Chapter 22: Aunt Vera

At noon the next day,

The sun was shining brightly and the heat wave was rolling. Many old people looked kind and amiable. They were standing in the sun laughing and chatting. It was very comfortable. Some were pruning flowers and plants, some were repairing water pipes... the scene was very lively.

The blazing sun in the sky seemed to be in vain and did not affect them at all.

An old dilapidated car was driving on the narrow village road, which seemed a bit abrupt and attracted the attention of many elderly people.

Mark Tian held the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Be careful with your faces later, Vera is very good at pinching faces."

"Oh, I'm so upset!" Xiaoban lowered his head and looked out of the car window.

At this time, an old man stood on the roof, suddenly did a backflip, and landed firmly on the ground under the horrified eyes of Xiaoban.

"How is this possible! An old man who knows martial arts?" Xiaoban was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Jumping from such a high place is still a difficult move. Is this something an old man can do?

"Where?" Xiao Wen followed his gaze and found that everything was normal. There was no old man who knew martial arts.

"I think your little head must be dizzy from the heat." Xiao Wen held her chin and looked at her stupid cousin speechlessly.

"It's true!" Xiao Ben shouted, clenching his fists.

Jiang Chen's eyes were calm and unruffled. According to the vague memories in his mind, there must be something wrong with this desert town.

It’s just that you can’t alert the enemy until you understand the situation.

Due to his own time travel, the plot may not necessarily follow the original work. Mojas and Dong Wu are a good example, and there are some differences in details.

Jiang Chen turned his head and said to Xiaoban: "Okay Xiaoban, I believe what you said, but before that, you should first think about how to deal with Aunt Vera's pinching."

"Oh my God!" Xiao Ben slapped his head.

This town is not big, and soon everyone arrived at Aunt Vera's house.

As soon as we got out of the car, Aunt Vera came forward and smiled warmly: "Mark, long time no see, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all."

"Yes, Vera, this time I brought Xiaoban and Xiaowen over to see you." Mark Tian paused and continued: "I also brought another person this time. I believe you will be surprised."

"Oh? Let me see, who is the big shot?" Vera covered her mouth and chuckled.

At this time, Jiang Chen opened the car door and stepped out.

"Hello, Aunt Vera!" Jiang Chen smiled politely.

Vera's pupils suddenly shrank, first she was surprised, and then she showed a look of joy.

"Oh my god, I can't see the wrong person, is it you Jiang Chen? God has finally sent you back." Vera stepped forward and hugged Jiang Chen tightly.

Jiang Chen touched his nose and chuckled: "Yes, Aunt Vera, long time no see."

According to the memory of the original owner of the body, he has been missing for nine years. He and his parents disappeared into the vast sea without any news.

"You kid, your appearance hasn't changed at all."

Aunt Vera smiled kindly, stretched out her hands, and pinched Jiang Chen's handsome face.

Originally, Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he still had to bite the bullet and did not choose to retreat.

Xiaoban and Xiaowen were a little gloating. They stood aside and looked at Jiang Chen who had his face pinched, trying their best to suppress laughter.

But in the end, they still couldn't escape the fate of being pinched by Aunt Vera.

Not long after, Aunt Vera led everyone into the house.

"Oh my god, why does the old man's house have a strange smell..." Xiao Ben muttered, unable to help pinching his nose.

He spoke so quietly that Aunt Vera did not hear him.

Xiaowen patted his head and whispered: "Stupid, don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. After all, Xiao Ben was only ten years old, and he was still at the age where children talk without restraint.

What he said was indeed true. There was a strange smell in Vera's house, which was commonly known as the old man's smell.

Aunt Vera was very enthusiastic and called Jiang Chen and others to the dining table and motioned for them to sit down.

The dining table was filled with brown jelly-like food, which she had prepared early in the morning. It was specially made to welcome the small class and the others.

"Everyone, eat quickly, you're welcome." Vera smiled.

Xiao Ben picked up the fork and touched the coffee jelly gently, only to find that the coffee jelly kept swinging and was very elastic. He felt a chill as he looked at it.

"Vera, what are these brown lumps?" Mark Tian asked.

Aunt Vera chuckled and said, "These are the dried pork I specially prepared for you. They are delicious!"

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly. He could make dried pork into jelly. This cooking skill is totally worthy of grandpa...

"Jiang Chen, eat more, there won't be enough left in the refrigerator!" Vera still smiled kindly.

"Thank you Aunt Vera." Jiang Chen smiled dryly.

He looked down at the "dried pork" in the bowl, took a deep breath, then picked up a spoon, cut off a small piece, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Well, the taste is not as bad as expected, but the texture is a bit weird, like pork-flavored jelly.

After finishing the first bite, I didn’t want to take another bite…

"I still have you, Xiaoban. Now is the time to grow, so you must eat more meat."

As Aunt Vera said, she picked up another large piece of dried pork and put it in Xiaoban's bowl, piling it full.

"Oh, I'm so upset~" Xiao Ben held his forehead.

Next, Grandpa and Aunt Vera chatted about the past, occasionally laughing, and occasionally feeling sad and frustrated.

Jiang Chen and Xiaoban couldn't get a word in, so they just sat aside silently, staring at each other.

Interestingly, Xiaoban took advantage of Aunt Vera and Xiaowen's inattention and directly poured all the pork jerky in the bowl into Xiaowen's bowl. Tianlai Novel Network

Xiaowen was furious, making everyone laugh.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Xiaoban was a little bored and left his seat with an excuse.

It's simply fatal for a person of his age to stay with those old antiques!

Jiang Chen's eyes condensed, and he turned to look at Xiaoban's back as he left...

The sun was shining and the weather was fine.

At this time, Xiaoban had come outside the house, like a bird that had escaped from a cage, breathing fresh air wantonly.

"Finally freed!" Xiaoban stretched.

Suddenly, a charming fragrance came, hooking Xiaoban's taste buds.

"It smells so good, there must be something to eat nearby!" Xiaoban looked excited and ran in the direction of the smell.

Whenever he thought of the pork jerky made by Aunt Vera, he felt a chill and had no appetite at all. Now smelling this fragrance, it was like the difference between heaven and hell.

Soon, Xiaoban came to a window, where there was a tempting cheese pizza, steaming hot, and constantly emitting a rich aroma.

In the house, a middle-aged woman was swatting flies. Xiaoban was about to call her, but he hesitated.

"Let's wait until she finishes swatting the flies..." Xiaoban muttered.

But the next scene made him open his eyes wide...
