"Ah-choo!" Everyone was having a great time, going back and forth.
A feast of chili and Sichuan peppercorns suddenly descended from the sky. Xiao Fang, with a full belly, hugged the stone pot of stir-fried ingredients and said carefreely, "I won!"
Yezhi, the child raised in this spicy hot pot, had the strongest impact as he wiped his face and stormed toward Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang shrank his neck: The master wouldn't be a sore loser, would he?
"Xiao Fang!"
"I-I...!"
"Well done! Haha~ Quickly throw out what's left in the pot!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. The red bean, who was coughing until his face turned red, finally managed to squeeze out a "run," just as a rain of chili and peppercorns fell down.
Six figures dashed out of the house, and Yezhi immediately changed the house's access rights from "free entry" to "no entry."
The six people, concerned about their image, left awkwardly after throwing out a remark about settling scores next time.
Xiao Fang proudly stepped forward to take credit, but Yezhi punched him, saying, "Why did you hit me?!"
"Don't you know why?" Yezhi glared at him.
Xiao Fang shot back, "Are you trying to compete with me in eye size? My eyes are 10 cm long and 10 cm wide. When fully open, the diameter increases to...!"
Yezhi couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and punched him again. This time he felt wronged. "Why... did you hit me...?" As he spoke, he bumped into Yezhi's arms, tears shooting out in a parabolic arc. "Wah~!"
"You made the master cry and still have the nerve to cry yourself. Look at my clothes!" Xiao Fang sniffled. No wonder his eyes hurt more the more he wiped them on the master's clothes.
"Stop rubbing your tears and snot on me!"
Xiao Fang twisted his neck. "You made me cry; you have to take responsibility!"
"Poof!" Yezhi laughed, "Who taught you that line?"
"TV dramas!"
"So the lines are universal!" Should she collaborate with Xiaofang on some melodramatic scripts? She had many ideas in her mind; it would be a shame not to use them to earn a living! However, Xiaofang couldn't be allowed to watch them indiscriminately. "Xiaofang, you should watch fewer TV dramas in the future. You must have my approval before watching anything!"
"I don't want to!" The Dead Old Man said that a good system robot must first understand its owner, and the best way to understand its owner is to start from the era they lived in. TV dramas are the best way to learn about culture and humanity. He had sent many dramas to it, and it was currently obsessed with one called "My Love from the Star." Being an alien too, look how well that character was doing—walking through walls, stopping cars... The only downside was that the beautiful star liked to get physical just like its owner. After watching "My Love from the Star," it wanted to see "Let's Get Married," "Step by Step into Love," "The Big Bang Theory," and more!
"You really are becoming more disobedient. It's not good for kids to watch too many TV dramas!" Knowing too much can lead to worries; she was more mature than her peers, experiencing early love...
A reminder: A robot that only blindly obeys is definitely not a good robot. "The Dead Old Man said TV dramas can help me understand Earth and my owner!"
"Dead Old Man? You still have contact with him!" By now, her resentment towards the Dead Old Man wasn't as deep; although he had scammed her out of some money and left her broke, money had balanced their relationship. In retrospect, the Dead Old Man now "owed" her, and she would eventually get that money back.
"He sent so many TV dramas, including 'My Love from the Star,' 'Let's Get Married,' 'Step by Step into Love,' and more!"
Yezhi was stunned; as a seasoned TV fan, how had she never heard of these? "Xiaofang, let me see!"
Xiaofang was clever and didn't show the popular star drama but instead played "Let's Get Married," which could resonate with Leftover Women since her owner had been single for many years. Although that wasn't the case anymore, there was still a sense of nostalgia.
In mid-air, a holographic image projected music that was completely unfamiliar. After just three minutes of watching, Yezhi felt heartbroken by lines like "Don't talk to me about love; it's hypocritical. If you have the ability, let's get married," and "Who's chasing me? Time is chasing me!" She was sure she hadn't seen this before; could it be airing after her time travel? Could the Dead Old Man connect with the 21st century?
"Owner, were you like this before?"
"Who are you calling an owner? Help me contact the Dead Old Man!" Xiaofang shook its head. "It's not that I don't want to help you; the Dead Old Man has entered a new star system. He can only establish a Good information network once he settles down." That made what she thought even more plausible.
Yezhi sent Xiaofang off to sleep. "Why can't I watch? Why can't I stay here with you?"
"You little child shouldn't be watching those romantic dramas!"
"The book says 'love' is the most beautiful thing in the world; why can't I share something beautiful?" Yezhi felt frustrated: How could Xiaofang also be at that awkward age full of questions?
With Xiaofang around, she couldn't watch TV in peace. After two episodes, she logged off and went to sleep, dreaming of her husband.
In the morning, Niu Niu leaned against her head while Black Treasure stared with happy black eyes, grinning foolishly. "Mama Bear" had been very affectionate last night, hugging its neck and even biting its bear nose twice. This mark of happiness decided it would not wash its face for a week in remembrance.
"You brat, how could you think that!" Can’t it really be? Black Treasure lifted its head, looking pitifully at her. "You’re covered in dirt like a lump of coal and still don’t care about being clean. Tonight, you and your little goose brother will sleep in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Black Treasure jumped up. "My ancestor, you'll ruin the bed!" Niu Niu happily yawned, "Fool, go outside. The master belongs to just one person now, how nice!"
Opening the door, the yard was quiet again. She was the last one to get up in the house. Oat Milk and Pickled Corncake were left on the Stove, always warm no matter what time she woke up.
She summoned Xiao Fang and talked about finding Limestone. Xiao Fang checked the recorded data of Earth. "If the master finds Stone Forest and the caves, she can find limestone."
She believed that the continuous Changbai Mountain Range had both Stone Forest and caves, but it was unlikely to explore them all in one day. It seemed she would have to use visiting her husband as an excuse to go into the mountains for a few days.
Once she made up her mind, things became easier. Aunt Zhou was eager for her to go to Province, actively helping her pack. Wolf Child whispered something to Madwoman, and both came to sleep with her that night. Black Treasure lay on the edge of the bed, sighing for an hour before being dragged out by Aunt Zhou.
"Ye, I want to go!" Wolf Child said she wanted to go to Province. Yezhi found it particularly strange. "Why?"
"Madwoman is watching her son!" Yezhi looked at Madwoman, who had already started snoring softly. "Nonsense!"
"I'll go with you!" This time, Wolf Child was determined. She knew Ye wouldn’t take her, so she cleverly pulled in Madwoman.
"If you don’t let me go, then Madwoman and I won’t come back from the mountains!" Yezhi smacked her on the rear twice; that little girl was just trying to threaten her with all that chatter.
"Leave a way out; I won’t help you!" Seeing her goal achieved, there was a joyful sparkle in Wolf Child's bright eyes. She recently realized something: Xiao Cheng said, "Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books." Since Ye was so capable, it must be because she often went out. Big Wolf was waiting for her to achieve great things; she needed to become capable quickly.
