Without Dongfang Long this winter, Haitang has several children at home. Haitang took her youngest daughter and Dongfang Chen out for a stroll, and the mermaid baby was still being held by Dongfang Chen.

As the baby mermaid looked around, she snuggled into Dongfang Chen's arms, her big, watery eyes gazing at everything around her. "This baby mermaid is so cute, so beautiful..."

"Ah ah..." But before even getting close to the baby mermaid, it bared its teeth and startled the surrounding females. Dongfang Chen immediately used his hands to soothe the baby mermaid.

“He’s still young and easily frightened,” Dongfang Chen said. “Sweetie, Auntie won’t hurt you.” The baby mermaid looked at Dongfang Chen, then at the female, and then nestled in Dongfang Chen’s arms.

Seeing the baby mermaid acting cute, Dongfang Chen felt helpless, but she simply held the child and asked, "Mommy, what are we going to do in the commercial district today?"

“The hotel in the business district is opening, let’s go check it out,” Haitang said. Hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded and blinked at Haitang.

"Then Mom, the food we cook at home is delicious too." Yes, the food at home is delicious too, Haitang nodded upon hearing this.

“Yeah, so what? Eating out has its advantages, and eating at home has its advantages too. Let’s go…” Dongfang Chen nodded when he heard this, and Haitang smiled as she looked into the distance.

The main reason was that she was planning to meet someone. It was winter now and the weather was getting cold. Haitang dressed the little mermaid and Dongfang Meng warmly, with the two little dumplings wrapped in their clothes.

At this moment, Dongfang Chen's clothes were still decent enough that he wouldn't turn into a ball. While holding the mermaid baby, he still walked briskly until they reached the restaurant in the commercial district.

Dongfang Chen sat down and put the baby mermaid down. There was a child seat, which Haitang had made. It would be troublesome to hold the child, so he put her in the child seat.

As the baby mermaid sat down, she looked around. Dongfang Chen took out some water for her to drink, and the baby mermaid immediately started drinking.

"Mommy, I feel so sorry for the baby mermaid. He has to drink water all day long." He can't survive without water, and he always has to carry water with him.

"Yes, no... other creatures are aquatic." The baby mermaid was originally from the water, so it's understandable that it's suffering from severe dehydration now that it's on land.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen glanced at the distance and nodded, noting that many people were eating there.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar beastmen, Haitang couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, what's making you so happy?"

"Because Mom was lamenting that we almost never had such a leisurely time before." In the beginning, everyone who came to Haitang's world had to work very hard to survive.

During the winter, they stay at home with their babies, wearing few clothes and afraid to go out. There are also many females who lose a lot of weight during the winter, and some of their babies will starve to death.

Xiao Qiu's child had starved to death once. In a time when children could easily starve to death, now every child in Daodao can have enough to eat. This is a huge change.

Dongfang Chen nodded and picked up the flower tea beside him to drink. "Hello, what would you like to eat?" Immediately, someone came to take orders, and Haitang looked at the dishes hanging on the table and began to point.

"Okay." To work as a waiter here, you need to be able to read. The females can work here when they are around thirteen years old, and the orcs can work when they are around ten years old. Of course, there are also people to wash the dishes for the females.

People of other races also come here to work, but because there aren't many positions in the commercial district yet, Haitang hasn't started recruiting.

However, Haitang estimated that she would start recruiting next year. There would be more customers and more industries next year, so she would need more employees.

Haitang had mentioned it to other orcs, with the Leopard Tribe being the first to speak up. The Leopard Tribe was planning to bring in humans next year.

The people of the Leopard Tribe are very willing to work in this commercial area. They all start trying to build connections so that they can support themselves and also learn to read and write by working in the Tiger Tribe.

Haitang came out to eat because she actually planned to bring Dongfang Meng out to show everyone. Dongfang Meng's appearance was different from hers. When Haitang looked at Dongfang Meng, she breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did Dongfang Meng not look like her, but she also did not look like Dongfang Long.

Haitang also devised a way to make a different change to the mark on the other person's chest. The mark was changed from a dragon to a snake, and today she deliberately wanted to tell others that Dongfang Meng was a snake baby, not a dragon baby.

After Haitang ordered, Dongfang Chen started picking up food for her. He picked up some fish for her, then took a piece of pig's trotter and a mermaid baby. The mermaid baby hugged it and started crunching away.

In modern times, other one-year-old babies can't even eat meat, let alone pig's trotters. But the mermaid baby is different. With those rows of teeth like a shark, it can bite into pig's trotters and break them with a snap, even shattering the bones in an instant.

Haitang couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at the baby mermaid. Dongfang Chen used a small handkerchief to wipe the baby's face. "You can't do that. You have to take it slowly." The baby mermaid glanced at Dongfang Chen.

When she looked at Dongfang Chen, she nodded and started eating, smiling as she ate. Then she looked up at Dongfang Chen, who sighed and wiped her face.

Dongfang Meng, who was standing to the side, started drinking her soy milk and didn't react to anything. But after a while, she became unhappy and started crying, as if she was jealous because her brother was taking too much care of others.
