Following the direction Xiaohua pointed, Chaochao walked all the way to the end and indeed arrived at the food collection point set up by the program team.
Xiao Qing wanted to go with Chao Chao, but the cameraman said the other children couldn't help, so she had to give up.
As expected, Chaochao was the last to arrive.
Old Li was almost dozing off when he finally saw a small figure push open the courtyard gate.
Only some steamed buns and coarse grains remained on the long table.
But the child was very happy, his cheerful baby voice as sweet as a crisp summer plum. He held up the tin bowl in his hand and asked, "Grandpa Li! Can you help me fill this up?"
No old person can escape the allure of the morning.
Old Li had never seen such an adorable little girl before, and she was exceptionally generous when serving all kinds of noodles.
Finally, they added two extra boiled eggs.
The child is so thin, he needs to eat more to grow taller.
Old Li placed the full bowls into the bamboo basket and covered them with a cloth.
When handing it to Chaochao, the old man was a little worried: "Can the child carry it?"
The little dumpling strained to raise his biceps, gripped the bamboo handle with both hands, and, taking a deep breath, said slowly and deliberately, "I, of course, can."
This is the rice bowl for Chaochao and her brother today!
Carrying a heavy mission, Chaochao set off with heavy steps.
The house, now that it's been cleaned, looks barely habitable.
Jiang Chi stared intently at the entrance of the compound.
Why haven't they come back yet?
When the cameraman told him that Chaochao had run away with the dog, Jiang Chi instinctively wanted to burst out of the door and chase after her. Fortunately, the cameraman's next words were that Chaochao had been rescued—no… she had returned to the community.
At this moment, Chaochao put down her basket heavily at the door, panting heavily, feeling extremely proud.
Look! She brought it back!
Moreover, she found her way home!
The little girl put down her basket and happily went to push the door open. After the door opened, she went back and picked up the basket again.
Then, the wooden door creaked shut again in the next second.
It doesn't matter.
Chaochao turned around, put down the basket, ran quickly to the door and pushed it open, just as she took a breath and lifted the bamboo basket.
"Bang--"
Chaochao, “?”
Was she not running fast enough?
Then came an advanced version of the round trip.
Inside the courtyard, watching the eerie scene of the gate opening and closing on its own, Jiang Chi turned to the cameraman: "...Did you see that?"
Is this some kind of ghostly disturbance in broad daylight?
Jiang Chi opened the door and looked down to see the little dumpling staring at the door, seemingly lost in philosophical thought.
Upon seeing Jiang Chi, Chaochao's almond-shaped eyes sparkled with surprise, and she quickly picked up the basket from the ground: "Brother, look, we have food!"
Sitting at the simple table, Chaochao held out the iron porcelain bowl as if it were a precious treasure, her fair fingers happily pointing at it one by one: "One for brother, one for me... one for brother, one for me... all of these are for brother!"
Brother, you work hard doing housework at home! You should eat more!
Jiang Chi looked at the mountain of seven or eight steamed buns and mantou on the plate, not counting the boiled eggs, cornmeal buns, and sweet potatoes placed next to them, and his eyelids twitched.
The system seems to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
This is a tradition of our old Chao family.
This isn't just a simple steamed bun; it's Chaochao's love!
Chi Zi, your good fortune is yet to come!
After excitedly washing her hands in the yard, Chaochao sat down again, picked up a meat bun with both hands, took a big bite, and squinted her eyes happily.
Chaochao got food for her brother today, thank you for your hard work!
Eat more!
The audience members covered their faces and laughed like idiots.
Wow, my baby is so happy even eating steamed buns! What an angel baby!
[Damn, my first-grader won't eat unless I coax and chase him around.]
I, who had no appetite at all, suddenly felt hungry while watching...
[Instantly switch to Meituan to buy steamed buns!]
Jiang Chi was never a person with a big appetite.
Before he knew it, he had eaten three steamed buns.
"..."
Does this dumpling really possess some kind of magic?!
Jiang Chi bit into his steamed bun, thinking to himself.
I think so.
Even if you're used to the delicacies at home, you can still happily munch on a steamed bun the next second.
His sister, who appeared out of nowhere, is indeed very easy to take care of.
Jiang Chi took a bite of the cornbread casually.
If he had had a younger sister like this by his side since childhood, his life would probably have been much more interesting.
At this moment, Chaochao grabbed a white steamed bun that was almost as big as her face.
The system shouted.
Look! Steamed buns are eating steamed buns! 110, come quick!
Jiang Chi's heart stirred at the sight, and his fingertips felt itchy.
He wiped his hands with a tissue, then gently pinched the little dumpling's chubby cheeks and pulled them to the side. The little dumpling's puffed-out cheeks immediately stopped, and its eyelids drooped down. "Ugh—!"
Jiang Chi pressed down with his fingertips: "This is a rogue rabbit."
Then, with a gentle squeeze, the fingers above loosened, and the little dumpling's almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, her little mouth pouting: "Pot pot mud house hand!"
Jiang Chi: "This is Angry Birds."
He chuckled softly and finally let go.
Chaochao glared at him angrily, then opened her mouth wide and stuffed the rest of the steamed bun into her mouth.
Hmm, this is an angry little dumpling.
Jiang Chi peeled a boiled egg and brought it to the little dumpling.
"Here you go, Handsome Bro."
Chaochao was appeased again.
The system was speechless, pointing and gesturing.
This is my brother who's such a jerk.
Is this a must-have in every household?
At this moment, the audience:
