Song Tan’s Chronicle - Chapter 140.1

Qiao Qiao had been feeling aggrieved for a long time.

In the morning, he had to play with the puppy, then help with chores, go to the city to sell vegetables, and back home, there was more work to do…

All the way until nightfall when there was no more work to be done. Dad and Mom would go to sleep, and Sister would lock her door to sleep, so he could only go to sleep too.

Although… although sleeping was indeed quite comfortable, still… Qiao Qiao was the cutest when watching cartoons!

He had a small fortune of five or ten yuan in his pocket every day, enough to buy lots of interesting new toys in the city…

But… but ever since he became busy, he hadn’t even watched a single episode of Peppa Pig!

The Ultraman that Sister had promised would be even more exciting — he hadn’t seen that either.

He didn’t understand all of the adults’ conversations, but he could grasp a little — Seventh Granduncle was an elder, and in the future, he’d have to help him with work and learn some new skills.

But, if he couldn’t watch Ultraman already and had to learn new skills, wouldn’t he have no time left for Ultraman at all?

For Qiao Qiao, this was a big deal!

He had held it in his heart for a long time, and now he finally couldn’t hold back his tears.

He cried so miserably, and after just a few sobs, he started to choke. His tears were a mess, sticking all over his brand-new sweatshirt.

Then, between his sobs, he began to accuse the sister he used to adore:

“Can’t I… can’t I just watch one episode a day?”

“I still don’t know what Ultraman looks like…”

“My George…”

His words were incoherent, and he was sobbing pitifully, clearly feeling utterly small and pitiful.

But his heartless sister just felt like laughing.

Song Tan tried hard to suppress her urge to laugh, quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road, and took out a pack of wet wipes to clean up the foolish boy:

“Who said you can’t watch? Of course, you can! It’s just that Sister was busy and forgot before. Can you forgive Sister? We’ll watch it as soon as we get home.”

She spoke so decisively, and Qiao Qiao, being very easy to coax by nature, immediately stopped crying and smiled when he heard this.

Then, he cautiously bargained, “Then… how many episodes can I watch?”

How many episodes does Ultraman have, anyway?

Song Tan thought for a moment:

“How about this, Sister forgot what she promised before, which was Sister’s fault. As compensation, Qiao Qiao can watch two episodes today, and after that, just one episode per day, okay?”

How long was each episode again?

Oh well! Anyway, let’s pacify this silly kid first.

Fortunately, this simple child was easily satisfied. After being coaxed by his unreliable sister, he wiped his face clean with the wet tissue and contentedly began playing with his colorful clay.

The car started up again, and for some reason, the old couple in the back seat seemed to like Qiao Qiao more and more.
