Let me especially talk about Ji Huan’s chest of drawers here. Well, it’s a cabinet, right? Originally, this place was empty. After Ji Huan cleaned it up, he put his and Hei Dan’s clothes inside. However, they didn’t have many clothes → Even though Hei Dan is a pretty little demon who loves beautiful things, due to the family conditions, he doesn’t have much clothes, except for some pants.
Ji Huan often puts his mobile phone on the cabinet → In order to prevent radiation, although he doesn’t know whether the mobile phones here have radiation or not, in order to prevent Hei Dan from playing with his mobile phone for too long, Ji Huan still habitually puts his mobile phone here.
In addition to the mobile phone, there is also a photo frame of Ah Jin here. In the box of things that Ah Jin asked him to bring back before, there was a photo on the fighting platform, along with an oil painting above the cabinet ← It was a gift from Ah Jin, other than that, there are mainly pictures of Hei Dan.
Hei Dan is a little baby who loves to take selfies. He took a lot of photos, and Ji Huan helped him print them out. He didn’t have paper that is especially used to print photos, so he used ordinary white paper.
Every day, Hei Dan looked at his own pictures on the wall in his bedroom, as well as his uncle surrounded by himself in the photo (←There is a photo of Ji Huan and Hei Dan in the middle). Looking at the pictures, Hei Dan always feels that his mood is very beautiful and joyful, ah~
And Ji Huan looked at the ghost-like Hei Dan all over the wall: “…”
He became even more calm.
Because the previous photo of Ah Jin was very blurry, Hei Dan didn’t take it to heart, but now the little demon on the missing person notice posted by Ji Huan looked so clear that even Hei Dan has to admit:
That little demon— clean, very beautiful, ah !
=-=
Hei Dan always learns the word “beautiful” very quickly…
Then, Ji Huan saw Hei Dan with a face full of dirt.
The pigtails were loose, and one of the hair ropes was missing. The remaining hair was tightly tied with the last one, and Hei Dan’s white-ringed eyes have long since turned into two poached eggs.
Ji Huan was startled: “What’s wrong with Hei Dan? How did his hair get all messed up!”
The most beautiful person in their family is Hei Dan, who loves beauty even more than his mother, Xiao Hei. Of course, Xiao Hei was a tomboy with no sense of beauty, so Hei Dan must look like his father—
Cough! This is not the point. The point is that Hei Dan loves beauty, so he pays great attention to his appearance. Without a mirror, he uses the selfie mode of his uncle’s cell phone as a mirror. Every morning before going out, Hei Dan looks at his phone to make sure his pigtails are neat and his clothes are clean.
Unlike other babies who are afraid of cutting their nails. If Hei Dan’s nails grow long, he will take the initiative to pull his uncle or grandpa’s clothes and ask them to cut his nails. He will also actively ask his uncle to clean his teeth and he cherishes his clothes very much. If the clothes are accidentally torn, he will ask his uncle to mend them instead of Grandpa, because uncle is better at needlework than Grandpa…
Grandpa, who had raised a granddaughter before without any feeling of raising a granddaughter at all, seems to have experienced the joy of raising a daughter in his great-grandson￣▽￣
Cough! ! ! This is not the point either. The point is that Hei Dan loves beauty very much, so his pigtails are always neat. Without his uncle’s phone, he will stretch out his little paws to touch his head from time to time, and he will also use his Grandpa to straighten his pigtails. Once it is crooked, he will ask his Grandpa to tie them again.
Such a fastidious Hei Dan now came back home with dishevelled hair.
It’s really embarrassing….
Alright, Ji Huan doesn’t want to use the adjective “dishevelled hair”, but the way Hei Dan looks right now…
Ji Huan calmly touched Hei Dan’s little head, then turned to look at Grandpa and Naji: “What happened today?”
Hei Dan is smart, but his mouth is clumsy. He still can’t speak a sentence, so he has to rely on his grandpa to explain the situation.
“We encountered a robbery today!” Sure enough, Ji Huan knew something bad really happened as soon as Grandpa opened his mouth.
“What really happened?” Grandpa, Naji, and Hei Dan are all here. Ji Huan has checked Hei Dan just now and saw that he was fine, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
Grandpa slowly explained what happened today——
It turns out that their business has been going very well these days. After all, they have a stall ← Although there are other stalls there, their stall has a variety of products. After vegetables and pumpkins were unsold for a few days at the beginning, the demons who first bought them came back to buy them again, and other demons found that the demons who ate the pumpkin not only did not die, but also bounced around to continue buying (=-=), indicating that pumpkins were probably a good thing.
With exclusive products such as vegetables and pumpkins, rare and plump prey hunted by Naji, and although eggs are not available every day, Naji and Grandpa’s business is going very well these days.
Hei Dan also worked hard every day to help Grandpa and Naji collect money. He hid in the dark compartment and counted the money every day. After counting, he would hold the fence and look out.
Grandpa had specially made a breathable fence for him in the compartment. Although it looked a bit like a cage, Hei Dan knew that it was a cage to protect him. His uncle laid thick cushions for him in the compartment, including the four walls. There was a frog and a book accompanying him inside. This is simply a luxurious office for Hei Dan!
Grandpa said: Working in an office is always a good job. Hei Dan, like his uncle, sits in the office~
Hei Dan just giggled.
The children of a poor family are already in charge.
The little demon from a poor family can already come out to work.
For human infants of the same age, focusing on one task is simply an impossible task, but for Hei Dan, it is a piece of cake.
Especially when he found out that Grandpa and Naji often miscalculated those ‘glitter things’, he would sigh and resign himself to counting those ‘glitter things’ again. Whenever this happened, Grandpa would laugh and say to Naji: “I’ve never been good at maths, but both Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei are very good at it! Xiao Hua has been helping me with accounts since he was five years old! My great-grandson Hei Dan has started counting even earlier~”
This old man is quite proud of himself.
Naji seemed envious: “I, I also want a great-grandson like… Hei….Hei Dan….”
Grandpa said: “Then you need to pick up a grandson first.”
Human readers with a hole in their brain: “…”
Hei Dan counts the money very clearly. When the customers pay the money or want to take back the change, they only need to put their hands into the dark compartment.
Occasionally, even if there is a customer who asks for change that is not ten or a multiple of ten, as long as Grandpa and Naji repeat loudly the amount of money needed outside, Hei Dan will quickly count the correct number of glitter coins and then lift his little paws.
However, Naji and Grandpa didn’t just keep Hei Dan in the dark compartment. From time to time, they would take Hei Dan out for a walk and buy him a little something. But Hei Dan was still worried about the family business. So after a while, he would actively ask to go back to the dark compartment.
What a dedicated cashier!
After all, only Naji and Grandpa know that there is a cashier named Hei Dan sitting in the dark compartment. As for the demons outside, they don’t know that there is a little demon hiding in the dark compartment. Every time Naji and Grandpa receive money, they will put it into that compartment. Over time, all the demons with bad intentions knew where they put the money.
And then today, there was finally a demon ready to take the risk and rob them.
When Naji went to the bathroom, Grandpa was the only demon left on the stall. Grandpa secretly opened a small crack in the compartment so that Hei Dan could see his Grandpa’s face when he raised his head from inside. From time to time, Grandpa turned around and smiled at Hei Dan, while greeting the customers.
At that time, there were many people near the stall, and Grandpa was a bit busy. At this moment, a sturdy demon wearing a black cloak suddenly pushed aside others and forced himself into the stall.
However, Grandpa didn’t pay much attention to this: he had long been accustomed to the demons here being queued up according to their strength, and there were often people who jumped in line.
Then, when he was about to habitually ask the other party what he wanted, the demon suddenly reached into the secret compartment.
Everything happened so fast, in less than a second, the man grabbed something from the secret compartment, turned around and disappeared.
“Hei Dan!!!!!!” Grandpa yelled Hei Dan’s name and ignored the stall, immediately chasing after him.
But the opponent ran too fast, and there were many demons around him. When Naji finally chased after him, he saw the lamb-horned demon dragging his tail, spinning around like a headless fly.
It was Naji who cleared the way with his fist, and the surrounding people pointed in the direction where the demon disappeared. They searched all the way and finally saw Hei Dan thrown by the roadside.
The other party probably grabbed all the bags from the dark compartment, including Hei Dan. While fleeing and checking the stolen goods on the way, he must’ve discovered the little demon and casually threw him on the roadside as something worthless.
The big bag containing the frog doll that Ji Huan sewed for Hei Dan was taken away by the other party.
“Guagua!” Pointing in one direction, Hei Dan crisply called out the name of his frog doll.
“Hei Dan! ! ! ! ! !” The lamb-horned demon turned his great-grandson upside down, inspecting him from the outside to the inside, even the little Hei Dan down there wasn’t spared from the inspection. Only then did he confirm that his great-grandson was not injured and hugged him tightly.
While the two demons were hugging each other, Naji went to look in the direction where Hei Dan pointed. However, he did not find anyone there. Hei Dan’s frog doll must have been taken away by that person.
“Gua… Guagua… gone.” Naji grabbed his fluffy hair uneasily.
Finally, Hei Dan stretched out his little paw and touched Naji’s hair to comfort him.
“Glitter things!” After comforting Naji, Hei Dan patted his small chest again.
Only then did everyone realise that Hei Dan’s little shoulders were full of money bags, each one tied tightly, and not a single bone coin was exposed. Hei Dan was very meticulous in his work— just like his uncle !
This is the money they made today. Hei Dan hung them all on his body. The unlucky demon who came to rob them actually threw away the money bag along with Hei Dan, only taking away the frog doll.
This… I really don’t know what to think.
When Naji and his party returned to the stall, all the goods on it were indeed looted, but the stall was not taken away. The cushions in the dark compartment were also gone, but Hei Dan’s book was still there.
In short, Hei Dan was not lost or injured, so they are not considered to have suffered any losses.
As for Hei Dan’s miserable appearance right now——
“Hei Dan refused to let me tidy up his appearance. It’s probably because he wanted you to see the damage he suffered and then comfort him.” Scratching his head, the lamb-horned demon glanced at Hei Dan, who was still crying. He didn’t cry in the afternoon, but he started crying as soon as he saw Xiao Hua. This——
It has to be said that Grandpa has a very thorough understanding of his children’s psychology.
Ji Huan “deeply” comforted Hei Dan, washed his face, tied his pigtails, and took a new photo of him. He then printed it out and hung it next to Ah Jin’s portrait. Only then Hei Dan felt satisfied.
After comforting Hei Dan, Ji Huan went to repair the stall with Grandpa and Naji. Although the stall was not taken away, the demons were too rude when taking things, and the stall was still a bit damaged.
In order not to delay tomorrow’s business, Ji Huan needs to repair the stall. Hei Dan’s “luxurious office” — the dark compartment also needs to be reinforced, and new cushions needs to be laid inside.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Ji Huan almost fell asleep as soon as he lay on the pillow.
Just a few minutes after Ji Huan fell asleep, Hei Dan, who had been asleep before, suddenly woke up.
In the darkness, the little demon opened a pair of white-ringed eyes that shone with a faint white light.
“Guagua.” He whispered and sat up.
