Chapter 7: Growing cauliflower

I was just going to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, the wilting cauliflower flowers met the spiritual spring and filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the soft stems became upright.

The seeds that had just been planted also broke through the soil in an instant and grew into a small seedling.

Broccoli is actually cauliflower.

You have to know that broccoli these days is not cheap.

Gu Chen hurriedly ladled some water over it again.

Sure enough, the cauliflower grew rapidly, and the cauliflower, which was the size of a pinky finger, instantly grew to the size of a small mushroom.

The original seedlings also grew a lot.

Gu Chen was extremely surprised and quickly poured some more water. This time, the cauliflower grew even larger, as big as a fist.

Gu Chen was curious. It was growing too fast.

If it continued to grow like this, how big would it get if he kept watering it?

He quickly went to scoop some spring water and poured it into the soil. Strangely, this time the cauliflower did not grow.

Just when he was curious,

Suddenly, he heard a prompt sound in his ear.

'You can only water it three times. After 12 hours, whatever is planted in the spiritual field will grow automatically.'

Gu Chen's brow twitched when he heard 12 hours.

In that case, wouldn't it only take one night?

Would it grow tomorrow?

This system is quite interesting.

As he pondered this, he heard the sound of the door opening in the courtyard.

Gu Chen hurriedly stepped out of the way without thinking too much.

Tang Tang bounced into the room and, seeing Gu Chen with his hands tied, wanted a hug.

'Daddy, Tang Tang missed you so much~'

The little one was being cute, and her soft voice was just so sweet.

Gu Chen's heart melted.

He stroked Tang Tang's head and then gave her a kiss on the cheek.

'Daddy missed you too.'

The child's face was plump and round, her skin soft and delicate, and the texture was just too good.

After being kissed by Gu Chen, Tang Tang immediately pouted the corners of her rosy lips, and with her two little meaty hands, she hugged Gu Chen's head and gave him a kiss on the face too.

Then she smiled with her eyebrows and eyes curved.

'Daddy, Tang Tang wants to sleep with you~'

Gu Chen was shocked for a moment.

'Okay!'

He promised with full conviction.

In fact, he was still a little flustered.

After all, this was the first time in his two lives that he had taken Tang Tang to bed.

Seeing Gu Chen agree so readily,

Ji Pianran, who was standing nearby, didn't say a word and looked at him suspiciously.

Can he do it?

The little milk ball in his arms was overjoyed and immediately beamed a smile that revealed his little white teeth.

'Yes, Tang Tang is going to sleep with Daddy tonight~'

Gu Chen looked at the expression on Ji Pianran's face and knew that she was afraid that she couldn't do it, but he didn't say anything.

He just smiled sheepishly.

'So, Tangtang will sleep with me tonight?'

Ji Pianran nodded, 'Okay, then.' Halfway through his sentence, Ji Pianran suddenly lowered his head, and his earlobes were also rosy. 'I'll leave Tangtang in your care.'

She wanted to go take a bath, but she felt a little strange about saying this to Gu Chen face-to-face.

After all, he was rarely at home, and every time Ji Pianran took a bath, she asked Auntie Zhang to take care of Tang Tang.

Gu Chen looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Why did she suddenly feel shy for no reason?

But he didn't ask any more.

It was only natural for him to sleep with his child.

He nodded, 'Okay, don't worry.'

After that, he carried Tang Tang into his room.

The father and daughter lay on the dry wooden bed. No matter how Gu Chen slept, it felt jarring, but Tang Tang didn't seem to mind at all.

After all, she was used to it.

Ji Bianran's bed was the same: a dry wooden plank with a thin mattress on top.

Gu Chen held Tang Tang in his arms and began to lull her to sleep.

What Cinderella, Pinocchio with the long nose.

And the story of the little duckling.

Whatever came to mind, she told.

But she could only remember the general gist of these stories, and had basically forgotten all the details.

In short, she just made things up as she went along.

She talked for about half an hour before Tang Tang finally fell asleep.

Seeing that the little girl was motionless,

Gu Chen quietly climbed out of bed and prepared to go out into the courtyard for a smoke.

The moon was full and the stars were exceptionally bright.

Gu Chen had just taken out his cigarette and was about to light it when he heard the sound of running water coming from the kitchen.

The small bungalow had a large yard and many rooms.

The kitchen was directly opposite Gu Chen's room, and the room next to it was Ji Pianran's.

Gu Chen was startled and subconsciously glanced towards Ji Pianran's room.

He noticed that the light was indeed dark.

She must have gone to bed by now.

Then why was there a sound of water in the kitchen?

The more Gu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Unlike in the city, the walls of rural houses were short, and there were small coal piles outside the houses, so it was easy to climb onto the roof along the piles.

Moreover, it was just before the New Year.

It was the time to stock up on New Year's provisions.

He wondered if someone might be stealing the family's meat or something.

Thinking about this, Gu Chen headed towards the kitchen.

Without saying a word, he pushed open the kitchen door.

Then a cloud of hot steam hit him in the face.

In the moonlight, he saw Ji Bianran sitting in a wooden tub taking a bath.

Her skin was very white, and her figure was slender.

Her neck was long and graceful.

Ji Bian heard a noise and was startled, and she immediately sank down in the water.

'Who?'

Her voice was extremely panicked.

Gu Chen had originally come in with clenched fists to catch a thief, but unexpectedly, at that moment, a pair of clenched fists were sent downwards in an instant.

His speech also stumbled, 'Well, that is, I thought there was a thief in the house, but I didn't expect you to be taking a bath.'

Ji Pianran never expected that she would be exposed in this way, naked, in front of Gu Chen.

She immediately blushed.

Fortunately, she hadn't turned on the lights, so Gu Chen didn't see.

'We, we don't have thieves in our family. That, you can go out first, I'll finish washing up.'

Ji Pianran's voice trembled a little because she was nervous.

This was the first time she had been looked at so nakedly by Gu Chen.

Moreover, their current relationship.

It was already extremely rigid.

At such a time, she felt embarrassed no matter what she thought about being looked at like that by Gu Chen.

For no reason, Gu Chen's throat tightened at this moment.

He swallowed and walked out with his head down.

He hadn't realised it before, but Ji Pianran actually had such a good figure, just her back.

It had already made Gu Chen feel blocked and helpless.

He was nervous and secretly delighted.

Nervous because he had watched Ji Pianran shower.

Secretly delighted because he had been reborn!

Luckily he had been reborn.

In fact, in their previous life, when they had just got married, Ji Pianran had been very good to him. She had kept all the delicious food for herself, and she had only learned to sew when she married Gu Chen.

At first, she had just wanted to make him a pair of shoes that fit well.

But Gu Chen had no idea how to do that, and he had thought that Ji Pianran's handiwork was poor.

Those shoes are still in the closet.
