Qiao Anle quickened his pace and walked very fast.
When she arrived at Aunt Li's house.
There were no other children in the huge yard, only their three children, who were holding onto the fence, standing on tiptoe, and looking around.
Even the wooden horse, which is usually hard to get, was abandoned alone in the middle of the yard because no one was playing with it.
Qiao Anle saw this scene from afar and couldn't help feeling sad.
She smiled and waved high.
"Big one, second one, third one, mother is here to pick you up."
When the three cubs heard Qiao Anle's voice, they were so happy that they almost jumped up from their seats.
"Mom is here!"
"We can go home now!"
"Mom is here to pick us up—"
One after another, they ran to the gate like the wind and ran out with a clatter.
When Qiao Anle got closer, he squatted down and opened his arms.
Just like a hen spreading her wings, she hugged all three cubs together.
"My little ones have been waiting for you for a long time. We are going home now. There is food waiting for you at home!"
Qiao Anle touched their little heads, kissed their foreheads, and gently comforted the three little cubs.
Aunt Li also came out when she heard the noise.
When she saw Qiao Anle, she smiled with relief.
"Finally you're here! They've been waiting for you for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, I asked them to come inside and have dinner at my house. But the little ones refused to agree, saying that you promised to pick them up."
"Aunt Li, I'm sorry to bother you again today."
"It's not a big deal, it's what I deserve. Captain Li arranged such a good job for me, I can't thank him enough."
Having said that.
But Qiao Anle still prepared some things.
She said, "Li Fengbei and I went to the county town today. Here's a pound of flour and some fruit candies. Take them."
"How can I take your things? No, no, I can't take them."
Aunt Li refused again and again.
Qiao Anle still stuffed it into her hand and said, "Just take it. It's from your neighbors, not just you. I've prepared some for other families too."
After hearing what Qiao Anle said, Aunt Li hesitated and accepted it.
She said gratefully, "Then I thank you and Captain Li."
…
"Mom, what's delicious at home?"
"Mom, where's Dad? Is Dad back too?"
"Mom, you guys went to the county town today, so...did you eat a lot of braised pork belly?!"
Along the way.
The three cubs were just like the group of chicks that Qiao Anle had just bought, chirping non-stop.
Qiao Anle simply couldn't answer so many questions.
All she could say was, "You'll find out when you get home."
When the three kids walked into their yard, they forgot about the previous question. All their attention was attracted by the shiny bicycle that seemed to be glowing.
The third child shouted excitedly, "Car! What a big car!"
Erzai rushed forward and retorted, "Stupid! This is called a bicycle! Daddy told me it's a bicycle."
The eldest boy's eyes were shining as he looked at the bicycle that was taller than him without blinking.
Qiao Anle patted Erzai's head and praised him, "Erzai is really smart. You're right. This is a bicycle. And it's our family's bicycle."
"Our...home?!"
"Cheche, I want to make a big Cheche!"
"So tall, so tall, even taller than my little one."
The three little guys were spinning around a bicycle.
They were still a little scared and didn't dare to reach out and touch it directly, as if they were afraid of accidentally breaking it.
Qiao Anle said, "When Mom and Dad are free, I can take you for a bike ride."
The three cubs burst into excited screams.
Before one wave subsides, another wave arises.
The excited screams had just ended when another wave of louder ones rang out.
"Brother! Brother! It's chicks! Look, we have chicks at home!"
The third cub moved around and was the first to discover the chicks in the yard. He was so happy that he almost made a suona sound.
Qiao Anle didn't expect Li Fengbei to be so fast.
In such a short time, he built a low fence around the open space next to the small kitchen, laid straw in the corner, and scattered vegetable leaves on the ground.
A dozen chicks came out of a crowded bamboo basket and are getting familiar with their new home.
The second child also shouted happily.
"They really are chicks! So tiny, so many of them, all chicks!"
The eldest boy looked at the little chicken, then at Qiao Anle.
He looked up and asked, "Mom, are these chicks ours too?"
"Yes, they are ours. Dad and Mom went out to buy them today. Once the chicks grow up, we will have more eggs to eat."
The eldest cub thought about it and smiled, showing his little teeth.
He also walked over and looked at the furry little chicks through the low fence.
The eldest child said: "These chicks are so tiny."
Qiao Anle: "It's a small one, just like the big one, the second one, and the third one. As long as they eat well, they will grow up soon."
Second Cub: "Little chicks, you must eat well! When you grow up, you must work hard to lay eggs."
Sanzai: "Eggs! Lay eggs! Lay two a day."
The eldest child said: "Two is not enough, I need one, two, three... I need five! Dad, Mom, and us, one for each of us."
Second Cub: "Yeah, I want five. Listen to big brother, I want five!"
The conversation between the three kids is full of childish innocence.
While the family was watching the chicks, Li Fengbei had already prepared dinner.
The tall man walked out of the small kitchen, and the first thing that was placed on the table was - fragrant and shiny braised pork belly.
