An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Seeing Brother Kuan's hesitation, Xu Zize stuffed the nine-linked rings and small building blocks into his arms and said, "Following your father doesn't necessarily mean you have to lead troops to fight. Besides, leading troops to fight wars also requires brains. Playing this can improve your intelligence and make you smarter." Brother Kuan suddenly became open-minded and thought it through.

He said happily, "Then I want these two." He held the nine-ring puzzle and the small building blocks, with a satisfied smile on his face.

When Da Niu and Er Niu saw that Brother Kuan had obtained the nine-link chain and the small building blocks, they felt a little uncomfortable. They looked at the slingshots in their hands and suddenly felt that they were not so good.

They regretted their choice a little, but looking at Jing Chunxi and Xu Zize, although they looked expectant, they didn't dare to speak.

Xu Zize seemed to see through their thoughts and said, "Da Niu and Er Niu are from the same family. Brothers can play with things together. You two can pick two more things." These words rekindled the light of hope in the eyes of the two brothers, and they took a step forward.

Without hesitation, Big Ox reached for the Nine Rings, and Second Ox also picked up the small building blocks. They felt a tacit understanding between them, and finally smiled at each other, reaching a silent agreement.

Sanniu was not greedy. When his name was called, he immediately took action and touched the leather Cuju without hesitation. The Cuju was very exquisitely made, with the leather in several colors and even embroidered patterns on it.

Sanniu took the Cuju and couldn't let it go. He pressed it gently to expel the air from it, then released his grip, allowing the ball to return to its original shape. He found the ball so fascinating that he completely forgot about his original little black ball.

There was a Cuju ball and a few hairbands left. Jing Chunxi stuffed the Cuju ball directly into Cuifang's hand. Cuifang was very pleased with it and immediately stuffed it into her arms, fearing that someone else would snatch it away.

The remaining headbands were all given to the four boys. Each child got something he liked, and his face was filled with happy smiles.

However, Jing Chunxi didn't dare to take out the big meat bun to share, as she was worried that everyone would find out.

She thought, with all these guests here, the kitchen would definitely have enough meat for the next two days. She looked at the children's round faces and thought they wouldn't be hungry.

Whatever! Maybe their mother is still helping out in the kitchen, getting some delicious food every day, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore!

After the gifts were distributed, the house was still filled with the children's laughter.

However, the lively atmosphere was soon interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Jing Changjiang walked in with a few people: Uncle Sijiu, Brother Qier, and Uncle Kuaijiao. Their arrival instantly made the atmosphere in the room tense.

As soon as Jing Changjiang entered the room, he looked at Jing Chunxi with a questioning look. He didn't know what had happened, but he saw that the children's faces still had the joy they had just had, but now they looked a little uneasy.

Jing Chunxi nodded slightly, indicating that everything was fine. Jing Changjiang then found a stool and sat down with confidence, but he looked at the two of them with suspicion.

"What have you guys done?" Brother Qi Er saw the five children lined up in a row, all of them covered in dirt. His smile immediately faded. He figured they must have been in trouble, or even offended someone important.

As soon as he finished speaking, the joy on the children's faces instantly disappeared. Big Cow and Second Cow even shrank back, trying to take the opportunity to slip away. Third Cow stumbled and almost sat down again. Fortunately, Xiao Man was quick-witted and picked him up.

"Why are you being mean to the kids?" Jing Changjiang saw this and immediately shouted in anger. When he came in, he carefully observed the expressions of Jing Chunxi and Xu Zize. They were clearly filled with joy, and it didn't look like anything bad had happened. Besides, the exquisite gifts in the children's hands were obviously given to them by Jing Chunxi. This was a gesture of goodwill to the children! How could he do this when something happened?

He glared at Qi Er with disgust in his eyes: You have no tact at all!

Brother Qi Er smiled awkwardly, but couldn't help but glaring at Brother Kuan with an unhappy look on his face, and hesitantly affirmed: "What good can they do!" There was a hint of blame in his voice, as if the children were born troublemakers.

"Today, they really did a good thing. If they tell it about it, the general will reward the children." Xu Zize's voice broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

He threw the big black ball to the ground, and it bounced several times, making a thumping sound. Xu Zize took his hand back and placed it in Jing Changjiang's hand. He also helped Jing Changjiang close his hand and let him pinch the big black ball to feel its elasticity.

At the same time, Xiaoman also put the little black ball into Uncle Sijiu's hand and asked him to knead it.

Jing Chunxi waved to Da Niu and Er Niu who were almost at the door, signaling them not to be afraid and continue to retreat.

"You're not as smart as the kids! You haven't even seen the treasures hidden in the mountains." Xu Zize continued, his tone teasing. His words eased the atmosphere in the room a little, but the kids were still a little nervous.

"What is this? Did you dig it up from the mountain?" Jing Changjiang looked at Xu Zize, then at the children. He was a rough man to begin with, and even though he had softened the lines on his face, he still made the children a little nervous. None of the children spoke, only lowered their heads, looking a little uneasy.

"The General is asking you a question! Answer quickly." Seeing the children's stunned expression, Brother Qi Er couldn't help but feel anxious. He spoke even more aggressively, never expecting the words "General" to startle the children even more. Although they had great respect for the General, they were now even more timid.

"Brother Kuan, Daniu, don't be afraid. The general will only go to the battlefield to kill the enemies and will not make things difficult for you. After we finish talking, the general may even give you gifts as rewards." Jing Chunxi's gentle words made the children relax a little, but after all, they had never seen the world and did not know how to answer for a while.

"Brother Da Niu taught us to make this using tree pulp. Before it was burned, it was white pulp, but after burning, it became a ball like this. It wasn't that black originally, but we made it dirty while playing with it." Cuifang is the bravest among the children, and girls are always favored at home.

She often followed her mother in the kitchen, was used to being teased, and was quite courageous. However, when she said this, she was still facing her familiar Uncle Sijiu, and did not dare to look directly at Jing Changjiang's slightly majestic face.

After saying that, she added, "We didn't steal the sap from Ling Bo's house. We cut it ourselves and didn't go up the mountain." As she spoke, she pointed to the location of the mountain, fearing that she would be misunderstood.

Brother Kuan finally came to his senses and said, "We cut them from the trees at the foot of the mountain. There are a lot of these trees on the mountain, everywhere." Big Cow and Second Cow nodded in agreement. Third Cow was still fiddling with the Cuju in his hands, obviously not yet satisfied.

At this time, the older children noticed the smiles on the faces of the senior officials and felt much calmer. Knowing that they would not be embarrassed, they no longer felt pressured.
