Old Leftover

This is really embarrassing; no one wants to let others see their own humiliating situation.

Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then turned his head down, and walked towards the kitchen. Yu Qingze also touched his nose and quickly looked away.

At this moment, the courtyard door was opened with a hoot, an old man hurried in with a backpack on his back, and asked, “Did Wen Li come again?!”

Hearing the old man’s voice, Chang Le stopped and turned around.

As soon as Chang Hao saw the old man, the tears he had been holding back all flowed down, he wiped his eyes fiercely, rushed over and hugged the old man’s waist to complain: “Grandpa, uncle just said that the old widower from Majia Village came again. He said that his family is rich, and he can even give ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift. That man is so old. If he is so good, why isn’t uncle letting his own son brother Yue marry him! I heard that the old widow can’t even see well. Now, he’s looking for someone to take care of him and serve him as a servant!”

When the old man heard this, he was very angry, but Wen Li was gone and couldn’t hear him. He didn’t want his two grandchildren to be sad again, so he hugged his grandson and comforted him: “Don’t pay attention to him! Xiaole, you don’t worry. With Grandpa here, he dares think about it!”

Chang Le smiled when he heard the words, nodded, and went into the kitchen.

Chang Hao heard his grandfather’s promise, and he acted coquettishly and complained. His emotions gradually calmed down, and he secretly wiped away tears on his grandfather’s clothes with embarrassment. So, he let go of his grandfather and ran over to continue collecting the millet.

After comforting the two grandsons, the old man looked at Yu Qingze who was standing at the door. Seeing that he was awake, he immediately greeted him, “Hey, young man, you are awake? How is your health?”

Yu Qingze felt a little embarrassed at first, but seeing the calm attitude of the old man, he smiled and said, “Grandpa, I’m fine, thank you for taking care of me.”

The old man took off the back basket, put it under the eaves, and waved his hands cheerfully: “No need for thanks, who can go out without encountering some small difficulties.”

The life-saving grace was downplayed by the old man as a small difficulty encountered when he was away from home. Yu Qingze admired him a lot, but he couldn’t help and expressed his gratitude very solemnly.

The old man waved his hand, and then bent down to look at Yu Qingze’s left foot. After seeing the injury looked a lot better, he said casually: “Speaking of which, it is also your fate. We usually don’t go into the mountains when it rains heavily ‘cause the road is slippery. It just so happened that Xiaole didn’t know it would rain that day and went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms, and then he found you.”

After a pause, the old man asked again: “It was raining so hard, why did you run up the mountain?”

Yu Qingze knew that this was the old man asking him about his origin. Naturally, he couldn’t tell his true origin, so he told what he had thought up before, that he was alone, his home was originally in the north, and it was not easy to live in the harsh environment of the north. Hearing that the south was prosperous, he came here and wanted to settle down, but as soon as he arrived here, his luggage was stolen, and he was penniless, so he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game and sell it for some silver. Who knew that he would be trapped on the mountain by the rainstorm and was accidentally buried.

Grandpa Chang heard this and was sighed. Knowing that he has nowhere to go now, he said enthusiastically, “You can rest here for now. After you heal your wounds, you can think about what to do next. You are still young, and the days to come are still long.”

Yu Qingze nodded his head repeatedly.

When Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao finished collecting the millet, dinner was ready.

Chang Hao seemed very excited. After washing his hands, he couldn’t wait to pull Yu Qingze to sit on the stool, then took the empty bowl on the table and ran to serve the meal.

Freshly harvested Rice!

Delicious!

“I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. I’ve been thinking about this day since the millet started to mature!” Grandpa Chang looked at his grandson and said to Yu Qingze with a smile.

Yu Qingze also smiled and nodded.

It was grilled eggplant and fish for dinner. When Chang Le put the dishes on the table, Chang Hao had quickly filled four bowls with crystal like rice grains, the fragrance wafted out of the whole room, Chang Hao sniffed and swallowed.

But he can’t eat yet.

Yu Qingze was still a little puzzled, so he saw that Chang Le took another pair of tableware, grabbed a bowl of rice with vegetables on top, put it on the offering table, and poured some wine into a small cup and set it up. Chang Hao went to the kitchen and lit three sticks of incense. After worshipping his parents, he inserted it into the incense burner.

The two brothers tacitly finished the incense, and then returned to the dinner table.

Chang Hao looked at his grandfather with bright eyes.

Grandpa Chang announced with a smile, “It’s time for dinner.” Then, he picked up his chopsticks and put a big chopstick full of fish for Yu Qingze, and then put some for Chang Le and Chang Hao, and then he ate it by himself.

When Grandpa Chang moved his chopsticks, Chang Le and Chang Hao also picked up their bowls and started to eat.

The four people at the table eating a meal together, the atmosphere was very happy to be able to taste the new rice of this year and relish the joy of harvest.

Chang Le thanks the reader for choosing hololo novels.

Yu Qingze ate his first meal in this new world.

The rice is very fragrant, but the taste of the dishes… Well, it can only be said that it is very basic, not to mention the eggplant, which is just boiled in water, and the fishy smell that was not removed. With Yu Qingze’s professional chef level, he knew for sure that there were no seasonings at the Chang family to remove the fishy smell.

It seems that he can take good care of their taste buds and stomach while he’s recovering here. Yu Qingze secretly thought about the first thing he could do to repay the Chang family.

After dinner, Yu Qingze chatted with Grandpa Chang and Chang Hao, and he finally figured out his previous doubts.

In this world, there are no women, only men. Men are divided into men and gers, with the red mole between the eyebrows as the main distinguishing sign. Men are usually tall and burly, and although gers are also men, they are weaker than men in terms of body size and strength, but they have a special ability to give birth to children!

Chang Hao is a man, and his brother Chang Le is a ger.

Yu Qingze finally understood what the middle-aged man meant when he said Chang Le was getting older. If the role of a ger is equivalent to that of a woman on earth, according to the normal marriage age of 14-18 years old for ancient women, Chang Le is 22 years old and could be considered an old ger.

But in Yu Qingze’s view, 22 years old is the age of just graduating from college, so he thinks Chang Le is still young.

He felt the magic of this world. Especially for a gay man like him, this is really a friendly and beautiful world.

The author has something to say:

Yu Qingze: If you want to catch your wife, you must first grab his stomach! Hunting plan, begin!

Chang Hao: Come on, come on, spread the flowers~~
