He Zizhen ate a candied hawthorn, glanced at He Tingchuan, and pointed.
He Ziqian didn't understand: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you pointing at your uncle? That's rude."
He Zizhen gave him a speechless look: "Those people were beaten by my uncle. They were harassing my aunt, and my uncle came to her rescue. He knocked them to the ground with a few blows."
Recalling the dangerous moment, He Zizhen said with lingering fear, "Who knew they were hiding knives? If I hadn't warned them, my uncle would have almost been stabbed!"
Yun Jin nodded: "Thanks to Zizhen this time, I'll treat you to roast duck for lunch to repay you!"

He Ziqian gave a thumbs up: "Uncle, call me next time something like this happens."
He Zizhen reminded her, "Mom won't allow you to fight."

He Tingchuan: "..."

It was as if they were eating grilled meat skewers instead of candied hawthorns.
The siblings were stunned.
He Ziqian: "......"
Uncle, you weren't like this before!
He Zizhen: "......"
Uncle, you seem like a stranger to me again!
