Seeing Shen Jianian's ears turn red, he was so embarrassed and nervous that his hands holding the comic book seemed to be shaking. Fu Bao blinked and looked at him, "Brother, are you really going to give this to me?"

Shen Jianian came back to his senses and looked at Fubao's fair and tender face. He nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

Fubao looked at the cover and saw it was "Journey to the West". He liked it very much.

Journey to the West tells the story of the Monkey King, Marshal Tianpeng, General Pulling Curtain, and Little White Dragon who followed Tang Sanzang on a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. When she was in heaven, she loved listening to their stories!

Fu Bao was not shy at all. He stretched out his chubby little hand and took the book. He smiled sweetly at Shen Jianian and said, "Thank you, brother. I like it very much!"

Hearing her say that she liked him, Shen Jianian breathed a sigh of relief, then the corners of his mouth twitched and he started to smile.

In order to express their gratitude to Fubao, before the Shen family left, the village chief took out all the dried fish and meat from the sun in his home, weighing as much as twenty or thirty kilograms, and also a large red envelope. He insisted that the Shen family accept it, otherwise he would not let them leave.

The Shen family has always been honest and never asked for anything from others. They are not used to receiving so many things at once.

Finally, Fubao said to Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, we should accept it. If we don't, we won't be able to go home. Besides, the village chief will always feel bad about it. He will invite us to dinner every day. It will be so troublesome."

The village chief laughed and said, "Yes, Fubao is right. If you don't accept them, I will feel uneasy. If you don't want these things, you can come to our house for dinner every day!"

The Shen family thought together: How can that be? It feels like they are eating and drinking for free, which is not their style. Life must be created by one's own labor, how can they take advantage of others?

The Shen family had no choice but to accept the gifts from the village chief and his family. On the way back, they met many villagers who were returning late. Seeing them holding so many gifts, they were all envious.

Hey, why do I feel like the Shen family is about to get better?

It was almost dark now, and the night sky was like splashed ink, with countless stars twinkling.

When he returned home, Fubao saw the girl from the next door who was wandering outside the yard. That was Guan Xiaorui, who was six years old.

She was wearing a loose old skirt that had been washed white, which made her look even thinner, and her shoes were just a pair of plastic slippers. Although she was a year older than him, she looked shorter than him.

Guan Xiaorui was carrying a two-year-old boy on her back, pacing back and forth, humming a song, trying to coax him to sleep.

When Fubao saw her, she turned her head and met Fubao's eyes.

Seeing her riding on Shen Jianlin's shoulders, wearing a beautiful floral dress and new sandals, she looked like a little princess. Guan Xiaorui was so envious.

Although his family was small and his life was not as tight as the Shen family's, he lived much worse than Fubao.

She is a hard worker at home. No one pampers her, but it's good enough if she is not beaten or scolded.

Therefore, Guan Xiaorui really envied Fubao and always thought, it would be nice if she was a girl from the Shen family.

Guan Xiaorui's face was still red and swollen, needless to say, it was clear that she had been beaten again.

Old Mrs. Shen sighed and thought that the child was so unlucky to have such parents. He must suffer so much!

Fubao thought for a moment and said to Shen Jianlin, "Dad, put me down first."
