Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Wan Ping'an walked over and saw Sun Tiezhu disciplining Niu Niu.

"No more going into the water, do you hear me?"

"If you go back into the water, I'll hit you again."

As Sun Tiezhu spoke, he picked up Niu Niu and carried her away from the water's edge.

When Wanping saw that Niu Niu's shoes were covered in mud and water, he understood what had happened.

Niu Niu definitely wants to play in the water.

Children lack safety awareness, and playing in the water without parental supervision is very dangerous; a single mistake can lead to a lifetime of regret.

Wan Ping'an recalled that when he was five or six years old, he and a group of friends secretly went into the water. After they were discovered, his parents gave him a beating.

"Are you okay?"

Wan Ping'an went up and asked.

"It's alright. Luckily I found her early. If it had been any later, she would have gone into the water."

Sun Tiezhu sighed.

Niu Niu is the youngest child in the family, more than ten years younger than him. She is spoiled and pampered at home, but there are some things that should never be indulged.

Like going into the water.

If you ignore it the first time, it will definitely happen again.

He's here this time.

What if Niu Niu sneaks over alone next time?

"Brother Ping An, my brother hit me, waaaaah, my brother hit me."

Niu Niu and Wan Ping'an are very close, so she complained to him.

"Niu Niu, look what this is?"

Wan Pingan took out a tomato.

The tomatoes he grows are red, and when fully ripe, they even have a translucent appearance; you can bite a small hole and suck the juice directly from them.

"tomato!"

Niu Niu stopped crying immediately, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the iced tomato.

She wasn't really in pain when she cried.

Sun Tiezhu doted on her too much to even think about it, and any beatings he gave her were merely symbolic, mainly intended as a form of education and intimidation.

"Come on, eat!"

"Tiezhu, I'm taking Niu Niu back to the six acres of land first."

Wan Pingan picked up Niu Niu.

Hulu Lake and Liumudi are nearly a kilometer apart, which is quite tiring for a small child to walk.

Back to the six acres of land.

Niu Niu ran to Wang Da Hua to complain.

"Mom, my second brother hit me, he hit my bottom, he's a bad brother."

Niu Niu pointed to her little bottom.

Wang Dahua immediately understood when she saw Niu Niu's shoes; she must have gone into the water.

Why did your second brother hit you?

Wang Dahua looked very unwell.

How can someone so young dare to go into the water? What if they encounter danger?

"I just wanted to catch a small fish, and my second brother beat me up."

Niu Niu was perfectly justified.

"Go into the water to catch fish?"

"Let's see if you dare to do it again next time!"

Wang Dahua grabbed Niu Niu and slapped her bottom repeatedly. Many people saw it, but no one found it strange.

In this day and age, which child hasn't had a complete childhood?

It's normal for parents to discipline children for making mistakes.

of course.

This beating refers to a beating for educational purposes. It might hurt the child, but it's unlikely to kill him; it's just meant to teach him a lesson.

suburbs.

The small courtyard where Fan Jinyou is recuperating.

Last night, he and One-Eyed Dragon drank themselves into oblivion again.

"Damn you, Wan Ping'an! I refuse to accept this! We've never beaten you even once before!"

morning.

Fan Jinyou woke up from a nightmare.

In his nightmare, he angered Wan Ping'an again and was brutally beaten by Wan Ping'an, all four of his limbs were broken, and he was also kicked hard in the groin.

He woke up in fright on the spot, his head covered in cold sweat.

"Phew, thank goodness it was just a dream!"

Fan Jinyou subconsciously reached out to check.

The two testicles are still there.

He thought the nightmare was real, and that Wan Ping'an had turned him into a eunuch in the new era.

Fan Jinyou got out of bed and slowly walked out of the room.

His injury has improved a lot. He can walk slowly without crutches. He can't run or jump, but he can walk slowly as long as he doesn't rush.

"Where's the one-eyed man?"

Fan Jinyou found it strange.

"One-Eyed Dragon, I'm hungry, go get me some breakfast."

Fan Jinyou called out.

Both were wounded and were recuperating together, but the one-eyed man had to take on the responsibility of caring for him.

He didn't think anything was wrong.

Although he occasionally noticed that the one-eyed man seemed to have a problem with it, he didn't take it to heart. In his eyes, the one-eyed man was nothing.

I called out, but there was no response.

I called out again, but there was still no response.

"Oh no, is something bad going to happen?"

He limped into another room, the one-eyed man's small room.

He lived in a large, spacious, and bright room.

The one-eyed man lived in a small room that could barely fit a bed. The room was also very damp and used to be a storage room.

no one.

Many things are gone too.

"Oh no, has the one-eyed guy run away?"

Fan Jinyou was taken aback and turned to run back to his room.

Hey!

Fan Jinyou let out a scream.

His injuries hadn't fully healed, and he couldn't put too much weight on his legs. When he tried to run, the excruciating pain caused him to fall heavily with a thud.

It took him a while to get up.

Go back to your room.

Open the cabinet.

empty.

Money, all kinds of tickets, and even some good cigarettes—all gone.

"One-eyed dragon, how dare you steal my things?"

"You still dare to run?"

"You wait, if I catch you, I'll send you straight to jail."

Fan Jinyou gritted his teeth.
