After finishing their run and taking the children back, Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyue prepared breakfast in the kitchen.

"Mom and Dad, Little Nian is back! When are we going to see our new little sister?" Little Nian asked, thinking of Xia Xiaoli's newborn sister.

Shen Qiaoyue held a bowl of freshly baked Lu Huoshao (a type of baked flatbread) and ate one in her hand.

"You'll see her soon. After breakfast, we'll take you to play with your little sister Zaozao," Shen Qiaoyue replied to Xiaonian.

"Where is my new sister? I want to see her right now!" Xiao Nian asked again.

"Xiao Nian, your new little sister has a name, her nickname is Zao Zao, you must remember it." Shen Qiaoyue told Xiao Nian to call out the name.

Xiao Nian scratched his head, listening to his mother introduce his younger sister's name, and repeated, "Zao Zao, little sister!"

“Yes, call her Zaozao sister. Next time you should call her Zaozao sister. You can’t always call her Xin sister, understand?” Shen Qiaoyue corrected Xiao Nian.

"Oh, I know!" Xiao Nian looked up at her mother and replied.

"Oh dear!" Shen Qiaoyue saw that Xiao Nian's hands were covered in oil and touched her head. Her hair was all oily. She put down the food and said to Lu Chen in the kitchen, "Lu Chen, your daughter has put oil on her forehead. Quickly prepare hot water and wipe it with a towel."

"Coming." Lu Chen was ladling out porridge when he heard Shen Qiaoyue's call. He quickly put the porridge aside and replied, "I'll be right there."

At this moment, Jiang Mingjing returned, holding Da Nian's hand.

"We're back!" Jiang Mingjing went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables on the way back and chatted with some old comrades for a while. He couldn't wait to come back to see his parents before the New Year.

"Dad, Da Nian, wash your hands and have breakfast." Shen Qiaoyue pulled Xiao Nian aside while responding to Jiang Mingjing.

At this moment, Lu Chen brought out hot water, and the couple wiped Xiao Nian's head.
