Yao Tongjia, who had just sent her father to prison in modern times, was in a plane crash and transmigrated into a period novel. What? Their family of three are all cannon fodder, meant to make way...
When the three of them got into the car, they called two guards over. Xiao Gengwu said his guess: "A person who likes cherry blossom patterns and also likes wasabi must be from R country."
"The bed is so clean and smells nice, I'm guessing it's a woman. Keep an eye out, there are women around, especially the really pretty or really ugly ones!"
Now even Ruan Shengpeng asked, "Why is it either exceptionally beautiful, or Tong exceptionally ugly?"
"Look, the interrogation lasted so long, and the man refused to say anything, taking all the blame upon himself. This woman must be very beautiful."
"She either shows her true face or her ugliest face so that people won't look at her!"
Ruan Shengpeng was truly disappointed that he hadn't let the guy enlist. If he had, he would have had a right-hand man. Now, he wouldn't dare to try and steal him!
The three returned to the yard. Yao Yanxin stayed in the living room with Little Pudding, who was playing with her new toy. She didn't ask where the three had gone, but simply asked, "Have you eaten?"
Ruan Shengpeng quickly explained, "I thought of something and asked the two of them to help me. Later, we went to investigate something and then ate at a state-run restaurant!"
Yao Yanxin nodded: "It's okay, I didn't cook any noodles anyway, so don't worry about wasting them. The water is all boiled, so you guys go take a shower!"
Xiao Gengwu was watching Little Pudding patiently balancing on the beam. It wasn’t easy to get the two little people in balance; it required a lot of patience!
Little Pudding was clearly very patient; she focused intently on fiddling with it, but she couldn't balance it. Seeing this, Ruan Shengpeng glared at Xiao Gengwu again: "Can't you make it simpler?"
Xiao Gengwu's eyes were full of pride: "Dad, you don't understand. The most frustrating thing for a smart person is not being able to solve a problem, but that everything they get is easy!"
Ruan Shengpeng: "..." Are you trying to show off your intelligence?
He was still worried: "She's not even 15 months old yet. What if she thinks too much and doesn't grow tall?"
"No, Dad, I've always been more thoughtful than her since I was little, and I'm not short either!"
Ruan Shengpeng: "..." Why can't you understand your grandfather's feelings?
He stood up: "I'm not going to worry about you guys anymore. I'm going to take a shower. You're so smart, and you haven't been to work lately, so I'll leave things over there to you!"
After saying that, Ruan Shengpeng not only left on his own, but also dragged Yao Yanxin away with him!
Seeing her father's angry expression, Yao Tongjia said, "Daddy loves Little Pudding and wants her to be a happy little princess!"
Xiao Gengwu hugged Yao Tongjia: "Tongtong, you know me. I had memories when I was just a few months old. Back then, I observed everyone, good or bad, and it was so boring!"
"I was thinking how nice it would be if someone could give me one of those toys, and now the toys I'm making for Pudding are all things I've always wanted!"
Xiao Gengwu's words made Yao Tongjia's heart ache: "Then what else do you want to play? Let Xiaobuding play for you, and you can play with her too!"
Xiao Gengwu watched as Little Pudding continued to play intently with his toys: "Our Little Pudding will definitely achieve more than me in the future!"
Yao Tongjia didn't care: "It's okay if she doesn't achieve anything. She'll have enough money to spend in the future. But if she goes to do scientific research with you, who will manage my company?"
Xiao Gengwu put his arm around Yao Tongjia's waist: "How about we have a baby to keep Little Pudding company? I wasn't there for you when you were pregnant, I really want to see what you look like when you're pregnant!"
Thinking back to how she faced everything alone, Yao Tongjia realized that things might have been much better if she had a partner. She nodded and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, let's have one more child and then stop!"
Xiao Gengwu grinned from ear to ear: "Fine, we won't have any more children, regardless of gender! But I still hope to have a boy, so we can have both a son and a daughter!"
The next day, Xiao Gengwu somehow found a set of clothes: a yellowish white shirt, slightly faded black trousers, and a pair of unglued leather shoes.
Yao Tongjia asked with a smile, "Where did you find this outfit? What are you planning to do wearing it?"
"Didn't Dad leave everything to me? I also wanted to clear my head, and besides, I'm the one who started this whole thing. I'm planning to go check the household registrations together. What do you think? Does my uniform look like something a street office worker would wear?"
Yao Tongjia looked at it and said, "It does fit, but your face is too eye-catching, and your temperament doesn't match!"
Xiao Gengwu reads a lot, so he has a very scholarly air about him and looks very elegant, which really doesn't match his clothes!
Xiao Gengwu looked in the mirror: "Tongtong, could you darken my skin tone a bit and draw my eyebrows down here? My whole demeanor will be different!"
Yao Tongjia did as Xiao Gengwu said, and sure enough, the effect was just as Xiao Gengwu had predicted. She seemed to have lost her energy and didn't look as dazzling.
"Your observation skills are impressive! Are you going out now? I'll drive you there!"
Xiao Gengwu was naturally happy to be able to go out with Yao Tongjia, but he asked Yao Tongjia to drop him off when he was some distance away from the street office.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Gengwu deliberately took large strides, completely losing his previous scholarly air. Xiao Gengwu went to the guard's rented place, stopped and knocked on the door!
The guard immediately asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
Xiao Gengwu could only reply in a low voice, "Xiao Gengwu!"
The door opened a crack, and seeing Xiao Gengwu, the two of them were unsure if it was really him. They peered through the crack for a while before letting him in: "Brother Xiao, what happened to you?"
The two guards were actually quite young, so calling him Brother Xiao was perfectly justified. Xiao Gengwu boasted, "How about that? You don't recognize me, do you? My Tongtong did my makeup!"
Guard: "......" We've been completely ripped off! This bastard only wants to show off his wife!
The three of them set off for the neighborhood office, where the director personally came to receive them: "We'd like to select Xiao Xue to accompany you on your investigation, is that alright?"
Xiao Gengwu frowned when he saw that Xiao Xue was actually a girl: "Let's find someone else! Send a man!"
The director was reluctant: "Xiao Xue is very conscientious in her work; she definitely won't hold you back!"
Most importantly, he knew that all three men were from the military region on missions. If his niece was chosen, any one of these three men would be a good fit!
Xiao Gengwu pointed to a person dressed like him in the corner: "That's him, let's go!"
The director was very unwilling, but seeing Xiao Gengwu's unquestionable demeanor, he immediately vented his anger on the man: "Are you dead? Didn't you hear me call you?"
