"Ouch..."
The little pig lay on the ground with tears in his eyes. It was hot, and he was wearing shorts. His knees were scraping against the ground, and his skin was all chafed.
Ye Qingqing noticed that the little guy's knees were red and had a few streaks of blood. Her heart ached even more, but she had to endure it and pretend not to see it. She pulled hard on the rope and lifted the pig up.
"It's not broken yet, what are you yelling for? Get out of here!"
Ye Qingqing dragged the pig along and continued walking. Along the way, they encountered many residents of the community, who all looked at the mother and daughter in surprise, wondering what was going on!
An old lady was leading her grandson to school. The boy, named Xiao Jie, was two years older than Xiao Zhu and was in the senior class, while Xiao Zhu was in the junior class. However, the two children looked about the same age, and even five-year-old Xiao Jie looked thinner and weaker than Xiao Zhu.
Ye Qingqing knew the child. His parents seemed to be senior executives of a foreign company with a high annual salary, but they were also very busy with work and were never home all year round, always flying around the world. It was already remarkable that they could find the time to have a child.
So the child is basically taken care of by his grandparents, mainly his grandmother. The old lady really loves this rare grandson. Xiao Jie's father is a PhD and his mother is a postdoctoral fellow. They originally planned to be childless after getting married, but later they got older and wanted to have children. In addition, both sets of grandparents strongly urged them to have children, so Xiao Jie's mother gave birth to Xiao Jie at the age of 42, risking her life.
Xiao Jie's mother went back to work right after her maternity leave, not daring to rest for even a day longer. But even so, her original promotion opportunity was snatched away by her former subordinates. Fortunately, Xiao Jie's mother was really capable, so she simply left her original company and went to another foreign company through a headhunting firm. She is still a senior executive and is doing very well, but she is even busier now.
Xiao Jie can usually only chat with his parents via video, and spends more time with his grandparents in real life.
The two elderly people cherished their precious grandson, whom they had finally managed to have. They were afraid he would melt in their mouths, and they would grant him every request. They would do anything they could to satisfy the child.
I like KFC, so my grandpa packs a family bucket every few days. I like Coke, so I just buy a whole case wholesale, and that's enough for me. I like chocolate, so I buy the best quality, and I can eat it every day.
Don't like to eat? No problem. We'll eat KFC and drink Coke. We're rich anyway.
And so, Xiao Jie was successfully spoiled by his grandparents into having a picky eating habit, and his development also suffered. The five-year-old was too thin and short. Ye Qingqing had reminded the grandparents before, but her good intentions were not rewarded. The two elderly people gave her the cold shoulder and spoke to her in a sarcastic tone.
"Xiao Jie, have another bite, be good!"
The old lady carried a schoolbag on her back and held a peeled hard-boiled egg in her hand. She broke off a piece of the yolk and jogged after her grandson to feed him. Ye Qingqing could tell at a glance that Xiao Jie definitely hadn't eaten breakfast.
It's always been like this. Every time it's mealtime, the two old people would take their grandson out for a stroll. The old lady would bring the food, and the old man would bring the toys. The two old people would entertain their grandson like entertaining a parent in colorful clothes. A meal would take at least an hour. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter they would have to go back and reheat the food several times. Ye Qingqing felt exhausted just watching them.
And at times like this, she would feel that her little rascal was pretty good. He was better than some but not as good as others, at least a hundred times better than Xiao Jie. He didn't need adults to worry about his meals, he just ate a little slowly.
"I'm not eating it... I hate egg yolks!"
Xiao Jie ran even faster, and the old lady couldn't catch up with him. He didn't want to eat the disgusting egg yolk; he wanted to eat fried chicken legs.
"Ouch... Slow down... Don't fall!" The old lady almost tripped herself, but she was worried that her precious grandson would fall too.
