It is children's nature to like playing with water and fire. Seeing many children playing in the shallow water, how could Yang Xiaoxiao not be panicked?

"Okay, you can take off your shoes and play in the water, but you have to follow Sister Chunni and don't run around by yourself."

Yang Baiyi looked at the water surface and found that there was indeed no danger, so he readily agreed to his sister's request.

"Well, I will definitely follow Sister Chunni and won't run around."

While making the promise, the little girl deftly took off her little leather shoes and white socks.

"Let's take off our shoes and go down."

Yang Baiyi looked at Lin Wanru who was eager to try, and took the initiative to suggest while holding back his smile.

"Great! I'm a little worried about two little kids going in the water alone."

Lin Wanru gave herself a reason and quickly took off her shoes and socks.

Chunni took off her somewhat worn cloth shoes and put them together with three pairs of brand new leather shoes. She still had a smile on her face, without the slightest sign of inferiority.

Chunni has the love of her parents and the affection of her brother, so she doesn't feel that she is inferior to others in any way.

Yang Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt, waded in the water with her pink little feet, and had a bright smile on her face.

Chunni followed Yang Xiaoxiao closely, watching her and preventing her from going into the deep water.

The water surface shimmers, with water birds flying by from time to time. The sunlight shines on the water, making it sparkle, and the excited laughter of children can be heard in my ears.

Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru felt that they had never been so relaxed before, and their hands were unconsciously held together.

"When the policy is relaxed and you don't need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, I will take you to the beach."

Yang Baiyi envisions a bright future.

"It's already very good here. I don't know when the day you mentioned will come."

In this era, there was no concept of travel and everyone was easily satisfied.

"Brother, Wanru sister, look, sister Chunni said this is the snail, I found it."

The little girl ran towards the two of them, not caring at all that her skirt got wet.

"Wow! Xiaoxiao is so great! Find some more and see if we can make a plate of spicy snails for lunch."

Lin Wanru quickly let go of Yang Baiyi's big hand and rubbed the little girl's head.

"Okay! I'll go look for it. You guys can continue holding hands."

The little girl saw everything the two did clearly, thinking that her elder sister would definitely be her sister-in-law in the future, so there was nothing wrong with holding hands.

She's good in every way except that she gets shy easily.

The small snails were new to Yang Xiaoxiao, so the little girl was very motivated and put the snails that she and Chunni had found next to her shoes.

I run back and forth again and again and don’t feel tired at all.

Happy times always pass quickly, and before we knew it, it was already ten o'clock.

"Xiaoxiao, Chunni, it's ten o'clock. We should go back to eat."

I have to catch a train in the afternoon, so I can't be late.

"Brother, is it already ten o'clock? But I feel like we just played for a while!"

The little girl said in surprise.

"That's because you were too engrossed in the game. Look at your little feet, aren't they all wrinkled?"

Yang Baiyi came to his sister and picked her up from the water.

When he came to the shoes, Yang Baiyi squatted down, let his sister sit on his lap, took out a brand new towel from his bag, and wiped his sister's little feet dry.

"Just hold her like this and don't move. I'll put socks and shoes on her."

Lin Wanru came over again and helped the little girl put on her shoes and socks.

"Chun Ni, don't put on your shoes directly, wipe your feet clean."

Yang Baiyi saw that Chunni had already put on her cloth shoes.

"Big brother, no need, I'm wearing cloth shoes, they'll dry quickly."

Chunni looked at the brand new towel, which was even cleaner than the face towel they used at home.

It is the freedom for the older brother to give it to Xiaoxiao, but Chunni is reluctant to use it no matter what.

"No, the sand will rub your feet. There's a big rock over there. Sit on it and dry your feet before putting on your shoes."

Looking at Yang Baiyi's expression that refused to be refused, Chunni didn't have the courage to argue and could only take the towel to wipe her feet.

"Xiaoxiao, stand here and don't run around. Your sister Wanru and I will go wipe their feet."

Yang Baiyi took out another towel from his bag.

This is why Yang Baiyi carries a shoulder bag all year round. To get things from the space, he always needs a cover.

"Big brother, I'll return this towel to you after I wash it."

Chunni clutched the towel tightly, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"No need to return it to us. This towel is for you. I work in a towel factory, and this is a free benefit."

Afraid that the little girl would not accept it, Yang Baiyi made up a lie.

It's not that he is blindly generous, nor is it that he is blindly picky. Yang Baiyi will never use a towel that has been used to wipe someone else's feet.

Instead of throwing it away, it’s better to give it to this sensible little girl.

"Brother, how are we going to get these snails back?"

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of snails with worry.

"There are three buns left, Chunni. Eat them. The brown paper bag is perfect for storing snails."

Yang Baiyi mentally praised his cleverness. What a great excuse! Not only did it allow Chunni to eat buns, but he also had a bag for snails.

"Big brother, here are three buns, just one for each of you three, eat them yourselves.

I'm not hungry yet, and I can go back for lunch soon."

For Chunni, three meals a day is the greatest happiness. She used to only be able to eat two meals a day!

"You said we're going to have lunch soon. We came here to eat wild fish from the reservoir. If we each eat one bun now, how are we going to eat fish later?"

Chunni couldn't refute Yang Baiyi's words and could only take the buns.

City people are city people. They would rather give up three big meat buns and take the snails back home for a bunch of worthless and useless snails.

But what the elder brother said was really interesting. He talked about wild fish in the reservoir. Are there any domesticated fish as well?

When the four of them returned home, Zhang Shuisheng and Zhang Chunsheng were already cleaning fish in the yard, while Zhang Yongxian was squatting in the yard smoking his pipe.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

It is a tradition in China since ancient times for children to call their parents "Daddy" when they enter the house.

"Chun Ni, where did you get the towel and buns in your hand?" Wang Zhimin asked with a frown.

"Auntie, I gave it to her. I didn't finish the buns I bought this morning, and she refused to take them even after I gave them to her several times.

These were the snails she had picked up but had nothing to put them in, so she had to use this brown paper bag. Chunni had no choice but to accept the three buns.

Chunni has been taking good care of my sister all morning. Auntie, you have educated Chunni so well."

Without waiting for Chunni to answer, Yang Baiyi quickly took over the conversation, and his words were full of praise for Chunni.

I gave Chunni the buns because I felt sorry for her. If I let the little girl get beaten for it, wouldn't that be a case of good intentions leading to bad results?
