Shishi is an obedient baby. She quickly got up, touched the snake's head, and then went out.
"So you're in this room. What's inside?"
"It's nothing, just the logistics department storing wood. Tenth Brother, would you like to take a walk around the camp?" The patriarch chuckled, changing the subject.
"No, I just wanted to play with my little sister."
"Brother Ten Eggs, take this! Hah, hah!"
"Oh dear, Lady Shishi, have mercy! I dare not do it again!" Brother Shidan got into character in a second.
"Dare not what?"
What are you afraid of?
What is he afraid of?
"Oh dear, I didn't bring any sweet water this time. I won't do it again. I'll definitely bring you sweet water next time, please spare my life."
Shishi was dumbfounded. Could sweet water really be made like this?
It seems pretty good.
"Tell me, how many bottles did you give to Shishi?"
Brother Ten Eggs held up three fingers. "Miss Shishi, are you satisfied with this number?"
"Hmm, very satisfied. Anyway, I can't give Shishi less than three bottles."
? ? ?
Three boxes turned into three bottles?
My younger sister is quite easy to please.
Seeing that Brother Jiudan was following suit and had tricked them out of three more bottles, the two brothers realized that their precious baby could only count to three.
For other numbers, and those that are multiples of three, she can calculate many three-bottle combinations. For numbers that are not multiples of three, she can calculate how many more than three. She decides how many more.
It's... a lot of fun.
When your family comes to visit, a big meal is a must.
Upon learning that the two children had not made any preparations for their wedding and had not gone through any formalities, in order to show their respect for Zhou Shi and their satisfaction with Xie Lin as their son-in-law, the Zhou family decided to hold a banquet with thirty tables in the dining hall.
Grandpa Xiao waved his hand and added twenty more tables.
Since Shishi has two maternal families, she naturally has to share the profits equally, with the majority going to the Zhou family; he doesn't want to steal the limelight.
Fifty tables, that's quite a grand affair.
The feast was held only in the barracks, for the soldiers and their families. There was no extravagance outside, so there was no need to worry about being criticized.
The time was set for dinner three days from now, so there was plenty of time to prepare.
"Hey, I just heard some big news in the cafeteria. It turns out Zhou Shi has a powerful background. She's not from the countryside; she's from Shanghai, a true city dweller."
“I heard that too. Her background is terrifying. Her grandfather was a hero of the War of Resistance against Japan, and her grandmother was a female general. Both of them were at the commander level. And her maternal uncle was also a general.”
"And her father, he works in the same system as Professor Shen, he's from Shanghai."
The person who said that gave a thumbs up.
She was from Shanghai and had heard of the Zhou family, but she never imagined that such a talented woman was hidden in their compound.
"My God, they're all big shots. Zhou Shi will be able to walk around with his head held high from now on!"
"That's right, you don't know Old Master Xiao, do you? I arrived early and met him. He's the former commander of the Beijing Military Region."
"Look, that's the old comrade chatting and laughing with Zhou Shi. You can tell how much he cherishes Zhou Shi by how happy he is."
"How can I not cherish her? I heard that the Xiao family hasn't had a daughter for generations, and Commander Xiao is desperate for a granddaughter."
"Zhou Shi is so lucky. The entire Xiao family probably dotes on her like her own life."
"Tch, no matter how lucky she is, she's still a fool. No matter how good her family is or how good her possessions are, she can't enjoy them."
"Hey, you're not stupid, are you? I haven't seen you enjoy anything."
"Yeah, are you out of your mind? What business is it of yours what the three of us are talking about? Why did you have to chime in? Go away, go away."
"This road isn't yours, does that mean I can't walk this way?"
"Am I wrong? Zhou Shi is an idiot. Do you think that just because she was born into a family of heroes and researchers, she'll know how to fight and how to do research?"
"Oh, so sour grapes here. What does it matter to you whether someone else does it or not? Maybe they were born with it."
"Tch, do you think it's as simple as eating and taking a bath?"
"You're just being sarcastic and won't admit it. Not only might someone be born with the skill, but they might also have a mentor. You know Professor Tang who just came back, right? He's Zhou Shi's mentor."
"With family inheritance and a mentor to guide him, Zhou Shi is truly skilled at research. You didn't know that when the freshwater well couldn't be used for a few days, the method for making freshwater that was issued from above was devised by Zhou Shi."
"What do you call this? This is called 'like begets like.' Your family is neither a dragon nor a phoenix, so all you'll ever do is whine."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you believe I'll tear you apart?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all, hehehe, if you're so capable, come on then."
"You, you... I'm magnanimous, I won't hold it against you, hmph."
"I think you're not magnanimous, you're just greedy and want to be a great philanthropist."
Hahahaha.
The large family taking a walk in the sunset was unaware that they had become the center of attention.
Amidst the roar of the waves and the sounds of children playing, the family chatted and laughed, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
"Queen, you're too strong! You've scattered the ball again."
"Ugh, it fell apart again? That was a terrible shot."
"Your Majesty, this is a grass ball, not a glass ball."
"Hehe, Shishi, use less force next time, you stinky egg, come here."
The head of the household, who was busy making balls, threw two grass balls over.
"There are only two left. If you kick one, you'll have none left."
Okay~
The walk between the two families ended with Shishi kicking away the last ball.
The patriarch wiped the sweat from the face and neck of the runaway child, then voluntarily carried the person who jumped onto his back, supporting the child's buttocks with one hand and protecting the waist with the other.
The long, trailing shadows behind them created a harmonious and heartwarming scene.
The bride's family members looked at each other, their faces beaming with relief.
Small details reveal a person's character; this son-in-law/grandson-in-law is truly excellent.
