Chapter 114
When a hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, it indicated that another night was about to pass quietly.
The roosters in the village crowed loudly to wake people up every morning.
In the room, Jiaojiao, who was lying in her father's arms, seemed to be disturbed by the crowing of a rooster and turned over unconsciously.
Li Yubai noticed his movements and closed his eyes, accurately covered Jiaojiao's ears with his hands, and skillfully patted his back twice. Jiaojiao, who was about to wake up with trembling eyelashes, was comforted by his father and fell asleep again.
Li Yubai opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Jiaojiao's sleeping face, rubbed his chin on his furry hair, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Time continued to move forward. At around eight o'clock, Li Yubai woke up from his sleep. He looked down at Jiaojiao who was sleeping with his legs spread out in his arms. He was surprised at how Jiaojiao's legs could be bent from behind to his head.
As he watched, Li Yubai reached out and took the phone from the side, turned on the camera function, aimed at Jiaojiao and pressed the photo button.
Li Yubai took half an hour to shoot this shot, covering all kinds of angles and perspectives.
When Jiaojiao woke up in a daze, he saw his father holding a cell phone at him. He reached out to rub his eyes, but Li Yubai held his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing?" The voice was still a little confused after waking up, but with the softness unique to children, which made Li Yubai's heart soften.
He reached out and ruffled Jiaojiao's messy hair, then stood up, picked her up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. After washing up, he answered Jiaojiao's previous question: "I'm taking a picture of Jiaojiao."
"Take a photo?" Jiaojiao, who had obediently stretched out her hands to let her father put on his clothes, looked up at her father in confusion when she heard this.
Li Yubai took the phone beside him and showed Jiaojiao the photo he had just taken: "Here, this is taking a photo to record Jiaojiao sleeping."
Jiaojiao looked at the photo of herself sleeping, opened her mouth in surprise, then leaned back on the bed, and bent her legs back with great effort, trying to restore her sleeping position.
Li Yubai found it hilarious and couldn't help but pick up his phone to take a few more pictures.
After watching Jiaojiao playing on the bed for a while, Li Yubai picked him up and walked towards the colorful mushroom house.
When the two of them arrived, Lu Yian and others had already arrived and were making breakfast in the kitchen.
As usual, Li Yubai prepared a bottle of milk for Jiaojiao, put Jiaojiao on the cushion next to the sofa, and then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
After dad left, Jiaojiao sat on the cushion, holding the bottle and drinking happily while playing with her little feet.
While playing, Jiaojiao noticed Cao Yuhao's red and swollen forehead. She immediately pulled the pacifier out of her mouth in surprise, crawled up, walked to Cao Yuhao and squatted down: "Brother Yuhao, what's wrong with your forehead?"
Lou Yaoyao, who was playing with building blocks nearby, quickly responded, "He had a nightmare last night and fell off the bed."
"Ah!" Jiaojiao exclaimed softly, frowning as she stared at the red and swollen bump on Cao Yuhao's forehead and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Cao Yuhao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't hurt. It was a little painful when I fell yesterday, but now it doesn't hurt at all if I don't touch it."
Jiaojiao lowered her head and took out two golden time-space coins from her pocket and said, "Dad gave these to Jiaojiao yesterday. Jiaojiao will buy you some candy later."
Li Yubai exchanged his work points for time-space coins as soon as he came back yesterday. After all, these work points were to be used to trade with the villagers, so it would be more convenient to exchange them for time-space coins.
One work point can be exchanged for five space-time coins. Li Yubai exchanged thirty work points for one hundred and fifty space-time coins, and gave twenty to Jiaojiao as pocket money.
If a child falls down, he should be given candy to comfort him.
Jiaojiao learned this from her aunt in the welfare home.
Hearing Jiaojiao was going to buy him some candy, Cao Yuhao grinned happily and came over to hug Jiaojiao and rubbed her: "Jiaojiao, you are so nice."
Seeing this, Lou Yaoyao dropped the building blocks in her hand, ran over and hugged Jiaojiao with her other hand, rubbing it hard: "I want candy too."
Jiaojiao blinked: "But Sister Yaoyao didn't fall down?"
Children who haven't fallen don't need to be comforted by candy.
"I don't care, I want it." Lou Yaoyao pouted while shaking her bright hand.
Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded her head: "Okay, Jiaojiao will buy it."
Mu Yicheng and Shi Huairou, who saw this scene, also came over with a smile.
It wasn't that they were craving the candy; with their family background, what kind of candy could they not have? They just inexplicably wanted to be close to Jiaojiao, to gain her attention and the subtle, yet real, love and care.
Jiaojiao, surrounded by people, blinked in confusion. She looked down at the space-time coins in her pocket. After finding a lot, she nodded her head. Her childish voice carried a bit of the domineering aura of a little boss: "I'll buy them all for Jiaojiao."
The netizens watching this scene in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing, and even the staff present couldn't help but smile.
Children are sometimes really healing, and people feel very happy just by looking at them. However, because children not only have a healing side, but also a depressing side, many people prefer to raise their children on the Internet, which is why children are so popular.
Not long after breakfast, the group carried hoes and went to the fields again. Today's task was to turn over the fields. Even Jiaojiao and the others carried mini hoes.
It’s not that we want them to make a big contribution, but we mainly want them to feel involved. The main responsibility of turning the soil still falls on the fathers and mothers.
After going down to the field, Jiaojiao picked up the small hoe and dug a few times before Li Yubai took her to sit under the shade of a tree.
Li Yubai didn't want Jiaojiao to work. Even in the countryside in the 1970s, no child would go to the fields to work at the age of two. Letting Jiaojiao pick up the small hoe and work in the fields was already the greatest tolerance he could give her.
Jiaojiao was sitting under the shade of a tree, holding the small water bottle that his father had specially given him to look after, and he was also responsible for supervising his father to drink water.
Jiaojiao stared at her father very attentively. As soon as she saw her father wiping his sweat, she crawled up from the ground, quickly came forward with a small water bottle, and waved her little paws to ask her father to come over and drink water.
Li Yubai, who was under strict supervision to drink water, took the kettle and took a sip. He lowered his head and met Jiaojiao's eyes staring at him eagerly. Knowing that Jiaojiao was worried about whether he was tired, Li Yubai's heart suddenly softened.
He bent down and reached out to poke Jiaojiao's soft face. The deep, sharp features looked a little softer than usual. "Jiaojiao, can you buy me some candy?"
He heard everything that was said in the living room this morning. Li Yubai, who rarely felt jealous, felt that he must have a share of the candy bought by his son.
"Sure." Jiaojiao patted the time-space coins in her pocket, looked up and smiled, "Buy them all for Dad."
"If you buy them all for me, you won't have any left." Li Yubai raised his eyebrows and said.
"I bought it for Daddy. Jiaojiao is so happy." Jiaojiao looked at him with bright eyes, stretched out ten little fingers and gestured, "It makes me happier than eating lots of candy."
Facing the love and dependence in Jiaojiao's bright dark eyes, Li Yubai suddenly laughed, like a child who hadn't seen candy for years and was suddenly happy with lots of candy. His eyebrows, which had always been calm, curved slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the fierce aura around him became more prominent, but without that oppressive feeling.
The morning sun seemed to cast a layer of light golden light on him, and in a trance, the netizens in the live broadcast room understood what it meant to be graceful and elegant, noble and flawless.
'He's so handsome, he's so handsome, I say it again he's so handsome!'
"Ever since I watched Time and Space's Baby, my perception of Li's appearance has been completely changed."
"With a face like his, he's one of the best in the entertainment industry."
'How could I have been so blind and not noticed this before?'
"He was so aggressive before, who dared to look at his face?"
"Oh my god, in the blink of an eye, I have a husband and a child!"
'Awooo awooo awooo my husband is so handsome, my cub is so cute, my life is perfect!'
In the president's office of the Li Group, Li Jingyi couldn't help but frown when he saw the term "Li Yu Bai Shen Yan" that was trending on the search results.
What's wrong with these idiots? They take the money but don't do the job? How can they even get on such a trending search?!
Li Jingyi took his cell phone with a dark face and made a call, asking them to remove the trending search immediately and then increase their efforts to discredit and damage Li Yubai's reputation among the public.
He would never allow Li Yubai to have a smooth life in the entertainment industry. Wouldn't that mean that all his suffering for more than 20 years would be in vain?
Thinking about this, Li Jingyi also called the driver Wang Yu to ask him how the adoption of the child named Jiaojiao was going.
Wang Yu stammered that Jiaojiao had been adopted by someone else, and the old dean didn't know what was going on, but deliberately refused to sign the adoption consent form, and ended up adopting Jiaojiao to someone else.
Li Jingyi frowned: "Do you know who adopted them?"
The driver, Wang Yu, said honestly, "I don't know."
Li Jingyi hung up the phone with a cold face. After thinking for a while, he called a private detective and asked them to help find out who adopted the child named Jiaojiao.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jingyi looked at Li Yubai's annoying smile on the computer and couldn't help but curse.
Jiaojiao really took out all the time and space coins in her pocket to buy candy.
After promising her father to buy him some candy, Jiaojiao sat under the shade of a tree and waited for Cao Yuhao to come out of the field. Then she ran up to him and asked if she could go buy candy with him.
After Cao Yuhao agreed, he and Cao Yuhao went to the program team's convenience store hand in hand and bought a bag full of candy.
After returning, Jiaojiao gave two candies to Cao Yuhao, Lou Yaoyao, Mu Yicheng and Shi Huairou, and then gave all the remaining candies to her father.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, took her father's hand and spread it out, took out some candy and put it in her father's hand. Then, a breeze blew by, making the treetops rustle, causing two leaves to break free from the branches. They floated down slowly with the wind and landed on Li Yubai, who was sitting under the tree.
Jiaojiao was very happy when she found the leaves on her father's head. She quickly supported herself with her hands and got up from the ground. After asking her father to lower his head a little, she tiptoed to take two leaves from his head and carefully put them in her pocket.
Li Yubai was speechless watching his actions. Jiaojiao always liked to hide things in her pockets, such as round stones, beautiful leaves, and colorful candy wrappers. This made him always check Jiaojiao's pockets carefully every time he washed her clothes, so as not to accidentally wash away the "treasures" he had collected with great difficulty.
Thinking of this, Li Yubai peeled a candy and put it into Jiaojiao's mouth. Seeing Jiaojiao's eyebrows curved with sweetness, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
After eating some candy and taking a rest for a while, Li Yubai continued to carry the hoe and went down to the field.
Not long after, the sky suddenly changed color and a rainstorm began to fall unexpectedly. A group of people hurried out of the fields and ran back in the rain.
When they returned to the Mushroom House, except for Jiaojiao who was tightly held in Li Yubai's arms and was not exposed to the rain, most of the others looked like drowned rats. However, Xiao Tiancheng was the worst off among them.
I don't know how he rolled down the slope while running. Not only did he get a mouthful of mud, but he also accidentally broke his little finger. The pain made his face twisted.
Fortunately, there was a doctor accompanying the program crew. He touched the body and said that it was nothing serious. He put on a plaster after the injury was repositioned and told the patient to be careful in the future.
After receiving this diagnosis, everyone felt relieved. Xiao Tiancheng changed into dry clothes and hurriedly got on a car to the county hospital.
After Xiao Tiancheng left, everyone went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
Worried that Jiaojiao would catch a cold, Li Yubai made a bowl of ginger soup for her.
Children have never liked the taste of ginger soup, but Jiaojiao still drank it obediently and told her father that it was delicious.
Li Yubai touched Jiaojiao's head, feeling a little sad in his heart. Sometimes, the more obedient Jiaojiao was, the more depressed he felt. Instead, he hoped that Jiaojiao could be more lively and naughty.
Apart from Jiaojiao, Mu Yichen also drank the ginger soup very well. He just frowned and drank it in one gulp.
But the other three children were not so lucky. The process of drinking the ginger soup was a complete chaos. Chen Yingke and Shi Yue had to use all their strength to get Shi Huairou and Lou Yaoyao to drink the ginger soup. As for Cao Yuhao, who was the most noisy, even his own father Cao Youen couldn't get him to drink the bowl of ginger soup.
In the end, it was Jiaojiao who took action and made Cao Yuhao drink the bowl of ginger soup with a frown.
Cao Youen, who was exhausted and lying on the sofa, glanced at Jiaojiao, who was frowning and drinking ginger soup with a frown after just waving his hand and asking Cao Yuhao to come over. He felt tired and surprised at the same time.
After thinking about it carefully, he found that his troublesome son really listened to Jiaojiao.
Cao Youen glanced at his son who was sticking out his tongue after drinking the ginger soup, and then glanced at Jiaojiao in Li Yubai's arms. An idea gradually emerged in his mind that he might have found a way to control his son.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Jie, who finally had some free time that day, came to Jun's house. He picked up Jun Che, who was watching the live broadcast of Time and Space Cub, and said, "Do you want to go see Jiaojiao?"
Jun Che's eyes lit up, he looked at his uncle and nodded: "I do."
Lu Jie rubbed his head and put him down from his arms: "Then go and pack your things."
Jun Che ran towards the room with his short legs and met Jun Zhengyu on the way.
"Why are you running? You look so happy?" Jun Zhengyu grabbed his head and stopped him from running forward.
Jun Che pursed his lips happily: "Uncle wants to take me to see Jiaojiao."
"Jiaojiao?" Jun Zhengyu, who had a rare holiday, had a hint of excitement in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the filming of Time and Space Cub should have been in Yun Province: "Take me with you!"
"You should ask your uncle." Jun Che said.
"Okay, I'll go ask my uncle right away." Jun Zhengyu pinched his face and said, "I'm going to buy a gift for Jiaojiao later. Do you want to come?"
Jun Che nodded: "Go!"
Lu Jie had no objection to Jun Zhengyu going together. After the three of them packed their things and bought gifts at the mall, they boarded a plane to Yun Province.
At this time, Jiaojiao, who was carrying a small bamboo basket and sowing seeds with his father, had no idea that he was about to meet three familiar people.
