After traversing ninety-nine times, I'm invincible at growing vegetables!

Extra 6

After Kai Ran's pregnancy officially entered its third month, Shen Minming made a big move.

He bought a motorhome sometime during the day, saying he wanted to take Kairan on a spontaneous trip.

Because of the bleeding that night, Shen Minming had been very careful.

They were afraid that something might happen to Kai Ran again.

Although his intentions were good, it made Kairan feel uncomfortable for a long time.

So, taking this opportunity, he decided to take Kairan out for a walk.

The two set off from Beijing and headed south.

We have traversed mountains and rivers.

Finally, we arrived at the southernmost city.

This is also the secret that Shen Minming has buried deep in his heart.

Back then, Kai Ran also asked Shen Minming if he remembered his home.

Will I go back?

Each time, Shen Minming would laugh it off, saying he had forgotten.

Actually, that's not the case. He knew very well what was going on, and could even describe every street near his home.

He wasn't an orphanage child at all; he was an abandoned child.

The two walked hand in hand in a narrow alley, their neat attire standing out from the surrounding street scene.

The weather in the south is always exceptionally humid, and the view suddenly opens up after walking through the alley.

The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty smell of the sea, wafts into people's nostrils.

On the distant beach, an elderly woman is carrying a basket on her back and walking with difficulty.

A middle-aged man followed in front of him, grumbling unhappily.

He kept urging the woman on.

Shen Minming gazed into the distance in silence, while Kai Ran quietly stayed by his side.

Kai Ran knew that Shen Minming was not feeling well right now.

The woman's lifeless eyes lit up when she saw the two brightly dressed people, and she quickly stepped forward.

Speaking in somewhat broken Mandarin, he asked, "Are you looking for a guesthouse? My place is fine."

Kai Ran smiled and shook his head, directly rejecting the woman's suggestion.

The dark-skinned middle-aged man impatiently urged the woman on in the local dialect.

His gaze lingered on Shen Minming for a long time.

After the two had walked away, Shen Minming led Kairan back to the RV.

After a long while, Shen Minming massaged Kai Ran's slightly swollen feet and told her a story.

"Once upon a time, in a small fishing village, there was a little boy who was the second oldest in his family. He had an older brother who was a bit older than him and a younger brother who was sweet-talking.

The little boy couldn't do anything and was exceptionally thin. The old lady next door said that the little boy was born prematurely, which was why he was like this.

It's said that "the eldest child is always the most favored, and the youngest is the least loved." This little boy was the one who was neglected at home.

Every time the boy's mother bought food, she would give some to his older and younger brothers, but never to his.

At first, he would protest to his mother, but he found that every time he protested, his mother would love him less.

So the boy learned to be patient, but his patience did not earn him his mother's love.

One year, a typhoon struck, and the fishing boat that the family relied on for survival was destroyed by the typhoon.

The family was struggling to make ends meet, and one day, the boy's mother suddenly said she would take him to the amusement park.

The boy was so happy that he put on his best clothes, and his mother, even though she frowned, did not stop him.

After all, only the boy in the family could wear that outfit.

The mother took the boy to a dock full of boxes, saying it was too early and the amusement park wasn't open yet, so she wanted to play hide-and-seek with him.

The boy believed it and took a deep look at his mother before hiding a few steps away from her.

He deliberately exposed half of his body so that his mother could find him as quickly as possible.

But his mother didn't come, and the little boy fell into a deep sleep in the container as darkness fell.

Perhaps the little boy knew from that one glance back at his mother that she hadn't come to take him out to play.

Kai Ran felt a pang of pain in her heart; she knew that Shen Minming was that little boy.

She gently stroked Shen Minming's face and asked softly, "Is that little boy still happy?"

Shen Minming paused, his eyes fixed on Kairan's hands: "Happiness, I'm really happy."

The next morning, when Kairan woke up, the two had already embarked on their journey back to Beijing.

I've had enough fun, it's time to go back and rest during my pregnancy.

It's still that small fishing village, and still that same family.

Early in the morning, the dark-skinned middle-aged man went out and saw a familiar set of clothes.

Small, washed until it turned white.

He clutched the clothes to his chest, gazing at the rising sun in the distance, and murmured to himself, "Go, go, and don't come back. Go far away, away from here."

As the leader, he naturally knew when Shen Minming was thrown away.

He overheard his parents' plans that night.

Although he didn't particularly like his sickly younger brother.

But he didn't want him to die either.

So he persuaded his mother to throw the boy onto the dock full of cargo boxes.

Instead of the desolate wilderness.

Because he heard that there was gold everywhere overseas, many people from his village went abroad to make money.

His younger brother was very smart, and he knew he could stand on his own two feet.

Then leave this home far away and never come back.

Even if you don't make a lot of money, at least you won't die in the wilderness.

This was the only thing he could do for his younger brother.

He couldn't tell his parents at the time not to abandon his younger brother.

Because then he would be the one to be thrown.

He admitted that he was cowardly and cunning.

But he was just a child.

His thoughts wandered for a while before he casually tossed the clothes he had picked up onto the ground.

He couldn't let his parents think about his younger brother, or they would be subjected to endless harassment.

Let him be a good guy this time.

He went back inside as if nothing had happened.

"Huh? Whose child's clothes are lying in front of our house?"

"This is so tattered, it can't even be used as a rag." The woman's voice rang out from the doorway.

Perhaps the child she abandoned has long been forgotten in the depths of her memory.

------------------------------

Having said goodbye to her former self, Shen Minming has become more vibrant and clings to Kairan even more.

What was originally expected to be a one-month journey took him a full two months.

When they returned to Beijing, Kai Ran was already nine months pregnant.

She didn't miss a single prenatal checkup along the way, and Shen Minming kept all the records very well.

Getting back to the hospital wasn't difficult at all.

The doctor examined Kairan and found that the child was healthy and had not been harmed by the trip.

It also provided an approximate production time, and the rest of the time, it was sufficient to maintain the status quo.

In the last month, Kairan was always awakened by violent cramps in his dreams.

Even more nervous than her was Shen Minming, who would wake up at the slightest sound.

In just half a month, both of them lost a lot of weight.
