When Hongli first visited Heiyang's house as a child, she was quite surprised to see that his house was so much bigger than her own.
However, it is clear that whether it was a "new house" built twenty years ago or an ancestral home passed down through generations, Hongli Heiyang eventually moved out.
I'm really going to miss my parents!
But as long as I think about using the excuse that "it's always inconvenient to live with elders after marriage" to move out, I can avoid my parents and stay up all night... cough cough...
Just kidding, just kidding. Hei Yang Hong Li said that they were really just trying to cultivate their own independent spirit!
Well, how it will develop after becoming independent is another matter...
At this moment, Xiao Huo was gently swinging her body while holding the swing rope with one hand, and holding the communication spirit stone that emitted a faint light in the other hand.
She squinted at the screen on the other end of the call and couldn't help but ask, "So, Mom and Dad, when did you sneak back?"
"Well, it's not really considered sneaking out, it sounds so awful..."
Hei Yang lay on his pillow with a helpless expression. He coughed lightly and seriously corrected his daughter, saying, "It's normal for us to go home when we're tired from playing, right?"
"We're not going to do anything shady, so how can you call it sneaking away..."
"Hmm, what Dad says makes sense..."
Xiao Huo was stunned for a moment, then realized that what his father said made a lot of sense.
"Even so, we should still tell Xiao Huo!"
Little Fire pouted, a serious expression on her face, and said, "What if Mom and Dad get lost? Little Fire will be very worried!"
"Oh, I don't think the two of us should be so badly unable to find our way home..."
Hei Yang revealed his crescent-shaped eyes. He knew that his daughter was planning to support her parents in their old age, but there was no need to treat them as if they had dementia!
"Besides, even if Xiao Huo doesn't believe your mother, shouldn't he believe his father?"
Hei Yang snorted, "Even if your mother is so stupid she can't find her way home, she still has your reliable father by her side!"
"makes sense……"
Xiao Huo nodded thoughtfully.
Although her father is actually quite troublesome, in essence, he's just as much of a handful as her mother.
But because Dad was worried that Mom might suffer because she was unreliable, or that she might upset the elders because of her careless words, he was always concerned about Mom.
So when her dad is around, he always forces himself to be more composed than her mom.
That way, I can give my mom a good punch to bring her back to her senses when she gets carried away, cough cough...
"But speaking of which, where is Mom?"
Xiao Huo only saw her father's figure on the communication screen and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is Mom asleep?"
Based on Xiao Huo's understanding of his mother, at this point, his mother would usually pounce on him and say things like, "You're the unreliable one!" or "You bastard, you're slandering me again!"
Why is it so quiet now?
Could it be that Mom was really tired from shopping, so she fell asleep as soon as she got home?
"Her? Hehe~"
Hei Yang chuckled mischievously and gently moved the camera behind him: "Look, see that?"
"Eh?"
Xiao Huo was stunned for a moment.
Hongli was kneeling beside Heiyang, busy massaging his legs.
When she heard herself mentioned in the conversation, she only gave her a resentful look, then pouted and turned her head back to her work.
Looking at her pitiful, wronged wife-like appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think that Hei Yang had bullied her!
"Ah this..."
Little Fire snapped out of her daze, revealing her crescent-shaped eyes, and chuckled, "So that's how it is. Did Mom make a mistake again and get punished...?"
This scene might conjure up hundreds of thousands of words of family disputes for someone else, but for Xiao Huo, it only took a little thought to understand what had happened.
Based on Xiao Huo's understanding of her parents, there's a 90% chance that the current situation is because her mother deliberately provoked her father.
As for the reasons why her mother acted so irrationally, Xiao Huo was too lazy to guess—her mother never needed a reason to act irrationally in front of her father.
"whispering sound."
Hearing Xiao Huo's confident tone on the other end of the communication, Hong Li, who was obediently massaging Hei Yang's legs, looked displeased.
Why was her little fire so immediately convinced that Hong Li had made a mistake and was being punished?
Does she seem like the kind of dishonest person?
Although that is indeed the case...
But putting aside the facts, isn't it possible that Hei Yang is at fault?
Why can't it be like this?
For example, Hei Yang making unreasonable demands and verbally abusing the innocent Xiao Li...
For example, Hei Yang coming home drunk and abusing his poor wife, or something like that...
For example, Hei Yang might suddenly get upset and take it out on her...
For example...
Okay, okay, the more she talked about it, the less she felt that Hei Yang was capable of doing such a thing.
She's done all sorts of bad things, her heart is filthy, she wronged Hao Yang—it's all her fault!
But damn it, when exactly did Hei Yang become a bigger figure in Xiao Huo's heart than her beloved mother?
She wanted to rush over and argue loudly with the prejudiced father and daughter.
But when she thought about how she was still "a criminal" and in labor reform, and how she couldn't hold her head high in front of Hei Yang, she decided to put up with him for now.
I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
Hongli gritted her teeth as she massaged Heiyang's legs.
"Hi~"
Hei Yang gasped. Someone was getting impatient, but he didn't say anything.
"dad?"
Xiao Huo asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Cough cough, it's nothing, it's nothing serious."
Hei Yang feigned composure and got down to business: "So what are you going to say tonight?"
Are you coming back, or will you stay at your grandma's?
If Xiao Huo doesn't plan to come back tonight, he'll activate all of his defense systems.
Once opened, it completely blocks the entire house on the map, making it quiet and undisturbed.
If Xiao Huo hadn't given her a heads-up beforehand, and Hei Yang Hong Li hadn't left the door open for her, she might not have been able to find her way home.
"Hmm, Xiao Huo hasn't decided yet."
Xiao Huo withdrew her hand from the swing, rested her index finger on her chin, and pondered earnestly: "When it gets a little darker, Xiao Huo wants to go out and play with Grandma and Grandpa again."
They told Xiao Huo that the south of the city... well, Xiao Huo didn't know exactly where the south of the city was!
They said there will be a really nice fireworks display in the south of the city tonight, and Xiao Huo wants to see it!
"Over there in the south of the city, ah..."
Hei Yang looked thoughtful and recalled, "When we were young a few years ago, our parents often took us there to play, but we haven't gone much in recent years."
I thought they stopped setting off fireworks there, but they still do?
"It's the same few dishes every year, nothing interesting to see."
Hong Li's plaintive voice came from the side. After a pause, she couldn't help but say, "But it is indeed quite dazzling."
Hong Li sighed, lifted one of Hei Yang's legs, clenched her fingers into a cone shape, and pressed down hard on the sole of Hei Yang's foot!
"hiss--"
Hei Yang's eyelids twitched, and he said irritably, "Someone, could you please tone down your murderous intent a bit!"
"whispering sound."
Hong Li pouted: "I know, I know, Young Master Hei Yang is really hard to please."
"Wow, even Mom praised it for being so dazzling, it must be really beautiful!"
Little Fire skillfully ignored her parents' bickering, her eyes shining.
As far as she knows, the things her mother criticizes aren't necessarily bad, but anything that her mother praises must be pretty good!
"This is definitely worth watching."
Hei Yang nodded in affirmation and said, "I remember that at first, my parents took us there every year."
When we got a little older, we made up excuses that the place was too messy to go there.
