Chapter 04



Grandma has not forgotten the "original intention" of Zizi buying a mobile phone - it was to call his mother and to have a video call with his mother.

Now that I have a mobile phone, of course the first thing I want to do is video call my mom!

Yu Tangxing and Xixi seldom meet each other. Grandma is a little worried when she thinks about their not-so-close mother-daughter relationship. She has told Tangxing many times that work is important but her daughter is more important and she should take some time to accompany Xixi.

What is the result?

Yu Tangxing nodded and said "OK" every time, and then continued to go home only once every two or three months.

Due to the lack of her mother's company, Yu Xi does not have a deep affection for her "mother" at all. Perhaps Yu Xi has a better relationship with the nanny at home.

Yu Xi usually calls Yu Tangxing.

However, Yu Tangxing would always repeat the reminders: "Listen to your grandparents", "Don't eat snacks", "Don't drink beverages", "Eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more milk", and "Go to bed early".

These nagging instructions made the baby, who loved to eat snacks and drink beverages but didn't like fruits and vegetables, a little unhappy, so he called his mother less often afterwards.

Grandma didn’t know what Zizi was thinking, she only knew that Zizi and Yu Tangxing had a bad relationship.

Last night, I heard Zaizai say that she wanted to buy a mobile phone so that she could video call her mother. I thought that daily video calls might improve the relationship between mother and daughter, so I agreed to buy a mobile phone for Zaizai.

She was looking forward to their relationship improving, so she reminded her son to video call her.

Little did they know that Zaizai had already had a not-so-pleasant voice call with his mother and deleted her from his WeChat contact list.

After dinner, under the expectant and encouraging gaze of his grandmother, Zizi had no choice but to go back to his playroom, thinking with a worried look on his face how to make a video call to his mother.

She walked back to the small table and sat down. When she picked up her phone, she saw a lot of push notifications and her eyes widened.

Soon, she realized: Oh, it’s the news in the penguin group!

Zaizai immediately forgot his grandmother's advice to "remember to video call mom", crossed his chubby legs, sat down, and even propped his chubby arms on the small table, adjusting himself to a comfortable position for playing with the phone.

She clicked into the group chat and saw that many people were chatting in the group. Messages popped up one after another, were pushed to the top of the screen, and then disappeared.

Whether it was the hundreds of years in the eggshell or the four years as a human cub in the human world, the cub was taught to "be polite."

She is a smart and polite child!

Smart and polite children should take the initiative to greet and say hello to others!

So, Zizi raised his chubby fingers and began to type weakly: Hello everyone, I am Zizi! Can I be the Dragon King?

Yu Xi imagined that the brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts in the group would welcome her warmly and friendly. They would probably say: Welcome, baby!

They would say: "Zizi wants to be the Dragon King? Sure!"

Yu Xi was extremely looking forward to it. The moment the message was sent, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide, staring at the phone screen with her sparkling eyes without blinking.

However--

The messages were still coming in, and the polite greeting she sent was pushed to the top of the screen in a short while, then disappeared at the top of the screen, gone!

The little cub's pupils trembled.

Soon, she found an excuse for the brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts in the group: No one must have seen it!

She typed weakly again: Hello everyone, I am Zaizai!

This time, everyone finally saw it.

AAA Crazy Thursday Eat: @仔仔 Welcome Welcome Warmly Welcome

Professional cookie hole punching: @仔仔raises a small flower to welcome you!

Zhang Tang Malaliang: @仔仔 Welcome, welcome~ Joining the group means we are a family

Several group members enthusiastically held a perfunctory welcome ceremony, but Zaizai was unaware of this and naively thought that everyone was really welcoming him happily, and he felt very happy.

She continued to type slowly with her chubby fingers, stroke by stroke: Can I be the Dragon King?

As a four-year-old human cub, he has not yet fully mastered the pinyin of Chinese characters and has not yet recognized all 7,000 commonly used Chinese characters. His handwriting input speed is not as fast as pinyin input. He makes mistakes from time to time and has to stop from time to time to think about how to write a certain character. His typing speed is slower than that of an elderly person.

Two minutes passed and Zaizai finally finished typing.

Zizi: Thank you, brother, sister, uncle, and aunt! I like you too, but I have my own family and cannot be one with you!

When the little finger pressed the "send" button, Zizi felt a little guilty.

Although my brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts are very enthusiastic and say "joining the group means we are a family", I have my own family and cannot be a family with my brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts!

Although mom doesn't allow Zaizai to use a mobile phone and never comes back to accompany Zaizai, Zaizai, mom, grandparents are a family!

There were a lot of messages in the group chat. You said one message and I said another, and soon there were 99+ messages. The group members didn’t care what the netizen named "Zizi" said and were still discussing their topics.

AAA Building Materials Wholesale Sister Wang: [Sharing] KFC and Zhou Hei Ya have reunited! Double 11 12.7 new products!

AAA Crazy Thursday Food Substitute: Wow, the long-awaited KFC x Zhou Hei Ya collaboration is back! Anyone need a foodie? I can eat a lot!

Professional biscuit punch hole: the soul mate of snail rice noodle ~ fried egg!!

Professional biscuit hole punching: snail noodle yyds!!

Zhang Tang Mala Liang: Snail noodles without fried eggs and bean curd sheets are soulless. I seem to have accidentally figured out how to fry eggs to make them taste better.

Professional biscuit hole punching: Upstairs, looking for tutorials!

Although Zaizai types very slowly, even slower than his grandparents who can input pinyin, Zaizai has a good ability to recognize and read characters, and can understand the messages in the group.

At the beginning, Zaizai couldn’t read messages as fast as his group friends sent messages, so he had to hold down the screen to prevent the messages from running up.

After she finished reading, she swiped her finger upwards to push the message up and then read the new message.

After watching it for a while, Zizi was able to read text messages much faster and no longer had to hold down the screen to “pause” the messages.

Zizi understood what everyone was saying.

——Oh! Let’s talk about delicious food and drinks!

——There is a sister teaching everyone how to make sour and spicy snail noodles!

——A sister said that the snail noodles made by the sister above are not authentic, and that people in Liuzhou don’t make snail noodles like this!

——An old man said: "Snail noodles are shit! They stink! Hot and sour noodles are yyds!"

Yu Xi had never eaten snail noodles or hot and sour noodles.

She didn't know the word "snail", so she listened to the voice of a brother in the group and half-guessed and half-guessed, and matched the two unfamiliar Chinese characters with the pronunciation of "snail".

She doesn't know what yyds means.

Zaizai is a good girl who is humble and eager to learn. She asked everyone: Hello everyone, what does yyds mean?

This time, unlike being completely ignored just now, someone replied to Zaizai: @仔仔yyds means "eternal God", which almost means the best.

Yu Xi understood a little, but not quite.

Why did the uncle say "hot and sour noodles are the eternal god"?

Hot and sour noodles are just hot and sour noodles. Hot and sour noodles are food. They can never become a god no matter what!

Uncle is so weird!

Zizi didn't understand what these strange humans were thinking and couldn't help shaking her head, but she was extremely interested and curious about the messages in the group, so she kept staring at the phone screen.

The group she joined was called "City A Food Exchange Group", where many group members were discussing various delicious foods and drinks.

Some people shared that they discovered a magical shop today, some shared dinner recipes, and some discussed how to make various delicacies and how to make them taste better.

Zizi was immediately attracted by the atmosphere of many people gathering in a virtual network to chat and discuss together. She never thought that the human world could be like this!

It’s amazing!

So cool!

In this atmosphere, Zaizai began to join the discussion.

Zizi: I had pumpkin porridge tonight. It was fragrant and sweet! So delicious!

Yu Xi was thinking about what the pumpkin porridge she drank in the evening tasted like. As she was thinking, she typed and slowly sent out a few messages. In the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Yu Xi was still immersed in online chatting and typing.

Suddenly, she heard the nanny calling her, "Xixi, it's time for you to take a shower."

Yu Xi picked up her watch to check the time. Oh, it was already nine o'clock! Time to take a shower and go to bed!

She had no choice but to put down her phone, hold the nanny's hand, and prepare to take a shower.

Coming out of the room, Yu Xi saw her grandparents watching TV in the living room. She called out "Grandpa" and "Grandma" obediently. At this time, she had not yet remembered that she had forgotten what she was supposed to do.

Grandma saw that Zaizai finally came out of the toy room.

Grandma thought: Xixi stayed in there for so long, she must have had a good chat with Tang Xing, right?

She couldn't help but smile and asked in a gentle and kind voice, "Xixi, what did you talk about with Mom? You talked for so long, didn't you enjoy it?"

When Yu Xi heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned.

It’s all over!

She hasn't called her mother or video chatted with her yet!

Zizi felt a little ashamed, but when he saw his grandmother's expectant eyes, he felt embarrassed to say that he had forgotten to video chat with his mother, and even more embarrassed to say that he had deleted his mother.

The two round eyes were a little erratic, which was a sign of guilt.

However, grandma did not notice the baby's actions, and still looked at him with anticipation, joy and relief.

Under such gaze, Zizi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yeah! Yes!"

After saying this, perhaps to increase his confidence, or perhaps out of a desire to deceive himself, Zizi nodded involuntarily, speaking as if it were true.

Yes, there is!

The baby called his mother as soon as he got home!

Hearing Zizi's definite answer, grandma was very happy. Thinking that it was time for Zizi to take a bath and go to bed, she asked, "Xixi, will you sleep with grandma tonight?"

The cub shook his head, blinked his eyes, and then said in a milky voice, "No! I'm grown up now and I need to sleep on my own!"

She said, “I’m not afraid of the dark!”

She is a strong and brave dragon king cub. How could she be afraid of the dark and want to sleep with her grandma?

She doesn't want it!

This was an expected answer. Grandma felt a little disappointed, but not surprised. She just said in a gentle and kind voice, "Okay, then Xixi, take a shower and go to bed quickly."

Yu Xi nodded obediently.

She let go of the nanny's hand, ran back to the room with her short legs, then went to the bathroom with her pajamas and towel to take a shower.

While taking a shower, Yu Xi thought to herself: I will add my mother back and make a video call to her later!

However, after taking a bath and coming out of the bathroom, the healthy and regular schedule made the little cub very sleepy. His eyelids drooped and he looked drowsy.

The cub followed his instincts, took unsteady steps and almost fell, but finally walked back to the bedroom.

Wow, it’s Zaizai’s bed! What a big and soft bed!

Before her brain could react, her body had already climbed onto the bed using her hands and feet and fell headfirst into the pillow. Her eyes closed unconsciously.

The first second after closing his eyes, Zizi felt that there was something very important he had not done yet.

What is it?

I can’t remember it!

The second his eyes closed, Zaizai tried hard to recall, but he just couldn't remember anything. He decided to give up thinking and go to sleep!

The third second after closing his eyes, the baby began to breathe steadily and evenly and fell into a sweet dream.

The next morning, Yu Xi woke up and still couldn't remember what he had forgotten to do last night, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

While eating breakfast, the little guy was seen frowning with a serious expression.

Grandma was puzzled when she saw Zizi like this, so she asked, "Xixi, why are you frowning? Don't you like your breakfast today?"

Yu Xi shook her head and replied in a baby voice, "It's delicious!"

Grandma smiled and asked her, "Why does Xixi look so sad?"

Yu Xi said in distress, "Grandma, I forgot something very important! I can't remember it!"

When grandma heard this, she thought: How could anything important happen to a little kid like you?

She smiled and coaxed her granddaughter: "Oh, is that so? It's okay, you'll remember it when Xixi comes back from kindergarten. Xixi, be good, let's eat breakfast first."

The baby is an obedient and simple baby. Grandma said that she would be able to remember it after returning from kindergarten, and she really believed it;

Grandma told her to eat breakfast first, so she ate breakfast obediently.

After breakfast, Yu Xi was sent to kindergarten by the nanny.

She spent the whole day thinking about that important thing that she had forgotten. What was it?

But she really couldn't remember.

In the evening, grandma came to pick up Zaizai from school.

When Yu Xi saw that it was her grandmother who came to pick her up, she was so happy that she couldn't help but show a chubby and healing smile, and ran towards her grandmother with her short legs.

Grandpa and mom don’t allow the baby to eat snacks or any other kind of food, not even KFC or McDonald’s, let alone snacks like fried skewers, barbecue, and pancakes.

They think these are "junk food" and that eating them is bad for children and will affect their health.

However, grandma would secretly take the baby to eat fried chicken, French fries and hamburgers without taking grandpa and mom, and without telling grandpa and mom!

Grandma only takes Zaizai to eat!

Zizi loves grandma the most!

After Yu Xi and her grandmother finished eating fried chicken and French fries and bought some milk tea, they finally decided to go home.

The distance was not far, so they walked back.

On the way, they passed many shops selling octopus balls, beef tripe and shrimp balls, fried skewers...

The baby smelled the delicious aroma of the food. Although his stomach was full, he couldn't help drooling!

They also pass by imported snack supermarkets and milk tea shops.

The snack supermarket was having a promotion, so grandma took Zaizai in to buy some snacks, and then secretly stuffed them into Zaizai's little schoolbag.

Grandma said: "Xixi, we can't be discovered by grandpa."

After hearing what grandma said, Zaizai suddenly felt that what grandma stuffed into his schoolbag was not snacks and instant noodles, but a heavy responsibility.

She looked serious and nodded solemnly.

She said, "Yeah! I know!"

At that moment, Zizi saw the promotional poster of instant noodles displayed in the snack supermarket. He thought the instant noodles in the picture were very tempting and thought of the pearl milk tea he had just drunk.

Instant noodles, delicious! Pearl milk tea, delicious!

Zizi suddenly had a bold idea.

When she got home, she went back to the toy room as usual, ran to the small table with her short legs, sat down, then picked up her heavy mobile phone and opened the Penguin chat software.

Zaizai confidently types: Pearl milk tea instant noodles, yyds!
