I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 209 Preparations for "Leaving the Nest"

The evenings in the winter season always come particularly early, and the nights are much longer. Lezhi waved goodbye to Leyou with heavy steps before setting off on the path leading back to his home.

Ever since they returned from the Windwalker Clan, Lezhi had told Leyou that he needed to start learning to be independent, beginning with small things in all aspects of life. So they agreed that Leyou wouldn't have to walk Lezhi to his doorstep anymore, but would say goodbye at the fork in the road leading to their two houses.

He himself had gone through this stage step by step, so Leyou naturally accepted Lezhi's idea of ​​becoming independent.

"I'm back... um~" After greeting him weakly, Lezhi threw herself onto the soft fur-covered sofa, reached out to catch the fluffy ball that rushed into her arms, and closed her eyes to relax as the fluffy ball chirped happily.

"Zhizhi, welcome back." Lei Xiu, who was busy making dinner in the kitchen, brought a glass of still-bubbling cola to Lezhi's side. He was covered in the smell of cooking oil, which showed that he had been cooking just a moment ago.

"Yeah, thank you, Lei Xiu." Hearing Lei Xiu's voice, Le Zhi opened his eyes slightly, thanked him, and then closed them again, as if he had already used up a lot of his strength in just a short while.

"Are you that tired? It's been so many days and you still haven't adjusted. Is the workload too heavy? If you really can't take it, remember to tell the instructor. Don't push yourself." Seeing Lezhi looking so weak and listless, Lei Xiu felt a mix of amusement and heartache.

Zhizhi's physical strength is indeed somewhat poor. It's hard to say whether it's due to a naturally poor physique or inadequate training. Ever since he started participating in the clan's training courses, he comes back every day looking completely exhausted, which is really worrying.

"Don't worry, I know my own body. Besides, I'm not the only one who's tired. Everyone is exhausted. I'll be fine after a night's rest." Knowing that Lei Xiu cared about her, Le Zhi felt comforted and quickly reassured him.

Only after he officially joined the training did he realize what kind of life Leyou and the others had lived before.

Le Jing's previous mental preparations paid off; Le Zhi was indeed assigned to Le Chu's group, and most importantly, Le Zhi had successfully grown wings, completely eliminating the factors that had been giving Le Jing headaches. Now that Le Zhi had fully grown his wings, he naturally didn't need special treatment during training; he would do the same things as his clansmen.

And I don't know how Le Jing manages to keep the intensity of the daily classes just right, exhausting everyone's energy without causing them to overexert themselves. It's like she's a devil.

Keep in mind that there were more than a dozen people in his group. To make such a course arrangement, he not only had to have a clear understanding of the physical strength of the team members, but also had to pay attention to the changes in everyone's physical strength and make timely adjustments. There were many things to pay attention to, but Le Jing did not rely on any assistance and arranged all of them clearly and efficiently by herself.

This terrifying ability to observe and control left Lezhi in awe, especially after he discovered that Lejing would change the course content according to his physical condition each day, which filled him with even greater reverence.

Thinking of this, Lezhi's lips curled into a bitter smile. The fact that the instructor was so formidable meant there was no way to slack off. It seemed that he was destined to be a good student, and even if he were in a different world, his nature would remain unchanged.

"Okay, I trust you know what you're doing. Take a rest. We'll have stewed meat for dinner. Oh, by the way, Le Zhong brought over a vegetable slicer. He said you ordered it from him. I put it in the kitchen cabinet." Lei Xiu got up and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, and told Le Zhi about Le Zhong's visit.

Putting training aside, Lezhi perked up the moment he heard that the vegetable cutter he and Uncle Lezhong had specially ordered had arrived. "What? Really? Let me see."

Lezhi casually put the fluffy ball back on the shelf to stay with the chicks. After resting for a while, Lezhi felt much better and was not as listless as when it first came back.

"Here, this is it. Le Zhong said it's very easy to use. Study it yourself. If you really can't figure it out, go find him." Lei Xiu casually took out the vegetable slicer and placed it on the island counter so that Le Zhi could see it at a glance when he came in.

“Okay…” Lezhi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar vegetable cutter on the counter, fiddled with it for a bit, and immediately understood how to use it. Lezhong understood Lezhi’s thoughts very well and had a superb comprehension ability. Lezhi only gave a few simple descriptions, and he was able to create it out of thin air. He truly lived up to his reputation as a master craftsman.

"Yes, this is what I want. Wait a moment, I'll get the vegetables to try it out." With that, Lezhi began to look around, trying to find suitable experimental materials.

Although he was in front of the stove, Lei Xiu, who had been keeping an eye on Lezhi out of the corner of his eye, spoke up at the right moment, "There are some stone fruits and ground crisp fruits that I washed by the sink."

"Alright, let's add a dish of stir-fried shredded stone fruit with vinegar and radish and meatball soup today." After mentally planning the menu, Lezhi immediately started trying out his new toy.

The main reason Le Zhi asked Le Zhong to make this was because he was lazy. He really didn't like chopping vegetables. If he ate alone, or if Lei Xiu didn't have time to come back, there would be no one to prepare the food for him. So, after a little thought, Le Zhi came up with this amazing tool.

"So you had this thing custom-made specifically for cutting vegetables?"

Seeing Lezhi swiftly rub the peeled stone fruit against that strange thing, producing fine strands that fell into the transparent box at the bottom of the machine, Lei Xiu raised an eyebrow and instantly understood why this thing was called a vegetable cutter.

Lei Xiu glanced at the stewing meat still bubbling in the pot, turned down the heat, put the lid on, and then strolled over to Le Zhi's side. Watching the movements in his hands, he seemed quite interested in the vegetable chopper.

"Okay." Only a small piece of the stone fruit remained in Lezhi's hand. Because Lezhong had thoughtfully made a retainer, Lezhi wasn't afraid of cutting her hand and could make the most of the food. In no time, the stone fruit was completely cut into thin strips. "Ta-da, look, isn't it pretty good?"

Feeling a great sense of accomplishment from the successful experiment, Lezhi disassembled the main body of the vegetable cutter and showed Lei Xiu the results of his cutting. Although it couldn't compare to the knife skills of a top chef, it was still quite good, at least the cuts were even.

“…Not bad.” Lei Xiu’s fingers twirled a few thin strips of stone fruit that had been cut into uniform thickness, and he felt a strange sense of defeat.

"Right? This thing is an irreplaceable tool for someone like me who doesn't like chopping vegetables. I'll never have to worry about chopping vegetables again. By the way, did Uncle Le Zhong say anything else besides bringing this over?"

Looking at Lezhi with surprise, Lei Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "No, what, did you ask him to do something for you?"

“Ah, right.” Unaware of Lei Xiu’s subtle abnormality, Le Zhi nodded and admitted it casually, “Our family brought back a lot of wheat from the Windwalker Clan, so we won’t be short of flour after that. We will inevitably have to make pastries in the future, but I’m not very good at kneading dough, so I asked Uncle Le Zhong to help me make a food processor.”

"What?" Lei Xiu asked, his face full of confusion.

"It helps with mixing, but it's different from a mixer. Oh... you'll see when it's done."
