Chapter 82 Grandfather, are you feeling unwell?
“Since you made a mistake, you should be punished. Let me think about how to punish you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three little heads lowered even further.
Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu were about to burst into tears again, but Jia Daihua found it quite amusing to watch them like this.
Jia Daishan watched helplessly as his elder brother played with his grandsons.
While we were waiting, we had already agreed that since they were curious, we would bring them along so they wouldn't cause any more trouble.
If you miss it even once and something really happens, it will be too late to regret it later.
Jia Daihua found their reactions both amusing and entertaining. He didn't say anything, but simply circled around the three of them, coughing once after each circle.
Every time he coughed, the three of them shuddered.
As if he had found amusement, Jia Daihua would cough from time to time, which frightened Jia Zhu so much that tears streamed down her face.
Jia Hu was also at a loss for what to do.
Jia Zhen was a carefree and oblivious person, and having been pampered since childhood, he was also quite bold. Hearing his grandfather coughing incessantly, he curiously looked up and asked:
"Grandfather, are you feeling unwell? Why are you coughing so much? Should we go see a doctor?"
As Jia Hu listened and felt the silence in the air, he lowered his head even further. Oh no, oh no, this brat just blurted out the truth.
Jia Daishan watched with amusement as his brother's expression shifted repeatedly, despite his initial enthusiasm for teasing the child.
Jia Daihua had originally raised his hand to tap Jia Zhen on the head, but when he looked at his grandson, he saw genuine worry in his eyes.
Jia Daihua hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.
Now only Jia Hu's head was lowering lower and lower, while Jia Zhu also raised his head and looked at his great-uncle with concern.
Upon seeing this, Jia Daihua said somewhat awkwardly:
"I'm fine. Weren't we talking about your punishment?"
Jia Daishan stepped forward and said, "Alright, brother, stop teasing them."
Then he said seriously, "The three of you really did something wrong. You were so bold as to sneak out."
Crawling through a dog hole? Aren't you ashamed?
And what if you encountered bad guys like today and they kidnapped you? Do you know what would happen?
Jia Hu's head is now lower and lower, lower and lower.
Jia Zhen had heard what his mother had said, and his face turned pale with fright.
Only Xiao Jiazhu was unaware of what was happening outside.
Jia Daishan saw that they were truly afraid, but he still wanted to explain things to them clearly.
“If you want to come out, why don’t you ask your elders for their permission instead of coming out without bringing anyone with you?”
Have you ever thought about what would happen to your parents if something really happened to you? What would happen to us, your grandparents?
Jia Hu recalled the scenes he had seen in his previous life: some were sold to such places, some were made to work as servants, and even more pitiful were those who had broken their legs and were begging on the streets.
At this moment, he truly regretted it. He shouldn't have brought his old mindset into this society. Just thinking about that scene filled Jia Hu with lingering fear.
If my recklessness this time really caused something to happen to my two younger brothers, I would truly...
Thinking that Jia Hu couldn't control his childish body either, tears began to fall down his face.
Seeing their older brother cry, the other two children also started to cry.
They used to cry so loudly, but now they're just silently shedding tears, which is even more heartbreaking.
This situation caused great distress to the two grandfathers.
Jia Daishan was especially distressed to see Jia Hu crying so bitterly; it was the first time he had ever seen his grandson cry.
The two couldn't resist going up and patting each other's heads, saying:
“You need to know that this behavior is unacceptable. If there is anything you need to discuss with an adult, when you are really grown up, we old folks will no longer be so annoying and will stop disciplining you.”
Jia Daihua coughed twice forcefully and said:
"Alright, stop crying. You just want to go out and have some fun. I'll take you."
Upon hearing this, Jia Hu and his two companions looked at Jia Daihua with tearful eyes.
Jia Daihua:
"Quickly wipe away your tears, aren't you ashamed?"
"Hurry up and wipe it clean, or I'll regret not taking you out to play."
The three children didn't even bother to take out their handkerchiefs; in their haste, they wiped their faces with their sleeves.
Then, somewhat nervously, he looked at Jia Daihua.
Jia Daihua:
"Going out to play is fine."
Let's make a three-point agreement first: you can't run around after we go out, you have to be obedient, and you're not allowed to cause trouble.
And today's punishment is that you must practice boxing every morning from now on. Can you manage that?
As long as they could go out and have fun, nothing else mattered, and the three of them immediately nodded.
Jia Daihua was satisfied.
"Let's go, where do you want to go?"
The child's face changed in an instant; the three who were just crying sadly were now holding hands and cheering in unison.
When Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan saw that their beloved grandchildren were no longer sad, they felt relieved. Heaven knows how heartbroken they were when they were crying.
The three of them huddled together again, talking about where they wanted to go, but none of them had ever been out before, and their suggestions were all very vague, with no one really knowing where they were going.
Jia Daihua heard them say they wanted to see fun things, eat delicious food, and watch street performances, but there was no set it up.
Jia Daihua then said:
"Today, you shall go wherever I take you."
Then he led them to the back door.
The three of them tensed up again. Didn't we agree to go out and have fun? Why are we back here again?
Jia Daishan couldn't resist and lightly tapped them on the head, saying:
"Look at you, can you even go out in public now? You look like little beggars."
The three of them then looked at each other.
Today I was climbing through windows and dog holes, my clothes were covered in dirt, and my sleeves were all wrinkled from wiping away tears, I really couldn't show myself to anyone.
The three children blushed slightly; they were raised to be so, and they also felt it was embarrassing and awkward.
Tell them to wait at the door, and go in to talk to someone.
There was a street right outside the back gate, and the three little ones curiously watched from there.
Just then, a candied hawthorn vendor passed by, and the three of them stared longingly at him.
Jia Daihua:
"You have so many good things at home that you haven't seen, yet you're so envious of a candied hawthorn."
Despite saying they were disgusted, they quickly waved for the candied hawthorn vendor to come over, and each of the three children picked out a large skewer.
They also instructed that each person could eat a maximum of three, but Pearl could only eat two; this stuff couldn't be eaten too much.
The three of them looked at the eight candied hawthorns in their hands, but they were only allowed to eat three. Jia Zhu only had two left, and she felt a little disappointed. However, the important thing was that they could actually eat them, so the three of them happily ate them at the door.
As Jia Daihua watched them eat happily, as if they were enjoying some rare delicacy, he secretly thought to himself that they were pathetic, but he couldn't hide the tenderness on his face.
