"That's right, sister-in-law, she's a girl, only a few years old, so cute and cuddly. She's nothing like the tattletale you're saying she'd do!"
"If you don't believe me, ask your parents!"
“Your sister-in-law is right. Our Nini may be a girl, but she has a tenacity that rivals any boy.”
"Dad, that's just how you put it. If I had to say, she was born into the wrong family. If you shaved her head and dressed her in boys' clothes, she would look just like her two older brothers, practically a boy."
"Grandma, I'm not a boy. Boys can't wear pretty dresses."
"But your handsome grandson only wore it for one day, and look how dirty it is now."
"What should I do? But I like to play behind my brother. Maybe I shouldn't wear it for now."
"That's fine! You can wash it after you change and wear it later. You can wear it for today!"
"oh!"
"See? This kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
"At least this proves that my sister-in-law won't be fooled."
"That's true."
"Help! Great-Grandma, please save me, my mom is going to beat me."
"Xiangxiang, what happened? Why did your mom beat you?"
"I don't know, but they just want to beat me up?"
"If you don't tell me, I won't care!"
"Great-grandfather?"
"Don't look at Great-Grandpa, his words don't count."
"Don't bother looking at us, we're no use!"
"Brother, you'd better hurry up and tell us! Otherwise, Uncle might spank you later!"
"Xiangxiang, come here and tell Grandpa what happened and why Mom beat you."
"I ruined Mom's bag!"
"What's wrong with it? How did it get broken?"
"It broke, and it even had a big hole in it. My mom said it broke after only a few uses, and she said it was a waste of money to get upset."
But I found that thing up there interesting and wanted to take it off, but I never imagined it would break so easily.
"Xiangxiang, you didn't actually take the sign off, did you?!"
"Third Grandma, I really didn't mean it, okay? That thing isn't sturdy at all."
"Is it not sturdy, or did you use something to remove it?"
“I used something to cut it off.”
"Okay! This is bad even if it's not bad."
"Grandpa, what should I do? I really didn't mean to break it, but Mom is so scary, she's going to spank me."
“You can only take it if I hit you. Your mother’s bag may not be worth much, but it still costs a hundred or two yuan. You’ve broken it. If I don’t beat you, who will I beat?”
"Oh! Then I'll get beaten up again. Fourth Grandpa, Fourth Grandma, can I come to your house with you?"
Why did you come to our house?
"Wouldn't that prevent you from getting beaten up?"
Do you think it will work?
"It will definitely work, right? Your house is very, very far away, my mom definitely can't reach me, so I won't have to be helped."
"I think you're trying to be a hero. Since you've learned to shirk responsibility, go stand by the wall."
"grandfather?"
"Hurry up and go, or you'll be punished even more severely later. Don't worry about anyone else, no one will plead for you."
And you, Nini, go stand with your brother.
"Oh! But I didn't do anything wrong!"
"No? How could that be? In the past, don't make me say it twice, think carefully about what you did today?"
"oh!"
"Look at him, he's still unwilling. I don't know who he takes after, already looking for a backer at such a young age."
"It's true, kids these days are smarter than their fathers were back then."
"He's not only smarter, he's also more mischievous than he was back then."
What are you looking at?
"No, nothing, Dad!"
"Why are you hiding? And why are you even looking at your butt? What's going on?"
"Big brother, Xiao Xuan must have done this because he saw Qiangqiang and Nini being punished."
"Come here!"
"I don't!"
"Did you hear me? Don't make me say it a second time, or you'll be punished more than just a punishment later."
"Why should I be punished? I didn't do anything wrong."
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake today?
No, I don't think so!
"Look, you're not even sure yourself, and you're not very confident. Go and stand in the corner with your younger siblings as punishment."
"Ah! You're a bad person, not my dad. I'm going to find Grandma to settle this with me."
"Go ahead and see if you get punished the same way."
I don't believe it.
"You don't believe there's no way?"
"snort!"
"Why did you come all this way? Are you tired from playing?"
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, great-great-grandfather, great-great-grandmother, great-aunt, great-great ...great-grandfather, great-great-great-grandmother."
"Okay, you little rascal, what brings you here? Are you here to plead for Qiangqiang and Nini?"
"No, Great-Grandma, Dad said I have to come and be punished too! Why?"
"So how did your father explain to you why you were punished?"
"I don't know, I mean..."
"See! You don't even know if you've made a mistake, and you speak so weakly. If we don't punish you, who should we punish?"
"Should this also be punished?"
"Of course, if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist; if it does, it does exist. But you shouldn't doubt yourself. Once you start doubting yourself, it means you're guilty."
So let's move on!
"Grandma, what if I answer no? Will I not be punished?"
"No, because you are the older brother. You have a responsibility to supervise your younger siblings so that they don't make mistakes, and you also have a responsibility to protect them."
So you will still be punished!
"Ah! Can I not be the older brother?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? Do you think you can just stop being a big brother just because you don't want to?"
"Can't I?"
"Of course not, it's because you were born before your younger siblings. Alright, hurry up and go! No matter how much you delay, you can't avoid being punished."
"Oh well!"
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
"sorry!"
"It's okay, I'm the older brother!"
"Xuanxuan really does act like a good older brother!"
"That's right, but if this kid gets naughty, I really don't know what to do!"
"That's because Mom couldn't bear to scold him!"
"They're only so young, it's not too late to teach them in a couple of years."
"What do you know, you old woman? Don't you know that a child's future can be predicted by age three?"
"Only you, you old codger, know this! Nobody understands it as well as you do!"
"Alright, Mom, don't take it to heart with Dad. But then again, nowadays almost every family has only one child, so they really need to be properly educated."
"That's right. I heard that the Sheng family recently got into trouble because of that kid in their family."
"What happened?"
"Isn't it because he spoiled his youngest son? I heard that he killed someone while driving, not only did he not admit his guilt, but he also found someone to take the blame, and the worst part is that he even brought up his father."
"this?"
"See! No matter who the child in the family is, even if they are young, they still need to be properly educated."
"Dad is right. Educating children is the key to a family's long-term prosperity."
