Novel Bin Chapter 66
Chapter 66: World Peace
In the morning, Ling Pingan stood on the balcony and stretched comfortably.
“Time to get to work!” He encouraged himself. “Today, I must decide on the theme of the new book and work out the details for the first three chapters!”
“You can do this,, Ling Pingan!”
“Go for it! You got this!”
But…
When he returned to the house, he sighed again.
“Chicken soup for the soul is really useless after all…” he felt like his whole body was going to wither.
For some reason, he just wanted to fish today.
“HMM…”
He seemed to have remembered something.
“I wonder how the Peach Tree I planted yesterday is doing…”
“I’ll go and take a look…”
As he spoke, he climbed up to the third floor and pushed the door open.
At this time, it was about seven in the morning.
The warm sunlight fell on the roof of the shack.
A plastic basin was placed at the foot of the wall. Ling Pingan walked forward and took a closer look. He immediately smiled.
Bits of green emerged from the soil.
There was still a little dew on the two small tender leaves.
“Sure enough!” Ling Pingan said happily, “I told you, I’d definitely get it done!”
And so he moved the plastic basin into the house happily.
He did not want the young sapling that had just sprouted to be hurt by the sun when it got too hot.
As he walked down the stairs, Ling Pingan suddenly thought of something. “By the way… Why did the peach pit sprout so quickly?”
“Could it be… a problem with the variety?”
“It must be!” He muttered to himself.
At this moment, his phone rang.
“That’s no big deal!”
He took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it. The caller’s name was displayed on the screen: Aunty.
Ling Pingan immediately felt as if he was facing a great enemy.
After hesitating for a while, he picked up the call.
“Hello…”
“Aunty… How are you doing in Northern Zhou?”
“Everything is going well?!” He couldn’t help but frown.
“What?” He looked around, flustered. “You might be back soon? Are you still coming to Jiangcheng City?”
“Aunty… Really… Everything is fine here…”
“Bookstore? The bookstore is doing very well!”
“Really!”
“I even used the money I earned during this period to buy you a small gift yesterday!”
“I’m not lying to you!”
Without blushing or beating a heart, he tricked that great-aunt.
Ling Pingan hung up the phone and sighed. “Great-aunt! My Great-aunt, please don’t come!”
That great-aunt was a person with a very bad character!
Every time she came, she would stay in the shop on top of urging him to go on blind dates.
She would either play games or watch anime, or lie on the sofa and watch TV.
The most annoying thing was that she was too lazy to be surprised.
If she could lie down in Ling Pingan’s place, she would definitely not be sitting.
But she still asked for more.
She did not eat takeout, but she was not willing to cook either.
She insisted on Ling Pingan cooking for her.
She even said that she wanted Pingan to work on his housekeeping skills.
Anyway, if this great-aunt came over, and Ling Ping An’s fishing time would be reduced by more than half.
He would also have to wash dishes and pots..
It was very troublesome!
However, Ling Pingan couldn’t do anything to her.
After all, she was his aunt and his only relative.
And she was his guardian!
…
In Xin’an Prefecture, Northern Zhou, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs Building.
The beautiful woman holding the umbrella put down the phone in her hand and said, “This brat, when I go back, I have to stay with him for half a month!”
Coincidentally, the mission was extremely smooth.
The headquarters sent a Commendation Order, and everyone was given a month’s vacation.
Thinking about the food cooked by her nephew, she could not help but drool.
“Speaking of, this is the season for crayfish right here in the local market!” She thought. “Pingan cooks crayfish really well!”
“No, no…” She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth. “I can’t think about it anymore, it’s making me drool again!”
Coincidentally, a Taoist nun’s figure quietly appeared in the corridor ahead.
“Weiwei!” She smiled as brightly as a peony flower in spring. “Come quickly, come quickly…”
She waved her hand and called the young girl to her side.
“Captain…” the timid Daoist nun looked somewhat haggard, as if she had not rested well. However, in front of the beauty, she still bowed very politely.
“Weiwei, what’s wrong?” She asked the young Daoist nun. “Why do you look so stricken?”
The Taoist nun looked at the beauty and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, “Captain, have you heard of an outsider called Alucard?”
The beauty’s expression changed slightly, and the umbrella in her hand blossomed with a magnificent color.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” She looked at the Taoist nun. “Did you hear something?”
She told the Taoist nun seriously, “You must remember the rules and regulations of our Blackguard!”
“Don’t contact and ask questions that are not within your authority!”
“It’s not good for you!”
There were too many unknown and dangerous things in this world.
If one was not powerful enough, he or she would not have a good ending if he or she came into contact with them in advance!
This was the experience that countless people had paid with their blood!
…
After a simple wash, Ling Pingan walked down the stairs as usual and opened the shop door.
Meow!
The kitten stood up from the towel and followed its master closely.
Ling Pingan walked to the breakfast shop next door and ordered two baskets of steamed dumplings and a bowl of tofu pudding as usual.
Then, he found that Aunt Cai seemed to be in a bad mood today.
“What’s wrong?” He scanned the code for payment, asking after his neighbor in concern. “Aunt Cai, did something happen to you today?”
“You’re damn right it did!” Like all middle-aged women, Aunt Cai could not hide her troubles. When she heard Ling Pingan ask, she opened her mouth and said, “yesterday, I received a call saying that some financial group wanted to invest in me…”
“They promised three million yuan as soon as they started talking…”
“In the end, they went back on their word this morning!”
“These untrustworthy guys…”
As Ling Pingan listened, he hurriedly took his breakfast and left.
Because he knew that once the middle-aged woman started to prattle, she would not stop, not when there was an audience.
When he returned to the shop, he turned on the television as usual.
Ling Pingan sat at the counter and ate breakfast.
The morning news was still playing on the television.
“This station’s latest news…” the announcer announced cheerfully in a sweet voice, “the hand, foot, and mouth disease that ravaged Northern Zhou for half a month has been effectively controlled with the assistance of the group of experts from the Central Federal Government’s Department of Livestock, as well as experts from various kingdoms!”
“According to credible sources from the Northern Zhou Cabinet’s press release office…”
“The spread of the disease in 12 counties, 54 counties, and more than 300 pastures and farms in Northern Zhou has been effectively controlled!”
“The Prime Minister of Northern Zhou, His Excellency Zhou Qingxuan, told the Council of Ministers of Northern Zhou at 5:30 pm local time in Xin’an Prefecture that the epidemic is expected to end completely within a week or so!”
When Ling Pingan heard this, he could not help but raise his head and take a look at the news footage.
On the screen, the picturesque Northern Zhou Plain appeared.
Helicopters hovered in the sky, spraying disinfectant.
On the ground, disinfectant vehicles were disinfecting along the road.
Armored vehicles with the logo of the Federal Armed Forces were patrolling the vast grasslands.
“That’s great!” Ling Pingan ate the steamed dumplings and mumbled, “I don’t have to worry about the price of beef going up anymore!”
For a mere citizen like him, world peace and peace beneath the sky were the best things he could hope for.
