Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Dig and Excavate

Yu Jingting was sitting on the sofa with a scowl on his face, legs crossed, hand slapping the armrest hard.

"Arbitrary! Autocratic! Overbearing!"

Fan Huang, who had come to mooch off their meal, was sitting at the other end of the sofa with a newspaper in his hands, pretending not to hear his son-in-law’s complaints.

Only when Yu Jingting raised his voice did he lower his newspaper a bit to remind him:

"Buddy, you’ll shout them in here if you keep yelling."

Buddy is a Beijing slang term indicating a close relationship, equivalent to "buddy" in Dongbei dialect.

Ever since Fan Huang handed over that little booklet, Yu Jingting had discovered that his father-in-law had a sneaky side too. Their relationship quickly warmed up and had reached the level of being buddies.

At this moment, Suizi was talking to Chen Lijun outside and seemed to hear the "wounded beast" roaring inside the house, so she glanced towards it.

If a neighbor walked by and saw this scene, hearing Yu Jingting’s powerful roar, they might actually think that Yu Jingting had a volatile temper and was about to hit his wife.

If it weren’t for the two prominent "cat whiskers" on his face, Fan Huang might also think so.

After being reminded by his father-in-law, Yu Jingting immediately lowered his voice and even cast a flirty eye at Suizi in the courtyard.

When Suizi’s gaze moved elsewhere, he immediately changed his expression to one of indignation.

"Dad, can’t you control your daughter? Look at what she’s done to me!"

"Who told you to give Suizi that thing? You should be lucky she didn’t have a shovel at hand." Fan Huang commented objectively.

If his daughter had had a shovel, she might have whacked Yu Jingting into the ground, turning him into a real big radish.

"I never intended to give her that thing, I just wanted her to see — to see subtly! Who knew I had such a straightforward daughter?!"

Yu Jingting originally wanted to use this specimen to coax his wife and let her see that people are inherently evil. Chen Tong was inherently bad and kept the thing to scare people.

So if he turned bad when he grew up, it would have nothing to do with Suizi. The boy was born a rotten cake, and whoever raised him would look bad.

Unfortunately, it was leaked out by Luoluo, who ran directly to Suizi and showed her. Suizi screamed at a high decibel, almost scaring the pregnant lady.

"Daddy, Mommy is calling you out. She’s holding a funeral for the Long Bug!" Luoluo ran in and shouted.

Suizi found a shoebox for the specimen and in order to show respect, she even let the children pick a few wildflowers to scatter in the shoebox.

Yu Jingting thought that the charming thing about Suizi was that although she was afraid of the thing, she didn’t want to disappoint her daughter. She protected her daughter’s innocence, braved her fears and even took on the role of "funeral" emcee.

Chen Lijun vehemently resisted and argued, refusing to bury the thing under a tree in their yard.

Suizi thought it was not appropriate to bury the thing in a place where children often gathered. Kids like to dig holes and burrowing this thing out would also be scary. So the family of five, along with the shamelessly included Xiao Fatty, went to the small grove by the school.

Yu Jingting carried the Suona and Suizi changed into a white dress. In order to fulfill their daughter’s childishness, this pair of parents were really devoted.

"Aren’t you afraid your classmates will see you?" Yu Jingting asked Suizi, with a naughty grin on his face.

"Be serious, don’t let our daughter see you laughing. Who laughs at a funeral? Besides, didn’t you notice that I chose the west gate?"

The west gate of her alma mater was adjacent to the north gate of the neighboring school. Both were top schools, with the two gates being just over 200 meters apart.

If people saw her, they would think she was from the next courtyard.

"First, the eulogy. Long Bug, rest in peace, your spirit endures, your character remains forever." Suizi read out the script without much emotion, her role now was the funeral host designated by her daughter.

"Next, the mourning music!" Suizi gave Yu Jingting a push. He was the one to play the Suona, exactly the right role!

Yu Jingting picked up the Suona and performed a cheerful New Year tune for the children.

The two Little Luobos were shoveling with their mini rakes, sadly burying the bugs in the cheerful backdrop of their dad’s music.

Xiaofatty and Jiaojiao were on the lookout. Seeing Suizi and Yu Jingting humoring the kids, they both became thoughtful.

"Who would have thought, my sister-in-law would actually play house with the kids. This isn’t Jingting’s style."

"That’s because you don’t know my sister-in-law well enough. She doesn’t see this as playing house with the kids. My sister-in-law once said that childhood is the most precious thing in the world. It’s like a door that once closed, can’t be reopened. She wants us to store up some good memories while we’re still within that door."

Having grown up being pampered, Jiaojiao began to understand more as she got older, especially after experiencing the Phoenix Tree incident, she suddenly had an epiphany.

She thought she would be sad for a long time, but after a day of constipation caused by her sister-in-law’s loving meal, struggling on the toilet and not being able to defecate, she had no worries at that moment.

Those who had hurt her didn’t matter as much as a satisfying bowel movement.

"The second year after I moved here, I got sick and craved frozen hawthorn fruit. It was almost summer and where could you get that? I was naughty back then and insisted on having it. My sister-in-law tried many ways to coax me."

Suizi froze some peaches, the only fruit available at that time of year.

The taste was completely different. Not that it wasn’t similar at all, but it had no relation whatsoever.

So Suizi started to think. She asked someone to go to the neighboring province that produced hawthorn fruits and found canned hawthorn and hawthorn jam.

She froze the canned food when she got it back, even carving the ice cream into the shape of a hawthorn and topping it with jam. She really went overboard.

Even Wang Cuihua couldn’t stand it and said Suizi was spoiling the kids too much. To deal with these naughty kids who were craving out-of-season food, a slap would cure their cravings!

Jiaojiao now feels a bit embarrassed when she thinks back to her wayward behavior.

"My sister-in-law at that time was probably in the same state of mind as she is now, burying the snake for Luoluo. She cares a lot about our feelings. So many years have passed and I’ve forgotten what the hawthorn feast tasted like. Some things seemed quite disgusting, but every time I think of this event, I feel very happy."

That kind of happiness comes from being taken seriously by your family and brings more joy than getting the food you want.

There are so many such small incidents, that even thinking casually about them would fill a bucket. Although Suizi is strict with children’s studies and moral education, she really spoils them when she should.

So, although the kids in the family are naughty and have their own personalities, they are not willful. Even the most mischievous Luoluo is sympathetic to the death of the "Long Bug".

"I hope that when I grow up, I can also become the kind of person who can bring energy to those around me, like my sister-in-law is."

Xiao Fatty quickly glanced at Jiaojiao, his earlobes turning slightly red, his voice stiff and with a hint of barely noticeable shyness.

"You will."

The sweetness from a young girl’s arched eyebrows made her seem like the best fruit in the tree, too good to miss out on from just one glance.

"Huh? What is this?" Luoluo’s cry interrupted the joyful Suona music from her daddy.

The two kids had dug a hole for a long time and pulled out a box.
