Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

The four returned to the school in silence. The moment the gate opened, Ji Han saw Ji Laosan and his wife standing not far away. He smiled broadly.

"Father, Mother, Ayu and I are back."

Ji Laosan strode over, picked Ji Han up in one scoop, and even gave him a little bounce, as if to confirm his weight.

“Our Ahan has gained weight again; if she eats any more, she’ll turn into a little pig.”

Before Ji Han could speak, Shi Shaoyu, who was standing next to him, was already dissatisfied. It wasn't because he and Ji Han had a good relationship, but because they were the same age, and he was nearly ten pounds fatter than Ji Han. If Ji Han was a pig, then Shaoyu would definitely be the fattest pig in the herd.

“Uncle Ji, Ahan isn’t fat at all. My mother was saying the other day, ‘Ahan eats a lot, so why isn’t he gaining weight?’ So, Uncle Ji, Ahan is still too thin. He should eat more.”

Looking at the little boy's earnest attempt to lecture him, Ji Laosan suddenly lost all his principles.

"Ah, yes, yes, young master is right. Our Ahan is still too thin. We'll have to trouble you to make sure Ahan eats more every day."

The young master was very satisfied with the answer and gave Ji Laosan a look that said he was a promising young man. For a moment, everyone in the courtyard was amused by his proud little expression and burst into laughter.

Ji Han and the others went out for a stroll, and it was getting late. After a while, the two of them were led to get ready, and when they came back, the banquet on the table was about to begin.

In the Tianqi Kingdom, children are considered to have left childhood after the age of three, and are then called "chuitiao". To put it simply, children under the age of three are particularly prone to dying young. Generally, a child is considered to have truly survived after the age of three. Therefore, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's third birthdays were much more lively than before.

Today, those who came to celebrate their birthdays included not only Scholar Shi and Mr. and Mrs. Ji, but also close relatives from both families. However, none of the children from the Ji family came; it was said that they were all forced to stay at home by Madam Li.

Apart from some friends he made after arriving here, no one from either the Shi family or the Zhou family (where the scholar's wife was from) came. Instead, many shopkeepers from well-known shops in the county town came. It was only then that everyone realized that these shops were all under the Shi family's name.

Everyone carried their own gifts as they entered the Shi family's gate. Due to the large number of people present, the banquet was held in the small square in the front yard, a place usually used by the children for exercise during class.

The small square was already filled with guests. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were led by Shi Xiucai to the newly erected stage at the front. Shi Xiucai first thanked the guests present, and then expressed his implicit expectations for the two children.

May my son and Xiao Ahan be safe and sound every year, healthy and have a bright future, and live as long as the pine and cypress!

Everyone was used to Shi Xiucai mentioning Ji Han in his blessings. When Ji Han was first brought to the Shi family, almost everyone thought that the Shi family had found a playmate and servant for their young master. However, after observing the Shi family's attitude, everyone realized that the Shi family was really raising Ji Han as a young master as well.

It can be said that Ji Han has everything Shi Shaoyu has, and sometimes Ji Han has things that Shi Shaoyu doesn't. In fact, the Shi family's actions are very puzzling to outsiders. Perhaps only Shi Xiucai and his wife, and Ji Laosan and his wife, know the specific reasons behind this.

After the blessings were given, it was time to start the banquet. At the head of Ji Han's table was Old Man Ji, who was, after all, the elder. To his right were Ji Lao Da, Ji Lao Er, and Ji Lao San. To his left were Shi Xiucai, the two birthday celebrants, Shi Shaoheng, and Ji Chun.

At the table were a few men of all ages, and surprisingly, it was Shi Shaoheng and Shi Shaoyu who were warming up the atmosphere. Ji Han looked at this scene and suddenly felt like laughing. When Shi Shaoyu, who was sitting next to him, saw Ji Han laughing, his own smile became even more silly.

After their third birthday, the Shi family indeed relaxed their supervision of Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu a lot. Although they were still watched when they went out, at least they were allowed to go out.

The two of them officially began their journey to earn points.

After some discussion, Ji Han and Lu Ran decided to use the peach grove not far ahead as the first shot.

Back in the previous virtual world, Shi Shaoyu was at least a science writer. He had written about grafting knowledge, but he hadn't actually practiced it much.

To raise enough money to buy the peach orchard, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu entrusted Shi Shaoheng to sell most of the valuable gifts they had received over the past three years at the town's pawnshop. Of course, they still had to ask Shi Xiucai to handle the purchase of the orchard.

Shi Xiucai was very curious about the two little ones' recent actions, but every time he asked, Ji Han and the others would be mysterious and not explain. However, he had plenty of patience and would find out the answer sooner or later. Therefore, he readily agreed to the two children's request and even put the peach orchard under their names.

With the peach orchard in hand, and March being the best time for grafting, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu specifically inquired with the Shi family's steward, Uncle Nian, about where there were peach trees in the vicinity that bore large, sweet fruit, and then headed straight for their destination.

Our first destination was in town, at the home of the wealthy Mr. Li.

According to Uncle Nian, the Li family has a peach tree that produces large, sweet fruit with a unique fragrance. It is famous not only in Linshui Town but also throughout the entire Mengzhou Prefecture. However, the Li family takes great care of the peach tree and will not allow their two children to pluck the branches.

Because of Li Yuanwai's status in Linshui Town, Shi Xiucai also accompanied Ji Han and the others. Xiucai first apologized for his sudden visit, and then explained his purpose by presenting his visiting card.

The gatekeeper went to the front yard to report, and soon the eldest son of Master Li came to greet them personally. Scholar Shi and Master Li exchanged pleasantries, and after they arrived at the main hall, they began to discuss academic issues. By the time they finally got to the point, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were almost sleepy.

"Brother Li, the reason for my unauthorized visit is that my son wishes to borrow some of your peach buds."

Then, under Li Dashao's questioning gaze, Shi Shaoyu rattled off a string of words, explaining clearly why they wanted to borrow the tree buds and what they would use them for.

These two adults in the hall are just too slow!

Young Master Li was amazed by the child's boundless imagination, and even more amazed that Scholar Shi would be so foolish for the sake of the child. Yes, foolish, but out of consideration for face, he still sent someone to consult the old ancestor in the backyard.
