Chapter 219 Extra 3: Inexplicably Cute

The three of them parked the mule cart halfway and went into the pastry shop together.

Shi Luo went around and bought ten kinds of cakes and pastries including peanut crisps, date paste cakes, mung bean cakes, etc. He also bought ten kinds of preserved fruits including candied dates and dried plums.

Jiang Hao put the things into the backpack on the mule cart, helped Shi Luo onto it, and whispered, "Let's not buy food. We have plenty at home, and you and I are not short of food either. We also don't need to buy cooked food. It's too hot out here, and the noodles won't last. You have plenty too, so there's really no need to store them."

If you think about it carefully, Shi Luo's space has everything, and this trip out is actually just a cover.

Shi Luo looked at the child in his arms and said, "We need to go to the grocery store and the clothing store. We don't have many water bags, oil paper, hemp ropes, fire sticks, and the shoes we are wearing now. We need to buy some."

Jiang Hao lowered the curtain of the carriage door. "There's a grocery store and a clothing store in the front, but it's a little narrow over there. You two wait here. I'll go take a look and buy everything you need."

After a while, Jiang Hao came back with three full bamboo baskets on his shoulder straps.

Jiang Hao put the bamboo basket away, got on the mule cart and started heading home.

When they got home, Shi Luo quickly held the child and fed him.

After Shi Luo finished feeding, Jiang Hao took out a nutrient solution for physical enhancement from his space and fed the child one-third of the bottle with a dropper. After seeing his son finish drinking it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think Dabao seems to be quite well behaved. He looks much cuter than Huhu when he was a child."

Shi Luo: "Don't be so joking, pack up your things quickly, take out all the clothes and stuff, pack them separately for the three of us, take out three sets of spring and summer clothes each, take out one set of winter clothes and pack them together into a bag, and put the rest into the space,

The same goes for other things. Just keep one or two things you can use, and put the rest into storage."

Jiang Hao saw Shi Luo holding a rope and trying to tie the child to his back, so he quickly stopped him and said, "You can tie Dabao to my back. You need to go to the kitchen and cellar to clean up later. It's really inconvenient to go there with a child."

Shi Luo did not refuse, but tied the child to Jiang Hao's back. Seeing the child blinking and staring at him, Shi Luo felt soft-hearted and poked a hole in his son's face with his finger.

Although the pit healed in an instant, Shi Luo still felt a little guilty. He quickly retracted his finger and trotted towards the cellar.

After entering the cellar, he put everything inside into the space.

There were about two hundred kilograms of white flour, three hundred kilograms of black flour (buckwheat flour), five hundred kilograms of brown rice, six hundred kilograms of corn kernels, fifty kilograms each of red beans, mung beans, soybeans, and millet, two jars of pickled duck eggs, a dozen cured chickens, rabbits, and ducks, half a rack of cured spareribs, and a large pile of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and dried vegetables in the Jiang family's cellar.

After closing the cellar door, Luo turned and went back into the kitchen.

He put all the things in the kitchen into the space, lit the stove, made a pot of hot water and boiled eggs. Then he used his consciousness to make dry food in the space with the things he had just put in from the kitchen.

The eggs are cooked and the dry food is ready.

Shi Luo put the 20 kilograms of fried and cooled flour and rice into cloth bags, wrapped the 15 baked pancakes and dried meat with oil paper, and put all these things into the backpack.

Finally, he waited until the pot of water that had just been boiled cooled down, pried it off the stove and put it into the space.

After feeding the mule in the shed, Shi Luo returned to the bedroom and saw the pile of things that Jiang Hao had packed up. He waved his hand and tightened the space.

"I'll load it directly into the mule cart tomorrow. Brother, are you hungry? It's already past seven o'clock."

Jiang Hao gently patted Dabao, who had fallen asleep just after being put on the bed. "I'm fine. Are you hungry? I'll make you whatever you want."

"What are you doing? I've already pried down all the pots in the kitchen. Let's just eat what's ready in the space for the next two meals."

Shi Luo always felt that he could smell a faint stench.

"Did Dabao poop? Did you check his diaper before he went to bed?"

Jiang Hao: "I've cleaned it up, but the smell is a bit strong and it's still not gone away after half a day."

Shi Luo, the new father, was inexplicably worried. "Why is the child's poop so smelly? Could it be that he has a stomach problem? Why don't we take him to see a doctor?"

Jiang Hao: "No, I remember Jiang Dong's poop was really smelly when he was a kid. All kids are like that."

Shi Luo looked at Dabao who was sleeping motionless, stretched out his index finger and placed it under Dabao's nose, feeling it before he felt relieved.

Jiang Hao smiled silently, and looking at the eighteen-year-old Shi Luo in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

Shi Luo: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Hao: "Nothing, I just want to hug you."

Shi Luo buried his head in the crook of Jiang Hao's neck, "Brother, you're still more handsome without white hair."

Jiang Hao chuckled, "Indeed, and I am more capable without the white hair."

Shi Luo patted Jiang Hao and said, "It's broad daylight and the child is still here. Don't make a fuss."

Jiang Hao looked at his son who was sleeping soundly, picked up Shi Luo and ran to the other room. "It's okay, there's a bed here too. Just be quiet and you won't disturb your son."

Jiang Hao was very satisfied with the sudden absurdity.

Shi Luo, with a flushed face, held his son in his arms and watched Jiang Hao standing by with a bottle of milk for his son. He became furious and kicked Jiang Hao with his leg.

Jiang Hao felt a little embarrassed after drinking up his son's milk. He took the child and held him in his arms. He put the pacifier in his son's mouth and babbled, "Ahem, it's okay. Drinking some milk powder is also good. It's nutritionally balanced. Look, it tastes good even without drinking it."

Shi Luo was really hungry, so he ignored Jiang Hao and took out a bowl of rice, a portion of braised pork, a portion of stir-fried beans, and a portion of steamed fish from his space and started eating.

Jiang Hao watched Shi Luo eat, felt his stomach growling, and looked at Shi Luo pitifully.

Shi Luo rolled his eyes and took out two more servings of rice from the space and placed them on the table. "Feed the children first, then you can eat. After eating, take a nap for an hour or so, then it will be time to gather."

After finishing his meal, Shi Luo looked at the child who had fallen asleep again after drinking milk. "He didn't sleep at all during the day. He must be tired. He slept quite soundly."

Jiang Hao finished his meal very quickly and cleaned the table. "Okay, go to bed. You're tired too."

Shi Luo glared at Jiang Hao, then hugged his son and prepared to go to sleep.

After sleeping for less than two hours, Shi Luo started to put things into the carriage in a daze.

A bag of 50 kilograms of rice and flour, two extra-long bone-cutting knives, a bow and dozens of arrows, two quilts, clothes for three people, miscellaneous daily necessities, dry food prepared in advance, five water bags filled with boiled water and two buckets filled with water with lids.
