Chapter 958
Xiaoxin shook his head.
Haonan laughed and said, “Stupid! Because you were not well-behaved. But that means if you treat Little Brother Xiaowang well, your Fourth Aunt will treat you well!”
Xiaoxin was not stupid either. Once he recognised the reality of the situation, he was able to quickly get closer to the winners. He immediately apologised to Xiaowang, “Brother Xiaowang, I will treat you well in the future.”
Xiaowang was a child who would not bear grudges, “Mom said that a good child is one who corrects his mistakes, so I forgive you.”
Haonan said, “Only if you do this will we allow you to join our bald squad.”
With that, Xiaoxin also expressed his desire to shave his head.
Erwang laughed, “Don’t shave your head in the first month of the year. If you shave your head, your uncle will be happy(1).” Death was not allowed to be spoken of during Chinese New Year, so instead, they used words with similar pronunciations to replace it.
(T/N: The actual pronunciation is siqiaoqiao but the pronunciation of ‘uncle will be happy’ is xijiujiu. It doesn’t sound similar now, but with how Mandarin works, it actually sounds pretty alike.)
Xiaoxin immediately covered his head. Thinking about his uncles possibly dying, his face changed. If he shaved his head, he would be beaten to death. He looked at Erwang nervously, “Don’t shave your head, I don’t want my father to…”
The children laughed.
Sanwang, “Stupid, if shaving your head really kills your uncle, then no one will have a father or uncle.”
