Chapter 503: The Cheesy Baby Wife Likes It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Big Luo was surprised that Old Madam Luo had suddenly thought it through and even bought a headlamp. “Mother, why did you buy a headlamp?”
Old Madam Luo beamed with joy. “Let’s go to the beach tonight to catch crabs, sea cucumbers, and abalones. With a headlamp, we can see them. The sea breeze can’t blow them away.” Then she said smugly, “This headlamp cost your mother half a tael of silver. We have to earn it back.”
“Half a tael of silver! It’s so expensive! Mother, let me see.” Luo Da reached out to see what the headlamp looked like.
Old Master Luo reminded carefully, “Don’t break it.”
Luo Da took a closer look and couldn’t help but ask, “Mother, how does this work?”
Old Madam Luo said proudly, “Look at you. You don’t even know how to use a headlamp. You’re not even as good as an old lady like me.” She reached out and pressed the button inside the headlamp. With a bang, the headlamp lit up.
It was broad daylight, but it was still a little eye-catching when it lit up.
This was the first time Luo Da was looking at the lights at such a close distance. He was a little curious. “It’s so beautiful and bright. If we use this to go to the beach, we’ll definitely be able to catch a lot of seafood.” Then he said, “I can also use it to fish. The fishes in this season are especially fat. It can be sold for a good price.”
He put it on his head again and tried it on in the house. It felt especially good and their movements would not be restricted at all.
When he was fishing, others would definitely envy him to death.
Old Madam Luo wanted to use it to pick up seafood herself, so the headlamp was extremely precious. “When we earn money, I’ll buy you another one.”
When Luo Da heard his mother’s words that she did not want him to use it, he immediately had the intention to buy one himself.
Luo Da asked, “Where did you buy this?”
Old Madam Luo said anxiously, “Don’t worry about where I bought it first. Hurry up and get someone to install the wires. There are no wires at home. When this bit of electricity is used up, there’s no way to charge it.”
Luo Da was stunned. “So it still has to be charged. 1 thought 1 could use it forever after buying it.”
Old Madam Luo also felt the same. “That’s right. Buying it once and charging it continuously is just wasting money. The Imperial Court is really good at thinking of ways to earn our money. Hurry up and find someone to install the wires.”
Even though that was what she said, compared to the price of charging the headlamp, she was more willing to go to the beach to pick up seafood.
Luo Da hurriedly went to ask someone. After a while, he returned dejectedly.
Old Master Luo asked, “How is it?”
Luo Da shook his head. “We didn’t sign up previously. Now that we’re signing up, we’re placed on the waitlist behind everyone. We’ll have to wait for at least a month.”
Old Madam Luo widened her eyes and said angrily, “They agreed that if the people have needs, they will resolve the problems for us. These officials are all f*cking bullsh*t!”
Luo Da lowered his voice and advised, “Mother, don’t say that. The Imperial Court isn’t just servicing for our family. It’s already good enough that they’re willing to put us on waitlist.”
Previously, when the Imperial Court came to visit, Old Master Luo kept saying that he would not install wires even if he died. He cursed and offended the district head. When Luo Da went to look for him, he felt embarrassed.
Old Madam Luo snorted and said angrily, “Go and ask again. Our family needs it urgently.”
Luo Da sighed. “Mother, don’t make things difficult for me. There’s no one in our family who can talk to the higher-ups.”
Old Madam Luo panicked. “Then what should we do? We can’t charge it at home. If we take it to the shop to charge it, it will cost us 10 copper coins at a time!”
If she had to charge every day, wouldn’t it cost three taels of silver a month?
Others had already said that it would definitely be cheap if it was charged at home.
Luo Da calculated and felt that it was really expensive. If he bought another headlamp now, it would be even more expensive.
If only he had not listened to his mother back then and installed the wires like other families, actually, if he did not use it, it would not have cost him money.
Luo Da sighed heavily and heard Old Madam Luo say happily, “Let’s go to your uncle’s house to charge! We’re all family. It won’t cost much to charge.”
Luo Da thought to himself that Luo Shi was even more stingy than Old Madam Luo. How could he agree to let them charge every day? He might as well spend money to charge in the shop.
Since Old Madam Luo was urging him, he had to pretend to ask. However, he regretted it even more. It was just pulling a wire. Why didn’t he have any foresight back then?
Tuantuan twisted her little body on the bed, her chubby little hands and feet kicking, looking especially effortful.
Yuanyuan was still the same. He was quiet and steady.
In comparison, his sister had completely different personalities.
Noble Consort Ling sat by the bed and looked at the siblings affectionately. She said to Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao, “After three flips and six sittings, Tuantuan is learning to turn things around now.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Let them take their time to learn. There’s no hurry.”
It wasn’t easy for Tuantuan to put one of her small feet over. She twisted her body, but it was really too heavy and she couldn’t twist it. Relying on her toothless mouth, she howled, indicating that she, Tuantuan, would definitely flip over.
Noble Consort Ling’s heart melted. She couldn’t help but remind, “I reckon Tuantuan will learn it in the next few days. We have to make the others pay more attention so that she won’t be suffocated when she flips over.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “Mother is right.”
At night, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao went to see Tuantuan and Yuanyuan in the crib. The little fellows had just drunk milk and were sleeping well. Their small stomachs rose and fell, making them look especially cute.
Bai Wutong smiled. “I guarantee that Tuantuan will sleep crookedly soon.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Tuantuan kicked the blanket and nudged Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan frowned slightly. As if he was used to it, he couldn’t be bothered to open his eyes.
Chu Tianbao covered Tuantuan with the blanket like a father. After a while, Tuantuan kicked the blanket away.
Chu Tianbao covered her again and said gently, “You’re not even obedient when you sleep.”
Bai Wutong recalled that when Stinky was young, he would still attack them at night like a worm. “You were also like this when you were young. Yet you are saying this about our daughter.” Suddenly, she remembered that when she had just picked up Chu Tianbao, he had wanted to climb into bed every day. She couldn’t help but laugh evilly. “Oh no, Chu Tianbao was still like this two years ago.”
Chu Tianbao’s expression paused. He suddenly hooked his arm around Bai Wutong’s waist and whispered in her ear, “I’m like this now.”
He was staring straight at her, hinting at her. How shameless.
Bai Wutong was amused by his cheesy appearance. She said in a low voice, “Big cheesy baby.”
Chu Tianbao was still very proud. “What’s wrong with being a big cheesy baby? My wife likes it.”
Yuanyuan knew that they were loving, but she didn’t expect them to be so intimate. With just a word from his cheesy father, he could dig out a seaside villa with his toes.
Three days later, Tuantuan finally learned how to turn her body sideways. Ever since she learned how to turn her body sideways, she no longer liked to lie down and sleep.
Moreover, every time she turned her body, she would stick close to Yuanyuan. When she woke up at night, she would even kick Yuanyuan.
However, Yuanyuan was so steady. Every time he opened his eyes and glanced at Tuantuan, he would close them again, making Granny Wang say that he was too doting on his sister.
After a few more days, Tuantuan tried her best to turn over. Her entire body was exerting strength, and her head was tilted back. Her face was red from holding it in. Bai Wutong felt that her neck was about to bend, and her heart skipped a beat.
After she lay Tuantuan flat, she kicked her legs hard to express her strong dissatisfaction.
In the end, her hard work paid off. One day, Tuantuan finally succeeded in flipping over.
Everyone was happy, so Noble Consort Ling asked nervously, “Tuanuan has already learned how to turn over.. Why isn’t Yuanyuan reacting at all?”
