Ali sighed as he looked at the countless ceramic bowls smashed to pieces on the ground. Luckily, he had made all of these bowls himself; otherwise, no matter how many there were, they wouldn't be enough to waste.
Since the birth of the two tiger cubs, their already impoverished family has been made even worse off. Everything in the house has fallen into the clutches of the two little ones and become their toys.
Ahua was so annoyed by the two little brats that she didn't want to stay at home for long anymore. Every day, she would make an excuse to go to her friend's house to make clothes and leave the two little brats to Ali to take care of.
Thanks to the milk powder supplements provided by Xia Qingqing, the two tiger cubs not only grew a size larger than the other cubs, but were also exceptionally energetic, seemingly unaware of what fatigue was.
This period also happened to be the time when the ice and snow were melting, and Ali was worried about taking them out to play, fearing that the two little ones might be swept away by the flood if they were not careful.
But clearly, the small cave couldn't contain the curiosity of the two tiger cubs at all, and Ali was thoroughly exhausted by them.
Just as Ali finished cleaning up the debris on the ground, a round little tiger hugged his leg.
"Aww~ Aww," Daddy, I'm hungry, I want milk.
"Just wait, Dad will make it for you right away," Ali sighed, resignedly took out milk powder and warm water from the system warehouse, and then found a ceramic bowl.
Ali placed the prepared milk powder on the stone table: "Here, the temperature is just right, you can drink it now."
The little tiger cub, Abao, cheered and buried his head in the bowl, diligently drinking his milk powder.
"Awoo~", Dad is biased, why does he make milk powder for my brother but not for me?
Abe, who had run over after smelling the aroma, angrily rolled twice on the ground, kicking her limbs wildly in the air, her big round eyes staring unblinkingly at Ali, as if to say, "If you don't make me milk powder, I'll cry!"
"I'll count to three, and if you don't get up, I'll..." Before Ali could finish speaking, the little tiger cub Abe immediately got up from the ground.
"Ouch~ Ouch~", I'm getting up, Daddy, please don't spank me.
Abe rubbed her head against Ali's leg and said, "Dad, I want to drink milk powder too. Can you make me a bowl?"
“Next time you want a drink, just tell your dad directly. Don’t try to make a scene with tears and tantrums,” Ali scolded his son with a stern face.
Abe nodded her little head vigorously to show that she understood.
Then she stared curiously at the milk powder can that her father had conjured up on the table, her big eyes filled with envy.
My father is really amazing! He can conjure up so many delicious things. I wonder when he will be willing to teach him this skill.
After the two tiger cubs finished eating, they happily ran off to play with their little balls.
Ali looked at the half-empty can of milk powder and sighed silently. The two little rascals ate way too much. The three boxes of milk powder that Xia Qingqing gave them were finished in less than two months, and that was when they were given it as a supplement.
It's not hunting season yet, and Ali is too embarrassed to ask Xia Qingqing for milk powder empty-handed, but Abao and Abei really like drinking it.
After thinking for a moment, Ali could only go to the wizard to borrow some herbs. He remembered that Xia Qingqing also liked these things, and thought she would probably be willing to exchange them for some milk powder.
Xia Qingqing quickly accepted the video call invitation sent by Ali.
Xia Qingqing smiled slightly when she saw Ali on the system panel: "Ali, how are the two little darlings doing lately?"
"They're pretty good, but they're incredibly naughty. If I don't beat them up every day, they'll tear the house apart," Ali said, his tone seemingly laced with resentment.
"Haha, all kids are like that, they'll grow out of it," Xia Qingqing said, suppressing her schadenfreude as she tried to comfort Ali.
"You must have something to ask me, right? Is there something you need?" Xia Qingqing asked, seeing the hesitation on Ali's face.
While she, Gu Yunshu, and Zhou Wei would video chat when they had free time, she and Ali only contacted each other when there was something to discuss.
"Well, the milk powder you gave me last time is finished. I'd like to trade some herbs for some more, is that okay?" Ali pointed to the pile of herbs he had placed on the table.
Looking at the pile of ginseng, gastrodia elata, and lingzhi mushrooms, Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Of course, but the milk powder might not be available until tomorrow."
"It's okay, I can give it to you tomorrow," Ali said with a satisfied smile.
"Okay, the two little ones drink formula pretty fast. I'll give you a few more boxes this time," Xia Qingqing said. She knew that Ahua had breast milk, but she didn't expect the two little tiger cubs to eat so much.
Ali looked at the two little ones playing with a ball not far away and said, "Those two probably ate a lot; they eat six meals a day."
Xia Qingqing's heart was melting from the cuteness of the two chubby little creatures. Was there any way she could pet the little tigers?
If the system could transmit live creatures, Xia Qingqing would really like Ali to send the tiger cub to her; she wouldn't mind taking care of the baby for Ali for a couple of days.
Abao noticed that its father was looking at it, but strangely, its father seemed to be talking to himself. It tilted its head in confusion.
"Aww~ Aww," little brother, do you know why Dad is talking to himself? Is he bored? If he's so bored, why doesn't he like to play with us?
Abe proudly raised his head: I know! I heard my mother say that my father is the only person in the tribe who can communicate with the goddess. He must be talking to the goddess.
Abao was stunned: What is a goddess? And why do you know so much? Aren't we always together?
"Ouch~", you were asleep at that time, so you didn't hear it.
Xia Qingqing looked at the two adorable little tiger cubs on the system panel, her hands itching to touch them. Seeing them but not being able to touch them was torture for her.
Looking at Ali, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'll give you the milk powder tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll send the herbs to you," Ali said, sending all the herbs on the table to Xia Qingqing.
After receiving the herbs, Xia Qingqing picked out some of the less conspicuous ones and planned to send them to Zhou Wei.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Wei added a few more ginseng roots that were a hundred years old. The younger ones could be sold or given away, while Zhou Wei could keep the hundred-year-old ones for herself.
Of course, it is generally not recommended for normal people to eat century-old ginseng, as it is very likely that they will accidentally overdo it.
After sending the medicinal herbs to Zhou Wei, Xia Qingqing sent her another message.
Xia Qingqing: [Weiwei, buy me another 10 boxes of milk powder. Those medicinal herbs are your reward.]
The other side replied shortly after.
Zhou Wei: [?]
Zhou Wei: [Qingqing, are all those medicinal herbs for me???]
Zhou Wei: [Do I only need to buy 10 boxes of milk powder this time? Should I buy anything else?]
