The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Xiao Ran also touched the little princess's belly, which was indeed bulging.

"It seems our Sizi is sincere."

The little princess giggled.

"Yes~ I'm solid~"

Although the little princess didn't know what Xiao Ran meant by "solid," she felt it was a compliment and happily agreed.

"Little Nangjun~ I want to see Yangyang~"

"it is good."

Xiao Ran turned on the TV and watched cartoons with the three little princesses.

At first, you could hear the three little princesses talking from time to time, but the sound soon disappeared.

Xiao Ran turned his head and found that the little princess had fallen asleep on the sofa. The Chengyang little princess and the Gaoyang little princess were also rubbing their eyes and looking sleepy.

They were already used to taking afternoon naps, and since it was past their usual nap time, it was normal for them to feel sleepy.

Xiao Ran carried the little princess upstairs, and naturally, he took the Chengyang little princess and the Gaoyang little princess, Xiao Ruoying, with him.

Sensing movement, the little princess groggily opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ran.

"Little Bag~"

The little princess's voice was sticky and soft.

Xiao Ran said in a low voice, "Go to sleep, we'll go back to our room now."

The little princess fell asleep on Xiao Ran's shoulder, her chubby face all squished up.

Once upstairs, Xiao Ran put the little princess on the bed. The little princess turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.

Xiao Ran covered the little princess with a blanket, and then lay down next to her.

Listening to the sound of rain outside, Xiao Ran quickly fell asleep.

When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, the rain outside was pouring down even harder. It was only afternoon, but it felt like night outside.

However, sleeping in this kind of weather is indeed very comfortable.

Xiao Ran stretched and yawned; he had a very comfortable sleep.

After checking the time, Xiao Ran picked up the little princess.

"Sizi, get up."

When the little princess heard Xiao Ran's voice, she frowned and covered Xiao Ran's mouth with her little hand.

"Ugh~ So sleepy~"

The little princess closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep again.

Xiao Ran dodged the little princess's hand.

"Get up, Sizi, if you sleep any longer you won't be able to sleep tonight."

The little princess covered her ears with her hands, trying to block out Xiao Ran's voice.

Helpless, Xiao Ran could only resort to his ultimate move: "Sizi, if you don't get up soon, there won't be any good food left."

"Okay, that's great!"

The little princess opened her eyes groggily.

"Little Nang-kun~ There's so much good food in this spicy dish~"

Xiao Ran smiled.

"You, you only care about food."

The little princess rubbed her eyes and rubbed her head against Xiao Ran to clear her head a bit.

"Little Nang-kun~ How are you all doing, duck~"

Xiao Ran released the little princess, letting her sit by herself.

"What does Sizi want to eat?"

The little princess pondered the things she had eaten, thinking for a long time until she almost drooled.

"Slurp~ I'm thinking of seven ducks~"

Xiao Ran pinched the little princess's cheek, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we eat rice cakes?"

He suddenly remembered that there were still rice cakes he had bought in the refrigerator.

"Okay~ Seven-year cake~"

The little princess is now fully awake and struggled to get out of bed.

"Little Nang-kun~ Let's go, everyone~"

"Okay, here we come."

Xiao Ran got out of bed, and when the little princess saw him come down, she took the lead and walked downstairs.

Xiao Ran followed the little princess downstairs. Downstairs, the little princesses Chengyang and Gaoyang were sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks. They had gotten up earlier, so Xiao Ruoying brought them down.

"Sizi!"

Princess Gaoyang saw the little princess and quickly came over.

"Let's go play with building blocks." Princess Gaoyang took the little princess's hand and walked towards Princess Chengyang.

The little princess hesitated.

"I've been wanting to eat this for seven years~"

"Rice cake?" Princess Gaoyang looked at Xiao Ran upon hearing this.

Xiao Ran smiled and patted the little princess's head.

"Sizi, go play with Fanyin and Shiqi. The rice cakes aren't ready yet."

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, the little princess then followed Princess Gao Yang to play with building blocks.

They were originally playing with jigsaw puzzles, but the puzzles Xiao Ran bought were too big. Even adults would have a hard time completing them, let alone children. In addition, some of the puzzles were just too far-fetched.

So after working on the puzzle for a while, the three little princesses lost interest in it and went to play with building blocks instead.

Xiao Ran entered the kitchen, and Yu Shu and Xiangcao quickly came over.

"What does the young master want to do? Let us help."

Xiao Ran shook his head, "No need, I'm just frying a few rice cakes, you guys go ahead and do your work."

Seeing that Xiao Ran insisted, Yu Shu and Xiang Cao exchanged a glance and then left the kitchen.

Xiao Ran took out the rice cakes and then turned on the fire.

This type of rice cake is not long and thin, but round.

Seeing that the pot was hot, Xiao Ran put a few pieces of rice cake in it. Soon, the rice cake puffed up, and then he flipped it over.

Normally, you would tear the rice cake open and stuff it with various toppings and side dishes. However, it's also delicious to eat it plain after frying, as the rice cake itself is sweet.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran looked at the ham next to him and cut off a few slices.

This ham tastes really good, and Xiao Ran himself likes it very much.

Soon, the rice cakes were cooked. Xiao Ran took out chopsticks, put the rice cakes on a plate, and then put the ham in.

Although the little princess was playing with building blocks with the Chengyang and Gaoyang princesses, her attention was actually often drawn to the kitchen, waiting for Xiao Ran's rice cakes, and sometimes she would even swallow her saliva.

Finally, Xiao Ran came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

“Sizi Fanyin Seventeen, come eat rice cake.”

The little princess immediately put down the building blocks she was holding and ran towards Xiao Ran, grabbing his leg in one go.

"Little Nang-kun~ Seven-Year Cake~"

Xiao Ran dragged the little princess toward the sofa and placed the plate on the coffee table.

"Okay, let's eat rice cakes."

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang also came over.

Xiao Ran picked up a rice cake.

The rice cake was a little hot, so Xiao Ran blew on it, tore off a small piece, blew on it again, and then handed it to the little princess.

"Eat it and see if you like it."

The little princess took the rice cake from Xiao Ran's hand and put it in her mouth.

The rice cakes are chewy and sweet.

Xiao Ran also gave a piece to Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gaoyang chewed it.

"Brother, this rice cake is so delicious, it's so sweet."

Xiao Ran tore off another piece for Princess Gaoyang.

"Eat more if you like, there's more."

Princess Gaoyang nodded and accepted the rice cake.

Princess Chengyang also loves rice cakes very much. As for the princess, she is currently struggling with rice cakes with her tiny teeth.

"Ruoying, go and call Changle and Weiyang to come and eat rice cakes too."

Xiao Ran said to Xiao Ruoying, who was sitting in front of the computer.

Xiao Ruoying nodded, shut down the computer, and went upstairs to call for help. Soon, the three of them came downstairs.

Xiao Ruoying picked up a piece of rice cake and took a bite.

"This rice cake is delicious, bro, where did you buy it?"

Xiao Ran also took a piece to eat.

“I remember someone pushing one of those carts passed by before, and I went to buy some. He said it was handmade rice cake.”

Xiao Ruoying took another bite.

"It's possible; it's different from the rice cakes you buy in supermarkets."

At this point, Xiao Ruoying suddenly said, "How about we have army stew for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Ruoying and complained, "Did you catch the rhinoceros horn? All you think about is eating."

Xiao Ruoying made a face at Xiao Ran and ignored him, then turned to the little princess sitting on the sofa eating rice cakes, "Sizi, how about we have army stew for dinner tonight?"

Although the little princess didn't know what army stew was, she knew about hot pot, and she really liked it.

"Okay~ Seven Hot Pot~"

Xiao Ruoying deliberately said, "But what if your young master won't let us eat?"

Xiao Ran felt like Dou E right now.

"No, how can you lie through your teeth? When did I say you couldn't?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ruoying's words, the little princess turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran with her big eyes.

"Little Nangjun~ Seven Hot Pot Duck~"

Even if Xiao Ran had never intended to refute it before, now that he's looking at the little princess, he doesn't seem to care anymore.

"Okay, okay, let's eat hot pot."

The little princess happily hugged Xiao Ran.

"Little Nangjun is the spiciest~"

Xiao Ran chuckled; he could never get through to the little princess.

Xiao Ruoying leaned closer, pouting, and said, "Isn't it good that only the young master is good, and not me?"

The little princess turned around and hugged Xiao Ruoying again.

Hello to you too~

Xiao Ruoying's eyes darted around, and she deliberately asked, "So, between me and the young master, who do you like?"

The little princess didn't hesitate at all.

"Little Rice Porridge Pouch~"

Xiao Ruoying clutched her chest, feeling only regret amidst Xiao Ran's mocking laughter, wondering why she had brought this humiliation upon herself!

Li Lizhi covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

Xiao Ruoying sighed, "Sigh, I knew it."

The little princess looked at Xiao Ruoying, who looked sad, and then at Xiao Ran, who was laughing heartily. After thinking for a moment, she took out a rice cake from the plate.

After a while, the rice cake wasn't so hot anymore, so it didn't burn the little princess.

The little princess picked up a rice cake and handed it to Xiao Ruoying.

"Seven Ducks~"

Xiao Ruoying took the rice cake, and said with a wry smile, "Is this supposed to be my consolation?"

Xiao Ran glanced at Xiao Ruoying.

"Hurry up and eat yours."

Xiao Ruoying rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran and stuffed the rice cake into her mouth.

Rice cakes are hard to digest, so Xiao Ran didn't give them any more after the three little princesses finished eating what they had.

"How about we eat the rest tonight?" Xiao Ran coaxed the little princess.

The little princess stared longingly at the plate of rice cakes.

"But I don't have any ducks to eat~"

The little princess touched her tummy; she wasn't full yet.

Xiao Ran coaxed, "We're going to have dinner tonight. If we eat our fill now, we won't be able to eat anything tonight. You forgot? We're going to have army stew tonight."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran mention "army stew," the little princess swallowed hard.

"Okay~ It'll be 7 PM tonight~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Sizi is so well-behaved."

Knowing that Xiao Ran was praising her, the little princess covered her mouth and laughed.

"Little Nangjun~ I still want to see Yangyang~"

"it is good."

Xiao Ran turned on the TV and let the three little princesses watch cartoons.

After Li Lizhi finished eating the rice cake, she planned to give the rest to Li Chengqian to try.

"Young master, I'm going to find my brother. Would you like to come with me?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and since the supermarket should be restocking anyway, he nodded and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi entered the Lizheng Hall and found that it was raining there too, and quite heavily.

"Brother."

Li Lizhi called out to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian raised his head.

He naturally noticed that someone was coming, but he thought it was Xiao Ran. He didn't expect that Li Lizhi would also come.

"Sister."

Li Chengqian put down his pen.

Although Li Chengqian still uses a calligraphy brush, he uses a ballpoint pen more often when working. After all, ballpoint pens don't require grinding ink all the time. Even if he does need to grind ink, it still takes time and effort.

In comparison, ballpoint pens are still more convenient.

"Why are you here? Is this something delicious?" Li Chengqian asked, looking at the plate in Li Lizhi's hand.

Li Lizhi placed the plate on the desk beside her.

"Brother, come and try this. It's rice cake, and I think it tastes pretty good."

Li Chengqian walked over, picked one up, and put it in his mouth.

"It's really good, chewy, and has a hint of sweetness."

After finishing a rice cake, Li Chengqian asked, "You all came here just to bring me this rice cake?"

Xiao Ran sat down to the side and said, "I originally thought I would come over to see if there was anything I needed at the supermarket, but I didn't expect it to rain here too."

Li Chengqian asked, "Is it raining where you are too?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "It rained, and it rained heavily."

Looking at the rain outside, Li Chengqian sighed.

"Hopefully this rain won't last too long."

It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, but too much of it is a disaster.

Seeing the worry on Li Chengqian's brow, Li Li asked, "Has something happened?"

Li Chengqian sighed, "We're at peace for now, but I'm afraid there might be places where the dikes will break."

"The dam has burst?" Xiao Ran was taken aback.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"If the rain is heavy and the water level rises, it will breach the dikes. Not only will the crops be washed away, but the people will also be unable to escape."

Li Chengqian was troubled by the thought of this matter, but although the rain was heavy, it had only been raining for most of the day, so it was fine as long as it didn't rain continuously.

But if we manage to avoid it this time, what will we do next time?

Thinking about it this way, Li Chengqian wanted to sigh again.

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't I say? We can use cement."

“Cement?” Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran nodded. "That's right, cement is so hard, there's no need to worry about it being washed away by water."

Li Chengqian paused for a moment, then frowned.

"But how do you dry cement in water?"

Xiao Ran scratched his head, realizing that this was something he couldn't explain in a short time. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back and find some relevant videos first, and I'll bring them to you later. We don't need to pave the entire riverbed with cement."

With hope of resolving this major threat now at play, Li Chengqian was more excited than anyone else.

"Alright, alright. Oh, right, young master, don't forget to tell your grandfather."

Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay."

After speaking, Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi, "Chang Le, would you like to go back together?" (End of this chapter)
