Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder! Chapter 375 - 4: Child-Rearing Strategy (Part 4)
Li Shuning, although possessing the Qiankun Ring with substantial supplies inside, still needed to buy stuff, as her Qiankun Ring didn’t contain everything.
On the day of the market, Li Shuning took her child to the marketplace.
The original owner used to carry the child directly, almost dropping the child at the market due to the child’s weight and lack of assistance.
Li Shuning, fortunately, had the strength, and her body had rged with the second level of Qi Refinent Realm cultivation, making carrying a child a breeze.
Nonetheless, she retrieved a dedicated baby sling from the Qiankun Ring, which was different from a baby waist stool; it was rely a strip of cloth with a ring-shaped object, looking rather ordinary.
The waist stool for carrying babies was quite conspicuous.
After wrapping the baby snugly in the sling and carrying the baby in front, Li Shuning headed to the market.
Her use of this was solely to prevent giving that person an opportunity.
Carrying a child often cos with inconvenience; once things are bought, they’re hard to hold, and the child might slip down.
Now her hands were free and there were no worries about the child, she definitely wouldn’t give others an excuse easily.
Even though it was just a simple sling, when Li Shuning walked through the market with the child wrapped in it, she caught the attention of quite a few people.
Many won felt a sudden realization, finding the thod ingenious.
Previously, people would use straps to tie the child to their backs, but it was uncomfortable for the child; they couldn’t see behind them nor check the child’s condition.
Carrying the child like Li Shuning did was convenient for both the mom and to observe the baby’s situation easily.
Several people approached to learn from her, asking Li Shuning how she did it, and she happily explained it to them, suggesting they use wood to create two rings and attach them to the cloth. This allowed the rings to clasp each other securely, ensuring the child wouldn’t fall.
The conversation drew quite a crowd around Li Shuning, with so even helping her carry items.
Especially those families with children near where Li Shuning lived; they warmly assisted in carrying items to her ho.
After all, there were few who could buy many things to bring ho nowadays.
Li Shuning gave her thanks with a smile and grabbed a handful of candies to share with the children they brought along.
The mothers were shocked; candies, oh dear, they felt sowhat embarrassed.
But Li Shuning enthusiastically handed them over.
Both parties felt quite happy.
The original owner had been imrsed in her own world, treating the town’s people aloofly; she ventured out without any smile, and due to her background, the townspeople dared neither offend nor approach her.
When Li Shuning arrived, just a simple baby sling bridged the gap between her and other mothers.
Tao Xiaoxiao, hidden in a corner, saw the crowd around Li Shuning, feeling a bit irritated, needing a reason to get close to this woman.
She previously thought a woman with a child out in public would surely have difficulty, at which point she could lend a hand, gaining the woman’s goodwill, but now that didn’t seem possible.
In the plot, Tao Xiaoxiao approached the original owner at the marketplace.
Two days later, Li Shuning was preparing so baby food, working on a fish by removing bones and mashing it into fish puree, when she heard a knock at the door.
After putting in so water, ensuring it wouldn’t burn, and lowering the heat a bit, she answered the door.
Standing at the door was Tao Xiaoxiao.
Upon seeing Li Shuning, Tao Xiaoxiao smiled brightly, "Sis, I’m Tao Xiaoxiao. I wanted to ask about the baby carrier you used at the market earlier; I have a young niece at ho, and it’s quite inconvenient to work. If you have a good thod, could you teach ?"
Li Shuning smiled and nodded, inviting Tao Xiaoxiao inside.
As soon as she entered, Tao Xiaoxiao slled a delightful aroma—there seed to be the scent of eggs and fish.
"Are you cooking, sis? Slls delicious."
Li Shuning nodded, "Yes, I’m making sothing for the baby."
After that, Li Shuning took out the baby sling and explained to Tao Xiaoxiao how to use it, while Tao Xiaoxiao, captivated by the aroma, found her thoughts wandering.
She thought of stalling for ti, hoping the woman might invite her to stay for lunch?
After finishing the explanation, Li Shuning noticed Tao Xiaoxiao lingering with a dazed look and scoffed inwardly, "Sister, do you have anything else? I’m busy preparing food for the baby, so please pardon my lack of hospitality."
Tao Xiaoxiao quickly responded, "No worries, sis, continue with your work. I just want to observe more closely because I’m a bit slow and might forget later."
"Then continue observing, while I prepare food for the baby to prevent the little one from getting hungry soon."
The child lay awake in the crib in the living room, quietly without fuss, looking adorable.
Li Shuning entered the kitchen, extending her spiritual power to continue monitoring the outside; the child was still out there, who knows what that woman might do.
Noticing everything had almost cooked through, Li Shuning promptly stored all the food intended for herself in the Qiankun Ring.
She was cooking rice, with stead egg custard atop it. The rice cooker in this world resembled the old-fashioned dual-layer rice cooker from the real world, so she simply placed the whole thing into the Qiankun Ring.
Originally, she planned to fry an eggplant, but now wasn’t in a hurry.
The fish puree stew for the baby was ready, and after taking it out, she grabbed a small spoon and went to the living room.
Tao Xiaoxiao quickly detected the richer aroma.
She approached eagerly, eyes shining, "Sis, what is that? It slls amazing."
"This is fish puree, boneless and mashed; it’s specially prepared for the child."
The baby loved it, taking a small spoonful and happily eating, giggling as they enjoyed each bite.
Tao Xiaoxiao’s mouth watered, wondering, is it really just for the child? She couldn’t make sothing like this herself.
In her ho, even eggs are scarce, let alone fish.
Before long, the baby finished the small bowl of fish puree, and Li Shuning walked around holding the baby, who yawned, appearing sleepy.
Li Shuning glanced at Tao Xiaoxiao, "This woman is truly shaless, still unwilling to leave."
"Little Sister Tao, the baby and I need to take a nap."
Feeling awkward, Tao Xiaoxiao remarked, "You aren’t having lunch, sis?"
Li Shuning looked at her with curiosity, making Tao Xiaoxiao sowhat embarrassed.
"Sister Tao, I and the baby’s al tis aren’t very regular; usually when the baby naps, I quickly prepare and eat, and as soon as she wakes, I tend to her, otherwise cooking ti could disappear."
Tao Xiaoxiao felt a sense of disappointnt, soon bidding farewell to Li Shuning and leaving.
Li Shuning closed the door, shaking her head, thinking how brazen so people can be.
