Chapter 473

However, it soon seemed to realize something. Its two furry big black hands covered its mouth, forcibly swallowing back the sound that was about to come out.

He Zhiran was relieved to see Rice Ball being obedient, and reached out to touch its head.

Receiving its owner's leniency, Rice Ball regained its lively appearance. It scooted forward, wrapped its arms around He Zhiran's calves, and stretched its head high to look at the little baby in her arms.

As it watched, it lowered its little head over and stuck out its tongue at the same time.

He Zhiran knew that Rice Ball's actions showed that it liked Zhu. However, the way Rice Ball showed its fondness was not yet suitable for Zhu.

"Rice Ball cannot do that. He is still too young."

Rice Ball stopped its actions in frustration, clearly feeling its owner was very disappointed.

But soon it changed its target, climbed onto the baby bed where Mingzhu was lying, and stuck out its round, plump head to watch from there.

He Zhiran did not mind Rice Ball liking her pair of children, as long as it did not have any excessive actions, she would not stop it.

From Rice Ball's eyes one could ascertain that it really liked the two little ones.

Mo Jiuye came back with milk powder. Although the composition was different from the Puppy Milk that it usually drank, the milky aroma was exactly the same.

However, it could feel that these two bottles were for the little babies.

If it were in the past, as soon as it smelled this scent, it would have rushed over to hug Mo Jiuye’s legs.

Today Rice Ball forcibly endured it, only looking at them yearningly with its little eyes, which still moved He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye stroked its head.

"Rice Ball's puppy milk has to wait a little bit."

As the father of the two babies, he wanted to personally go feed them himself, not to mention his wife’s body was still very weak now, unsuitable for doing these things.

Rice Ball understood everything, uh-huh'ed twice, and then obediently sat to one side watching. He Zhiran was about to take a milk bottle from Mo Jiuye's hand, but was refused by Mo Jiuye.

He held a milk bottle in each hand, and separately brought the nipples to the two babies' mouths.

The two babies were indeed hungry, immediately sucking on the nipples to start eating.

Seeing this, Rice Ball arduously climbed onto Zhu's little bed, standing on the edge and reaching out to take the milk bottle in Mo Jiuye's hand.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran looked at each other, both guessing Rice Ball’s intention.

He tentatively let go of his hand, giving the milk bottle to Rice Ball.

Rice Ball’s furry claws grabbed the milk bottle tightly without the position changing at all.

This scene made He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye laugh.

He Zhiran fondly rubbed Rice Ball's head.

"Rice Ball can't speak, but understands everything."

"Uh-huh..." Rice Ball responded very cooperatively, and continued to attentively feed Zhu milk wholeheartedly.

Only after the two little ones were full did Mo Jiuye make more puppy milk for Rice Ball.

Rice Ball rushed happily to one side to drink milk. Looking at the two sleeping children, He Zhiran said:

"It's not a long-term plan for us to always run into the space to feed the children."

Mo Jiuye also had this in mind.

"Why don't we change the packaging of the milk powder and take it outside the space."

"Can you explain where the milk powder comes from?" At the moment, He Zhiran really did not have the energy to consider these things, after just giving birth she was exhausted.

Mo Jiuye was already used to being a scapegoat.

"Didn't you notice when we asked the two mothers to go out before feeding the children? Mother should have noticed something. Even when mother-in-law was still hesitating, she took people out. You may not have seen that when Mother left, she also gave me a reassuring look."

"Do you mean Mother found out my secret?" He Zhiran felt a little unbelievable.

"Not necessarily. They must be aware that we often have some inexplicable behaviors, but Mother won't say anything or ask anything." Mo Jiuye explained.

"According to what you said, as long as Mother can help explain it, the matter of us taking out milk powder can be considered passed?" He Zhiran asked.

"Well, we don't really need to explain much. I just thought, milk powder is made from cow's milk after all. Our family raises so many dairy cows, and once they start producing milk, the quantity must be considerable. Moreover, from my understanding, it's not easy to store cow's milk, especially in this hot summer weather, it would probably go bad in a day.

Although the Mo Family does business extensively, dairy products like milk are not easy to transport over long distances for sale either.

I've looked at the space console before, it can process milk into milk powder. Why don't we use the cow's milk to start a milk powder business? Not only does milk powder taste good, it's easy to preserve. I believe that working with the Mo Family, we will certainly earn a lot of income."

After listening to Mo Jiuye's words, He Zhiran felt like her mind was enlightened. She had not expected that a military general who went to battle could now have business acumen.

"Husband, your method is really good, how could I not have thought of it?" He Zhiran couldn't hide the delight in her tone at all.

She continued: "Using the console to produce milk powder is not a long-term solution. We can buy a book on milk powder production methods from Taobao later and learn it. When the dairy cows start producing a lot of milk, we’ll open a milk powder workshop."

This was a business that could easily make big money with eyes closed.

It must be known that in Da Shun, due to the scarcity of milk, the selling price had always been very high.

Moreover, people could not drink milk whenever they wanted.

The reason was simple: Da Shun did not yet have the dairy cow breed. Even if people occasionally got to drink cow's milk, it was the small amount of supply produced after those yellow cows gave birth to calves.

As long as they successfully produced milk powder, it would be difficult not to make money.

"Well, I’ll handle it when the time comes. You just focus on recuperating."

Considering there might be people coming to see the babies outside, the couple dared not stay in the space for too long.

After He Zhiran changed the packaging of the milk powder to bamboo tubes, she took some and left the space.

The family of four had just appeared in the room when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Madam, the kitchen has just prepared millet porridge and eggs for you. Lan Er has brought them in."

He Zhiran patted her chest and whispered to Mo Jiuye, "Fortunately we came out from the space."

It seemed that with these two babies, it would be almost impossible for them to freely go in and out of the space in the future. Because there would always be someone coming to see the babies at any time. If someone found them not in the room, it would really be hard to explain.

Along with Lan Er was Madam He.

She first walked over to He Zhiran and asked caringly: "Ran Ran, are the children full?"

He Zhiran raised the two unwashed glass milk bottles to her mother's face.

"Mother, look, they've finished all the milk that was prepared."

The reason why He Zhiran dared to take out the milk bottles openly was because glass was no longer a scarce item in the Mo Family home.

The windows of all their courtyards were made of glass, and there were also foreigners acting as scapegoats.
