Chapter 64
: 28-year-old Grandma Qun'er agrees to join my Zhang family!
"Doli~"
I accept.
"Wow wow~ wow."
Me too.
"Wow~"
This child is very different; I like him.
"Doli".
Say yes, honey, he gave a wonderful answer.
"Wow~"
He's a good child, a good child~
Miss Skirt and the Lily Root Dolls all disagreed; they were all willing to give Xia Ming a chance to prove himself.
They have already felt his sincerity.
"Doli doli, doli~"
Child, we want to believe in you. I think you have other friends you need to invite. Don't worry about us, we remember the way back to the farm.
"Thank you, Miss Skirt, and everyone else, for giving me this opportunity."
Finally, the contract was practically settled, and Xia Ming didn't think he couldn't manage the farm well.
"Yes, I do need to go to other habitats to invite more family members to join this home. By the way, my... girlfriend, she will be in charge of hosting you at the farm. They are currently building a new home there, so for the next few months, you will not be staying there, but at my girlfriend's farm."
"Doli~"
It's okay, kid, I understand.
Miss Skirt waved her hand, then plucked a yellow petal from her neck and handed it to Xia Ming:
"Doli~"
I hope this helps.
Having accepted the gift, Xia Ming knew that the invitation was now a sure thing. Having done his research beforehand, he was well aware of what the flower petal meant.
As mentioned before, there are more than just a group of young ladies in skirts in this mountain range, so why did Xia Ming come here first?
He could easily build a new relationship with another young lady without having to make such a big commitment, right?
Yes, but all of this is worth it in front of this Miss Skirt.
Despite being neither a powerful figure nor very large, she has actually lived for a very, very long time. The person who invited her to that farm was actually the ancestor who appeared at the very beginning of the first page of Xia Ming's family tree.
The following is its information:
Name: Miss Skirt
Rank: 87 (Heavenly King)
Age: 286 years old
Strength Range: Excellent
Qualifications: One in a million
Skills: All learned
Many Pokémon are not much older than humans, with most ranging from 80 to 300 years old. Almost all Bug-type Pokémon don't even live past 40, and only a very few can live to be over a thousand years old or even live as long as the universe.
Grass-type Pokémon are generally around 200 years old, and their lifespan is extended for a period of time after reaching level 80.
The Miss Skirt in front of Xia Ming is such an older Pokémon. She has not experienced many battles and has spent 90 to 95 percent of her life living on that small farm.
But no matter what, having been carefully nurtured by generations, she couldn't be too bad.
With such a kind and loving elder around, what reason would Xia Ming have not to take the initiative to invite her?
She is almost one of the oldest Pokémon on the entire farm.
With her endorsement, inviting other Pokémon that used to live on the farm or finding new families in the mountains will be ten times easier!
This is truly a testament to the veteran's experience.
If Xia Ming's father had been willing to inherit the farm back then, he wouldn't have encountered any accidents.
Danger? Just ask any old ancestor over a hundred or two hundred years old to come along on the farm. Do you think they'll watch him get into trouble?
That's why Xia Ming was certain that her father would never have the face to face them again, and at least wouldn't apologize to them before he turned middle-aged.
………………
After staying for a while, Xia Ming led everyone to say goodbye to the Pokémon and Miss Skirt.
They would pack their things a little and then return to the farm based on their memories.
Xia Ming then went to invite the nanny and her family based on the map.
There's no need for Sweet Cold Beauty anymore; he can't afford to raise that many Pokémon yet. One branch responsible for land and one for plants is the limit.
It's a pity that the Bug-type Pokémon population on the farm has been largely replaced, otherwise it would have been much easier.
The only people Xia Ming knows about besides Miss Skirt's clan are a group of Sprout Deer, a few Swamp Monsters, and a group of Coldwater Monkeys.
These four groups are the core members of the farm, along with some individual Pokémon, all of whom are currently missing.
There are also some Pokémon groups that I know, and their trading routes still need to be re-established.
In short, Xia Ming has so much to do that he could keep busy for two or three years, and he, as the son, also has to slowly pay back the invisible debt his father owed.
"I never imagined you were carrying such heavy pressure, Xia Ming. If it were me, I probably would have run away..."
On the way, Hailey also learned some things from Abigail and Xia Ming.
Abigail also sympathized with Xia Ming:
"My uncle probably didn't choose to become a farmer back then because of these reasons. Taking on such responsibilities would be too much of a test of mental fortitude, and I don't want to follow in my father's footsteps..."
Abigail desperately wanted a younger brother so she could have him inherit the family business.
Xia Ming simply shook his head slightly at their sympathy:
"Everyone has their own choices. I don't feel that farming is a particularly hard thing. With so many Pokémon and people I love by my side, it won't be too bad no matter what I do. And I will do my best to take care of their lives."
"I really envy you, Xia Ming. How about you marry me and let me inherit my father's business? Then you can just let me go on a trip."
"Uncle Pierre would definitely give me a stern warning if he knew you thought that way!"
"Hahaha~"
Abigail laughed heartily, it was unclear whether she really thought so or it was just a simple joke.
The rest of the trip went very smoothly.
With Miss Skirt's petals, Xia Ming successfully signed a [Homestead Contract] with a small group of nanny bugs.
They are small in scale, consisting of only two babysitters, a dozen baby insects, and a few baby insect cocoons.
Upon hearing that Xia Ming was willing to give them a safe new home with food and lodging provided, and with Miss Skirt's endorsement, they packed their bags without hesitation and prepared to move with Xia Ming.
After doing all this, it was only 4:30 pm, which was plenty of time to go back and have dinner.
Since there was enough time, Xia Ming lost interest in camping. Although Abigail was somewhat dissatisfied, she knew when she shouldn't be willful.
So the three of them, along with a group of Pokémon, immediately embarked on their return journey.
【Little Pink】
Xia Ming: The matter is all settled. We're planning to come back for dinner tonight. Did Miss Qun'er and the others pick us up?
Xiao Fen: We've already received you. You're all here at my house now. The welcome banquet is already being prepared, and we're just waiting for you to come back.
Xia Ming: Thank you so much, Sophia's mom! You've really worked hard.
