Xiao Minmin is the kind of girl who is physically strong, energetic, and has strong execution ability.

Like Nie Rong, Zhui Feng has reached the stage of simply getting by, as he's too old to run anymore.

But as Minmin petted it, she noticed it nudging her head closer. So she simply sat down on the ground, stretched out her legs, and with a little effort, pulled the dog into her arms. Zhuifeng couldn't actually see it, but unlike horses, which dislike children, dogs love kids. Besides, Nie Zhao never allowed Ayuan to hug the dog, so being held by a child gave Zhuifeng a long-lost feeling of playing with a child. It whimpered twice and even wagged its tail.

Minmin looked back at Chen Rou: "Auntie, it's so well-behaved and sensible."

Then she said to Xiao Zhang, "Mom, let's get a dog too. I really like dogs like this."

Xiao Zhang, of course, didn't respond. She was still a traditional parent, and of course, she was the same age as Li Xia and thought about things in a similar way.

In a time when everyone is raising their children to play the violin, painting, or piano, should a family as privileged as hers really push their daughter to pursue her passion for military service from a young age?

To be envied, admired, and looked up to by someone of the same sex, and to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in oneself—if one could achieve that, it would indeed be an incredibly exhilarating feeling, just as Mrs. Nie said. But that path is also arduous and difficult to traverse.

Then Xiao Zhang changed the subject and started talking to Chen Rou about school, since she had come to find a school to study at.

Of course, Nie Zhao meant that if Xiao Zhang was too busy to study, he could sponsor one of Xiao Zhang's places at various universities in Hong Kong because of Nie's long-term donations.

But Minmin's second uncle had already been betrayed, and he was most afraid of such things. Xiao Zhang dared not do that; she had to take the exam herself.

Of course, although Chen Rou repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, saying that there were many rooms in the house and that she and Minmin could stay at the Nie family's house.

But to avoid gossip, Xiao Zhang and his daughter returned to the hotel that evening.

The reason why our ancestors always said that you can tell what a person will be like at the age of three is because even at the age of three, a child's intelligence is different.

A-Yuan spent the whole day playing with his sister, and he kept yawning. He was also very sad when his sister left.

He only cheered up a little after Minmin personally promised to come and play with him again the next day.

And he hasn't forgotten his little snail either.

The wet nurse certainly couldn't bear to throw it away; the young master loved it so much. She found a small box and kept it specially for him.

Of course, the snail has already retracted into its shell, and it looks like an ordinary snail shell.

The wet nurse tried saying, "It might be dead. Should we throw it away?"

Ah Yuan shook his head: "No way."

Mom was on the phone, making endless calls. A-Yuan rode his little bike and pedaled away to the poolside.

The flower bed platform was too high for him to reach, so he hopped around.

The nanny was about to hold him when she saw the ghostly Second Uncle of the house arrive, so she stood back.

It was Nie Yao who waited until the guests left before coming downstairs. He picked up A Yuan and asked, "What are you looking for?"

A-Yuan plucked a flower, then tried to pluck a leaf.

There were roses growing here, and to prevent his hands from getting pricked, Nie Yao helped him pick some morning glories.

The child turned around and put everything into the small box that the wet nurse was holding.

Snails don't die easily; they just tend to come out if the environment isn't suitable.

And what it likes to stay in is a damp environment with flowers and grass. Isn't it perfect that A-Yuan is looking for flowers and grass for it?

Of course, since the child had tried so hard, the nanny had to help him, so she grabbed a handful of clay and put it in.

But the snail still didn't move. Why? What else does A-Yuan need to look for?

Suddenly, the child exclaimed again, "Wow!"

Nie Yao looked at it, smiled, and reached in to help him grab one: "There's one more."

So, they actually have more than one snail at home, is there another one?

This is a wall, and it's quite high, so repair machines can't reach it. The snails can only survive by being trimmed manually. And there are more than two of them. After looking around for a while, A Yuan spotted another one: "Wow, wow?"

Okay, Nie Yao picked it up for him.

But then A-Yuan spotted another one: "Wow wow wow wow?"

This is really not going to work. It's okay to hide one or two, but a whole bucket of them, how can the wet nurse help him hide them?

The annoying second uncle had already looked after the child, and since the nanny was about to take him away, he said, "Let's go upstairs and rest."

Four snails were found at once, but there weren't enough flowers, so A-Yuan had to pick another one.

But the wet nurse was obviously more experienced. She put a piece of wet clay in the box, and gradually the snails emerged from their shells and climbed onto the clay.

Ah Yuan, who has no friends, really loves these little snails. He's even prepared to sleep with them tonight.

Nie Yao helped him catch a snail, and A Yuan was very polite and thanked him.

He said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

The nanny said, "Say goodbye to Second Uncle."

He remained obedient: "Bye~"

Nie Yao watched the child leave, feeling lost and dejected.

A-Yuan really wanted to show his mother his snail, but seeing her making a phone call on the lawn, he decided not to disturb her.

The snails were contained in a box that Nie Zhao used to store tea.

He understood his father well; holding the box, he earnestly said to the nanny, "Daddy, you can't."

The nanny nodded: "Let's keep it from Dad and not tell him."

Poor thing, it doesn't even have a friend to play with every day, yet it cherishes a snail like that.

The nanny helped Ah Yuan hide these little snails.

The little guy was being held by his nanny, his round, clear eyes fixed intently on his little snail.
