Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 6 Cute Kids Shopping

"Honey, Xia He just turned one year old. Is it really okay to let him go shopping for groceries by himself?" Sakuni Haruna looked at the little figure in front of her, her eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, our Xia He is different from other children. What's more, with the two of us following him the whole time, nothing will happen for sure." Jiu Nio Ikki hugged his wife to comfort her.

He thought, Shinichi had just learned to walk, but Xia He could already walk very fast, how could these two children be generalized?
Then, he took out a camera from his coat pocket that looked like an antique in Xia He's eyes and said, "We have to record every detail of life. When Xia He grows up, this will be full of memories."

What's more, a child who just turned one year old can go out to buy groceries alone... Fortunately, the Internet is not well developed in this era. If it were in 2024, putting this video on the Internet might really make Xia He Xiao famous.

About ten minutes later, I was less than 500 meters away from home.

Eight hundred houses.

"Wow, what a cute kid!"

The shop assistants looked at Xia He who walked in from the door and exclaimed.

Just look at Xia He wearing a pink bunny-style one-piece baby suit. His bunny ears swing back and forth when he walks. He is so adorable. Almost all the customers in the store are attracted by this cute baby, especially the elderly people, who have smiles on their faces almost all the time.

"Little boy, where are your parents?" A shop assistant leaned over and asked Xia He with a smile.

Xia He shook his head when he heard this, pointed to the basket in his hand and said, "Buy vegetables."

It's normal for children to use reduplication of words.

Especially since he is only one year old now, if he doesn’t act cute now, when will he?

"Buying groceries?"

As expected, after hearing Xia He's soft and tender childish voice, the clerk's own voice also became coquettish: "Then, little boy, what do you want to buy?"

Xia He handed over the note in the basket.

The clerk took it and looked at it: a bunch of spinach, a tomato, a broccoli, and a carrot.

Then, Xia He gently pulled the clerk's trouser leg. After the clerk squatted down, he pointed at the carrot written on the paper with his little finger, made a gesture of crossing it out and said, "This... don't want it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guests around him couldn't help but burst into happy laughter.

at the same time.

"That child is picky about food again." The mother, who was hiding outside the store and holding the handle, said angrily and amusedly.

And my dad was also very happy.

He thought this kid was really smart, just like me when I was a child.

I think he had been scolded by his parents many times for being picky about food.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The clerk walked to the shelf very swiftly. After putting all the vegetables written on the paper except carrots into the basket, Xia He handed the banknote in his hand to her.

"You bought items worth 1650 yen in total. I charged you 5000 yen and gave you 3450 yen in change."

"Thank you~!"

He reached out to take the change, then took out a 100-yen coin and returned it. Then Xia He turned around, picked up the vegetable basket, and hopped away with his two rabbit ears on.

The clerk was left standing there, staring blankly at the coin in her hand.

It was not until a long while later that she finally realized that she seemed to have given Xia He 100 yen more.

"That kid...how old is he?"

She couldn't help muttering softly.

……

On the way back, Xia He pretended not to notice the two sneaky guys behind him. He walked around the street several times as if he was lost and had no intention of going in the right direction.

This made the Jiu Niang couple who were following behind very anxious.

Seeing that his mother was about to lose her temper, Xia He, who had succeeded in his prank, planned to call it a day. However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a young woman sitting on the steps by the river, crying alone.

"Huh? There's a little sister?"

The woman seemed to be in her early twenties, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants. Her curvy figure was displayed to the fullest in this outfit. In sharp contrast to her figure was her delicate face, which was white, pure and lovely without any makeup.

It's simply... the type that Xia He liked most in his previous life!
But now is not the time to admire the other person's appearance.

Why would such a beautiful woman sit here alone and secretly wipe away her tears at a time like this?

She probably, should, perhaps...she didn't want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, right?
Xia He thought about it, then felt around in his pockets, took out the baby wipes that his mother had stuffed into his hands when he went out, and walked forward to hand it over.

"Ok?"

With tears still in the corners of her eyes, the woman subconsciously turned her head and looked at Xia He.

"Where did the child come from?"

She said with some doubt.

Then, Xia He stretched out his little hand, as if imitating the way his parents coaxed him, and patted the woman's back and said, "Don't cry, don't cry."

woman:()
So...so cute!

The originally wounded heart was suddenly warmed by the "bunny child" who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Come, sister, give me a hug."

She couldn't help but hug Xia He in her arms.

Xia He: o((>ω<))o
Feeling the "surge" coming towards him, Xia He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's good to be a child~~
Can you adults kiss and hug beautiful girls as casually as I do?
Just when the woman wanted to kiss Xia He on the cheek, Sakani Haruna, who was hiding nearby, finally ran over and took Xia He back from her arms. "Xia He, why didn't you go home quickly after shopping?" She said in a somewhat reproachful tone.

Mom, you came out at the right time.

Xia He complained in his heart, but he acted cute and said, "Sister... cry... I want a hug."

"What a good kid."

The woman smiled and looked at Sakani Haruna and said, "To be able to raise such a well-behaved child, the parents must be very outstanding people."

"Haha, no way. We didn't teach him anything. He is a sensible kid on his own." Sakuni Haruna waved her hand modestly, but the smile on her face had already revealed her mood at the moment.

This sister is really good at talking and she is pretty. If Xia He can find a daughter-in-law like this when she grows up, then she will have no regrets in her life.

This is what my mother thought.

“By the way, what’s the child’s name?” the woman asked.

"Xia He, it's wine Xia He." The boy's father immediately stepped forward and replied with a smile on his face.

My mother turned around and glared at her husband.

Jiuzao Yihui: "?"

"Xia He? What a nice name."

The woman muttered to herself, then waved at Xia He, "Bye, little friend."

"Say goodbye to your sister."

"Goodbye~"

"We'll have a chance to meet again..."

After she finished speaking, she got on a motorcycle parked on the side of the road and rode away wearing a helmet.

"Don't talk to strangers in the future. What if you get kidnapped? There are a lot of human traffickers around recently, you know?" It wasn't until the motorcycle disappeared at the end of the street that Sakunio Haruna began to educate Xia He again.

"Ah."

Xia He nodded, pretending to understand but not quite.

In fact, I was thinking: If I didn’t know that you two were following me, I wouldn’t dare to talk to strangers.

After all, it's a new account, so you have to be careful.

But looking at her son's innocent and cute appearance, the anger that Sakuno Haruna had just felt disappeared immediately.

Yes, if you tell these things to such a young child, what can he understand?
"Be good, mom will go back and cook for you. Tonight we have your favorite soft tofu."

"Okay~~"

Afterwards, the couple held Xia He's hands, one on each side, and walked on the way home.

The setting sun shone through the building, making the shadows of the three people very long.

"Why did you smile at that woman just now?" Suddenly, Sakuno Haruna asked this out of the blue.

"Where can I have it?"

"You obviously have it."

"I had the wrong wife."

"..."

"Next time, when Xia He grows up a little bit, let him take Rouwan out for a ride."

……

night.

After his parents fell asleep, Xia He quietly got out of the crib in the dark and paced back and forth in the room, trying to get the reward for walking upright 10000 meters as soon as possible.

But who knew that just after leaving for a while:

[Unlock task: Reading]

【Read for 24 hours cumulatively to get rewards】

[Current reading progress: 0min/1440min]

Looking at the words that suddenly appeared in his mind, Xia He stopped where he was and blinked in a daze.

"Reading a book?"

Is the reward for this task to increase IQ?

Xia Hexin said that there didn't seem to be a column for IQ among the several attributes in his panel.

Not a moment later.

study.

Xia He turned on the flashlight, got on a stool, and casually pulled out a mystery novel with an exquisite-looking cover from the bookshelf.

Then he turned to the first page and read for about ten seconds before Xia He finally reacted...
