"So you're Third Brother's younger brother?"
Little Qi's childish voice came from behind, and Little Fatty nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I'm Brother Shan's little brother. Can I come in and have a meal?"
Just then, his stomach started rumbling, just as expected.
Xiao Qi tilted her head and glanced at him, then happened to see Uncle Tie behind him, and asked curiously, "Uncle, are you also my third brother's younger brother?"
Under Little Fatty's surprised gaze, Uncle Tie nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "That's right! I'm his little brother. I'll hit wherever he tells me to. I'm definitely his most loyal little brother!"
He silently added in his mind: As long as you pay enough, I'll do whatever you want!
"Come on in, we've just started eating, and there's lots of delicious food to eat!"
Xiaoqi had just opened the door to let the two of them in when her second sister pinched her cheek from behind.
"How can you just let people in? What if they're bad people trying to scam you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi immediately took out her fairy wand from her bag and said proudly, "I'll let the bad guys taste my thunderous methods!"
"You!" Han Rou tapped her younger sister's nose, her tone full of doting and helplessness: "If the bad guys have weapons, your magic wand won't be of any use."
"Come on, let's go back for dinner. Since he's your third brother's friend, let's wait for him to come back and treat him ourselves." Han Rou took her sister's hand and walked back, closing the door behind her.
Rejected at the door, Little Fatty awkwardly touched his nose and said helplessly, "Looks like we can only wait for Brother Shan here."
Uncle Tie stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Uncle Tie, what are you thinking about?"
"Does that pretty young girl have a bodyguard? Can I be her bodyguard?"
"Uncle, you're dreaming."
"You little brat, do you want to taste my iron fist?"
Startled, Little Fatty took a step back and quickly put on a fawning smile: "Little Seven from Brother Shan's family is the apple of everyone's eye. How could we possibly let someone like you, with an unknown background and a dark past, be our bodyguard? As far as I know, Little Seven already has bodyguards, and they're twin sisters."
After hearing this, Uncle Tie looked somewhat dejected: "I think that young lady is a pampered young lady. Working by her side is less dangerous and more leisurely. At most, I'll just accompany her shopping and carry her things."
He silently added to himself: Following this troublesome master, the Third Young Master, my future life will definitely be "colorful"! It seems I still need to spend a lot of money to upgrade my Iron Arm; one bullet is simply too few!
Xiao Qi ran back to the dining table and reported to Han Fei anxiously, "Grandpa, there's a fat older brother and an uncle outside. They say they're Third Brother's younger brothers and want to come in for a free meal. The fat older brother's stomach is growling, he's so pitiful!"
"My sister said they might be bad people, so she won't let them in. Can I bring them some good food? They're waiting outside for Third Brother, and I don't know how long they'll have to wait. I'm worried that Fatty Brother will starve to death!"
Han Fei looked at the adorable Xiao Qi, meeting her kind and innocent big eyes, and sighed helplessly: "Alright, you and your sister can take some food to them."
"Hehe, great!" Xiao Qi cheered and ran out with a large stainless steel basin in her hand.
Han Rou chased after her, calling out anxiously, "Little sister, slow down! Don't fall! Slow down..."
The door that Little Fatty was leaning against was suddenly opened, and Little Fatty almost fell inside.
"Fat brother, you almost hit me! But it's okay if you hit me, but if the delicious food in my hand falls on the ground, then you and Uncle will have to wait for Third Brother on an empty stomach!" Little Seven said in her childish voice.
Fortunately, Uncle Tie reached out and pulled Little Fatty up in time. Little Fatty scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Little Seven, I'm so sorry."
"Fat brother, this is for you and uncle. Eat slowly, but don't fight over it!" Xiao Qi blinked her big eyes and said earnestly.
Little Fatty hurriedly reached out and took the large iron basin, thinking to himself: This basin is too big, like a washbasin. How could Uncle and I possibly finish it?
Little Qi waved her little hand: "Bye-bye, Fatty Brother! You wait here for Third Brother, I'm going to eat!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away, running incredibly fast. Han Rou chased after her, calling out, "Little sister, slow down! Don't fall! Slow down..."
"Sister, come and catch me! You can't catch me!" Xiao Qi ran even faster, occasionally turning her head to stick out her tongue at Han Rou, looking mischievous and cute.
Little Fatty looked at the fried pork chops and rice cakes in the big iron basin, the aroma wafting into his nose. He quickly called out to Uncle Tie, "Come and eat, they won't taste good when they get cold!"
The two squatted by the door, not caring about the dirt, and started gnawing on the ribs with their bare hands.
Uncle Tie suddenly felt something was off, frowned and asked, "The two of us are standing guard in front of the door, gnawing on ribs with something that looks like a dog bowl. Doesn't this look like... two dogs?"
Little Fatty was enjoying his meal when he heard this, and his chewing motion suddenly froze.
Uncle Tie shook his head: "You're not like a dog, you're more like a pig."
Little Fatty couldn't eat anymore, so he pushed the iron basin to Uncle Iron: "You eat, I'm full."
He stared at the intersection, hoping that Brother Shan would come back soon. It was so cold outside, and his heart was even colder... Others could get as thin as lightning in the internet addiction school, but he could gain weight just by drinking a sip of cold water!
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Uncle Tie said with a smile while eating his fried pork chop. "Being fat is a blessing. You should be happy."
"Others can get incredibly thin in internet addiction schools, but me? I gain weight just from drinking water!"
With a "pfft," Uncle Tie almost spat out the fried pork chop in his mouth. "Your joke is just too funny."
The chubby boy said with a straight face, "I wasn't joking."
“I’ve been a teacher at that school for quite a few years now, and I’ve seen people like you who never seem to lose weight no matter how much they starve.”
"Are there really unlucky people like me?"
"Yes, there really are. You'd better keep it up, those people are all rich and powerful."
"Only the rich and powerful?" The chubby boy pinched his belly and said, "Is all this fat a good thing?"
“Let’s take one person as an example. Five years ago, that child’s mother died early, and his stepmother was very harsh on him. She told his father that he was too fat and that she would treat him poorly in terms of food so that he wouldn’t develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar.”
“He was so hungry every day that he finally couldn’t resist running to the supermarket to steal food. After his parents were contacted, his stepmother added fuel to the fire, which led his father to send him to an internet addiction school in a fit of anger.”
"His experience inside was terrible. Because his stepmother bribed him, many instructors deliberately made things difficult for him, picking on him and beating him up every now and then. Despite all that, he didn't lose any weight."
