A beautiful carriage drove into the village gate. Several villagers had just finished farming and were preparing to have lunch with their families. They watched the beautiful carriage pass by.
Some passersby whispered to each other, "What a beautiful carriage. Who's coming to our small village?"
"You're asking me. Then who should I ask?"
The man glared at him, "Don't say that. I'm just talking nonsense."
They all walked together. Bai's parents' house was quite far from the gate, so the carriage attracted quite a bit of attention. Then the carriage driver stopped right at the gate they were familiar with.
Bai's parents' house was the most conspicuous in the village, so they went straight there. Some of the villagers and young Ger-Gers were surprised. Although they knew Bai's parents were from the city, they didn't realize they were actually so wealthy.
A handsome man got out of the carriage. He was dressed in dark blue, had a hair bun and a silver hairpin on his head. He glanced sideways coldly.
Several young Gers immediately blushed. The gate opened, and the handsome man's cold face broke into a smile. "Daddy." The man looked around and, unable to find his father, asked, "Daddy, where's Daddy?"
The man pointed to the kitchen and smiled. "As soon as he heard you were coming, he's been tending the fire and cooking wood for you."
"I really miss Daddy's cooking. I just happened to not have anything to eat this afternoon." The handsome man smiled.
Grandpa Bai smiled, "Before that, you finally came. Pick up and take your little rascal home!"
The handsome man smiled, "Father, that rascal has been causing you a lot of trouble. I'll teach him a lesson when we get to the city."
The old man nodded. "That stinky brat needs to be taught a lesson. He's getting more and more unruly."
The handsome man chuckled. "Father, I think your bones are getting brittle now. You can't even look after your grandson. How come my wife is already pregnant with our third child? Now you'll probably have to look after the second one."
The old man was angry, "You... I'm old. My bones can't bear the weight. How dare you hand your son over to me?"
The man laughed, "Father, I heard that you're very good at plowing the fields. Even Daddy praises your strength."
Old Man Bai smiled and waved his hand. "Don't mention it. Your father is still mighty."
A Ger heard the laughter outside, hurriedly wiped the dust off his hands and left the kitchen. When she saw the handsome young man at the gate with her husband, she immediately shouted.
"Old man, why did you let my son stay at the gate? How dare you!!!"
Daddy Bai's voice was quite loud, and even the neighbors on the right and left sides might have heard his shouting. The old man immediately felt goosebumps and was shocked. He first heard his wife's screams.
He then realized they were still at the gate. He immediately smiled sheepishly. "My son, come in, come in. If you don't come in, your Daddy will boil me."
The handsome man, Bai Zicheng, chuckled softly. He knew his Daddy's temperament. Despite his gentle appearance, when he and his Ger brothers made mistakes,
His Daddy punished them, and even his own father couldn't escape his Daddy's punishment.
Although this country was very patriarchal, his father loved and respected his Daddy very much. So he always gave in within the family. His Daddy wasn't too demanding, either, so their relationship was very harmonious.
Daddy Bai had prepared his son's favorite green tea. He had just made it. He returned to the kitchen and gathered his things. He used a tea set he particularly loved.
He brought it forward and poured the green tea. Smelling the aroma, he immediately smiled, "My Daddy is still my Daddy. He still remembers my favorite tea."
"Nonsense, I gave birth to you and raised you until you grew up. I naturally know what you like." Daddy Bai spoke harshly, but he still had a smile on his face.
As soon as Daddy Bai handed it to his son, Bai Zicheng accepted it and took a sip. The fatigue from the journey was immediately washed away by the simple tea his Daddy had personally brewed.
Daddy Bai looked at his son, "Son, have you eaten? I vaguely heard that you haven't eaten anything on the journey. Daddy will cook you something to eat."
Bai Zicheng immediately put down his cup and smiled. "Daddy, I was just joking with you. I ate at a restaurant nearby because I was sure you guys had already had lunch. Daddy, don't bother yourself with such tiring work."
Daddy Bai glared at him, "How is that tiring? It's just cooking. I know you're still hungry. Okay, I'll cook now. If you're interested, go take a walk around the village. The scenery here isn't bad at all."
Bai Zicheng nodded his head. "This is why my father and father are so comfortable in the village. As soon as I entered, I knew the scenery was so beautiful. No wonder that little rascal didn't want to go back, claiming to be filial to his grandfather and grandfather. I'd be a fool if I believed him."
Daddy Bai laughed, "Who are you calling a little rascal? You were even naughtier than him back then. That was when you were the same age as him."
"Daddy's kidding. I've never been as naughty as that stinky rascal. I still remember it all."
Daddy Bai, "..."
Father Bai, "..."
Nonsense! You're our naughtiest son. As the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It seems it really suits them.
Daddy Bai chuckled softly, "Actually, the strongest reason my grandson doesn't want to return to the city is because he's fallen in love with this village's little ger."
Bai Zicheng, who had just taken a sip of tea, choked on his father's words and coughed. "Cough... Cough..." Bai Zicheng stared at his father in disbelief. "Daddy, what are you saying? That stinky brat has fallen in love?"
Daddy Bai looked at his son and chuckled softly. "He's already nine years old. So it's natural for him to fall in love. His heart is already taken by this little ger. You shouldn't arrange a marriage for him."
Bai Zicheng waved his hand, "When did I say I would arrange a marriage for him? He's a naughty stinky brat, how could I do that?"
"Yes, it's the same as you. We can't control you either. You're just as stinky as your son. The little stinky one and the big stinky one. Hurry and take your son!!" This time, it was Grandpa Bai who spoke. After speaking, Daddy Bai immediately pinched his arm.
