Accidentally entered a high gate

Little Bowl: "..." Was her dad joking? Or had he really discovered something?

Little Wanwan still hadn't figured it out? Ma Lifeng continued, "Daddy's not teasing you, Daddy's serious. Daddy just hadn't thought about it that way before. Daddy's asking you, when I had someone shave your baby hair, you cried so hard you were snotting up your nose, was it because your head was the only part of your body with hair?"

Little Bowl: "..." You're the one with snot bubbles coming out of your nose! "Ah ah..." So what if I am?

Ma Lifeng: "..." No way?! His daughter really is a fox spirit?!

He was actually just trying to trick his daughter, because she was different from his third and fourth nephews and nieces when they were little. He was already old enough to remember things when his third and fourth nephews and nieces were born.

just now……

His daughter's expression told him: he guessed right!

Ma Lifeng's feelings were somewhat complicated. "Daughter, let me make one thing clear first: even if you are a fox spirit in disguise, you are still my daughter."

That's more or less.

Xiao Wanwan raised her right hand and extended it towards Ma Lifeng. Meaning: Come on, let's get to know each other again.

This time, the father and daughter's hearts were connected.

Ma Lifeng raised his right hand and grasped Xiao Wanwan's hand. "Hello! I'm your father."

"Ah..." Hello! I'm your daughter.

After the father and daughter finished speaking, they shook their hands again before letting go.

Ma Lifeng: "We'll talk in detail after your mother falls asleep. Your mother hasn't seen much of the world, so let's not tell her about you being a fox spirit yet. It's not that I'm afraid she won't accept it; even if she couldn't, I could persuade her. I just think that with her current level of understanding, if she knew your origins, she wouldn't be able to hide it from others. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Um."

"That's all for now, Dad's going to wash his hands."

"Um."

Zheng Chunfang brought in the food and was a little puzzled to see Ma Lifeng still washing his hands. "Why aren't you finished washing yet? Did you shovel manure this afternoon?"

He'd rather throw manure around.

If his daughter were an ordinary child, he would only need to make sure she was well-fed and clothed.

just now……

Ma Lifeng wiped his face. "I'm wondering what I should bring to work tomorrow with my bowl?"

Zheng Chunfang placed the food on the table. "Don't worry, I've prepared everything."

"Oh my! How can you be so virtuous?"

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her husband started joking again. His next line will probably be: "I have great taste."

Sure enough, no sooner had she finished thinking than Ma Lifeng added, "I have excellent taste!"

Zheng Chunfang couldn't help but smile. She was understanding her man more and more. "Yes, yes, you have excellent taste. Are you done washing?"

"I'm done washing." Ma Lifeng sat down at the table, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, and leaned over to hold it to the rim of the small bowl. "Daughter, do you want to eat some meat?"

Little Bowl: "..." I don't want to eat meat, I want to change my dad.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her husband is so wicked. Luckily, her daughter is still young and doesn't know what meat tastes like yet. Otherwise, she would definitely cry in front of him.

Little Bowl pretends to kick Ma Lifeng.

Ma Lifeng quickly sat back down. "Hahahaha..."

Xiao Wanwan rolled her eyes at Ma Lifeng. Meaning: Naive.

Ma Lifeng wasn't angry at all. "Ha...woo..."

Zheng Chunfang stuffed a pancake into Ma Lifeng's mouth. "Aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, you can teach me some more lessons. I've missed too many classes."

Ma Lifeng took the biscuit out of his mouth. "I suspect you don't just want me to eat quickly, I suspect you're avenging your daughter."

Little Bowl: "Ahhh..." You don't need to doubt it. My mother is avenging me.

Zheng Chunfang: "You're mistaken. Hurry up and eat, then give me a lecture."

After finishing her meal, Zheng Chunfang went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Ma Lifeng walked over to Xiao Wanwan and gently tugged at two tufts of hair on her head. "You only have two tufts of hair now."

Little Bowl: "..." If you keep reopening old wounds, I might really find my mother a different man. "Ahhh..." Mom, come back! My father is bullying me!

Zheng Chunfang could now discern Xiao Wanwan's emotions from her "ah ah" sounds. "Ma Lifeng! Do you want to wash the dishes?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lifeng immediately said, "I won't tease her anymore. Honey, don't worry about the firewood. I'll go get more when you're done."

"Okay. Stop teasing her."

"I'm not teasing her anymore. I'll give you some practice tests to see which knowledge points you haven't mastered."

"OK."

After washing the dishes, Zheng Chunfang made several test papers.

Ma Lifeng spent another hour explaining the points she hadn't grasped. "Okay, that's enough for today, I'm sleepy."

"Okay." She was sleepy too.

The two went to sleep after washing their feet.

After confirming that Zheng Chunfang was asleep, Ma Lifeng first wrapped Xiaowanwan in a small blanket, then put a thick hat on her, before carrying her to the yard.

Once inside the courtyard, Ma Lifeng gently patted Xiao Wanwan's bottom. "Daughter, wake up."

Little Bowl slowly woke up.

Seeing that she was awake, Ma Lifeng asked in a low voice, "Is anyone nearby? You didn't blink once, but you blinked twice."

Little Bowl blinked.

Ma Lifeng was relieved. "If your mother suddenly wakes up, Dad will say you were making a fuss about wanting to see the stars. Even though you're a month old, it's still night, and you can't stay outside for too long. Let's decide on one thing first. We can talk about the rest later. Okay?"

Okay. Little Bowl blinked.

This time, the father and daughter's hearts were connected again.

Seeing that she agreed, Ma Lifeng said, "Let's decide who should listen to whom first? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Little Bowl tried to pull her hand out from under the covers and point at herself. Meaning: Of course you listen to me. I'm a four-legged creature, you're a two-legged creature.

How could Ma Lifeng let her pull her hand away?

Ma Lifeng pulled the blanket tighter around him. "I know you may have lived for hundreds of years, and you may be able to sense things that your father can't. But you definitely don't understand people or human society as well as your father does."

Little Bowl was not convinced.

Little Bowl made a few soft "ah ah" sounds, meaning: I often wander into your territory.

Ma Lifeng could tell from her expression and tone that she was refuting him.

Ma Lifeng smiled at her. "Dad just felt that you were a little different from the other children. Dad was just trying to trick you by saying that."

Little Bowl: "..."

Ma Lifeng stroked his daughter's face. "Let me tell you, humans are the most cunning animals in the world. Although you may have lived for hundreds of years, you certainly haven't truly understood humans or human society."

"Although I only lived for nineteen years, I grew up among people, living in human society. Moreover, the people I came into contact with were all extremely shrewd and intelligent. The society I experienced was one that ordinary people could never access. I have a very deep understanding of human society and the people living in it."

"You've already been exposed by your father's little trick."

"Tell me, who should listen to whom between us?"
