Chapter 47 Never Seen a Tomato
Since you have decided to do a paternity test, there is no need to tell anyone else before the test results come out to avoid complications.
Jian Yunsang said to He Pu and the others, "Nanzhou and I will take Chao Chao to the identification center this afternoon. If we expedite it, we should be able to get the results tomorrow."
"Don't worry, why don't you just get some hair from Chao Chao and have Nan Zhou take it with him. The child is young, and it will be painful for him to run around."
"That's fine." Jian Yunsang thought about it and agreed. Chaochao has been going to the hospital these past two days, so it would be better to let her rest more at home.
After Jian Yunsang agreed, he took Chaochao's clothes and went out.
As soon as she left, Song Zhen said with emotion, "Wang Pingqiu said that Yun Sang was not from a wealthy family, and that she was not good at this or that. I think she is the one who is petty. Our Yun Sang is obviously generous and reasonable. It is a blessing for the He family that Nanzhou can marry her."
He Pu smiled, "What do they know? We are the family and we know our own business. Why bother with them? Besides, Chao Chao is back now, and the young couple will be able to reconcile as before. Our family is finally safe and sound."
"Yeah, then... the eldest and second brothers, should we wait until the results of the identification come out before telling them?"
He Pu nodded, "Well, let's talk about it after we get out." As he spoke, he stood up and said energetically, "Let's go, let's go see Chao Chao."
He couldn't wait to go out. Song Zhen laughed behind him, shook her head and hurriedly followed him, "Look at the floor covered with your dirty shoes. You didn't even change them when you came in..."
They came to the courtyard. Chaochao had already put on his coat and was happily holding his parents' hands, looking around curiously.
The He family's yard is very large. Not only does it have a private swimming pool, but there is also a small pond in the back with a lot of fish. There is a small pavilion next to it. Walking across the small wooden bridge, you can see a whole row of cabinets inside, which are filled with fish nets and bait.
A few years ago, the old man had handed over most of the company's affairs to He Nanzhou. He was in a semi-retired state. Occasionally, when he felt like it, he would sit by the pond and fish. He lived a very comfortable life.
Unfortunately, Chao Chao disappeared two years ago, and He Nanzhou had to look for his daughter, so he didn't have much energy to manage the company. The old man had to put on his armor again and became the main force, leading a busy life. Fortunately, Chao Chao is back now, and he can live his life as before.
When he thought of this, He Pu became energetic again. After a few days, when He Nanzhou had enough affection with his daughter, he would let him go back to the company, and he could live a life of enjoying his grandchildren. He was happy just thinking about it.
There is an open-air greenhouse not far away, which is Song Zhen’s occasional pastime. The swing was previously installed here.
There were several fruit trees planted in the courtyard, and the pomegranate and grapefruit trees were full of fruits. He Nanzhou reached up a branch, picked two grapefruits, took Chaochao's hand, sat down on a stool nearby, and started peeling them.
Jian Yunsang whispered, "Lunch will be served soon, don't peel too much."
"I know. Let's taste it first. Do you like grapefruit?"
Chao Chao had never eaten pomelo. She shook her head in confusion and said, "Some people in the village grow pomelo, but they don't allow others to pick them. The wild pomelo in the mountains is picked before it matures. I have never tasted it."
He Pu, who was standing not far behind them, felt distressed when he heard this. "We have a lot of grapefruits at home. If Chao Chao likes to eat them, they will all be yours in the future."
Chao Chao shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I, I don't need so much."
Song Zhen whispered in He Pu's ear, "The family that adopted Chao Chao was very bad. She suffered a lot. Now she has become much more timid and sensible. She doesn't dare to ask for more, for fear that we will dislike her, despise her and drive her away. I feel sad when I see her like this now."
He Pu clenched his hands and looked tense. "Can we find the village?"
"I don't know. This was handled by Nanzhou."
So, when Jian Yunsang and Song Zhen took Chao Chao back to the restaurant for lunch, He Pu fell a few steps behind and asked He Nanzhou, "Have you found a place to adopt Chao Chao?"
Speaking of this, He Nanzhou looked solemn, "It's very strange, I can't find the Shangliu Village that Chao Chao mentioned."
"Can't find it? Then maybe it's not Shangliu Village, but Sangliu Village, or Sanliu Village?"
"I checked, it's not. And I can't find any of the villages Chao Chao mentioned at the same time."
He Pu frowned, "So weird?"
"I'll ask Chao Chao more about the specific situation later to see if I can get more clues."
"Be more tactful. Those days in the past are not good memories for her. Don't make her sad."
"I know."
When the father and son returned to the restaurant, Xiao Chaochao was already sitting obediently on the dining chair, with his hands on the table, waiting for them quietly.
She was actually a little overwhelmed. She had thought that the table of dishes her father had prepared yesterday was already very sumptuous, but she had not expected that today the table would be filled with dishes, many of which she had never seen before.
He Pu sat down. "Let's eat." He looked at Chao Chao and said, "Eat more. You can eat whatever you want in your own home. If you can't get something, tell us."
"Yes, yes, yes. Come on, scrambled eggs with tomatoes. You used to like it. You said it tasted sour and sweet and was appetizing." Song Zhen picked up some food with chopsticks for her.
Chao Chao blinked, "Tomato? What is it?"
Song Zhen was stunned. "You've never eaten tomatoes before?" That's not right. Aren't tomatoes more common in the village? Some people grow them at home.
Chao Chao shook his head, took a bite, and his eyes lit up, "Delicious."
Song Zhen looked at Jian Yunsang, who seemed to be thinking about something. Sweet potatoes and tomatoes, these common things, Chao Chao had never seen them before. How could this be possible?
Every time the people of the Daqi Dynasty under the sky saw Chao Chao eating, they couldn't help but drool.
Yesterday it was sweet potatoes, today it’s tomatoes, these things look delicious, they are red and juicy, like fruits, and they are sour and sweet?
What to do? I want to eat again.
Emperor Jingxuan made a "tsk" sound. He was processing memorials. Although the strange sight of the sky curtain appeared, there was still no shortage of memorials.
Some of the memorials were talking about Tianmu, while others were still mentioning that lifting the maritime ban was an act against his ancestors and asked him to think twice.
He not only thought twice, but also thought four times and five times. Only by lifting the ban on sea trade can the economy be boosted and the treasury be filled. However, these ministers...
Emperor Jingxuan threw the memorial onto the imperial desk, rubbed his brows in annoyance, raised his head to look at the sky, and saw tomatoes.
For some reason, he also felt like eating.
There are too many good things in the sky, but unfortunately, I don’t know how to get them. “Why hasn’t Liang Wei brought the person back yet?”
Cao Qing: "..." Your Majesty, the person has been gone for two days.
