"Wait a moment." Jiang Chi glanced at the lock screen, took the phone back to look at it, paused for a moment, and then handed the phone back out.

Chaochao wasn't the last to finish his call. Leo, who was forced to stay after school, shouted "Mom, I love you" into the phone and quickly ended his mother's reluctant farewell, shoving the phone into PD's hand.

Teng Yi: ...You little brat!

Chaochao blinked curiously. So this is how it is to get along with Mom?

The parenting system is now online: "Not necessarily. Every family has its own way of getting along; there's no template."

"Is that so?" Chaochao seemed to understand but not quite.

Tonight is their last night on their trip across the Inner Mongolian grasslands. The bonfire party, filled with warmth and enthusiasm, is both a welcome celebration and a farewell. Five minutes after leaving, the little girl was still standing in the same spot, her Mongolian robe pockets overflowing with the doting affection of the local uncles and aunts.

Five minutes later, Chaochao, her body bulging, was finally led by Jiang Chi onto the road back home.

Walking on the grassland, Chaochao's little heart was still pounding with excitement. Although her bulky figure limited her movement, it didn't stop her from chattering away:

"When we get back, I'll let Daddy and Brother Jingcheng try some too. It's really delicious, I'm not lying! But Daddy probably won't let me eat too many pieces a day... How about I eat one, two, or three more pieces now? No, no, I'd better send them away as soon as possible!"

Otherwise, she really won't be able to hold back! This is an incredibly cruel test for a baby!

"One bag to Yu Ci's house, one bag to Jing Cheng's house, and one bag to the hospital where Yu Shen is staying. It's been two or three days, the snacks must be almost gone..." The little dumpling meticulously counted on her fingers, planning the ownership of the snacks. Immersed in her own world, Chao Chao didn't notice that Jiang Chi tightened his grip on her hand slightly.

Exhausted from using her hands, feet, and mouth, Chaochao stopped to catch her breath and unexpectedly bumped into Jiang Chi, who had a slightly furrowed brow and a hesitant expression.

"What's wrong with my brother?"

The little dumpling tilted her head, puzzled, but then a possibility flashed through her mind. She quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, of course you'll get a share too! How could Chaochao forget you!"

She thought Jiang Chi was upset because he hadn't mentioned sending her food.

But unexpectedly, after saying comforting words, Jiang Chi seemed to pause for a second. He unplugged the microphone, glanced at the cameraman filming behind him, and helped her pick up the nut and yogurt chunks that had accidentally fallen: "It's not about that..."

"It's because Pei Yushen can't have the surgery for the time being."

Jiang Chi stared at the little dumpling's slightly stunned eyes.

"So he might not still be in the hospital."
