Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Wu Sui held his water glass, head down, and remained silent for a long time.

Within seconds, sweat was pouring down Chen Xue's forehead.

She clutched the hem of her clothes helplessly, looking at Wang Feng for help.

Wang Feng was also feeling quite uneasy.

She's usually loud and boisterous, but when it comes to Wu Sui making decisions, she gets nervous.

After all, Wu Sui is now the pillar of the family, earning astronomical sums that they never dared to dream of.

This sudden suggestion to stay in town would make anyone think twice.

Wu Gang put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and tried to smooth things over.

"Dafeng, what are you two thinking about?"

"Ah Sui bought such a big piece of land, and the foundation for our house is already laid. It's so spacious living in the village, why go to town?"

"Everything in town costs money, even drinking water requires paying a water fee."

Upon hearing Wu Gang's words, Chen Xue lowered her head even further and quickly tugged at Wu Sui's sleeve.

"Ah Sui, I... I just said it offhand."

"If you feel it's inconvenient, we won't go. The village is fine too, and Ya Ya can play there..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Sui suddenly burst out laughing.

That laugh left everyone at the table completely dumbfounded.

"What are you thinking? I didn't say I disagreed."

He turned his head and waved to Xiao Hu, who was still engrossed in eating the large yellow croaker.

"Little Tiger, Ya Ya, come here."

The two little ones were eating with their mouths full of oil when they heard the call, so they quickly put down their chopsticks and ran over.

Wu Sui hugged Ya Ya tightly, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then turned to look at Xiao Hu.

"Little Tiger, your second uncle is asking you, do you want to go to school in town?"

Xiao Hu paused for a moment, wiped his mouth with the greasy back of his hand, and shook his head like a rattle drum.

"I'm not going!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's eyes widened, and she was about to lash out when Wu Sui raised his hand to stop her, looking at his nephew with great interest.

"Why not go? There are main roads, cars, and good food in town."

Xiao Hu pouted, looking disgusted.

"The town is boring; it's crowded with people, and there isn't even a mud puddle."

"It's so nice to be in the village. I can go beachcombing and catching crabs, and I can also go to the cowshed and set off firecrackers to blow up cow dung."

"Yesterday I even blew the chickens at Wang Ergou's house bald."

The moment those words were spoken, the dinner table fell silent.

Wu Gang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Wang Feng's blood pressure spiked immediately.

She glanced around, then grabbed the broom handle from behind the door and smacked Xiao Hu on the bottom.

"I'll teach you to fry cow dung, I'll teach you to fry someone else's chicken."

"I work myself to the bone every day, and you little brat are causing trouble for me in the village, aren't you?"

Little Tiger let out a howl and jumped up, clutching his bottom as he ran wildly around the yard.

"Mom, why are you hitting me? Uncle asked me, and I'm just telling the truth, okay? Didn't you say children shouldn't lie?"

"Dare to talk back? Stop right there!" Wang Feng chased after him wildly with a broom in hand, and the yard was instantly thrown into chaos.

Chen Yang and Wang Dazhu were trying so hard not to laugh that their faces turned red.

Wu Sui smiled and shook his head, looking down at his daughter in his arms.

"Yaya, your brother doesn't want to go. Do you want to go to kindergarten in town?"

Ya Ya blinked her big eyes, somewhat confused, and grabbed Wu Sui's collar.

"Daddy, what's kindergarten? Is it tasty?"

Chen Xue, who was listening nearby, was both annoyed and amused, and reached out to tap her daughter's forehead.

"Little glutton, kindergarten isn't for eating, it's for going to school."

Wu Sui stroked Ya Ya's soft hair and explained gently.

"There are many slides, toys, and a large group of children your age in the kindergarten."

"You can play games together, sing and dance together, does Ya Ya want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and she gripped Wu Sui's clothes tightly with her little hands.

"Really? Will I have lots of children to play with?"

Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, Wu Sui felt a pang of sadness.

He's been busy making money lately, but he's neglected his child's situation in the village.

He used to be a good-for-nothing scoundrel, stealing chickens and dogs and doing all sorts of bad things. The villagers avoided him like the plague.

As a result, Ya Ya was ostracized in the village, and the adults wouldn't let their children play with her at all.

If it weren't for Xiao Hu protecting his sister like a little wolf cub every day, Ya Ya probably wouldn't have had any playmates during her childhood.

Although he has reformed and even helped everyone make money, the adults' views have changed, and the barriers between children won't disappear so quickly.

"Really, when has Daddy ever lied to you?"

Wu Sui suppressed the bitterness in his heart and brushed her nose.

"Go, Daddy, I want to go to kindergarten!"

The little girl bounced happily in Wu Sui's arms, her giggles clear and melodious.

But Little Tiger, who was hiding all over the yard from his mother chasing him, refused to do it.

He clung to the door frame and shouted at Ya Ya.

"Ya Ya, don't do anything silly!"

"Kindergarten is like a big iron cage; once you're inside, they lock you up and won't let you out!"

"Once we go to town, you can't come with me to catch crabs at the beach anymore, and you can't go bomb the village chief's toilet either."

"And... we can no longer go to the back mountain to grill fish and shrimp."

Xiao Hu shouted the whole thing out in one breath, and then proudly raised his chin at Ya Ya.

Wang Feng's hand, which was holding a broom, froze in mid-air, and she was completely stunned.

Wu Gang suddenly stood up and started looking for a suitable tool.

Blow up the toilet?

Secretly grilling fish and shrimp with my younger sister?

Playing with fire?!

Wang Feng took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, and her voice trembling.

"Wu Xiaohu... what did you say you brought your sister along for?"

Little Tiger then realized he had let something slip, his face turned pale instantly, and he stammered as he backed away.

"No... I didn't do anything, I just... I just grilled two small shrimp..."

"Wu Gang, close the door!" Wang Feng shouted angrily, her eyes turning red.

Without saying a word, Wu Gang rushed over and slammed the courtyard gate shut, then casually pulled out his belt.

"You little bastard, how dare you play with fire with your sister?"

"What if we set the mountain on fire and burn you two down with it?"

"If I don't break your legs today, I'm not surnamed Wu!"

The mixed doubles match officially begins.

Suddenly, Xiao Hu's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, echoed through the courtyard.

"Dad, Mom, I was wrong! I'll never do it again."

"Second Uncle, help me! Ya Ya, help me..."

Ya Ya was so scared that she shrank into Wu Sui's arms, covering her eyes and not daring to look, but her little shoulders were shaking, clearly trying to suppress her laughter.

Holding her daughter, Wu Sui watched the chaotic scene in the yard, and the heaviness in her heart was completely dispelled. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chen Yang and Wang Dazhu were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

The dinner ended amidst Xiaohu's wailing and everyone's laughter.
