"My mother is very hospitable," Manbao thought it was perfectly normal for her to invite friends over to stay at her home.
Bai Shanbao didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking it over, he put down the snacks, ran to the bookshelf, and began searching for a book. Shortly after, he found a thin volume, and whispered, "This is my dad's diary from when he was a child, you can't tell anyone else."
Manbao exclaimed in surprise and leaned over to look. She then realized the cover was blank, just pasted over with a thick layer of paper. Upon opening it, she saw it was filled with bound scraps of paper, the writing on them was very childish.
"I found this in a miscellaneous book called 'History of the Former Dynasty,' Grandma said it's mostly fabrications by the common folk, nine parts false, one part true, not credible, but I still find it makes for interesting reading as a story," Bai Shanbao said.
