Chapter 240 Do You Have to Go?
When Xiao Jin returned to the palace, Su Ying was playing darts with two children. The target of this dart was different from the usual ones. It was hollow. Every circle of the target was hollow, and a bell was placed at different distances behind it.
The bells at the outermost edge of the target were the closest. Su Ying said that as long as they hit the bells, they would be rewarded with a copper coin, and they could use the copper coin to buy whatever they wanted in the future.
The two little guys found it fun and stopped running around every day. Instead, they went to the target and threw the bells with a small ball whenever they had free time.
"Mother, mother, I hit the second ring. Come on, reward Ling'er two copper coins."
Erbao ran up to Su Ying with his palms facing up, asking for a reward.
Su Ying generously put the copper coin in her hand, "Great, Ling'er can now throw the second ring."
When they first played this game, Su Ying's rules were relatively loose. As long as they hit the bell, they would be rewarded. But now, she requires them to say which bell they want to throw before they throw. If they miss, even if they hit another bell, it will not count.
Dabao now stands behind the drawn line, concentrates and holds his breath before throwing the small ball in his hand out.
"jingle"
The small ball hit the ball within the ten rings accurately. Dabao opened his eyes wide with joy, turned around and ran to Su Ying to ask for praise.
"That's great, Ji'er. You actually hit the ten rings. That's awesome."
Erbao raised his little chin proudly, and his arrogant little look was exactly the same as when Su Ying showed off in front of Xiao Jin.
“It’s not that difficult.”
Erbao groaned in displeasure, "I will definitely try my best to throw it to ten rings!"
"Then you have to work hard." Dabao's tail was about to rise to the sky.
Erbao puffed up his little face, and the next moment he saw Xiao Jin standing at the door. He ran to his father with his short legs to ask for comfort.
"Daddy... Ling'er is also very powerful, right?"
Xiao Jin picked her up and pinched her perky little nose. "Yes, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely become better and better."
"As long as Ling'er works hard, she can be as good as mother and father."
"City Lord, Master, is it time for dinner now?" Mother Zhao's voice sounded outside the palace gate.
"Well, okay." Su Ying put the small ball aside and pulled Dabao to sit down at the dining table.
Mother Zhao and the others came in carrying food.
Mother Zhao and her family have always been responsible for the preparation of meals themselves. In their hearts, they do not trust the people in Tiankui City and are worried that they will tamper with the meals.
When the delicious food was served on the table, the family of four all ate it with great appetite.
Bai Shuang brought them some water for them to wash their hands, then retreated.
During this period, the family of four eats together, and they have gradually gotten used to it.
"I might have to go out tomorrow."
Xiao Jin paused while serving her soup and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Orange Guardian said that he would go to the tribe behind the city to buy medicine every time, and he also said that the border of the Southern Kingdom is over there. I want to go there to take a look. After all, after we arrived in the Northern Wasteland, we were limited to a few places and have never been able to go around and understand the surrounding situation."
Xiao Jin's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, "Won't that mean it will take a long time?"
We don't know what the situation is outside yet, so the time is uncertain. "Try to come back as soon as possible."
"It's freezing outside now. Do we have to go now?"
"Anyway, with you guys in the city, things are slowly getting back on track. You can go take a look when you have free time. Now that you understand everything, maybe you can do more in the spring."
Xiao Jin still didn't agree, "Who are you going with?"
"Orange Guardian."
"What if I don't let you go?" Xiao Jin spoke slowly.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows and almost said, "Can you stop me?" But thinking that this boy had just lost to her in front of so many people today, he must be in a bad mood, so she said, "Should we just close the country and be self-satisfied? If there are any changes in the surrounding situation that affect us, we must be prepared."
"The scabs on your wounds haven't completely fallen off yet."
"It's already healed, what's the big deal about that little injury?"
Xiao Jin didn't say anything else, just disagreed.
The two little kids held their bowls, and from time to time they looked up at one, then the other, and always felt that their parents were arguing.
Erbao secretly tugged at the corner of Dabao's clothes, and Dabao looked at her in confusion.
Erbao said in what he thought was a very small voice: "Brother, Daddy seems to be angry. Will he eat Mommy? That night I saw Daddy bit Mommy's mouth hard. My God, Mommy was almost eaten by Daddy!"
Dabao's round face was also full of worry, "Is A Niang so delicious? Daddy likes to eat A Niang so much?"
Su Ying silently glanced at the two little heads gathered together, "Mother doesn't taste good, but if you don't eat well, you'll be hungry tonight."
The two little faces tightened and they both picked up their bowls and started eating with big mouthfuls. The food made by Grandpa He and Grandpa Murong was very delicious and should not be wasted!
After eating and drinking, Mother Zhao took the two little ones downstairs to wash up. When they returned to the bedroom, they found that their little bed was gone!
a bolt from the blue!
At this time, Su Ying was still taking a bath in the bathroom, and Xiao Jin was the only one in the inner hall.
"Daddy, where is my and my brother's crib?" Erbao ran to Xiao Jin in a panic and asked about the whereabouts of his crib.
Xiao Jin said calmly, "Your mother said that you are all grown up and should sleep in your own room from now on."
Two faces of shock!
Dabao's face was serious, "No, Daddy, we are still young."
Xiao Jin carried them directly to the side hall next door, "No, you are already grown up, you have to sleep by yourselves, otherwise mother will confiscate all your copper coins tomorrow!"
The two little kids covered their little pouches in fear!
When Su Ying came out of the bathroom, she found that the two children were not in the inner hall. Usually at this time they would have already washed up and were waiting for her in bed.
"Where are Ji'er and the others?"
Xiao Jin remained calm and said, "She said she has grown up and wants to sleep by herself."
Su Ying was surprised. Was it so sudden? He had been crying and begging to sleep with her a while ago, but now he wanted to be with her?
Seeing Su Ying's puzzled expression, Xiao Jin kindly explained, "Children will grow up eventually. They can't always sleep with you."
That was the truth, but she felt somewhat empty inside when she couldn’t see her two kids at bedtime.
Su Ying was getting ready to go to bed, and in the blink of an eye she saw Xiao Jin sitting on her bed again, "Xiao Jin, I'm going to sleep, the children are all asleep, you should go to another room too."
Xiao Jin didn't move again, but looked at her and said, "Do you really have to go tomorrow?"
