Four-year-old Juanjuan was unloved by her father, ignored by her mother, and bullied by her older brothers. Left to shoulder the burden of a broken family all on her own.
Then one day, her pa...
The sixteen-year-old boy was dressed simply, but his clothes were clean and white, making him look like a typical scholar.
He wasn't exactly handsome, but he was still good-looking and had a refined appearance. He was in the prime of his life, and his youthful spirit was the best beauty treatment.
Bai Tian said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, Little Tree!"
Yes, Uncle Wang's name is... Wang Xiaoshu.
"Um... Brother Bai."
When Wang Xiaoshu spoke to Bai Tian, he was noticeably more distant and indifferent.
Please, he likes Juanjuan next door, not Juanjuan's bunch of bastards' family.
"Want some steamed buns?" Bai Tian pointed to the steamed bun shop and asked Wang Xiaoshu awkwardly.
He had just told his son that his son would definitely surpass Wang Xiaoshu, but he didn't know if Wang Xiaoshu had heard him.
It was a little awkward.
"No, no need."
Wang Xiaoshu smiled awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable with this side of Bai Tian.
Uncle Wang quietly asked Juanjuan, "Your dad... doesn't drink anymore?"
Juanjuan followed Wang Xiaoshu's example and carefully whispered in his ear, "Uncle, Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers have all changed for the better! They all love Juanjuan very much now."
"Look, you even brought Juanjuan to eat meat buns!"
Wang Xiaoshu: ...Okay, I can tell the little guy is happy.
But he still asked uncertainly.
"Are you sure you're not just being coaxed into eating a steamed bun so you can sell yourself off?"
Juanjuan blinked, then said, "No, I've been to town twice already!"
Wang Xiaoshu was finally relieved.
After chatting for a few minutes, Wang Xiaoshu handed Juanjuan a copied primer.
“Go back and study with Big Hammer. I taught Big Hammer the words on this, he should remember them.”
"good."
Juanjuan obediently accepted it.
"Brother Wang! You're here!"
The young man's voice came from the side.
Looking around, Juanjuan saw two or three boys who looked about the same age as Uncle Wang, coming together.
It seems he must be Uncle Wang's friend.
"Then I'll be going now."
When Uncle Wang saw his companions arrive, he also said goodbye to Juanjuan and the others.
Even after Uncle Wang left, Juanjuan could still hear them talking.
What are you all doing here?
"We went to smell it."
"Smell it?"
"You don't know? Shiwei Restaurant has a new dish, a secret-recipe roasted meat, it's delicious..."
I could faintly hear Bai Tian talking about barbecue: 【Ahhhhh! I miss all-you-can-eat barbecue so much!!! Pork belly, fatty beef, chicken rolls! And Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini burgers!】
Juanjuan: ...
But the child suddenly remembered the barbecue powder that his third brother had "mentioned".
So, is barbecue seasoning sprinkled on grilled meat?
Because he wanted to eat barbecue, Bai Tian decisively bought a pound of pork belly before going back.
Juanjuan looked at the pound of pork and asked in a low voice with concern, "Daddy, are we only spending money and not making any?"
If we buy meat every few days, won't we run out of money quickly?
Bai Tian:......
Isn't the point of living to eat? Engel's coefficient is utterly meaningless in China!
"Juanjuan, it's okay. Changing our names will bring good luck. Your brothers will find money." Bai Tian tried to coax the child.
Bai Yunxing ruthlessly exposed him: "Dad, I haven't picked it up yet."
That's the truth. The eldest brother found an ounce of gold in dog poop last time, and the third brother found an ounce of silver somewhere. Only he hasn't found anything yet.
