What finally made Wang Ping decide to stay at home instead of going to the tea mountain was not the King of Pesticides but the laptop in Gu Lang's study.
According to Gu Laosan, he has never been short of computers, game consoles, and other things since he was born. As long as the latest model is released on the market, he can get it immediately. Sometimes, he even hasn't opened the old one before a new one is delivered.
This situation continued until he became an adult and had his own bank card, so the various gifts every year turned into piles of numbers in the card.
Most of his childhood impressions of his parents came from these cold machines. This also led to the fact that even if his parents wanted to get close to him, he would not be used to it. Gu's mother often complained that her son had grown up and didn't like to be close to her. Gu Lang sometimes felt guilty, but Wang Ping felt that it was not his fault.
The laptop in the study is the latest model of Apple, but judging by the dust on it, it seems that someone hasn't touched it for a long time.
Wang Ping pondered, if it was true as Gu Laosan said, that he had other laptops that were not being used, then could he get one for himself
Everyone has privacy, and badgers certainly have it too.
Although Wang Ping can play with Gu Laosan's tablet, mobile phone, etc. whenever he wants, I guess someone wouldn't be too surprised even if he plays with a laptop.
But Wang Ping absolutely didn't want anyone to know what he did on the computer, especially his browsing history, which was something he had to keep secret even when he was a human being.
Being able to type and search on the web is completely different from holding the mouse and clicking around. The latter can be regarded as animal curiosity, or cleverness, whatever. But the former is absolutely evil behavior, the kind that would be a disservice to the country if it is not sliced.
Therefore, if you want to surf the Internet in a real sense, the safest way is to have a dedicated computer.
This time, Wang Ping decided to do it without telling Gu Laosan.
At dinner time, Grandma Sheng kept scolding Dahei at the table. The reason was that on the way back from patrolling the mountain, he secretly licked the lollipop from a village kid, and the kid's parents came to Grandma Sheng with their crying naughty kid to complain.
Grandma Sheng's use of the word "again" is very spiritual. Wang Ping squatted on a chair next to the dining table in the yard, thinking that this silly dog looked silly, but actually had a bad personality. He was holding a rib bigger than his head, gnawing on it until his face was covered with oil.
Since the badger is a pet, it is strictly forbidden to eat at the table. If the badger dares to put his feet on the table, Grandma Sheng will use a rolling pin to teach him who is the master of the house.
Of course, Wang Ping didn't want to sit at the table. He wasn't a dish, so why would he sit there? Was it a picnic
The hurtful part was that Grandma Sheng hadn't even prepared a chair for the badger.
Baring his teeth at Grandma Chong Sheng? Wang Ping didn’t dare to do that yet.
In the end, it was Gu Laosan who smiled and added a chair next to the dining table, thus resolving the awkward situation where a badger almost had dinner with Dahei.
Dahei stood beside the chair with his tongue sticking out, his eyes fixed on the bone in a badger's hand, wagging his tail non-stop, and ignored Grandma Sheng's teachings.
Wang Ping didn’t believe that this guy didn’t understand.
When this guy is at home during the day, as long as Grandma Sheng calls out "Dahei", no matter how soft the voice is, he will immediately jump up from the mat in the living room, wag his tail and come over to act cute.
And now, no one knows how many times Grandma Sheng has said "Dahei", but a certain dog is still staring at the bone under Wang Ping's mouth, pretending he can't hear anything. His eyes occasionally stole a glance at Grandma Sheng, then quickly looked away.
If the dog didn't know who Grandma Sheng was scolding, Wang Ping would write his name Wang upside down.
This is probably a daily routine at Grandma Sheng's house. The dog who thinks he has pretended to be very convincing, and the old man who obviously noticed it but pretended not to know, seem to be performing a routine and heartwarming performance.
Tsk, this stupid dog has a pretty good life!
Wang Ping curled his lips, raised his greasy paws, and deliberately threw the bone he had just chewed away.
"Woof!"
Dahei barked and immediately rushed in the direction where the bone flew. Before the bone hit the ground, he jumped up beautifully and bit it in his mouth, then ran back happily wagging his tail.
"Ah~" Grandma Sheng looked at the badger that was teasing her dog with disdain, then turned to Gu Lang and said, "Why is Huanhuan such a bad character?"
Wang Ping, who was about to clap his paws to applaud Dahei's agility, paused and lowered his head sadly.
Huanhuan! What a melancholy name!
"Puff..." Gu Laosan, who was putting rice into his mouth, almost spit out the rice after hearing what his grandma said. He glanced at Wang Ping who was sitting helplessly on the chair opposite him.
After finally suppressing his laughter, Gu Lang began to tell Grandma Sheng the story of Wang Ping. Of course, it was another "legendary" version that a certain anchor had speculated and imagined.
"Oh, you mean it escaped from the circus? And it kidnapped... No, it rescued a leopard?"
Grandma Sheng looked at Gu Lang in surprise. At the same time, she picked up a piece of pork ribs from the plate on the table, stuffed it into Wang Ping's paw, and pinched his furry little face.
Wang Ping: ... Never mind. For the sake of the platoon... For the sake of Gu Lao San, I will endure it!
Wow... these ribs are so delicious!
Dahei looked up at the delicious ribs in Wang Ping's paw, then looked at the bones in front of him that were covered with some badger's saliva, and there was some confusion on the dog's face.
Maybe he doesn't understand why this guy always has new food to eat while he can only eat what it leaves.
But the dog's ideas come quickly and go away even faster.
He chewed the bones on the ground, crushed them and swallowed them, then stared at the ribs in Wang Ping's hand and wagged his tail.
Grandma Sheng's attitude towards Wang Ping completely changed after Gu Lang mentioned that he had a high fever on the grassland.
He didn't say anything when he came home before, one reason being that there were some things he didn't want to say in front of his parents. Not only did he make them worry for no reason, but Gu Lang was also a little tired of dealing with his parents' overly enthusiastic concern. Especially when Gu's mother would cry and say sorry to him at every turn, Gu Lang would be at a loss, thinking that he had done something wrong again.
Moreover, Gu Lang still hadn't figured out what happened at many points in time during that experience. The most important thing was how he ran from the Maasai Grasslands to the Ngorongoro Crater. It was such a long distance, and it was okay for a person to go there, but the most exaggerated thing was that even a car followed him there, and it was driven there.
Someone tried not to doubt the foodie sitting opposite him, and just kept the matter to himself. But he could pick out other details and tell his grandma about them.
Upon hearing that her grandson had a fever and was unconscious in that ghost place on the grassland, and that it was suspected that the little thing in front of her who was gnawing on the ribs was fed water and food by someone, and finally came back to life, Grandma Sheng felt distressed and scolded Gu Lang severely, and then smiled at Wang Ping.
"Well, I thought it was a little ugly at first, but now look at this little guy, he's quite cute with his round head!" Raising her hand and touching Wang Ping's little head, Grandma Sheng picked up a bigger piece of pork ribs from the plate and stuffed it into Wang Ping's arms without saying a word. Then she took the bone he had just chewed half of and threw it to Dahei who was looking forward to it.
A badger who successfully upgraded from a "little thing" to a "little guy" felt a chill.
As expected of a strong woman well-known in the village, her attitude changes were smooth and natural, without any sense of incongruity.
