Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

Chapter 204 - 204 He’s a Real Man

204 He’s a Real Man

Xiaoguo watched Yang Jia leave and shook her head. This child was really polite. He wasn’t being polite for polite’s sake.

“Who was here?”

Just as Yang Jia left, Jiang Danhe came out of the bathroom and saw the door closing.

“Yang Jia, he was here to exchange books.”

Xiaoguo didn’t even look up. She was too busy with the fruits in her hands.

Jiang Danhe deliberately stood beside Xiaoguo for a while, but she still had no intention of looking up. In the end, he pursed his lips and entered the house.

As he returned to the house to get dressed, he thought to himself, “It seems that seducing her with these abs is not really working out.”

That’s right. Jiang Danhe did not put on his clothes immediately after washing up. Instead, he only wore his pants. He did think about coming out without his pants at first, but he was afraid of scaring Xiaoguo. So he still put them on shyly, leaving only his upper body bare.

Unfortunately, in Xiaoguo’s eyes, his perfect body was nothing compared to those thorny fruits.

Jiang Danhe put on his shirt regrettably and tidied up the clothes he had changed out of. However, he suddenly felt jittery. “Where is the book?”

Jiang Danhe rummaged around. Where had he left it yesterday?

After rummaging around without success, Jiang Danhe calmed down and thought carefully. He had seen it while changing in the morning, but it was gone now. He had gone out with Xiaoguo earlier and when they returned, only one person had dropped by the house—Yang Jia!!

Jiang Danhe pushed open the door and ran out. Xiaoguo called out to him, and he gave her a random excuse. Before Xiaoguo could ask further, he ran off.

He was still hoping that he could get there in time.

Before he could knock, Yang Jia had opened the door. He was holding a book in his hand and his face was flushed. When he saw Jiang Danhe, he realized who the book belonged to.

Jiang Danhe was embarrassed and wanted to explain, but Yang Jia was too shy to listen. As soon as he saw Jiang Danhe, he immediately handed over the book. After hesitating for a long time, he said, “Brother is a real man!”

“Yang Jia, listen to me…”

Unexpectedly, the only response Jiang Danhe received was a door shutting in his face. “Let me explain…”

“Alright, from today onwards, I won’t be seeing Yang Jia anymore.”

Jiang Danhe gloomily returned to the house with the book and hid it in the deepest corner of his bag. He had to find a chance to get rid of everything!

On the other side, Yang Jia returned to the house and patted his burning face. He didn’t expect to see a flower encyclopedia when he was picking out the books. He thought that it was a book about the different types of flowers. To think that it was that kind of book. Thinking of the illustrations on it, Yang Jia immediately recited the Heart Sutra to calm himself down.

However, he sighed again in his heart. “Brother Jiang was indeed a real man!”

_

When Jiang Danhe returned home, he felt uneasy as he thought about it. It was better to discard these books as soon as possible, in case they caused more misunderstandings..

“I’m going out for a while.”

Jiang Danhe covered his stomach nervously and said goodbye to Xiaoguo without looking back.

Xiaoguo was peeling the chestnuts in her hand. She tossed a strange look in the direction he had left, but she didn’t pay further attention to it. At this moment, all she could think about was the chestnuts at her feet.

Jiang Danhe held the books in his arms and carefully avoided the crowd along the way. He arrived at the river outside the village. He was thinking of throwing the books into the water, but on second thought, he felt that it was inappropriate. Firstly, it would pollute the river. Secondly, it would be terrible if the books drifted back to the village and got picked up by someone.

Then, he came to the foot of the mountains. There was a broken cliff there. He came across it when he was out earlier in the day. It had not been there before this.

Jiang Danhe stood at the top and looked down. It was bottomless. Very good. He was very satisfied with the height. If he threw everything over, no one would discover them.

Just as he was about to throw the books off the cliff, someone suddenly called his name from behind.

“Danhe?”

Jiang Danhe’s body stiffened. He quickly retracted his hand and put the books back into his arms. He turned around calmly. “Brother Yang.”

“What are you doing here?” Brother Yang nodded and carefully walked towards Jiang Danhe. He grabbed him and pulled him away from the edge.

When they reached leveled ground, he asked him curiously.

At this moment, Jiang Danhe realized that Brother Yang was accompanied by many men behind him. There were also a few familiar faces in the crowd. Jiang Danhe nodded at them before answering Brother Yang, “I just discovered a cliff here. I was worried that someone could fall from here, so I came over to take a look.”

Jiang Danhe lied calmly. When Brother Yang and the others heard this, they nodded in agreement.

“We just realized it too. It wasn’t here before. I don’t know why the ground suddenly collapsed. We have come here to fence the place up with rocks.”

After Brother Yang finished speaking, Jiang Danhe realized that each of them was holding a hemp rope. Were they going to use the rope to drag the rocks?

Since he had bumped into them, how could Jiang Danhe leave just like that? He had to join in and help.

Seeing that Jiang Dange was about to get down to work, Brother Yang quickly stopped him. The others didn’t know that he was a general, but Brother Yang did. He couldn’t possibly let a general do such menial work. “Danhe, Xiaoguo is alone at home. You should go back first.”

As he spoke, he winked at Jiang Danhe, signaling him to hurry back.

Jiang Danhe was about to refuse Brother Yang, but before he could speak, a dissatisfied voice sounded from the crowd. “Brother, what are you saying? Who doesn’t have a wife who is alone at home?”

When Brother Yang heard this, his expression turned cold. Brother Yang had a say in this group, so everyone was used to listening to him. Wearing a frown on his face, he turned around and was prepared to lash out at the man who spoke out.

When Jiang Danhe saw that, he quickly stopped Brother Yang and shook his head at him. “It’s okay. Let’s work together.” The sooner he was done, the sooner he could get rid of the books.

Brother Yang didn’t know what Jiang Danhe was thinking, but he was inexplicably touched by his words. It was a great honor to have such a high-ranking official do laborious work with them. No wonder he could get to his position as a general. He was definitely not someone who lazed around and did nothing.

With that thought in mind, Brother Yang stopped smiling and rolled his eyes at the young man behind him. Lazy people make the most noise.

Just like that, the group worked together to find a big rock and secured it with a rope. They dragged it to a spot about five meters in front of the cliff and adjusted it to stand on the ground. In fact, they didn’t need a tall structure. As long as it serves its warning purpose, it was enough.

Jiang Danhe had put in a lot of effort. As he was thinking about throwing the books, he worked especially hard.

Because of that, Brother Yang kept looking at him with an admiring gaze while they were working. Jiang Danhe was feeling anxious, but Brother Yang kept talking to him. He tried to find an opportunity to leave alone, but he didn’t manage to do it. Eventually he had to walk with everyone to their respective houses.

When he finally found the perfect excuse to leave, Jiang Danhe was already physically and mentally exhausted. Whenever there was an emergency, all sorts of things would come knocking on his door.

Forget it. The further he went, the more trouble there would be. Jiang Danhe decided to throw the books nearby. He randomly found a pit and threw them in. Looking at the books that were camouflaged under the weeds, Jiang Danhe finally smiled in relief.

He clapped his hands and walked back. On the way, he bumped into Xiaohu who was playing with his friends. Since he was in a good mood, he played with the children for a while before going home.

Of course, although it was called playing, it was just him standing at the side and letting the children climb on him. Whoever got onto his shoulder would be the winner.

It was inevitable. It was very difficult to find a person who had the same physique as Jiang Danhe in the village. He was tall and strong. The other men were either short or scrawny. Therefore, it was rare for the children to encounter a human wall like Jiang Danhe. They were quite happy with their playmate.

Xiaohu reluctantly bade farewell to Jiang Danhe. Seeing how unhappy his friends were, Xiaohu suggested going to the grass pit to play. When the children heard this, they were overjoyed. The group walked towards the grass pit where Jiang Danhe had disposed of the books.
