Accidentally entered a high gate

After saying that, Ma Lixing went inside.

Ma Yanxing tried several more times, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Ma Yanxing was extremely depressed.

Ma Lifeng, estimating that it was about time, came out of the house, put his hand on his shoulder, and leaned against him, saying, "Alright, stop being so hard on yourself. Being kind has its advantages, and being decisive has its advantages too. We just need to find our strengths and make the most of them. Don't keep focusing on our weaknesses."

Who doesn't have flaws?

"Take your grandfather for example..."

Just as Ma Lifeng was about to use the opportunity of persuading his nephew to criticize his father, Ma Jingshan's voice came from inside the house. "You brat! Are you looking for a beating?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Lifeng immediately retorted, "Look! How petty your grandfather is!"

Ma Jingshan: "..." You're the petty one!

Su Jingyu: "Pfft!"

Ma Lixing, Shen Junyi, Zheng Chunfang, Yan Ning, Yan He, and Xiao Wanwan all turned their faces to the other side.

Ma Jingshan: "..." Where's his belt? "You brat! Get in here! Yan Xing, you come in too."

As Ma Lifeng put his arm around Ma Yanxing's shoulder and walked into the house, he said, "I don't smell bad at all. I smell like sunshine."

After entering the house, Ma Lifeng put his arm around Ma Yanxing and sat down next to Ma Jingshan.

Ma Jingshan raised his hand and ruffled his fourth grandson's hair. "Your uncle may be a bit of a jerk, but he's right. Everyone has flaws. Just like your little..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ma Lifeng immediately objected. "You won't let me use your example, and you're not allowed to use mine either."

"I'm your father!"

"Mother, my father is using his status to pressure me; he's being unreasonable."

Su Jingyu first took the knife from Ma Yanxing's hand, then looked at the father and son and smiled, "You two should handle your own affairs. I won't interfere. Yanxing, what do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."

Zhang Meijuan is off today. Zhang Meijuan is a domestic worker assigned to Ma Jingshan by the government.

Ma Yanxing had no appetite at all. "Wanwan, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste). Grandma's Zhajiangmian is so delicious."

Su Jingyu: "Then let's make noodles with soybean paste."

Zheng Chunfang: "Mom, I'll help you."

Shen Junyi: "I'm not going. I want to play with Wanwan."

"Pfft!" Su Jingyu laughed as soon as she heard that. "How old are you? Are you trying to slack off?"

"If you let me take Wanwan back home for one night, I'll come and help you."

"Then you'd better not be my assistant. Yan Ning, Yan He, you two want to trade being my assistant for letting me take Wanwan home, right?"

Ma Yanning: "Mm."

Ma Yanhe: "Looks like there's no chance."

"Yes!" Su Jingyu said, then took Zheng Chunfang to the kitchen to make fried noodles with soybean paste.

Ma Yanxing was initially quite depressed, but after everyone's commotion, his mood improved a bit.

Ma Lixing stood up from the sofa, walked over to him, and ruffled his hair. "Do you want to eat rabbit meat? If you want, Dad will kill one for you."

Ma Yanxing gritted his teeth. "I want to!"

Ma Yanxing never imagined that his dream of serving in the military would be thwarted by a few wild rabbits.

Ma Lixing rubbed his head again before going to kill a rabbit for him.

Little Wanwan immediately followed him, all excited. "Second Uncle, I'll help you." She had originally wanted to say she wanted to eat rabbit head, but she was afraid of upsetting her fourth brother. Now that her fourth brother said he wanted to eat rabbit meat, she had nothing to worry about.

Ma Yanxing: "..." This younger sister is unacceptable! "Ma Yanlin, are you doing this on purpose?"

Little Bowl Bowl went outside before turning back to him, peering at him with a puzzled look on her face. "Fourth Brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear you. I have to get busy now, you chat with Grandpa."

After saying that, Xiaowanwan ran away.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone was amused by Xiao Wanwan.

Ma Yanxing's lips curled up. "Grandpa, I didn't understand why you said you wanted to beat up my third uncle before, but now I do."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

Ma Lifeng pushed Ma Yanxing onto the sofa and punched him twice. "You brat, what do you mean by this?"

"Grandpa, help!"

Ma Jingshan moved aside. "You two, uncle and nephew, should resolve your own issues."

"Mother, save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Junyi pulled her two daughters away. "We're not getting involved. We're going to find Wanwan."

"Auntie! Auntie!"

Zheng Chunfang poked half her body out of the kitchen, said "Good luck!" and then withdrew.

Ma Yanxing: "..." Was his aunt cheering him on? Or was she cheering him on?

……

After dinner, just as Ma Lixing was about to tell Ma Jingshan and Su Jingyu that they were going back, Ma Lifeng said, "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Wife, when I carried my daughter to the park to go boating last time, didn't I promise to take her to my eldest brother's place? I've now settled my work matters, and I'd like to ask for a few days off to take my daughter to my eldest brother's place."

Little Bowl: "..." You've already taken care of your work, haven't you? "Okay, okay! Grandpa, Grandma, I want to go play at Uncle's house."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her man is a man of his word.

Others: "..." Is the third brother/uncle really going to take Wanwan to the eldest brother/elder brother/uncle's place to play? He/she thought the third brother/uncle was just trying to coax Wanwan.

Ma Jingshan thought about his youngest son's performance since starting work, and then he remembered that his youngest son hadn't seen his eldest daughter-in-law for several years. "Okay. Is Xiao Zheng going?"

"She's not going; it's a bit chaotic outside."

"Since Xiao Zheng isn't going, I'll have Xiao Zhao go with you two."

The "Little Zhao" that Ma Jingshan mentioned was his orderly. Little Zhao's full name was Zhao Yonghong.

"Thank you, Father. Father, Mother, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, please don't tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law yet. I want to give them a surprise."

Shen Junyi: "Okay. Wanwan, you can't stop liking your second aunt just because you see your eldest aunt."

Upon hearing this, Wanwan immediately rushed into her arms, hugged her neck, and kissed her several times. "Wanwan would never dislike Second Aunt."

Ma Yanning and Ma Yanhe: "What about us?"

Wanwan leaned over and kissed them twice. "No, no."

Ma Yanning and Ma Yanhe were satisfied.

Ma Lixing rubbed Wanwan's little head. "Dad, Mom, let's go back."

Ma Yanxing pinched Wanwan's chubby cheeks. "You little rascal."

"hey-hey……"

After Ma Lixing's family left, Zheng Chunfang went up to Su Jingyu. "Mother, after Lifeng goes to my eldest brother's place, I want to come back and stay here."

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you. Your father and I are worried about you living alone."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chunfang hugged Su Jingyu tightly. "Mom, you're so good to me."

Under the influence of Ma Lifeng and Xiaowanwan, Zheng Chunfang has also become more and more fond of expressing her emotions through body language.

"Hahahaha...aren't you afraid your dad and I will nag you about it?"

"My dad doesn't have time to nag me. I'll just listen if you do. It's all thanks to you that Wanwan and I are able to eat the rations."

"We don't talk about this as family."

Hearing Zheng Chunfang's words, Ma Jingshan glanced at his youngest son. The implication was: "You're lucky, kid."

Ma Lifeng straightened his back smugly.

After getting leave, Ma Lifeng set off with Xiaowanwan and Zhao Yonghong.

Little Bowl is dressed as a little beggar again.

To match Xiao Wanwan's style, Ma Lifeng and Zhao Yonghong dressed rather sloppily.

Ma Lifeng had bought a sleeper berth. When boarding the train, the officer in charge of ticket inspection checked their tickets, as well as their letters of introduction and identification, before letting them on board.

After getting on the bus, Ma Lifeng put down his luggage and looked at Xiao Wanwan with a smile, saying, "Daughter, it would be better if you were a little uglier."

Little Bowl made a face at him. "Dad, I wish you could fly."

As Yan Dehou, carrying his bag and accompanied by his secretary, entered their carriage, he saw a dirty-looking child looking at a disheveled young man and saying, "Dad, I wish you could fly."

Yan Dehou's lips instantly curled into a smile. This child, though a bit dirty, was strangely adorable. "Hello!"

Ma Lifeng and Zhao Yonghong: "Hello!"

Yan Dehou raised his hand and extended it towards Zhao Yonghong. "My surname is Yan."

Zhao Yonghong shook hands with him. "My surname is Zhao, this is my cousin, and my cousin's surname is Ma. This is my cousin's daughter."

Ma Lifeng also shook hands with Yan Dehou.

Yan Dehou pointed to his secretary beside him. "This is Xiao Li. Xiao Li is my secretary. I work for the Liaoning Provincial Government. Where do you work?"

Zhao Yonghong: "I was a soldier."

Ma Lifeng: "I work in a steel mill."

Sleeper berths aren't available to everyone, so people are generally quite polite about it.

After the introductions, Yan Dehou started chatting with Ma Lifeng and Zhao Yonghong. Once they were more familiar, Yan Dehou said what he had wanted to say as soon as he came in. "Little Ma, did you and your wife have a fight? Look at the mess you two made! I have some towels here, take the child to wash up."

Ma Lifeng and Xiao Wanwan: "..." They can't wash it; they finally managed to get it done.
