Chapter 6: Household Registration



Xu Jianguo put the little girl on the kang, took out a small bowl of well water from the space and placed it on the kang table.

Then he took out a red rope from the space, strung the jade pendant left by the old Taoist priest together, hung it around the little girl's neck, and told her not to show it to anyone.

"Haha, I'll be obedient and not show it to others." said the little girl.

"Haha, Ming is really good. Drink the water in the bowl after eating the candy, otherwise your teeth will get rotten."

"Got it, haha."

Seeing the little girl drink the water in the bowl, Xu Jianguo asked, "Mingzhen, are you hungry? Brother made something delicious, do you want to eat it?"

"Haha, I'm hungry. I want to eat."

"Okay, sit down on the kang, I'll serve the meal."

"Okay, quack."

Seeing the little girl sitting properly, Xu Jianguo left.

After a while, he brought millet porridge, steamed buns, mushu pork and pickled mustard greens into the house, placed them on the kang table, served a bowl of porridge to the little girl, put a wooden spoon into the bowl, and took a pair of chopsticks to place them on the table.

Then he took a towel and wiped the little girl's hands before sitting on the kang.

The little girl stared at the food on the table without blinking, swallowing her saliva continuously, "Haha, it smells so good!"

"Haha, if it smells good, eat more. You're still growing. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you!"

After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he noticed that the little girl was still staring at the food but didn't eat it. He couldn't help but feel strange and asked, "Mingzhen, why don't you eat?"

“Gaga, Shihu said that Mingzhen is a child, so when he eats on the seventh day, he should let the elders eat first.”

After hearing Mingzhen's words, Xu Jianguo sighed in his heart. Although practicing in the mountains was hard, even so, the old Taoist priest still educated Mingzhen very well.

Xu Jianguo picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of wood ear mushroom and put it in his mouth, saying, "Ming Zhen is so good, brother has already eaten, you should eat too."

"Okay, haha." After saying that, he grabbed the wooden spoon in the bowl and ate the millet porridge in the bowl in big mouthfuls.

Looking at the little girl wolfing down the food, Xu Jianguo's eyes turned red.

He picked up the big steamed bun on the table, broke off a piece, tore a slit in the broken piece, stuffed it full of mushu pork and pickled mustard greens, handed it to the little girl and said, "Don't just drink the porridge, eat the steamed bun."

The little girl took the steamed bun and asked, "Haha, what is this?"

"This is a steamed bun. I put some vegetables in it for you. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Steamed buns? Aren't steamed buns black?" the little girl asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Xu Jianguo sighed, thinking that this was probably the first time for the child to eat white flour buns, and he couldn't help but feel even more sorry for his sister.

"There are black and white steamed buns. This is because they are made from different grains. But trust me, white steamed buns are tastier. You'll know once you take a bite."

"Okay, haha." After saying that, he took a big bite, then widened his eyes and looked at Xu Jianguo in disbelief.

"Haha, this white steamed bun is delicious, the vegetables inside are delicious, and the meat is delicious too. I'm so lucky!"

Looking at the little girl dancing with joy, Xu Jianguo also smiled happily.

"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more. But chew it slowly. Eating too fast will give you a stomachache. And I won't let you go hungry anymore. Whenever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"Yeah, Gaga is the best. I have Gaga too!" The little girl cheered and continued to eat the steamed bun in her hand.

Soon, the two of them finished all the dishes on the table. The little girl drank a bowl of porridge and ate half of a steamed bun, making her belly round and plump. Xu Jianguo was very happy to see this and thought to himself, "This must be the sense of accomplishment that comes from being a breeder!"

Xu Jianguo cleared the dishes and took out a bowl of well water from the space and placed it on the table. He looked at the clock in the space and found that it was already past 6 o'clock in the morning. He said, "Mingzhen, you stay home. I'm going out for a while and will be back soon, okay?"

"No! Can you take me with you?"

Xu Jianguo thought about it and decided to go report the news to the village chief and talk about the matter of registering Mingzhen. He could take Mingzhen with him so that the village chief could be a witness.

"Okay, brother will take you with me." As he said that, he stretched out his hands, and the little girl threw herself into Xu Jianguo's arms, giggling.

Xu Jianguo carried the little girl out of the house and headed towards the village chief's house.

Mingzhen chattered non-stop on the way. Although her speech was still unclear, it did not hinder the communication between the old and the young. It seemed as if Xu Jianguo could understand what the little girl meant naturally.

The two of them strolled to the village chief's house. Xu Jianguo pushed open the gate and walked in. Li Mancang was smoking in the yard at this time. When he saw Xu Jianguo walking in with a child in his arms, he hurriedly stood up.

"Hey, Jianguo, is this child alive...well?" Li Mancang asked.

"Uncle, it's okay. Uncle Zhuzi's medical skills are really amazing!" Xu Jianguo said while giving a thumbs up.

"It's really amazing!" Li Mancang felt a little unbelievable.

"Mingzhen, this is the village chief. Just follow your brother and call him uncle." Xu Jianguo said

"Hello, village chief Huhu (uncle), my name is Mingzhen, and I am Gaga's sister." The little girl greeted Li Mancang.

"Oh, good, what a good boy." Li Mancang couldn't stop smiling.

"Uncle, I came here to ask about Mingzhen's household registration. Also, I would like to ask you and the elders in the village to bear witness for us. From today on, Mingzhen is my, Xu Jianguo's biological sister." After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he looked at Mingzhen in his arms lovingly.
