"I don't know, is it because you don't have any playmates and are too lonely?"
"But there are other children in the family compound. The main problem is that he doesn't get close to the other children. He keeps his distance from the Chen family's children. Why is that?"
Does she not like older children?
Qin Yi rolled his eyes at him.
"If you don't know, how could I possibly know?"
Xiao Hu's brows were furrowed tightly. He had been helping to take care of this child for almost a year. Before, the child was always silent and rarely reacted to the outside world, but since Political Commissar Qin's family moved in, the child's reactions have become much more lively.
If you really want to say what's different about Commissar Qin's family, it's just that they eat better, right?
Oh, and there's fruit every now and then, does that count?
My eyes darted around and landed on two plates of apples placed at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed)!
He lowered his gaze imperceptibly. It was unusual to find such bright red, plump, and smooth apples at this time of year.
The children ate with gusto. Boys are naturally very active, and after several days of activity, the simple dishes were mostly Northeastern-style, with strong flavors that made it even more irresistible.
In no time, the plate was half empty.
Xiao Heng is small and eats slowly. He didn't even notice his plate getting emptier before Xiao An next to him started to get anxious. Xiao An's chopsticks trembled as she reached out to grab the food, her first target being shrimp, then ribs, chicken, dried potato shreds, and eggs. Xiao Heng's little bowl was quickly full again.

"Even the pot is delicious!"
Qin Jing, who was about to reach out with his chopsticks to serve his younger brother some food, was also stunned for a moment. What did this mean? Had his job been taken away again?
Qin Ming, Qin Shao, and Qin Guan didn't think much of it; they kept eating with their chopsticks and didn't even look up.
Xiao Hu and Qin Yi looked at each other again, their eyes filled with shock. Just now, it was Xiao An who spoke?
They might not be able to hear the lively conversation underground, but since they were so close, they could hear it all clearly.
Qin Yi was familiar with the Qin family children. They had all finished eating, but seeing Qin Heng still stubbornly gnawing on ribs, he glanced at his bulging belly and simply reached out and moved his bowl aside.
"You can't eat anymore, your tummy is going to hurt, you know?"
Qin Jing, annoyed that he had overlooked his younger brother's situation, also spoke up.
"Xiao Heng, be good. You can't eat anymore once you're full, or your tummy will hurt."
Qin Heng was reluctant, but he wasn't a brat, so he just wrinkled his nose and reluctantly agreed.
"Okay then, can we still eat it tomorrow?"
