At noon, Tiedan was the first to return. Before he even entered the door, you could hear the child's exaggerated voice: "Mom, is lunch ready yet? Your son is starving!" Then a little boy, sweating profusely, wearing a blue cotton long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and cloth shoes, came in.
Zhang Sha glared at her son, but there was absolutely no real disdain in her eyes, only doting affection: "You're already in first grade, how can you still talk nonsense? What do you mean by starving to death? When have I ever let you go hungry?"
Tie Dan chuckled. It had been a while since he'd seen the little guy. He'd grown taller, thinner, and darker. When he smiled, his big white teeth gleamed: "Mom, I was wrong! But is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!"
Going to school is naturally different from being at home. After breakfast, you go to school, but there's not much to eat there. You have to wait until lunchtime to come back and eat.
Kids are naturally active, and the little bit they ate for breakfast has already been mostly digested. It's normal for them to be hungry, isn't it?
Zhang Sha pointed to a bag of fruit on the table: "These are apples your Aunt Yingying bought for you. Have some to tide you over."
It's still early for lunch today, lest the kid really get hungry.
Tie Dan then noticed Ye Wanying standing behind his mother and quickly greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."
Ye Wanying really likes Tiedan. People say you can tell what a person will be like at three years old. How old was he back in the village? He already knew how to protect his little brother, Xiaotuanzi. It's clear that he will be a responsible child when he grows up.
"Alright, Little Iron Egg." With that, he waved to Iron Egg.
Forehead?
Tie Dan approached suspiciously, only to see Aunt Yingying open her little schoolbag and take out a packet of cookies: "Weren't you hungry? Eat this."
Eating fruit before meals is not a good habit.
Eating something hot and cold at the same time is bad for your stomach.
Tie Dan was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to accept it: "Auntie, this... give it to my little brother, I don't want it."
Ye Wanying laughed: "Little brother, there's more. This is for you, little man. Don't be shy, eat it."
Finally, Tie Dan received a nod of approval from his mother before taking the biscuit from Ye Wanying's hand: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Good boy, don't be so polite with your aunt."
Just then, the little guy ran back from outside, excitedly saying, "Mommy, I found a dragonfly!"
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Tie Dan inside: "Wow, Brother Tie Dan, when did you get back? I was waiting for you outside!"
Yes, the little guy got bored of playing and ran out the gate to pick up Tiedan.
Tie Dan scratched the back of his head: "Well, I didn't take the main road, I took a shortcut back."
The two roads are not in the same direction, so it's normal that the little guy didn't see anyone.
Iron Egg's mother, however, sharpened her gaze: "Iron Egg, you took the shortcut again?"
Oops... Oh no, I let it slip and forgot my mother is here.
"I...I...I'm just hungry, I wanted to come back and eat quickly, Mom, I won't go playing in the water, really, I promise." The shortcut was flanked by small ditches, and Zhang Sha was worried that her son might go back and play in the water, what if something happened to him?
Therefore, he explicitly forbade his son from taking the shortcut.
Who knew this kid would always be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant?
But he couldn't bring himself to hit you, so he could only sternly threaten you: "This is the last time. If you take the shortcut again, I'll have your dad tie you to a tree and hang you up to beat you."
