Chapter 27: Daddy, Your Pants Are Torn
The pictures of fruits in the system mall were not lit up, so she had to rely on herself.
When Xie Chong returned at sunset, he was also surprised to see the cobblestone path.
He thought it looked quite good.
Especially as the grass around the pebble path became thicker.
Qin Wanwan was waiting for him on the threshold, her eyes brightening when she saw her daddy return.
Her eyes were already large, and her eyelashes were like a fanned-out little brush, curled and flicked, making her look very lively when they brightened.
“Daddy.”
Xie Chong watched as the little white dumpling, Little Fatty, ran over holding something.
“Daddy, look, Wanwan found a big goose egg and wants to hatch a little goose.”
Xie Chong bent down and picked her up. The little one sat on his arm, holding the goose egg and bringing it to his face.
“Mm.”
He wouldn’t praise her too much, just reached out and scratched her chubby little chin.
Scratching that little chubby chin was indeed quite addictive.
Qin Wanwan cooperated as well, resting her chin on her daddy’s hand and squinting her eyes like a little kitten.
Xie Chong returned for dinner, and the cook had also prepared enough for two people.
The father and daughter sat facing each other, the goose egg placed in a small basket beside them, and Ke Ke was chased away to nest and hatch the egg again.
“Daddy, I want to eat fish. It has bones, can you pick them out for Wanwan, okay?”
Qin Wanwan held a small spoon, wiggled her toes, and softly acted spoiled.
Xie Chong didn’t say anything, but he picked out a piece of tender white fish meat and put it in her bowl, meticulously removing all the bones before giving it to her.
Qin Wanwan ate with relish and also used her chopsticks to poke a large meatball for him.
She was full after eating a small bowl of rice.
After eating, she stood up and walked around the room to digest her food.
Seeing that Xie Chong had finished eating, she tiptoed over and nestled into his arms.
She was a super clingy cub.
“Daddy, come here.”
She asked Lu He to come in as well.
At this moment, Lu He was holding a soft tape measure, the kind used to take measurements when making clothes.
Xie Chong looked at his cub, wondering what she was up to.
“General, the young lady bought some fabric and said she wants to make clothes for you.”
Xie Chong: I’m a bit moved.
“Did you spend all your money?”
The little one nodded affirmatively.
Xie Chong mused that he should give his cub some pocket money, but not too much, otherwise, the child would spend it recklessly, and his spare change wouldn’t be enough.
The measurements were all done, and the matter of making clothes was handed over to Lu He and Aunt Zhang.
Xie Chong took a bath, then carried a wooden basin and laboriously washed his own clothes.
When Qin Wanwan found him, she saw the torn underpants in his hand.
The little one squatted down next to him: “Daddy, your pants are torn, Ke Ke was right.”
Xie Chong: “…They can still be worn, don’t be wasteful.”
He was being thrifty.
A pair of underpants cost over thirty copper coins, and the old ones were comfortable to wear.
However, the tear was indeed a bit large.
Xie Chong considered finding a scrap of cloth to mend it after it dried.
Anyway, these pants were worn underneath, and no one would know, except for that bird.
“Have Lu He help you bathe, and then get ready for bed.”
“Okay.”
Qin Wanwan obediently went to take a bath. After finishing his laundry, Xie Chong went to find the bird.
Ke Ke was drowsing on the goose egg out of boredom when suddenly a shadow fell over it.
Then its neck was grabbed.
“Squawk! Help…”
Xie Chong pinched its mouth.
Ke Ke: !!!
It hadn’t done anything! Wouldn’t this cub’s father want to kill it and stew it? No!
Xie Chong: “Shut up.”
Under the threat of the Great Qilin, Ke Ke calmed down.
Xie Chong threatened with a cold face: “You are not allowed to talk about my underpants incident from now on.”
Ke Ke: …Seriously? Just for this?
With its neck in the other’s hand, Ke Ke nodded in indignation.
If they don’t say it, they don’t say it. Was it the kind of person who blabbed?
After threatening Ke Ke, Xie Chong finally put it back on the goose egg.
“Continue hatching the egg, and don’t tell Wanwan about this either.”
Ke Ke: “Got it!”
Shameless adult, what kind of ability is it to threaten a bird, pfft, birds look down on you!
It was bedtime. The squeaky clean white soft dumpling skillfully burrowed into her daddy’s embrace.
“Daddy smells good too.”
Then, like a little kitten, she nuzzled around, found a comfortable position, and leaned against her biological father, falling asleep quickly.
The little one had a pleasant smell about her, and Xie Chong, holding her, soon fell asleep as well.
They slept soundly and woke up full of energy the next day.
He paused when he saw the grass in the courtyard.
What kind of grass was this? It grew too fast.
And even the tender shoots had lush green and large leaves.
In just two days, the entire courtyard was covered, turning into a small lawn.
The moment he stepped out of the room, he smelled a fragrance, the unique and rich scent of grass.
The front yard of the General’s Mansion was half an acre, but the grass that had just sprouted for two days gave off a grassy aroma as if one had entered the Great Grassland.
Xie Chong hurried to the military camp, only briefly wondering about the breed of the grass before rushing off.
However, the three servants at home were truly astonished by the surprisingly rapid growth of the grass in the front yard.
Qin Wanwan tidied up early in the morning, holding the big goose egg with one chubby hand.
Although she couldn’t hatch eggs, the spiritual charm of the auspicious beast Qilin could strengthen the life force within the goose egg.
Holding a crispy fried dough stick, she sat by the doorway, looking at the lawn and eating bite by bite.
“Is there any soy milk?”
Aunt Zhang looked bewildered: “Miss, what is this soy milk you’re talking about?”
Qin Wanwan didn’t know how to make soy milk; she had only eaten it before.
So she looked at Ke Ke.
Ke Ke held its head high: “First, soak the beans.”
The three servants at home were already accustomed to Ke Ke. Their General was truly amazing; not only could he fight Tartars, but he could also catch monsters.
That’s right, they thought Ke Ke was a spirit.
Otherwise, what bird could converse so fluently with humans?
It understood more than people.
Aunt Zhang went to soak the beans.
After breakfast, Qin Wanwan went to check on the peach trees she had planted, but they hadn’t sprouted yet.
Today, she planned to till the soil in the backyard.
After breakfast, the three servants got busy again.
It took them the whole day to finish tilling.
Because the backyard was much larger than the front yard, it was a full acre and a half.
Although it was tiring, the food provided by the General’s Mansion was hearty, so they had no problem eating their fill.
Lang Ya, a half-grown young man, ate the most, as he was still growing and exerted the most strength.
“Cub, a large sum of merit points has been earned!”
Qin Wanwan opened the mall and saw that her merit points had increased to five hundred!
She had previously spent some on seeds and unlocking parts of the legacy, leaving her with 220 merit points. Now, an additional 500 had suddenly appeared, bringing her total merit points to 720.
Two icons had also been lit up.
Qin Wanwan poked the newly appeared icon with her little finger.
【 Milky fragrance soybeans, a new breed from a technological dimension, with a yield of about 500 catties per mu. Features: high yield and good taste, not demanding of soil quality. Drawbacks: possess genetic defects and cannot be used for seed saving. The method to supplement the genetic defects of soybeans is the same as for wheat. 】
Ke Ke: “The soy milk you want to drink is made from soybeans.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she bought a portion.
