Ling Qi was a little speechless after Zhan Xi's answer. He then asked, "Even if the investment fails, you won't even give him the principal?"
Zhan Xi replied shamelessly: "The principal has also been lost. Investing to make money is inherently risky. I am teaching him that there are gains and losses on the road to making money."
Ling Qi: “…”
Ling Qi looked at him and said, "Then just wait and see him cry."
Both the father and the son were targeting each other, one wanted to cheat the son out of his red envelope, and the other wanted to ask his father for more red envelopes.
The father and son were already feeling upset before the New Year celebrations even started.
The little kid who was holding the kid meeting, after making a sullen face to Wagner for a while, Sevi finally let go.
"After the Chinese New Year, I will pick you up and come over. I have a lot of elders here, and you can get a lot of red envelopes, but my elders are a bit serious."
Savi used the word "serious" to describe it, which is actually an understatement.
His elders were not serious, but a little fierce.
The little one and Wagner pricked up their ears, focusing on the "many red envelopes". They definitely didn't hear clearly whether their elders were serious or not.
"Savi, you come to us first to wish us a happy new year. After you've finished wishing us a happy new year, we'll go to your place to wish you a happy new year, and finally we'll go to Wagner's house and my uncle Lulu's house to wish you a happy new year."
The kids have arranged the order of New Year's greetings very clearly. They are putting all their efforts into getting the red envelopes.
"OK."
Savi thought this order was OK, and they discussed some minor details before ending the meeting.
Before ending the meeting, Saiwei said to the little boy, "Ningzi, next time I call you via video, remember to let Lele pick up the phone."
He called her via video, and Ningzai answered every time. But Ningzai himself didn't think about what they could talk about via video.
"Oh, I see."
In consideration of receiving the red envelope, Ningzai agreed to Savi's request.
After finishing the call with Savi, the little guy went to see Lele who was still sleeping. Lele had cried a lot in the past few days and his little face looked a little tired.
"well."
The little cub rubbed his head and felt a headache: "It's so difficult."
It sounds like it's not an easy task to reunite Lele with her mother.
The little boy sat next to Lele and watched Lele for a while. During that time, his star phone rang several times. It was his brother calling.
After the call was not answered, Huo Lin sent a message.
"Ningzi, are you still angry?"
"Are you really ignoring me?"
"I was injured in training today."
The first two messages made the little boy snort coldly and remained unmoved. But the third message made the little boy unable to snort anymore.
He frowned and stared at the message, his chubby face becoming more and more serious.
He knew his brother was going to train, and the training was dangerous. So, this message didn't seem to be a lie.
After struggling for several minutes.
The little boy still called his brother back on video. When the call was connected, the little boy said fiercely with a sullen face, "Let me see where you are hurt."
Huo Lin was prepared and showed him the wound on his arm.
The little boy looked at the blood oozing out of the gauze, his eyes widened: "It's bleeding!"
Huo Lin said “hmm” and explained in a normal tone: “I was distracted during training and accidentally got hurt. It doesn’t hurt much.”
The little guy didn't believe that it didn't hurt. He had accidentally cut himself before and it hurt so much.
My brother's arm looks much more serious than the cut he made!
"Why were you distracted during training?"
The little boy's frown had not yet relaxed, and he was a little angry: "It's not good to be distracted in class. If you are distracted in class, you will fail the exam."
After being spanked by his father, the little boy was forced to accept that he had failed the exam. He did not blame Grandpa Confucius, but blamed himself for being distracted in class.
Huo Lin listened to the little boy's lecture. Although he didn't show it on his face, he felt very comfortable in his heart.
He looked at the little fat boy on the screen and said calmly, "I thought of you during training, and I thought you were still angry, so I lost my focus."
Little cub: “…”
The little cub was stunned.
The pot thrown by his brother from a distance stunned the kid.
"Brother, don't miss the baby."
The little cub warned: "Don't think during training!"
Being led astray by his brother, the little boy couldn't be angry with his brother anymore. If it weren't for the screen, he would have hugged his brother right now.
"I'm not mad at you anymore."
The little boy looked at his brother's arm, his eyes almost red with distress: "Let Dr. Gene apply medicine to you, Dr. Gene is very good."
"good."
Huo Lin, who had successfully coaxed the cub, was now listening to the cub's various instructions, and his usually cold features were gentle.
"Brother, I will come back to see you after the New Year."
"Okay, brother will wait for you."
"Brother, my son is wishing you a happy new year. Will you give him a red envelope?"
"meeting."
"And Wagner and Sevi, they also want to wish you a happy new year." After the little boy showed concern for his brother, he also brought up the most important issue of red envelopes.
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin looked at the expressions of the little cubs and guessed what they were doing as a group.
He nodded: "Let them come and worship."
His pocket money is enough to give these people red envelopes.
The little guy got another New Year's red envelope and his mood improved.
He held Xingji and talked to his brother for a long time. If someone else talked about the trivial things in life, Huo Lin might not be interested.
But when the little guy said it, he found it very interesting.
Eating and sleeping are fun, and going out for a walk is fun.
No matter what the little guy does, he finds it interesting.
The video played for a long time before the little boy waved his hand reluctantly to his brother: "Brother, if you are injured, don't train anymore and have a good rest!"
"Zizi is almost home. I'll call you later."
"good."
Huo Lin also waved and said goodbye to the little guy.
The spacecraft landed on a barren planet.
Zhan Xi opened the door and saw that the place was already crowded with people: "Oh, everyone is quite enthusiastic! Boss, you are here too."
Zhan Xi looked at the people from Desolate Star who came to pick them up, his face full of smiles. He opened his arms, ready to hug Zhan Rao.
But Zhan Rao avoided him directly: "Where's Ningzi?"
Others were also asking: "Is Ningzai still sleeping? Has he woken up? He must be exhausted after sitting on the spaceship for such a long time."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi's smile froze on his face.
He looked at everyone looking into the spacecraft, and he wanted to understand that everyone's enthusiasm was not for him.
"Big Uncle!!!"
Just when Zhan Xi was about to express his dissatisfaction to Zhan Rao, a cub rushed out from the spaceship. The cub's baby voice seemed to come with sticky waves. He threw himself on Zhan Rao and shouted, "Cub, I miss you so much!"
When Zhan Rao saw the little cub rushing towards him, there was finally some expression on his face.
He picked up the cub and put it directly on his neck.
The little cub hugged his head and was very clingy with him: "Uncle, do you miss the cub?"
Zhan Rao was a dull person, not good at expressing his emotions. He only replied with two words: "I thought about it."
Hearing this, the little cub narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and smiled.
After Zhan Rao held the cub for a while, others came over to grab the cub.
The little boy didn't feel strange at all in the presence of adults. He called people sweetly and tilted his chubby face to let the adults pinch and kiss him.
Zhan Xi was so upset: "Ling Qi, do you think they are corny?"
Ling Qi glanced at him and ignored him.
Speaking of corny things, no one is as corny as Zhan Xi himself. Sometimes after he gives the baby a bath, he gets excited and grabs the baby and kisses him and loves him so much that it is so corny that it is unbearable to watch.
"Uncle, the cub has brought his friend back."
After the little one finished hanging out with the adults, he didn’t forget to introduce Lele: “This is the Lele that I told you about in the group!”
Before they came back, Zhan Xi had already told everyone in advance.
So everyone is familiar with Lele. When they see the little boy bringing his friends back, they naturally show their friendliness.
"Where is Lele? Why can't I see him?"
"He's sleeping, I'll go wake him up!"
Lele, who was woken up, was not in a good mood at all, but his little face looked a little depressed. He sat on the bed, and Zhan Xi put on his little shoes for him and carried him out.
"Le Le, these are the parents of the kids, please say hello to them."
Although Lele looked timid, he still mustered up the courage to greet everyone one by one.
When everyone on the deserted planet saw Lele, they were also nervous.
A little cub like Lele, who looks so fragile, might not be able to survive if it was left here to be raised shortly after birth.
"Le Le, you don't have to be afraid of people. Just treat this place as home."
Someone took Lele over and said, "There are many vegetable plots here, including Ningzi's vegetable plot. Do you two want to go and play by yourselves?"
"Yes!" the little guy answered quickly.
He asked Dobby to put Lele down, and then took Lele to see his vegetable garden.
After Xiaozaizai and Lele left, everyone started to help Zhan Xi take things out of the spaceship.
Zhan Xi pointed to the things at the innermost part: "That pile is what Ningzi bought for you."
There were a bunch of things in the spaceship with names written on them. These were all things that the little one had bought on a regular basis.
Dobby's hands got frostbite, so Little Cub bought Dobby a frostbite ointment developed by a retired doctor on White Mist Star.
The ointment made by the retired doctor was not on the market yet. He originally wanted to give it to his family, but after the little kid got the news, he came to his house every day to ask his grandfather to buy the ointment.
Finally, the old doctor, who was exhausted, took the little boy in, picked up a sack of rags, and exchanged it for a can of frostbite cream for him.
There is also an uncle who looks cold, but actually likes to eat sweet snacks!
When the foodie kid ate the sweet snacks, he would secretly leave a portion for his uncle. The chocolate he left for him had melted a little because it had been left for too long.
Hua Ya is a girl who loves to be pretty. So Xiao Zaizai used her favorite excavator to exchange for a very fashionable skirt from a kid in her class who ran a clothing store.
There were also gifts from other people, a tape recorder, some seeds, sturdy shoes…
The gifts that Xiaozaizai gives to everyone are all different.
Although he was coaxed by the royal family of three in Baiwu, the royal family did not give him pocket money, and his father gave him little pocket money either. He used his own methods to prepare these gifts.
For example, he would go out to pick up rags, or exchange his favorite toys for them. Or, if he couldn't afford the gift he wanted to prepare by picking up rags, the little kid would do things for his classmates in exchange for gifts.
In short, Zhan Xi and Ling Qi didn’t contribute to this small pile of gifts; the little guy put them all together by himself.
He can remember what every adult wants and needs.
While collecting these gifts, Xiaozaizai certainly didn't have it all smooth sailing, but Zhan Xi had never heard Xiaozaizai complain to him about his grievances.
A group of adults received their gifts. They listened to Zhan Xi telling them with a smile how the little kid saved up the gifts. They wanted to laugh but also felt sad.
Before the little guy went out, he was a warm-hearted little devil on the deserted planet. Sometimes he was so naughty that people had to pick him up and spank him, but sometimes he was so warm that even several kisses from them still felt it was not enough.
This time he went to Baiwu Star to study and stayed there for several months.
Baiwu Star is prosperous and bustling, and there is an imperial royal family who dotes on the cubs. In fact, the adults sometimes have wild thoughts. After seeing the cubs in the prosperous city, will they treat these rough people the same way as before
Now, looking at the gifts prepared by the little ones, and thinking about the little ones tilting their faces upwards to let them kiss them as they pleased, the adults felt at ease.
Their baby cub is still as cute as before.
The little boy, who had just moved the adults, was now sitting in front of the vegetable patch, trying in vain with his chubby hands to support the seedlings that had been crushed by his face.
Lele squatted beside him, also anxious: "What should I do? This can't be put back."
Little Zaizai just brought Lele to inspect the vegetable garden. He didn't look at the road carefully while inspecting and accidentally fell.
He fell face down, and his fat face hit the seedlings, breaking several of them.
At this moment, the little guy didn't even bother to wipe the mud off his face. He used his chubby little hands to hold the seedlings, trying to make them grow back.
But just supporting it was useless. The kid wanted to plant the seedlings back, but the roots of the seedlings were broken and he couldn't plant them.
After trying for a while, the little cub sniffed and recognized the cruel reality: "It's okay, I won't fail."
Lele: “…”
Seeing him give up, Lele thought it was not a big deal: "Then what are we going to do now?"
The little kid got up and turned around to walk towards an uncle's house: "Now I'm going to my uncle's house to get beaten."
These seedlings are rare, and the cub will definitely be beaten.
Lele: “…”
Lele was stunned: "Will uncle really hit you?"
The little boy nodded, a little sadly: "Beating, if you don't listen, you will be beaten."
Dad and the uncles had agreed to only spank Zaizai's butt, because Zaizai's butt was plump and could not be hurt.
But even if it doesn't hurt, the baby will be hurt.
Kids who have been spanked many times since childhood are familiar with the process of getting spanked.
Lele didn't believe that the adults here would really beat children, until he lived here for three days and saw Ningzai being spanked twice with his own eyes.
Once, he used his face to damage his uncle's precious vegetable seedlings that he was preparing to grow as seeds. Another time, he wanted to prepare a surprise for another uncle, so he hid himself in his uncle's house, but he fell asleep while hiding.
The little kid who fell asleep successfully turned the surprise into a fright.
All the adults were looking for the cub, but Lele was sleeping at that time and no one knew where he was hiding.
After everyone searched around and around, they finally found the cub. The cub was sleeping soundly.
There is no doubt that Zizi was beaten again.
When adults punch a cub, they almost get it, but when they don't, they love the cub.
The little boy didn't hold a grudge. After being beaten, he rubbed his butt, shed a few tears, and then moved on.
The days just passed one by one.
The little cubs who returned to the deserted planet were having fun all day long.
However, although there are many fun things on the deserted planet, the little guy still wants to play the Star Machine game. He fiddled with it for a long time and found that in order to disable the children's mode of the Star Machine, it requires adults to do facial recognition before it can be disabled.
This is the method Wagner gave him remote guidance.
Lele looked at the kid fiddling with his phone, thought about it, and still felt that what he was doing was very dangerous.
"No adult will cooperate with us."
Lele was sober and rational: "The New Year is coming soon. If I don't behave, the adults will come and spank me again."
The little boy was even more sober than Lele, and his sobriety revealed a bit of opportunism: "I will secretly ask my dad to certify me after the New Year's Eve!"
Lele: “…”
Lele was a little confused: "Why choose the time of the Little New Year?"
The little boy made a clever analysis: "During the Little New Year, adults will drink, and Dad can't drink much. And, most importantly—"
"During the Chinese New Year, adults cannot hit children!"
The little boy remembers it very clearly. Every year during the Chinese New Year, even if he made his father angry on the two days of the Minor New Year and the Big New Year, his father would not beat him.
Lele listened to the popular science lecture and took notes carefully.
The little guy memorized the date and looked at the star machine, his chubby face full of determination.
In two days, the baby can continue to play games!
While the little ones were looking forward to the New Year, the adults were also busy.
There are many things to prepare for the Chinese New Year, and Ling Qi is even more prepared to buy New Year's goods.
