Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Liu Guangtian walked over slowly, holding a boiled egg in his hand. His expression was somewhat unnatural, and he dared not look directly at Lin Tian.

He shoved the eggs into Lin Tian's hand and turned to leave.

Lin Tian took the still-warm egg, blinked, and asked in a childlike, questioning tone:

"Brother Guangtian, why is there only one? Second Uncle just said that he would give one to each of us siblings."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear enough.

The few people who hadn't yet left the courtyard heard this and turned to look.

Liu Guangtian stiffened, turned around, and forced an awkward smile: "Ah... this... we're out of eggs at home, this is the only one left. Just make do with it, it's okay if you eat one less bite."

He spoke of it casually, as if it were no big deal at all.

But Lin Tian could see clearly that there were still a few yellow bits of food stuck between Liu Guangtian's teeth.

That's an egg yolk.

Oh.

Do you really think he's stupid?

The other egg was definitely eaten by Liu Guangtian himself.

In short, of the two eggs that were supposed to be there, he only had one left.

Lin Tian lowered his head, his long eyelashes concealing the coldness in his eyes. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already misty with tears, and his voice was filled with grievance:

"But...but Tangtang is still so young...she needs nutrition...Second Uncle clearly promised..."

Anyone who saw that appearance would feel sorry for her.

People in the courtyard were whispering among themselves:

"The Liu family is so stingy! They said they'd give us two eggs, but they only gave us one?"

"The Yan family is even stingier; didn't you see they only gave us three cornbread buns?"

"That brat Liu Guangtian must have stolen some food himself..."

"Look at how guilty he is..."

Liu Guangtian was embarrassed by what he was being said, but he couldn't retaliate, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Oh, it's just an egg. I'll make it up to you next time... next time."

After saying that, as if afraid that Lin Tian would pester her again, she ran away without looking back. Her back looked like that of a guilty thief.

Lin Tian stood there, looking at the egg in his hand, his eyes gradually turning from bewilderment to coldness.

it is good.

well.

very good.

You think you can fool me because I'm young?

Liu Guangtian, you have already chosen your own path to death.

With a thought, the ghostly shadow beneath his feet silently detached from his body and followed Liu Guangtian away without a sound.

Lin Tian turned around and went back into the house, closing the door behind him.

Inside the house, Tangtang was sitting obediently on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her little feet swinging back and forth.

When she saw her brother come in, her eyes lit up: "Brother!"

Lin Tian walked over, his cold expression instantly melting away, replaced by a gentle smile: "Tangtang, look what your brother brought you!"

He held up the egg in his hand.

Tangtang's eyes widened: "An egg!"

"Yes, eggs."

Lin Tian sat next to his sister and carefully peeled the eggshell.

The boiled eggs emitted a faint aroma, and Tangtang couldn't help but swallow.

Lin Tian held the peeled egg to his younger sister's lips: "Here, candy, have some."

Tangtang opened her little mouth and carefully took a small bite.

The egg yolk melted in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes contentedly, a happy smile spreading across her little face.

"Is it good?" Lin Tian asked softly.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Tangtang nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

But instead of continuing to eat, she pushed the egg towards her brother's mouth, saying, "Brother, you should eat too..."

Lin Tian felt a warmth in his heart.

This little sister is so sensible it breaks your heart.

"If brother doesn't eat, candy will."

He pushed the eggs back.

"No..." Tangtang stubbornly shook her head, "If Guoguo doesn't eat it, Tangtang won't eat it either..."

Her little hands gripped Lin Tian's clothes tightly, her big, dark eyes staring at her brother. That look melted Lin Tian's heart.

In his previous life, he was an only child with no brothers or sisters.

Having transmigrated and gained this younger sister, it was initially just a responsibility, an obsession of the original owner.

but now……

Looking at Tangtang's earnest little face, and seeing the dependence and care in her eyes, his heart suddenly softened.

"Okay, brother, have a bite."

Lin Tian gave in and took a small bite of the egg white from his sister's hand.

Tangtang was finally satisfied and smiled happily, revealing her little teeth that hadn't fully grown in yet.

She held the egg and ate it in small bites, looking up at her brother after each bite and then offering Lin Tian another bite.

That look in his eyes was as if he were sharing the most precious thing in the world.

Looking at her, Lin Tian suddenly felt a strong urge to protect her.

If I were to transmigrate into the body of Sha Zhu, and have a sister like He Yushui who is pretentious, selfish, and even helps outsiders harm her own brother...

Lin Tian shook his head, banishing the terrifying idea from his mind.

Fortunately, his younger sister is Tangtang.

Tangtang is sensible, well-behaved, and knows how to care for her older brother.

"Tangtang," Lin Tian called her softly.

"Um?"

Tangtang looked up, a little bit of egg yolk still on the corner of her mouth.

Lin Tian reached out and gently wiped the egg yolk from the corner of her mouth with his thumb: "From now on, your brother will let you eat eggs and meat every day, okay?"

Tangtang nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

But after thinking for a moment, she added, "Don't let Tangtang eat this every day... Give it to Guoguo... If Guoguo eats more, he'll grow taller... and then he won't get beaten up by the bad guys in the yard."

Lin Tian's eyes welled up with tears, and he almost shed one.

He quickly turned his head, pretending to look out the window, and took a few deep breaths to suppress the sour feeling.

"Tangtang is such a good girl." He turned around, patted his sister's head, and said, "Come on, let me comb your hair."

He picked up a small wooden comb, which belonged to the original owner's mother.

Tangtang's hair is a bit messy; it's been tangled up after a few days of neglect.

Lin Tian carefully combed his younger sister's hair, his movements very gentle, afraid of hurting her.

Tangtang sat obediently, her little head swaying slightly with the movement of the comb.

"Guoguo..." Tangtang suddenly whispered.

"Um?"

"Tangtang misses her parents..." Her voice was trembling with tears.

Lin Tian paused in combing his hair.

He put down the comb, hugged his younger sister, and whispered, "Father and Mother have gone to a very, very far place... They will be watching over us from heaven and protecting us."

This is a cliché, but it's enough for a three-and-a-half-year-old child.

Tangtang buried her face in her brother's arms and sobbed softly, "Tangtang misses Mom combing Tangtang's hair... misses Dad telling Tangtang stories..."

Lin Tian gently patted her back: "From now on, your brother will comb Tangtang's hair and tell her stories, okay?"

"Um..."

Tangtang nodded, her little hands gripping her brother's clothes tightly.

Lin Tian sat with his younger sister in his arms, his consciousness already with the ghostly figure.

The matter of Liu Guangtian embezzling eggs has been thoroughly investigated.

The other egg was indeed eaten by Liu Guangtian.

Not only did he eat them, but he also shared the egg whites with Liu Guangfu, boasting, "Does that brat from the Lin family deserve to eat two eggs? Giving him one is already a favor."

"Liu Guangtian, you good-for-nothing! You promised to give the Lin family two eggs, but you only gave them one?"

Do you know I promised Director Li? If he finds out, you're slapping your father in the face.

Liu Haizhong was outside the courtyard just now. After all, Jia Dongxu was killed, and people from the neighborhood committee would definitely come over.

After seeing Director Wang off, he went into the backyard and heard people talking about the eggs.

Liu Guangtian retorted, "Dad, it's just an egg, is it really that big of a deal? That Lin kid, we're already being generous by giving him one, he really thinks he's some kind of..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly slapped across the face.

Liu Guangtian froze, covering his face, looking at his father in disbelief: "Dad...you hit me?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "So what if I hit you? I want to slap you too."

As he spoke, he took the Seven Wolves cigarette and swiped it.

"Ah!! Dad! I was wrong, I won't do it again, ahh!!"

Liu Guangtian screamed repeatedly.
