From reading the information collected by Jarvis, to pondering how to deal with the threat lurking in the dark, to calling Norman Osborn... Stark didn't feel anything, in fact, half an hour had passed .

A newborn baby doesn't have much energy. When Stark finished the call with Osborn, the baby in the upstairs living room was also full of fatigue points because of the teasing by Kang Na and the others, and fell asleep in a daze.

"Tony?"

"I'm here." Seeing Connor running down the stairs, Stark stood up and greeted her.

"Xiaochunchun fell asleep, we should go back too." Before going back, it is due courtesy to say hello to the master. As a well-bred and well-behaved child, Connor would not make a mistake on this point.

"Let's go back now? Don't you want to play for a while?" Touching Connor's head, Stark walked up the stairs with her and returned to the living room on the first floor.

"No, no, we're here to see Xiao Chunchun."

"That's fine." While agreeing, Stark glanced outside, and smiled: "It's really late, and it's time to go home. Let's go, I'll see you off."

"No, no, we can do it. Here, look, I have a flashlight."

"With me here, I'm not afraid of not being seen." Ramiris also flew over, and while echoing Kang Na, she raised her hand and summoned a small ball of light.

As elders, it is necessary to fulfill the obligation to protect children.

But thinking that the group of little guys in front of me are actually 'supermen', it is impossible for anyone to threaten them, and they are very firm that they don't need escorts, and they are yelling 'we are all adults' …

"Okay, okay." Raising his hands, Stark assumed a posture of surrender: "Then be careful on the road, and call me when you get home."

"Well, I will."

Nodding in response, Kang Na greeted her friends, then turned around and was about to go out.

Suddenly remembered something, Stark quickly added: "Wait, I called Norman just now, and he said that he would bring Harry with him tomorrow. Connor, are you classmates? I think It is necessary to tell you."

"Eh? Is Harry coming to play tomorrow?"

"uh-huh."

"I see, thank you, Tony. Hey, I'll call Peter later, by the way, and Gwen..."

He murmured as he walked, and before he finished speaking, Kang Na had already left the room with her friends.

"Jarvis, send out a drone to keep an eye on these little guys."

"Yes, sir."

"Fly higher, remember to turn on invisibility, don't let them find out."

"clear."

...................................

The next day, at half past nine in the morning.

First, stay by Pepper's side, and feed the baby together. Then, after the little guy was taken over by the nanny and taken to the baby room, Pepper also went back to bed and began to sleep back to relieve the fatigue accumulated from taking care of the child. Stark quietly left the bedroom and went downstairs to the next door. Shi Xiaolei's house.

The weather was fine, and I felt very comfortable walking on the path in the woods.

On the way, he heard a sound of babble, and Stark couldn't help being a little curious.

Leaving the trail, he took a closer look and found that Shi Xiaolei was cutting down trees, so Stark raised his hand to say hello: "Hey, good morning, Locke."

"Huh? Tony?" Stopped his hands, turned around and took a look, Shi Xiaolei responded with a smile: "Why did you come here?"

"I plan to go to your house to sit for a while. What are you doing?" Stark had already come to Shi Xiaolei's side while speaking.

"As you can see, trim the forest." He raised his hand and chopped the ax on the tree trunk that had not yet fallen. Shi Xiaolei took off the towel hanging around his waist and wiped his sweat: "Some trees are too long. It is too high, and it may be blown down during the monsoon season. To be on the safe side, I plan to repair it first."

"Why don't you hire someone to do it? Do it yourself, isn't it tiring?"

"What's so tiring."

"I'm tired and sweaty, so just be stubborn." Stark shook his head and couldn't help complaining.

"I just want to sweat. I only used five cents of my strength, and I can't even make a tenth of it." Shi Xiaolei laughed: "Dude, you don't really think that this little work can tire me out, do you?"

Thinking about it, with Shi Xiaolei's strength, not to mention moving mountains to fill seas is easy, at least he won't think that cutting down trees will make him sweat.

"...You really know how to play." Stark shook his head speechlessly: "Anyway, I can't understand."

"Everyone has their own preferences." Shi Xiaolei smiled, and asked casually: "By the way, are you alone? Where's Pepper? Are you taking care of the children at home?"

"The little guy just fell asleep after eating, and Pepper is catching up on sleep." Stark shrugged: "I have nothing to do, so I came to your place for a walk... Well, I actually made an appointment with Norman yesterday When we met, I felt that my family didn't seem suitable just now, so you understand."

"Afraid of disturbing Pepper and Chunni, so you moved to my place?" Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and patted his friend's shoulder: "Yes, buddy, you are quite competent as a parent, and you know how to think about it." This kind of detail~lightnovelpub.net~ is no worse than you anyway. Let’s go, the time is almost up, I guess Norman and the others are coming soon.”

"I'll talk about it after I cut down this tree, Tony, you step back, farther away." Pushing Stark lightly, Shi Xiaolei took the ax from the tree trunk, and with a little effort, He swung his ax and chopped down.

Unlike the previous ones, which could not be broken even after more than a dozen axe cuts, when the ax went down, most of the remaining tree trunk was chopped into two pieces with a single sound.

With a clattering sound, the towering tree trunk with its dense crown of branches fell down with great force and fell heavily on the ground.

Too lazy to trim the branches, he raised his hand and stuffed the freshly felled tree into his backpack. Shi Xiaolei picked up the ax and turned to look at Stark: "It's done, we can go."

"You can try to work as a lumberjack." Stark gave a thumbs up, and made a joke: "By the way, this year for Christmas, help me cut down a bigger pine tree. Anyway, for you It’s just a matter of an axe, and it’s easy to transport.”

"It's only been a few months, and you're thinking about Christmas? Let's talk about it later. If you tell me now, I may not remember it."

"Okay, then I'll ask Jarvis to record it in the memo and remind you before Christmas."

"...So you made up your mind to let me play a cameo as a lumberjack, right?"

"uh-huh."

"Okay, then I also make a request. You are responsible for the Christmas turkey. I mean, you must raise it yourself, and the ones bought from outside are not counted."

"..., we can discuss it, it's easier to change..."

"no."

"Okay then, just pretend I didn't say that."

Chatting with each other, the two left the grove and returned to the manor.
