Chapter 12: My daughter is one year old, Dragon Elephant King Kong

After work, Lao Chen held Xixi in his arms and braved the wind and snow to go home with Li Che and Zhang Ya.

In order to protect Xixi from being attacked by the wind and snow, Lao Chen even used his internal energy to melt the cold for the little girl so that not a single snowfall would fall on her.

After returning to the simple mud house, Zhang Ya and Li Che got busy. Since they had invited Old Chen back to guard the place, they naturally had to treat him well.

We prepared good wine and delicious food and had a sumptuous dinner together.

"Xiao Ya's cooking skills are pretty good. Okay, okay. From now on, I, Old Chen, will come to eat with you. It will be a treat."

Old Chen was eating and drinking, squinting his eyes, looking very happy.

Xixi sat on the wooden baby chair that Li Che made for her, waving her hands, as if she also wanted to sip Lao Chen's gourd wine.

Li Che drank a few cups with Lao Chen and then stopped drinking.

After all, tonight we have to worry about the followers of the Lingying Sect doing something desperate, so we have to stay alert.

After dinner, Lao Chen played with Xixi, while Li Che sat on a chair, under the light of an oil lamp, and as usual, took out the wood he brought back from the woodcarving shop, practiced carving, and tried to make mechanisms.

Perhaps because they had become closer, Old Chen said during a drink that he would not accept money from Li Che for the copy of "Tang Family Organization Records" that he had lent to Li Che.

After Li Che became a formal woodcarver, he was not short of the fifty cents, but this was Lao Chen's attitude after all, so Li Che naturally toasted him to express his gratitude.

The sleeve crossbow was completed, but Li Che did not stop. He planned to make two more pairs, one to be hidden in the sleeve of his other arm, and the other to be prepared for his wife Zhang Ya, just in case.

As expected, after the sleeve crossbow was made once, the maturity of the Dao Fruit had been extracted and it could no longer be increased. If one wanted the Dao Fruit to mature further, one could only make other mechanisms.

The wind and snow were strong and were howling outside the house.

The wick of the oil lamp in the house flickered and flickered, and shadows of people were looming.

Second half of the night.

Old Chen, who was protecting Xixi while she was sleeping, suddenly narrowed his eyes, walked out of the house quietly, and jumped onto the roof in one step.

The powerful blood and energy roared in the wind and snow like an angry dragon.

Several approaching black shadows sensed Lao Chen's aura and turned around and flew away without any hesitation.

Old Chen's face was gloomy. These followers of the Lingying Sect were really crazy. They dared to commit crimes in the middle of the night.

"One to open the tendons, four to smooth the skin, this lineup... If Old Chen and I weren't here tonight, I'm afraid that A Che wouldn't be able to protect Xixi..."

Old Chen uncorked the gourd and took a sip of wine.

The fierce look in his eyes was extremely intense.

Lingying Religion...

It really made Feilei City a mess.

Back in the house, Lao Chen nodded to Li Che, and then returned to the sleeping Xixi.

Li Che clenched the carving knife in his hand, and the blue veins bulged like a dragon. After a long time, he slowly exhaled, calmed down and continued carving.

Li Che remembered the kindness shown by Old Chen today.

…

…

The next day, the weather cleared up and there was no more snow and wind.

Zhang Ya got up early and started packing her things in preparation for moving.

Although her husband did not say anything to her, she was a thoughtful woman and when she saw that Master Chen was invited to their home, she realized that there was a danger threatening her small family.

Therefore, there was no sadness about moving, only the desire to move into the yard of the wood carving shop as soon as possible.

There weren't many things in the mud house, just some daily necessities piled up. They called a donkey cart and headed towards Xu's Woodcarving Shop.

When the neighbors saw this scene, they all popped their heads out and looked at it in surprise and envy.

"They've moved... This family is going to be very successful and move out of this small corner of our city."

"I heard that Brother Che went from being a porter at Xu's Woodcarving Shop to a formal woodcarving master... He will make a lot of money in the future!"

"I know Brother Che can accomplish something as soon as I see him! Look, he's become a woodcarver. I heard that a woodcarver can sell a piece for ten taels of silver!"

"It's different now. We are not from the same world anymore."

…

The neighbors murmured with envy and jealousy, watching the donkey cart crush the snow on the ground and disappear around the corner of the alley.

After arriving at the wood carving shop, I went straight into the shop.

Li Che did not see the third shopkeeper, but saw an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes and who looked like a butler, with a bunch of keys in his hand.

"Master Li, the shopkeeper asked me to wait for you and accompany you to choose the yard."

The housekeeper smiled and then looked at Chen Dabao who was holding Xixi beside him.

"Hey, Master Chen is here too?"

Lao Chen smiled and said, "Lao Sun, take Ah Che directly to the second-hand yard opposite my house. We will be neighbors from now on!"

The housekeeper, called Lao Sun, grinned and said, "That's great, come over here."

The group entered the shop compound and walked through the narrow alleys between high walls. They soon arrived at the residential area and saw courtyards lined up on both sides of the alley.

Xuji Woodcarving Shop is very big and covers a huge area!

After all, Xu Ji is rich and powerful, and he has practiced martial arts and mastered internal strength. He has been developing in Feilei City for more than two hundred years and has a profound foundation.

He was a bigger landlord than any other big landlord, so naturally he had also plundered a lot of land.

The housekeeper, Old Sun, unlocked the door with his key and pushed it open. The snow piled on the roof was shaken off, revealing a courtyard covered with thick snow but extremely spacious.

"Master Li, take a look. If you are not satisfied, you can look at other courtyards."

Butler Old Sun looked at Li Che with a gentle and respectful attitude.

To be able to become a formal woodcarving master from a porter, one must have a very high talent for woodcarving. To be able to become the housekeeper of Xu's Woodcarving Shop, he must have the necessary vision and would not do stupid things that may easily offend others.

Li Che led Zhang Ya into the yard. After taking a closer look, his tense mood finally relaxed.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, very good."

Zhang Ya also looked at the spacious and luxurious courtyard in confusion and disbelief. It was much better than the small mud house she lived in before! "In two days, invite uncle and his family to come over for a housewarming dinner. We can finally settle down."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After looking at the house, Zhang Ya snuggled in Li Che's arms, with a gleam in her eyes.

Her husband promised her a wonderful life, and now...it has finally come true.

Things are slowly getting better!

"You two should clean up the yard and move properly. Old man Xixi will be taken home to play. When you are done, come over for dinner. I will ask someone to order a table at Chunfeng Tower. It is in the yard opposite your house."

Chen Dabao held Xixi in his arms, yelled a few words, and then went back to his own yard.

When they were close, you could even hear the giggles of Xixi and Chen Dabao when they were playing.

Li Che smiled knowingly: "I didn't expect that Lao Chen and Xixi get along so well..."

"Master Chen is such a nice guy. With Xixi staying with him, we can clean up the mess with peace of mind..." Zhang Ya pursed her lips and smiled.

The couple looked at each other and began to clean the yard enthusiastically.

…

…

Time is passing by and seasons are changing.

Time is like wood chips flying under a carving knife, scattered all over the ground without you noticing.

Xixi is one year old.

In the yard.

As soon as the autumn chill went away, the white snow of midwinter was already floating in the air, piling up in the yard like white cotton.

Li Che and Lao Chen sat around the stove, on which was simmering old yellow wine. On the table were sliced ​​braised beef and pig ears mixed with coriander and minced garlic, which tasted delicious.

In the yard, one-year-old Xixi was running around happily in the wooden walker made for her by Li Che, chasing the snow falling from the sky.

Old Chen looked at Xixi lovingly, his eyes never moving away: "Hey, little stinky Xixi, it's snowing outside, it's cold, come back to the house and play."

"Uncle Chen, it's okay. Let her have her fun. She'll be tired after playing for a while, so you can coax her to sleep at night. Otherwise, she'll have too much energy and nowhere to vent. Her eyes will be as big as bells in the middle of the night."

In the kitchen, Zhang Ya brought out a plate of hot fried edamame and said with a smile.

"Hey, Xixi is one year old, and your family didn't even think about having a banquet? I, an old man, want Xixi to receive gifts in style... I've called on all the old men around, and you guys have to prepare as many tables as you can!"

Old Chen grabbed a handful of edamame and ate them while laughing.

Li Che didn't want to hold a birthday party. Although the Lingying Sect had been quiet for nearly a year since they moved to the shop, Li Che still remained vigilant deep down.

And the closer Xixi got to her first birthday, the more vigilant Li Che became.

After all... Lei Chunlan specifically targeted one-year-old babies! However, after the couple discussed it, they finally decided to hold a one-year-old birthday party, mainly because the yard was spacious enough and it was naturally safe to hold it at home.

After warming up the yellow rice wine, I poured a glass for Lao Chen.

Li Che also poured himself a glass and took a sip. The aroma of the wine went down his throat, driving away the winter chill.

Suddenly, Li Che's heart trembled slightly.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of my eyes.

On the vast land, there is a towering precious tree with lush branches and leaves. On it, a colorful fruit slowly grows. The fruit is shining, as if reflecting the many growth scenes of Xixi in the past year.

Li Che's eyes suddenly lit up.

The long-awaited expectation finally blooms at this moment.

Xixi is one year old, and has obtained her second Dao Fruit...

Here it comes.

…

[Your daughter is one year old and is safe and sound. You have obtained a Dao Fruit "Dragon Elephant Vajra"]
