Toad?

People from the north said they couldn't understand it.

"Little brother, what is a toad?"

The little guy immediately grunted, "How come you guys don't even know what a toad is? It's a toad!" His tone was so smug.

When it comes to toads, our friends in the north will immediately understand:

"Um...that thing is really scary, especially the outer skin. I always stay far away when I see it."

After that child finished speaking, the other children all looked on in agreement.

Children are probably terrified of these scary-looking things!

Just then, a person walked out of the small Western-style building.

The little one hurriedly grabbed Ye Wanying's hand, calling out to her, "Grandma Bao, Grandma Bao, my mommy's here! Look, isn't my mommy the prettiest!"

Oh.

It seems this silly boy has quite a few times humiliated his mother in front of this Grandma Bao.

Ye Wanying heard her son call her Grandma Bao, so when the woman walked up to her, she politely greeted her: "Aunt Bao, thank you for taking care of our Tuanzi these past few days."

"Xiao Ye, right? I've heard the commander mention him many times, and I've heard this little guy talk about him countless times. Today I finally get to meet him in person," Grandma Bao said happily.

Before Ye Wanying could even respond, the little figure at her feet spoke up first: "Yes, yes, that's my mom."

Forehead....

Ye Wanying rubbed her forehead, then pulled the lively little figure in front of her, gently covered the little figure's mouth with one hand, and began to answer Grandma Bao's question:

"Yes, I am Xiao Ye."

"Come in quickly, don't stand outside. It's almost lunchtime, so we can have a simple meal together."

Grandma Bao extended a warm invitation, and Ye Wanying couldn't refuse, since they had been taking care of the little dumpling all this time.

Upon hearing Grandma Bao's words, Tuanzi, whose hand was already covering the little boy's mouth, struggled free and said, "Mommy, Mommy, come in quickly! Grandma Bao's cooking is so delicious, Tuanzi can eat two big bowls!"

Pfft, are you sure you're serious?

Two big bowls, how can your little belly hold them all?

Unable to hold back any longer, Ye Wanying chuckled, clearly not quite believing it.

The little one immediately panicked after realizing what was happening, jumping up and down and repeating, "Mommy, what they said is true! If you don't believe me, ask Grandma Bao!" Then he looked at Grandma Bao, who was smiling broadly, and asked, "Grandma, Grandma, Tuanzi didn't lie, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what Tuanzi said is true, truer than pearls! Let's go in, the commander and the others should be back soon."

.........

Once inside, Ye Wanying was pulled to sit on the living room sofa by her son. The old-fashioned, oversized television was playing the cartoons the little boy liked, which was clearly out of place with the room's decor.

With its austere military-style decor, the TV should be playing the news and military channels on a loop.

They're showing cartoons now!

Grandma Bao had just learned from the little boy that his father and an uncle were reporting to the leader in his office, so she immediately went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Fortunately, the refrigerator at home is always full of various vegetables, meats, and local specialties, so it's not too troublesome. For example, beef can be taken out and cooked, and then it can be stir-fried or made into a cold dish.
