Chapter 1417: Tea

Uncle Qiu revealed an intriguing smile, “No, the young lady won’t let herself suffer any losses.”

It’s something she could do.

“The master was worried sick.

I took people to search for her.

When we found her, we didn’t dare get close for a long time.

I’m not sure how the young lady did it, but she seemed to have found nearly half the mountain’s wild boars and beat them up so badly that they were all lying on the ground.

Only one leader managed to stand on four legs, but the young lady was riding on its back, insisting the boar call her ‘boss’.”

“Haha…”

“Afterwards, the animals in the mountain quieted down.

Ever since, whenever the young lady goes up the mountain, they all avoid her and disappear from sight.”

Bo Yanching’s lips curled slightly, as if he could picture the scene.

She’s a playful one at home.

“Mr.

Bo, please watch your step.”

Uncle Qiu gestured, and Nan Jiaojiao stepped over two stones, “I’m fine, take your time, no rush.”

Uncle Qiu carried a teapot and tea set, with some soft pastries beside it, holding them steadily.

Despite his age, his hands never shook.

Bo Yanching shifted the fishing rod and bucket to one hand and reached out to Uncle Qiu, “Let me hold it.”

Uncle Qiu politely replied, “No need, I’m used to holding it.

Mr.

Bo isn’t familiar with the path, so please watch your step and don’t fall.”

Bo Yanching said, “It’s okay, please give it to me, I’ll carry it.”

Uncle Qiu paused for a moment, still smiling slightly, and did not refuse anymore, handing the tray to Bo Yanching with both hands.

He went to bring tea to Elder Nan and happened to meet Bo Yanching.

Seeing his attire, Uncle Qiu didn’t comment.

Bo Yanching had actively asked Uncle Qiu to take him to the fishpond, and Uncle Qiu naturally agreed, even having the servants bring an extra teacup.

The young lady found this man, who respects the elderly, dotes on the young lady, and is kind to the servants, never being condescending or bossy.

Although these can be acted out for impression points, the inherent upbringing and instinctive reactions cannot be faked.

In short, the Nan family is very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Elder Nan had long accepted him in his heart.

As long as Bo Yanching treats Nan Jiaojiao well, it is enough to win over the old man’s heart.

Yet he is willing to spend time here to entertain Elder Nan, which is truly commendable.

The mountain path isn’t too rugged, and since it’s frequently traveled by Elder Nan, it’s been specifically revamped, making the walk relatively smooth.

To make fishing easier for Elder Nan, several fishing platforms were specially built.

Elder Nan was seated at the highest spot.

When Bo Yanching approached quietly to set down the tray, he didn’t make a sound.

Yet Elder Nan heard him, turned his head slightly to glance, and said indifferently, “You’re here, huh?”

Bo Yanching sat down beside him, “Have you had breakfast yet?”

“I ate early.”

Bo Yanching continued, “I can play chess, but I’m not good at fishing.

I’d like to learn from you.”

Elder Nan scoffed, “You know nothing, just good at making this old man happy.

Why are you so confident I’ll bother with you?”

Bo Yanching smiled, “Isn’t it because I’m not confident, so I’m here seeking your advice?”

Elder Nan’s face didn’t show it, but he instructed Uncle Qiu to teach Bo Yanching how to prepare bait.

Bo Yanching learned earnestly.

He actually knew how to fish.

Before Nan Jiaojiao, he often took Bo Qingshan out wild fishing.

Though not an expert, his skills were more than adequate for the fishpond.

However, when it comes to pleasing someone, one must please them well.

Nan Jiaojiao woke up and habitually reached for her phone, first turning off the alarm.

She saw the message from Bo Yanching.

“Don’t stay in bed, get up, freshen up, have breakfast early, then go to work.”
