Major General's Smart And Gorgeous Wife Chapter 69.2 - Catching the thief (Part 2)

Chapter 69 – Catching the thief (Part 2)

“My wife.” Yun Ting proudly introduced her.

“h.e.l.lo Grandpa Guo.” Lin Mumu also greeted him the same as Yun Ting did.

“Are you fond of fruits?”

“En.” Lin Mumu nodded unconsciously.

“Grandpa Guo doesn’t have anything much here, but I have plenty of fruit. You can eat whatever you like, just pay attention not to eat too much and upset your stomach.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Guo.” This time, Lin Mumu was completely at ease. She could finally eat all the fruits she liked rightfully and confidently without fear of being caught like a thief.

“Grandpa Guo is my grandpa’s old comrade-in-arms. Many years ago, he received a minor leg injury and decided to retreat from the army. Since then, he’s been in charge of this orchard. He once saved my grandpa’s life before, so I’ve always called him grandpa as well.” Yun Ting simply explained the matter to Lin Mumu.

“En.” Lin Mumu nodded. The friends.h.i.+p one made on the battlefield was a life-long friends.h.i.+p.

“Grandpa Guo, can I pick some fruits by myself?” Lin Mumu noticed a jujube tree from the distance and greedily swallowed back her saliva.

“Alright, I like beautiful little dolls the most. You can eat whatever you want to as you wish. Let that stinky boy Yun Ting pick the fruits from the tree for you.” (TN: Stinky bod or smelly boy is an affectionate way to address a younger generation as an elder, it’s like saying he’s a mischievous little boy who’ll never grow up, at least in his eyes.)

“En.” Lin Mumu obediently nodded, and really pointed her finger at the highest branch of the jujube tree while very expectantly looking at Yun Ting.

Yun Ting didn’t climb the tree, but actually took out a small military knife and threw it at the branch like a dart. The knife made a circle in the air and came back to Yun Ting whom skillfully caught it. The branch that was holding seven or eight dates instantly followed by falling by Lin Mumu’s feet.

She quickly picked the several jujubes from the branch and carefully washed with well water before politely giving some to Grandpa Guo first.

“En, the little girl has pretty good insight. You can eat them and just take away those you couldn’t finish.”

“Thanks a lot, Grandpa Guo!”

As a result, when Yun Ting and Lin Mumu returned from their special training session, Lin Mumu’s pockets were full of crisp and sweet red dates.

When she took them out to share with Chen Fangya and the others, they didn’t waste the opportunity of teasing her again:

“Sir Senior Official’s special training must be really awesome. It can also teach one how to produce the fruits of love!”
