Previously, the stepmother didn't think there was anything good about having subordinates, but now, she suddenly feels it's very necessary to have some subordinates, otherwise she has no one to command.
The boy didn't know what the white tiger meant, but he felt the tiger's tail gently rubbing against him and knew that the white tiger meant no harm. The boy was instantly happy and opened the package even more quickly.
The boy munched on an apple while carrying over various snacks. Soon, his stepmother had tried all sorts of cookies, potato chips, spicy strips, and other junk food.
After having had her fill of snacks, the stepmother pulled out the packaging of several of her favorite snacks, growled at the boy, indicating that these were her favorites, and told him to find them.
The boy seemed to have suddenly understood, finding it almost effortless. He nodded, quickly picked up the empty package, and went to look for it.
Although she tried them all, her stepmother didn't want them all. She's a tiger with preferences; she likes sweet and fragrant foods!
Soon the boy had scooped up all the snacks he could find on the shelves. Looking at the pile of snacks on the floor, he even went to the daily necessities section to find a plastic bucket to fill them up.
The stepmother's eyes lit up when she saw the food being packed up. She had originally thought she would have to wait for the chipmunk to come and collect it, but she hadn't expected that this little human also had the ability to pack things up!
Not bad, not bad!
Having discovered the agility of humans, the stepmother carefully examined the boy with her tiger-like eyes. Looking at the skinny little human who resembled a monkey, the stepmother was somewhat dissatisfied. This animal had no fur, oh, it wasn't good-looking.
However, seeing the boy's nimble hands and feet, the stepmother felt there was nothing wrong with it. As long as the boy is useful, that's all that matters!
Even though he knew the tiger meant no harm, the boy was so frightened by being stared at by a large white tiger that he didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, his stepmother only watched for about ten seconds. When she saw the white tiger shift its gaze, the boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was terrifying!
On the other side, Lin Qian and Yong Qi had successfully opened up the warehouse. Looking at the full cardboard boxes, Lin Qian showed a satisfied expression.
The chipmunk came in and started collecting things, starting with salt, of course, since space was limited.
Lin Qian knew that the chipmunk's space wasn't big enough to hold everything, so he had the chipmunk collect the salt first, and then collect several boxes of barbecue seasonings, as well as a box of soy sauce and other similar items.
After packing it like that, the chipmunk's space was almost full, and all the food it had brought inside was thrown out.
Looking at the dozen or so baskets of fresh fruit, the chipmunk was a little reluctant to part with them; these were all fruits it had carefully selected!
Nuts and other food items were also thrown out; these were almost all the chipmunks' food reserves.
Lin Qian and his companions didn't have any food; the prey they ate was found along the way, and they didn't prepare any prey inside.
The bamboo tubes used for holding water weren't lost; water is very important in this weather.
When the stepmother and the boy came over, they saw the chipmunk angrily hugging the fruit and sitting on it, munching away.
Upon seeing the boy, the chipmunk squeaked, beckoning him to come and eat some fruit, saying it would be such a waste not to eat it!
We'll eat as many as we can; these were all picked with great effort by the mice!
The boy hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the tigers did not make any move, he quietly walked over, picked up a plump and ripe fruit, and ate it.
The chipmunk's eyes lit up when it saw the bucket the boy was carrying.
This thing seems to be more useful than a wicker basket!
"Squeak?!" Where did that come from?
Seeing the little guy excitedly pointing at the bucket, the boy cautiously said, "No, this is the white tiger's snack."

The white tiger loved snacks, but he dared not give them to the chipmunk. However, the little guy was so cute that after thinking for a moment, the boy reached into his pocket and took out a bag of snacks.
He put these away himself; they were snacks that the big white tiger didn't like to eat.
The chipmunk took the package, scratched the plastic with its little paws, and then continued to point at the bucket and squeak.
The boy was a little confused, so he had to explain again in a low voice, "These snacks belong to the White Tiger, you can't eat them."
Although these animals are all very intelligent and powerful, the chipmunk is obviously not as strong as the tiger, and the boy does not want the cute chipmunk to offend the tiger because of this.
The chipmunk was speechless. How could this human suddenly be so stupid?! It's infuriating!
Lin Qian found it amusing to see the sulking chipmunk, but he didn't offer any help. Communication barriers couldn't be overcome in a short time; they needed more time to get used to each other.
Having found the salt he needed, Lin Qian didn't linger any longer and turned back with a low growl.
As they reached the exit, the chipmunk was still squeaking on the boy's arm, and the boy's inspiration finally returned.
"You want this bucket?" Although it was hard to believe, the boy could tell that the chipmunk didn't want the snacks, and besides the snacks, all he had was the bucket.
Then, remembering the bamboo tube the chipmunk had given him, the boy instantly understood.
The boy jogged toward the area of daily necessities. The water bucket was in a corner, somewhat hidden, but the boy and the mouse still managed to get in smoothly.
Seeing the various plastic buckets stacked together, the chipmunk was instantly overjoyed.
With a touch of its little paws, it tucked everything away.
Although the space was almost filled, there were still gaps to put a few stacks of buckets.
Seeing the chipmunk's excited little face, the boy went around to the side and picked up a few water cups from the ground. He thought the chipmunk could use them to hold water.
