Before the newly purchased house is renovated, Duan Yingying's mother and younger sister will still have to live in their own home.

Xiao Yunying thought she would go over and give the young girl a heads-up later, telling her to tell Sister Cheng Yue before making the transaction, and preferably to have Sister Cheng Yue investigate the reason for the sale of the house, so as not to be cheated.

And what about Sister Cheng Yue? I wonder how Liu Dalei's pursuit of her is going...

Just as she was lost in thought, Zheng Yunwan called out from the courtyard, "Sister Yunying, come out here quickly, that eagle with bad eyesight is here again."

Xiao Yunying hurriedly got up and went to the courtyard. When she looked up, she saw that the eagle was circling incessantly above the courtyard, but it wouldn't land.

Having probably recognized the person she was looking for, it glided down rapidly and approached, startling Zheng Yunwan, who stood in front of Xiao Yunying and kept backing away.

"Sister Yunying, quickly hide!"

Xiao Yunying also panicked for a moment. This eagle is a bird of prey with hard and sharp claws. Being scratched by it is no joke.

Just as she was about to dodge, the eagle descended very close. She spotted something in its talons, but she was nearsighted and couldn't see what it was.

But since the eagle is holding something in its talons, does that mean it won't land...?

She didn't dare gamble on that possibility, so she retreated while keeping an eye on the direction the eagle came from, ready to dodge if she sensed anything amiss.

She was right.

When the eagle was very close to her, it released its claws, and a bamboo tube drew a slight arc, landing precisely on Xiao Yunying's head with a "thud".

Xiao Yunying was stunned for a moment by the impact, and when she looked up again, the eagle had already flown far away.

Zheng Yunwan stared at her with wide eyes, finding Xiao Yunying's bewildered expression extremely cute, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiao Yunying raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead with her knuckles: "What are you laughing at? In the future, you're not allowed to block my way in dangerous situations, you hear me? What if you get hurt?"

Zheng Yunwan didn't respond, but just gently rubbed her forehead and smiled without saying a word.

After Xiao Yunying finished speaking, she squatted down and picked up the bamboo tube: "Who said this eagle has bad eyesight? Its eyesight is excellent, and its aim is so accurate."

Even from several meters away, he can still throw so accurately.

The main thing is that it can still recognize which woman is itself, and only throws things when it sees itself. I don't know how Luo Sheng trained it; it's so smart.

As for why the eagle grabbed me and threw me down instead of tying me to its talons, it's probably because they were worried I wouldn't dare get close to it, or that I might get hurt.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunying couldn't help but smile and open the bamboo tube.

Zheng Yunwan glanced at the bamboo tube, her smile fading slightly: "Sister Yunying, go back inside and read the letter. It's cold outside."

Xiao Yunying looked at the note without looking up: "Okay, you should go inside too."

She went back to her room, sat down, and carefully read the contents of the letter.

The letter contained little information; the first half was written in Luo Sheng's handwriting, saying that once the letter reached him, they would be home the next day or the day after.

"Are they coming back?"

The handwriting below is a bit childish, saying that they want to eat peanut-filled glutinous rice balls, followed by a long list of dishes. You can tell at a glance who wrote it.

"What a glutton."

Xiao Yunying looked inside the bamboo tube, made sure there was nothing else, put the things aside, bolted the door, and went into the supermarket to look around for food to prepare for the children.

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Yunying brought a bowl of peanuts to the living room to shell them, so she could make filling for glutinous rice balls.

After playing for a while, Luo Xin pulled Duan Xiaoxiao over to wash her hands and peel the peanuts, asking curiously, "Mom, what delicious treats are you going to make for us with these peanuts?"

"Your gluttonous third brother specifically asked for peanut-filled glutinous rice balls."

"My third brother?" Luo Xin put a peanut into the bowl before she realized, "My brothers are coming back?"

"Yes, I should be home today or tomorrow."

"Ah, my brothers are finally back! Xin'er missed them so much."

Xiao Yunying was equally happy, though not as outgoing as Luo Xin: "Xin'er, is there anything you want to eat? Mother will make it for you."

Luo Xin shook her head: "I like everything that Mother makes. Make what my brothers want to eat first. They've been away from Mother for so long, and my third brother must be craving it."

Xiao Yunying was once again impressed by how sensible this little girl, who was only five years old this year, was.

“Xin’er can tell Mom what she wants to eat, and we can make it together without delaying anything.”

Luo Xin nodded seriously: "Okay, tell Mom what you're craving when you want it."

Xiao Yunying didn't mean to force Luo Xin to say what she wanted to eat; she just didn't want the little girl to feel that she was paying too much attention to the three brothers and neglecting her.

After they leisurely finished peeling a bowl of peanuts, Xiao Yunying took the bowl to stir-fry them until they were cooked and cooled, to be used as filling for glutinous rice balls later.

As she was wiping the water off her hands with a cloth, she heard Luo Xin's voice coming from the courtyard: "Mother, someone is knocking on the door. Is it my brothers coming back?"

She and Zheng Yunwan arrived at the courtyard at the same time. Xiao Yunying said to her, "I'll go, you go about your business."

Zheng Yunwan went back to her room to continue sewing clothes.

Xiao Yunying walked to the door, wondering if the Luo family had returned, and pulled the door latch with anticipation.

But when I saw that there were several strangers standing outside the door, I felt a sudden and indescribable sense of loss.

Out of politeness, she asked kindly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The person knocking on the door was a maid. Behind her stood a young woman who looked to be about thirty-four or thirty-five years old. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she was probably the lady of some powerful family. She was also accompanied by a nanny.

The maid's tone was polite enough, but one could tell there was little respect in it: "Is this General Luo's home?"
