Qu Huaiyuan ate very well, slowly and calmly, which showed that he was very well-mannered.
On the contrary, Zhen Wanwan and Zhen Fuyou wolfed down their food without any regard for appearances, finishing each pastry in just two bites.
"Little sister, give second brother a few more pieces."
Zhen Wanwan had a small appetite to begin with, and was full after eating a few pieces, so she gave the rest of the pastries to Zhen Fuyou.
Qu Huaiyuan carefully handed the still relatively intact pastry to Zhen Wanwan.
"Why are you eating so little? I still have some left."
"Thank you, Brother Qu, but I'm already full. You can keep the rest for yourself!"
Zhen Wanwan smiled and directly refused Qu Huaiyuan's offer to feed her.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but the moon here seemed very big and bright.
Even in the most remote and desolate places, the mountain roads are clearly illuminated.
They were probably the only group of people traveling around here.
After watching for a while, Zhen Wanwan retreated back into the carriage, her vision dimming considerably.
Seeing that the two children were still asleep, Zhen Wanwan closed her eyes to rest.
The person sitting outside quietly folded the handkerchief and carefully put it into their pocket.
Around dawn of the second day, the group finally emerged from the path.
They also successfully avoided the section of mountain road that had been occupied by refugees.
Led by Zhen Fugui and Zhou Dashan, the group found a secluded corner and prepared to rest there.
Since many people hadn't eaten yet, Zhen Wanwan generously took out the pastries and cakes that Madam Fang had given her from her package.
They were all foods that could fill you up.
There was plenty of food at home, and Grandma Li wasn't stingy, letting Zhen Wanwan do her good deeds.
After all, these people are following me, so I have to maintain good relationships with them.
When we settle down in our new place, we can support each other.
Wang Er's family hadn't expected Zhen Wanwan to share her food with them.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Wanwan was the first to distribute them.
Wang Er was at a loss for what to do, and tears and snot streamed down his face.
“This… Madam Zhen, we appreciate your kindness, but you should still…”
Zhen Wanwan directly stuffed enough pancakes for Wang Er's whole family into Wang Er's arms.
"Just take it! Adults can go hungry, but children can't!"
Mrs. Ma stood by, holding her youngest son, with her eldest son and second daughter beside her.
The two children were about the same age as twins, but much smaller, and looked to be about four years old.
Wang Er's own child was so hungry that his mouth watered, and he bowed to Zhen Wanwan with tears in his eyes to express his gratitude.
Mrs. Ma looked at her with a deeply moved expression.
Zhen Wanwan did not linger, but distributed the remaining items to everyone present.
Make sure everyone has enough to eat.
The twins hadn't heard Zhen Wanwan tell a story for several days, so after eating, they followed her around like glue.
She calls her "little aunt".
"Alright, it's too late today. How about I tell you stories tomorrow when you ride in the same carriage with me?"
"Yay! I want to hear from Chief Black Cat."
After Zhen Wanwan nodded in agreement, the twins skipped and hopped to find Zhen Fuyou to sleep.
It was a bit chilly at night, and fearing that the children would catch a cold because they were too young, she and the twins slept in the carriage tonight.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened in the latter half of the night.
As soon as the sun rose, everyone woke up.
Everyone simply ate the steamed buns that had been prepared earlier, along with some cool water, and that was their breakfast.
Let's go!
Because of the arrival of the twins, Grandma Li put away the bedding in the carriage, making the space much larger.
Fearing that the two children might not know their place and hurt Guabao and Tianbao, Grandma Li warned them with a fierce look on her face.
"Your younger siblings are still small. If you want to listen to stories, sit still and listen properly. Don't touch them!"
Seeing this, Gou Dan and Er Niu nodded understandingly, quietly watching the two sleeping babies.
In the past, among her grandchildren, Grandma Li loved the twins the most, followed by Xiao Huzi.
As for his granddaughter, he was only willing to give her food, and never even held her.
Now that they have their baby boy and daughter, it has almost shattered Grandma Li's preference for sons over daughters.
Although she kept calling him "baby," she actually hugged "sweet baby" the most every day.
They called her their darling.
Zhen Wanwan felt like she hadn't slept enough and just wanted to catch up on some sleep in the car, but she was faced with the twins' nagging.
She took out some Lego from the storage space and let them play by themselves for a while.
No wonder people say even dogs hate six- or seven-year-old kids!
Her mischievous antics were exhausting.
I wonder if my baby and sweet baby will look like twins when they are this age?
But then she thought of Xiaohuzi and Da Ni and Er Ni, and realized that children are not all the same.
Too lazy to think about it, Zhen Wanwan fell into a deep sleep.
She slept for a long time and didn't even notice when the child woke up.
Fortunately, the two children were as well-behaved as ever, and the twins were there to amuse them.
Then she stopped crying and making a fuss.
Zhen Wanwan skillfully changed the child's diaper.
Grandma Li chuckled and said, "My little darling and sweetie drank a few extra sips of formula today!"
Hearing this, Zhen Wanwan laughed: "Mom, how did you remember how many sips of milk they drink each day?"
"You don't understand, this child is getting bigger every day... Eating more brings good fortune."
Grandma Li looked at her two lotus root-like arms with satisfaction, her smile so wide her eyes disappeared.
Zhen Wanwan shook her head helplessly at this. At this age, even a few extra sips of milk would be praised.
Dog Egg and Er Niu hadn't forgotten their purpose in coming here. Seeing that their aunt had some free time, they pestered her to tell them stories.
"Auntie~ I want to hear episode 10 of Black Cat Detective!"
"No! Auntie, I want to hear Doraemon episode 43..."
The two started arguing again about what story they wanted to hear.
Zhen Wanwan coughed twice, signaling them to be quiet.
"Today I'll only tell one story, and you guys guess the seashell as usual! Whoever wins will get to tell the story!"
Faced with Zhen Wanwan's request, Gou Dan and Er Niu had already memorized it and obediently guessed the seashells.
In the end, Dog Egg won by a narrow margin and started talking about Doraemon...
Outside the carriage, Qu Huaiyuan's eyes were full of smiles, and his face was warmer than usual.
Zhen Fuyou was boasting so much that he saw Qu Huaiyuan laughing and thought he didn't believe him.
They then exaggerated their boasting even further.
"You have no idea, that day I...blah blah blah..."
And so, Qu Huaiyuan listened attentively to the stories Zhen Wanwan told in the carriage while enduring Zhen Fuyou's boastful and radiant words.
This lively atmosphere brought some joy to the travelers.
Laughter and exclamations could be heard from time to time along the way, which aroused the curiosity of the other children.
Every child envied Gou Dan and Er Niu.
They were born simply because they had an aunt who could tell stories, and who also provided them with delicious food and fun toys every day.
Who wouldn't love that!
