The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 106

Xiao Baozi is one year and nine months old, and he usually eats well. Currently, he weighs nearly twenty catties.

Li Jin, with the hem of his robe tucked into his belt, barefoot, and only his palms and toes touching the ground, forms a perfect diagonal line from his shoulder blades to his heels.

His typically slender physique now showcases perfectly toned muscles.

This is the standard push-up position, though it's hard to ignore the bright-eyed little bun on his back.

Despite the chilly March weather, the room is warmed by a fire, making Li Jin comfortable in his single layer of clothing.

Having just bathed Xiao Baozi, Li Jin foregoes the heavy jacket, dressing him in a simple half-sleeved shirt and pants, revealing his chubby arms.

Xiao Baozi understands that this is a game with his father, and he smiles widely.

However, this proves challenging for Li Jin as he slowly lowers and lifts himself, mindful not to jolt Xiao Baozi off, yet maintaining the exercise's purpose.

Usually, he does more than forty, but this time, Li Jin completes only twenty-eight push-ups.

Sweat gathers on his forehead, some dripping directly, while others follow the contours of his eye sockets, eventually coalescing at the tip of his nose before falling to the ground.

Qin Muwen knows that wiping sweat now might affect Li Jin's pace, so he supports Xiao Baozi to keep him from hitting his father's back with his hands.

When Li Jin finishes his set, Qin Muwen quickly cradles Xiao Baozi and hands Li Jin a cloth to wipe away his sweat.

As Li Jin rises, his normally composed eyes, illuminated by the soft candlelight, reflect pure indulgence towards the two little ones.

Yet, due to his recent exertion, Li Jin, with his eyes half-closed, wipes away the sweat. His high nose, slightly tousled hair, and the hint of a collarbone exposed due to exercise give him an inexplicable allure.

After Li Jin finished wiping, he removed his outer robe, revealing the shirt that had already been soaked in sweat.

He even took off his shirt. In fact, it wasn't necessary to burn the earth dragon recently, but because there were children in the family and he was concerned that little bun might get overheated, Li Jin didn't extinguish the earth dragon.

At this moment, he truly felt the heat.

In ancient times, it wasn't as many people imagine; the common folks still dressed heavily even in the scorching summer.

During Li Jin's previous life while studying abroad, he once visited England and saw a Qing Dynasty-era painting of the Qingming Festival at the British Museum.

In the painting, most of the common people carrying loads and doing manual labor by the bridge had bare legs. Some individuals obviously on a business trip were even wearing short-sleeved clothing, exposing their arms.

Before, when Li Jin was in the village, there were playful children, around five or six years old, running around without clothes.

So, for a man to be shirtless in his own home wasn't considered unusual.

As Li Jin started his second set of push-ups, he placed the baby bun's swaddling on his back, letting him join in.

"Daddy! Two!" the little bun exclaimed.

For a moment, Li Jin wasn't sure if there was a double meaning in his cub's words.

Did it mean the second set of push-ups or...
