The leaders were relieved and began to make arrangements for making money.
Old Master Xiao, being a wise and experienced man, finally understood the reason behind his son's deep-sea fishing stunt.
I just don't know how he discovered the wrecked ship at the bottom of the sea.
Now that you've discovered it, why not just send someone to deal with it instead of doing all this unnecessary work?
However, the father was shrewd, but the son was even more shrewd, and with one sentence, he left his father speechless.
"What do you care how I found out? If I don't go to great lengths to bring all of you over to fill the numbers, how am I supposed to apply for more funding to research Shishi's big baby project?"
"You don't care about me, and you ignore Shishi's efforts? Anyway, I need money, lots and lots of small amounts of money, and you have to help me, hmph."
Alright, let's bring out their precious darlings. By directly tearing off the tiger skins of the three leaders, plus Zhou Lie's bedmate, there are a total of four heavyweight figures, whose voices have indeed become much stronger.
Later, when a large amount of funds were allocated, the division commander grinned from ear to ear and shamelessly praised his brilliant move.
Shishi didn't wake up until the boat docked, so Xie Lin carried her straight home.
Ugly felt uneasy. He lost interest in the loudspeaker and didn't dance when he came back. He wouldn't play with his friends when they came to visit. Instead, he sat quietly on the threshold of the main room, staring intently at the bedroom door.
He didn't go to the Xiao family's house for dinner; Zhang Tong had to bring it over and coax him to eat.
Hearing that the child had been frightened on the boat, the two elderly women and their maid came several times but couldn't find him and were very worried.
Xie Lin only came out of the room alone when the hazy moonlight began to fall.
"Xiao Xie, where's Shishi?"
Several elders had been waiting in the courtyard, and as soon as they saw him, they swarmed around him.
"Grandma, Second Grandma, Mom, Mother, Shishi just woke up and is fine now. She wants to drink some sweet water, so I came out to get it for her."
"Would you like some soup? I made some calming soup, a recipe from Master Tao," Zhang Tong quickly offered.
"Thank you, Mom. Please bring it over. I can't leave Shishi for too long right now."
"Okay, go get the sweet water, I'll go back and get it right away."
Zhang Tong left after finishing speaking.
The other three watched as Xie Lin took a bottle of soda from the west room and went into the east room, where they could hear hushed conversations.
"Shishi, the sweet water is here. Let's drink a bottle first, and then have some soup. Mom made you some delicious soup."
"Stinky egg, hug me."
"Okay, stinky egg, I'll hold you while you drink."
The three exchanged a glance, feeling reassured.
It's good that she knows how to act cute.
Zhang Tong brought over some calming soup. "Xiao Xie, I've put the soup on the table in the main room. Give it to Shishi later, but don't let it get too cold."
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
Zhang Tong was about to bring Chou Chou home, but the men were all studying some kind of map, and Xie Lin didn't pay any attention to him.
“Chou Chou, you heard the sound. Shi Shi is okay. Come home with Auntie and stay at Auntie’s tonight.”
Chou Chou was very well-behaved. Once she was sure everyone was alright, she left without staying behind to cause trouble for her brother.
He used to be scared of the silly corpse and would only pet its fur, not really know how to comfort it. Now that someone can comfort it, he is very content.
As long as she's happy.
The room was pitch black. Shishi leaned lazily against the patriarch's shoulder, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.
"Stinky Egg, will you always protect Corpse?"
"Yes, I will. Chou Dan will always protect Shi Shi."
Xie Lin pressed his lips against the top of her head, his tone firm.
No matter where you come from, no matter what kind of person you were before, here, you are Shishi, my Shishi.
"You have to keep your word, you stinky egg. Shishi is very smart, you can't lie to Shishi."
"I won't lie to Shishi. I will never lie to Shishi. Shishi just needs to be happy and doesn't need to worry about anything else, okay?"
"Okay, Shishi believes in Chou Dan."
"Stinky Egg, another bottle of sweet water, please."
Xie Lin: ......
? ? ?
Something's off about that tone.
He hadn't even finished expressing his determination, so why did the atmosphere change all of a sudden?
Not quite sure.
Let's do it again.
"I won't lie to Shishi, and Shishi shouldn't think about anything else. Just do whatever makes you happy. Whatever you want to do, I'll help you, okay?"
"Okay, Shishi wants to drink sweet water, Stinky Egg, quickly give Shishi sweet water."
Patriarch: ...Has she lost her memory? She's forgotten the panic she was in just now?
"Shishi, does your head hurt?"
The patriarch boldly tested the waters.
"It doesn't hurt. There's something extra in my brain, but it doesn't hurt."
"What's extra?"
Is it a memory?
If it's a painful memory, he'd rather the little girl never remember it for the rest of her life.
"That stinky egg climbed in through the window with his butt sticking out to steal Shishi's stock."
Strange, this image wasn't in her mind before.
Has she become smarter again?
? ? ?
The patriarch looked strange.
He was putting the little girl to sleep just now, and it seems he dreamed about this scene.
That place was strange; the buildings were very tall, yet it was eerily quiet, and there was no sign of human life for miles around.
There was only one person in the dream, and that person was also climbing out of the window, and it felt like he was the one climbing out of the window.
The image was only for a fleeting moment and quickly disappeared. The subsequent dream did not connect with this image, which was strange.
But wasn't that his dream? How would that brat know?
"When did I steal your stock? Shishi, I really didn't steal it."
The person in my dream couldn't be him; he's never been to a place like that, okay?
"But that thief looks exactly like Stinky Egg. Same eyes, same nose, same mouth, and the same clothes too."
