Xiaoman: "What calamity? Can it be averted?"

Old Shang: "Yes. Tell your father-in-law not to leave the village this month."

"Okay. I'll take care of it right away."

"Um."

On the other side, with the help of her younger brother and Xiao Hei, the older sister took two steps forward and then reached out her hand to Zuo Zuo: "Third brother, hug me."

Zuo Zuo shook her head: "You're too fat, Third Brother can't carry you."

The older sister pointed to Youyou and said, "Fourth Brother." This meant that the third and fourth brothers would pick her up together.

Youyou: "No. Mother let you out here so you could walk."

Sister: "Mother isn't here."

Youyou came over and grabbed her sister's other hand: "That won't do either. Come on, let your fourth brother hold your hand."

The older sister didn't want to leave, so Xiao Hei kicked her bottom again from behind.

The older sister had no choice but to follow her older and younger brothers into the grove. Little Black followed them in as well.

Zhang Jun laughed so hard: "If my daughter were like that, my wife would be worried to death. Let's go, let's go for a walk somewhere else. It should be fine here. I don't see the other kids going near that horse."

Cui Hao: "Hmm. I think that horse seems to understand human nature."

Cui Zhi: "I think so too."

They had only taken a few steps when the school bell rang. A moment later, Zuo Zuo ran out of the grove. He had only run a little over a hundred meters when Nao Nao and Tengteng led a group of children over.

Nao Nao: "Third brother, I just heard Xiao Hei calling from behind."

Zuo Zuo: "Hmm. Xiao Hei brought his sister over. I was just about to go and call you."

Tengteng: "Mom definitely wants my little sister to move around more. Come on, let's go play with her."

Nao Nao and Zuo Zuo: "Mm."

The three brothers led a group of children and ran past Zhang Jun, Cui Zhi, and Cui Hao.

Cui Hao: "This couple is amazing; they had two sets of twins."

Cui Zhi: "That chubby girl is quite lucky, she has four older brothers and one younger brother. The kids in this military region definitely wouldn't dare to bully her. No, I have to talk to my nephew when I get back. No one should mess with this chubby girl."

Zhang Jun: "The chubby girl and the little boy from earlier should also be twins, one chubby and one thin, one boy and one girl, so they don't look alike."

Cui Hao: "It really is. Whose house is this? It's so impressive?"

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "This family must be quite famous in the military region."

Cui Zhi: "Definitely. With three sets of twins in one family, it's hard not to become famous."

My older sister spent the whole morning in the grove. Nao Nao and Tengteng came to pick her up after school. When they arrived, she was resting on a rock.

As soon as her older sister saw them, she asked them to hold her. Nao Nao asked Zuo Zuo and, knowing that her older sister had been active for quite a while that morning, picked her up and said, "Let's go home."

The older sister immediately hugged Nao Nao's neck. "Okay."

Tengteng looked at his younger brother and said, "Come here, let your older brother hug you."

Younger brother: "No."

Tengteng pinched his sister's nose: "Look, the little brother won't let anyone hold him."

The older sister buried her face in Nao Nao's neck: "Let's go home."

After walking for a while, Tengteng took his sister from him.

Han Bin saw Xiao Hei and the children in the distance: "Nao Nao, Tengteng."

Nao Nao and Tengteng stopped when they heard this.

Han Bin hurried a few steps to catch up: "Come on, let Daddy hug you."

“Okay.” Nao Nao handed her sister over to Han Bin.

Han Bin put his sister on his shoulder: "Hold on tight."

"Um."

Zhang Jun, Cui Zhi, and Cui Hao were also preparing to go home for dinner. As they approached the family quarters, they saw a chubby girl sitting on Han Bin's shoulders, accompanied by five boys and a horse.

Han Bin was the youngest brigade commander in the military region, so Zhang Jun had a particularly deep impression of him. "Brigade Commander Han, is this your son?"

"Okay." Han Bin looked at the children. "Call him Uncle Zhang."

Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, older sister, younger brother: "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Hello." Zhang Jun looked at the little girl on Han Bin's shoulder: "Your daughter is quite smart. I saw that she didn't want to walk and kept pestering Xiao Hei to carry her, so I offered to carry her, but she wouldn't let me."

"Yeah?"

"Um."

Han Bin looked at Cui Zhi and Cui Hao: "Who are these two?"

"Oh, this is..." Zhang Jun introduced the three people. After the introductions, Han Bin had the children greet Cui Zhi and Cui Hao.

The four chatted for a while and then parted ways.

After parting ways with Han Bin, Cui Hao asked Zhang Jun, "Is he the brigade commander?"

"Yes. Don't let his youth fool you, he not only has military merits, but he also attended a military academy."

Cui Zhi: "So amazing, no wonder you gave birth to three sets of twins."

Cui Hao: "That chubby girl is really lucky to have been born into the right family."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "That chubby girl is quite nice. She's a bit lazy, but as soon as her father tells her to greet us, she does. She's neither shy nor lazy."

Cui Zhi: "Yes. Like father, like son. Her father is so capable, she can't be any less so."

On the other side, when they were still more than 200 meters from home, Han Bin lifted his sister off his shoulders. "We're almost home, walk by yourself."

The older sister didn't want to leave, so she clung to Han Bin's leg and acted coquettishly.

Han Bin pinched his sister's little nose: "Being cute won't work. Your mother is the boss in our family. Be good, walk by yourself."

The older sister rubbed against Han Bin's leg: "No, hug. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

Han Bin pulled his sister off his lap: "Calling me 'Dad' won't help. If your mother sees Dad holding you, both you and I will get scolded. Little brother, come here and hold your sister's hand. Dad, the brothers, and Xiao Hei are going back first. You two can come back slowly."

“Okay.” The younger brother came over and took his older sister’s hand: “Sister, let’s go home and have dinner.”

The older sister didn't want to leave, but... in the blink of an eye, her father, her four older brothers, and Little Black all went home. Only she and her younger brother were left outside.

The older sister looked at her younger brother's height and then at her own.

Younger brother: "Sister, time to eat."

The older sister glanced at the house in the distance, then patted her stomach and stamped her foot: "Let's go! Home! Time to eat!"

After Han Bin and his group went back, they hid behind the door and peeked out. When they saw their sister walking home, they all laughed.

After a while, the older sister and younger brother returned.

Xiaoman rubbed her forehead, really not wanting to admit that this chubby girl was her own child.

Seeing Xiaoman looking worried, Han Bin told her what Zhang Jun had told him: "Don't let our daughter's laziness fool you, she's very clever. Look, she won't even let strangers hug her. Also, look, when we left her and her brother outside, she brought her brother back without saying a word."

Xiaoman felt a little better after hearing this. "Uncle Shang said that Dad will face a calamity in a few days. I asked him if there was any way to avert it, and he said that Dad will be fine as long as he doesn't leave the village this month. I sent a telegram home this morning. You should also write a letter home."

"Okay. Did Uncle Shang mention that Father is facing some kind of calamity?"

"Uncle Shang doesn't know the specifics either. He said that as long as Dad doesn't leave the village this month, he can escape this calamity."

“Then I’ll go write a letter to Father now.”

"Um."

After Han Bin finished writing the letter, Xiao Man and Uncle Guo brought the food to the table.

After Nao Nao and Tengteng set out the bowls and chopsticks, Han Bin served everyone rice into bowls.

The older sister looked at the food in front of her and then at the others. Except for Xiaoman and her younger brother, everyone else buried their faces in their bowls.

Xiaoman raised an eyebrow at her older sister.
