The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

In the main house on the left side of courtyard number 93, Li Kaixin and his family of five are having breakfast.

"Dad, next time you go to the grain station to buy grain, you must go with more people." Li Kaixin spoke first after eating an egg.

Father Li Mingde paused in his work, looked up at his eldest son, and asked, "Kaixin, what's wrong? What happened?"

Li Kaixin gave a soft "hmm" and slowly said, "Uncle Song across the street went to the grain station to buy grain the day before yesterday, but he was robbed on his way back and his leg was broken."

"Really? They dare to rob people in broad daylight in the city?" Qin Xiuli, the mother, immediately changed her expression upon hearing this.

"Mom, why would I lie to you?"

Li Kaixin replied, then looked at her father, "Dad, next time please invite a few more people, don't go alone again."

"Okay, I understand." Father Li Mingde nodded. "Next time I buy grain, I'll call Old Sun and the others."

The father and son had just finished speaking.

Just like yesterday, Li Kai, the younger brother, took two eggs from the large bowl in the middle of the table and secretly hid them in his pocket.

When Qin Xiuli, the mother, saw this, she smiled and said, "Xiao Kai, take two more for yourself!"

"No need, Mother, two are enough for me." Li Kai's eyes darted around, and he seemed a little guilty.

Father Li Mingde put down his chopsticks and interrupted his second son impatiently:

"You brat, stop pretending. We know perfectly well that those two eggs in your pocket are for Xiaohua."

"Dad, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Kai stopped mid-sentence, glaring angrily at Li Xiaoxiao beside him: "Li Xiaoxiao, did you betray me?"

"Li Kai, don't wrong people."

Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, who wouldn't see through your little schemes?"

Before Li Kai could say anything more, Li Kaixin spoke first:

"Mother, I think you should stop cooking two extra eggs for Kai from now on. He doesn't want us to know anyway."

"Huh?" Li Kai was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterward, he realized what was happening and quickly grabbed Li Kaixin's arm: "No, brother, I was wrong."

"Xiao Kai, aren't you apologizing to the wrong person?" Li Kaixin shook off her younger brother's hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Kai quickly smiled apologetically at Li Xiaoxiao beside him: "Xiaoxiao, I was wrong just now, please forgive me this time."

Li Xiaoxiao had no intention of paying attention to him anymore. She snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Having no other choice, Li Kai turned to look at his older brother again.

"Don't look at me. If you don't get Xiaoxiao to forgive you today, you'll be in for a beating." Li Kaixin's face hardened, and her voice deepened.

He's really angry now.

If Li Kai is already yelling at his family over such a small thing, what will happen in the future if he is not stopped?

Father Li Mingde and mother Qin Xiuli watched this scene without saying a word.

The second son's attitude towards Xiaoxiao was indeed excessive, and he deserved to be taught a lesson.

Seeing that his older brother was truly angry, Li Kai immediately dropped his playful grin.

He stood up, his tone becoming serious: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you!"

Li Xiaoxiao also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly waved her hand to forgive him.

Seeing this, Li Kai turned around cautiously and asked, "Big brother, what do you think?"

Li Kaixin didn't rush to answer. Instead, she looked into her younger brother's eyes and asked, "Xiao Kai, who's providing you with all the food and supplies you have now?"

Although Li Kai didn't understand why his older brother asked that question, he still honestly replied, "Yes, yes, it's Father, Mother, and my older brother."

"Then let me ask you again, why should my parents and I give it to you?" Li Kaixin continued to press.

Li Kai immediately lowered his head, unsure how to answer.

"Li Kai, let me tell you why! It's because we're blood relatives, we're brothers!"

Li Kaixin raised her voice a few decibels as she spoke, "But today you yelled at Xiaoxiao over such a trivial matter. Do you think you did the right thing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Kai finally understood.

He looked up at Li Kaixin, his eyes red: "Big brother, I know I was wrong! I swear I will never do it again."

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry for him and quickly pleaded, "Big brother, Li Kai is just a bit sharp-tongued, but he usually takes good care of me. Please don't be angry."

"Alright, alright, since Xiaoxiao says so, let's put this matter behind us for today."

At this point, the father, Li Mingde, smoothed things over and then gave his second son a word of advice:

"You brat, remember we're family. Never do anything to betray your family!"

"Understood, Dad!" Li Kai nodded heavily.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Qin Xiuli, the mother, quickly called out:

"I've already said that, stop talking, hurry up and eat, we have to go to work or school later!"

After he finished speaking, the family picked up their chopsticks again and started eating.

Seeing that her younger brother was only picking at what was in his own bowl, Li Kaixin spoke up again: "Xiao Kai, take two more eggs, they're especially for you."

"Okay! Thank you, brother." Li Kai nodded and reached into the bowl to take two more eggs.

This time, however, he didn't put it in his pocket; instead, he peeled it open and ate it directly.

After breakfast, the family members went to work or school, some as usual.

As soon as Li Kaixin entered the transportation station, he saw Zhou Zhiming sitting on a stool in the shed, holding an enamel mug in his hand.

He was sitting with his legs crossed, looking completely relaxed.

After parking his bicycle, Li Kaixin walked straight over.

"Zhiming, you're a different person now that you're a master. You're already having such a good time on your second day." Li Kaixin walked up to him, crossed his arms, and looked at him.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Zhiming immediately stood up and chuckled.

"Master, you know what, being a master really makes a difference. Tomorrow I'll come to work at the same time as you."

"Come on, you're just copying my bad habits all the time."

Li Kaixin laughed and scolded, then looked around, "Where did your apprentice go? I can't find him."

"Master, Xiao Meng is still maintaining the car under the vehicle," Zhou Zhiming gestured with his chin towards his car.

Li Kaixin looked over and saw Meng Qingguo lying under the car, with only his feet sticking out.

"He was able to start the skincare routine the very next day?" he asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

Zhou Zhiming puffed out his chest smugly.

"This Xiao Meng already has a solid foundation even before he's joined; he knows quite a lot. Once we teach him a little more, he'll be able to handle short-distance races, and I can finally slack off like you do."

Li Kaixin was completely speechless after hearing this. His eldest apprentice had truly mastered the art of laziness to perfection.

"Alright, you can continue to sit and enjoy yourself. I'll go see if your second junior brother has arrived yet."

With that, she ignored him and walked toward her parking space.
