Chapter 47 An Shisi, I'll definitely bring a bowl to your house tomorrow, okay...

"Fang Wangxi, what are you doing at my house?" An Shisi stopped in front of Fang Wangxi, put his hands on his knees, and bent over to look at Fang Wangxi who was sitting on the ground.

"An Shisi!" Fang Wangxi was very surprised to see An Shisi. He jumped up from the ground and grabbed An Shisi, asking, "Is this your home?"

“Yes.” An Shisi nodded emphatically.

"Is your home the welfare home?" Fang Wangxi asked eagerly.

"Mmm." An Shisi continued to nod.

"Can I stay at your house?"

"Huh?" An Shisi scratched his head. "But we don't have any extra beds in our room."

“I can ask my dad to bring my bed over.”

"Oh well."

Fang Wangxi grabbed Fang Wangyue, who was sitting on the ground engrossed in playing with a bare flowerpot, and said, "Can my sister come to your house too?"

Fang Wangyue looked at An Shisi and introduced herself, "I'm your younger sister."

As the three children were talking, the others approached.

Fang's mother greeted Wen Min and his group, and then explained her child's willful behavior with some embarrassment.

“I punished him for taking his sister out yesterday. This morning, as soon as he woke up, he kept saying he wanted to run away from home. When he went out, he met some elderly people in the park and told them that his parents didn’t want him anymore and that he was running away from home. The elderly people joked that if his parents didn’t want him, he could go to an orphanage. So he came running back, and no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t pull him back.”

As for why he ran away from home in the morning but only arrived at the orphanage in the afternoon, it was because her son had been chatting with the elderly people in the park all day. It wasn't until the elderly people went home that her son remembered he had to run away from home again. However, there was no need to tell outsiders about this; it would be embarrassing.

Wen Min said she understood, "Have you had lunch yet?"

I know that mothers wouldn't let their children go hungry, but I can't resist my curiosity.

Fang's mother laughed awkwardly, "He ate. He chatted non-stop with the elderly people in the park, even teaching them how to order takeout, and he also treated himself and his sister to a meal."

Wen Min smiled and said to Fang Wangxi, "Hello, what's your name? Are you our fourteenth son's kindergarten classmate?"

Fang Wangxi tilted her head back and nodded. "Hello, Auntie. My name is Fang Wangxi, and my younger sister is Fang Wangyue. An Shisi and I are classmates in Class 2 of Middle School."

Wen Min extended her hand, "Welcome to our home."

Fang Wangxi, feeling dizzy with joy, shook hands with Wen Min, "Auntie, you're so beautiful."

Wen Min smiled brightly and pinched Fang Wangxi's chubby cheeks, which were red from the sun. "Thank you for the compliment. You and your sister are both very cute."

Fang Wangxi and his family were invited to visit the welfare home.

...

Although An Fusheng has to cook, take care of the child, and do housework every day, he doesn't have much time to dig, but he has accumulated a small plot over the past few days, which he can use to plant radishes today.

An Fusheng was going to plant vegetables, and how could he do without a group of assistants?

Wen Xingmou and Wen Xinglan fell asleep, while Wen Xingrui and Wen Xinghe were taken to the third floor to play by Aunt Lou. Half of the assistant team was gone. An Fusheng found some old clothes for Wen Xinglin and An Shisi to change into, and then took them to the vegetable garden.

Fang Wangxi and his sister's clothes were worn so badly on the way to the welfare home and just now at the entrance of the welfare home that their original color was no longer visible. Fang's mother was not the meticulous type of childcare provider. As long as the children's safety was ensured, she let them do whatever they wanted, and she was happy to be carefree. So, Fang's mother waved her hand and let Fang Wangxi take his sister to play in the vegetable garden with An Fusheng.

Children are born to love playing in the dirt. When they come to the field, it's like they've come to their happy old home. One by one, they give the soil a close hug with "thump, thump, thump," and then roll around 360 degrees until they are called to help with the work, at which point they scramble to their feet.

"Come and sow the seeds!"

Bai Mangmang, holding a red plastic bag full of radish seeds, called to the children rolling on the ground. She was now the leader of An Fusheng's vegetable-growing team. As long as An Fusheng dug the ground, Bai Mangmang would take care of everything else.

"Put seven seeds in each hole." Bai Mangmang took radish seeds from the bag and handed them to the children who were gathered in a circle. "Be careful not to spill them."

"Okay." An Shisi cupped the radish seeds in her hands, then realized she didn't have time to count them or plant them. "Sister!"

Bai Mangmang was distributing seeds to Fang Wangxi when she asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't have enough hands!"

An Shisi stood by the vegetable pit, holding seeds in his hands, looking at him pleadingly.

Wen Xinglin withdrew his hand from the radish seeds he had reached out to collect. "I know what to do. We can divide the work!"

"How do we cooperate?" Bai Mangmang asked.

“We can work in pairs, with one person carrying the seeds and the other planting them.”

Bai Mangmang suddenly realized, "Yes!"

Therefore, the vegetable-growing assistant team was divided into the following roles:

Wen Xinglin and An Shisi were in a group. Wen Xinglin was responsible for collecting radish seeds, while An Shisi was responsible for counting and planting them.

Fang Wangxi and Fang Wangyue were in a group. Fang Wangyue was responsible for collecting radish seeds because she couldn't count. In fact, she couldn't collect all the radish seeds, but a pocket on the front of her clothes solved this problem for her.

Bai Mangmang was responsible for following behind and supplying radish seeds to the sowing team;

Bai Miaomiao was in charge of watering the plants.

With clear division of labor, the experienced workers worked methodically and in perfect harmony; however, the novices...

"Little sister, I've already put seven seeds in that hole. Don't put any more in. Aren't you the one in charge of planting them, you know?"

"Little sister, don't fall into the pit!"

"Little sister, you can't sit in the pit either!"

"younger sister……"

Fang Wangxi was extremely worried.

Fortunately, everyone worked together and successfully finished planting the radishes.

After planting the radishes, An Shisi took Fang Wangxi to see their bean sprouts.

"We grew all these bean sprouts ourselves," An Shisi said proudly. "Really, sister?"

Bai Mangmang nodded, "That's right!"

"Did you grow all of these?" Fang Wangxi asked incredulously. So many plump bean sprouts! This is amazing!

"Yes, my brother dug the ground, we planted beans, and then we went to sleep. The beans sprouted, and we even ate bean sprouts yesterday. They were super delicious."

"Really?" Fang Wangxi had eaten bean sprouts before, but he felt that the bean sprouts from An Shisi's family were different from what he had seen. These bean sprouts were standing upright, and they were grown by An Shisi and his family, so they must be different.

"I want to eat some too." Fang Wangxi was very regretful that he hadn't been able to come to An Shisi's house earlier to participate in planting bean sprouts.

"We can only eat it after dinner."

"Can my sister and I have dinner at your house?"

"Can."

"An Shisi, your home is so nice! Can I stay at your home forever?"

"Can."

"Meow~" Afu slowly walked out of the bushes.

"Kitty." Fang Wangyue didn't understand the discussion about planting bean sprouts. She was playing in the dirt on the ground when she looked up and saw a kitten. Fang Wangyue was extremely excited.

“It’s Afu.” An Shisi said, looking at Afu who emerged from the dry grass. “Why did Afu’s color change?”

Upon seeing the cat, Fang Wangxi remembered the incident of An Shisi's family eating cat ears. She looked nervously at Afu's head and saw only a head full of black balls, with no ears. Fang Wangxi exclaimed in horror, "It...it really doesn't have ears!"

An Fusheng looked over at the sound and saw Afu covered in burrs. "Because he was covered in burrs."

Wen Xingmou exclaimed, "Wow, Afu is wearing new clothes today too!"

"Oh no, Afu's stuck!" Bai Mangmang ran to catch Afu. "What happened to you?"

Previously, when An Fusheng was weeding the field, the weeds that had fallen to the ground were not cleared away. There were many mature cockleburs among these weeds. After being cut down, they were exposed to the sun for several days, making them easy to fall off. Afu was still small and covered in downy fur. He spent a whole day crawling in the grass, no wonder he was covered in it.

Ah Fu meowed innocently, feeling its whole body tense up, as if it couldn't move its legs.

The children all ran over to see Afu.

The burrs were stuck tightly to the fur. Anfu was afraid that the children would hurt Afu if they helped pull the burrs off, so he quickly put away his tools and ran over, saying, "Don't pull them off, it will hurt."

An Fusheng grabbed Afu and gently pulled off the burrs that weren't stuck too tightly. "The ones that are rolled into the hair can only be cut off with scissors."

An Fusheng carried Afu and led the children to the stilt house. Bai Mangmang asked Lou Lan for a pair of scissors and gave them to An Fusheng. An Fusheng carefully cut off the burrs hidden in the fur.

"Will it hurt?" Fang Wangxi asked.

An Fusheng snipped off a burr that was curled up in the fur, saying, "It won't hurt unless you cut into the flesh."

Fang Wangxi said worriedly, "Then be careful not to cut its flesh."

"good."

Wen Xingmou: "My older brother definitely won't cut his own flesh, he's super skilled."

An Shisi: "That's right!"

Bai Mangmang and Wen Xinglin, who were standing to the side, nodded frantically.

An Fusheng coughed lightly, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

...

Wen Min and Fang's mother came down from the second floor and saw the children gathered in the open space. Curious, they walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Afu was lying sprawled on the ground with his four legs and head held down, and An Fusheng's scissors were pointed at Afu's neck, Wen Min's heart skipped a beat. "Stop! What are you going to do to Afu!"

An Fusheng looked up and said, "Afu has burrs stuck to his body that he can't pull off. He needs to cut them off."

Wen Min glanced at the pile of burrs covered in white hairs on the ground, "..."

Then look at Afu's belly, with patches of hair growing out of place...

How can this cat be shown to people?

Wen Min looked at A Fu with a complicated expression.

Fang's mother wanted to go home, but Fang Wangxi and Fang Wangyue refused, insisting on saving Afu first.

After the burrs on Afu's body were cleaned off, he righteously declared that he wanted to eat at An Shisi's house because An Shisi's family ate bean sprouts for dinner.

An Fusheng, who made bean sprouts yesterday but didn't plan to make any more today: "..."

“If An Shisi’s family doesn’t have your bowls, what will you eat?” Fang’s mother said.

The brother and sister were stunned. That's right, they hadn't brought their bowls. What would they eat?

“That’s right, you don’t have any bowls.” An Shisi then realized that everyone in his family had their own designated bowl, and there were no extra bowls for Fang Wangxi and his sister to eat from.

"But...but I want to eat bean sprouts. I just told the bean sprouts, and they didn't refuse me." Fang Wangxi was very conflicted about the problem.

"Auntie will give you some bean sprouts to take home," Wen Min said. The orphanage didn't lack bowls, but they always ate together at the orphanage. They themselves didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but she was worried that others would mind.

It was already embarrassing to bother them so abruptly, let alone take their bean sprouts. Fang's mother refused, saying, "Don't worry about him, I'll call his grandma to come and pick us up."

She herself is small, and it's difficult for her to handle even one stubborn child, let alone two. But she can get help from others; if the children are disobedient, she can drag them home and give them a beating, and they'll behave.

“The bean sprouts were grown by our kids themselves. They’re clean and have no additives. We grew a lot, and Fuzi said yesterday that we couldn’t finish them all and they were going to grow leaves. It’s okay to take some home,” Wen Min said.

An Fusheng nodded in agreement.

Despite declining several times, Fang's mother eventually bought a bag of bean sprouts to take home.

As Fang Wangxi was being dragged out of the orphanage by her mother, she kept turning back to say, "An Shisi, I will definitely bring a bowl to your house tomorrow."

Okay.
