Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Daddy Will Carry You for a Lifetime
Since his daughter had said so, whether she could pass the exam or not, he, as a father, was definitely going to praise her unconditionally.
Jiang Mianmian: …That’s not necessary.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Changhai added, “If you’re tired from studying, rest. Your health comes first, you know?”
“Yes, I know,” Jiang Mianmian nodded obediently.
After a while, she began to slow down, eventually stopping altogether and looking up at her father with a pitiful gaze, “My feet hurt.”
Jiang Changhai looked down and saw that her little feet were fine, she was just feeling lazy.
“What’s the matter, can’t walk anymore?”
Jiang Mianmian nodded honestly and stretched out her hand, “Hmm, I want a piggyback ride from dad.”
Jiang Changhai squatted down, teasing, “Dad walked so much today that he is all sweaty and stinky. Mianmian doesn’t mind that dad smells, does she?”
Jiang Mianmian immediately jumped on, “I don’t mind!”
Her dad’s back was really wide and strong!
“Good if you don’t mind.” Jiang Changhai grinned as he held the basket in his hand and easily hoisted up his little daughter.
Jiang Mianmian buried her face in her dad’s back, cooing sweetly, “Dad is the best to me, I want dad to carry me all my life.”
“Alright, alright, Daddy will carry you all your life,” Jiang Changhai chuckled, “But don’t let your mom hear this, or she might get jealous.”
Jiang Mianmian stuck out her tongue, “I’ll only tell dad secretly.”
The father and daughter chatted and laughed their way to the entrance of the village when a huge rat zipped by in front of them and disappeared into the bushes.
Jiang Changhai clicked his tongue, lamenting, “That rat was really big, it must have stolen a lot of food!”
If he didn’t have his daughter on his back at that moment, he would definitely have caught that fat rat to eat.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian quickly had the Scholar Tyrant System turn on the detector.
Scanning over, they saw the rat dive into an underground heap of bright golden light.
She immediately became excited, it had to be food! @@novelbin@@
Such a large chunk of gold color, how much food there must be!
This was a real fortune!
So she extended her finger towards the rat hole, excitedly saying, “Dad, I saw that rat dive into the hole. Rats like to hide food, there must be something inside!”
Jiang Changhai followed his daughter’s pointing finger and scrutinized it three or four times before discovering the extremely hidden rat hole, suddenly delighted, “Wow, it’s really well hidden!”
Having said that, he set his daughter down and began to dig out the rat hole with the tools he brought to the mountain today.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mianmian consciously ran to the road intersection to keep a lookout since the villagers were still working in the fields, with hardly anyone passing by.
About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Changhai exclaimed in joy, holding a bunch of corn kernels and peanuts and grinning from ear to ear, “There’s food, there really is food!”
This was really getting a lot of food effortlessly, just like picking it up for free!
Jiang Mianmian also broke into a big smile, with all this food, she could exchange it for many, many meat buns!
When they had calmed down a little, Jiang Changhai covered the rat hole back up with soil, “Let’s go back first, we’ll dig out the food in the evening.”
“Mhm.” Jiang Mianmian nodded, knowing that if the villagers saw them, they’d have to share it.
Finally, Jiang Changhai carefully covered the hole with some dry branches and stones, so that even with a close look, nothing unusual could be discerned.
Feeling refreshed, they returned home where the old lady, along with the second daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, were busy in the kitchen. The father and daughter first sneaked into their own house.
What do you think?
