My Salted Fish Life in the Beast World

"Squeak!" The door was gently pushed open by Zhao and then closed again.

"Is that Zhao? You came here so early? Don't you have anything to do? I say you are bored, you should go out more often. Maybe you can meet the female you like. What's the point of staying with an old man like me all day long~! Oh~ I say you..."

Dao complained to Zhao as usual. But when he saw Xiaoxiao, he was so excited that he sat up straight. His eyes lit up! "This... this~ is this the daughter-in-law you brought home to me?" Dao pointed at Xiaoxiao with trembling hands and asked urgently.

"Father~!..." Zhao looked at his old father helplessly, speechless. Since when did this become the only topic between them?

"Father~! I'm Xiaoxiao!" Xiaoxiao was quite familiar with the man. She walked past Zhao and greeted Dao.

"Hey~! My son... um? Xiaoxiao?" Dao, who was thanking the Beast God for opening his eyes the moment before, froze instantly when he heard the word "Xiaoxiao".

"Is it the elf Xiaoxiao?" Dao opened his eyes wide, wanting to confirm.

"It's me! Father! I came to see you on behalf of Sister Yue! I also have her letter. She... Are you okay?" Xiao Xiao looked at the old Dao and couldn't help but tear up. She didn't directly tell him about Yue's current situation because she was afraid Dao would be too excited.

"Ah! It's a letter from Yue'er! Quick! Quick! Bring it to me and see it!" Dao was so excited that he was about to stand up.

Zhao went forward and helped him sit down. "Just sit down. Yue'er is fine! I have another piece of good news for you. Don't get too excited after reading it!" Zhao had given him some precautions beforehand.

"Hmph! I've seen all kinds of storms and waves. How could I be scared? Give it to you." Dao glanced at Zhao and snatched the letter paper from his hand.

"This... this~ this..." Even though he had been warned in advance and was mentally prepared, Dao was still too excited to control himself. "Your sister is pregnant! I'm going to be a grandfather again! Hahaha... cough cough cough..."

Looking at his father, who was as happy as a child, Zhao stepped forward and patted his back to help him calm down. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be scared? Take a deep breath~!"

"Go! I'm happy! I'm fine! I want to live to see my grandchildren!"

Zhao: "..."

Silence... Both of them knew that it was not easy to be together in this life!

"Oh! As long as I know they are all safe, I can close my eyes in peace!" Dao sighed.

Zhao moved his lips, not knowing what to say. He was used to bickering with his father. Now he couldn't fulfill his wish. He felt sad.

"Father! Don't close your eyes! You have to open your eyes and look at Sister Yue! I can contact her and you can write to her!" Unable to bear the dull feeling, Xiaoxiao said, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"I can write to Yue'er, too? Really? Xiaoxiao, don't lie to me!" As expected, Dao's eyes widened and he stared at Xiaoxiao with a piercing gaze.

"Of course it's real! Honest to everyone!" Xiao Xiao said proudly, taking out the bag he used to communicate with Yue. "Here! This is the communication bag my grandfather gave me. Sister Yue also has one! We communicate through this bag!"

Dao and Zhao were both curious, staring at the bag in her hand, marveling at its magic, but no one touched it.

"Okay, I believe you! Keep it away quickly! Don't let anyone else know! Remember?" Dao looked at Xiao Xiao lovingly and reminded her.

"Don't worry! My grandfather told me the same thing! You and my brother are not strangers! Hehehe..." Xiaoxiao touched the tip of her nose and assured her innocently.

Looking at the clever and smart girl in front of him, Dao really wanted to take her home and marry her to Zhao. Then he looked at his rebellious son with a bad temper. Oh! Forget it, this blockhead is not worthy of him!

Zhao: "..." "Don't worry! How do you know it's not suitable without trying? I... Oh no! No, why do I feel a little excited inside!" Zhao suddenly got the idea. He was so surprised that his ears turned red without realizing it.

Dao: "Did you see that right? The iron tree has blossomed? This is going to be a good show!" "Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!" Dao looked at Zhao, signaling him to show his sincerity.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you, Father? Is your eye cramping? How about I come and take a look for you! My medical skills are certified by Grandpa!" Xiaoxiao looked at Dao, who was about to cough and gasp, and said with concern. Oh~! It seems that I have to tell my sister about Father's physical condition. It's so serious that Brother's face turned red with anxiety.

Dao and Zhao: "...What a beautiful misunderstanding!"

"Okay! I'm fine. I'm old. I always have some minor problems. Don't worry, I'm not old enough to have blurry eyes. I still want to live and see the little grandson beast! Hey~! If it's a female this time, it will be even more perfect! It just happens to make a good word with Ming!"

"Yeah! I don't know how Ming and the others are doing. How old are Tianbao and Libao?" Zhao continued.

"Okay! Don't worry about it. With Ye here, they don't know how good their lives are! Oh! By the way! Speaking of Ye, have you distributed all the seeds she brought?"

As for people's livelihood issues, Dao always paid attention to them even though he had retired and returned to his hometown. He did not dare to be careless at all. At the beginning, because of the city lord and the beast king, the things sent by Ye could only be kept tightly. He did not dare to leak a single bit.

Things have changed since Ya unified the north and south. First, through Dao's observation, he found that Ya was much more fair and wise than the previous beast kings. Especially for the food and clothing of the orcs, he has been trying and making various efforts. Second, Ya has been with Yue for more than ten years. He must know Ye's secrets very well. The reason why he didn't ask for it was to give himself face. This is also the reason why Dao, after careful consideration, decided to give Ya the things that Ye gave him.

The result did not disappoint Dao. In just a dozen years, under Ya's leadership, there were very few cases of orcs starving to death or freezing to death in the North and South Borders! Since then, Dao's heart, in addition to endless gratitude to Ye, also changed his mind about Ya.

"Don't worry, father! This year's food has been harvested and stored in all cities under my supervision! I guarantee that when the cold season comes, the orcs will have enough food and clothing!" Zhao's face was filled with pride when he mentioned food.

"Well! You must pay special attention to food. This concerns whether tens of thousands of orcs can survive the cold season. Father believes in you! You have been doing a good job!" Dao praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Father! This is what I should do! I will continue to work hard, as always..."

"That's enough! That's enough! I don't want to hear it!" What he was most proud of in the past was that he had a male cub who was full of ambition. The continuation of the glory of the Yue family and the glory of the family are just around the corner! The result is beyond doubt. Zhao did it! But as time passed, Dao became more and more worried about his marriage. When he saw that the dowry he prepared in his space was all covered with dust, Dao realized that his male cub was a blessing in disguise! I wonder if it's too late to clear out the inventory now? Oh! It really broke the heart of an old father!

Seeing his father suddenly throwing a tantrum like a child, Zhao was confused. Huh? He was just talking fine, why did he suddenly change his expression? Hey~! Old child, he really acts more like a child as he gets older.

Looking at the wood sticking in front of him, Dao wanted to turn into a wooden fish and knock it to wake him up.

"If you're fine, just leave. I'm still busy writing a letter to Yue'er! By the way, please treat Xiaoxiao well for me! If I'm negligent in any way, I'll hold you accountable." Dao warned Zhao sternly.

"Xiaoxiao~! Forgive me for not being able to take you out to play in person. I'm old and my legs and feet are not very flexible. Let Zhao entertain you on my behalf. Don't be polite! Just like your own family! You can even call me father. In my heart, you are the female cub of the Yue family!" Dao instantly transformed into a kind old father and spoke gently to Xiaoxiao.

"Okay! I got it! Then my brother and I will go out. We won't disturb your rest. Oh! By the way! When you finish writing the letter, remember to inform me. I will give it to you right away and deliver it to Sister Yue!" Xiaoxiao patted his chest and promised.

"Hey! Thank you, Xiaoxiao!" The kind old father came online.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take Xiaoxiao and find a comfortable yard to live in? Well... just clean up Yue'er's previous yard. Her place is in a good location!" The stern old prophet came online and educated and arranged the cubs without any mercy.

"Okay! I'll do it right away! Bye!" Zhao was speechless. If Xiaoxiao hadn't been here today, he wouldn't have had the chance to see his father's many faces. It was like a monkey changing his face!

Regardless of whether the knife was handed over or not, Zhao was very attentive to the little things. He dismissed all the servants. He personally decorated the residence. It can be said that he was very sincere. His heart was clear, but I wonder if the person he liked could feel it?
