Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 355 Tiger Brother's Little Tiger

The next day, Zhou Shixun walked out of the villa, his head still throbbing from a hangover.

"Chuwazi, this Japanese country—no, it should be called Huapu City—has already become part of our Great Xia territory. You have made a great contribution this time, but we will discuss the specific rewards after Fang Shuzhen returns, shall we?"

Chu Chen shook his head after hearing this: "Uncle Zhou, we can talk about the reward later. You understand me, I only want the jade essence."

"Alright, in that case, Uncle Zhou will be returning to the capital today. The jade essence will be delivered to Mashan Village from time to time."

Zhou Shixun didn't dwell on the matter of the reward with Chu Chen and immediately prepared to take his leave.

"In that case, Uncle Zhou, please be careful on your journey."

"Um... Chu boy, I see a lot of vehicles parked at the Linhai pier! Why don't we have Chu Yi take us back?"

Chu Chen found it somewhat amusing. Zhou Shixun was being so polite so early in the morning; it turned out he was waiting for him here.

"It's alright, I'll go and call Chu Yi right away."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie.

Not long after, Chu Yi drove a minivan, taking Zhou Shixun and his group towards the capital.

To show that he wasn't stingy, Chu Chen also hired someone from the Honglang Romantic Party in Linhai to bring a truckload of gasoline, which was also taken to Beijing.

He instructed them to teach Zhou Shixun to drive in the capital before returning.

I also gave him a van and some gasoline.

The original idea was to get him an electric car from the space, but the range was not high and the charging current was too large. The energy storage equipment in the palace was not enough.

Therefore, a minivan is the best option for Zhou Shixun.

Imagine the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty driving his divine chariot, carrying a group of concubines, speeding through the mountains and rivers—how impressive would that be?

It's so much better than the old three-wheeled motorcycles.

After seeing Zhou Shixun off, Chu Chen instructed Lü Rongdong to keep an eye on the coast guard vessel, and then sailed his yacht towards Linhai City.

Having been away for so long, it's time to go back to Mashan Village and see the folks there.

Another point is that after the battle with Kato Shimo, Chu Chen also deeply understood a principle.

That is the importance of one's own strength.

If he didn't have firearms, Kato Shimo would have been able to kill himself in no time.

So when Chu Chen returned to Mashan Village this time, he set a goal for himself: he would not leave until he reached the Grandmaster level.

After a day's journey, the car finally returned to Mashan Village in the evening.

Inside Mashan Village, a peaceful scene still prevails. Under the locust tree, the information exchange center has added a game called "Dou Dizhu" (a popular Chinese card game).

The middle-aged women dancing in the auditorium never seem to get tired.

When Chu Chen returned to the villa, most of the people had already gone to sleep.

Looking at the quiet villa, Chu Chen thought to himself that this wouldn't do. He had been busy traveling around for a while and had indeed paid less attention to Mashan Village.

Especially Li Qinglian, a woman who only cared about taking care of the family and never complained.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the vehicle, Li Qinglian put on a coat and went downstairs.

"My lord, you're back! It's so late at night, why didn't you stay overnight in Qingyun before coming back!"

"Haha, I missed my Qinglian, so I came back!"

"My husband is up to his old tricks again!"

Li Qinglian pushed away Chu Chen's outstretched hand and pulled him upstairs to the second floor.

In the room, Chu Chen was washing away the day's fatigue in the bathroom, while Li Qinglian was looking for clothes for him to sleep in.

"Qinglian, your husband has neglected you for so long!"

"What are you saying, my lord? I am just a peasant girl, and I cannot help you with your worries!"

On the bed, Chu Chen held Li Qinglian in his arms, and the two spoke softly.

"Qinglian is so wonderful!" Chu Chen said, then gently kissed her on the cheek.

"My lord, when will you leave now that you're back?"

"We won't be going out for now. By the way, Qinglian, do you have any thoughts or wishes?"

Chu Chen looked at Li Qinglian seriously and said.

"Husband, Qinglian is just an ordinary peasant woman. Her only wish is for our family to live in peace and safety. But if Qinglian can help you leave behind a son or daughter, I will be at ease!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself that this woman was trying to cause trouble, but he had absolutely no such intention at the moment.

Why not just live a carefree and happy life? Why bother having a child? It's so much trouble.

Besides, Li Qinglian and I are only in our early twenties, still young!

But then he thought about it again and he could understand Li Qinglian. In this world, if a woman has been married for several years and has not had a child, most people would say that it is the woman's fault.

Moreover, Li Qinglian has no worries about food and clothing, and if she stays at home idle every day, she will get sick sooner or later.

She is different from Mu Xueqin and Luo Yixiaofang.

Each of them had their own things to do. Xiao Fang managed the shop, Luo Yi managed the accounts, and Li Qinglian seemed to have nothing to do except cook.

As he thought about it, Chu Chen had an idea: to find something for Li Qinglian to do.

So he changed the subject and said, "Qinglian, if your husband were to open a huge shop and you were to manage it for me, would you be afraid of getting tired?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglian instantly woke up from her drowsiness.

She knew perfectly well that her husband was perfect in every way, except that he didn't want children.

But I'm really bored, and the more idle I am, the more useless I feel.

Now that Chu Chen said he had something for her to do, how could she complain about being tired?

"My lord, you tell me, Qinglian isn't afraid of being tired, she's just afraid of being idle!"

"Alright, I'll think about it tomorrow. Go to sleep!"

Li Qinglian was too excited to sleep.

After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally fell into a deep sleep after Chu Chen administered an acupuncture needle.

The next morning, the villa area gradually became lively. After breakfast, Li Qinglian spoke to Chu Chen.

“Husband, Sister-in-law Fengfang from Brother Hu’s family gave birth to a little nephew a few days ago. Now that you’re back, you should go back and visit him.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "That's right. When I took out the playing cards, Feng Fang was already heavily pregnant. Now that I've been out having fun for so long, she's probably due to give birth."

"We absolutely have to go! These are the new generation of our Chu family. Wait a minute, let me get ready!"

After saying that, Chu Chen turned around and went back to the tea room, taking out a lot of baby supplies, clothes and toys from his spatial storage.

He carried two large bags before leading Li Qinglian toward Hu Zi's house.

At this moment, Chu Chen was also happy. The Chu family had two boys, himself and Hu Zi. He had never wanted to have children, which had worried Chu Dazhuang to death. Now that Hu Zi had given birth to one, it made things much easier for him.

"Brother Tiger, come out quickly, I've come to see my little nephew!"

At the door, Chu Chen shouted loudly into the room.

"Hey, Chuwa is back! Come in quickly!"

Chu Chen was welcomed into the room by Chu Dazhuang, and he saw Feng Fang holding a cute little baby in her arms.

So he quickly stepped forward and said, "Come here, Little Tiger, let Uncle give you a hug!"
