He had been late for several days in a row, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't finish his homework at night, which caused him to sleep late and naturally struggle to wake up in the morning, while at home chickens and pigs were waiting for him.
That wasn't counting the need to cook meals. On the first day, he almost set the house on fire. It was Great Grandpa who taught him how to cook and then gave him a bowl of pickles and meat. He ate it all at once.
He had only realized these past few days how tiring household chores truly were. Even playing had become a luxury. He really didn't know how Bai Zhi had managed to do it all initially.
It seemed like he had never focused on this issue, only feeling that Bai Zhi was annoying, always bullying Xixi.
He never thought to help out and just wanted to eat candy.
But now...
He discovered that actually, the one who was the most tired was Bai Zhi.
