For two consecutive days, the rain kept the people of Dashi Village indoors. Finally, on the third day, the sky cleared up.

Even though it was muddy everywhere, it couldn't stop the farmers from going out to work. After breakfast, the Xu family would all go to the fields.

Only a bunch of little kids were left at home. "Brother, is Sister Man'er still not up?" Xu Wu ran around the yard like crazy and looked at the tightly closed door. It was his uncle and aunt's room, and he didn't dare to go in.

Xu Yi was digging a ditch in the yard with a small hoe. It had rained quite a bit these past two days, and the yard was flooded. "Keep your voice down, don't disturb your sister."

The youngest brother has the loudest voice. While others speak softly, he speaks like a thunderclap.

Xu Wu stared at the door, unwilling to give up. He had just told everyone that he had a little sister at home, but no one believed him. In a fit of anger, he rushed home to take his sister out to show them.

But this little sister sleeps way too much; she's still not awake.

With a creak, the door finally opened, and Xu Wu rushed over. "Little sister, you're awake! I'll take you out to play."

Fu Man'er rubbed her eyes, and when she heard that she was going out to play, she lifted her foot to walk outside.

"Stop!" Xu Yi threw down his hoe and strode over angrily. "Fu Man'er, you're not wearing shoes again!"

"Hmm?" Fu Man'er looked down and saw her two little feet bare on the ground. She had gotten out of bed as soon as she woke up and had forgotten to put on her shoes.

Xu Wu was thinking of going in to get his sister's shoes, but Xu Yi beat him to it. He picked up Fu Man'er with both hands, threw her back onto the bed, and took the shoes from Xu Wu's hands with a dark face, putting them on Fu Man'er.

As soon as Fu Man'er put on her shoes, she started jumping on the ground, her mind set on playing, which only made Xu Yi angrier.

"Are you going to eat or not?" The cool question successfully made Fu Man'er stop in her tracks.

Oh right, I haven't eaten yet.

She got up late, and Liu Fang had kept her breakfast warm in the pot.

Between playing and eating, Fu Man'er chose to eat. She happily walked back to Xu Yi's side, her voice soft and sweet. Xu Wu couldn't wait to take his sister out to show her off.

But my younger sister hasn't eaten yet, and I can't let her go hungry.

Xu Yi brought over a small stool and had Fu Men sit on the threshold. "Eat slowly."

The little girl was clumsy and didn't know how to use chopsticks, so Xu Yi gave her a small spoon. Xu Wu simply sat next to her and watched Fu Man'er eat.

"Mmm!" Fu Man'er ate with great relish, her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster, she was so cute.

Although Xu Wu was young, he heard about his sister's tragic experiences from the adults. Seeing how much his sister enjoyed eating cornmeal, he secretly vowed to make sure his sister could eat better food in the future.

Fu Man'er now eats much faster. After eating half a bowl of corn porridge and a small piece of flatbread, she let out a small burp, put the bowl back in the kitchen, and couldn't wait to tell Xu Wu.

"Fourth Brother, let's go out and play!" She was overjoyed that she could finally go out after the rain these past few days.

"Hey." Xu Wu grinned and pulled the person outside.

Xu Yi only went to put down a hoe, but he turned around and ran out. Worried about Fu Man'er, he gritted his teeth and chased after her.

"My sister's here! My sister's here!" Xu Wu shouted as he ran.

A group of children were gathered not far away. Hearing his shout, they all turned around. Xu Mao and Xu Wen were very excited, pointing at the small figure and saying, "Look, that's my sister. You'll see how beautiful she is when you see her."

Everyone was very curious. They said they didn't believe it, but Fu Man'er's short legs couldn't run fast, so the crowd couldn't hold back and went to meet her.

This was the first time Fu Man'er had seen so many children her age, about ten of them. Her four older brothers were already fun enough, but with so many people around, wouldn't it be even more fun?

"How about it? Isn't my sister pretty?" The Xu brothers raised their heads, looking quite smug. Although Fu Man'er was young, she was dressed neatly and cleanly, much more pleasing to the eye than their other sisters.

Although these children are not very mature, they already have a basic understanding of beauty and ugliness. The younger sister of the Xu family is indeed beautiful, with bright and sparkling eyes, but...

"Haha, your sister is wearing boys' pants. Look at my sister, she's wearing a skirt, she looks so pretty!" It was Zhang Erdan who spoke, and he pulled his sister Zhang Erniu over.

The little girl, still blowing bubbles from her nose, looked Fu Man'er up and down. "Hmph, she doesn't even have a dress, how is she pretty? She's ugly."

Today she was wearing a dress that her mother had bought from the market. The chubby little girl with dark skin was wearing a bright red dress, and it was so eye-catching that it made my eyes water.

She was dressed to be admired, but now they've pulled out a skinny girl dressed in drab clothes; she's nowhere near as pretty as her.

The other girls chimed in, the Wang family girls were quite stubborn, and they were used to agreeing with what she said.

Seeing that someone had defected, Xu Wen was displeased. Despite having "Wen" in his name, he was by no means weak; on the contrary, he was strong and powerful, standing with his hands on his hips and thrusting forward.

"So what if you don't have a dress? My sister looks good without one, unlike you, you don't look good in a dress."

In his eyes, none of these children could compare to his sister; his sister was the prettiest.

Wang Erdan chimed in, not to defend his sister, but simply because he couldn't stand Xu Wen's behavior. "Your Xu family is all boys, where did this sister come from? You're lying."

"Only a liar would do that, you ask!" Xu Wu retorted defiantly, "Man'er, tell me, aren't you our sister?"

"It's my little sister." Fu Man'er nodded, took two small steps forward, and stood with her brothers, sharing their hatred for the enemy, raising her little head and looking at them fearlessly.

When Xu Yi arrived, he saw this group of little kids standing in a row.

"Big brother!" Xu Mao, as if seeing a savior, pulled Xu Yi over. "Big brother, do you think Man'er is prettier or Wang Erniu?"

Xu Yi approached, and Wang Erdan, who had been so aggressive, couldn't help but take a few steps back, afraid of Xu Yi.

That's a good question, and everyone is staring at him intently.

Fu Man'er ran straight to his side, "Brother, am I pretty?"

"What does this little brat know about good or bad looks? What kind of stupid questions are these?" Xu Yi rolled his eyes, picked up the little girl, and left.

"Hey, big brother, you haven't said who's good-looking yet!" Xu Mao called out from behind.

"Although my older brother didn't say it, he's shown through his actions that my younger sister is prettier." Xu Wu saw that his older brother wasn't heading home, so he quickly followed.

The Xu brothers glanced at the Wang siblings, their expressions conveying a clear message.

"Brother, they say I'm not pretty." Wang Erniu stomped her feet hard, huffing and puffing like a little bull.

Wang Erdan pursed his lips. He also thought his sister wasn't pretty, but he hadn't said it out loud just now for fear of losing face.
