Chapter 23: An Unexpected Blessing (3/10)

Snowflakes as large as goose feathers were falling, and the people of the Yuan Family were huddled inside their wooden house in the mountains, feeling not too cold.

This was because there was an extra layer of snow wall outside their wooden house, completely blocking the piercing cold winds of winter.

The snow wall was an idea conceived by Yuan Yindi.

As the scholarly prodigy of the Yuan Family, Yuan Yindi had indeed read many books, not only the classics of history and philosophy but also various miscellaneous books.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Yindi was as talented as Zhuge Liang.

Even Yuan Bao, the transmigrator, couldn't help but admire this.

Born in early summer, Yuan Bao could already babble words. In order to appear like a normal little baby, she didn't want to show off too much.

Of course, compared to her twin brother, Yuan Bao was still a great deal smarter.

"Mom, pee-pee!"

Upon waking up early, Yuan Bao saw her mother, Mrs. Xiao Li, sitting beside her, and immediately expressed her need.

Now, she was able to preliminarily control her body, at least she no longer wet the bed. Meanwhile, her twin brother still occasionally wet the bed.

Comparing the two, it made Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li, who were new parents, wonder if their son might have some intelligence issues.

"My dear Jiaojiao, so well-behaved!"

Mrs. Xiao Li helped Yuan Bao with her pee, then placed her back on the warm kang bed. "Be good, play by yourself for a while, and I'll get you some egg custard to eat!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Once she could roughly control her body, Yuan Bao worked hard to earn her right to eat solid food.

Although breast milk was delicious, the soul inside her little body was that of an adult. Before when she had no choice, she resignedly drank milk. But now, Yuan Bao felt she needed to become independent quickly.

After all, drinking milk, for a little baby like her, was truly somewhat embarrassing.

Besides, her mother was responsible for feeding two babies, and the milk often wasn't enough. Because of the family's affection for Yuan Bao, as a result, her poor brother often wasn't full and could only fill his belly with rice soup.

Therefore, once Yuan Bao could eat semi-solid foods like egg custard, she weaned herself.

"Silly son, when will you be as enlightened as your sister?"

As Mrs. Xiao Li went to prepare breakfast for Yuan Bao, she glanced at her eldest son, who was still sleeping soundly under the covers. Unfortunately, the little fellow sleeping didn't know his mother had just thought him a bit slow.

"Wife, wife!"

Just as Mrs. Xiao Li was about to bring Yuan Bao's breakfast, Yuan Zhaodi burst in excitedly from outside.

With Yuan Zhaodi's entrance, a rush of cold air followed into the house.

Mrs. Xiao Li sneezed twice on the spot.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Xiao Li looked at her husband with disdain. She had often argued loudly with him about his hasty nature.

"Wife, good news, good news!"

Yuan Zhaodi chuckled, "Big brother and others caught a ewe in the mountains, and they also caught three little lambs."

"The most wonderful thing is that the ewe is still producing milk, so our Jiaojiao now has something good to eat!"

Listening to Yuan Zhaodi's excited words, Mrs. Xiao Li's eyes also sparkled with delight.

Ever since Yuan Bao weaned, feeding her had become a major task for the Yuan Family.

Rice gruel wasn't lacking, but there were concerns about its nutritional content. As for egg custard, it was really difficult. In this cold weather, the old hens at home were laying fewer and fewer eggs.

Now they had an ewe that was still producing milk, which was indeed an unexpected boon!
