The higher the status, the smaller the external constraints.

When complex social activities are no longer necessary for survival, according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory, Shuimu has long reached the top or even higher level of self-needs, and morality and consciousness have almost become the standard and driving force governing his own actions.

Of course, Mizuki has not yet reached the point of detachment, at least the needs of aesthetics and knowledge, Mizuki has always existed.

The bond between family and friends is still very strong, not the old monster who lives too long and ignores everything, but a normal person with flesh and blood.

These things, Miyuki at a young age must not understand, and it is normal not to understand Mizuki's maverick actions.

"It's right if you don't understand, you are still young. In short, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just mention your father and my name, which can solve a lot of problems. If you don't even know me, when you grow up, you won't be able to. would be a problem."

Mizuki's big hand fondly touched the little guy's head,

"Let's not mention this for now! Tell me, what happened to you today?"

Xiaomeiyuki asked hesitantly while enjoying the sense of security brought by the temperature of Mizuki's palm:

"If you have a sister in the future, father, will you only like your sister and not me?"

"No, why do you think so?"

Mizuki had thought about whether Xiao Meixing would have the idea of ​​competing for favor.

Don't think that children don't understand anything if they have little experience. They are always observing and imitating the adults around them. They may be unexpectedly sensitive to information involving themselves. The competitive anxiety about the soon-to-be-born younger siblings is probably the most serious.

"Really? I didn't believe my father before, and I said a lot of bad things. Will my father be angry?"

"I'm not angry!"

The little girl who used to walk unsteadily has now begun to have trouble growing up. She can't help but hug her in her arms to comfort her when she is not suitable.

Mizuki squatted down and looked at Xiao Meixing's a little nervous face,

"Actually, it's because my father didn't do it well. He knew that Xiaomei had misunderstood and didn't explain it. In fact, he just wanted to see how surprised you would be when you found out. It's also wrong for a father with a bad taste..."

"Then... Father, would you like me more, or would you like my sister more?"

"Well...I think about it, I should like you a little more!"

Mizuki pretended to think for a while before answering.

"real?"

Miyuki asked with a hint of joy on her face,

"It's not a lie, is it?"

"How could I lie to Xiaomei..."

"Then...why, my father doesn't like my sister?"

"I like it! But my sister has your sister to care for her, and Xiaomei doesn't have a sister, so you have to like Xiaomei a little more, or Xiaomei will suffer..."

"Um!"

Miyuki happily clenched her little fist and said tentatively:

"It can't be too much, my sister will be unhappy!"

"It's hard to do! It's hard to know how much it should be. If it's too much, Xiaomei will take care of her sister more, and let her father's likes spread evenly..."

"Okay, then I reluctantly agree."

"That's settled!"

Mizuki and Xiaomeiyuki agreed that they could not go back on the hook,

"You're hungry, go wash your face and wash your hands first, and then eat in a while."

...

That night, Xiao Meixing, who was in a good mood, ate a large bowl of rice and fell asleep with a bulging belly.

Mizuki also knew that Xiao Tsubaki's work in the garrison was almost over.

"After half a month, I will be transferred to the secret code class, and at the same time serve as an advisor to the seal force..."

They are relatively leisurely, and have a lot of time to fish. At the same time, the work content is not specific, and they can take advantage of many loopholes to be lazy. Generally, ninjas who have retired from the front line will transition in similar departments and play a little residual heat.

"Who's taking over?"

The captain of the garrison, not just anyone can do it.

"Tend to Inuzuka Flower for the time being."

"It's her!"

This person used to be Mizuki's subordinate, and his ability is not bad.

"It's really rare that the hot-tempered and irritable Inuzuka family has a talented girl known for her intelligence."

Inuzuka's fighting ability is definitely not as good as Tsubaki's, but most of the time the garrison is facing ordinary villagers, and it is not necessary to require a captain to be proficient in two bloodlines and skill at the immortal mode. .

In particular, the rank of Joinin is barely enough. The garrison department pays more attention to the charm and action that convince the subordinates and the villagers under its control. At the same time, the skills of knowing the details and mediating disputes are also very important. These are the advantages of Inuzuka Hana , it is natural to stand out.

"It has been several years since the Great Ninja World War, and the garrison no longer needs to maintain a high-pressure posture for a long time. Some senior ninjas who are not suitable for staying in the garrison will gradually withdraw."

Of course, Chie Tsubaki, who was in it, could understand such a change.

"Shui Mu, how long can peace last this time?"

The Ninja World War broke out every ten years, and it almost became a routine. When it ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the final catastrophe, but every time it would repeat the same mistakes.

Now, has the ninja world jumped out of the law of chaotic cycles?

Most of the ninjas who survived the brutal Fourth Ninja World War have no clue.

The era of ninjas continues to develop, the combat power is getting stronger and stronger, and the top powerhouses have reached the level that they can destroy the world.

"I do not know either."

What will happen in the future, even Mizuki is not sure.

"Don't think so much, maybe this time peace has really come."

"Um!"

Tsubaki took back his thoughts,

"Xiaomei, has it been comforted?"

"It should be fine, Xiaomei is a good boy with a good heart."

"I thought you'd be more tactful."

"It's not necessary."

Mizuki shook his head.

The unease in Xiaomei's heart is not only because she is worried that her soon-to-be-born sister will take away the care her parents gave her, but also because she is worried that the number of family members and the changing relationship will lead to a strange sense of alienation.

Many parents enjoy playing with their children, but many confuse teasing with teasing.

Teasing will make children unhappy, and teasing will add laughter to children. The difference is whether to face up to the emotions of the little ones and treat them as equal objects of communication, rather than fools who fool at will.

"Xiaomei has grown up! In the future, let her be more involved in family affairs."

"You..."

Xiao Chun pursed his lips and smiled.

"Pampering Xiaomei like this, I'm not sure whether I will get closer to my mother in the future."
