It was almost noon, so Bai Tian called his second son to prepare to go home.
When I passed by Zhenxiulou, I found that it was closed.
Bai Tian clicked his tongue, his words brimming with self-satisfaction: "Could it be that they've been scared off? Even this Zhenxiu Restaurant isn't up to par!"
Bai Yunxing glanced at the closed Zhenxiulou restaurant, but a figure flashed into his mind.
I saw someone who looked like a strategist from the Northern Barbarians go to Zhenxiu Restaurant yesterday, and today it's closed?
What a coincidence!
It was such a coincidence that he couldn't help but overthink it.
I haven't even reached my doorstep yet.
Bai Yunxing then saw a large group of people gathered at the nearby "intelligence organization".
Before he could react, his father grabbed him and pulled him away.
Bai Tian stated: Hesitating even for a moment is disrespectful to gossip.
The 60-year-old man, whose eyesight was failing, was telling Bai Tian a vivid and engaging story, spitting as he spoke.
"The black dog brought over a severed hand, and it's said that the hand can still move, like the hand of a monster!"
"Black dogs ward off evil spirits. The hand it brought must be a sign to us. Let me tell you younger ones..."
The information automatically extracted by Bai Tian is: "The black dog brought a severed hand; the part after 'it is said' can be ignored."
Having learned a little about it, Bai Tian thanked the old man and quickly led his son home.
I'm sure Jiang Dai knows more.
"Jiang Dai! We're back!"
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Tian let out a loud howl.
Jiang Dai, who was reading a storybook, was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, while Juan Juan, who was writing, smeared ink directly onto her chest.
Bai Yun'an glanced at his frightened mother and sister, and then gave his father, who was rushing into the house, a look of utter disdain.
[Seriously, what did this dad do before? He's so eccentric, even Juanjuan is more mature than him!]
Juanjuan looked at the ink stains on her chest and silently agreed with her third brother's idea.
Exactly, she's never this easily startled!
"Jiang Dai! Jiang Dai!"
Bai Tian rushed in with a look of curiosity and excitement, his eyes shining brightly, and his whole body exuding a vitality rarely seen at his age.
"What's going on with this black dog and broken hand today?"
Jiang Dai curled her lips into a cold smile, sizing up Bai Tian with a rather imposing air.
Several children: ?
What is Mom doing? She seems really capable.
The next second.
"Come, come, let me tell you..."
Jiang Dai and Bai Tian huddled together and started whispering excitedly.
Bai Yunqi quietly squeezed through and successfully infiltrated his parents' gossip chat.
Bai Yunxing listened quietly from the side, extracting useful information from the conversation.
Bai Yun'an: [What was I even expecting?!]
Juanjuan blinked, got up and went outside to wash clothes. She needed to rinse that small stain of ink with water before it dried, otherwise it would be harder to wash off once it was dry.
After washing the clothes, Juanjuan glanced into the house.
My parents and older brother were still chatting happily; they didn't seem hungry at all.
But she was hungry.
With her gaze falling on the lunchbox her father had brought back, Juanjuan patted her father's hand, trying to get his attention.
"Father, is this food?"
"Um."
"When shall we eat?"
Juanjuan asked, glancing at her mother who had recently said she was hungry.
Jiang Dai: ...
"Let's eat!"
[When gossip gets going, I get so excited I forget everything else. Look at the mess I've made!]
Juanjuan: It's okay! She'll remind you!
Mealtime is always Juanjuan's busiest time.
Today, however, my second brother, who rarely whispers in his heart, was the one who spoke the most.
What northern barbarians, what strategists, what third prince...
These were all people Juanjuan had never heard of before, but judging from her second brother's tone, they were probably not good people.
After finishing lunch.
All four children were forced to shut down their phones and go for a nap.
Bai Tian and Jiang Dai hadn't originally planned to sleep, but they overestimated themselves.
On this warm day, in the quiet midday, and with them feeling nauseous from carbs, it would be absolutely outrageous if they didn't sleep.
Juanjuan, who should have been sleeping, sat up.
She looked at her sleeping parents, then at herself, who had been lying there for a long time but was still not sleepy.
I don't know why my parents like to sleep so much.
I can't get up in the morning, and I can't get up after taking a nap at noon either.
Juanjuan got up, picked up a book with somewhat sloppy workmanship, quietly walked out of the house, and sat down by the door.
This isn't just any ordinary book; it's something her mother and father specially made for her...
Early childhood storybook.
There are little people drawn on it! It's so cute.
For those who don't understand something, looking at the little figures helps them get a general idea of what it means. Juanjuan really thinks her mother and father are incredibly amazing.
The stories my mother wrote, and my father would draw little figures of them.
Daddy also suggested that she take it out to see if other children liked it, but Juanjuan couldn't bear to part with it.
This was drawn by Daddy himself. What if other children get it dirty or damaged?
