Cannon fodder dressed as an outcast subject to [Quick Transmigration]

Although Wei Yutang felt a little helpless about the current situation, he was happy in his heart.

As far as the current situation is concerned, every time he thinks of it, the corners of his lips can't help but curl up.

For him before, home was just a cold word, but now because of the existence of these people, it gradually began to become lively.

Those things that have fallen into dust are found out and cleaned up again. The efficiency of these nannies is always very high.

After staring at these things for a long time, the little tiger looked down at his furry claws.

At that moment just now, he really wanted to work hard.

But now after seeing these things placed there again, a feeling of shrinking suddenly appeared in my heart.

In fact, his father is so powerful, even if he is not so powerful in paddling and fishing, it doesn't seem to matter.

After persuading himself in the bottom of his heart, the little tiger tried to continue to be the little waste that was just eating and waiting to die.

Chu Qing had already figured out the character of this little guy very clearly, now that he looked at his appearance, he roughly understood what he was thinking.

"Since we have found all these things, we must practice hard."

The little guy who had comforted himself from the bottom of his heart just now, his eyes widened instantly when he heard these words.

If the person who said these words was the father, then he must have started to cry out very unwillingly.

But now it's my father who told me this...

After thinking for a long time, Zai Zai gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

After all, this is indeed what he himself promised before, and he was so courageous when he agreed, and now he must not be a cub that his father looks down upon.

"Ow!"

Wei Yutang just watched the little guy who was not very obedient in front of him, and he was so obedient in front of Chu Qing that it made people feel soft.

But fortunately, before this incident, things had happened many times, and he didn't have any sense of gap in his heart.

After he finished the task this time, before he even came back, he impatiently applied for Chu Qing and the little tiger to live with him.

His other conditions have been met, so it is not difficult to apply for it.

Chu Qing is also receiving systematic training in that area recently, and there is also a little tiger, who is still very young and can't even speak clearly.

The results of the investigation were given very quickly, and a large house was arranged for the family of three.

Wei Yutang personally asked someone to help with the decoration, ensuring that it would look like the two of them.

He helped to read the design drawings many times, especially the design drawings of the bedroom. Wei Yutang also specially told the designer that it must be fully automatic.

According to how clingy a certain little tiger is, after moving to a new home, he definitely still wants to cling to his father.

But they can't keep this cub by their side all the time, they have to have their own private lives.

So he thought of a wonderful method.

It's okay for Zai Zai to cling to his father, and it's also okay to want to rest with his father at night.

Anyway, Zai Zai is still young and sleeps very well.

Basically, after being coaxed to sleep at night, I can sleep until dawn without waking up halfway, and I sleep very deeply.

There was a time before when he was called to wake up, the little tiger delayed opening his eyes until the time when he usually woke up by himself, and rubbed his eyes with his paws, no matter which direction he looked, his eyes were full of confusion.

After thinking about this, Weiyutang asked the designer to make a fully automatic design in the bedroom.

Make sure that this cub is with them when he sleeps, and when he falls asleep, he can be automatically moved to the side, the little tiger's own bedroom.

This is not difficult for a designer, but he is one of the very few who hear such a strange request.

Xia Xia didn't notice his father's sinister intentions at all, but checked first after moving to the new home.

Make sure that many of my things are put together with my father, which means that after moving to this new home, I can still live with my father as before.

After the little tiger realized this, his tail could almost go straight up to the sky.

Seeing through this cub's hidden desire to show off, Chu Qing shook his head helplessly.

This cub is probably because he is still young, so he is very easy to be deceived. When thinking about problems, he is superficial, and his brain is not very good at turning corners.

When I grow up a bit, I'm afraid it won't be as easy to fool as it is now.

That night, the little tiger took a look at his little bed, and after confirming that it was next to his father's big bed, he got under the covers with peace of mind.

He was still being taken care of by the nanny. He had already taken a shower and put on a clean plush one-piece pajamas.

In fact, according to this cub's own thinking, he doesn't want to wear clothes at all. After all, he has very thick hair, and he doesn't feel cold after washing.

But the little tiger could tell that Dad seemed to like seeing him in a furry one-piece pajamas.

In the past, whenever he made his father angry, he would put on a cute one-piece suit and apologize to his father.

The little tiger may not be willing to use his brain on other things, but there is hardly anyone who can do better than him on how to divide more attention in front of his father.

Clarify the course he attended before he came back late this evening, and now a new teacher has come, and he wants to explain deeper things to them.

She learned the previous content with ease, basically as long as the teacher explained it once, she could start to use it proficiently, but the content that the new teacher said required repeated thinking and practice.

If it wasn't because someone called and told him that the cub at home was still waiting for him to go back, he wouldn't even realize that a long time had passed.

At that time, Chu Qing raised his wrist and glanced at the time. If it was normal, the little tiger should have fallen asleep long ago.

When I thought of this, I didn't care about it. I originally planned to practice for a long time, so I simply packed up my things and rushed back.

When Wei Yutang saw him coming back in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to help him take off his coat and put it on the hanger beside him.

"I don't know what's going on with Xia Xia, I just waited there because I didn't want to sleep."

It was originally just a normal conversation between the two of them after get off work, but because Chu Qing was in a good mood today, he turned his head and made a joke.

"Maybe it's not just Xia Xia."

Wei Yutang didn't react when he heard this sentence at first, but after trying to understand what he meant, his ears suddenly started to feel hot.

Indeed, there is no one in the family who does not sleep until he comes back, and he is not a little tiger, but the other person thinks that he has not come back so late outside, and it is a matter of course for him to wait here.

Now after being pointed at by him like this, his face started to feel a little hot for no reason.

The little tiger is still young now, and the relationship between the two of them was not very good before, which left some shadows in the bottom of this cub's heart, so it is an unusual thing to wait there. things.

But I am different, I am already an adult, and now when I come into contact with such a topic, I will inevitably feel a little bit sorry.

"Zai Zai misses you and doesn't want to sleep, maybe his father does too."

When Wei Yutang was about to go upstairs, he suddenly said this sentence, causing Chu Qing to pause.

They are all ordinary words, which are simply everyday for couples who are together.

But just now, a very special feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Qing gently twitched the corners of her lips, trying to hide her strangeness, then stepped up without a trace, walked to the front and back of the upstairs bedroom door and pushed the door open.

The little tiger, who was already a little confused under the quilt, was still struggling to fall asleep, lying there fighting with his upper and lower eyelids.

When he saw his father's figure suddenly appearing at the door, the little tiger lying there quickly stood up, flew towards his father's direction, and let out a grievance.

This cub has been waiting for a long time, and now he is extremely sleepy, but he still does not forget to pretend to be pitiful in front of his father, and gestures with his paw, how long he has waited, and how wronged he is.

"I'm sorry, it's busy there today, so I'm a little late coming back."

Anyway, it was also the first day of their move. If it wasn't for a new teacher teaching something that he had never touched before, he should be at home.

After hearing these words, the little tiger shook his head slightly.

He just missed his father a little bit, and didn't want his father to delay the business because of him.

"Wow, when did my baby become so considerate?"

When the little tiger heard these words, he raised his head proudly.

He is no longer the cub who was so childish that he just wanted to stick with his father.

"It's getting late now, can you go to bed early?"

After the little tiger heard this sentence, he nodded slightly.

He was already too sleepy, but the idea of ​​waiting for his father to come back was too firm, which supported him until now.

Now when I hear my father's words, I feel a little sleepy in an instant.

A wave of drowsiness hit my heart, so that this cub only had time to nod his head, and quickly fell asleep.

Chu Qing did not leave directly after the little tiger fell asleep, but sat by the bed and waited for a while to make sure that the little tiger was really fast asleep, then reached out to help him tidy up the quilt, and then started to go out after finishing all this .

Wei Yutang asked the housekeeper to prepare food for him outside, thinking that he came back so late, so he prepared some light food that met his usual appetite.

Today he was busy studying those things, so he really didn't have the time to take care of eating, so he just ate two hastily at noon.

Now after smelling the aroma of food at this point, I suddenly felt a sense of hunger in my abdomen.

"Thank you."

This man's thoughtfulness, in the current situation, makes people feel particularly useful.

Maybe it was because he was too tired after a busy day today, or maybe it was because he was a little tired at this point, smelling the smell of food, thinking that this man had just ordered others to prepare it carefully.

In addition, not long ago, I was coaxing a certain little tiger to sleep, everything can be associated with the word home.

A strong sense of warmth broke through his mind, and even briefly disturbed his reason.

"I suddenly felt that if I could be like this every night, I should be very happy."

The first time Wei Yutang heard this sentence, he was not relieved, on the contrary, there was a wave of indescribable distress in his heart.

After they talked about that topic together last time, he specially asked his subordinates to help him look up the past about Chu Qing.

I don't have any other bad thoughts, I just want to know what kind of environment this person lived in before he appeared.

After being lost and abandoned since childhood, the parents did not choose to look for it, but turned around and brought home a substitute in the orphanage.

To a certain extent, Chu Qing was actually relatively lucky.

After he was exiled on that planet, he was lucky to be adopted by someone, and he was brought up to such an adult. Unfortunately, the god of luck did not always favor him. Soon after he grew up, the couple left him forever.

Wei Yutang often wonders whether it is because he has received too little love from others, so now he is moved by a little thing.

"That's what I was supposed to do."

"If you like it, we can do it every day as long as I'm not out on missions."

There are too many uncontrollable factors in the execution of the mission, coupled with the various dangers that may be accompanied by the mission, even if the mission was not strict at the time, he was able to come back.

He didn't dare to take this risk, and put the danger that might exist in the mission on his family.

"That would be too much work for you."

"It's not too hard, I feel very happy."

Many things related to Chu Qing were arranged, and the trivial romance in life seemed to emerge along with these small things.

Probably because the two of them are not in the process of a normal couple together, so they seem a little rusty in many things.

Wei Yutang is trying to eliminate all the barriers between them with his own efforts.

"Does this tonight suit your appetite? If you like it, I'll ask the chef to teach me. Next time you come, try what I made myself."

"It was delicious."

Many things the chef cooks are originally according to their appetite, and the chef's craftsmanship is really good, so for him, every meal is like a kind of enjoyment.

That night when Chu Qing returned to the bedroom, he glanced at the sleeping tiger cub and stared at the door for a long time, but the man didn't come in.

The original owner and him have always been resting separately, even if there is a master bedroom there, it is more like the original owner's private bedroom.

Since he traveled here for such a long time, nothing has happened to this point. It has changed suddenly. If he wants to change this status quo, it will be a little difficult.

When Chu Qing lifted the quilt and was about to lie down and rest, she suddenly realized that she was thinking about that topic before, and she just froze there, a little out of control.

After working so hard during the day, he should have been sleepy at night, but because of the thought that subconsciously appeared in his mind just now, he was so scared that he couldn't wake up anymore.

The system detected the host's abnormal mood swings. Thinking of what the host did before, although he was staring at the host in the space now, he didn't choose to show up to expose it.

If he dared to destroy the good deeds of the Marshal, he would definitely be sent back to the recovery site after the Marshal came back.

The system sat there with a not-so-standard Erlang leg raised, with some anticipation in his heart, when the future commander and the marshal came back together, thinking of this past, what would he feel in his heart?

Chu Qing probably stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Start to think hard about the reason why you have such a change.

I kept thinking about rationally reminding him in the middle of the night that if I don’t take a good rest now, I won’t be able to have enough energy to do things tomorrow, so I forced myself to close my eyes.

After thinking for so long, I couldn't come up with a more accurate answer.

But he is the kind of character who can't divide his mind on other things before exploring the correct answer.

Before falling asleep completely, I barely made up an answer that sounded reliable and easy to accept.

Probably because this person is the target of my strategy, and in this mission world, everything about myself and him is bound together.

And this person is very shrewd, if he can't invest a certain amount of emotion, he will definitely notice the abnormality.

The little tiger grew up day by day. From the very beginning, it was a bit tiring to walk for a while. He ran to the feet of his father and father and turned around. The little guy who acted like a baby and wanted to be hugged slowly grew up to the point where he could walk independently when he went out. Cubs.

It was just such a small improvement that he didn't need to hug when he went out, but in the eyes of his biological father, he felt that his family was very powerful.

Other people's children are still the kind that need to be hugged no matter where they go, but his family's cubs can already solve many things independently.

What is it called?This is called maturity.

The little tiger didn't notice at all that his father, who was a little taciturn in front of him, besides showing off his lover in front of others, was also very willing to use him as a capital to show off.

In the past, he also felt a little sneer at the behavior of his friends who always talked about the children at home.

But when he really began to experience this kind of moving situation, he realized that even if the child's growth is only a little bit, he is so proud that he can't wait to share it with the whole world.

As the little tiger grows up day by day, he gradually reaches the age when he should go to school.

This cub knew before that he was definitely going to school, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

As long as I think that after I go to school, I may not be able to be like this anymore, staying at home all day long, waiting for my father to come back, it feels like I have lost hope for my entire tiger career.

"All children are going to kindergarten. I believe my baby will be better than other children, right?"

In most cases, he doesn't like to compare his own cubs with others'. After all, even if his own cubs don't exist, they are so good that they must be the best in the eyes of their parents.

However, the character of this little tiger is here, it just likes to be competitive.

If you talk to him in a more serious way, this cub will probably ignore it.

On the contrary, with such a radical method, this cub can be made to do what they want to achieve every time.

Originally, he was a little reluctant about going to kindergarten, but after hearing this, this baby boy suddenly changed his mind.

If he stayed at home all the time, how would he prove to his father that he was the best little tiger in the kindergarten.

As soon as he thought of this, the little tiger took the initiative to put his schoolbag on his shoulders, and then greeted his father to send him to the kindergarten as soon as possible.

He must let his father know that he is the best cub in the whole world.

Little Tiger has such an idea in his heart, so he has no resistance at all to going to kindergarten.

After being sent to the kindergarten, the other children felt a little sad because they couldn't bear their parents. Seeing them crying, Zai Zai felt a sense of superiority.

He felt that these children missed their parents more than he missed his father.

When I thought so, my father didn't even cry, but these children were not as good as I wanted to just cry here.

The kindergartens of these small animals are actually not much different from humans.

On the contrary, because of the language barrier, the requirements for teachers are higher, and the teaching difficulty is also more difficult.

At the beginning, this cub wanted to watch the excitement, and felt that none of these children could compare to him in being cute.

But when he found out later that the teacher's experience had been spent on coaxing these children, the cub began to become a little impatient.

He went to kindergarten because he wanted to learn knowledge and grow up quickly so that he could help his father.

But now, looking at myself working so hard to attend classes in the kindergarten, I didn't hear a word of nutritious things. Instead, I clearly heard how these children were crying.

On the first day of kindergarten, Xia Xia's father and father were waiting for him at the kindergarten gate.

When I saw the familiar little tiger, carrying a small schoolbag on its back, walking out of the kindergarten dejectedly.

For a moment, Chu Qing wondered if his cub was playing naughty in the kindergarten, so he was criticized by the teacher.

Walking over to hold the little tiger in his arms, he skillfully reached out and rubbed his head and asked.

"Aren't you happy in kindergarten?"

When the little tiger heard these words, the grievance in his heart seemed to be turned on by a switch, and he nodded his head very hard.

Four paws hugged Dad's arm, and the whole tiger was wronged into a ball.

He wanted to tell his father that kindergarten was not fun at all, and he didn't learn a lot of knowledge like his father once said when he fooled him.

The teacher did not share any knowledge with him, and the teacher has been coaxing those students who love to cry.

Later, when the teacher couldn't coax me over, I asked myself if I could help.

Dad had taught himself that he must be a good cub who is keen on helping others, so the little tiger agreed without hesitation.

Helping the teacher coax those classmates together, after a whole day, it was almost like his father came back from a very difficult task.

"Did you get reprimanded by the teacher?"

Seeing that the cub was so tired and listless, Chu Qing's voice became more and more gentle, asking for answers very patiently.

The little tiger shook his head lightly. He was not reprimanded by the teacher today. On the contrary, the teacher praised him for being very sensible and the most obedient among all the children.

If he hadn't been tired for a whole day, this cub must emphasize to his father how those teachers praised him.

But now he was so tired, he just wanted to curl up in his father's arms, go home and have a good meal, and get under the covers to have a good rest.

"Is that because going to kindergarten is a bit tiring?"

Wei Yutang next to him also took the initiative to ask, this cub nodded his head lightly, he felt as if he didn't go to kindergarten, but went to work in kindergarten.

"It's hard work for our baby. When you go back, dad will make you some delicious food, okay?"

Chu Qing unintentionally cooked a meal for this cub before, which made this little guy think about it.

Every day, he acted like a baby and acted cute, hoping that his father could cook for him every day, but it was a pity that he knew that he had other things to do, and he didn't have much free time. Most of the time, he couldn't satisfy this cub's wish.

Today, I heard my father say that I want to cook delicious food for myself, this little tiger, even though I still feel a little wronged in my heart, but I quickly recovered.

The chick nodded his head like he was pecking rice, and at the same time he did not forget to glance at his father from the corner of his eye.

The reason why I can eat the food made by my father today is that my father is completely in his honor.

My father cooks for himself only after he sees that he is unhappy and wants to coax him. At that time, he will definitely have his father's share.

On the way back, this cub has already started to ask his father in what way.

Zai Zai could tell before that his father also liked to eat the food made by his father.

Relying on his father, he finally got his wish. It has been a long time since he had his eyes on a toy last time, and now it should not be too much to ask for his father.

Wei Yutang saw that his son's little abacus had started to crackle, so he didn't tell him that he had already bought the toy he wanted so much last time.

It's not that they don't have that condition. When the children were young, their desires in all aspects were the lowest.

Usually, a pack of snacks that he likes very much can make this cub happy for a long time.

give.brook.Benedict.Gal.If you can be made happy by these things when you are young, why wait until you grow up to double the demands to get this fulfillment.

Such a short distance home from kindergarten made this cub happy.

Maybe it was just because in the kindergarten, coaxing those children made him feel a little tired.

Now on the way back, he was coaxed by his father, and immediately after being coaxed, he began to revive with full blood, and when he entered the house, he began to wag his tail vigorously.

Dad said that he would prepare delicious food for him, and this cub's mind was full of the things his father had cooked last time.

When Wei Yutang waited for the little guy to play in the toy room, he also walked into the kitchen.

The place where they live now is quite special, and usually chefs can't stay for too long.

When I heard that Chu Qing wanted to cook by himself today, the chef left early in the morning.

Wei Yutang had tried it once before, and for him, cooking was even more difficult than the most difficult task he had ever done.

Knowing that he was working very hard, he stayed in the kitchen to help.

No matter what Chu Qing was doing, he looked very neat, even just preparing those ingredients was pleasing to the eye.

Holding a knife in his hand, he divided the ingredients with very neat movements.

Holding the ingredients with his slender fingers, Wei Yutang's movements gradually slowed down, and all his attention fell on him.

"Look at what I do?"

After Chu Qing processed the nutritious ingredients, he turned his head to the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he happened to meet the eyes he was looking at. When the four eyes met, there was an inexplicable atmosphere that flowed between the two of them.

"nice."

Wei Yutang bowed his head and continued to do his own thing. When he answered, these two words seemed to linger between his lips and tongue for a long time.

"How nice is it?"

"very nice."

Yuxi and the two of them didn't have time to continue asking when they were talking here. There was a little tiger at the door of the kitchen, and the dog poked its head out furiously.

Xia Xia saw the toy upstairs that she wanted to have very much before, and she was so happy that she couldn't help but start having fun.

You don't need to think too much to know that this is definitely bought by your father. After playing for a while, you come downstairs and want to say thank you to your father.

By the way, let's see if Dad has already done it, and when do you need his help to taste it.

Before the little tiger started what he wanted to do, he first heard the conversation between his father and his father.

It's probably because my father spends a lot more time with me recently, and the little tiger is also growing up day by day.

Now it's not like before, feeling that he and his father are simply incompatible.

I'm still a little dissatisfied with my father. His status in my father's heart is more important than myself, but I know that I am wrong anyway.

He tried his best to correct it, ran to his father, raised his head and rubbed his head against his father.

Seeing the little guy's appearance, Chu Qing knew that he wanted to be hugged, and bent down to hold Xia Xia in his arms, with the little tiger's tail wrapped around his wrist.

The tip of the tail was still twitching lightly, looking like a cub who had been arguing all the time and didn't know how to say it.

"Did you see the new toy your father bought you upstairs?"

When the little tiger heard these words, his eyes widened in shock.

He thought it was his father who bought it for him, and he had practiced it many times in his mind when he went downstairs.

Unexpectedly, now I suddenly know that this is actually bought by my father.

The little tiger didn't think it was impossible, but he was a little shocked.

Uneasy, he wrapped his tail tightly around his father's wrist, not daring to look at his father's face at all.

When Wei Yutang saw Zai Zai's guilty look, how could he not understand what he meant?

"What I bought is no different from what my father bought."

The little tiger was really uneasy at this time, so he subconsciously nodded his head, as if it was indeed okay.

"I wanted to buy it for you, but before I had time to buy it, your father bought it back first."

When the little tiger heard these words, his eyes lit up suddenly, he quickly raised his head, his ears swayed slightly with his movements, as if he was injected into his soul instantly.

I have practiced it in my mind before, and I have to thank my father, and now he finally took it out.

Rubbing vigorously towards his father, it seemed that he was using every hair on his body to say, thank you.

On the one hand, it is because this cub really likes his father more, and is usually more clingy to his father.

On the other hand, it was because he had been fighting against his father for so long before.

If he was asked to bow his head for a while, this little tiger still felt a little burdened, and always felt a little offended.

Wei Yutang continued to deal with the more troublesome ingredients on the side. Although he was not good at cooking, there was no difficulty in handling the ingredients.

Especially for some meat, Wei Yutang's processing is even more beautiful than Chu Qing's.

It's just that there shouldn't be many people curious about the reason for this.

"Thanks a lot."

After Chu Qing finished coaxing a certain little tiger, she turned her head and saw that the ingredients that needed to be processed had been neatly placed on the plate.

This time, the little tiger seemed to feel that the steps were handed under his paws, and it would be impolite not to run down the steps.

He stretched out his paw and patted his father's eyes lightly with approval, and he yelled several times.

Regardless of whether his father understands what he wants to express in his cry, this little tiger has indeed come to his mind.

Wei Yutang still doesn't care about his own son to that extent, according to his understanding of this little guy, it is not easy to do this level.

It is probably equivalent to a very popular topic on the Empire Forum before. The mother and child apologized by going out to eat.

The way the little tiger apologized to himself was probably to pat him with his paw.

Although this cub didn't have the slightest sincerity to apologize, it was already considered rare for him, and there was no need to force too much.

At the beginning, the little tiger also thought about whether it was bad for him to do that, but as another person he apologized to, his father didn't say anything, so he gradually developed this habit.

He can help with preparing the ingredients, but when the cooking starts, he can only watch from the side and help pass things from time to time.

Under such circumstances, the little tiger also wanted to sneak over to join in the fun, but it was a pity that his father hugged him to the side before his paws even touched the ingredients.

When the little tiger was taken away, he felt a little reluctant.

Even because of his father's behavior, he took back a lot of his previous guilt.

It's not a big deal, it's just helping to get things together.

Since the father can do it, so should the cub.

At this time, the little tiger was staring at him full of grievances and unwillingness. His father watched for a long time, and the two of them were deadlocked like this.

Chu Qing was busy cooking at this time, so she didn't care about what kind of temper these two people had.

As far as the relationship between the father and son is concerned, it would be rare if the two of them were so peaceful that nothing would happen one day.

Unwillingly, the little tiger pawed with his paws, expressing his dissatisfaction and resistance to his father's previous behavior in this way in front of his father.

If they usually have more time, it is not impossible to play with this cub.

But before picking up Zai Zai back from the kindergarten today, Chu Qing was already tired for a long time.

If it wasn't for making Zai Zai happy, he might have already planned to go to rest.

At this time, if this little guy wants to make trouble here, he doesn't know when the meal will be ready.

"That's not the only thing in your toy room upstairs."

The little guy who was still very angry just now regained his energy when he heard these words.

"Ow?"

He tilted his head in doubt, and even the cry carried a somewhat inconspicuous urging.

"I bought you a lot of presents in your room today, and if you can find them, they are all yours."

Although the little tiger also knew that even if he didn't find it, the gifts his father bought were basically his, but now he was inexplicably competitive by his father's words.

"Ow."

He quickly forgot what happened before, and didn't care about helping his father like a father, so he quickly went out of the kitchen and ran upstairs.

For this little tiger, it seems that such unknown things can satisfy his desire to explore.

After the little tiger walked upstairs, Chu Qing turned around and took a look at the man.

It can only be said that the reason why the relationship between their father and son
