The Xiao family's bedroom.
Xiao Dan and his wife were half asleep when they suddenly heard a thud, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He was alert; the moment the voice rang out, he snapped to attention, his eyes snapping open with a sharp gaze.
In the pitch-black night, the room was quiet for a while before a rustling sound could be heard.
This time it's on the ground.
He listened intently and discovered that the sound was coming from the floor at the foot of the bed, extending to the doorway, followed by the sound of someone trying to pry open the door.
The door was pried open for a long time but didn't open, and he heard a soft, groaning sigh.
As if remembering something, she turned her head to look at the middle of the bed.
The little person has really disappeared.
Look again towards the door.
The window was open, letting in a dim light. He had good eyesight and could clearly see the little guy's dejected back, sighing repeatedly.
He sat up, looked down at his feet, and was puzzled.
My wife has to get up early to cook breakfast, so she's used to sleeping on the outside of the bed. When she's lying down, her feet don't reach the foot of the bed frame. Our little girl sleeps in the middle, so she just crawls out from under her feet.
She's so tiny, how did she even get down there?
That thud... were you sure it wasn't her falling?
Although the bed wasn't high, it wasn't short for the little one. If she really fell, why didn't she cry?
He quietly got up, picked up the energetic little one, gently pinched her little nose, carried her out of the house, and quietly closed the door.
I turned on the light in the main room and checked the little guy. I found that his little feet were scratched red from the edge of the bed, and his little bottom was covered in dirt. So, the little guy must have fallen while getting off the bed backwards.
Thankfully, I didn't land on my head first; otherwise, if I had been seriously injured, how would I explain it to the other person's parents?
"Little girl, why aren't you sleeping?"
"Oh dear, oh dear." (Brother, sister.)
Judging from her tone, she's quite angry.
Xiao Dan didn't understand and thought she wanted to go out and play. He chuckled twice, shook his head helplessly, and went to find some red medicine to wipe her little feet.
"Sweetie, go back to sleep with Grandpa. It's too late. You can play again tomorrow."
The little head shook like a rattle-drum, and the little hands kept waving towards the outside of the yard, "Ee-ya." (Looking for her older sister.)
She dreamt that her older siblings went out to play without her, and she wanted to go find them.
They couldn't understand each other, and the child refused to sleep, so Xiao Dan had no choice but to dress her in her little clothes and carry her to the yard.
"Grandpa will carry you for a while, and then you'll go to sleep."
Once outside the main room, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he pointed out to the courtyard.
The little guy was quite strong, his small body leaning outwards as far as he could. Xiao Dan had no choice but to take him out. Once they reached the alley entrance, the little guy pointed the way again.
Following the direction she was pointing, Xiao Dan finally understood what she meant. "You little rascal, staying up all night just to go find your sister and brother?"
Not bad! Such a young child already knows the way. Such a good memory. He'll probably amount to a lot when he grows up.
After all that work, Grandpa finally understood her, and the little girl was so happy that she showed her entire gums.
Seeing her eyebrows practically dancing with joy, Xiao Dan shook his head helplessly.
People say birds of a feather flock together; if the daughter is a troublemaker, this little one isn't necessarily well-behaved either.
"They're all asleep now. We can play again tomorrow. Grandpa will carry you around for a bit, then we'll go back to sleep, okay? Be good."
As they approached the entrance to the Xie family's courtyard, he said, "Look, the gates are all closed, everyone is asleep, and you're the most energetic one in the whole courtyard."
The little rascal shook his head and wiggled his legs, then lunged toward the door with both hands, determined not to go back.
Xiao Dan had a headache. The child looked young, but he was stubborn, just like his daughter.
Just as I was about to speak to the child, the door creaked open and a big, furry creature ran out.
Recognizing at a glance that it was the mischievous girl her son-in-law had mentioned, Xiao Dan quickly covered Nannan's eyes.
However, he was too late to cover it up; the little girl had already seen it and started babbling incessantly.
Hearing the voice, Xie Da recognized its owner, happily opened the door, greeted the leader cheerfully, and snatched the child away.
Xiao Dan panicked, afraid of scaring the child, but the child was so engrossed in petting and poking him.
Amazing! The little guy wasn't afraid at all. In fact, he could talk to anyone, one making soft whimpering sounds and the other making babbling sounds, which was even smoother than the conversation between an adult and a child.
That's really hurtful.
He wanted to ask Xie Da if the other people and things were inside, but then a whole bunch of others came running out, and the spacious courtyard instantly became crowded.
He panicked again, "You guys aren't planning to raid the residential compound at night again, are you?"
What kind of weird habit is this? Why do you always like to go out at night?
Two snakes, three chickens, and four bears all nodded in agreement.
Shishi ran out with her mouth glistening with oil, waving her little hand boldly, "Come on, I'll take you to hear the snoring. I know whose family snores the loudest, like thunder."
I'm so full and can't sleep, so I'll find something to amuse myself. Unfortunately, everyone's asleep, so there's no gossip to hear. I'll just listen to something else.
Xiao Dan: ...This problem is somewhat hereditary, passed down from owner to pet.
What kind of good girl would listen to someone snoring in the middle of the night?
In his mind, only tired men snore, and what's so nice about the sound of a stinky man?
Fortunately, it was already late at night, and she was exhausted from training all day, so the fun wouldn't last too long, and there was no need to worry about her hearing anything she shouldn't.
"Eeya".
"Darling, what are you doing here? Did you sneak out of the house in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Dan coughed. "Shishi, Dad's here. I'll carry her out for a walk."
Isn't this little girl a bit too brave? Even he was so scared when he first saw two big snakes that his legs went weak, but she laughed like a little fool and even reached out her little hand to touch them.
