Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 393 Going to Watch Foreigners Eat Snails (Part [-])
"Those two parrots are so beautiful!" Bai Qian exclaimed.

If she could move, she would have passed by now.

Cheng Xinxin carried the two birds, and walked to her side again: "Look, Mom, these are Caicai and Sisi. They can talk."

The two birds rested on her shoulders and arms, and did not run away. They looked at Bai Qian with dark eyes, and the eyeballs rolled around.

At this time, Bai Qian was very happy to be able to see the parrot up close, but Cheng Xinxin was still holding the snail in her hand. She was half happy, half scared, and froze again.

Cheng He had no choice but to say from the side: "Xinxin, take the snail away..."

Saying this, Cheng Xinxin was reminded. She immediately put the snail in her hand to the parrot's mouth and said, "Caicai, come and eat, come and eat..."

Caicai turned her head to the side, not looking at it.

It's no wonder, it eats nuts, corn, and peanuts, and has already developed its taste. It doesn't eat this kind of sticky things with shells.

Between feeding and not eating, time passed like this. Bai Qian looked at the snail nervously, feeling like she was about to suffocate.

For people who are not afraid of bugs, this is of course nothing, but some people are afraid of these, just like "intensive phobia" and "acrophobia", things that obviously don't hurt people, but they can cause human discomfort.

Cheng He had no choice but to stand up, hugged Cheng Xinxin, held it high, and said, "Honey, I told you to take the snail farther away, didn't you hear?"

Being held high, Cheng Xinxin laughed happily and asked, "Why?"

"Because mom is afraid of bugs, you know?"

"Why is mom afraid of bugs?"

"Then why don't you like doing homework?"

"Because I just don't like homework."

"By the way, mom is afraid of bugs, you know?" Cheng He stretched out his hand to scratch her waist while talking.

The little girl was so happy that she laughed and said, "Okay Dad, I understand, let me down, let me down quickly, help... Hahaha... help..."

Cheng He put her down, and the little girl immediately threw the snail in her hand into the pigsty.The two wild boars being fed in the pen will eat everything.

Then, she ran to her mother again, showed her her two empty hands, and said in a milky voice, "Mom, I threw it away, are you still afraid?"

Bai Qian gently raised a hand, touched her head slightly stiffly, and said, "I'm not afraid now."

This child is so sensible that she doesn't know what to say.She missed the growth period that accompanied her.

Cheng Shi poured out the chicken blood. Seeing Cheng Xinxin's cute appearance, he wanted to tease her again, and said, "Xinxin, snails are a good thing. Why did you throw them away? French people like to eat snails, you know?"

"I don't believe it, you're lying." Cheng Xinxin turned around and said with a pout.

For this person who always likes to talk ironically, Cheng Xinxin has a lot of distrust for him.

"I'm not lying. It's true. If you don't believe me, ask your father if the French eat snails!" Cheng Shi said seriously.

Cheng He went to get a pot of boiling water, and put the chicken that had just been slaughtered into the pot to scald it. Suddenly, the heat overflowed, and a smell of chicken feathers came out.

Cheng Xinxin asked him, "Father, do the French eat snails?"

Cheng He said quickly: "Baby, stand a little farther away, Dad has boiling water here, be careful it's hot."

Cheng Xinxin stepped back a bit, and asked again: "Father, is it true that Uncle Cheng Shi said that the French eat snails?"

While ironing chicken feathers, Cheng He said, "The French eat snails, but not the kind you just played with. The snails the French eat are very big, bigger than your fist."

Cheng Xinxin lowered her head, looked at her little fist, and said in surprise, "There is such a big snail? The snail just now was too small."

Just now she thought it was too big.

Then, her focus was immediately shifted: "Dad, who are the French?"

"The French are from another country. For example, we are Chinese." Cheng He patiently explained to the child.

"Then what country are people from? What kind of French are they?" Cheng Xinxin asked eagerly.

This age is the age of curiosity, wanting to ask and know everything.

Cheng He wanted her to spend more time with her mother, so he said, "Ask your mother, she knows."

So, Cheng Xinxin turned her head again and asked, "Mom, what other country are there?"

Bai Qian was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the father and daughter chatting intimately. Is this their daily life?For some reason, her heart was also filled with sweetness, just looking at it made her happy.

Although I have dreamed of these countless times before, none of them are as real as the current scene.

Cheng Xinxin asked her, and she said seriously, "There are many countries in the world, and there are Americans, British, and Germans..."

Cheng Xinxin was amazed by so many answers. Mom knows a lot!
So, she thought for a while and asked again: "Mom, let's go and see the people in their country, okay? Let's go and see them eat snails."

Well, a topic brought up by Cheng Shi, the French eat snails, brought the topic to the present.

Little girl, she still wants to see foreigners, to see others eat snails.

Bai Qian said with a smile: "Okay, when my mother recovers, I will go to see foreigners with you and watch them eat snails. However, it is far away, and I have to go by plane."

"Father is going too." Cheng Xinxin immediately added.

"Well, yes, Dad is going too. Let's all go." Bai Qian said softly.

Cheng Shi asked, "Xinxin, snails are delicious, don't you eat them?"

Cheng Xinxin turned her head, hesitated for a while, and said, "I won't eat."

When she mentioned the word "delicious", she was indeed a little moved, but when she thought of the sticky appearance, she shook her head decisively.

Cheng He said very proudly: "Honestly, you still want to lie to my little girl. Look, is she being fooled? Don't mention how smart she is."

Probably every father will feel a sense of comfort when he sees his children showing smartness.

How do you say something?A wife is good for others, but a child is good for one's own.

Cheng Xinxin knew that her father was praising her, so she immediately became overjoyed.

Before she knew it, she was lying on her mother's legs, and the relationship with her mother seemed to be getting closer.

Bai Qian was very worried, afraid that the bones in her legs would hurt her.But the child is so close to her, she likes this feeling very much.

Cheng Shi looked at Cheng Xinxin, pretended not to be convinced, and said, "Hmph, it's not easy to deceive her. I'll find a way to deceive her tomorrow."

Cheng Xinxin stuck her tongue out at him and made a grimace, and said softly, "You can't fool me, you can't fool me."

While handling the internal organs of the chicken, Cheng He said, "Honestly, we will have dinner at our house."

Bai Qian no longer needs to rely on injections to eat, and her masticatory and swallowing muscles can start to move a little, so it is no problem to eat liquid food.

Only by eating on your own can your body recover faster.

He planned to cook chicken porridge for her to add some nutrition.

Cheng Shi had no intention of leaving, so he said bluntly, "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and help you."

Cheng He asked him: "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to contract to plant fruit trees on the top of the mountain last time? How is it?"

So many days have passed. When he contracted Qingyu Peak, he was really vigorous and resolute. He said that he contracted it immediately.

Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "Oh, the money is still short, so it might not work out. My dad said that it's better to take it easy and get the wedding money together first. I'll do it after I get married."

The simple idea in the countryside is to start a family first and then start a business. Cheng Shi's parents still value the old tradition more.

This is also because the conditions are a little better now. If it were before, as long as someone came to say goodbye, no matter what the other party asked, Cheng Shi's mother would agree, and why would he consider whether to contract first or later.

In a word, let's talk about the marriage.

Cheng He asked: "What's the matter? Didn't you say last time that the girl asked you to do something with the gift money?"

Cheng Shi scratched his head, and said with a helpless expression: "Her family told her that she was devoted to the outside world, and she was like this before she got married, so she would be looked down upon by my family. And they said that they would not spend money if they asked for it. Let her bring it as a dowry."

This is also the truth, the girl is simple, but her family always thinks more, asking for gift money is also a temptation.

Cheng He said: "Then you should prepare the gift money first, is there enough money for the gift money?"

"The gift money alone is enough, but after giving the gift money, and then holding a banquet or something, I guess there will be no money to contract the mountain." Cheng He wanted to scratch his head.

At his age, a man still has a lot of energy and wants to make a career.

I used to worry when my family had no money, but now that I have built a house and have some spare money, I still worry.

Cheng He said with a smile: "Then you should get married first, or if you contract the mountain, count me in, if you really want to do this."

Cheng Shi's eyes brightened: "Really?"

If so, that would be really nice.To be honest, with the little money his family has now, it is actually very difficult to contract the mountain.

Even if the contract is reluctantly contracted, all kinds of money will be required in the follow-up. Although it is said that he can live with a little tightness, but in terms of business, he also knows that it is not easy to do well.

If Cheng He joins, there will be no problems. Money is one aspect, and Cheng He is also better than them in terms of management.

"Of course it's true." Cheng He said.

He thought about lending money to Cheng Shi, but borrowing money and joining are two different things. Borrowing money may lend out enemies, but if you buy shares, you can do business and make mutual profits, which is safer.

Cheng Xinxin couldn't understand what the adults were saying, but she chimed in, "Of course what my father said is true!"

The little girl was full of pride, what her father said was of course true.
