After saying that, she took the little boy's hand and led him back. The little boy didn't struggle. Although he pouted, he didn't make a fuss like some naughty children. Instead, he obediently followed her. However, he was clearly reluctant to walk and turned back several times, looking longingly at the little cake he had been looking forward to.
He's a very well-mannered child.
It must have taken a lot of courage for him to come here on his own.
Tang Xiaoxiao took a clean picnic box, put two small cakes about the size of her palm in it, one chocolate and one strawberry, and also took two bananas. She tore off a chicken leg, wrapped it in oil-absorbing paper, and put it all in the box. Then she got up and went to where the family was sitting.
This is a family of four: a couple, a little boy, and an elderly woman with half-gray hair, who looks like either a grandmother or a maternal grandmother.
Tang Xiaoxiao handed the things in her hand to the boy's mother. The boy's mother's fair face turned slightly red, and she repeatedly refused to accept them. Tang Xiaoxiao insisted that they were nothing valuable and that she was not giving her much, but just food for the child. In the end, the boy's mother could not refuse her kind offer and accepted them.
A little while later, the boy's mother returned with her son, bringing over two homemade hamburgers and a box of cookies: "Thank you. The cake was delicious. Um... the hamburgers and cookies were homemade, so they might not taste very good. Please don't mind..."
Tang Xiaoxiao accepted the gift with both hands without refusing; it was just a matter of courtesy. The boy's mother exchanged a few polite words with her before taking her son back home. As they were leaving, the little boy turned back and said in a childish voice, "Thank you, sister!" Then his mother gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "How rude! Call her auntie!"
The little boy's voice, filled with confusion, rang out: "She's clearly a pretty older sister. Only older women like Mom can be called 'auntie'."
The boy's mother visibly staggered.
That brat!
Tang Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
......
After a short rest following their picnic, Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi tidied up the remaining food and picnic mat, restoring the area to its original cleanliness. Han Yunqi then carried a bag of trash to find a trash can when he suddenly heard someone call out from behind, "It's you?!"
Han Yunqi instinctively turned around and saw a couple standing not far away, the man holding a little girl in his arms.
It looks familiar.
Han Yunqi thought for a moment and quickly remembered.
Isn't this family the little girl and her parents that Xiaoxiao accidentally saved during the Chinese New Year?
The man had given him a business card, but neither he nor Tang Xiaoxiao paid it any mind. It seemed that... he had casually tucked the business card away somewhere, and they might not even be able to find it now.
Han Yunqi smiled at the two of them: "It's you two, what a coincidence."
Five minutes later, the family of three they had met sat down at the place where the Han and Tang families were resting.
“If it weren’t for the two of you saving my daughter that time, I don’t know what would have happened to her. Our whole family is extremely grateful. Unfortunately, our benefactors refused to leave their contact information, so we couldn’t just start looking for them in a big way.” The man said with a very sincere expression.
As mentioned earlier, the man's name is Xu Weijie, his wife's name is Jiang Suyue, and their little girl's nickname is Guoguo, and she is five years old this year.
After Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi returned home, they didn't mention the rescue to anyone, and neither of the two elderly couples knew anything about it. Now, seeing this family coming to their door with tears of gratitude, Guo Mingli eagerly asked what had happened.
