Chapter 450: Chapter 384: Ending, Setting Sail!

You can only smell the aroma of meat, but can’t eat a bit of it, even a dog can’t stand it!

Chen Mo sighed, “Forget it, when I braised beef yesterday, I made some extra. I’ll give some to Uncle Youfu.”

Chen Jinping pulled Chen Mo, “You give it to him, he’ll give it all to the dogs, and only eat at the end himself.”

Chen Mo didn’t find this unusual.

Just like parents always let their children eat the best first, in Dog Commander’s heart, the dogs are more important than himself, let him do as he wishes.

“It’s fine, the food is clean anyway, Uncle Youfu came all the way here, we can’t let him leave empty-handed, right?”

In our community, it’s most taboo to do that, word would get out and people would laugh their heads off.

Chen Jinping had to nod, “As you wish.”

Chen Mo ran back and scooped a big pork knuckle from the bucket, along with three pig trotters, and brought them over in a bowl, “Mom, let’s have some more steamed buns.”

There were plenty of steamed buns.

“Alright.”

Liu Xiuzhen quickly brought out a plate of steamed buns from the house, a total of eight, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Dog Commander.

“Blessed! Blessed~”

Dog Commander pinched out a steamed bun from the bag, “Big Dog!”

“Woof!”

“Second Dog!”

“Woof woof!”

Eight buns, he didn’t eat a single one himself, all thrown to the dogs.

Then ripped some meat from the knuckle and threw it to the dogs, he just sucked his fingers.

Chen Mo found it both infuriating and amusing.

Saying he’s pitiful, yet he doesn’t eat the meat himself, giving it all to the dogs.

Saying he’s irritating, but these dogs accompany Uncle Youfu all day, going to the mountains and rivers, pretty happy.

“Youfu, you’ve got food and drink, head back, get back early!”

Youfu looked at Chen Jinping, “Blessed!”

Sticking a piece of pig trotter bone into his mouth to suck, carried a nylon bag, and left the yard, followed by eight dogs breathing steam behind him.

Jiang Fei watched Youfu’s back, “Why does it seem this guy is living happier than me?”

Zhang Yaling pinched him grumpily, “Then I’ll get you a few dogs too, you can go live with Youfu.”

“Oh, I’m just saying. Hurry up, let’s help clean up.”

A group of people immediately went busy again.

Liu Xiuzhen and a few aunties sat in the yard taking care of cleaning.

“These plates are so clean, not a bit of grease, just a rinse will do.”

“The table is easy to clean too, not even a crumb, one wipe and it’s done.”

“Hey, how come not even a bone is left, I remember we ate the knuckle, where’s that big bone gone?”

Mu Mu jumped over, “I saw it! An auntie at our table packed it away, said to make soup at home, definitely still flavorful.”

Everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

The feast indeed seemed a bit ridiculous.

Chen Mo and Hou Yao were busy setting two tables according to the day’s banquet standards, letting those who helped stay for a meal.

At first, the uncles and aunties were laughing at how gluttonous today’s guests were, but then they realized they had become the same.

The meal finally finished.

The yard returned to its original quietness, Jiang Fei hadn’t left, joining even the complimentary meal, his fighting power not as strong as the first time, but still ate plenty.

“Xiaochen, come out for a moment.” Jiang Fei waved at the door, “Get in the car.”

Chen Mo followed and got into the passenger seat, something was thrown onto his leg as soon as he closed the car door.

“I don’t care about how much outside catering costs, this is my gesture.” Jiang Fei seemed to know Chen Mo would definitely refuse, and pressed his hand, “Do you understand sentiment? Not accepting it means you look down on me. We won’t be able to get along in the future!”

Chen Mo squeezed the red envelope, at least Ten Thousand Yuan thick.

Given his current skills, it wasn’t much money.

But you can’t always measure human interaction with money, yet Jiang Fei spoke so frankly, Chen Mo couldn’t refuse, put the money in his pocket, and took out several red envelopes from another pocket.

“Boss Jiang, I’ve written names on these, some are your relatives, some are colleagues from our company. They all said they wanted me to organize a banquet, hehe, I’m just helping out, how could I manage all this, could you help me return them?”

Jiang Fei looked at the stack of red envelopes and took them begrudgingly, “Alright, got it.”

The two were silent for a moment, Jiang Fei lit a cigarette and asked, “What’s the plan now? Still driving around?”

Chen Mo uncharacteristically lit a cigarette too, leaned the seat back half-reclined, “Drive around, nothing else to do, I haven’t seen all of the beautiful landscapes of our country yet.”

“Really envy you. But you can’t do this forever either.” Jiang Fei cocked his head and signaled with his chin, “Mu Mu is a pretty nice girl, what’s your thinking?”

“Boss Jiang, you…”

Chen Mo took a puff, which Jiang Fei snatched and put out, the leftover half-cigarette went back into the pack.

“You punk don’t even inhale, wasting my cigarettes.”

“I don’t intend to date or marry now, Mu Mu is nice, but she’s still young!”

Only an intern, just graduated, only twenty-two.

“Whatever.”

Jiang Fei pondered for a moment but didn’t tell Chen Mo about continuing the salary, as he had a habit of announcing things only when they were implemented.

Otherwise announcing prematurely and things changing, would make everyone awkward.

They silently sat in the car for a while, and after Jiang Fei finished his cigarette, they got out in tacit understanding, Jiang Fei left Jiuniu Pass with his wife and kids.

Chen Jinping dismantled and loaded tables with the uncles, preparing to return them to town.

Looking at the small courtyard and his busy parents, Chen Mo knew he ultimately couldn’t stay home forever, feeling a bit reluctant, not knowing how to tell his parents he was leaving.

“If you don’t know how to say it, then don’t say it.”

Chen Mo saw Mu Mu also helping his parents, “This girl, sigh.”

If it were his old self, having a girl like Mu Mu around every day, Chen Mo would have made ten social media posts a day out of pride.

But now.

Remembering that moment on the 28th floor, Chen Mo realized he was no longer who he used to be since that incident.

When one is truly close to death, they find that things like marriage, childbirth, career, effort, and struggle.

Are all nonsense.

Fortunately, since that moment, Chen Mo gained the ability to live his dream life, so why be bound by convention?

Taking out his phone, Chen Mo edited a few messages, sending them to his mother and Mu Mu.

Then he turned off his phone, taking advantage of everyone being merrily busy in the yard, sneaking into Xiao Huang car without them noticing.

“Since you don’t know where to go, let’s open a blind box.”

Activating the car’s map input keyboard, Chen Mo closed his eyes and randomly tapped a few times, when he opened his eyes, the words weren’t even coherent.

Then clicked [Navigate Here].

The map shifted, showing a location the system deemed fitting.

“This…”

Looking at the entry ending in [Taiwan], Chen Mo considered rerolling, claiming this didn’t count?

But thought if he did, and still didn’t like the next place, what then, wouldn’t it mean always repeating?

“System, if you’re so impressive, can’t you handle the paperwork for me?”

[…]

Moments of silence, the system still gave a reply.

[Paperwork managed through some indescribable means, you may go at any time.]

After all, it’s his place, Chen Mo thought casually, just go.

Activating the auto-driving function, but not the instant movement feature, this time Chen Mo wanted to take it slow and admire along the way.

[Do you still want Xiao Juzi?]

“Who is Xiao Juzi?”

[…]

Chen Mo thought for a moment, oh right! He still had a cat.

“Where is Xiao Juzi?”

[In the arms of a 38-year-old aunt.]

Oh dear!

Chen Mo deliberated, feeling that might be where Xiao Juzi loves most, rather than dragging it along to sleep rough, better to find it a warm home, especially one so warm…

“Forget it, I’ll go alone, I’m naturally suited to be on my own.”

Xiao Huang car quietly started and moved forward.

In the painting on the side, under the sunset’s afterglow, the cat face gradually disappeared.
