The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Chapter 272 The Moon is Fuller on the Sixteenth than the Fifteenth
On the same day, in the evening.

With Tie Dumbbell in charge of driving, the RV entered the capital city of Henan Province and headed straight for the parking lot of the target hotel.

The 12-hour drive was suffocating, not only for the fans but also for Huang Musong himself.

The RV's ventilation system is quite good; it's not that I feel physically suffocated, but rather that I feel mentally oppressed.

The area is only so big.

It needs to accommodate four people and three doro at the same time.

The average amount of space available is really small.

While the small animal-like creatures like Dorothy, Donas, and Dorothy are still able to move around, Huang Musong, being human, can only lie in bed all day.

Upon arriving at their new destination, Huang Musong was the first to get off the bus, took a deep breath, and stretched comfortably.

Joints that have been inactive for a long time feel as refreshed as parched land receiving sweet rain...

Donas, lively and energetic, quickly jumped out of the cabin and ran around the RV with joy.

"people!"

What should we have for dinner?

"I want something oily today."

As she ran, Donas asked, panting, her tongue inadvertently spitting out saliva.

I've been starving since noon.

Donas had been wanting to eat for a long time.

But there were only snacks in the car, which weren't enough to keep it full, and it was getting too hungry.

Of course, it wasn't that Huang Musong was unwilling to spend money on food, but rather that he didn't encounter any suitable places to buy food along the highway.

As mealtimes approach, the service area becomes overcrowded, and once you miss the mealtime, there's no food left to sell.

In order to arrive at our destination city on time tonight
Huang Musong had no choice but to go hungry with the doro, going nearly 12 hours without a proper meal.

Doraemon is good at enduring hunger, and since he has been eating a lot of nutrition recently, he feels much more relaxed after skipping a meal.

Jump out of the RV and come to the person's side
Doro obediently took the person's hand.

Just as it was about to say something, it was suddenly attracted by the moon hanging obliquely in the sky and let out a surprised shout of "Wow!"

"People~"

"Look!"

Shaking the person's arm with a bit of force, Doro raised its other paw and pointed to the sky: "The moon is so round and bright today..."

Doraemon doesn't understand when the moon will become full or waning.

It only believes that the full moon is hard-won.

Suitable for making a wish.

After saying that, Doro released Huang Musong's hand, closed its eyes tightly, and clasped its two paws together devoutly.

Muttering to himself,

Keep your voice down so that only you can hear it.
Doro hopes that every moment in the future will be as joyful as it is now.

Mikasa, Arwen, and Su Qingyao were the next to get off the train.

Dorothy followed behind them, being the second to last to exit the car, while the last was Metagross, made up of nine iron dumbbells.

When walking and looking at her phone, Dorothy would only glance at the screen a few times before immediately turning it off and reciting poems.

"I want to ride the wind and return, but I fear... what was it again?"

"Hmm~"

"It's so hard to memorize, I can't finish it tonight! Oh no."

With a soft sigh, Dorothy pouted and scratched her head in distress.

After enjoying a ride around the RV, Donas overheard her companion sighing and wagged her tail curiously as she went over to investigate.

Donas pressed her face close to Dorothy's and asked, "What are you chanting? Tell me quickly, what do you want to eat? Let's figure it out quickly. I want fried noodles, what do you think? Do you want to eat noodles? Give me an answer!"

"Don't bother me! I'll eat anything, just be quiet, I'm reciting poetry." Dorothy frowned, gently pushing her companion away to maintain a normal distance.

Donas knew that Dorothy loved to read.
But is it necessary to be a bookworm?
Bored on the train, reciting poems can kill time; now that we've gotten off, why bother reciting poetry?

Donas couldn't understand it.

"I'm going to bother you anyway~"

Donas pounces on her companion again, pinning Dorothy down and declaring victory on top of her.

Besides chasing and running, the entertainment of the Doro clan also includes roughhousing.
Pounce on each other – this is a game that Doro naturally loves to play.

With her companion pinned beneath her, Dorothy's playful nature was aroused, and she rolled over with all her might.

Dorothy was still slightly larger than Donas.
Without relying on skill, Dorothy's strength was almost equal to Donas's, and she successfully turned the tide with a slight advantage in physique.

Instead of getting angry when she went from being the one who dominated her opponent to being dominated herself, Donas happily enjoyed the game.

But just as it was preparing to retaliate against Dorothy...
In the eastern sky, a full moon came into view, attracting Donas's attention.

"What a round moon!"

"And it's even brighter than when it turned rounder before!"

After pulling herself away from Dorothy's belly, Donas walked to Dorothy's side and looked up at the moon with her.

After listening to Donas's words, Dorothy also noticed that the moon was indeed very bright today, unlike usual.

Why?

It seems the moon gets fuller every month.
The full moon is so bright tonight!

Dorothy stopped reciting and joined the moon-gazing group, standing on the other side of Dorothy and looking up at the night sky. While the little ones enjoyed the moon, Huang Musong searched for nearby shopping malls and restaurants, planning to go shopping first and then have dinner.

The most famous department store in Henan Province is Pang Donglai.

Huang Musong often sees related information while browsing videos.

Pang Donglai products are not only affordable, but also of top quality.

When buying food for the Doro, we must prioritize health.

When Huang Musong first adopted Doraemon, he himself couldn't even get enough to eat.

People who are poor are focused on making ends meet and have no right to be picky.

Now that I've made money, how can I let Doraemon eat cheap food anymore?

Apart from Donas (which has the ability to resist all poisons), Huang Musong will never buy anything containing preservatives for the Doro people again.

"What are the little ones looking at?"

"Come on, let's go eat. You must be hungry."

Turning on the walking navigation, Huang Musong gently stroked the heads of Doraemon, Dorothy, and Donas one by one, and looked in the direction they were gazing.

The three little ones are admiring the moon.

The moon is indeed quite round and bright tonight!

Today is October 5th in the Gregorian calendar, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the lunar calendar.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival, time to eat mooncakes, and Donas just happened to be craving something oily.

Mooncakes would be perfect!

Huang Musong gently kicked Donas's bottom to bring it back to its senses and laughed, "Standing there like an idiot, are you not hungry again? Quick, let's go buy mooncakes before the supermarket closes."

"Mooncake? What is that? A cake made from the moon?" Donas had never heard of mooncakes before. She was both puzzled and excited, eager to try this new delicacy.

Dorothy didn't understand why the moon was so round tonight.

It at least understands what a mooncake is.

With her head held high in a smug expression, Dorothy explained, "Mooncakes are baked cakes with various nut fillings! You idiot~"

"You call me stupid? Can you even afford mooncakes? You've never even eaten one..." Donas retorted with a playful face to her companion.

When it comes to money,
Dorothy is really short of money lately.

I spent almost all my pocket money buying sunscreen for Sister Su two weeks ago.

Recently, I've become obsessed with several novels and have spent some money supporting the official releases.

Dorothy's WeChat balance is less than 20 yuan.

Twenty yuan, it seems...

At least you can buy one mooncake, right?

"Hey, what kind of mooncakes cost less than twenty yuan?" Dorothy asked as she followed Huang Musong.

Upon hearing this, Huang Musong shook his head, indicating that there was almost none.

High-quality, healthy mooncakes are expensive to make; the ingredients for a palm-sized mooncake can easily cost at least 10 yuan each. Add to that labor, utilities, value-added tax…

A mooncake that costs 10 yuan to make needs to be sold for 30 yuan to guarantee that it won't lose money.

Equivalent to a conventional 45% profit margin,

A clean and healthy mooncake should cost more than 50 yuan.

Products priced below 50 yuan invariably contain preservatives; the amount of preservatives used in high-tech and premium products is inevitably high.

Worried that the higher-than-expected price would disappoint Dorothy, Huang Musong told a white lie, saying, "The moon is rounder on the 16th than the 15th, and the mooncakes are also 16 yuan."

"Sixteen dollars? That's great! I can buy one with my balance." Dorothy's eyes lit up with excitement.

Doro is slow-witted and has rather peculiar interests.

He grunted twice.

Doro blinked his big, inquisitive eyes and asked curiously, "Why is the moon fuller on the sixteenth than the fifteenth? I understand that 'fifteenth' and 'sixteenth' refer to the date, right? Since the moon is fuller the day after tomorrow, why not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow?"

Huang Musong was taken aback.

That's a great question!
I don't understand why it's called "The Moon is Fuller on the Sixteenth Day of the Month" either.

Just as he was about to give a few perfunctory replies
Su Qingyao took Duoluo's other hand and explained, "'The moon on the fifteenth' refers to the fifteenth day of each lunar month, and 'the moon on the sixteenth' actually means the moon is the roundest."

"In ancient times, one jin was equal to sixteen liang, which was a hexadecimal system."

"The same logic applies to 'half a catty, eight taels' (meaning the same thing).

"Sixteen ounces is half a catty, which is exactly eight ounces."

Do you understand?

Su Qingyao smiled and looked down at Doraemon.

Doro continued to blink, nod and shake his head, and raise the corners of his mouth to reveal a happy, simple smile.

It clearly didn't understand.

However, the fact that Sister Su was willing to explain made Duoluo very happy.

Walking down the street, Duoluo held someone's hand with one hand and Xiaosu's hand with the other.

Donas and Dorothy were embraced by Arwen and Mikasa respectively.

The family strolled leisurely towards the brightly lit shopping mall...
