Chapter 70 Brother
When Yin Qing and his wife picked up Xiao Taohua, they were surprised to see a large bag of snacks. They were sure that Li Zhen had specially brought them for Xiao Taohua as a token of their gratitude. They tried to give him money, but Li Zhen refused. In the end, they could only sigh and take the snacks home.
"Little Peach Blossom, your master's family has been so good to you, so you must be good to your master and Li Zhen in the future, you understand?"
"Little Peach Blossom knows."
"Yeah, that's good."
"Actually, I wanted to call Li Zhen 'brother,' but Master said Li Zhen is a junior. However, it's really uncomfortable to always call him by his name." Little Peach Blossom sighed like a little adult, which made Yin Qing and his wife unable to help but laugh. "Then why don't you and your master each call him by his own name? Master is Master, and Brother Li Zhen is Brother?"
Little Peach Blossom's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable: "Is that possible?"
"sure."
With her parents' approval, Xiao Taohua nodded emphatically: "Okay, then I'll call Li Zhen 'brother' when I see him tomorrow." It's so stressful to always call him by his name.
"Our little peach blossom is so sensible."
Little Peach Blossom smiled happily; she loved hearing praise the most.
Yin Qing and her husband are particularly good at this. They praise their daughter no matter what happens, and they praise her even when nothing happens. When it comes to their own daughter, they just praise her!
Cough cough, if it weren't for Little Peach Blossom's good foundation, she would probably have been spoiled by now. Unlike now, she's innocent, sweet, cute, and well-behaved. Wow, she's truly a sweet and lovable little angel, so considerate!
So when Li Zhen heard Xiao Taohua call him "brother" the next day, he was stunned and couldn't help but look at the sky, wondering if it was going to rain blood.
"Little, Little Peach Blossom, what did you just call me?" Li Zhen thought he might have misheard something and felt he should ask again.
“Brother? Mom said we can call each other our own names. Master is Master, and Brother Li Zhen is Brother.” Little Peach Blossom said seriously.
Li Zhen's hands were trembling with excitement: "Then, then shout again?"
Little Peach Blossom tilted her head and called out sweetly, "Brother..."
"Wow!" Li Zhen suddenly jumped up and ran around the yard like a madman. After running around, he seemed to realize something, coughed twice, and walked awkwardly to Xiao Taohua: "Since you've said that, then call me brother from now on. Don't worry, brother will protect you."
Little Peach Blossom flashed her tiny teeth: "Thank you, brother."
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Li Zhen waved his hand magnanimously. As for the past grievances with Xiao Taohua, Li Zhen said, "Did I? How come I didn't know about them? There definitely weren't any: 'Xiao Taohua, tell your brother if there's anything else you want to eat, and your brother can get it for you!'"
"Isn't it too tiring?" Little Peach Blossom heard from her parents yesterday that many snacks were hard to find.
"It's no trouble at all, I have connections!" Li Zhen said with particular pride!
Wow, brother is amazing!
Bathed in Xiao Taohua's adoring gaze, Li Zhen felt particularly tall and mighty, but he still had to be modest: "It's alright, it's alright, just so-so."
"Okay, then Little Peach Blossom will ask her brother for snacks when she wants them!"
"Don't you want it now?"
"There's so much, and we haven't finished eating it all." Little Peach Blossom is a good child who doesn't waste food.
"Little Peach Blossom is so well-behaved."
"Yes, Little Peach Blossom thinks so too."
Li Zhen, well, this was the first time Li Zhen had ever truly felt that Xiao Taohua was so cute. Wow, this was his little sister. Well, he had to protect her well from now on and never let anyone bully her!
"Come on, let's go out and play today!"
Is that alright?
“Sure, don’t always stay cooped up in the house reading and cultivating. You should go out for a walk occasionally. Grandpa is really something, you’re still young, you should play more, how can you stay cooped up at home every day?” Li Zhen grumbled, feeling that his grandfather was doing something wrong.
"It was Xiao Taohua's own choice, it's not that Master is bad," Xiao Taohua explained to Li Zhen earnestly.
"That won't work either. You're too young to understand, but Grandpa has to."
"Is that so?"
"That's right. From now on, your brother will take you out for walks whenever he has free time. You can't always stay cooped up at home. There's plenty of time for you to learn in the future."
"Alright then, I'll listen to my brother."
"You should always listen to your brother."
"You still have to listen to your master."
"My grandfather's word doesn't count!"
"You brat, what do you mean I don't have the final say!" Tieguai Li entered from outside with a bad expression. He had given his grandson and disciple some space to reconcile, but this brat was still badmouthing him in front of his disciple. This grandson was completely useless!
"No, Grandpa, you misheard. I'm free today, so I'm taking Little Peach Blossom out for a stroll."
"Alright, go ahead."
"Well then, Grandpa, I'm taking Little Peach Blossom with me now." With that, he picked up Little Peach Blossom and ran off with remarkable ease.
Little Peach Blossom was still waving goodbye to Tieguai Li: "Goodbye, Master."
Tieguai Li, who remained where he was, couldn't help but curse, "You brat!"
The brat is in good shape; he ran while carrying Little Peach Blossom without even panting, and instead felt particularly relaxed: "Come on, let me take you to see the school."
Although the little peach blossom is still small, it's never a problem to take a look.
"What does a school look like?" To be honest, Little Peach Blossom had never seen a school before.
Li Zhen said mysteriously, "You'll find out when you get there."
"Okay, little peach blossom, be good. Brother, are you tired of carrying little peach blossom? Or can little peach blossom walk by herself?"
"Not tired at all, you're the one who weighs the most."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, brother is happy."
"Li Zhen, you little rascal, we finally caught you. Hey, whose child are you holding?"
One moment Li Zhen was all smiles, the next he was cold and indifferent: "What is it?"
"Oh my, you're trying to scare us? We're like family. Come on, it's my treat today. How about we go to the state-run restaurant for a meal? I've got something fun, we can go check it out together later."
As for Little Peach Blossom, who cares about such a child?
Little Peach Blossom remained quiet, not disturbing her brother's conversation.
But will Li Zhen be happy about Xiao Tao Hua?
He was very unhappy! "No, I'm taking my sister to school."
"You have a younger sister? This is your younger sister? How come I didn't know?" The other person's surprised gaze finally turned to Little Peach Blossom.
Li Zhen was displeased: "What business is it of yours what happens to my family!"
"Hey, that's not a nice thing to say. You're not treating me like a brother."
"Go away, who considers you a brother? I don't know you."
"No, what's wrong with you today?"
"Little Peach Blossom, let's go, brother doesn't know him." After saying that, Li Zhen turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
He's a good older brother, so he can't let Xiao Taohua see the bad side of him.
"Hey, wait, you're leaving already?" Li Zhen's cronies were left dumbfounded, feeling that Li Zhen was acting strangely today.
