After coming out of the school, Zhao Xiaobei kept walking with his head down. Wang Dazhuang was talking beside him in a loud voice, looking very excited, but Zhao Xiaobei's reaction was flat, and he didn't even raise his head.
Jiang Nian called out to Zhao Xiaobei, "Xiaobei!"
After hearing the voice, Zhao Xiaobei quickly raised his head, revealing his little face which was becoming increasingly fair and clean, and kept searching among the crowd.
Jiang Nian waved towards Zhao Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, here."
Because most of the children had left, the number of people at the school gate gradually decreased. Zhao Xiaobei glanced at Jiang Nian, and his depressed expression disappeared as his face suddenly brightened.
Zhao Xiaobei ran towards Jiang Nian very quickly. Even if Wang Dazhuang wanted to chase him, he couldn't catch up.
"Xiaobei, wait for me——"
Wang Dazhuang was chubby to begin with, and he was trying hard to catch up with Zhao Xiaobei by walking behind him.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xiaobei appeared in front of Jiang Nian, his eyes bright and he spoke excitedly, "Aunt Jiang, you're back! What about my parents, are they back too?"
As far as he could remember, this was the first time Zhao Xiaobei was so emotional.
Jiang Nian has been with Zhao Xiaobei for a long time and feels very sorry for this sensible child. Today, he has to disappoint him.
She shook her head gently. "Your parents are still at home. Can we wait a little longer? They will surely be back in a while."
The light that had just appeared gradually disappeared in Zhao Xiaobei's pupils and turned gray again.
Jiang Nian noticed that Zhao Xiaobei bit his lip, trying hard to suppress his emotions.
When faced with the grievance of her mother not being around, little Anbao can cry and make a fuss, and can vent her tears. After all, Lu Cheng is someone close to her.
But Zhao Xiaobei is different. He has never had the right to be willful since he was born. Even with Zhao Weidong and Song Yingying who truly love him, he still has to be obedient and sensible.
Huang Guixiang took good care of him, but they were not her family; he was a guest living under someone else's roof. Zhao Xiaobei was sensible and did not want to cause any trouble for Huang Guixiang.
Therefore, he never dared to express such emotions in front of Huang Guixiang.
It was when I was watching Jiang Nian that I was so excited that I revealed my inner feelings.
On the side, Wang Dazhuang finally ran over and saw Xiao Anbao. He forgot about his good friend Zhao Xiaobei and looked up and waved to Xiao Anbao.
"Sister An An! Sister An An! We haven't seen each other for so many days! Sister An An, please come back! Can you come to my house and eat watermelon?"
Jiang Maimiao, who was holding little An Bao, saw through the fat boy's thoughts at a glance and said bluntly, "We have watermelons at home, too. You don't have to eat yours. Stop using watermelons to tempt our An An. You kid, you have no way, are you listening?"
Wang Dazhuang was just a simple-minded boy who could not understand the sarcasm in Jiang Maimiao's words and instead spoke naively.
"Is watermelon not okay? Let's eat popsicles! I'll ask my mom to buy salt water popsicles! Let's eat popsicles together! My mom can also cook mung bean porridge. The sticky mung bean porridge tastes delicious after it cools down. Sister An An, do you want to eat it? Come to my house and eat it!"
Wang Dazhuang's words attracted Jiang Nian's attention. She touched Zhao Xiaobei's head and said, "Xiaobei, Aunt Jiang will take you out to buy popsicles. Dazhuang, you come too."
There was a vendor pushing a bicycle selling popsicles at the school gate, and Jiang Nian bought four at once.
Zhao Xiaobei, Wang Dazhuang, Jiang Maimiao and Jiang Rindong, each had one.
Little Anbao didn't have her popsicle, so she babbled excitedly, and Zhao Xiaobei wanted to share his popsicle with Xiao Anbao.
"Aunt Jiang, I don't want to eat popsicles. Give them to An An."
