"Mommy, mommy, why was Gray Wolf beaten up by Red Wolf again?”A little boy sitting in front of the TV and watching cartoons asked his mother curiously.
He couldn't understand why Gray Wolf treated Red Wolf so well, but was beaten up by Red Wolf every day. Could it be that their way of expressing their love was different?
"Eh? Daddy, why are you kneeling on the washboard again?”
The little boy turned his head to look for his mother, but was surprised to see his father kneeling on the washboard at home as usual.
The washboard had been in the house since he could remember. His father said that his mother used it to wash clothes, but his mother had always used the washing machine to wash clothes. The little boy had never seen his mother use it.
Later, the little boy curiously asked about his mother. Strangely, his mother's answer was the same as his father's.
"Maybe I'm still too young, so I don't understand. Maybe you'll understand when you grow up." The little boy thought.
"Oh, this. Daddy's legs aren't feeling well recently. Daddy is exercising.”The little boy's father lowered his head and said with his back to his son with a flushed face.
At this moment, the little boy's mother walked over and happened to hear her son asking her father. Mom turned her head and whispered to Dad,""Hurry up and get up.”
"Hui Tai Lang is just like your father. He's not capable and can't catch a single sheep every day. Red Wolf was helping it, for the good of Gray Wolf, just like how Mommy treated Daddy.”The mother explained to the little boy.
"Oh, I see." The little boy nodded in understanding.
His father, who was standing at the side, lowered his head in shame. His face turned red from his face to the back of his ears.
"Is that so, Dad?" The little boy innocently turned his head to look at his father and asked him again.
Although it sounded very smooth, the little boy felt that something was wrong. He wanted to confirm with his father if that was the case.
"Ah…um, Xiao Lei, have you finished your homework?”The father was afraid that his son would see his blushing face and wanted to change the topic.
"Yes, I finished my homework a long time ago. Mom said that I have to be like a real man. I have to be responsible, capable, and responsible. I have to finish my homework before I can watch television.”the little boy said happily.
It seemed that he was proud of himself for listening to his mother and finishing his homework first.
"Hubby, clean up the table. Xiao Lei, turn off the television. It's time to eat."
The mother's words came from the kitchen, which made the father and son happy.
"I'm finally free!" Father thought silently in his heart.
"Oh! Alright, alright! Time to eat." The little boy shouted excitedly.
The little boy had long smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and his stomach had long started growling.
His father quickly ran into the kitchen to help his mother bring the cooked food to the table in the living room. The family sat together and started eating dinner.
The dishes on the table were very rich, especially the roast mutton in the middle. The little boy kept picking it up with his chopsticks.
"Mom, why can't Hui Tai Lang eat sheep every day?”While eating, the little boy asked the question that had been hidden in his heart.
In kindergarten, he had also talked about this topic with other children, but unfortunately, the other children were all watching Bear Haunts. Other than him, the only other kid in the kindergarten who was also watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf was a silly kid.
Although he didn't discriminate against that silly kid, there was no way he could discuss it with him. That guy knew that one plus one was two, but if you asked him what two minus one was, he would keep counting with his fingers, but he would never get the result. In the end, he would always cry and look for his mother.
The little boy felt that if he couldn't find the correct answer to this question, he might become like the silly boy in the kindergarten.
"What did Mommy teach you? Did I ever tell you not to talk while eating? "The mother had a stern expression as she raised her hand and knocked the little boy's head.
The little boy stopped talking and began to eat seriously.
However, when the little boy looked up to pick up the food, he saw his father secretly making a face at him and then revealing a helpless expression.
Sigh, we're both people who have fallen from grace!
The family ate dinner quietly.
Suddenly, her mother turned her head to her father and asked with a frown,"Hey, hubby, that's true. Tell me, why can't Hui Tai Lang catch a sheep all day? You can't even eat lazy sheep?"
Obviously, the mother had forgotten what she had just said to her son. He had achieved the self-disciplined rule of "leniency to oneself and strictness to others".
"..." Dad frowned and picked up a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. While eating, she frowned. It looked like he was deep in thought, but it didn't look like it when he looked carefully.
" Yeah…" Dad let out a long nasal sound. It was exactly how people looked when they were thinking but did not know how to answer.
Actually, he was in a dilemma right now. He did not know if he should answer or not.
Of course, he wasn't troubled by the fact that he couldn't think of an answer. It was that he would make mistakes regardless of whether he opened his mouth or not.
If he didn't answer, he would have to kneel on the washboard later. But if he answered, his son had just set an example for him…
Therefore, he was really conflicted.
He really had no choice. Who asked him to have no status at home? Who asked him not to be as successful as Old Wang next door?
……
He had no choice but to use the ancient doctrine of the mean, the thick and dark way, and dragged out his nasal voice. This way, he would not be punished for making his wife feel like he was ignoring her, and he would not be punished for talking during dinner. This way, he could kill two birds with one stone.
However, in the end, his father still had a big bump on his head.
"You are really useless. You can't even think of such a simple question.”Her mother withdrew her fist angrily.
The family regained their peace and continued to eat quietly…
The father saw his son making a face at him and then revealing a helpless expression…
After cleaning up the dishes, his parents returned to their room. Xiao Lei ran outside, planning to take a walk in the park not far from the neighborhood.
Walking on the road, Xiao Lei thought about his question again.
"Why doesn't Hui Tai Lang have the chance to eat mutton?”
He was deep in thought, but he did not realize that his footsteps had deviated from the direction. He had already walked to the middle of the road. He did not notice that a speeding car was heading towards him.
With a loud bang, the noisy road instantly quieted down.
Xiao Lei's vision turned black…
………………
"We didn't catch any sheep today.”Xiao Lei opened his eyes again, and an angry voice sounded in his ears.
Xiao Lei realized that the person in front of him was wearing a red apron, had dark red tattoos on his eyelids, and had a crown on his head. He looked very familiar and was throwing a frying pan at him.
"Are you rebelling? How dare you hit me." Xiao Lei subconsciously kicked the frying pan over his head.
Xiao Lei didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually said something he had never said before.
But in the blink of an eye, he was stunned on the spot.
He looked at the familiar guy in front of him." Wait, what's going on? Isn't this Red Wolf?”
