How to raise a random guy's wife

“It’s because of the fur that it looks chubby.” Eriri reached into the wool. “Look, the fur is so thick.”

"Wow!" Xiaolin Lan also put her hand in. "It's so warm!"

Kobayashi Sora observed cautiously from the side and found that the sheep were still grazing on their own, which reassured her somewhat.

That makes sense; in a pasture where people can play, these sheep should already be used to contact with humans.

“Because it’s very warm,” Kobayashi Megumi took the opportunity to teach her daughter some common sense, “so you can use these fibers to make blankets and clothes.”

"Fur and clothes..." Kobayashi Ran mused, then looked at the rice cake.

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "The fuzz on the rice cake won't do."

“Oh right, the rice cakes are much smaller.” Ran Kobayashi realized the reason herself, “And the rice cakes are round because they are really plump.”

Rice Cake: "Meow?"

In other words, the big cat can't talk, otherwise...

Forget it.

Tong Yan Wuji.

Because of Kobayashi Ran's voice, the sheep that were grazing looked up at her.

"Ugh!" Kobayashi Ran was startled and pulled her hand away to hide behind Kobayashi Sora.

Now only Eriri is left with her hands still stuck in the wool.

Eriri: "Huh?"

Withdraw your hand.

Kobayashi Sora put her arm around her daughter's small shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Linlan looked aggrieved, "Its eyes are so strange..."

"Strange?" Kasumigaoka Utaha observed carefully and discovered the problem. "I really hadn't noticed before, but the pupils are square."

"These are amazing eyes! Different animals have different eyes. Aren't rice cakes' eyes different from ours too?" Kobayashi Sora explained. "Sheep's eyes can see more clearly at night and also see a wider area than ours."

Chapter 656 One Two Three Four

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xiaolin Lan approached the sheep again. "Your eyes are very sharp. Don't be sad."

"Baa~" The sheep wasn't sad to begin with.

Xiao Linlan diligently pulled grass for the sheep to eat, and earnestly instructed them, "Eat well, Lanlan's clothes this year will depend on you."

Eriri took out her sketchbook and sat on the hillside to start sketching.

By the time Ran Kobayashi got tired of playing, her sketch was basically finished.

The remaining task is to address the main objective of our visit today.

Milking experience.

The first session is at 11:00 AM, and the second session is at 1:00 PM.

The cost is 700 yen per person, and ice cream is included free of charge.

Go to the service center to register, and staff will provide assistance and guidance.

Ran Kobayashi looked up and asked, "What a big house! Do elephants live inside?"

“It’s a cow,” Kobayashi Megumi corrected.

"May we visit Niu's family?"

Kobayashi Sora consulted a staff member and received an affirmative reply, "Then let's go take a look."

Xiaolin Lan led her mother into the big house, where two rows of cows came into view, their gentle gazes meeting hers.

"Wow...so big!" Xiaolin Lan was stunned. "Are they even more edible than sheep?"

"Probably," Eriri guessed. "Utaha can eat more than me."

“You’re not eating enough.” Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her, then turned her gaze to the cow.

Although she drinks milk often, this was the first time she had ever seen so many cows in person.

Thinking about it carefully, if she hadn't come with Xiaolin Lan, she might have drunk milk her whole life and never even seen a cow.

"Meow~" Nian Gao was not frightened at all. She walked with her cat-like steps and opened her mouth to approach, distinguishing the scents as she passed by the cow with great majesty.

The cow curiously tried to nuzzle the cow, but was slapped away by the rice cake without any politeness.

"Don't hit the cow!" Xiaolin Lan warned Nian Gao. With the cat's company, the little girl dared to approach the cow and reached out to touch it. "Mommy, I touched it!"

“Yes,” Kobayashi Megumi praised, “Lanlan is so brave.”

"Hehe~" Xiaolin Lan was laughing happily when the cow mistook her hair for grass and stuck out its tongue to curl it.

Xiaolin Lan was startled and took a step back to avoid it.

Still shaken, Kobayashi pointed at the cow and looked at Nian Gao, saying, "Hit it."

Kobayashi Megumi: "......"

"I'm ready—" a staff member called out, "Please come over, everyone!"

"Oh!" Lin Lan excitedly agreed, taking her mother's hand and following the aunt in work clothes.

"Here, here~" The aunt put on her gloves, with cows grazing beside her and a small stool and a cow bucket in front of her. "There are five of you, right?"

Ran Kobayashi raised her hand, "One!"

Eriri understood instantly, "Silly!"

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "Three~"

Kobayashi Sora raised her hand, "Four."

All eyes were on Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha reluctantly agreed, "Five."

Ran Kobayashi concluded, "There are five!"

"Okay~" The aunt reached out and touched the cow's back. "Next, I will explain how to milk the cow."

As she spoke, the aunt bent four fingers, with her thumb pointing down.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmm?"

The aunt shook her thumb. "Let's use this to simulate it." She then brought her other hand close to her thumb. "First, please use your thumb and forefinger to grasp it from above. Then count to five, and grasp it in order with your fingers. Finally, release your hand and repeat the same steps. Did I explain that?"

Ran Kobayashi realized she felt like she was in kindergarten. "I get it!"

Inspired by Xiaolin Lan, the aunt's voice also became adorable, "Can the baby do that?"

"Yes!" Xiaolin Lan answered loudly, "Lanlan can count to 5, so she can do it!"

The aunt smiled and said, "Lanlan is so great!"

“I can count to five too,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said. “I can do it too.”

Ran Kobayashi's eyes lit up as she looked at the others expectantly.

“I…I can count to five too,” Eriri said, her face flushed. “I can do it too.”

"I can count to five too," Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi said confidently. "I can do it too."

"Ah... um..." the aunt paused, "You guys are really great too..."

Eriri glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Under her aunt's patient guidance, Xiaolin Lan began a completely new experience. Counting aloud, Xiaolin Lan curled her fingers, "One, two, three, four, five—huh?"

There was no response, and Xiaolin Lan turned to look at her aunt in confusion.

"Clench your top finger tighter," the aunt instructed, "a little tighter, it's okay, and then move a little faster."

"Hmm..." Following her aunt's instructions, Xiaolin Lan said, "12345—Wow!"

The little girl looked at her mother excitedly, "It's out!"

"Mmm!" Kobayashi Megumi was also seeing it for the first time. "Ranran is amazing."

Ran Kobayashi happily repeated her previous actions, and the bucket filled with more and more milk. "It looks like milk!" she exclaimed.

Eriri spoke up, "This is milk."

"Huh?" Ran looked at the bucket, then at the cow, then at Utaha Kasumigaoka, and then at her father.

Kobayashi Sora nodded.

Ran Kobayashi exclaimed, "It really is milk!"

Eriri: "......" Am I really that untrustworthy?

Lin Lan's little hands were itching to reach out, "Can I drink it?"

"Not yet," the auntie replied. "You can't drink milk that's been squeezed out directly. It's not sterilized, and you'll get sick if you drink it."

Ran Kobayashi blinked. "Eliminate... um... the illness?"

Kobayashi Megumi reminded her, "Ranran hasn't washed her hands yet."

"Oh right, never mind then." Ran Kobayashi continued her diligent efforts, and the milk in the bucket gradually increased.

"Phew~" Raising her little hand to wipe non-existent sweat from her forehead, Xiaolin Lan let out a long breath, "The rest is up to everyone."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nudged Eriri, "Go."

Why me?!

"Who was that just now?"

"I'm... okay." Eriri approached the cow somewhat timidly, and upon closer inspection, she felt that the cow was even bigger.

"Don't be so nervous," the aunt said, suppressing a laugh. "It's alright."

"I...I know." Even as she said this, Eriri still nervously swallowed.

"Eri-chan's mom," Ran Kobayashi earnestly reminded her, "you can't drink it even if you're craving it."
