Meng Zhao was somewhat exasperated by their clinginess, but she could understand. For the past ten days or so, due to the heavy snow, she had basically stayed at home and rarely went out. These two children were always so attached to her, and once the shop opened, she estimated that she would be spending half her time in Xishui Street, so naturally they would miss her.
Seeing that Meng Zhao was being pestered, Gu Shi came over and tried to pull the two children away, saying, "You two behave yourselves. Your sister-in-law has to get up early tomorrow, so don't disturb her rest."
The two children still clung tightly to Meng Zhao, saying, "Sister-in-law, let us go to the new shop with you tomorrow. We can run really fast now."
Because Xiao Chuan had recently learned the long division method, he kept misremembering the digits. Wei Jinglan was giving him some extra help, and after hearing their conversation, she immediately turned around and said:
“There are many shops and streets in Xishui Street. You two won’t know anything there. What if you get lost or delivered to the wrong place?”
Shen Qingze immediately retorted, "We can learn the way first, we can walk around more. When we first arrived here, we didn't know any of the places either."
"Besides, there are two of us, one more than you, so we can deliver to more places," Shen Qingyu added.
Xiao Chuan pouted, then suddenly remembered something. "I'm older than you all, and I can drive a donkey cart. If Sister Meng gets tired, I can help her drive the donkey cart." There was a hint of pride on his face as he spoke.
Shen Qingze retorted, unconvinced, "We can learn. We'll definitely be able to drive a donkey cart in no time."
Xiaochuan shook his head. "No, no, you guys are too weak to learn. You need to grow to be at least as tall as me to learn."
Shen Qingze didn't believe it, so he ran over to compare his height with Xiao Chuan. Standing next to Xiao Chuan, he tried his best to stand on tiptoe, but no matter how he looked at it, he was still more than half a head shorter. He immediately became sullen and muttered, "I will definitely grow taller soon."
Seeing this, Meng Zhao felt both amused and touched. She stepped forward and said gently, "If you want to grow taller, you have to go to bed early and eat more. Do you two want to go to bed now?"
Unable to get the chance to go to the new shop with their sister-in-law, they pinned their hopes on growing taller quickly. Both of them raised their hands, "Yes, I want to go to bed early and grow taller quickly."
