Little Grey thought there was something delicious in the bucket, but it turned out to be just a broken fish, and he immediately lost interest.
The next second, as Little Grey struggled, he fell into the bucket with a splash.
"Wooo~" The frightened Little Grey shivered in the bucket, crying pitifully.
Mo Jingchun raised an eyebrow and lifted the puppy up.
Fortunately, the fish was fine.
"Go dry yourself outside before coming in."
After Little Greyâs paws hit the ground, he tucked his tail and dashed out in a flash.
How terrifying, that fish actually eats dogs.
Just then, Xiaofeixia and Hawkeye came in carrying the fish tank.
"Boss, the fish tank is here, where should we put it?"
Mo Jingchun looked around, glanced around, and pointed to the corner, saying:
"Just put it here."
The whole aquarium is meant for viewing, so the living room is the most suitable place to set it.
Itâs just a bit troublesome to change the water every time.
But these are minor issues for Mo Jingchun.
Hehe, anyway, thereâs a big sucker at home.
After a while, he will also consider hiring two more maids.
The villa is so big; cleaning it is exhausting.
Although thereâs a robot vacuum cleaner, it can only get the more obvious trash on the floor.
The nooks and crannies just canât be cleaned by a robot vacuum.
Fortunately, thereâs a water pipe at home, saving the effort of carrying water.
A fish tank as tall as one meter requires two tons of water, according to the volume formula.
Who knows how many trips it would take to fill it up with buckets?
"Brother, let me do it, let me do it."
Once the water was filled, just as her brother picked up the koi to throw it into the aquarium, the little one grew anxious.
"You canât reach."
"Hold on!" After saying that, the little one ran to the bathroom.
In no time, the little one came back holding a small stool.
Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling exchanged a glance; the little one was quite clever, actually knowing to use a tool.
"Brother, the fish."
Standing on the small stool, the little one stretched out both hands.
Mo Jingchun smiled as he looked on and then easily reached out and scooped up the fish from the bucket again.
The redundant behavior, but Mo Jingchun enjoyed it nonetheless.
The koi, not very docile in Mo Jingchunâs hands, stayed still without any resistance when Little Candy held it.
Curiously enough.
Zhou Yaling, on the side, found it quite amazing.
She used to be a pure materialist.
But since attending university and encountering more and more things, she realized that there are too many things that science canât explain, at least not with the current understanding.
Just like the scene unfolding before her eyes right now.
Watching Little Candy lift the koi high, Zhou Yaling was really concerned it might fall.
If the fish struggled even a little, it would definitely fall to the ground.
Luckily, everything went smoothly, and it seemed reasonable.
With a splash, the koi swam happily around the aquarium.
The little one wasnât happy for a few seconds before starting to worry again.
"Brother, cats eat fish, what do fish eat?"
"Grass?"
"They eat grass and also meat."
"There are corn kernels in the fridge, perfect for feeding them."
After teasing the koi, Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"You can buy live shrimp tomorrow to put in."
There are no live shrimp now, but there are corn kernels.
With a bright look, Little Candy pulled Zhou Yaling towards the kitchen fridge.
At this moment, Little Grey, who had run out earlier, returned looking around.
Catching Mo Jingchunâs gaze, Little Grey stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that nothing happened, the next second, it wagged its tail and ran towards Mo Jingchun.
At the dinner table in the evening, while eating, Zhou Yaling asked:
"Bro, my dad texted me this afternoon asking when youâre going back to the hometown."
"So he can plan accordingly."
While eating, Mo Jingchun thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, itâs fine to go back a day early."
"Okay."
"Then Iâll go back with you the day after tomorrow."
Mo Jingchun glanced at Zhou Yaling and said, "You want to go back too?"
"Yeah, is that not okay? Two days off shouldnât be a big deal."
"Alright."
If Zhou Yaling wants to go back, he has no reason to refuse.
She wants to go back to pay respects to their aunt. As her brother, he canât say no.
Time flies so fast; in a blink, itâs already been four years.
The scenes from four years ago are still vivid in Mo Jingchunâs memory, as if they happened yesterday.
Looking at the little one with a mouthful of oil, Mo Jingchun felt quite gratified.
In the past four years, his greatest achievement is safely raising Little Candy.
Only by going through it do you realize how challenging it can be.
Noticing the gaze, Little Candy holding a chicken leg looked at his brother with confusion.
"Brother, whatâs up?"
"Nothing, eat slowly, no oneâs going to snatch it from you."
"But Little Grey is still waiting for the chicken bone."
Hearing this, the corner of Mo Jingchunâs mouth twitched.
Building up such a great atmosphere and you spoiled it with one sentence.
The crucial point is, Little Grey is actually sitting there, tilting its head and staring at the chicken leg in Little Candyâs hand.
Mo Jingchun sighed lightly, then turned to Zhou Yaling and said:
"Weâre not poor; if need be, just cook one more chicken leg."
Zhou Yaling rolled her eyes, "If my dad found out, youâd get scolded, and Iâd get a beating."
To the older generation, such behavior is just wasting food.
Those who know think weâre raising a dog, those who donât might think weâre raising a child.
Mo Jingchun said resentfully, "What are you afraid of? If you donât say and I donât say, how would Uncle know?"
Zhou Yaling looked at Little Candy, who was gnawing on the chicken leg, remained silent. The answer was obvious.
"Alright, we canât rule out that risk."
Mo Jingchun couldnât guarantee that the little one wouldnât spill the secret.
Placing the chicken bone on the ground, Little Candy gave a disdainful sideways glance at Zhou Yaling.
"Do I look stupid?"
"I wonât tell Uncle."
Little Candy huffed a couple of times, thinking, at most, this little secret would be told to Grandpa.
Given what the little one said, Zhou Yaling didnât have anything else to say.
She could only tentatively say, "Next time, cook one more, then?"
"Cook one more."
"Cook one more."
Mo Jingchun and Little Candy said in unison.
"Alright then." With the assurance, Zhou Yaling was also at ease.
If worst comes to worst, theyâll all face it together.
With Little Candy in front, the old man would just glare at most.
Little Grey, not knowing it was enjoying the good life, was still munching on the bone, completely unaware that next time, it would get a whole chicken leg.
On the morning of the third day, Monday, Mo Jingchun told Xia Xiaomin he was heading back for some errands and to contact him if needed.
By around one in the afternoon, a long convoy departed from the technology park.
Having not returned to the hometown for a long time, the little one in the car was a bit excited.
Compared to toys, Little Candy obviously found mud more fun.
Unfortunately, XiangâEr went to Shanghai; otherwise, they could play with mud together.
Seeing Zhou Yaling smiling foolishly, Mo Jingchun said:
"When are you planning to get a driverâs license?"
