"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing his elder brother suddenly become dazed, Zhou Hao couldn't help but step forward and push him, asking worriedly.

"Nothing, I just thought about something. By the way, where are you going? It's almost time for dinner!"

Zhou Tian quickly came to his senses and looked at Zhou Hao.

"Brother, I'm going to borrow a book from my classmate!"

"Borrow a book? What book? If that doesn't work, I'll borrow it for you!"

When he heard that his second brother was going to borrow a book, he felt a lot more relieved.

"It's a book about physics. Okay, brother, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go and come back quickly! I'm leaving first!"

As Zhou Hao was speaking, seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly said something to Zhou Tian and ran out of the yard.

This made Zhou Tian's heart rise suddenly: "No, it's very wrong. Is Xiao Hao dating someone?"

Normally, Zhou Tian was very confident in Zhou Hao's mature behavior, but today Zhou Hao's behavior was obviously a little strange. Borrowing books was not strange, but the problem was that he was in such a hurry to leave.

"Forget it, let's wait until he comes back and ask him again!"

After thinking about it, he decided not to chase after him. After all, Xiaohao was already so old and was about to take the college entrance examination. He didn't want to cause a conflict between the two of them over some trivial matters. He had also been Xiaohao's age and knew very well that children of this age did not like adults to interfere too much.

He shook his head, put Zhou Hao's matter behind him, and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Zhou Tian heard the crying of three children. He quickened his pace and entered the main room. He saw grandmother and mother-in-law coaxing a child each, while Shen Yulin was looking at Xiao Zhifeng with a grim face.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tian instantly had a vague guess in his mind, but he still walked to Shen Yulin, picked up Xiao Zhifeng and asked.

"Who bullied our little Zhifeng? Come and tell daddy, and daddy will beat him for you!"

When Shen Yulin, who was angry at the side, heard her husband say this, she couldn't help but glared at her husband with her beautiful eyes: "I hit him, what's wrong, do you want to help him get revenge?"

Zhou Tian paused when he heard this and said with a wry smile: "Impossible, how is that possible!"

"Xiao Zhifeng, come here, tell Dad what's going on? Why is Mommy angry?"

Looking at Zhifeng who was still sobbing in his arms, even though he felt very distressed, he still asked softly.

"Dad, I want to drink milk powder, but mom won't let me, and she even beats me!"

When Xiao Zhifeng heard what his father said, he immediately wiped away his tears, sobbing and complaining, his young face full of grievance.

"milk powder?"

When Zhou Tian heard about milk powder, he suddenly understood. He remembered that some time ago, Aunt Liu asked him to buy some milk powder for her family because her daughter-in-law did not have enough milk. He did not take it seriously at the time, so he specially asked someone to buy more.

After all, seeing that his wife was about to give birth again, he naturally wanted to stock up more. Although he could also apply to the higher-ups, he always felt that doing so was like taking advantage of the higher-ups. He still thought it was better to prepare more, even if it really wasn't enough by then. Therefore, after giving a few bags of milk powder to Aunt Liu, there was still a lot left at home.

He also knew that his wife was not someone who got angry easily, and she loved the three little ones no less than he did. She would not beat the children for no reason. There must be some misunderstanding here.

"Wife, what's going on?"

"Humph, what else can it be? It's you three little ancestors. It's fine if they want to drink milk powder, but who knew that you three little ancestors actually poured the whole bag of milk powder in. Tell me, this milk powder is so precious. Isn't this a pure waste?"

Shen Yulin said unhappily.

"this....."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhou Tian was at a loss for words. He wanted to say, "Isn't it just a bag of milk powder?" But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After all, in this era, milk powder can be regarded as a luxury.

Not to mention how many families have to beg for a bag of milk powder because their children don’t have enough milk. Not to mention those far away, isn’t Aunt Liu from their family the same?

If he said something like that, he would probably feel that he couldn't justify it even in his heart.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Isn't Xiao Zhifeng also ignorant? You, don't blame him."

At this time, the grandmother who was holding little Zhiyi suddenly spoke.

"Grandma, this is not a question of being sensible or not, but a question of waste!"

Shen Yulin retorted that she did not agree with her grandmother's point of view. The children were still young and ignorant, and adults could forgive them, but the problem was that as the children grew up, she could feel that her three children were very smart.

At just less than one and a half or two years old, they can already speak fluently. She has even seen the three little ones reading and learning to read with their sister-in-law more than once. Now, the three little ones can recite a first-grade book by heart.

If she continued to spoil them, she was really afraid that she would teach the three little ones bad things.

"What are you talking about, you silly girl? You three are so young, do you know what waste is? And you're still wasting? Have you never wasted anything in your life?"

At this time, the mother-in-law who was coaxing little Zhinan was not happy. "Zhifeng, Zhinan is so young, what do they know? You were not as good as them when you were a child!"

"Mom, I'm talking about the child's education!"

Shen Yulin suddenly felt numb. She didn't expect that just educating Zhifeng would cause such great dissatisfaction from her grandmother and mother. She felt aggrieved instantly in her heart, and tears instantly filled her eyes, and the tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Okay, Mom, Grandma, stop talking. Xiao Zhifeng, come here, Daddy will ask you!"

Seeing that the situation would affect family harmony if it continued to develop, Zhou Tian had no choice but to calm his grandmother and mother-in-law down before looking at Xiao Zhifeng in his arms.

"If you have a very precious toy that no other child has, but your brother breaks it, would you be angry?"

When Xiao Zhifeng heard this, he gradually stopped sobbing, and seemed to think for a while before nodding: "Dad, I will be angry!"

"Look, the milk powder at home was bought by Dad with great difficulty from other places, and other children couldn't drink it even if they wanted to. But you poured all the milk powder into the water at once, wasting so much. Do you think Mom should be angry?"

Perhaps fearing that he still didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter, Zhou Tian continued to emphasize: “You know, that’s something many hungry children can’t even drink. Do you think you’re doing the right thing?”

At this point, Xiao Zhifeng was silent, and nodded after a long time: "Dad, Zhifeng was wrong, please let me go, I want to apologize to Mom!"

"Hahaha, isn't that right? Xiao Zhifeng, you have to remember that it's not terrible to do something wrong. What's terrible is that you know you did something wrong, but you don't realize it. That's terrible. Come on, daddy puts you down, and you quickly apologize to mommy!"

Hearing that his son was so sensible, Zhou Tian couldn't help but laugh heartily a few times before he put Xiao Zhifeng down.
