Chapter 719: Chapter 716: Also Want to Snatch Her Roast Chicken

Instead, he went to buy incense, candles, and a roast chicken, quietly hiding them in the storeroom, not mentioning this to Guibao and Lu Xiaofen.

Since Guibao was young, he didn’t want his daughter involved in such things; after all, the living and the dead are different.

As for Lu Xiaofen, Chen Jianjun was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle this if she found out.

In the evening, once both of them were asleep, Chen Jianjun carefully got up, taking out hidden incense, candles and the roast chicken to the backyard. He offered them to the old man and the child, "Mr. Zhang, I’ve heard about your situation, I won’t drive you away anymore. I only hope you won’t disturb my wife and daughter this year. From now on, each time I come, I’ll burn offerings for you."

"Grandpa, we have roast chicken to eat!"

The boy couldn’t help but rushed to gobble it up. He ate as if he hadn’t eaten in hundreds of years, even the old man’s eyes turned red.

This is the first time they have had offerings since they turned into ghosts over a decade ago.

The old man’s friends either ended up like him, labeled as capitalists, mired in their own problems.

Or, they fled the country, hence no one had ever made offerings to them.

Fortunately, their souls had been attached to the poplar tree in the yard for more than a decade. They didn’t even have any consciousness, let alone feel hunger.

"Don’t worry, we won’t harm innocent people." The old man solemnly promised.

He also felt grateful.

However, Chen Jianjun could neither see nor hear them.

At this moment, Helian Qiao, who was sleeping in the house, twitched her little nose and then opened her eyes.

It smells so good!

It’s the smell of the roast chicken that she had yesterday!

Some little ghost wanted to snatch her roast chicken!

Chen Jianjun had to stop his headstrong daughter: "Guibao, this is for the two ghosts. You can’t eat it."

So she pouted and grumbled, "I want to eat it now!"

Her harsh tone was filled with a whiny and wronged undertone.

"No worries, let her have it." the old man volunteered.

Helplessly, Chen Jianjun could only tear off a drumstick for Guibao.

Helian Qiao happily accepted the drumstick, took a large bite, but spat it out in the next second, "Why is there no taste in this roast chicken? It’s disgustingly bland!"

It smelled so good just now!

What the little princess didn’t know was that once a ghost has eaten an offering, the food will look intact but lose its taste – similar to chewing wax for the living.

The little boy immediately let out a triumphant laugh, "Hehehe~"

That served her right for wanting to snatch his roast chicken!

The laughter was shrill and eerily disconcerting.

However, of the two living beings present, one couldn’t hear or see what was happening, and the other was not scared at all. The latter even thumped him on the head.

How dare he laugh at her!

The little boy’s laughter quickly turned to crying: "Wah~ Grandpa, she hit me!"

Hearing the wailing, Helian Qiao looked disgusted. She didn’t even use much strength. He was really pathetic!

She turned to look at Chen Jianjun, and said sweetly, "Dad, I’m hungry."

Actually, she wasn’t really hungry, just craving a snack!

Hearing this, Chen Jianjun immediately responded: "Then wait a moment, Dad will make you noodles!"

How could he let his precious daughter go hungry!

He headed into the kitchen, boiled water to prepare noodles, and also fried two golden egg pancakes.

"Guibao, eat."

Seeing that her bowl had two egg pancakes while her father’s only had green vegetables, she gave him an egg pancake: "Dad, you eat the egg too."

"Alright, Dad will eat too." Chen Jianjun couldn’t hide the joy on his face. His smile was that of a silly father.
