Upon hearing He Jun's words, the Qi brothers, Nianping and Nianan, immediately turned their gazes to Shen Fenghua, their eyes filled with pleading. Even He Dongdong couldn't help but silently tug at Shen Fenghua's sleeve, "Godmother~"
Shen Fenghua: "..."
Okay, okay, let's climb, climb, climb.
At Shen Fenghua's command, Qi Nianping nimbly leaped up like a monkey.
Once up in the tree, Qi Nianping touched the bird's nest and counted one, two, three, four, five.
Aunt He was downstairs, dumbfounded. "No, this really is the nest. No birds have ever laid eggs here before."
For these old farmers, they can usually tell with a glance whether a bird's nest has birds or eggs, and they can usually tell pretty much with a high degree of accuracy. This child…
Aunt He couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. "Speaking of which, how did you know there were eggs in here?"

Shen Fenghua felt a pang of jealousy. She ruffled Qi Nian'an's hair and bent down slightly. "Okay, Auntie is waiting for you and your brother's elm seeds."
Qi Nianping, holding up the bird eggs, made a dazzling entrance like a victorious general.
"Bird eggs! You can have them all!"

Shen Fenghua suddenly couldn't bear to think about what kind of life these two children had lived before.
My heart aches terribly.
