Chapter 204: Get Beaten Together
"Put your hand out." Xu Wan interrupted him and refused to listen to his nonsense.
Little Devil: “…”
Zong Jincheng was very resentful, but he still pouted and stretched out his hand honestly.
挨揍就挨揍，誰家兒子沒被母親揍過，打是親罵是愛，這是母子關系親近的表現，你們都不懂。
On the other side, He Zheng also stretched out his hand unconsciously, which made Zong Wenxiu's mouth twitch. You have managed to share the difficulties.
Both cubs stretched out their hands. Xu Wan looked at the two pairs of claws, as if thinking about where to hit and how much force to use.
The little devil tried to fight back: "Fight me if you want. I don't hold a grudge against you now. But please tell me what I did wrong. I really don't understand."
He Zheng also chimed in, "Aunt, I can hit you as you like, but can you hit me on my butt? My father always hits me with that. I'm not afraid of being hit, I'm mainly afraid of hurting my hands, and it's not easy to turn the pages of a book with my feet."
Zong Wenxiu: “…”
There is no need to study hard to this extent.
Xu Wan said with a wooden face: "Stretch out your left hand."
The two cubs slowly began to switch hands...
The chicken feather whisk came down with a loud bang, and the two brothers screamed immediately, but the magical thing was that neither of them ran away. In the past, Cui Liu had to hold the little devil down when he hit his palms.
After the beating, Xu Wan asked, "Does it hurt?"
He Zheng was about to say that it didn't hurt as much as his father's beating, but when he saw his eldest brother nodding vigorously and knowingly, he quickly nodded too, like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xu Wan was not so angry anymore. She taught him, "It's not that I don't allow you to play with firecrackers. It's okay to set them off in the yard, but they are so dangerous. How can you hold them in your hands? If you don't throw them in time, or if a firecracker explodes on your hands or face, do you know how painful it is? Do you still want to write? Don't you find it ugly to have bumps on your face?"
Xu Wan outputted it all at once, and the two cubs blinked hard to digest it. Following her thoughts, they thought about the miserable situation, which seemed a bit scary...
"Auntie, I was wrong!" He Zheng apologized immediately.
Little Devil: “???”
You are so quick, I haven't even finished thinking!
"I, I also know I was wrong." The little devil stuttered.
Xu Wan looked at him, feeling both angry and amused.
The child was filial and wanted to give her a surprise on the first day of the new year, but he didn't know the right measure and almost gave his mother a heart attack.
"Cuizhi, go get the potion."
"Yes." Cuizhi responded.
The little devil looked at the palm of his left hand. It was a little red, but not swollen or broken. It was much lighter than the time Cui Liu hit him. He said awkwardly, "No need to apply medicine. It doesn't look serious."
"Come here."
"oh."
Xu Wan took the potion and applied it to the little devil. She held the back of his hand with one hand and applied the potion with the other hand: "Just make a sound if it hurts."
"Oh." The little devil felt happy.
Hum? He didn't say anything. This little pain was nothing.
Zong Jincheng was applying medicine and kept staring at her. Because she got up too early, she hadn't put on any makeup or eyebrows. She looked a lot gentler than usual and not fierce at all.
This is what it feels like to have a mother...
If he gets hurt, she'll apply medicine to him and be very gentle to him.
The little devil was now wondering why he only painted one hand just now, otherwise he could have painted for a while longer.
While Xu Wan was applying medicine to him, Zong Wenxiu was also applying medicine to He Zheng. This made the little devil even more satisfied and secretly delighted in his heart.
She only applied medicine to me. She really loved me the most. I was her only son, and I was the one she loved the most!
"Okay, go and have fun. Don't read any more books during the New Year. It's not too late to read tomorrow." Xu Wan instructed.
"I understand, Auntie."
"I understand, aunt."
"I understand...Mother."
The three children left the yard, and Xu Wan was about to go back to wash and put on makeup. The little devil kept looking back as he walked, staring at her back.
He Zheng also asked beside him: "Jincheng, what else do you want to do?"
The little devil shook his head, lowered his brows and thought for a while, then asked, "What do you call your mother?"
"Ah?" He Zheng was a little confused. "Of course it's called mother, isn't it always like that?"
The little devil pouted and said, "Why don't you call her mother? Wouldn't that be more respectful to her?"
"But we're not close. It feels weird to call her mother. Brother Wen Xiu, Wei Xinglu, and my brother all call her mother, so I followed suit." He Zheng was even more confused. Why was the eldest brother asking this?
"Your brothers..." The little devil pondered this sentence, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Yes, he can be with his brother and second aunt, and when his brother calls mom, he can change his words too. This way, no one will know!
Zong Jincheng instantly felt that he was so smart that he could come up with such a great idea without being discovered by others. I am indeed worthy of being the chosen one and the god of literature!
The little devil quickly took Zong Wenxiu's arm affectionately and said, "Brother, brother, let's go find Second Auntie. I want to go out for a cruise."
"Huh? Are you going so early in the morning? I guess everyone hasn't had breakfast yet."
"Oh, yes, let's have breakfast quickly, and then we can go on a cruise together."
The little devil had planned everything well. Once on the cruise ship, his brother would definitely talk to his second aunt, and he would definitely call her mom. Then he would follow his brother and shout along. It would be very natural!
As for He Zheng...
"Brother, I have a book that I have treasured for many years. I can lend it to you for a day." Zong Jincheng started talking nonsense.
He Zheng was delighted and said, "That's great, Jincheng! You are my best brother!!"
Little Devil: Done.
After greeting the elders on the morning of the first day of the New Year, the two mothers took their two children to Qingbo Lake for a boat ride.
On the way, Xu Wan was still asking: "Didn't I tell He Zheng that he didn't need to read on New Year's Day? Why didn't he come with me?"
The little devil lied with his eyes half closed: "He is under a lot of pressure and wants to read more books to catch up with us. He also wants to take the boy's exam."
Xu Wan said, "Then there's basically no need to think about it. He Zheng will definitely come as a runner-up. At most, he will gain some exam experience."
The little devil nodded: "It's okay, respect others."
Xu Wan: “…”
It's scary how compassionate you suddenly become.
You little bastard, stop holding back on any more bad ideas, okay?
Xu Wan thought again and thought that it shouldn't be the case. The little devil was very clingy to her now. He always pestered her to eat and go out to play together. He even played a game of chuiwan with her during breaks to show her how awesome he was.
This crazy kid who is full of show-off...
