Chapter 40 Fat Ginseng Soaked in Wine? ? ?
“I’ve been calling you Dad for so long, what’s wrong with you calling me Grandma a few times?”
Xi Xi sighed deeply, then raised her chin haughtily: "You men are just so petty and hesitant, not generous at all."
Pei Yiyan's heart skipped a beat, unable to believe what he was hearing: "Are you trying to manipulate me?"
“Please speak Mandarin.” Xi Xi straightened her back. “Little monsters don’t understand foreign languages.”
The tuition for the bilingual kindergarten was well spent; they can now recognize foreign languages.
Pei Yiyan grabbed her by the back of her collar and brought his face close to hers: "Tell me honestly, do you want to be Xixi's grandma forever?"
They say it'll only last three days, but who knows what they're really up to?
Xixi's eyes are bright and sparkling; she doesn't even need to act.
The honest little chick pecks at the rice: "Mmm-hmm!"
She even dares to make a sound? That's outrageous!
Pei Yiyan's smile vanished, his face turning terribly sour: "Let me tell you, don't even think about it. How can a father and daughter each talk their own thing? Is that even reasonable?"
He didn't just find himself a daughter; he clearly found himself an ancestor.
"You're being mean to me again. It seems you're not sincerely apologizing, Dad." Xi Xi clenched her little fists, raising her head like a little rooster, ready to peck him at any moment.
Pei Yiyan choked for a moment.
"I didn't." His arrogance subsided, and to ease the awkwardness, he loosened his collar and explained with a blank face, "I just have a loud voice, that's all."
Having lived under the same roof and been together day and night for so long, who wouldn't know who the other is?
Xi Xi pressed her hands on the top of her head and glared at him: "Then you should lower your voice, or you'll scare my little whiskers, and they won't grow if they're scared."
In my heart, it's like the gentle dad experience card has expired, and the irritable dad is back, leaving me wanting more.
Pei Yiyan nodded haphazardly.
Then, getting back to the point: "If I call you Grandma, then Chen Yihuan's mother, your own grandmother, would have to call you Mom? The generations would all be messed up, and people would laugh at them if they found out."
In any case, this terrible idea of hers must be nipped in the bud.
Xi Xi seemed to be thinking: "That makes some sense."
Pei Yiyan was pleased.
"Dad, if you call me Grandma, I promise I won't let anyone hear." The chubby little boy patted his shoulder. "Call me whatever you want, don't worry."
"Is that what you mean?"
You're welcome, Dad.
Orange the kitten was born weak. Its hind limbs were paralyzed due to congenital neuritis, causing muscle atrophy and making it impossible for it to walk. This disease has an extremely low cure rate.
This is the result of Pei Yiyan's online consultation.
Today is the third day since I adopted Orange. Three days ago, the kitten could only crawl on its front paws, but now it can take two shaky steps. It's simply a medical miracle.
Pei Yiyan rested his long arm on the table, his fingers idly fiddling with the cap of his lighter, his thoughts drifting away.
This truly proves the saying that the end of science is metaphysics. If this gets out, it will definitely shock a lot of people.
"Dad! Orange has pooped, come quick!"
A loud, energetic call pulled him back to reality. Pei Yiyan sighed, grabbed a wet wipe from the table, and strode off.
Orange is a five-month-old kitten. Due to illness and poor appetite, she is skin and bones and looks only three or four months old. She is almost weightless when you hold her.
It walks unsteadily, and when it goes to the toilet, it easily gets its bottom all dirty. If it's not cleaned up in time, it will get all over the place.
Pei Yiyan has been cleaning up the dirty cat these past few days, so he should be quite skilled by now.
In reality, he was not very familiar with the work. No matter how many times he did it each day, Pei Yiyan always exuded a faint sense of fearlessness, and he always insisted on wearing a mask, gloves, and protective clothing.
His resolute gaze and stern expression made it seem as if he were performing a world-class major surgery.
Whenever this happens, Pei Yiyan would secretly rejoice at his child's worry-free self-care ability, so that he didn't have to personally take care of his excrement and urine.
He doesn't look down on Xi Xi now, but there's no doubt that he would have chosen to run away with the locomotive the day Xi Xi came to him.
Pei Yiyan pinched the wet wipe and gently swirled it around to clean away the dirt little by little, then dried the lint with a clean cloth.
"Dad, are you done?"
Pei Yiyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at the child hiding on the sofa, his voice numb: "Come and see if you want to know."
"Ugh, it smells terrible. I'll wait a bit before going over there."
"I remember a little girl who confidently promised that she could take good care of the kitten."
As a result, the kitten ran faster than a rabbit when it pooped.
Xi Xi seemed to understand Pei Yiyan's teasing. She slapped her forehead and followed his words, saying, "Dad, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
The chubby boy turned around and squatted in front of the TV cabinet, flipping things over with a clattering sound.
Pei Yiyan felt a pang of fear upon hearing the commotion, which sounded like the house being torn apart.
"Found it."
The little girl held a sticker in her hand, waved it happily, and smacked it onto her forehead, sticking a little red flower on it.
"I'll give the little one a flower as a reward." Xixi said happily, "Thank you for taking care of the kitten."
Pei Yiyan: "You're quite impolite."
He casually put the orange back in the cat's bed, listened to it meow normally twice, and then squatted down by the litter box with peace of mind. Holding his breath, he scooped the smelly cat litter into a plastic bag, intending to take it downstairs and throw it away later.
"Dad works hard too."
A small slap landed unexpectedly on Pei Yiyan's forehead, with just the right amount of force, leaving him stunned but not mentally injured.
A small red apple sticker was firmly stuck to his forehead, unusually bright and eye-catching.
Pei Yiyan clutched his forehead, wincing in pain; the little girl had quite a bit of strength.
He looked Xixi up and down: "You've gained weight."
At this point, Xixi had developed a bit of an idol complex and was very concerned about her image.
She looked down at her chubby little body, the chubby dimples on the back of her hands leaving marks with every poke, a stark contrast to the skinny little bean sprout she had been six months ago.
Xi Xi opened her mouth in confusion. When did she gain weight? She clearly ate very little, only occasionally eating fried chicken, drinking some yogurt, and having a few late-night snacks.
The little girl couldn't accept the fact that she had gained weight, refused to admit it, and even turned the tables on the girl:
"No, it's clearly Dad who's gained weight."
Pei Yiyan took off his protective suit, mask, and gloves, glanced at them meaningfully, and smiled: "Even if I get fat, I won't have a belly."
These words struck a chord with Xixi. She puffed out her cheeks and sucked in her tummy hard.
"Xixi doesn't have any either, look if you don't believe me."
She straightened her back and held her breath until her face turned red.
"You're not that big of a person, but you've got a lot on your plate." Pei Yiyan pinched her cheek, his narrow eyes slightly upturned. "You want to dry yourself into a ginseng root so I can make wine from you?"
He licked his lips like a pervert: "Fat ginseng soaked in wine should smell very good."
The superb acting successfully fooled Xixi. The chubby ginseng baby was terrified. She protected her whiskers like an eagle protecting its chicks and took a big step back.
"No, no, I can't make it taste good when I use it to make wine! It's such a waste."
"Oh, then how do you define not wasting?"
Xi Xi stammered, then stomped her little foot and said in a forceful tone, "Don't pry into Grandma's affairs."
Pei Yiyan: That foul mouth of his.
As Xixi accumulated merit and her cultivation and magical power increased, the ginseng fragrance on her body became stronger and stronger, so fragrant that sometimes she even wanted to take a bite of herself.
Recently, her father has been grinding his teeth in his sleep, and she's really afraid that he'll sneak a bite of her ginseng roots while she's asleep.
After all, she used to use her father's tree branch as a teething toy.
