"Waaaaah, brother—"

"It, it, it..."

The sad, childlike voice stopped completely when Chaochao saw the hen being held in the other hand.

At this moment, Jiang Chi held a chicken in his left hand and a pheasant in his right.

The unruly chicken, its wings bound by Jiang Chi, remained motionless, resigned to its fate. When it saw the child looking over, it raised its foot as a greeting.

Every morning, her pupils trembled.

"Waaaaah—"

The little dumpling plunged into Jiang Chi's arms like a cannonball, and sorrow flowed like a river.

Netizens felt sorry for Chaochao's situation, but also burst into laughter.

[Help! This is so dramatic!]

I've been laughing since I was watching the chicken, hahaha (pauses for breath) hahahahaha...

I'm afraid I have that big ice; the louder Chaochao cries, the happier I laugh.

[Just how big is Chaochao's psychological trauma? lol]

"Is Chaochao alright?" Hao Guoli asked with a worried expression.

Oh dear, such a small kick, yet it caused such great psychological damage.

Jiang Chi patted Chaochao's back reassuringly with his right hand, but the little dumpling was still shed tears in a muffled voice.

Lei Bao has completed the task. Just now, a chicken was startled and flew away, and at the same time, it was so frightened that it laid an egg.

It's a bit of a mouthful, but that's just how it happened.

Hao Guoli said, "Chaochao, don't cry. Once we catch the chicken, Uncle will cook you a big meal tonight."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Chaochao, who felt ashamed and unwilling to see anyone, raised her head with red eyes.

Seeing that it had worked, Hao Guoli laughed heartily: "Of course, my specialty is braised chicken!"

Chaochao couldn't help but swallow hard. "Thank you, Lei Bao's dad... Well, my brother will cook something delicious for everyone too!"

The little dumpling generously made a promise and sold her brother.

Jiang Chi: ...Don't even think about it, he won't.

Lei Bao also said, "Chao Chao, how about I go with you to get the eggs?"

Chaochao's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded like a little chick: "Okay, okay."

Regaining her composure, Chaochao waved to Jiang Chi and said with an air of confidence, "Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'm fine."

Then, in a menacing manner, he walked back to the chicken coop.

If she could do it all over again, she would definitely take back everything she had lost!

When I got to the chicken coop and saw the dark shadow, I still chickened out, which was a shame.

Big brother Lei Bao wanted to reach out and help Chao Chao take it, but Chao Chao suddenly had an idea.

She ran off to pick up the straw hat that had fallen to the ground, and then shoved it behind the straw mat in one go.

The fairly sturdy straw hat successfully blocked the hen's sharp beak attack, but Chaochao's little hands were shaken and went numb, her chubby baby hands trembling.

Lei Bao seized the opportunity and picked up the eggs.

"Give."

"Yay! I got it! Thank you, Brother Leibao!" The little dumpling hugged the egg and shook his head excitedly.

Lei Bao felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't done much work; it was Chao Chao who came up with the idea. "Chao Chao, you're very smart."

clever?

Chaochao tilted her head, then affirmed his statement: "That's right! Chaochao is very smart! My dad is super smart!"

Of course she's just like her dad!

Chaochao felt that her logic was flawless.

Having figured out the method, Jiang Chi successfully caught another chicken.

After they left the chicken coop, Chaochao carefully protected the egg in her hand and gave it a new name, Xiaomei.

While Chaochao was chatting away with Xiaomei, she suddenly asked Jiang Chi, "Brother, will this egg hatch into a chick?"

Jiang Chi ruthlessly shattered the child's fantasy: "No, there was no fertilization."

What is fertilization?

"...but the chicks just won't hatch."

Chaochao: "What if?"

Jiang Chi: "..."

He was wrong; he shouldn't have explained so much to a stubborn child.

One by one, my companions finished their missions and came out.

In particular, the adults who caught chickens went in with some semblance of dignity, but came out covered in dust and dirt.

Peng Peng immediately noticed Jiang Chi's impeccably clean appearance, which stood out from the crowd, and exclaimed in amazement.

Young people, you're really something.

Of course, he still has to be handsome.

Looking down, you can see Chaochao, whom he is holding hands with, standing out awkwardly among the children.

They shine brightly in their respective fields.

Peng Peng: "..."

How did these brother and sister manage to go to such extremes?

Teng Yi and Leo haven't returned yet because one of the chickens flew up and pooped on his head while he was catching chickens. It was a real "poop-in-the-sky" situation. Now he hastily borrowed Lei Bao's bathroom to take a shower.

Just as Chaochao was singing nursery rhymes to Xiaomei as part of her prenatal education, the last little one, Changchang, followed his father out of the chicken coop, sobbing.
