Chapter 57 Ji Zishen, can't you control your dad...?
With Ji Sicheng's help, this legendary, incredibly difficult task was finally completed.
Having been in a love-hate relationship with Zhou Bapi for so long, Ji Zhiqi had established a revolutionary friendship with him. She proudly stretched out her hand and said, "I heard the mission rewards are very generous. Is it heavy? Why don't you find me a horse to carry it home?"
Zhou Bapi: "..."
Now that the mission is complete, he can no longer act as a supervisor and exploit Ji Zhi Qiu. His lips twitched a few times, and he forced a smile: "It's not heavy. If you don't want to take it back, find a ditch and throw it in."
Ji Zhi Qiu clicked his tongue, "As expected of you, Skinflint. You've got a really good plan. I threw you away and then went to retrieve you, and in the end, I didn't lose anything and even made a fortune."
"..." Zhou Bapi had no choice but to hand over the bag of silver coins, dutifully playing his role, "Silver coins are universally accepted throughout the entire variety show recording. You've worked so hard to earn so many, so don't lose them."
Ji Zhi Qiu took it and patted Zhou Bapi on the shoulder with satisfaction, "If you can't find a new job, come to my house."
Zhou Bapi stared blankly at Ji Zhiqi, just about to be moved, when Ji Zhiqi changed the subject, "As the skinflint, I will definitely squeeze you dry, no, I will urge you on."
*****
Ji Zhi Qiu disrupted the balance set by the program team and returned home laden with silver coins.
Ji Yanyan saw her father and happily ran over, rubbing against him like a kitten.
Ji Zhi Qiu smiled and patted Ji Yan Yan's head, coaxing, "Daddy is a little tired and can't carry Yan Yan anymore."
Ji Yanyan tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly patted her chest, "Yanyan isn't tired at all, Yanyan can hug Daddy!"
Just then, Ji Zishen came out carrying the dishes. Seeing Ji Zhiqi's expression and Ji Yanyan thrashing about at his feet, he spoke up in time, "Yanyan, it's almost time to eat. Go get the chopsticks."
Ji Yanyan responded enthusiastically and ran back, reminding her father to wash his hands quickly before leaving.
Ji Zhi Qiu had been working almost non-stop all morning, expending a lot of physical and mental energy. But perhaps he was too hungry, because he had no appetite at all when he looked at the fragrant food. "I'll take a shower first, and then I'll eat later."
Ji Zishen nodded and told him to hurry up.
After taking a shower, Ji Zhi Qiu wanted to change into some clean and refreshing clothes, but her gaze inexplicably fell on the bed.
The bed is so soft, why don't I lie down for a bit?
...
Three little people sat at the dining table, holding bowls bigger than their faces, skillfully using chopsticks, and eating with great relish.
Ji Yanyan shoveled rice into her mouth, then suddenly remembered something, "Dad hasn't come out yet."
Ji Zishen glanced at him and helped wipe the rice grains off his face: "It's about time, go and call your father."
Ji Yanyan nodded, her mouth still full of food, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster. She immediately jumped off the chair and hopped towards the bedroom.
"Dad, dinner's ready."
The bedroom was very quiet. Ji Yanyan listened for a while, her face wrinkling up. She turned to her two older brothers for help. Ji Zishen and Ji Sicheng realized the problem and went over to her.
The bedroom door was unlocked. After waiting for Ji Zhi Qiu's response, Ji Zi Shen and Ji Si Cheng exchanged a glance and pushed the door open.
The room was dimly lit with the curtains drawn, but you could still see a person lying face down on the bed with their buttocks sticking up high.
Ji Yanyan immediately laughed and scrambled onto the bed, "Dad, are you imitating a caterpillar?"
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes were closed, her breathing was even, and she showed no reaction.
"Dad is asleep," Ji Zishen reminded him.
Ji Yanyan scratched her head. "Do caterpillars all sleep like this?"
After kneeling on the bed, Ji Zhi Qiu intended to lie down, but unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness. Her body slumped forward, maintaining this strange posture as she drifted off to sleep.
Ji Zishen and Ji Sicheng figured out the key to it, and climbed into bed to try to help Ji Zhiqi change positions, but they couldn't get her moving after trying for a long time.
"Yan Yan, come over here and push Dad's shoulders. The three of us will push together." Ji Zishen came up with a solution.
The three little ones squatted on the bed. After the older brother finished reciting the slogan, they used all their strength to push their father over. After Ji Zhi Qiu changed to a more comfortable position, his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Ji Yanyan braced herself on the bed with her hands, stood up with a thud, grabbed a corner of the blanket, dragged it onto her father, and moved it from side to side on the bed. It took a lot of effort to make the blanket flat and properly cover Ji Zhiqi.
Ji Zishen lowered his voice and said, "Let's go out. Dad is too tired. Let's not disturb his sleep."
Ji Yanyan turned her head and said in a whisper, "I'll be right away. I won't disturb Dad."
Ji Zishen was relieved and went back to the kitchen.
Ji Yanyan snuggled up to her father, lay down on the bed, cupped her chubby face in her hands, and stared unblinkingly at her father's sleeping face. Her eyebrows curved into a smile, and she swung her raised leg back and forth.
[Ahhhhh, look at those eyes! Yan Yan must really love her dad!]
[Wow, Yan Yan is so young and already has that doting smile!]
I can understand that. If I had such a handsome dad, I'd admire him every day too.
[Hahaha, I didn't expect Yan Yan to be such a sucker for good looks! Look how handsome he is, I'm practically drooling.]
Ji Yanyan truly believed that her father was the most handsome person in the world. She felt happy every time she looked at him. Realizing that her laughter would disturb her father's sleep, she tiptoed out of the bedroom.
...
With the only adult in the house asleep, the three children and four cats were left unattended and were worried they might cause trouble. Viewers in the live stream were concerned that Ji Zhi Qiu would be woken up, but to their surprise, the three little ones took charge and managed things in an orderly manner.
After counting the silver coins, Ji Sicheng went out alone and found Wen Qizheng.
Wen Qizheng became their exclusive laborer. Ji Sicheng bribed him with just one silver coin, making Wen Qizheng run a trip to the store and bring back everything.
Ji Zishen was in charge of the household, directing Ji Yanyan to clean up and pick the ripe vegetables in the yard to prepare dinner. He made sure things didn't take too long.
After Ji Sicheng returned, he automatically took over the baton and assumed the responsibility of taking care of Ji Yanyan.
After they decided to record the variety show, they had a lot more things to deal with, and Yan Yan's little class was forced to be delayed for a long time. Ji Sicheng went back to his old ways, prepared the lesson as quickly as possible, and then spent ten minutes arousing Ji Yan Yan's enthusiasm for listening to the lesson.
Ji Yanyan immediately became a well-behaved student, not only listening attentively but also being quick-witted and able to apply what she learned to other situations. Ji Sicheng was also very serious about everything he did and quickly devoted himself to it, becoming a model teacher.
...
Ji Zhi Qiu slept soundly for a whole afternoon before recovering. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking around in a daze. His memory of the time before he fell asleep was blank, and he couldn't remember where he was for a moment.
His bones felt soft and his joints loosened. He yawned, struggled to his feet, and dragged himself outside.
As he pushed open the door, he overheard Ji Sicheng teaching Ji Yanyan vocabulary.
Ji Yanyan had a head start, having already learned pinyin and the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Ji Sicheng then started with the animals that Ji Yanyan was most interested in, combining Chinese and English and incorporating animal habits. In this way, she not only learned comprehensively but also remembered them deeply.
Although Ji Sicheng is still just a child, no one can avoid the fate of having consonant sounds when they are a preschool teacher. He clapped his hands and said, "Yan Yan is a smart child. Does Yan Yan know how a fox sounds?"
Ji Yanyan was very polite and immediately raised his hand, but unfortunately he had a father who lacked martial ethics.
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes weren't even fully open when he heard those words, and he immediately imitated a fox's howl.
"The Great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be king!"
Ji Sicheng: ……………
Ji Sicheng: ? ? ? ? ? !
Ji Yanyan's attention was immediately diverted, and she tilted her little face up and asked, "What is this? Why would a fox make that sound?"
"This is written in classical Chinese; that's how foxes call," Ji Zhi Qiu said with a respectful tone, quite confident, and very persuasive.
Ji Yanyan didn't hear clearly, but her eyes immediately lit up, "Yanyanwen!"
Sure enough! He knew there was a writing system named after him!
Ji Yanyan felt some kind of mysterious pull and immediately went over, shaking Ji Zhi Qiu's hand: "Dad, I want to learn Yanyan's writing. This was specially prepared for me."
Seeing his classroom atmosphere ruined and his well-behaved students being lured away, Ji Sicheng felt his blood boil and his face puffed up.
"You, you, you, you!" Ji Sicheng was at a loss for words when Ji Zhiqi was acting like this, and his clever and flexible mind became a complete mess.
Unable to vent his anger, he stomped his feet twice, swayed from side to side, and subconsciously turned towards the kitchen to complain, "Ji Zishen, can't you control your dad?!"
Ji Zishen was cooking, wearing an apron that almost reached his feet, when he came out with a spatula in his hand.
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes were not yet open, and his rascal-like behavior was just like that of a naughty child.
Ji Zishen considered himself an adult, and considering Ji Zhiqi's great contributions to the family, he sighed helplessly and indulged him endlessly.
Ji Zhi Qiu slept all afternoon, but still looked very tired. Ji Zi Shen took his hand and pulled him to the sofa.
He handed her the fully charged phone and coaxed her gently, "Sweetie, play on your phone for a bit, dinner will be ready soon."
Ji Zhi Qiu sat there like a giant bear child, sniffing, seemingly upset about something, "But I'm hungry."
Ji Zishen, undeterred by the hardship, ran back to the kitchen and washed a peach for him. "Have this to tide you over. Tonight's dishes are all your favorites."
Ji Zhi Qiu was finally satisfied. He lay down on the sofa in a frivolous manner, munching on a peach while playing on his phone, occasionally letting out a few ambiguous chuckles.
Viewers in the live stream: "..."
【No way, am I blind? Who's the child and who's the adult?!】
[Why is he getting this treatment? Why can't I do it instead!]
[This is the first time I've ever seen three children coaxing their father together...]
[However, he just woke up, his face wasn't washed, and he didn't even pick at his eye boogers, yet he looks this good. What did he do wrong?!]
Yes, Qiuqiu works so hard for the family. He's amazing; he earned enough for the whole family's expenses in just one morning.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to envy the father or the child.
