After learning that the children were alright, the adults immediately took them home. They were usually disobedient and naughty, but after losing even a little bit of their time, they were all extremely worried.
"Sister Lusheng, my brother said his family made dumplings. Shall we eat dumplings together before going back?" Fu Man'er couldn't bear to take her eyes off Lusheng.
"No, it's too late, I'm going home now," Lu Sheng said softly.
Fu Man'er's face couldn't hide her disappointment, and her big eyes stared at Lu Sheng, making Lu Sheng feel sorry for her.
"Lu Sheng, eat some dumplings before you go back. It won't make a difference if you stay a little longer," Liu Fang advised.
“That’s right, your Grandma Xu has already boiled the water at home, so we can eat as soon as we get back. After we eat, your aunt can take you back,” Old Man Xu added.
If it weren't for Lu Sheng's help, their Man'er might not have been able to escape. In any case, they must remember this kindness.
Moreover, this child is truly pitiful; since the incident occurred, her mother hasn't even left the house.
Ma Hong even went to Sun Xiuniang's house to tell her that she shouldn't worry and that the child would definitely be found.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Xiuniang didn't react at all. She said, "No need to look for him. If he can come back, he can. If he can't, then so be it. Anyway, Lu Sheng is an eyesore to her."
Ma Hong had only told these things to her family. She couldn't say them in front of Lu Sheng. How could a child the same age as Xu Yi bear such a thing?

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Sheng endured far more than that.
Finally, under the Xu family's warm hospitality and Fu Man'er's coaxing, Lu Sheng finally agreed to go to the Xu family's house to eat dumplings before going back.
When Grandma Xu received the news, she and her grandsons started a fire to cook dumplings, and she kept looking into the yard. Finally, the person returned.
"Man'er, my dear girl, let me see her quickly." Grandma Xu rushed out of the kitchen and took Fu Man'er from Xu Genshan's arms.
Today, everyone in the family held her so tightly, as if they were afraid that if they didn't hold her tight enough, she would be gone.
Fu Man'er nestled in Grandma Xu's arms, the familiar scent of her grandmother bringing her immense comfort. "Grandma."
Grandma Xu was so excited that she couldn't stop her tears. "What are you doing? Man'er said she's hungry. Quick, are the dumplings ready? Don't let the children go hungry."
Seeing his wife's tears, Old Xu deliberately shouted, "The person has been found! This is a good thing! You can't cry!"
"Yes, yes, there are dumplings cooking in the pot. You two go and sit down, I'll bring the dumplings up." Grandma Xu was reluctant to let her granddaughter go because she was hungry.
Soon, everyone sat down at the table, and steaming dumplings were served. Fu Man'er's mouth watered at the sight of them; they smelled so good.

"I want to eat ten dumplings," the little girl declared with great ambition.
Grandma Xu made these dumplings really well; they were all bulging inside. Ten dumplings are quite a lot for a five-year-old child.
"Okay, as long as you can eat it, twenty is no problem." We're not short of food at home, so the kids can eat as long as they're willing.
"Sister Lusheng, you eat fifteen." After arranging her own, Fuman'er turned to Lusheng and said.
Today, she didn't sit with Xu Yi, but instead clung to Lu Sheng. Xu Yi had already been squeezed to sit next to Lu Sheng. Considering the little girl's suffering today, Xu Yi decided to let bygones be bygones.
When Lu Sheng saw the size of the dumplings, she immediately shook her head, "I can't finish them." She estimated that she couldn't even eat ten.
"Eat more, eat a lot, and you'll grow taller and bigger." Fu Man'er began to explain her philosophy to Lu Sheng. In short, eating was the key.
Lu Sheng was amused by her twisted logic. No wonder the little girl was so chubby; she ate so much. "Then you should eat more later."
"Okay, I'll eat more, and then I'll protect Sister Lusheng." That way, Sister Lusheng and the others won't get caught.
"Come on, eat up." Grandma Xu brought out the dumpling soup and urged everyone to eat. "Genshu will be back late, so I saved some for him. Everyone on this table has to finish it."

Fu Man'er was starving and reached for her small bowl, but Liu Fang grabbed it before she could, saying, "Mommy will feed you."
Her little hands were covered in cuts and scabs, and Liu Fang couldn't bear to let the child eat by herself.
These dumplings are filled with pure meat, without any vegetables, which is exactly what Fu Man'er wanted. One bite and she felt so happy her nose was practically bubbling with delight.
"Sister Lusheng, aren't Grandma's dumplings especially delicious?" After taking a bite, Fu Man'er turned her head and asked.
Lu Sheng had just finished talking to Ma Hong when she heard the question. She imitated Fu Man'er and said, "It's extremely delicious."
She could tell that the Xu family did not ignore her just because she was a child; they talked to her, took care of her feelings, and told her not to be reserved.
It's no wonder that Man'er is always so cheerful. With a family like that, it's hard not to be happy.
Hearing Lu Sheng's words, Grandma Xu laughed uncontrollably, "You two little girls, you're both so good at talking. If I didn't know better, I would think that my dumplings are filled with dragon meat. They're not that delicious."
She originally thought her skills were still inferior to Liu Fang's, but these two kids have been praising her to the skies.
"Anyway, it's so delicious." Fu Man'er took another big bite, her mouth glistening with oil, her two short little legs swaying back and forth. It was clear that she was enjoying the meal.

For her, life is nothing more than this, and that's wonderful.
"Lu Sheng, make yourself at home here. Don't be shy. Help yourself to the dumplings after you finish eating," Liu Fang said as she fed her daughter dumplings.
Even though we invited her to our home, I'm worried she won't be able to relax and might not even get enough to eat. What would that be like?
“Exactly, we don’t talk about such things in our family. Just like Man’er and the others, look at Xu Wen, he’s like a bull. Relax.”
Ma Hong was also angered by Sun Xiuniang's attitude today, and she deliberately spoke to Lu Sheng in a gentler tone.
Xu Wen, who was suddenly nominated, was biting into a dumpling, neither eating nor swallowing. Was this really his mother? He was just a fast eater, how did she become a bull?
"Haha, Third Brother is a bull, haha." Fu Man'er happened to look over and was amused by his appearance, so she burst into laughter.
Lu Sheng had felt the kindness of the Xu family many times before. She had warned herself never to get involved, for fear that if she did, she would become so engrossed that she would forget everything else.
But today she couldn't hold back any longer, and finally she broke down, "Second Aunt, I want to drink a bowl of dumpling soup."
"Wait here, your second aunt will get you a hot bowl." Ma Hong liked this kind of straightforward manner, so she immediately put down her chopsticks and went to get a bowl for Lu Sheng.

After thanking him, Lu Sheng held the bowl and sipped the soup slowly. The soup was very hot, and there was some flour sediment in it. It warmed him up nicely.
Fu Man'er's eyes were practically glued to the bowl of soup. "Sister Lu Sheng, is it delicious?"
Xu Yi, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed. "Isn't there a bowl of soup in front of you?" Knowing that the little girl loved to drink water, Xu Yi had already ladled out a bowl for her, waiting for it to cool down so she could gulp it down in a couple of mouthfuls.
Fu Man'er didn't even blink, her eyes still fixed on Lu Sheng's bowl of soup. "It's a little hot, drink it slowly." Lu Sheng carefully held the bowl, trying to bring it closer to Fu Man'er's lips.
She deliberately aimed the side of her mouth that she hadn't touched at Fu Man'er's mouth.
Liu Fang quickly stopped her, "Man'er's mouth is all greasy from eating, don't ruin your sister Lu Sheng's soup." She didn't mind her own daughter, but she was afraid Lu Sheng would mind.
Lu Sheng didn't mind at all. Back on the mountain, she and Fu Man'er had even shared a fruit. "Auntie, it's alright, let Man'er drink it."
She loved to pamper Fu Man'er; seeing a smile on her face made her happy too.
Fu Man'er seemed to be quite adept at this. While Lu Sheng was still talking to Liu Fang, Fu Man'er had already put her mouth to the bowl and slurped the soup into her mouth.
"Drink slowly, don't choke." Lu Sheng looked at her and raised the bowl a little higher so that it would be easier for her to drink.
Xu Yi frowned again. Was it just his imagination? Was Lu Sheng going to try and take his sister away from him?
