Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

So the little maids have no shortage of ingredients to cook.

Furthermore, some of the maids were rehearsing for a talent show. Because there were so many maids, and with the assistance of the T-101, the daily cleaning work could be completed quickly. Therefore, they had a lot of free time, so Chen Ming showed them various talent shows from the Overworld and let them choose the ones they liked to learn... Of course, Chen Ming also had [Crimson] teach them basic knowledge like literacy, arithmetic, etiquette, etc...

The entire hillside manor is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Chen Ming stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the villa, sipping black tea and looking at the little maids bustling about in the manor like butterflies with satisfaction.

"Master, Annie's charcoal-grilled wagyu beef is 71.3% charred."

[Crimson]'s warning rang in his ears, and a holographic projection was used to play the scene of Annie cooking. Her trembling little hands were really adorable.

Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

He knew that this was Anne's first time touching smart kitchen appliances, and it was also a token of her love!

The little girl who just turned 6 has learned to use a low stool to stand by the stove to cook, but Taldo, who is 1 year and 9 months old, still can't walk - for Taldo, who has magical powers, walking is not a difficult task.

In fact, Chen Ming, who has no parenting experience, did not know that ordinary children usually learn to walk between 1 and 1 years old. Children who cannot walk after 1 years old are all spoiled by adults.

Since arriving at the Half Mountain Manor, Talduo has been eating, drinking and sleeping well. No one is urging her, so she is naturally not in a hurry to walk.

Until now, when Chen Ming saw how enthusiastic the little maids were, he remembered that it was time for Talduo to work hard to grow up!

So he turned to look at Tarduo who was crawling around on the sofa next to him.

"Talduo, let's learn to walk today!"

"Hmm~Okay!"

Talduo started learning to speak at the age of 9 months. Now she can understand what Chen Ming says and express her ideas in simple language.

Chen Ming walked over and gently picked up Talduo, helped her stand firmly on the ground, and then let go.

Alpha watched with a smile on her face, feeling very happy in her heart - she always felt that she had made her daughter suffer too much in the past, so she could never bear to encourage her daughter to grow up. Now that her master had stepped in, it just happened to solve the problem that had troubled her for a long time.

Ai Li Xi had just finished charging and was currently in a deep sleep...

"Lift your left foot first, then move your weight forward and follow with your right foot."

"Okay~"

Talduo listened to Chen Ming very much, and under his command, she wobbled and raised her chubby little feet.

It's just that her sense of balance hasn't been developed yet.

This is understandable. In the past year, Taldo was either lying down or being carried by Alpha while walking. Chen Ming and Ai Lixi would often help to carry her.

It was very difficult for Taldo, who had never tried to walk independently, to walk steadily from the start.

Chen Ming was very tolerant of this. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as she could take the first step, it would be a huge progress. He didn't ask for much.

Make a little progress every day.

"I feel dizzy~Help, help, help, help——"

Talduo suddenly cried for help, she felt dizzy.

After only two steps forward, he lost his balance.

It's over.

Taldo's little hands drew circles forward.

Try to offset the kinetic energy of the forward lunge and straighten your body.

It looked both cute and clumsy.

Chen Ming, who was watching over her, quickly hugged her.

"Woooo..."

Talduo looked at Chen Ming pitifully and with fear on her face.

It was indeed not easy for her to practice walking - because learning is a painful thing. It requires stepping out of the comfort zone, exposing one's weaknesses and trying new things. It requires courage and perseverance.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Chen Ming comforted gently.

Seeing his master caring so much for Taldo, Alpha's smile grew even brighter.

Talduo also held back her tears obediently.

"What a good boy! I'll give you a big lift as a reward..."

As Chen Ming spoke, he gently tossed Talduo up and caught her, repeating this several times before he finally coaxed her into submission.

"Hehehe~"

Taldo laughed happily.

The smile is so bright, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter.

Looking at her innocent smile, Chen Ming's heart was filled with an indescribable sense of accomplishment!

——In fact, he had already used the system identification function to check that Talduo's favorability towards him had already reached the maximum value of 100 points, and he was just waiting for her to come of age!

The waiting time was very long, a full sixteen years!

So Chen Ming estimated that the first lover with a full favorability should still be Elise...

Chapter 85: Stupid Emperor

After coaxing her, Chen Ming continued to try to teach Talduo to walk.

But unexpectedly she just lay down on the ground.

"Hehe~ Climb~ Steady!"

As he spoke, the little fellow crawled happily on the wooden floor, looking somewhat smug.

"At your age and stage, why are you still crawling on the ground? Have you shown any ambition? Stand up and walk properly!"

Chen Ming gave Taldo a lot of earnest advice, and then gave her a sweet reward by using the little maids' favorite "head-patting move" and gently stroked Taldo's fluffy golden hair.

Taldo squinted her big golden eyes happily.

Suddenly, she seemed to have come up with a good idea - Chen Ming only said that she couldn't crawl on the ground, but he didn't say that she couldn't roll on the ground!

So, Talduo lay down on the wooden floor and imitated the sound of rolling down the mountain...

“Gurgle gurgle… gurgle gurgle…”

The clever little girl suddenly discovered that rolling was safer and more reliable than walking, and she didn't have to worry about falling at all - she was simply a genius!

Talduo rolled to Chen Ming's feet and raised her head, looking complacent and proud.

Chen Ming: “…”

Is this silly kid mopping the floor?

He's already helping adults with housework at such a young age. He's really sensible... No way!

Ai Lixi, who was woken up, saw that Chen Ming was speechless, so she prepared to take over the responsibility of teaching.

She sat up and asked in a gentle and persuasive tone, "Talduo, where did you learn this rolling method?"

"Learn from cats~"

"Cat? There are no cats in the manor!"

"Just now when mom was watching the video~" Talduo said in a baby voice, "There was a cat purring in the video~"

Although it was a bit difficult, this was the first time that Taldo spoke such a long sentence, which was a cause for celebration.

Ai Lixi nodded with great satisfaction: "Yeah, then what?"

"My brother said I couldn't crawl, so I thought of the cat's purring~"

"That!" Alisi sighed, covering her face. "Not being able to crawl means you have to stand up and walk... and even cats don't walk by purring!"

"Then, Sister Elise, can you imitate the cat's walk? It's not in the video..."

"Eh? Playing cat?"

After a moment of surprise, Ai Lixi felt that teaching by example was indeed more appropriate, so she stood up and walked around the sofa in a cat-like manner.

Perhaps she felt that this was not convincing enough, so she finally clenched her fists and placed them on her chin, and softly imitated a sound: "Meow~"

"Ah! It feels like a cat~ meow~"

Taldor was not good at learning to walk, but she learned to meow very quickly. She asked cutely, "Sister Ai Lixi, when is dinner ready, meow~"

"Today is Thanksgiving," Alisi said patiently, "It should be starting soon, meow~"

"Sister Ellysi, can you take me to see it, meow?"

"Of course you can, meow~" Ai Lisi picked her up and said, "By the way, I'll get you some snacks to fill your stomach, meow~"

"Wow! Great meow~ Go go go! I want to eat a cupcake meow~"

"That's all for the cat role-playing!"

"Okay, I'm so happy. Let's play the role again next time..."

Just when Taldo was about to get away with it and was carried to the door by Alisi, Chen Ming suddenly took action.

"Your little skirt is all dirty after rolling around on the floor. You need to take a shower and change clothes before you can go to the celebration!"

Chen Ming smiled and picked up the small rag that had sacrificed itself to wipe the wooden floor clean from Ai Lixi's arms.

Taldo flapped her wings a few times in the air, but when she saw that her mother and sister Elise did not come to save her, she immediately gave up struggling.

Chen Ming carried her into the bathroom - when Shenhong was undergoing modernization, Chen Ming specifically asked her to make the bathtub extra large, so that it could accommodate ten people taking a bath at the same time. For Talduo, it could be used as a swimming pool.

After putting warm water in the rectangular bathtub, Chen Ming put her in the water.

Because as far as Chen Ming knows, swimming can bring many benefits to babies.

So since moving into the Hillside Manor, Talduo has half an hour of swimming time every day. At the beginning, she needed Chen Ming and Alpha to help support her, but after a year of training, she can now swim on her own.

Compared to walking, Talduo prefers swimming, and she started playing by herself as soon as she entered the bathtub.

"Wow~"

Talduo looked up at the sky, his limbs swinging on the water.

The little hands surrounded by magic slapped the water surface from time to time, swimming to this side and then to that side.

She seemed to like playing with soap bubbles very much. Every time she saw white soap bubbles floating on the water, she would touch and poke them with her little hands, and finally watch the soap bubbles gradually disappear, and let out an innocent laugh of "haha".

The sunlight from outside the window shone into the bathroom, illuminating Taldo's face. Her big golden eyes seemed to emit light, like a holy little angel.

Chen Ming squatted beside the bathtub with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands to straighten Talduo and make her stand upright.

When he filled the tub with warm water, he carefully controlled the depth so that Taldo's feet could just touch the bottom of the tub.

The experience of almost falling down the first time she walked made Tarduo a little afraid of falling down again.

But she soon discovered that when she stood upright in the water, her body felt so light and there was nothing to be afraid of!

Talduo swayed and flapped for a while, then gradually stabilized.

"How does it feel? It's easy to walk in the water!"

"Yeah~"

Chen Ming rubbed her wet golden hair and took the opportunity to teach her how to walk again, with remarkable results...

……

In the evening, the setting sun poured down like flames on the temporary venue in the front yard of the villa, and the aroma of maple syrup and cinnamon floated in the air.

Chen Ming stood in front of the French window on the second floor of the villa, tidying up his appearance and looking at the maids walking around in the courtyard. They were wearing the same maid-version celebration dress, with dark green velvet long skirts under ruffled aprons, and their hair was decorated with maple leaf-shaped hair accessories that suited the occasion. They were placing the last few gilded candlesticks on the long table.

Alpha and Elise had already taken Taldo, who had just finished taking a bath, downstairs to have some snacks.

"Master, the Thanksgiving dinner is ready."

A holographic projection of [Crimson] appeared behind him and warned.

Chen Ming nodded, put on a pair of AR glasses, and slowly walked downstairs to the front yard of the villa.

Hundreds of lovingly prepared dishes by the maids are spread out along the walnut dining table, from Burgundy baked snails to black truffle foie gras mousse. Each dish is marked with a [deep red] tasting note, and some plates marked with skulls are particularly eye-catching - such as the charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef made by Annie.

These labels are displayed directly on the AR glasses, so there is no need to worry about the little maids being sad when they see them.

When Chen Ming picked up the silver fork, 13-year-old Mei Jia was standing on tiptoe to pour champagne into the goblet. The light golden wine was bubbling with fine bubbles in the crystal glass.
