Chapter 18: Dinner

After cleaning the blood and cutting the meat, I saw the deer meat which was clean and beautiful. The pink color makes you hungry.

"Phew… I didn't expect that cleaning this meat would take so long… now it's time to go home and cook, but before that…"

I'll split the meat rations. I cut it into 4 pieces.

One for me, of course it has to be the biggest. I'm still growing though.

The second is for Xiao San, he is also still a three year old kid. You have to eat a lot in order to grow fast.

The third is for grandfather Jack, I owe him a great debt of gratitude. I should at least be able to repay him with this.

The fourth and the smallest part is Tang Hao. To be honest I don't want to give him but he has also helped me my life.

The meat distribution is over. What should I cook for tonight? Do you still have spices at home?

I'd better look for it now, because right now I'm still in the forest there should be some herbs.

Finished with all the preparations in the forest, I immediately walked back to the village. The distance is not too far so the journey is also fast.

Arriving at the village gate, I entered without hesitation. Around I saw several children who were frightened when they saw me.

And also some old people who gathered to gossip. But I ignored them, it's normal so nothing special.

Ignoring them, I walked towards grandpa Jack's house to give the meat that was behind me.

Before arriving at his house, I saw Grandpa Jack who was walking towards his house.

Activating Stealth once again, I walked over to him. Aiming to startle her, don't think that I'm a brat~.

I'm doing this for the good of Grandpa Jack. Because grandpa Jack had a hard time getting old. Because of that, every time I met him I always surprised him.

This was done to provide shock therapy~• therefore, it's not my fault~• you can't call me a brat~.

"..... Waaaaaa.....!"

"?!!! What?! What happened?!!!"

Grandpa Jack jumped up and screamed in surprise, his face showing a very cute expression.

" Ahahahaha Grandpa Jack. Your reactions are as funny as ever. I can't stop laughing. Hahaha."

"You brat!!! Stop startling me every time!!! It's not good for my heart. I feel like I could die at any moment!!!"

"Pfft-ahahahaha… but aren't you still alive? You look even younger, isn't that because of the shock therapy I gave you?"

" What's getting younger!!! I feel like I've lost 10 years!!! … *Sigh* … what do you want this time?"

After taking a deep breath, grandpa Jack decided to give in. He knew that he couldn't win in an argument against me.

We'd done this many times, but Grandpa Jack had never once won a fight against me in a fight.

This has become my daily fun to close the afternoon.

" Hehehe, this time I came to give you this…"

I took Jack's grandfather's portion of meat and gave it to him.

"Oh, as usual, thank you. But your life must be tough huh. At your age you should be playing with other kids…. *Sigh*.... That Tang Hao…"

"It's okay grandpa Jack, I'd rather hunt animals than play with small children."

"You… you're also actually a child right? You and Tang San should be enjoying your childhood."

"I don't think Xiao San really likes playing with kids either. Alright grandpa Jack, now I have to go home and cook, bye."

Without waiting for a reply from grandfather Jack, I've stepped towards the house by waving at grandfather Jack.

Tang Hao's house was in the west of the village. A simple house made of bricks and which has three rooms.

Because Tang Hao's house was also close to Grandpa Jack's house. I immediately reached the house without many steps.

" I am home…"

I entered the house without knocking. Found Tang Hao sitting with bottles of alcohol strewn across the table.

"Brother, you're home already. I thought you'd be late so I'll start cooking."

I walked in and headed for Tang Hao. He gave her a cynical and disdainful look.

"I'll take a shower first, Xiao San you help me prepare the kitchen…"

Giving directions to Xiao San then looked back at Tang Hao sarcastically. I kicked his chair and woke him up.

"Oi, trash… Wake up, clean yourself up. You look like trash that smells like shit…"

"Brat… don't provoke me… go away, don't bother me…"

With that Tang Hao went back to sleep holding the alcohol bottle. I kicked his chair one more time to wake him up.

"Hmp- Useless trash, at least take care of yourself. You're only a nuisance to me and Xiao San."

I walked away leaving Tang Hao behind and ignored his grumbling.

This guy, all he does is drink alcohol all day. Although sometimes forging, but the results of the money are also used to buy alcohol again.

Leaving the meat on the kitchen counter, I made my way to the bathroom to clean myself up.

Ah~~ the feeling is so amazing, after finishing the hard training I feel so tired.

This bath made me feel like I was reborn. Like I got hit by magic~.

Dude, that shower is amazing. This is one of the things I love to do after training. For those of you who don't rarely or never take a shower.

You're gonna regret it bro. It felt like I was reborn and like my body was cleansed of all impurities.

Let's put bathing aside for later, I'll make sure you lazy people understand the joy of bathing.

After taking a bath, come out feeling purified. I happily stepped into the kitchen.

There I saw Xiao San climbing up a chair to reach the kitchen table. You know, we're still kids. So it's only natural that we're not even tall enough to reach the kitchen table.

So, please don't laugh at him. Watching him struggle to reach the kitchen table was hilarious.

*Ahem*

I coughed once to suppress my laughter and caught Xiao San's attention. Shooting Two birds with one stone, indeed, I sometimes fear my own genius.

"Big Brother, have you finished washing up? I was just about to finish preparing the seasonings."

Xiao San turned to me, I just nodded my head to answer him. Look at the kitchen table full of spices.

"Xiao San, you go first. Wake your father and tell him to wash his face, I believe he hasn't."

With that, Xiao San got off the chair and walked towards the front. Now it's my turn, I climb on his chair and take the meat.

Don't laugh at me, I'm also not tall enough to reach the kitchen table.

It took 30 minutes to finish cooking. Bringing the pot to the dining table, I shouted calling.

"Xiao San, time to eat…"

I was sure that Xiao San would come by himself, so I approached the other residents of the house.

Kicking the chair he was sitting on, I hit the table and said.

"Oi, trash. Wake up, otherwise there's no dinner for you."

Tang Hao woke up dizzy, a sleepy look in his eyes.

His face was still dirty, and he still smelled. I bet he hasn't washed his face yet. God, to talk to this person is so difficult.

Tang Hao stood up and walked towards the dining table. But I got in his way, not before he'd washed his face and gotten rid of his body odor.

"What are you doing, Brat…."

"I won't allow a dirty and smelly person like you to eat. Quickly wash your face first."

I ordered coldly, my eyes full of reproach at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao ignored what I said and continued walking. Ok if that's what you want, I still have things to threaten him with.

" If you don't wash your face, you won't get dinner, from now onwards…"

I said coldly to him. Although this sounds like a threat to children. But this thing was extremely powerful for Tang Hao.

All because of my really good cooking, true, I'm not proud or arrogant… I actually am a little proud and arrogant but just a little bit.

Actually my cooking is very good, it seems I have talent in this field. Even the teacher praised me.

In the past, when I was on the Battlefield, sometimes I also got the job of cooking even though my position should be higher.

Tang Hao stopped and turned to me. It says 'don't mess with me'. But I ignored him and walked past Tang Hao.

"*Sigh*...."

Sighing, Tang Hao admitted defeat and walked towards the bathroom.

Xiao San who was already sitting on his seat admired me with sparkling eyes.

"Your brother is great, you can even persuade my father. Even though I as his son can't…"

I feel the sadness in his words.

"Xiao San, to persuade someone like your father. You can only threaten him and never give in."

I gave him a bit of advice and sat down in my seat. In front of me is a table with food served on it.

After waiting for Tang Hao, dinner started.
