Accidentally entered a high gate

Upon arriving at the playground, Ma Lifeng took off his jacket, warmed up, and began running. After running for a while, Ma Lifeng stopped.

Yan Bang and Yan Min first wrapped him in a blanket, and then carried him home.

After walking for a short while, Yan Bang and Yan Min saw that almost everyone in the compound had come out.

Yan Bang and Yan Min: "..." Didn't Grandpa Feng catch a cold? Didn't Grandma Li's arthritis flare up again? Didn't Grandma Mu get headaches whenever she was exposed to wind? Didn't Aunt Zhao avoid going out at night? Didn't Brother Liu move to the company dormitory? ...

Ma Lifeng pulled a hand out from under the covers and waved it at them. "Hello! Have you eaten yet?"

Old Feng looked at Ma Lifeng and smiled, "Nothing. What did you do to upset your father this time?"

"I don't know. Uncle Feng, do you look younger than when I last saw you? Aunt Li, Aunt Mu, Aunt Liu, did you miss me? Liu Zhibin, I heard from your boss that you're a good worker. Little girl, how old are you? What's your name? Little Fatty, you can talk now, right? Uncle Li, is this lady your granddaughter-in-law?... "

Ma Lifeng ran for an hour. It took him an hour and a half to get home from the track.

After returning home, Ma Lifeng started to whine. "Mom, my legs hurt. Wife, my arms hurt. Daughter, my shoulders hurt. Yan Chuan, my feet hurt."

Ma Jingshan: "..." He should make him run a hundred laps. "Come to the study with me."

Ma Lifeng rubbed Yan Chuan's head before following Ma Jingshan to the study.

Upon entering the study, Ma Lifeng immediately put his hands on his hips, glared at Ma Jingshan, and said, "Old man, are you afraid I'll get arrogant after achieving some success?"

Ma Jingshan glared at him. "If you were so capable of floating, you would have been floating long ago."

Ma Lifeng didn't expect Ma Jingshan to say that.

Ma Lifeng leaned close to Ma Jingshan with a grin and said, "Dad, are you praising me?"

"Um."

He actually said "Hmm"?! "Daughter! Daughter! Daughter!"

Wanwan was playing with Yan Chuan when she suddenly heard her father calling her. And he called quite urgently. "Coming, coming!"

Yan Chuan: "..." Was his dad up to his old tricks again? "Dad, why are you calling my sister?"

"I'll ask your sister to help me appease your grandfather."

"Oh." His grandfather adored his sister.

Ma Jingshan rubbed his forehead. "Why did you call Wanwan?" He didn't scold him.

Ma Lifeng first thought to himself, "Have you been possessed?", before saying, "This is the first time you've praised me, so of course I have to brag to my daughter."

He had just finished speaking when Wanwan came in.

Just as Wanwan was about to ask Ma Lifeng why he had called her in, Ma Lifeng recounted what had just happened. "Your grandfather actually praised me! Aren't you surprised? Unexpected?"

Wanwan instantly understood why her father had called her in. "You've done such a good job these past few years, isn't it perfectly normal for my grandfather to praise you?"

Ma Lifeng was relieved to hear Wanwan say it was normal. "That's true. Dad, praise me a few more times. I was just thinking about the accident."

"Get out of here." This kid probably thought he was possessed by something. "You already spend very little time with Yan Chuan, and now you're saying you want to marry him off. Tell me, shouldn't you be punished?"

"Serves you right! I'll go apologize to Yan Chuan later. And please praise me a few more times."

Ma Jingshan wanted him to go running on the track again. "Do you really want to apologize to Yan Chuan? Or do you want me to praise you a few more times?"

"Both of them really mean it."

Ma Jingshan glared at him again. "You've done a good job these past few years. Alright?"

"Hehe... Alright. I'm going to apologize to Yan Chuan." With that, Ma Lifeng happily left.

Wanwan sidled up to Ma Jingshan, looked at him, and smiled, "Grandpa, aren't you happy?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you expect my dad to do such a good job?"

"Hmm. Your dad used to want to be fed when he was little. How are your studies going?"

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a few words before changing the subject.

On the other side, after Ma Lifeng went out, he walked to Yan Chuan's side, rubbed Yan Chuan's head, and then said, "Father shouldn't have said that just now. Father apologizes to you."

"No, no. I know you're joking with me."

Ma Lifeng ruffled Yan Chuan's hair again. "Dad's going back the day after tomorrow. You should come back with Dad. Dad's feeling lonely all by himself."

"Okay." The reason his grandfather punished his father was probably because he already spent little time with his father, and his father still made those kinds of jokes. If his father had said he wanted to marry off his eldest and second eldest brothers, his grandfather probably wouldn't have punished him.

Ma Lifeng patted his head again after he agreed. "Dad, daughter, I'm hungry."

Ma Jingshan and Wanwan came out of the study when they heard him call them.

After dinner, Ma Lifeng watched TV with Su Jingyu for a while before going upstairs.

When Ma Lifeng went upstairs, Zheng Chunfang had already prepared his toiletries. "Go take a shower."

Ma Lifeng leaned against Zheng Chunfang as if he had no bones. "I'm too tired from running."

Zheng Chunfang: "..."

Zheng Chunfang tried to push him away.

But the more she pushed, the tighter Ma Lifeng clung to her...

The next morning, Ma Lifeng was sound asleep when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Ma Lifeng was about to say, "Stop knocking, I'm not awake yet," when Wanwan's voice came from outside. "Dad, I'm going to exercise. Are you coming? Mom says you have a little belly."

Ma Lifeng immediately looked at Zheng Chunfang. "Wife, are you starting to dislike me?"

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She just said it casually. "Ma Yanlin! Are you looking for a beating?"

"Hahahaha... Dad, I'm going to train. Dad, if you don't train, Mom will start to dislike you." After saying that, Wanwan ran off.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." This brat! "Don't listen to her. She just wants to see us argue."

Ma Lifeng looked at her with a wronged expression and said, "You said I have a little belly."

You already had it. "I was just trying to comfort Yan Chuan, not to criticize you."

"You said I have a little belly."

Zheng Chunfang: "..."

It took Zheng Chunfang a while to calm Ma Lifeng down.

When Wanwan returned from her workout, she saw Zheng Chunfang standing at the door with a broom handle in her hand.

Wanwan: "..." She has this kind of thing at home?

Yan Chuan was also surprised to see what Zheng Chunfang was holding. "Mom, we still have this in our house?"

As Zheng Chunfang walked towards Wanwan with the broom handle in her hand, she said, "This is what your mother brought with her when she came to Beijing with your father."

As Wanwan backed away, she said, "Mom, you really know how to manage a household. Mom, you're so thoughtful... Mom, I was wrong."

Zheng Chunfang chased after Wanwan with a broom handle, saying, "Since you know you're wrong, stop and take the beating."

As Wanwan ran, she cried out, "Dad! Help! Dad! Help!"

……

The neighbors were all envious when they heard how lively the Ma family was so early in the morning.

Hearing Wanwan scream for help, Ma Lifeng wanted to go out and see what was happening. But he'd only taken two steps when the phone rang. Ma Lifeng went over and answered it. "Where is this? Who is it?"

"Hello! I'm Secretary Zhao. I'd like to speak with Director Ma."

"Hello! This is me. Who called me?"

"The leader has two hours this morning."

As soon as Ma Lifeng returned, he told Secretary Zhao that he wanted to report to the higher-ups. Ma Lifeng was pleased to hear this. "What time is the leader available?"

"From 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock."

"I understand. Thank you!"

"No, no need. See you this morning!"

See you in the morning!

After finishing his meal, Ma Lifeng tidied up and went to find the senior leader.

After the senior leader finished his work, he let him in.

As Ma Lifeng entered, he was about to greet the senior leader when the leader looked at him and smiled, "I heard your dad made you run again? What did you do to upset him this time?"

Ma Lifeng: "..."
