Chapter 65 Envy

Xiao Wu followed Xixi obediently.

Xiaomu walked in front and opened the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony with a whoosh.

"Cuckoo..." Five chickens swarmed over and surrounded Xiaomu and the others, asking for food.

Xiaomu took the bowl that was usually used to feed the chickens from the table next to him. There was still rice in the bowl and put it on the ground. The chickens all gathered around and pecked at the rice.

"What is this?" Xiao Wu seemed to have seen a domestic animal like a chicken for the first time.

Xiaomu replied: "The chickens we raise at home."

"They can even lay eggs," Xixi said innocently.

Xiaomu pointed to one of the chickens with a red crest and added, "But this one can't lay eggs because it's a male."

"Egg?" Obviously, Xiao Wu didn't know eggs either.

Xixi was very active and immediately went to dig up the chicken coop and picked up an egg from it.

There was chicken shit on the eggs.

"Look, these are the eggs they lay. Mom will use them to make a lot of delicious food."

"That's great," Xiao Wu said enviously, "It's the first time I've seen a chicken and eggs."

Xixi came over, took Xiaowu's hand and said, "Brother Xiaowu, these are yours too. You will live with us from now on."

"Yes, you will live with us from now on." Xiaomu even took Xiaowu to the balcony to look at the fields. He said, "Look, we have planted a lot of things here, including rice, wheat, peanuts, beans, fruits, and vegetables."

Xixi ran to the peach tree and reached out to grab the peaches on the tree. She jumped twice but still couldn't pick any.

She called out in a baby voice, "Brother Xiaowu, come and help me pick it."

After hearing this, Xiao Wu walked over, raised his hand slightly, and picked the peach.

"Here, here you go."

Xixi said, "Brother Xiaowu, this is for you. Come and eat it. This is called peach. It's delicious. Mom doesn't let us eat too much."

"Wash first," Xiaomu walked to the faucet on the balcony and turned on the faucet.

Clean water flowed out.

Xiao Wu looked at the peaches in his hand, the clean water, and the crops on the balcony, and he burst into tears.

The two little kids were stunned and a little at a loss. Did they say something wrong?

"What's wrong?" Ye Li came out of the kitchen. She walked to Xiao Wu, squatted down, reached out and wiped Xiao Wu's tears, and asked, "Do you miss your mother?"

"Well," Xiao Wu choked up, "If mom were here, we could live happily here together, but mom—woooo..."

Xiao Wu was very emotional.

Ye Li hugged Xiao Wu and patted his back gently: "Xiao Wu can be safe and sound, which is my mother's greatest wish. Even if she is gone, as long as Xiao Wu is doing well, she will be happy. So no matter what, we must live happily, understand?"

"Yeah," Xiao Wu nodded heavily.

"Then let's wash your face. Look at you, you've cried like a little kitten." Ye Li took a towel from the shelf beside him and handed it to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu took the towel and walked to the faucet. He turned on the faucet, dipped the towel in water, and washed his face, imitating Xiao Mu's actions.

Xiao Wu cried for a while, then gradually calmed down and played on the balcony with Xiao Mu and Xi Xi. Ye Li felt relieved and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

While making breakfast, Ye Li looked toward the sea through the kitchen window. The fire that had been burning before had gradually died down.

The resettlement site of Qi Yuanchuan's team was completely destroyed by the Taya people.

I wonder if Qi Yuanchuan, Mr. Xu and the others have escaped?

Ye Li didn't dare to reveal his position. It would be disastrous if he was seen by the Taya people.

After breakfast was ready, the three children gathered around the table and devoured it.
