Chapter 1005: Chapter 59: Village Chief, Your Dad is Here_3
 

Big Face Cat waved a big hand:

“Here’s the deal, little bro. First, you come home with me. My sister-in-law has already prepared the meal, and one extra pair of chopsticks won’t matter. Fill your stomach first.”

“Then, after the village chief comes back from hunting, I’ll take you to meet her. If she agrees to let you stay, you’ll stay; if she doesn’t, well… I really can’t do much, little brother. You’ll just have to take this corn, cured meat, and I’ll pack some dry provisions for you later… and continue wandering.”

“Alright then.”

Lin Xian didn’t want to make it tough for Brother Lian.

After all, mooching a meal today and breaking through anew tomorrow is the way to go; plus, going home with Big Face Cat for a meal won’t delay a little chit-chat and information gathering to round out my worldview.

However…

Just as Lin Xian agreed,

Er Zhuzi got anxious right away:

“Big Brother! Are you out of your mind?! How can you bring this kid home? I’m worried about Sister-in-law!”

“Hey, what nonsense is that!”

Big Face Cat laughed heartily and slung an arm around Lin Xian’s neck:

“If he’s a brother I’ve taken a liking to, I trust him!”

Afterwards.

Big Face Cat dismissed the team, saying they would regroup after the village chief returned from the hunt, and everyone should go back home to eat for now.

Lin Xian and Big Face Cat walked towards the north side of the village, heading home to eat.

Lin Xian became very curious.

What were the four members of the Lian Gang planning to regroup for later?

In The Second Dreamland… they had risked their lives in the dead of night to steal stuff from the New Donghai City Waste Treatment Plant.

Could it be another secret mission this time?

So he asked directly:

“Brother Lian, you’ve just loaded up such a big cart full of farm produce, and now you’re waiting for the village chief to return from hunting… what are you planning to do? Is there an event tonight?”

“Heh, what event could there be.”

Big Face Cat laughed casually:

“It’s just that we need to deliver goods to the northern Donghai City. The leader there, Li Cheng, is celebrating the birth of a daughter. He’s going to host a banquet for three consecutive days, offering food to the entire city to celebrate; of course, that will require a lot of food, meat, fruit, spices…”

“So, Li Cheng sent a message to the surrounding villages, saying he would buy these items at the highest market price, not turning any away, hehe. Isn’t this a good opportunity to clear out inventory and make a big profit?”

“Village Chief Yan went up the mountain to hunt, planning to catch a live bear to present as a gift to Li Cheng, because Li Cheng has always taken good care of our villages, and we’re more than happy to do business with him.”

Oh~

Lin Xian uttered in realization.

It seems I’ve overcomplicated my worldview. This world doesn’t actually have that much class struggle, tribal conflicts, or war disputes…

Everyone seems quite happy!

Li Cheng is celebrating the birth of a daughter.

That must definitely be Lee Cheng and Lee Ningning!

But counting the time.

Is Li Cheng only having Lee Ningning now?

It seems a bit too late.

“Why did Lee Cheng have children so late? What was he busy with before?”

As Lin Xian followed Big Face Cat into an alley, he turned his head to ask:

“Is his daughter Lee Ningning?”

“Lee Ningning is the eldest daughter!”

Big Face Cat waved his hand:

“This time it’s the younger daughter, I don’t know what her name is yet… I don’t even know if Lee Cheng has named the little one.”

“Lee Cheng’s second daughter was just born yesterday, and it’s a big celebration in Donghai City. Everyone has been looking forward to Lee Cheng’s feast, starting tonight and lasting three days.”

Hearing that Lee Cheng had another daughter,

Lin Xian couldn’t help but smile genuinely, truly happy for him:

“So it’s his second child. Then Lee Ningning must be very happy too, to have a younger sister.”

After speaking.

He looked up at the completely dark sky and the moon rising from the east.

And he sighed:

“[What a great era it is.]”

The people live in peace and happiness, blissful and healthy.

Lee Cheng, the chaotic hero of the old times, the former leader of Old East Sea, is now settled down and enjoying life, even having a second child.

And celebrating the arrival of another daughter with a three-day feast.

“That’s really nice.”

Thinking of Lee Cheng’s happy family of four, Lin Xian chuckled lightly:

“I’m actually quite envious.”

“What’s there to be envious about!”

Big Face Cat patted his belly dismissively:

“It’s just two kids! As if no one else has them! Come, little brother, this is our place. Let me introduce you to my sister-in-law, and my daughter and son!”

He pushed open the door of the courtyard next to him.

Leading Lin Xian inside.

Into the house.

On the table.

He called Sister-in-law Lian to warm up the food and serve it, and the family began their meal joyfully.

“Welcome, Lin Xian.”

The virtuous and beautiful Sister-in-law Lian came out with a plate of dumplings, smiling at Lin Xian:

“Big Face told me you’ve been wandering here and must be starving. Have something to eat to fill up… and don’t be so nervous when you meet the village chief later, she’s really nice and will surely be willing to let you stay.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Lin Xian took the plate of dumplings and set it on the table.

Then he picked one up with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth…

Hmm.

It’s that familiar taste.

Exactly the same flavor as the plate of dumplings he had eaten one and a half years ago in The Second Dreamland.

This made Lin Xian feel somewhat nostalgic.

Never expected.

That in such an increasingly dire Dream World, he would see Sister-in-law Lian again.

Meanwhile.

Big Face Cat’s son was wolfing down his food.

Before Lin Xian even swallowed his one dumpling, the boy had already finished five or six.

“Hello, Little Face Cat.”

Lin Xian patted Little Face Cat’s head and pushed the plate of dumplings towards him:

“Take it easy, I’m not competing with you.”

At this moment.

Big Face Cat’s daughter also came out from the inner room, sat at the dining table, and picked up her chopsticks:
