While the two children were playing, Yang Bai chatted idly with Liu Dade.

Not long after, a cry was heard.

The two looked over and saw that Yang Qiaoqiao and Liu Kai were both crying.

A little boy in a neat short-sleeved shirt is showing off a piece of chocolate.

"Hehe, you two poor bastards, you don't even know about imported Swiss chocolate."

The person who was mocking him was Ma Qing, the son of the village's brigade secretary.

The Ma family is the most prestigious and wealthiest family in Haiba Village, and the first family in the village to reach the 10,000 yuan mark.

Even if you tied up five or six members of the Zhang family, they wouldn't be enough to deter the Ma family.

Yang Bai quickly ran over and hugged the child.

"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao sobbed, "Ma...Ma Qing bullied me."

"They say poor kids don't get candy, but my dad gave me a whole bag of chocolates!"

Ma Qing smiled contemptuously.

"Hmph, your bag of stuff is no match for mine! It's imported from Switzerland!"

He raised his head triumphantly; his imported chocolate was incomparable to ordinary chocolate.

Yang Bai sighed. This kid was completely spoiled.

They only know how to show off when they get something good.

"Imported? I have some too, Qiaoqiao, wait for Daddy to get them."

He used one of the three import coupons to buy chocolate, as he already knew his daughter liked both White Rabbit candy and chocolate.

Yang Bai took a bag off the tricycle and went inside.

Ma Qing glanced at Yang Bai up and down.

"You poor wretch, you think you can get imported goods? Who are you trying to fool?"

Yang Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked on with great anticipation.

Liu Kai was also excitedly rubbing his hands together; he had never seen foreign goods before.

Yang Bai untied the bag and took out a large box of letters labeled in English.

Inside, nestled among exquisite chocolates, lay a variety of beautifully crafted pieces.

"American product, see? This is the kind of chocolate that even American millionaires eat."

"Wow! Dad, you're amazing!"

Yang Qiaoqiao's big eyes were full of admiration for her father.

Liu Kai was incredibly envious, and just as he was about to reach out to touch it, Liu Dade slapped him away.

He scolded his son, "You dare touch other people's things!"

Ma Qing looked down at the chocolate in his hand, and suddenly it didn't taste so good anymore.

He knew that the United States was the most powerful country in the world.

The top-quality chocolate produced was many times better than the chocolate he had.

He stubbornly pouted, "What's the big deal? I can just ask my dad to buy another one!"

Ma Qing turned to leave, but Yang Bai grabbed his shoulder.

He doesn't mind the children, but he has to apologize to his daughter.

"You're disrespectful, aren't you going to apologize?"

Ma Qing turned his head, looking defiant.

"Why should I? I'm just stating the facts."

"Okay. Then some people won't be able to play with the building blocks that Uncle bought."

Yang Bai took a box of building blocks out of the bag.

The two children screamed repeatedly, unable to hide their joy.

"Let's play together, and we can even eat chocolate! Come on, Xiao Kai!"

Yang Bai took out a chocolate and gave it to Liu Kai.

Liu Dade immediately stopped him, saying, "This is such a valuable item, isn't that inappropriate?"

Yang Bai shook his head. "Food is meant to be eaten, and Qiaoqiao is happy to share, isn't she?"

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded obediently, "I do."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dade stopped trying to stop him.

The two children were having a great time playing with building blocks together.

Ma Qing watched from the side, holding his imported chocolate, feeling a little envious.

Although his father was willing to buy him delicious food, he was very strict with him when it came to his studies.

He had never touched a toy since he could remember, let alone had any good friends to play with.

"Did I really make a mistake just now?"

Looking at Qiaoqiao's smiling face, he began to reflect on himself.

Ma Qing carefully walked up to Zhang Qiaoqiao and handed her the chocolate.

"Qiaoqiao, here, have some. I was wrong just now; I shouldn't have said that."

Yang Bai nodded slightly. This child didn't do anything seriously wrong, he just didn't know how to get along with people.

"Qiaoqiao, have you forgiven him?"

Zhang Qiaoqiao put down the building blocks and took the chocolate from his hand.

"I forgive him, but he hasn't apologized to Akai yet."

Ma Qing immediately turned around and apologized to Liu Kai.

After gaining the children's forgiveness, Ma Qing sat down at a table and played with building blocks.

The kids simply poured two brands of chocolate into one bucket and ate them all.

"Xiao Yang, thank you."

Liu Dade expressed his gratitude, saying that he had not only helped his daughter out of a predicament, but also his own son.

"Forget about thanking me, that's just child's play. Old Wang, interested in coming with me to Widow's Beach to fish?"

Yang Bai mentioned that Liu Dade was a seasoned fisherman with extensive experience, and would definitely be a valuable helper if he went out to sea with him.

Liu Dade was taken aback, then lit a cigarette and took a puff with a smile.

"No need, Widow Sea, sigh."

He let out a long sigh.

Yang Bai was somewhat confused as to why, in his previous life, Liu Dade had heard that a Widow's Sea exploration team was to be formed.

Even though he was over sixty years old at the time, he was still the first to join.

Why are you refusing now?

"Why? Is it because I'm young, afraid of danger, or because the salary is low? Tell me and I'll solve it all for you!"

Liu Dade shook his head, and the smoke from his mouth slowly drifted out.

"No, I don't want to go yet. You two did a great job, Xiao Yang, you don't need to drag me into it."

After he finished speaking, he stubbed out his cigarette, got up, and went to the stove to cook rice.

Seeing that he refused, Yang Bai didn't say anything more. He watched as his daughter, who was tired from playing, put away her toys and picked her up.

"Old Wang, it's getting late, I'll be going now."

Liu Dade stopped stir-frying the vegetables.

"Won't you stay for a meal? I still have some wine at home."

"No need, my wives will worry if I don't go back at this time."

Yang Bai carefully placed his daughter on the back seat and drove away.

Home.

The two women looked at the somewhat cold food with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Su Wanqiu asked.

"Ningning, why hasn't Yang Bai brought his daughter back yet, it's so late?"

Zhang Ning anxiously rubbed the chopsticks until her fingertips turned white.

"I don't know. I only believed him this time because something happened at the medical station."

"No, where is he going to take Qiaoqiao?"

"Don't forget he can drink too. Won't he reveal his true nature when he's drunk?"

Zhang Ning's expression instantly tensed up.

Thinking about this made her even more uneasy.

Su Wanqiu grasped her sweaty, nervous hand and said.

"I believe Yang Bai. His change in the past few days isn't an act. There might be something going on."

"If he dares to do anything to Qiaoqiao, I'll be the first to fight him to the death."

Zhang Ning said firmly.

Just then, the sound of a door being opened rang out.

Both women looked outside at the same time.

Yang Bai carried the sleeping Qiaoqiao into the house.

Both women breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Wanqiu stood up and, noticing no trace of alcohol on him, asked gently.

"Yang Bai, why are you so late coming home today?"

Yang Bai explained.

"He played with building blocks with Secretary Ma and Old Wang's kids until later."

"Okay, then leave the child with me. Wash your hands and eat."

Su Wanqiu opened her arms, and Yang Bai handed his daughter to her.

Su Wanqiu carefully woke her up.

"Qiaoqiao, it's time to go home. Wash your hands and eat."

"it is good."

Yang Qiaoqiao rubbed her sleepy eyes and went to wash her hands.

Back in her seat, Yang Qiaoqiao excitedly recounted the story of Ma Qing's chocolate.

The two women listened with increasing fascination, their eyes frequently glancing at Yang Bai.

In the past, they wouldn't have believed a single word.

Now, the two women have smiles on their faces, and the house is filled with the warmth of a family.

Su Wanqiu stroked her daughter's head and gave her a thumbs up.

"Dad is awesome."

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, "Dad is the most amazing dad I've ever met."

Zhang Ning looked very satisfied. "I asked you to pick up Qiaoqiao and take her home. I didn't expect you to do so well."

"Yang, Yang Bai, I'm sorry."

Zhang Ning looked up at him with her watery eyes, her voice humble like a puppy that had done something wrong.
