"Why are they reinforcing the walls again for no reason? They already seem pretty sturdy."
Bai Zhengxuan looked puzzled, strode over to Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Liu, and reached out to grab the milk powder and biscuits together.
Bai Yifan turned his head away in pain, refusing to look at the milk powder and biscuit boxes.
Fleeting clouds, all fleeting clouds.
He wanted to remain invisible.
To avoid getting beaten up.
"Today, the mutated giant python attacked the security base, and Kung Fu Panda also kicked two big holes in the base's wall, so we need to reinforce the wall," Liu Jing said quietly.
"Is it that exciting?"
Grandpa Wang felt a little regretful.
It's such a pity I missed such a lively event.
"This stuff won't fill you up!" Bai Zhengxuan frowned as he glanced at the nearly empty milk powder biscuits and smacked his lips.
I've been out having fun all day, and I'm starving.
"Isn't it cooked already?"
Grandpa Wang looked with a smile at the rice bowl in the kitchen, which contained various meatballs and meats that had been cooked but hadn't yet been stir-fried into a spicy hot pot.
Grandpa Wang isn't picky about food; he'll eat anything that's edible!
As he spoke, Grandpa Wang went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"Grandpa, it's not cooked yet! It'll be ready in a bit!"
Bai Yifan said something in a low voice, then rushed into the kitchen with small, quick steps, gently pushing Grandpa Wang out as he went.
Let him handle all the chores.
He wanted to use his hard work to save his dad from beating him today.
"Alright! Xiao Fan is such a good kid."
Grandpa Wang chuckled and shook his hand, looking at the bowl full of hot pot meatballs with a smile.
He was an environmental worker with a very low salary. His most extravagant habit was to spend a little money to buy a bottle of liquor and eat it with a plate of pork and scallion dumplings.
He doesn't eat spicy hot pot very often.
He fell in love with the taste after eating at the Bai family's house a few times.
Extremely spicy and numbing, that's his favorite!
"You brat! Why are you hitting your Uncle Wang for no reason?"
Bai Anhai watched as Bai Yifan pushed away Grandpa Wang's small hand and shouted loudly.
Grandpa Wang was completely dumbfounded.
"Huh? Who hit me?"
Grandpa Wang scratched his head. He just stood there, and anyone who dared to hit him would surely die first.
Bai Yifan shrank his neck.
It's here, it's here, it's finally here.
A series of excuses adults use to hit children.
Instead of clearly stating the reason for hitting the child, they made a big deal out of the smallest things!
"Dad, I just asked Grandpa Wang to go and rest. I didn't hit him, and I wouldn't dare to."
Bai Yifan muttered his explanation in a low voice, his eyes still darting towards Bai Xizhu.
Dear sister, I need your help!
Bai Xizhu didn't see it.
If you hit someone, you have to bear the consequences.
"You actually yelled at me?"
Old Man Bai looked at Bai Yifan calmly, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Bai Yifan: ? ? ! !
Who yelled at you?
"Excuse me, I'll be right back. My child is being very unruly, I need to go and discipline him."
Bai Anhai nodded gently to Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Liu, then strode towards Bai Yifan.
"Don't go too far! That's enough!"
Grandpa Wang couldn't help but say something.
It's nothing new for Mr. Bai to hit his child; he just does it.
But we mustn't overdo it, it's time for dinner, and the spicy stir-fry isn't ready yet!
I'll try my best.
Bai Anhai nodded politely and continued walking in Bai Yifan's direction.
"Sis, sis!"
Bai Yifan's eyes flashed frantically at Bai Xizhu, and he whispered his name to his older sister.
When Dad goes berserk, he's beyond the control of ordinary people.
"The stars in the sky are so bright!"
Bai Xizhu turned her head to look out the window, her voice soft and low.
Bai Yifan glanced out the dark window; the moon hadn't even appeared, let alone the stars!
My older sister is no longer my biological sister.
As Bai Yifan watched his father getting closer, he continued to call for backup.
"Mom, Mom!"
Requesting support!
Following Bai Xizhu's gaze, Wang Yiyun looked out the dark window and calmly said, "The stars are so beautiful, just like my daughter's eyes!"
Bai Yifan: ? ? ?
Your daughter went blind, and you...?
Is this hereditary?
There's no time to complain!
The purple lightning in Old Man Bai's hand immediately splattered onto his face.
"Grandpa and Grandma!" Bai Yifan blinked frantically at Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing.
His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.
"What are you doing?" Liu Jing calmly snatched the last milk powder biscuit from Bai Zhengxuan's hand. "My son hits my son, but I don't hit my son!"
There wasn't time to think of tongue twisters.
Bai Yifan looked to Bai Zhengxuan for help.
Grandpa Bai doted on him the most; he was the only boy in the family.
The older generation tends to favor sons over daughters.
Anyway, every time I went back to the countryside with my sister, Grandpa would give my sister a piece of fruit and then stuff the whole basket full of fruit into her hands.
This is a manifestation of the elderly's preference for sons over daughters.
To avoid hurting his older sister, Bai Yifan kept quiet and silently endured the heavy love from the elderly couple.
Bai Yifan, whose mind wasn't quite right, never considered that the old couple simply wanted him to carry the basket.
They favored sons over daughters; the heavier burdens went to the men, and the lighter burdens went to the women.
"Don't call me, I'm in a bad mood." Bai Zhengxuan silently looked at the empty plate, feeling slightly depressed.
Milk powder biscuits, all gone.
