You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 321 Finding a Stepmother for Yourself (Thanks to Book Friend Jingzhigua)

noon.

By the time the food was served, Old Man Bai was almost starving.

He really didn't expect that Abai would cook in the kitchen with Ling Shumo. It was really a lot of trouble.

It was also the first time that I had the opportunity to taste the food made by the "Mo Ran Shuangjie" themselves.

Everything that that ruffian Abai did before can be ignored.

Peaceful years?

Several people gathered around the table, the warm and gentle atmosphere made people feel warm.

The whole table was filled with light side dishes, alternating between green and white, mostly steamed or boiled, without a single spicy or greasy dish.

Old Man Bai was a little confused: "Do you all eat such bland food?"

Ling Shumo glanced at the person next to him, his face flushed slightly: "Yes...it's good for your health..."

Someone's eyes were wandering, with a half-smile on his face, pretending not to hear.

At the same time, the two people's gazes met.

Everyone knows the reason...

One of them ate rice fiercely while the other pretended to scoop soup, and they seemed to understand each other tacitly.

Only Ah Yan was left with a serious expression: "This fish soup looks quite tasty."

In comparison, at least this steamed fish is a meat dish, and it is even the only one that does not look green or white.

Soon, it became a popular dish at the table.

However, Bai Wan did not follow the old-fashioned rules of hierarchy between father and son. He almost picked up his chopsticks and grabbed the fish at the same time as Bai Laodi.

A ruffian is still a ruffian after all.

Even now, he looks elegant, refined and handsome.

He is even a world-famous painter who can influence the current situation.

At this time, the painting saint turned into a rogue and was shamelessly fighting with his adoptive father for a piece of fish.

After he snatched the meat, he boasted, "Dad, you've become worse after not practicing for a long time. What should I do?"

Old Man Bai snorted lightly: "Not counting, two out of three, three out of five!"

The people around him were stunned, finally understanding where some of these habits were learned from.

Ling Shumo silently picked up the dishes, and occasionally secretly put the fish into Bai Wan's bowl while the two were fighting.

There is no such thing as a gentleman.

He was like a thief, taking a peek, reaching for his chopsticks, picking up the food, and putting the bowl down all in one go.

When Old Man Bai discovered this, he was so ashamed and angry that he dragged A Yan into the battle.

This scene is really confusing!

The whole little bamboo house seemed bustling with activity, and no one was at all restrained.

When everything was over, Old Man Bai was lying lazily on the chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Bai Wan and Bai Lao Di had just been chatting for a while when the atmosphere immediately became more down-to-earth.

But as they were chatting, this scoundrel had prepared a portrait album and vowed to propose marriage to Old Man Bai.

The whole house immediately exploded. He was actually going to find a stepmother for himself?!

Bai Jinshun, who is already in his fifties, got a booklet, which contained all the women within a ten-mile radius who were suitable for him.

There was a pretty widow with a child, a female hunter who was a master at hunting, and fishermen like him...

The number of people Bai Wan prepared for him was at least thirty, which was simply astonishing.

A Yan's eyes were wide open.

According to what he learned, the reason for bringing Old Man Bai to Caizhou this time was, firstly, to take care of him nearby, and secondly, to confess their relationship.

Now everyone's attention is focused on one thing: finding a wife for Old Man Bai.

For the first time, Bai Jinshun felt helpless as his own son was arguing with him.

Then, he didn't argue.

Not only did he not refute, he even grinned at the album.

Bai Wan calmly picked up the brush and started drawing, only thinking that the old man's embarrassed look was rare.

The brushwork is vigorous and each stroke is of even color.

Having never painted Old Man Bai before, I was hesitant and even hesitated to start painting...

In the end, he drew his biological parents, Zichen's biological parents, and Bai Jinshun on the same picture.

The entire thatched house in the painting is brightly lit, with a strong smell of fireworks, and several people are smiling as if they are a family.

Bai Wan sighed calmly, feeling that he had not seen what home was like for a long time.

No one noticed that this cynical and usually hypocritical painting master revealed an imperceptible sadness.

If only it could continue like this...

In the study room.

During the Daqing Northern Expedition, the illustrated tabloid "Tiao Bao" had been discussing the news of the war between the two countries.

There weren't many detectives out there looking for information, so occasionally they'd fabricate it.

However, due to the wide scope of penetration, some officials would provide informal information to their printing and selling cities.

In fact, the imperial court also needed to use tabloid media to understand the direction of public opinion, border affairs, wars, and the situation between the two countries.

However, they did not know that this newly established "Tiao Bao" came from the Dingbei Painting Society of Han Miaoran and others.

Bai Wan and Ling Shumo are reviewing the matters of the Dingbei Painting Society.

Ling Shumo felt a little tired from writing, and occasionally glanced at people with a half-smile.

Bai Wan's face flushed from being stared at: "You've already stared at me twelve times, what's the matter?"

"nothing!"

We had agreed to be honest, but Old Man Bai has been here for several days and hasn't said a word... He just asked someone to go on a blind date.

This is different from the original idea.

"Are you trying to ask me why I didn't mention our affairs? Why I only arranged a blind date for Dad?"

Ling Shumo turned his head, smiled leisurely, and just stared at the person without saying a word.

Bai Wan twisted the brush tassel in her hand and came forward: "Why don't you ask me?!"

It's infuriating to see this person so calm, and pretending to know nothing even though he is clearly confident.

No one would act rashly without careful consideration.

Ling Shumo smiled and cooperated: "Then I'm really curious, can you please tell me?"

It's just a lie.

Bai Wan then raised his chin and confessed: "I'm helping Dad find a companion. It's great for him to have someone close to him!"

"to be honest--"

Ling Shumo's gaze was so fixed that it frightened the people who saw it.

Bai Wan narrowed his eyes evilly: "Parents want their children to get married, firstly to keep their children, and secondly to worry about their children's miserable old age."

After saying this, he laughed very frivolously.

"Since he wants incense, he can just have another child himself. Doesn't it make any difference whether it's his son or his father?"

"Besides, we have prepared a new yard for him on a nearby hilltop. We should be grateful for what we have received."

Bai Wan firmly believes that if he takes good care of Old Man Bai's health, it is not impossible for him to remain strong and healthy in his old age.

Such a bizarre and rebellious idea...

It is really admirable.

"Even my father has betrayed me, what else can I not do?"

Ling Shumo smiled, and his hands, which had finally calmed down, began to tremble at the man's words.

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he was still able to review the documents calmly.

Then, Bai Wan quietly uttered a few words: "Only a fool would confront someone head-on!"

He had confessed it to Ling Han and the others face to face before because they were his brothers and naturally had no way of objecting.

To deal with Dad, you have to use a different method.

Slowly digging...

Ling Shumo looked at this complacent man and gently stroked his messy black hair.

"Isn't it tiring to prepare that entire list in secret?"

"you guess?"

Bai Wan looked at people provocatively and smiled evilly.

He couldn't say that he helped someone fight with a big white goose a few days ago, and then recruited a few more brothers in Guojia Village to get it.
