Chapter 254 Preparing to Depart

"That, child labor?"

Seeing the little dumpling stir-frying, Shirley Yang's entire body stammered.

Shirley Yang, proficient in all eighteen martial arts, but knew nothing about stir-frying. Good heavens, now seeing a five or six-year-old little loli stir-frying in the kitchen.

Could she not be stunned?

And why did that guy have a white little tail?

"Tuan Tuan learned some skills at Old Master's place, so she's in charge of breakfast."

Hu Bayi explained, and Shirley Yang swallowed.

It was her first time eating food cooked by a child, and it seemed to have a unique flavor.

"Then what's this tail?"

"This is a decorative item she put on intentionally. Children like to play."

At this moment, Zhang Tian spoke, and Shirley Yang nodded as if she suddenly understood, and said no more.

At this time, Tuanzi was happily cooking.

"Hehe, cooking is the happiest thing. When the time comes, the delicious food will surprise them."

The little fellow thought, and she carefully added seasonings.

Her small hands were even a bit flustered as she stir-fried.

Zhang Tian shook his head slightly. He had originally intended to cook, but this guy insisted on cooking herself, so Zhang Tian had to give her the kitchen.

"Forget it, I'll help out."

Zhang Tian shook his head and walked into the kitchen.

At this moment, on the scene.

[Holy crap, this Lunar New Year vibe is really strong.]

[Yeah, sitting at the table with the family, and having a cute Tuan Tuan cooking is really nice.]

[To the previous commenter, don't you find it strange? A fox is cooking.]

[Laughing so hard, Tuan Tuan standing on a stool to stir-fry. Those who don't know would think everyone in the family is useless.]

[Haha, a little fox that can cook, I love it!]

There was a burst of noisy voices on the scene.

But after the noise, it fell silent again.

The Lunar New Year atmosphere nowadays is getting weaker and weaker. Seeing Fatty setting off firecrackers, and even the scene of myriad lights, everyone was filled with emotion.

[Sigh, what Lunar New Year is it? Let's make money.]

[Right, if you don't make money, you won't even be able to afford an electronic firecracker.]

[But it's still quite nice to see the New Year again.]

After a long silence, the people on stage discussed again.

And the meal at Zhang Tian's place was quite good.

Although the little fox's cooking wasn't perfect, it was edible with some effort.

"Mmm, Daddy, how is it? Is Tuan Tuan skilled or not?"

The little fox happily ate the meat she had cooked.

She even licked her lips with her little tongue.

"Not bad."

Zhang Tian said, and Fatty gave a thumbs up.

"Delicious, but a little bit worse than Feifei."

As he spoke, Wang Fei beside him said nothing, simply drinking a few cups of medicinal water.

At the table, Zhang Qilin, Wang Fei, Daoist Yimei, and a series of other people were all present.

After all, it was a reunion dinner, and everyone was quite serious.

A round table was filled.

Zhang Qilin was eating, and Zhang Tian had "forced" him to wear a tiger-head hat.

It was quite similar to Tuan Tuan's, and Zhang Tian had one too, as did Hu Bayi. Fatty had a black tiger-head hat, and Wang Fei's was white.

Well, the family looked quite harmonious. Daoist Yimei, however, felt wearing hats was too childish, so he didn't wear one.

Looking at the cute tiger-head hat on Zhang Qilin's head, Fatty couldn't help but want to laugh.

It still had to be Zhang Tian, otherwise, how could Second Brother wear such a thing?

A group of people were eating, while Wang Fei and Daoist Yimei could only watch and not eat. Wang Fei was indifferent, but Daoist Yimei was extremely greedy.

"Alas, dear disciple, your master is very unhappy. I cannot eat the meal of my dear granddaughter."

Daoist Yimei said dejectedly. Zhang Tian ignored him, always trying to take advantage.

"Daoist, why can't you eat?"

Shirley Yang, not knowing anything, asked casually.

"I'm on a diet recently,"

Daoist Yimei waved his hand and said.

Shirley Yang was instantly speechless and didn't know what to say.

Fatty, on the other hand, pulled Wang Fei's arm, trying hard not to laugh.

Not only Zhang Qilin's appearance but also Daoist Yimei were too funny, and Fatty had a low threshold for humor.

Zhang Qilin was not good at talking. He somewhat awkwardly touched the "Family Reunion" hat on his head, feeling a peculiar sensation.

This was his first Lunar New Year, his first time watching fireworks with everyone, crossing the new year together yesterday, and wearing tiger-head hats.

Well, a very strange feeling.

Although he had forgotten many things, at this moment, he felt he would never forget it.

Zhang Tian was eating dishes and tidied up Tuan Tuan's crooked tiger-head hat.

"Mmm, Daddy, Tuan Tuan can't reach!"

Tuan Tuan looked expectantly at a large chicken leg.

Zhang Tian had no choice but to hand Tuan Tuan a chicken leg, and the group of people laughed heartily.

Soon, the meal ended. Zhang Tian took Zhang Qilin and Tuan Tuan, and Daoist Yimei home.

As for why he brought Daoist Yimei, Zhang Tian could only say that this guy was too thick-skinned.

He insisted on following.

After returning home, because it was Lunar New Year, his mother and father were wearing neat new clothes.

During this period, Zhang Tian surprisingly did not encounter any unfair treatment. Well, Zhang Tian was very happy.

Zhang Tian and the others stayed at home all morning.

As for Fatty and Old Hu, they went wherever they were supposed to go.

Time passed quickly, and in the afternoon, Zhang Tian finally came out of the house.

"Son, Qilin, remember to visit your second aunt's house tomorrow."

His mother exhorted from behind.

"Mom, we have something tomorrow, can we not go?"

"If you don't go, how will you explain it to your second aunt?"

"Also, we old folks finally had a child, and we have to show him off. You dare to disrupt our good deed."

His mother said and made a gesture of "die, die."

Zhang Tian's face darkened, and he had no choice but to nod.

In this era, people still attached great importance to relatives and visits.

Therefore, generally speaking, if one could visit relatives, it was basically a must.

Zhang Tian reluctantly agreed, and for the next few days, Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin visited all the aunts and cousins.

During this period, the spirit tablets in the homes of the seven aunts and eight aunts all shattered. No one knew why.

Soon, three days later.

In the courtyard house.

"Boss, how is it? Isn't this Lunar New Year very comfortable? It's still Lantern Festival in a few days, want to celebrate that too?"

Fatty said with a chuckle.

Zhang Tian gave Fatty a fierce glare.

"Master, come into the house with me. Let's divine a hex to see if there are any dangers going to the desert this time."

"Also, if we go to the desert this time, someone must stay at home. The group is under construction and should be completed in a few months. Therefore, someone needs to temporarily manage the construction and some business matters."

Zhang Tian said. He planned to go to the desert in a few days.

And if everyone in the family went to the desert, it was obvious that the group he had just established would have to be put on hold.

Zhang Tian did not want to delay the progress.

"Uh, Boss, Fatty thinks..."

"My dear disciple, your master intends to stay at home and contribute to your career."

Daoist Yimei spoke before Fatty could finish.

Zhang Tian was stunned. Good heavens, when did Daoist Yimei become so proactive?

Moreover, Zhang Tian's original intention was to have Daoist Yimei stay.

After all, Fatty was a bit unreliable to keep at home, and he couldn't handle the group's business. At least Daoist Yimei had the ability to ward off evil.

And his soul had not yet recovered, so going to the Jingjue Ancient City was a bit dangerous.

Unexpectedly, this guy agreed immediately.

"Master, why?"

Zhang Tian asked.

"Hehe, dear disciple, your master knows well that my abilities are limited, so I can basically not go to that ancient city."

"Moreover, once your master divines for you, I will also enter a period of weakness, and I will be even less able to go."

Daoist Yimei said, and Zhang Tian nodded.

"Old Hu, uh, I don't understand."

Shirley Yang, by following Fatty, had learned Hu Bayi's nickname.

"Master is a Daoist priest, and Boss is also considered a Daoist priest, so they can divine the heavenly secrets together."

Hu Bayi said, and Shirley Yang nodded as if she suddenly understood.

"Amazing, I didn't expect Zhang Tian to be a Daoist priest."

Shirley Yang murmured in shock.

Under Shirley Yang's shocked gaze, Zhang Tian looked at Fatty.

"Tuan Tuan, you and Master will stay home and guard the house too."

Zhang Tian said. Daoist Yimei's expression changed.

With a smile on his face, having his dear granddaughter, wouldn't guarding the house be delightful?

Daoist Yimei quickly looked at Tuan Tuan: "Dear granddaughter, come with Grandpa."

As he said this, he winked at Tuan Tuan.

"Mhm, then Tuan Tuan will stay at home with Grandpa. I'll take Grandpa to play chess at home!"

The little fox said obediently, but her eyes rolled, and a smile appeared on her face. Finally, she had a successor!

And she hadn't had enough fun since coming out of the tomb. How could Tuan Tuan bear to go into the tomb?

"Alright, then Master, you and Tuan Tuan will guard the house, and we will go and see the ancient city."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Master, come inside the house with me."

Zhang Tian said, and the two walked towards the house.

Meanwhile, Fatty took a deep breath.

He had almost said he wouldn't go, fearing he would hold them back.

But since Boss didn't dislike him, why should he give up on himself?

"I must work harder."

Fatty quietly clenched his fist.

He looked at Wang Fei, he had to train harder tonight!
