When Xue Shi saw that the carriage had passed, he sneakily peeked out from the shop. It was only when Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had driven the carriage to the corner in front and could no longer be seen that he waved his hand and called out, “Okay, let’s go! Xue Bai must be waiting for us!”
Xue Sifu and Xue Erfu were still in the main hall. The two of them were standing at the counter and talking. Hearing this, before Xue Erfu could say anything, Xue Sifu had already grabbed the back of Xue Shi’s collar with one hand and pulled him back.
Prince Shou, who was extremely lazy and didn’t want to take a step, immediately stood still.
“What are you trying to do now?” Xue Sifu asked Xue Shi with a smile. Everyone in the family knew that his nephew was notorious for starting trouble. Without waiting for Xue Shi to reply, Xue Sifu smiled at Xue Erfu. “Erfu, why don’t you take care of your son? Look at him! It’s clear he’s going to do something naughty.”
“If my wife can’t do anything about it, how can I?” Xue Erfu was leaning against the counter. Then, his gaze fell on his son. “We’ve covered for you before. Shouldn’t you tell us what you want to do? Don’t be too mischievous. Otherwise, I can’t do anything when your mother hears about it. Your mother’s temper is getting worse and worse. She even scratched me the day before yesterday because of a fight.”
“Then why do you always beat me up when I say that my mother is a tigress?” Xue Shi made a face at his father. His father did not mean what he said. He liked his mother to death.
Xue Erfu was so angry that he laughed.
“Erfu, aren’t you going to beat him up for saying that?” Xue Sifu was also amused.
Xue Erfu’s legs were crossed as he leaned against the bed. He smiled and said, “It’s not like you don’t know that I don’t hit children. It’s not the custom in our family. Alright, let him and Prince Shou leave before I change my mind. They haven’t caused any big trouble for so many years. Don’t bother.”
Only then did Xue Sifu let go of the hand that was grabbing Xue Shi’s back collar. He still could not help but laugh. “Erfu, it’s precisely because of a father like you that he’s been spoiled to such an extent.”
Without waiting for Xue Erfu to speak, Xue Shi made a face and said, “How can you only blame me? Everyone in the family has a share!”
“Haha, you’ve seen through it.” Xue Sifu laughed out loud. “Alright, alright, alright. As your uncle, I have a part to play as well. Get lost before I change my mind too.”
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Xue Shi immediately told Prince Shou to leave quickly.
Prince Shou was so hesitant that he wanted to lie on the table in the lobby. Moreover, the sun was so hot that he didn’t want to go out at all.
Xue Shi was a little impatient, so he immediately started again. He dragged Prince Shou away and went to their carpenter shop to look for Xue Bai.
“Uncle!” Xue Shi brought Prince Shou into the carpenter’s shop and shouted.
Even if he was lazy, he was still polite. Prince Shou also called his greeting. “Hello.”
“What are the both of you doing here? Just now, Xue Bai was wondering why you guys hadn’t come looking for him. Come over here, have a popsicle. The both of you look so sweaty. It must be hot outside.” The simple and honest Xue Yifu immediately took out two popsicles from the quilt in the small wooden box and gave one each to Xue Shi and Prince Shou.
He even took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off the two children’s heads.
Xue Bai was already eating a popsicle.
