After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Seeing his younger brother's guilty look, Yin Mo suddenly began to reflect on whether he had been too strict with him.

"Alright, alright, now that you're back, have some fun for a few days. Nothing serious is going to happen anyway." Yin Mo conceded. "Go find Niannian; she's in the small kitchen."

"Okay." Yin Cheng had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. "By the way, brother, there's something I need to tell you."

Yin Mo asked, "What?"

"Tian Hai asked me to take a group of people to Ningzhou in half a month."

"Next time, tell me about something this important earlier," he muttered to himself. "Strange, what's Tian Hai doing in Ningzhou? Could he be trying to get in touch with the Southwest Army?"

"Speaking of the Southwest Army, there's something else I need to tell you."

Yin Mo: "..."

Yin Mo: "Put the pearl down first, and think carefully about whether there is anything else you need to explain."

"The Southwest Army planted someone in Tian Hai's camp named Gu Yong, but that's definitely a fake name." Yin Cheng put Pearl down for a moment, then immediately picked her up again. "That's all, that's all."

Yin Mo: "..."

They're really obedient.

Yin Mo sighed. "Are you sure it's gone?"

Yin Cheng quickly ran through his mind, then said confidently, "Yes, that's all."

"Let's go." Yin Mo waved his hand, and after his younger brother left, he tapped on the table.

Soon, a royal bodyguard appeared.

"By imperial decree, Zhao Lang is to be summoned for a secret audience."

"Yes." The guard retreated like a shadow.

Yin Cheng went straight to the small kitchen after leaving the house.

"Pearl, shh." Yin Cheng tiptoed. "Let's sneak off to see Little Daddy."

Pearl covered her mouth and nodded.

Lin Nian was unaware that the father and son had quietly approached; he was drizzling honey over the freshly steamed rice cakes.

"Dried osmanthus flowers..." Lin Nian muttered to herself, "They seem to be in the top cabinet..."

Yin Cheng watched silently as his wife brought over a stool, stepped on it, and took out the jar containing dried osmanthus flowers.

Pearl was still trying to smell the aroma of the cake when her father suddenly put her on the vegetable counter.

He sat blankly next to a basket of fresh vegetables, and casually grabbed a white radish and started crunching on it.

His mouth was small, and he held the white radish in both hands and tried to bite it for a long time, but the white radish only suffered superficial injuries.

Lin Nian, who was standing on the stool, suddenly felt a force behind him lift him off the stool.

He gasped and instinctively tried to struggle, but when he turned his head, he saw Pearl gnawing on a radish on the counter.

Lin Nian: "..." How can this little dummy eat everything!

Lin Nian was half-turned around by the man, and was carried in a princess-like embrace. He said coquettishly, "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"

Yin Cheng put his wife down and said, "I missed you."

Lin Nian smiled, about to exchange a few sweet words with the man, when she suddenly remembered her son sitting by the kitchen counter.

He rushed over in a few strides, shouting, "No eating raw radishes! Spit them out!"

Pearl chewed and chewed, her mouth bulging, and said indistinctly, "Little Daddy..."

Lin Nian ruthlessly deprived Pearl of her right to eat the radish. He snatched the radish from Pearl's hand and said, "If you eat it randomly again, Daddy will spank your hand."

Pearl pouted and pitifully begged her father for help.

Upon receiving his son's plea for help, Yin Cheng rubbed his nose and said, "Niannian, it's just a radish. If Pearl wants to gnaw on it, let him..."

Lin Nian glared at the man, her brows furrowed. "So you came back just to play the good guy in front of our son, is that it?"

Yin Cheng: "..." dared not speak.

There's nothing I can do to help, son.

Dad is so sorry!

Seeing that her father was unreliable, Pearl had no choice but to obediently spit out the shredded radish from her mouth.

After Lin Nian helped Pearl clean up, she took a piece of cooled rice cake and put it in Pearl's hand, saying, "Eat it."

Pearl smelled the sweet aroma of rice cake and immediately forgot about the juicy radish, happily munching on the rice cake.

"Nian Nian".

Lin Nian said gruffly, "What are you doing!"

Yin Cheng took his wife's hand and said, "I'm not questioning your parenting style, it's just... our Pearl is still young, it's normal for her to grind her teeth."

"I had someone make some Sichuan pepper wood a few days ago, enough for him to grind his teeth," Lin Nian said. "He's just a young guy, he can't just eat whatever he can get his hands on."

Yin Cheng said, "...No way, is our son really that dull?"

Lin Nian took a bitter melon from the vegetable basket and replaced the rice cake in Pearl's hand.

Pearl paused for a moment, then, without thinking twice, opened her mouth and bit down.

The next moment, the pearl emitted a sharp crack.

"Waaaaah..."

Lin Nian then replaced the bitter melon with rice cake.

He held Pearl's hand and fed her rice cake.

Pearl was pretending to cry when her mouth was stuffed with sweet rice cake. She stopped pretending and happily started munching on the rice cake again.

He looked at the man with a helpless expression. "See? Our son is really dull."

Yin Cheng pursed his lips, and after a long while, he took out a dagger from his waist and handed the scabbard to Pearl's lips.

"I don't believe Pearl will... gnaw on anything..." Before he could finish speaking, Pearl bit the scabbard, found it was hard, spat it out, and continued eating rice cake.

Lin Nian sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with Pearl lately. She likes to put everything she sees into her mouth. Food is fine, but she puts toys in her mouth to chew on too. I don't know how such a small child can get hungry so easily."

Yin Cheng frowned, his expression somewhat serious. "Are our pearls lacking any trace elements?"

Lin Nian asked in confusion, "What are trace elements?"

Yin Cheng picked up Pearl with one hand and held his wife's hand with the other, "Let's go see my brother-in-law."

Lin Nian said, "My brother-in-law often takes Pearl's pulse, and her pulse is always fine."

Yin Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. The question of what nutrients the human body was lacking could not be accurately determined even in his world, and doctors in this world might not be able to diagnose the problem by taking a pulse.

"A deficiency in trace elements such as iron, zinc, and calcium can lead to pica in children... I used to be so stupid for looking at stock charts. If I had known that, watching two gigabytes of parenting videos would have been much more useful."

Lin Nian didn't understand. He asked, "What is pica? Pica... is it eating all sorts of weird and wonderful things?"

"Yes, that's why I suspect our baby is deficient in trace elements." Yin Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Does Pearl usually drink milk?"

Lin Nian nodded. "I'll make him a bowl of milk tonight."

"Then it shouldn't be a calcium deficiency... Could it be a zinc deficiency...?" Yin Cheng pondered, then pulled Lin Nian to the study.

I revised and wrote down some recipes, "Nian Nian, then have Xiao Jiu'er buy them according to these recipes."

Lin Nian leaned closer to take a look and saw that they were all combinations she had never seen before.

"What are these apple puree and yam puree?" Lin Nian asked, puzzled.

"It's a very finely ground state," Yin Cheng suddenly thought. "Our son has grown teeth, and it seems like he can chew on them by himself."

He silently blacked out the character "泥" (mud), and made many revisions, "This should be fine now."

Lin Nian pointed to an abstract character and asked, "What's this 'pig'?"

"Pig liver." Yin Cheng coughed awkwardly. "Wife, you have to allow me to have flaws."

My ugly handwriting is my biggest flaw in this life.
