In the small courtyard of Hongli's mother's house, Xiaohuo sat on a swing covered with thick cotton cloth and swayed her little feet.

The swing was tied with a thick hemp rope under a tree that had lost all its leaves. The cold wind of winter had shaved its head, but its branches were still strong.

Compared with the predecessors in the mountain stream who are often hundreds of years old, this young tree that is only in its twenties and grows toward the sun is much more immature.

Because it is planted in the courtyard, it may be difficult for it to reach the size of a towering tree in the wild, but Five Colors City is not a bad place. Sufficient nutrients ensure that it has enough vitality to regenerate new shoots in the coming year.

But to this family, this tree is considered an "old member" and even came to this family earlier than Hongli.

The tree was planted by Hongli's parents when they built their new home after they got engaged, and Hongli's birth would take place after that.

The Heiyang family also has a big tree, but that tree is much older, at least several hundred years old.

Unlike the Hong family's house, which was built only about 20 years ago, the Heiyang family's house was originally the ancestral home of the Hei family.

As the family members moved to big cities one by one to develop and establish a firm foothold, this house was passed to Heiyang's father.

When Hong Li was a child, she visited Hei Yang's house for the first time and was shocked to see that his house was so much larger than her own.

But obviously, whether it was a "new house" built twenty years ago or an ancestral home passed down, Hongli Heiyang eventually moved out.

Although I really miss my parents!

But as long as you think about using the excuse of "living with your elders after getting married is a bit inconvenient" to move out, you can avoid your parents, and you won't wake up in the morning and won't sleep at night...

Just kidding, Hei Yang Hongli said that they really just wanted to cultivate their own independent spirit!

Well, as for how to develop after independence is another story...

At this time, Xiao Huo was gently swinging on the swing rope with one hand, and the other hand was holding a communication spirit stone that emitted a faint light.

She looked at the picture on the other end of the communication with empty eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "So, Mom and Dad, when did you sneak back?"

"Ah, this doesn't count as sneaking away. That sounds awful..."

Hei Yang lay on the pillow with a helpless look on his face. He coughed lightly and corrected his daughter seriously: "It's normal for the two of us to go home when we are tired from playing.

It’s not like he was going to do something ulterior, so how can he call it sneaking away..."

"Well, that's what dad said..."

Xiaohuo was stunned for a moment and realized that what his father said was indeed reasonable.

"But even if this is the case, I should tell Xiaohuo!"

Xiaohuo curled his lips and said with a serious expression on his face: "What if mom and dad get lost? Xiaohuo will be very worried!"

"Ah, I think the two of us won't even be able to find our home..."

Hei Yang showed his half-moon eyes. He knew that his daughter was planning to support her parents in their old age, but there was no need to treat them directly as Alzheimer's disease!

"And even if Xiaohuo doesn't believe your mother, you should believe your father!"

Hei Yang hummed: "Even if your mother is stupid and can't find a home, she still has your reliable father next to her!"

"makes sense……"

Xiaohuo nodded thoughtfully.

Although her father is always very troublesome, if you really want to talk about it, he is essentially the same as her mother.

But because my father is afraid that my mother will suffer a loss if she does things out of tune, or makes her elders angry because of her careless words, etc., I always worry about my mother.

So when her father is around her, she always forces herself to be more stable than her mother.

This way I can give my mother a punch to wake her up when she gets carried away...

"But speaking of mother?"

Xiaohuo only saw his father's figure in the communication screen, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is mom asleep?"

According to Xiaohuo's understanding of his mother, usually by this time, her mother would have already pounced on her and said things like, 'You are so unreliable,' and 'That bitch is slandering me again,' right?

Why is it so quiet now?

Could it be that my mother was really tired from shopping, so she fell asleep as soon as she got home?

"Her~hehe~"

Hei Yang gave a bad laugh and moved the camera lens behind him slightly: "Here, do you see it?"

"Eh?"

Xiao Huo was stunned for a moment.

Hong Li was seen kneeling next to Hei Yang and was busy squeezing Hei Yang's legs.

When she heard that she was mentioned in the conversation, she just glanced at him with resentment, then pouted her lips and turned her head away to continue immersing herself in her previous work.

Looking at her aggrieved look like a little bitch, I didn't know why she was being bullied by Hei Yang!

"Ah this..."

Xiao Huo came back to his senses, revealed his half-moon eyes, and said hehe: "I see, mom, has she made a mistake again and been punished..."

Others might think of this scene as a family dispute worth hundreds of thousands of words, but for Xiao Huo, it only took a little thought to understand what happened.

Based on Xiaohuo's understanding of her parents, there is a 90% chance that the current situation is happening because her mother deliberately committed suicide to make her father angry.

As for the reason why her mother made a fool of herself in front of her father, Xiaohuo didn't bother to guess - her mother never needed a reason to make a fool of herself in front of her father.

"whispering sound."

Hearing Xiao Huo's determined tone on the other end of the communication, Hong Li, who was obediently pinching Hei Yang's leg, felt unhappy.

Why was her Xiaohuo's first reaction so sure that it was her Hongli who made a mistake and was punished!

Doesn’t she look like that kind of dishonest person?

Although this is indeed the case...

But facts aside, isn’t it possible that it was Heiyang’s fault?

Couldn't it be, couldn't it be like this:

For example, Hei Yang unreasonably cursed innocent Xiao Li and so on...

For example, Hei Yang came back drunk and violently abused his wife, etc...

Another example is that Hei Yang suddenly felt uncomfortable using her as a punching bag or something...

Another example...

Okay, okay, the more she talked about it, the less likely it was that Hei Yang could do it.

She has done all kinds of bad things, her heart is dirty, she has wronged her, it is all her fault!

But damn it, when did Hei Yang's image become bigger in Xiao Huo's heart than her beloved mother!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She originally wanted to rush over and argue loudly with the prejudiced father and daughter.

But when she thought about the fact that she was still a "criminal", in the stage of labor reform, and could not hold her head high in front of the black sun, she decided to bear with him for now.

So angry! So angry! So angry!

Hong Li gritted her teeth and pinched Hei Yang's leg.

"Hiss~"

Hei Yang took a breath, someone was anxious, but he didn't say anything.

"dad?"

Xiao Huo asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Ahem, it's okay. It's not a big problem."

Hei Yang pretended to be calm and asked about serious matters: "So what are you going to say tonight?

Are you coming back, or are you staying with your grandma?"

If Xiaohuo didn't plan to come back tonight, he would have turned on all his defense systems.

After opening it, the entire home will be blocked on the map, so it will be quiet and no one will disturb you.

If Xiaohuo didn't say hello in advance and Heiyang Hongli didn't leave the door open for her, she might not be able to find a home.

"Well, Xiaohuo hasn't thought about this yet."

Xiaohuo took back the hand holding the swing, put his index finger against his chin, and thought seriously: "When it gets darker later, Xiaohuo will continue to go out to play with grandma and grandma.

They told Xiaohuo, Chengnan...well, Xiaohuo didn't know where Chengnan was talking about!

They said there will be beautiful fireworks in the south of the city tonight, and Xiaohuo wants to see them!"

"Over there in the south of the city, ah..."

Hei Yang showed a thoughtful expression and recalled: "When we were young a few years ago, our parents often took us to play, but in recent years we haven't gone much.

I thought there were no more fireworks there now, but are they still there?"

"It's the same thing every year, nothing interesting to see."

Hong Li's resentful voice came from the side. After a pause, she still couldn't help but said: "But it's really gorgeous."
