"Pan Pan, be good and listen to your mother at home. Grandma, we had pork rib soup at noon today. It was so delicious."
The little girl lay in her grandmother's arms, talking non-stop with her little mouth.
"Okay, just be obedient."
The old lady coaxed her little granddaughter, and the old man went straight into the main room and came out holding a red tasseled spear.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? You're just cleaning up those scraps. No need to use a knife or a gun."
Zhang Shuguang quickly stopped his grandfather who was about to fight to the death.
