Chapter 210 Learn from others
He Qianqian stood quietly at the door of the dining room, watching the cubs eat.
Sometimes she would be in a trance and couldn't believe it: They were all her children? The empire she had built in more than a year was so magnificent.
Unfortunately, she missed the cub's growth for half a year. But some things must be done after weighing the pros and cons.
Fortunately, orc cubs grow very slowly, so she didn't miss too much, because it takes 18 years for the cubs to reach adulthood and have adult size.
Except for the first three months after birth when the baby grows faster, the growth becomes much slower afterwards.
Unlike the original animals, cats can grow to the adult size of the father or mother after half a year or two years old. When they are sexually mature, they can mate or explore new territories alone.
As for the snake beastmen, their beast form grows even slower.
Even as adults, they are not very large.
The snake beast form is closely related to the rank. After each rank upgrade, the body size will be larger. Until the fifth rank is upgraded to the sixth rank, it is possible for the snake to become a dragon, and the size and shape will be several times larger.
44 kids were eating at the table, and only one adult was needed to take care of it. This was something He Qianqian had not expected, but she was also very pleased.
The first litter of kittens born to He Liyan was raised by her and several beast husbands, and they would carefully teach them the table etiquette on a daily basis.
The cubs in the second and third litters live with their older brothers and sisters day and night, and will imitate them subtly.
Learn from others.
With a good example in front, it is very easy to lead the children behind.
Moreover, the older brothers and sisters would often teach their younger brothers and sisters what to do and what not to do. Over time, the children's behaviors became more and more consistent.
She looked at the tiger and leopard cubs carefully again. After several days of training and adaptation, they ate well.
I used to drink milk from a bottle, and was spoiled by my grandfathers so much that I loved fighting for food.
When I came here, I ate my own food quietly and licked the milk from the plate instead.
Even though his face and body were covered with milk stains from licking, he was still able to finish a meal by himself.
After eating, they would obediently wait for their father to wipe their mouths and bodies.
Lingye stood behind He Qianqian for a long time, watching her smile as she looked at the cub. He saw relief, satisfaction, and guilt in his female's eyes.
"Qianqian! You can never get enough of looking at your own cubs, right? I often watch them silently from the side, and I always think my own cubs are the cutest."
He Qianqian looked back at Lingye and said with emotion:
"You have taught the cubs very well. They are so well behaved and more sensible than I thought. The more I see them, the more I like them."
Lingye put his arm around her shoulders, looked down at her, and said with a smile:
"We cherish every child Qianqian gave birth to. We cherish them so much that we just want to spoil them for the rest of their lives.
But the older they get, the more naughty they become. If you spoil them, they will do anything. Thirty or so cubs were fighting over food, and the food fell to the ground instead of being eaten. They were so dirty that it was hard to clean. At that time, we thought, if you came back and saw them, you would definitely frown.
So, we decided to train them.”
"Well, the cubs should follow the rules. But they should also be given freedom and the opportunity to indulge their nature."
Lingye: "I often take them to play in the farmland. There are tall trees at the edge of the farmland, and they can climb up and down to play as they please."
He smiled and said with a little guilt:
"As a result of letting nature run wild, kittens often get scratched or have their legs broken. There have even been cases where a snake baby has fallen off its entire body."
He Qianqian widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Is the injury serious? Will it affect the future?"
Shaking his head, Lingye said:
"We fixed the bones with a board and removed it in half a month. We think it has healed completely and will not affect the future.
Anyway, they have suffered a loss once, so they will be more careful next time."
Seeing Qianqian's worried look, Lingye continued to explain:
"This is unavoidable. They will learn the lessons they deserve in this life. Sometimes they pretend not to hear their father's warnings, but when they suffer losses, they remember them particularly deeply.
Besides, the sooner you suffer, the better. At least now you have the support of us adults."
"Yeah, I just feel bad. I have wood-related abilities, so I can treat them in time if they get hurt in the future."
Lingye took her hand and walked towards the kitchen, "Qianqian, let's go eat.
Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong used a fish basket to catch a lot of shrimp and fish, and they have all been cooked. "
