Heaven and earth bear witness, he really wasn’t trying to see how to make Laba porridge more delicious. He simply wanted to bring some Laba porridge home for Candy to try.

As for others’ opinions, Mo Jingchun didn’t care at all.

After all, no one dared to say a word against him.

Eating his family’s Laba porridge, what reason do others have to criticize?

Seeing the boss carrying a basin of Laba porridge back, Zero looked utterly shocked.

Bringing Laba porridge for Candy, Zero could understand, but this basin is enough for Candy to eat for a dozen meals, right?

"Boss, do you really need to bring such a big basin of Laba porridge for Candy?"

Giving Zero a glare, Mo Jingchun placed the basin sealed with plastic wrap on the desk.

"This way I don’t have to cook dinner tonight. Who said it’s just for Candy?"

At the moment, with no one around, Mo Jingchun asked, "How are the satellites running these days?"

"Everything is normal, and the photos taken are super clear when the weather is good."

To demonstrate, Zero directly projected a magnified image taken when the satellite passed over Candy Technology onto the computer.

Zero chuckled and pointed at a human figure in the photo, "Boss, look, Hawkeye lying on the rooftop was captured clearly."

"It’s a pity that our satellite orbits are fixed; otherwise, I’d want to take a look at those mystical areas rumored to be hiding secrets."

Looking at the picture, Mo Jingchun’s mouth curled slightly, "There will be opportunities, it’s just a matter of launching a few more satellites."

"Enough of that, I’ve asked you to keep an eye on the Moon, any findings?"

Upon hearing this, Zero retrieved footage taken by the second camera on the satellite, pointing at a section of the Moon base in the footage, said, "Boss, that’s all the satellite captured."

"I was concerned optical remote sensing scans would be detected, so I didn’t activate it."

"But from the excavation volume analysis, our country has dug out a large space underground on the Moon."

After closely examining the continuous image of the Moon base, Mo Jingchun said, "You’re right, being discovered wouldn’t benefit us, just keep an eye on it; I suspect the ’ship’ is underground at the Moon base."

At this moment, Zero shook his head, holding a different view.

"Boss, I don’t think so. They’ve acquired so many raw materials; how could they transport them to the Moon?"

Zero made a valid point, but was the construction of so many Moon bases genuinely just for extracting new substances? Mo Jingchun furrowed his brow deeper.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside; Mo Jingchun promptly deleted the images on the computer.

Before seeing who it was, Zero remarked, "It’s Zhou Yaling."

Sure enough, Zhou Yaling appeared at the office door the next second.

Seeing her brother not taking a nap and no one else around, Zhou Yaling walked in cheerfully.

Looking at the desk with a full basin of Laba porridge, Zhou Yaling giggled, "Brother, you really brought a basin."

"I thought it was just a rumor."

Mo Jingchun crossed his arms, leaning against the desk, sneered, "Then don’t eat it tonight."

"Brother, that’s not right; I’ll take the basin after work!"

Glancing up and down Zhou Yaling, Mo Jingchun nodded, "I think that’s doable."

By evening, the temperature dropped as soon as the sun set.

Holding the basin, Zhou Yaling stood next to her brother waiting for the shuttle bus; in less than a minute, feeling too tired, Zhou Yaling simply placed the basin on the ground.

Mo Jingchun chuckled, "I thought you’d keep holding it foolishly."

He put his hands into his pockets, feeling a slight warmth against the cold.

"I’m not foolish."

"Not foolish, but sometimes your mind turns a bit slow."

Zhou Yaling was just about to retort when her brother said, "By the way, have you settled things with Uncle?"

"It’s already the Laba Festival today, only half a month left."

Glancing toward the monitoring room, Zhou Yaling shrugged and said, "Haven’t had a chance to mention it."

"If you really want to go together, hurry up and talk to him."

"Alright, don’t worry, tomorrow, I’ll talk to the old man at noon."

The next moment, a shuttle bus came in through the South Gate, finally stopping at the entrance of dormitory building number one.

Just off the warm shuttle bus, feeling the temperature difference, Candy shrunk her neck and said, "Brother, get on the bus quickly, it’s cold outside."

Unintentionally, Candy’s gaze fell on the... basin on the ground.

Pointing quickly at the basin wrapped in plastic wrap, she asked, "Brother, what’s in the basin? Looks like eight-treasure porridge."

"It’s Laba porridge; let’s talk at home."

Watching her sister carry the basin away, Candy could only pull Zero onto the bus.

On the bus, Candy curiously asked, "Zero, where did that Laba porridge come from?"

"Where else but the cafeteria?"

"Oh~ but I already had some for lunch, it was just okay."

Zero, who keeps an eye on Candy 24/7, naturally knew that Chengnan Primary School also provided Laba porridge today at lunch, and Candy had two bowls.

Zero made a V with her fingers and said with a smile, "Was it really just okay? I saw you had two bowls."

"I did have two bowls, but it was really just okay."

Clearly, Zero didn’t believe it; if it tasted bad, how could so many students queue up for more Laba porridge?

...

At dinner, Candy tearfully ate two bowls of Laba porridge.

Leaning back in her chair, Candy hugged her bulging belly, not wanting to move at all.

"Brother, the Laba porridge you brought back is still the best."

"It’s all the same."

Burping, Mo Jingchun also leaned back in his chair, reluctant to move.

Needless to say, Zhou Yaling ate the most.

Exchanging glances, the two of them simultaneously looked at Zero, who was goofily petting the cat on the sofa and watching TV.

Feeling their gaze, Zero turned her head.

"What’s up? Why are you all looking at me?"

At this point, Zhou Yaling laughed and said, "Zero, how about helping with the dishes?"

Zero incredulously pointed to herself, "Me!... Washing dishes!"

"Yup yup!"

"Hehe~"

"I don’t even eat; why should I wash dishes?"

Rubbing his belly, Mo Jingchun spoke up.

"A hundred bucks."

Zero remained indifferent.

"Two hundred, no more. If not, I’ll let Feiyan earn this two hundred."

"Deal!"

No choice, it’s really hard to earn a little money these days; she hasn’t had any income for half a month, and even paid for Candy’s takeaway, a huge loss, wasn’t it.

"Wash, scrub~ Wash, scrub~"

Hearing Zero’s cheerful singing from the kitchen, Mo Jingchun realized he was offering too much. If he had known, he would have brought Feiyan into the negotiation at a hundred.

The price was set, but next time, without two hundred, Zero wouldn’t even lift a finger, let alone be expected to wash dishes.

"Sigh... Reckless."

Across from him, Zhou Yaling remained nonchalant; after all, it wasn’t her money.
