Hongli raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say, "You could finish eating when you were just born, so why can't you eat now?"

These are all your favorite foods, so don't be shy and eat them all!

"Hey, isn't there a possibility..."

Looking at Hong Li, who was radiating maternal warmth, Hei Yang couldn't help but chuckle and pour cold water on her enthusiasm, saying, "Little Huo has been eating and drinking well at his parents' place lately, with all sorts of delicacies. He doesn't care about your little things, Hong Li."

"What?!!"

Hongli's eyes widened suddenly. A bolt from the blue struck her. She felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart. She looked at Xiao Huo with a sorrowful expression, her lips trembling.

"Could it be that, Little Fire, you..."

Hong Li's voice was trembling with tears, which made Xiao Huo's conscience ache.

"No, there's no fire!"

Little Fire quickly waved his hand: "Mom, don't listen to what Dad said!"

"Small fire..."

Hongli burst into tears and buried her face in Heiyang's arms, sobbing, "Heiyang, your daughter has grown up and doesn't want her old mother anymore! Waaah, she doesn't want us anymore!"

"Ugh, sigh, Xiao Li, you, I, sigh..."

Hei Yang sighed, patted Hong Li's back, and wiped away tears with a forlorn expression, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Blame it on us for neglecting our child when she was young. Now she's coming to take revenge on us two old folks. We have to endure it no matter how bitter or painful it is."

"Woooooooo..."

Hongli continued to sob, "Will the two of us lose gold coins...?"

"Who knows..."

"Waaaaah..." *2

"???"

Seeing the two drama queens, Xiao Huo's forehead creased with annoyance, and he couldn't help but shout, "Mom and Dad, that's enough! Stop teasing me!"

"Waaaaah, baby's dad, the baby's yelling at us..."

"Sigh, my dear wife, just bear with it. Once you're almost deaf, you won't be able to hear anything at all..."

"Waaaaah..." *2

"Hmm, Little Fire is going to tell Grandma and Grandma..."

"!!!"

Hei Yang Hong Li's body stiffened abruptly, and she instantly flashed behind Xiao Huo, earnestly massaging her aggrieved daughter's shoulders, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Hahaha, Xiao Huo, it's not that bad, Mom and Dad are just teasing you!"

Haha, that's right! Little Huo is such a well-behaved, sensible, and kind girl, how could she dislike her parents?

"Look, our little Huo just helped Mom and Dad pick up the sloth. She's so young and already knows how to share their burdens; she'll definitely be a filial daughter in the future. We can rely on her to support us in our old age!"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm..."

Hearing her parents finally tell the truth, Xiao Huo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, that's how it should be. Xiao Huo is such a sensible child!"

"Well then, sensible Xiao Huo, shall we discuss the family rules?"

Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a glance and smiled kindly.

"no problem!"

Little Fire waved his little hand, his face full of pride: "Rules are only for bad kids. Good kids never even notice the existence of rules! Ha! Little Fire is a good kid, just in time!"

"Very good! That's ambitious!"

Hei Yang laughed and stretched out his hand: "Hong Li, bring me the family rules!"

"Here we go!"

Hongli reached out and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Xiaohuo: "Xiaohuo, read the family rules!"

"Eh? Have you finished writing it yet?"

Xiao Huo took it in surprise, paused for a moment, and then realized that the paper was folded in half. She unfolded it from the middle, then found that it was still folded in half, and unfolded it again...

It unfolds again, uh, it continues to unfold...

Xiao Huo held up the family rules, watching the long string of paper drag down, a black line involuntarily appearing on his forehead. He sighed and slowly began to read from the beginning.

The Five-Colored City Yang Li Family Rules

【Dear Little Fire, welcome to our harmonious and loving family. Daddy Heiyang and Mommy Hongli will do their best to fulfill their responsibilities as parents, so you can experience the warmth of home and the companionship of your family.】

Before officially becoming a member of this family, please carefully remember and abide by the following rules to avoid disrupting family harmony.

First, Yang Li's family has an excellent defense system, and the safety of her family members is fully guaranteed. Outsiders cannot enter the home without permission.

Therefore, if Xiao Huo sees a stranger or other creature at home, immediately tell his parents. Don't talk to them or go near them, especially if a stranger is offering you a lollipop and trying to take you to the aquarium or amusement park.

[Secondly, Yang Li's family only has one child, Xiao Huo, and will likely only have one daughter in the future. If Xiao Huo feels lonely, she can tell her parents and then look forward to the arrival of one or two younger siblings.]

Thirdly, Mom's study needs to be absolutely clean and tidy, and the books should be arranged in order. Please make sure you don't leave any trash in the study.

Fourth, since kitchens at home are generally not used for cooking, if you see food in a pot, make sure it's not leftovers.

Fifth, do not enter your parents' room without permission.

Sixth, if you smell alcohol even though there's no alcohol at home, find it immediately; it might be from some rotten, fermenting fruit.

[Seven, if you see alcohol in your home, leave immediately. That's your parents' medicinal wine, meant to... cough cough, um, prevent Alzheimer's disease. Children should not touch it!]

8. Don't disturb the sloth while it's sleeping, and generally don't disturb your parents while they're sleeping.

[Ninth, be extremely vigilant when the sloth is awake, as this could be an unexpected situation!]

10. When you hear strange noises coming from your parents' bedroom, or their screams or shouts, whether it's midnight, morning, noon, or... cough cough, whatever the time, don't worry, your parents are just talking in their sleep!

(Additional note: Soundproofing has been installed in Mom and Dad's bedroom. If there's still noise coming through, it just means they're talking loudly in their sleep. Don't worry, they can handle it! Yes, I mean they can handle it psychologically! No other implications!)

[If your mom/dad suddenly drags you into the bedroom from the living room during the 11th day of the lunar month, don't worry, they're just talking in their sleep!]

12. When Xiao Huo wants to go out to play, remember to tell his parents.

If your parents are sleeping, you can choose to wait for them to wake up, or bring at least one of the "Red Little Glass Puppet" or "Black Little Sun Puppet" from your room, and make sure the "Little Flamingo Puppet" is in Little Flamingo's bedroom.

Remember to leave a note for your parents before you leave, and you must be home before 6 PM.

[13. If your parents sleep for more than a week, you can choose to proactively remind them (crossed out) to knock on the door and wake them up, unless they have given prior instructions.]

[14. If your parents don't respond, immediately go find your grandma or maternal grandma. Your parents might be too hungry to walk, so please ask them to come and help them!]

[Fifteen, Xiao Huo must go to bed early and get up early, and is not allowed to learn Mom and Dad's bad habits!]

[16. When Xiao Huo feels that the food at home is not providing enough nutrition for his growing body, he should immediately tell his parents to avoid malnutrition.]

[17. There is no such thing as a "planting area" at home, but Mom and Dad will find a way to create one. So don't be afraid if you accidentally wander into a planting area; they probably just forgot to tell you they've already created one.]

[18. If you don't see any sloths in the yard, it means the plantation area is likely already completed.]

[19. If you accidentally wander into the plantation, do not damage the vegetation, and do not pick unripe fruit. Wait until they are ripe, then you can have some.]

[20. If you get lost in the plantation, don't panic. Shout the sloth's name, and she will appear and lead you out.]

[Twenty-one, if the sloth doesn't appear, walk straight in the opposite direction from the only tree in the plantation, and Little Fire will come out.]

[Twenty-two, as a last resort, when all else fails, think bad things about your parents in your mind, and they will arrive in time to help you... and afterwards give you a good spanking.]

[Twenty-three, even if we complain to our grandparents after the fire and get our parents spanked, we will not give in! Our parents cannot be insulted!]

[Twenty-four, ...]

【……】

"Ugh... Ah... This..."

Xiao Huo's brows furrowed more and more, his clever little head spinning rapidly as he scratched his head, trying to understand the family rules.

"Our family rules seem so complicated..."

"Well, it's really nothing, it can be summarized into a few parts."

Hongli waved her hand: "The first part is to familiarize yourself with what's in the house and quickly get used to the environment."

The second part is about not suppressing your feelings at home and saying what you think.

Part Three: Generally speaking, don't bother your parents unless it's absolutely necessary. If there is something you need to do...

Part Four has already provided detailed and categorized specific countermeasures, as well as countermeasures for unexpected events, and countermeasures for events that are even more unexpected than expected…

"uh-huh."

Hei Yang chuckled and said, "Don't be intimidated by the long list. Actually, we don't have many rules in our family. Most of them are just lists of situations that your parents are worried about your safety."

"Because it's our first time being parents, we're always afraid of making some mistakes."

"Ah this..."

Xiao Huo nodded as if he understood, feeling a warmth in his heart as he looked at his parents' genuine expressions of concern.

However, she still had a question: "What does 'plantation' mean on this?"

"Oh, Mom and Dad are going to plant a very important peach tree. They told the sloth before that they wanted her to help protect it."
