Transmigration: The Farm Life of a “Fool”

They had just sat down when Xu Ran heard the two kids call out together, “Daddy Wu.”

Xu Ran raised his head and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them.

With the memory of the fool, Xu Ran was able to tell the difference between a man and a kid.

Daddy Wu, whom Tangtang and Guoguo had just greeted, was one of Liu Tong’s only few friends in Xu Village, named Wu Mei.

Xu Ran just smiled at Wu Mei but didn’t speak anything. Anyway, as a fool, he should not know who he was.

Wu Mei, however, immediately walked up to them after hearing the two kids’ voices. He took out two candies out of his pocket and gave them to the children, after which, he gave one to Xu Ran.

The two children expressed their gratitude politely. Xu Ran looked at the candy which was identical to those given to the two kids in his hand, feeling at a loss.

Wu Mei saw his embarrassment and smiled, “Take it! It is just a candy. ”

Xu Ran said thanks slowly. Then he held the candy in his hand, thinking of keeping it for Tongtong to eat at home.

Wu Mei had just come back from the field and was ready to go home for cooking, so he left without talking more with them.

After Wu Mei left, Xu Ran and his two children also went home.

Liu Tong had just come back. Seeing that Xu Ran and the children were not in, he decided to go to look for them.

Seeing Liu Tong at the door looking around,  Xu Ran and the two children quickened their footstep.

“Tongtong!”

“Daddy!”

“Daddy!”

The man and his two kids were calling in a chorus.

At the sight of them three together, Liu Tong felt relieved right away. He rushed forward to check on them while asking with concern whether they had been bullied or injured outside.

Seeing that their dad didn’t explain, the two children told their daddy what they had done today. At the same time, they handed Liu Tong the cadies they had treasured and kept. Following the two kids, Xu Ran also stretched out his hand and showed Liu Tong the candy he got.

Liu Tong was moved seeing all these. He believed that it was worthwhile for him to devote himself for these people he cared so much.

Liu Tong walked up to Guoguo’s side and took him by the hand. And the whole family entered the house together.

Inside the house, upon seeing them, Elder Daddy Xu cursed bitterly, “Such a group of useless people! Where have you been the whole morning? Why didn’t you come back to cook until so late at noon? Since you all like so much to go out, why didn’t you die outside?”

Xu Ran darted a glance at Elder Daddy Xu and ignored him. He then turned to Liu Tong, “Tongtong, lunch… no meat, not eat…”

Liu Tong took a look at Elder Daddy Xu, who was still cursing there. He knew that Ran was angry and didn’t like Elder Daddy Xu to eat the prey Liu Tong hunted this morning, so he smiled dotingly, “Alright, I’ll follow Ran’s idea.”

The two children were not happy to be scolded, either, but they were already used to it, so they didn’t care.

Guoguo loosened Liu Tong’s hand, and then together with Tangtang led Xu Ran to their room.

Liu Tong turned around and entered the kitchen, leaving the dying rabbit aside. He didn’t plan to cook it for lunch.

Elder Daddy Xu kept scolding there for quite a long time, but he found that no one paid attention to him. He thus spitted and followed Liu Tong into the kitchen. Watching Liu Tong’s working there, he began to curse again.

Liu Tong just ignored him and let him be.

Liu Tong’s calm attitude, however, did not stop Elder Daddy Xu from scolding. He cursed all the most terrible remarks. Finally, he even wanted to get the rabbit by himself.

Liu Tong was making fire when he saw it. He turned to Elder Daddy Xu, “Daddy, we just ate meat yesterday, so we can eat this rabbit for dinner!”

The Xu Family had lived a hard life and they could only eat meat occasionally, which was from the preys hunted by Liu Tong. They didn’t even breed a pig at home.

Although Elder Daddy Xu still cursed, he didn’t keep picking on the rabbit any more.

When Liu Tong brought the rabbit back, all the family members had seen it. Seeing that there was no rabbit meat on the table, Elder Dad Xu struck the table and scolded that Liu Tong had eaten the rabbit by himself.
