Black Rice: "Woof woof woof."
[Little master, come here quickly! I've found another one!]
Black Rice was in high spirits and no longer cared about Blind Lin's petty emotions.
After filling a basket, Heimi shook himself and, like a vanguard, went ahead to scout the way. A moment later, he ran back to fawn over Su Tiantian.
"Woof woof..."
[Little master, it's safe ahead.]
Lu Xuelian felt her heart melt at the sight.
Su Tiantian was having a great time chasing after Heimi.
Blind Lin walked at the back, occasionally humming, seemingly angry with someone.
But he blew on his nose and laughed again, making it impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.
Lu Xuelian went to wash the bamboo fungus, while Lin the Blind went to tell them how to cook rice.
Su Tiantian started playing in the mud where the water flowed out of the yard.
She hadn't played with mud in a long time, and she was surprised to find such good mud here, so she couldn't resist playing with it.
Heimi didn't understand why Su Tiantian liked playing in the mud, but she just followed along, digging in the mud and pressing her paw prints into it.
Not long after, Zhao Zhicheng came out. Seeing Su Tiantian playing in the mud, he didn't disturb her, but just watched her play affectionately from the side.
As the sun sets, the sight of the children and the dog evokes a sense of happiness even for outsiders.
"Dinner is almost ready."
Lu Xuelian came out to call for dinner. Seeing that Su Tiantian had gotten into a mess, she went over and led Su Tiantian into the yard, saying, "Grandma will give you a bath."
Su Tiantian nodded, then turned to Heimi and said, "Heimi, line up to wash your hands."
Heimi originally just wanted to roll around and shake, but upon hearing Su Tiantian speak, she immediately sat down politely behind her.
Lu Xuelian was amazed by the dog's intelligence. After washing Su Tiantian's hands and face, she also picked up Heimi and washed its paws and wiped the mud off its fur.
Hearing these sounds, Lin the Blind felt his anxious heart calm down.
He wasn't usually this attentive to black rice. The only reason he got a black dog was because it was less likely to get dirty.
Blind Lin is a Taoist who neither flatters nor eats meat. If he wanted, he could even get married and have children.
They sat down together, and Blind Lin fumbled around to serve them rice.
"Don't be so polite, I won't keep calling you that."
Lin the Blind was a straightforward person; after saying one sentence, he started scooping up food.
He couldn't see, so he ate whatever came up with a spoon.
The free-range chicken soup was delicious, and the vegetables cooked in it were also very tasty.
Su Tiantian put a chicken leg in Lin Xiazi's bowl.
Lin the Blind Man paused for a moment, then smiled. He shoved the chicken leg at Su Tiantian's face again: "You eat it. My teeth are fine. I just love gnawing on bones."
He couldn't see Su Tiantian's mouth, but he could sense its approximate location.
Su Tiantian accepted it with gratitude.
She could sense Lin the Blind Man's feelings.
The other chicken leg was also Su Tiantian's.
Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhiyuan refused to eat it, as they also liked Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian received a lot of love and ate until her belly was round and full.
The chicken feet were given to Heimi, and some meat was also left on the bones for him.
Black Rice grunted happily, taking a lot of bones into its nest to enjoy them slowly.
After they finished eating, Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian went to clear the dishes, and Lin the Blind didn't stand on ceremony with them.
"Little one, do you eat this much every day?"
Lin the Blind squeezed Su Tiantian's chubby hand and asked.
Su Tiantian blushed: "My uncles and the others said that I'm chubby now, but I'll grow taller when I'm older."
She must weigh around 40 pounds now; she has a bit of a belly, and you can even see the fleshy knots on her arms when she stretches them out.
She doesn't like studying or exercising, and she eats a lot, so it's no wonder she's overweight.
“Your family is just spoiling you. No child grows up to be thin. If you’re fat when you’re young, you’ll stay fat when you grow up. But if you become my apprentice, I guarantee you won’t get fat.”
As Lin the Blind Man spoke, he winked at Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian immediately grabbed Lin the Blind's arm: "Uncle Lin, do you have any brilliant ideas?"
"You haven't become my apprentice yet, so I can't say, but I can guarantee that you can eat as much as you want. As long as you learn according to my requirements, you will never gain weight again."
Lin the Blind kept it a secret, saying that the little one didn't yet understand how tiring academic law was, but she would know once she stopped taking shortcuts.
The energy expended is much greater than the energy ingested.
Being fat is impossible.
Back when he was a child studying law, he was so skinny he looked like a bamboo pole. A gust of wind could blow him away, and people were afraid he would break his skin if he got into a fight.
"I will definitely listen."
Su Tiantian nodded obediently. She would do anything to avoid gaining weight and to avoid having to study or exercise.
She would be willing to play in the mud every day or swim in the sea every day.
Blind Lin patted her little hand: "Come on, get up and practice your movements with me."
Su Tiantian didn't want to move.
Lin the Blind Man coaxed helplessly, "I promise you won't get tired. This is a unique, secret technique with special steps. Once you finish it, you'll be almost exhausted. You're only allowed to practice it once a day. I won't allow you to practice it more than once!"
Lin the Blind Man's words piqued Su Tiantian's interest.
Blind Lin sways left and right; this is a simple Taoist method for maintaining health.
He was worried that the child would have indigestion if he ate too much.
Moving around is always good for your health.
Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhiyuan finished tidying up and came out, sitting and watching for a while.
It's a beautiful day, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly.
The couple leaned against each other, enjoying the rare night view.
“Let’s wait a few more years, until we’ve completely retired, and then we’ll retire in the suburbs like this.”
Zhao Zhiyuan held Lu Xuelian's hand and spoke gently.
Lu Xuelian nodded: "Okay."
After practicing once, Su Tiantian refused to move.
After washing up, I went to bed.
Black Rice was allowed inside and slowly gnawed on a chicken bone.
So at night.
"Snoring—"
It was the sound of Su Tiantian sleeping soundly.
"Snap—"
That's the sound of Heimi eating a late-night snack.
For the next few days, Su Tiantian stayed at Lin the Blind's house.
Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian also stayed there. After getting to know him, they had come to admire Lin the Blind Man completely.
Blind Lin knew every part of this mountain.
He farmed his own land to be self-sufficient and raised his own livestock.
He didn't need their help, and his efficiency was so good that people doubted he was blind.
But whenever I saw his gray eyes, I knew he really was blind.
Saturday is here.
Lu Chen picked up Su Luo and brought Liu Xiaohua over together.
Liu Xiaohua had a great time acting for a few days, but she felt guilty for not seeing Su Tiantian for three days, so she specially bought some snacks to bring over.
"Mom, Grandma."
Su Tiantian ran like a little butterfly and jumped into Su Luo's arms. Su Luo caught her steadily and picked her up.
Black Rice hummed and whined as it circled around Su Luo, its tail wagging like a propeller.
Liu Xiaohua's gaze was gentle; seeing that Su Tiantian was having a good time these past few days made her feel at ease.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Lu."
Su Tiantian leaned on Su Luo's shoulder and greeted Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled slightly: "Good afternoon, Sweetie."
