Chapter 287: People want face, trees want skin
Mu Baobao finally agreed, and when they got to the town, Zheng Xingguang treated everyone to hotpot.
It was because Zheng Xingguang said that he wanted to reward everyone so that everyone could travel better.
Mu Baobao doesn't know how to reward others, but he knows that he needs to eat well so that he can travel better.
"Baby, I'm surprised you agreed." Cheng Zishi joked, "I thought you wouldn't agree with Zheng Shizi doing this."
Mu Baobao said with a smile, "Uncle, you have to eat well."
"My grandma said that if you don't have enough energy in your stomach, you won't have the energy to do anything."
Zhu, “…”
This is how she taught her baby, but she didn't use it on these things.
Cheng Zishi didn't know whether to laugh or remain speechless. He gently patted Mu Baobao's belly and said, "Your belly is full of oil."
Mubaobao tried hard to shrink his small belly, puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "Uncle, you are talking nonsense."
"How could my little belly be filled with grease? If that were the case, I wouldn't be craving meat."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of good-natured laughter all around.
Cheng Zishi laughed, "Baby, you are so greedy for meat."
Mu Baobao said seriously, "Uncle, everyone is greedy for meat."
“The meat is so delicious.”
Cheng Zishi did not say that some people do not like to eat meat. For ordinary people, meat is indeed a very good thing.
But for wealthy families and large clans, meat is not a very good thing.
"Baby, you've been riding in a carriage for the whole morning. Are you used to it?"
Mu Baobao hummed, "Very good."
"It's just that my grandma and the others aren't used to it. It might be because it's their first time riding in a carriage."
Cheng Zishi could understand, "Baby, it will take us at least a month to get to Rongdu, and during this time, we will be riding in a carriage."
Mu Baobao's concept of time is like today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. "Uncle, how long is a month?"
Cheng Zishi thought about how to explain it, "It's just a lot of days after tomorrow."
Baby Mu exclaimed in surprise, "So long?"
"We've been in the carriage for so long, what are we going to do about sleeping and going to the toilet?"
Cheng Zishi said, "We will find a town to stay in and stay in an inn."
"If you want to go to the toilet, you can only find a patch of grass in the wild."
It’s like this outside, there aren’t so many rules.
Mu Baobao suddenly looked at him several times.
This look gave Cheng Zishi a bad feeling.
Sure enough, his bad premonition was confirmed the next second.
"Uncle, are you looking for some grass outside or are you peeing while standing?" Mu Baobao asked innocently.
Cheng Zishi only felt that his eyes were getting darker and darker, "...Baby, a little girl shouldn't ask such questions."
Mubaobao didn't understand, "Why?"
"Could it be that, uncle, you guys are standing outside... wuwuwu!"
Mrs. Zhu was quick to cover her granddaughter's mouth.
She smiled awkwardly and apologetically at Cheng Zishi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng. I don't have any bad intentions, I just have too many questions."
She really didn't expect that the baby would ask such a question.
The corners of Cheng Zishi's mouth twitched, "It's okay."
Before he could finish his words, he had already slipped away.
If you stay any longer, you don’t know what terrible questions the baby will ask.
The people around him tried to hold back their laughter, and some even laughed directly at Cheng Zishi.
Cheng Zishi snorted twice, "If you have the ability, go and answer this question of the baby."
This time, no man could laugh.
It’s not that they don’t have the courage, but they can’t ask such questions to a little girl who is just over one year old.
It's so embarrassing.
Zhu dragged Mu Baobao to the side and whispered, "Baby, you can't ask a man such questions in public."
Mubaobao didn't understand, "Why?"
"Didn't grandma tell me that I could ask questions if I had any?"
Zhu took the opportunity to teach, "Baby, there are differences between men and women."
Mu Baobao blinked his bright eyes and said, "Grandma, what's the difference between men and women?"
“Are there any differences between men and women?”
“It’s that they look different.”
Zhu said, "Men and women cannot get too close to each other, and they cannot interact too frequently. They must keep a certain distance."
A question mark slowly appeared on Mu Baobao's little head. "But, my brother and I don't have it, and neither do my dad and the others."
Zhu touched her head and said, "The baby is still young."
"Girls and boys can only sit at the same table after they turn seven."
When Mubaobao heard this, a smile appeared on his face. "That has nothing to do with me. I'm only two years old."
After saying that, she skipped off to find her little brother.
Mrs. Zhu was silent and silent again. Perhaps she should have taught her baby about the differences between boys and girls earlier.
"Mom, there's no need to rush this kind of thing." Qian comforted her, "Besides, the baby is still young, we can just guide him slowly."
Liu and Wang also tried to persuade him.
"Yes, mother, the baby is only two years old and doesn't understand the difference between boys and girls. Even if she did something bad, no one would blame her."
"Let's teach her slowly. When the baby is older, she will understand the difference between boys and girls."
Zhu sighed, "I'm not worried that after we get to Rongdu, someone will make a fuss about what happened to the baby."
"There's nothing wrong with our family, but we followed Prince Zheng and his family to Rongdu."
It's not that she knows nothing.
Those wealthy families are high and mighty and can take anyone's life they want.
The three Qians looked at each other, all unable to conceal their worries. Mother's worries were right.
"Oh," Mu Lao San comforted, "Mom, don't think so much."
"As long as the baby doesn't do anything wrong, Prince Zheng, Mr. Cheng, and Doctor Deng will definitely protect us."
"Besides, those wealthy families are too arrogant to bother with us."
Zhu gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You are just too careless."
Mu Laosan shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.
It's not that he is careless, but that he doesn't let his imagination run wild.
To be honest, there is no point in thinking so much. It is better to make your life easier.
……
After the Mu family left the village, one or two families began to set their sights on their house, ox cart and land.
There was a bold and shameless person who went to the village chief with a dozen eggs.
"Village chief, I want to rent the Mu family's land and ox cart. Do you think it's feasible?"
The village chief knocked on it with his pipe, his face sullen. "Do you want to rent it, or do you want to take it for yourself by renting it?"
The villagers laughed and said, "Look at what the village chief said. I am definitely renting it. How could I take it for myself?"
The village chief asked, "Why didn't you ask when the Mu family was in the village?"
The villagers didn't feel embarrassed at all, "It's because the Mu family didn't agree."
Suddenly, the village chief hit him hard on the head with his pipe and cursed, "Do you think I don't know your dirty thoughts?"
"You think that since the Mu family is temporarily away, you can take their things for yourself under the pretext of renting them."
