Picked Up A Small Cannon Fodder Chapter 7
Wei Xue's parents stayed at their daughter's house for a week, and they did not leave until Little LaBa showed no signs of relapsing after he was discharged from the hospital.
They were very reluctant to leave and left a lot of pocket money for their two little grandchildren.
The Feng family is not short of money, this was the goodwill of the old couple and Wei Xuezhen was not able to dissuade them and could only accept it.
In just one short week, Little LaBa had become fatter to the naked eye. Originally Little LaBa ate food like a cat.
Little LaBa now had a very good appetite, and everything was delicious to eat for him. The couple felt scared at first, so they went to the hospital for a check-up but there was nothing wrong with him.
Instead, they made the child so hungry that he ate two more bowls of rice.
Now Little LaBa is white and fat, with a chubby face. Although he is still not as tall as a child of the same age, his figure has already caught up with them. Chubby and lovely.
The old man’s birthday was coming up. This year there will be his longevity birthday party, which needs to be handled well.
These events, like in the past, were handled by Wei Xue and her sister-in-law. It's just that because it had to be more grand this time, Wei Xue and his sister-in-law, who had already moved out, went back home again.
They began preparations two weeks in advance.
Naturally, Little LaBa also came back with them.
Previously, when Little LaBa was ill, Feng Tingyun's eldest brother and sister-in-law couldn't make it back home from abroad. This time upon meeting him his sister-in-law was amazed.
Was this still that thin and sickly child?
So white and chubby, how can you be so lovely?
Little LaBa was originally already cute, and now that he got fatter, he was even cuter.
Even for Feng Tingyun who was exhausted after a day of work, the most relieving thing was to rub his son's chubby cheeks when he’d get home.
The child changed from day to day, his old clothes already didn't fit him anymore. Before arriving at the old house, Wei Xue specially took him to buy several sets.
They were all selected by Little LaBa himself, and without exception, they all had small cows. Today’s little cow even had a tail.
The sister-in-law’s son was already an adult. And now she liked Little LaBa so much that she was holding him, refusing to let him go.
"Little LaBa, call big aunt."
The age difference between the two brothers was a bit big. Feng Tingyun was just over thirty, and his elder brother was about to turn fifty.
His sister-in-law was in her forties, but she maintained herself well and didn't look old at all.
Little LaBa was in his big aunt’s arms. He fiddled with her emerald earrings making them flicker, and he sweetly called big aunt.
The old man was already impatient, he also wanted to hug his niece.
It's just that there were too many people, so he was too embarrassed to speak up.
Now that someone was holding the baby, Wei Xue turned around and took out the luggage from the car. The butler helped her take the suitcase. Shecarried a child's small red three-wheeler, the one Feng Hao bought for his younger brother with his pocket money.
Little LaBaliked it a lot. He usually puts his feet on the pedals and rides it at home.
No, when he saw his little car, Little LaBa was not satisfied with being held by others anymore.
"Car!"
Little LaBa is a young car God, Little LaBa wants to drive.
His strength was not small, the sister-in-law was afraid for him to fall and quickly compromised, "Alright, alright, big aunt will let you down and play with the car."
The child got in the right posture and before driving he even rolled up his sleeves.
The old man was amused, "Baby looks like he is going to fight."
Huh?
Little LaBa accurately found the person who spoke, "Fight, bad baby."
This means that only bad babies fight, and everyone was amused by him.
The ground of the old house was much larger than Feng Tingyun's own small home, and Little LaBa also had a larger space for activities. His little red car finally found a place to play, it didn’t have to be confined to the one-third acre of land at home anymore.
He rode his tricycle madly, while the old man happily followed behind him.
The sisters in law chatted, Wei Xue asked, "Is Shi Xia not back?"
Feng Shixia, the son of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, was studying abroad. This time they went abroad just to see their son.
Every year Shi Xia would return to China at this time of the year. It's said that this time after returning he will not leave anymore, his studies abroad are over.
Her sister-in-law smiled embarrassedly, "He's back, he's inside the house."
"I don't know what's been going on recently. He is obsessed with some games. He holds the computer all day and doesn't let it go."
Wei Xue expressed understanding, "Ting Yun is already the father of two children and still plays games."
Her sister-in-law waved her hand, "Sigh, I don't understand, but the body will collapse if he stays in front of the computer every day."
Wei Xue nodded, "It's okay to play casually, it's not good to be addicted to games."
Sister-in-law thinks so too, but ever since her son returned to China, he said he wanted to make games and start a game company. His wings are already hard , now they can't say anything anymore.
Suo Xing decided to simply ignore him. When he had suffered, he would know that he was wrong.
The old man’s house has been around for some years, and the yard is covered with red ordinary looking bricks. It doesn't seem to be very exquisite, but this is the style that the old man likes, but this style made Little LaBa miserable.
There would inevitably be a gap between the bricks and Little LaBa's car was a bit faster, so it blocked.
Before Little LaBa had time to figure out what was going on, he tripped and fell over.
What a big accident scene.
This accident shocked the adults. The little guy's face was on the ground and the car fell on top of him. Fortunately, the weight of the car was not heavy.
When Little LaBa was picked up, he sniffed, and he cried out after he felt the pain.
The old man coaxed the child, and he was about to hit the car, "Bad car, it let the baby fall. Hit it."
The child sobbed and opened his arms, standing in front of the car to protect it. "Don't wanna. If you want to hit, then him me"
His heroic appearance made everyone don't know whether to cry or laugh. Hearing the cry of the child, Feng Shixia finally moved. He said in the team chat:
[No moist wind this summer: My brother seems to be crying, I'll go take a look.] Suddenly, complaints popped out.
[Autumn Sauce: No way, bro, we're doing instance dungeon.】
[Lao Zi is number one in the world: You have no heart.】
Feng Shixia was anxious by his brother's crying, he couldn't wait to go out and see his baby brother, [No moist wind this summer: everyone forgive me, even without me, God X alone can do for two. ] [X: ... 】
[Autumn Sauce: God X is awesome, Moist Wind go away. 】
Tch, inhuman things.
Feng Shixia put down the laptop and went out, a group of people were surrounding Little LaBa. Even if he wanted to squeeze in, he couldn't, he could only stretch his neck to see what was going on.
The baby was desperately guarding his car, how could the old man dare to move, and quickly changed his words, "Don't hit, don't hit. Grandpa is just joking."
This was the baby car that big brother gave him, and no one could touch it.
Little LaBa was thinking about this when a shadow covered his head. He forgot to cry and raised his head sillily.
Feng Shixia, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, was a giant in the eyes of the little baby. The giant opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter, why are you crying?"
This child seems to be different from the one in his memory. The little baby from his uncle’s family is the heart and soul of the whole family. If Feng Shixia remembers correctly, he was thin when he saw him last time, without a bit of vitality.
The baby lifted the neck up until it hurt, but he looked at him foolishly as if he forgot to lower his head back.
"Hi, Little LaBa, do you still remember me? I'm elder brother."
Elder brother?!
Little LaBa's eyes widened in horror. He looked at his little car and then at the other party.
He hasn't seen him in just a few days, elder brother had already grown up like this?!
After a lot of energy, Little LaBa realized that this elder brother is not that elder brother, this belongs to the eldest aunt's house.
It's also because except for Feng Hao, Little LaBa hadn't touched other children.
He thought there was only one elder brother, as unique as his own name.
But it seems that Little LaBa still likes his new elder brother, and the two of them got acquainted in no time.
Feng Shixia was sitting on the sofa with Little LaBa on his lap, and Little LaBa had a computer in his arms.
On the computer was an ancient town, their instance dungeon was finished. So Feng Shixia took his younger brother to watch the scenery. Little LaBa's entire body was lying on the computer. It was obvious that he was very interested in it.
[Jinling Li mama: Young man, it's been a long time since you came to our house. Come in to play.] Little LaBa still couldn't read. He only saw a dressed-up aunt waving her kerchief at the young warrior in white who was riding a tall horse.
He didn't even know what place this was. Little LaBa was very interested in this, "Go in and play."
His little hand was holding the big hand of his elder brother holding the mouse. Wei Xue leaned in curiously, "Where does the baby want to play?"
Feng Shixia was startled, and the young warrior in white kicked the old mama a few meters away.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "It's nothing, just casually strolling around in the game."
TRANSLATIONS NOTES:
- Longevity birthday party: 整寿 zheng shou - starting from the age of 40, every ten years, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 and even higher, a grand birthday ceremony must be held to celebrate. That's because in the past people who turned 50 years old were considered to be very long lived.
- wings are already hard: Literally translates to “hardened wings” or “a bird having become fully fledged”. Similar to the English phrase which also uses a grown bird as a metaphor, “to leave the nest”. It means that he has now grown up so he doesn't listen to his parents anymore.
- Lao Zi: Used for self-proclaim (including arrogance; often used in anger, joking, etc.)
- No moist wind this summer: Literal meaning "no moist wind this summer" 今年夏天不风湿 jīnnián xiàtiān bù fēngshī (maybe an acronym of his name Feng Shixia I’m sure though)
- Autumn Sauce: Literal meaning of 秋秋酱 qiū qiū jiàng
- Jinling Li mama: 金陵李妈妈 mama(a way of addressing an attendant chef) Li of Jinling
