"I’ll catch one chicken for each of you later!"

Everyone: ...

Xiao Jie’s home is right at the entrance of Xinqiao Village, and the chicken farm is just in the farmland in front of their house. Xiao Jie’s Grandpa had specifically fenced off a large area of their own farmland for raising chickens. Not to mention thousands, there were certainly a few hundred just by looking around.

The cameraman brother very cooperatively moved the camera to that area of the chicken farm, and when the viewers in the live stream saw this, they were also stunned:

[My goodness! So many chickens?]

[When that kid said there were a lot of chickens earlier, I guessed at most it would be about a dozen or a few dozen, but to have this many...]

[Not gonna lie, I was feeling sorry for this little boy just now, but it turns out I’m the one to be pitied, he’s got a chicken farm, and here I am, a poor brick mover...]

[All these chickens running around on the ground are like fried chicken, roast chicken, grilled chicken, beggar’s chicken, red-cooked chicken pieces, Chinese yam chicken soup to me...]

[The second episode of the kids’ show is making me hungry, I’m not going to talk anymore; I want to order some fried chicken takeaway!]

Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t taken the child’s words seriously just now, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she was truly a bit stunned.

"Hmm, there really are a lot!" She said with a mild smile on her face as she patted Xiao Jie on the head.

Shen Yibo and Song Yuchen also cheerfully cheered, "Wow~ Big brother, your family really does have a lot of chickens."

Feeling very proud, Xiao Jie said, "Of course, these are all raised by my grandpa."

[Little buddy, I felt so sorry for you on the street just now, but now I’m so envious of him]

[How come this child’s family raises so many chickens and he’s still so thin? Eating one chicken a day should have fattened him up.]

[You can’t say that, it’s a matter of body constitution, some kids are just naturally skinny.]

Xiao Jie’s Grandpa invited everyone inside to have tea, but Ye Zhenzhen declined, saying that they would have to leave after visiting Huanhuan and her siblings...

While everyone was being polite outside, Xiao Jie’s Grandma came out from the house. The elderly lady had an apron tied around her waist, with her sleeve ends rolled up high, and her hands were red and dripping with water, indicating she had been working inside and gotten cold.

When Xiao Jie’s Grandma saw the big group of people outside, she smiled and asked Xiao Jie’s Grandpa, "Old man, what’s going on here?"

With a chuckle, Xiao Jie’s Grandpa pointed to the new cotton-padded jacket Xiao Jie was wearing, "The clothes Xiao Jie is wearing were given by this young lady, and she even gave two sets.

"This young lady said she wanted to buy a chicken, so I said I would bring them home and catch one of our chickens for her."

When they had first gotten on the donkey cart, Xiao Jie’s Grandpa had put the new clothes Ye Zhenzhen had given on his grandson. The blue down jacket fit well, much better than wearing his rough cotton-padded coat.

Frowning in dissatisfaction, she looked at Xiao Jie’s Grandpa, "You sure know how to do business. That chicken is only worth a few bucks, but this coat is so thick, it mustn’t be cheap."

Xiao Jie’s Grandma looked at the clothes her grandson was wearing, which, upon feeling them, seemed to be even better than those Xiao Jie’s mom had bought for her son, and also warmer. Although she hadn’t been to big cities much, she knew that these clothes weren’t cheap.

She turned her head and smiled at Ye Zhenzhen, "You really are a kind-hearted young lady. I was just saying you can’t expect this old man to buy clothes for the children."

After understanding the situation, Xiao Jie’s Grandma warmly gestured to everyone while holding Ye Zhenzhen’s hand, "Don’t stand outside, everyone, come inside and have a seat, it’s so cold out here..."

Xiao Jie’s Grandpa told his wife, "I’ve already invited them in, but they have to go to Huanhuan’s Home and have things to do."

"Then... then, young lady, wait for me for a moment."

Xiao Jie’s Grandma said these words as she took off her apron and went inside the house. After just three or four minutes, when she came back out, she had a few 100 yuan bills in her hand.

"Miss, take this money. Your clothes look expensive. We can’t let you suffer a loss..."

"No, please don’t, Grandma..."

In that moment, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt as though she was there to collect the money for the clothes!

Even though Xiao Jie’s family situation was not bad, Ye Zhenzhen had already said she would give the clothes to Xiao Jie, so naturally, she would not accept the money.

[I have to say, the quality of this family is really high. The money Grandma has in her hand must be not less than 1000, if not 800.]

[Five or six hundred, maybe. The stack doesn’t look that thick.]

[This family isn’t strapped for cash. It’s really good of them to do this.]

Ye Zhenzhen pulled back and forth with the grandma a couple of times with a very determined attitude and then explained the specific reason for her visit and her intention of giving clothes to the children...

She was absolutely not going to take the money.

Xiao Jie’s Grandma, slightly embarrassed after hearing what Ye Zhenzhen said, smiled and then explained why Xiao Jie was out on the street wearing his grandpa’s cotton-padded jacket;

On ordinary days, the old couple saved money wherever they could, just to accumulate enough for their son and daughter-in-law working in Haicheng to buy a house and settle down sooner, so they could then bring Xiao Jie to the city for a better education.

So, in terms of clothing, the grandparents didn’t pay too much attention. Xiao Jie’s Grandpa had been wearing the same cotton-padded jacket for several years, still wearing it even with patch after patch.

Since Xiao Jie started school, his clothes were all bought online and sent by his mother.

His mother felt that the grandparents were already working hard taking care of Xiao Jie, and buying clothes in town not only cost money but also often didn’t result in good purchases.

Therefore, for the past few years, it had always been the mother buying Xiao Jie’s clothes online and shipping them back. Before, Grandma thought the clothes from last year were still wearable, so she only asked the mother to buy one new cotton-padded jacket, saving up to buy new clothes for the child during the New Year.

Buying too much and not finishing wearing them meant they’d be too small by the next year.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie just wore the new cotton-padded jacket that his mother bought for him yesterday and accidentally burned a big hole in it.

The two old cotton-padded jackets from last year washed by Grandma were still not dry.

Xiao Jie’s mother bought a new cotton suit online overnight for the little guy and then asked Grandpa to take Xiao Jie to the market to buy a piece of clothing to make do for the time being...

That was the scene Ye Zhenzhen had witnessed on the street.

[Hahaha, Ye Jianjian’s show-off fail, that family is already preparing to buy a house in Haicheng, they don’t need her charity!]

[Isn’t Xiao Jie wearing the clothes provided by our Zhenzhen?]

[To be honest, I originally thought that Ye Zhenzhen would end up helping another poor grandfather-grandson duo like in the first episode, followed by the production team hyping it up on the trending searches, but now...]

[At first, I suspected there was a script. But looking at it now, it seems like there’s no script...]

[Anyway, Ye Jianjian’s attempt to show off has failed. She brought a few clothes to give away, only to find that the family is doing so well. Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter!]

What prompted Xiao Jie’s Grandma to share all this with Ye Zhenzhen was her desire not to give the impression that they were pretending to be poor to get the clothes from Ye Zhenzhen.

After explaining the situation with Xiao Jie’s clothes, they prepared to head over to Huanhuan’s home, led by Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie’s Grandpa pulled his wife aside and whispered, "Wife, go catch a few chickens and get them ready, so we can give them something to take with them..."

"Okay," Xiao Jie’s Grandma answered, ready to head to their chicken coop.

Once Xiao Jie’s Grandpa finished giving instructions, he also followed the others toward Huanhuan’s house.
