red Bean's mood was extremely complicated.

She silently turned around, walked to the courtyard of the homestay, and sat on the bamboo chair where Yan Cheng often sits.

Accompanied by the sound of insects, the red beans looked at the grass and trees in the homestay, which were carefully arranged by Yan Cheng, and there seemed to be the taste of Yan Cheng on them.

"He doesn't know yet, but we've known each other for years, right?"

Red Bean sits, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to four years ago.

Four years ago, when Azumi was still in high school, it had been three years since her father died in a car accident.

Although her father left her with money that she could not spend for the rest of her life, her longing for her father red beans has not been alleviated at all.

When high school was stressful, Azuki would always think of his father's kind face.

If my father was still around, he would have touched my head and comforted me softly, right?

Dad, I had a fight with my mom this morning because my language grades had dropped. But she didn't know that the essay topic for this exam was related to her father, and I handed in a blank paper......

Dad, my tablemate recently whispered to me that she was in love with the class leader next door. I really want to have a sweet relationship, but you said that I can't talk about a boyfriend until college.

Dad, Grandma's health has been getting worse lately, but she's happy because she feels closer to you.

Hongdou, who misses his father, habitually edits what he wants to say to his father into text messages and sends them to his late father's mobile phone number.

Although he has never received a response, this can make Red Bean feel that his father is still alive.

But this time, Red Bean's whisper was answered.

[Dad is fine, don't read it. 】

Hongdou, who received the reply, was almost stupefied at the time, she thought it was a text message from heaven.

But after thinking about it carefully, Hongdou guessed that it should be the number that his father had cancelled, and it was reused by a stranger.

And this kind stranger, who had not replied before, was silently understanding her.

It wasn't until she roughly understood the situation of the red bean that the kind stranger played the tone of the red bean's father and replied to her for the first time.

That night, Hongdou hid in the quilt and cried silently, and went to school the next morning with red and swollen eyes, and the homeroom teacher even chatted with her alone after class and asked her if she was out of love.

Hongdou replied with a smile while crying: "No, I just have a father again." ”

Since then, Red Bean has been texting her strange dad every once in a while.

Red Bean: Dad, my college entrance examination is over! There's a class reunion tonight, and I can finally take off my school uniform and wear my favorite dress! Tomorrow there is a thank-you banquet, and my worst feared history teacher will also come, she has always been fierce... However, as graduation approached, I was a little reluctant to be a history teacher.

Strange Dad: Congratulations, my daughter! Go crazy for a while!

……

Red Bean: Dad! I've been admitted! I got into the university you once studied! The school is so close to home that I can go back to see my mom and grandma on weekends!

Strange Dad: College life is very beautiful, you have to take advantage of it. By the way, Dad once said that you can only fall in love until college, and now that the seal is lifted, go and pursue your true love! Also, How is grandma's health? You remember to represent your dad and care more about your grandma.

……

Red Bean: Dad... Grandma passed away this morning. Winter is so hard that I don't like winter anymore.

Strange Dad: Don't worry, Dad is picking up grandma from heaven right now, and grandpa is also there, she is very happy. She also asked me to send you a message, don't be sad for her, death is just a matter of people on earth one by one, and people in heaven one by one.

……

Hongdou flipped through the text messages on his mobile phone, and before he knew it, he was already in tears.

Over the years, if it weren't for the gentleness of this strange father, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for a long time.

She has always been curious about the identity of her strange father, but because she doesn't want to accept the fact that her father has left, she has never thought of meeting her strange father.

Until a few days ago, Yan Cheng used his mobile phone number to register a short video platform account.

That's when I accidentally recommended the account to Hongdou.

Now, Hongdou has finally met this strange father, although there is a slight difference from what she imagined, such as not being old... There is a bit less hair.

But other than that, Yan Cheng is Hongdou's imaginary father.

Therefore, Hongdou also made up his mind to stay at the [Youshe] B&B no matter what, and help Yan Cheng run it well for a while.

"You...... Crying? ”

Yan Cheng's voice suddenly sounded, and Hongdou was so frightened that he threw away his mobile phone.

"Boss, when did you—when did you show up?"

Hongdou hurriedly picked up the phone and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yan Cheng sighed and said, "You look at your phone so engaged, how did you notice that I was coming." You can't do that to your guests afterwards. ”

He put the food on the square table in the courtyard, wiped his hands with an apron, and asked Hongdou: "Why are you crying, are you homesick?" ”

It's only the first day I came out to be a working boy, and I feel homesick and want to cry, it's too exaggerated, right?

Hongdou hurriedly explained: "No, I just watched a very touching video clip." ”

"Oh, that's it!"

Yan Cheng laughed: "It's okay if you don't want to go home, I'm still afraid that you will run away." ”

"Boss, I'm not going to run."

"The meal is ready, you go get the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice."

"Hmm!"

Red Beans ran into the kitchen and quickly came out with two bowls of rice.

Since Yan Cheng returned to the village, the homestay has been deserted most of the time, and it has increased its popularity when Lan Rongrong came.

Now that Yan Cheng has another red bean by his side, he usually has a companion for meals, so Yan Cheng is also happy in his heart.

Hongdou sat on the horizontal bench, saw the fragrant four dishes and one soup on the table, and couldn't help but say:

"Boss, it turns out that your cooking skills are so good! I also love this scrambled egg with tomatoes, and I also love that stir-fried meat with green peppers! ”

"If you like it, eat more, I deliberately fried an extra dish tonight, specially for you to catch the wind and wash the dust!"

Saying that, Yan Cheng opened two bottles of beer and put one bottle in front of the red bean: "Come, accompany my brother to drink!" ”

Hongdou looked at the beer in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I don't know how to drink." ”

"You're an adult, what are you afraid of?" Yan Cheng smiled, "I won't force you to drink, but people only live once, so you should try more new things." ”

Hearing this, the red bean moved, made up his mind, and took the wine to blow on the bottle.

Yan Cheng hurriedly stopped her.

"Huh?" Hongdou looked at Yan Cheng suspiciously.

Yan Cheng picked up his wine bottle and gently touched the red bean, then let go of his hand: "Cheers." ”

"Cheers!"

Red Bean smiled sweetly and poured tons of wine into his mouth.

And then—

"Poof!!"

All vomited.

……

After dinner, the slightly drunk red bean returned to her room, washed up and lay on the bed, feeling that today's experience was like a dream.

Dad has become the boss.

And he is such a young and handsome boss.

Interestingly, the boss treated me like a boy.

Hongdou could see that Yan Cheng must have felt that she was too sissy, but he was kind, not only did he not say it, but he also did not show any dislike.

He's really so kind~!

After thinking for a long time, Hongdou took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Yan Cheng:

Dad, I've passed the boss's test. In addition, I take back my evaluation of the boss, he is not a pervert, he is a very good person, just like you, Dad~

In the main room, Yan Cheng was already lying on the bed, preparing to check the reward of the system.

After receiving the text message, Yan Cheng was also happy for his strange daughter, and after pretending to be a father's reply, he threw his phone aside.

Open the System panel.

[Mission 9 completed!] (Recruitment of 1 employee)】

[Reward unlimited sets of customized homestay staff clothing! ] 】

[If the employee clothing is damaged or lost, the host can directly apply to the system to mail a new employee clothing!] 】

Well, Yan Cheng is worried that he doesn't have an employee outfit, so the system will reward him intimately.

And it's an infinite set, and the quality is definitely very good.

[All the current level tasks have been completed, and the main quest of the first stage has been completed!] 】

[Main quest reward: A mysterious giant!] 】

Mysterious...... Giants?

Yan Cheng looked at this main quest reward, a little confused.

I already have it.

Ahem......

The rewards of the main quest are definitely no worse than the side quests, and Yan Cheng is still very much looking forward to this mysterious giant.

At the same time, the panels of the system have changed slightly.

【Homestay Name: Arishe】

[Level: Entering the house]

[Number of employees: 1]

【Number of Rooms:6/6】

[B&B fund: 72033 (yuan)]

The number of employees has been added.

The Achievements panel also unlocks two new achievements today.

[Transformation of the little expert].

This achievement should refer to Yan Cheng's renovation of the old mansion and the completion of the first phase of the system task.

[Ann can tell that I am male and female].

Yan Cheng can't figure out this second achievement, why am I not separating male and female?

Could it be the two that were locked up in the backyard of the kitchen...... It's a rooster?!
