The next day, the little dumpling woke up very early and saw that her parents on both sides were still asleep.
She tiptoed out of bed and ran towards the kitchen.
But just as they were halfway there, the little dumpling was scooped up by a pair of large hands and held in their arms.
"Little one, where do you want to run off to so early in the morning!" Mu Jinnian's long hair was tied up, and his handsome face exuded a youthful air. He pinched the little dumpling's nose with a mischievous smile.
She got up secretly and then sneaked out.
Her hair was a little messy after sleeping all night, and her tender face bore a resemblance to Mu Jinnian.
After her fourth brother pinched her nose, the little dumpling angrily bit his finger.
"I'm going to get some steamed buns for Grandma!"
The little dumpling was preoccupied with her grandmother who had just woken up.
Mu Jinnian rubbed her fingers against the little dumpling's clothes, returning her drool to her.
"You little rascal, you even know how to care for your grandmother now. Well then, your brother will go with you." Mu Jinnian carried the little dumpling towards the kitchen.
Mu Jinnian instructed the kitchen maid to pack porridge and steamed buns into a food box, and then carried it to his grandparents' courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, Mu Jinnian suddenly stopped.
The little dumpling was playing with his hair. Seeing that he wasn't moving, she asked in confusion, "Brother, why aren't you moving?"
Mu Jinnian put the little dumpling on the ground. "No rush, no rush. Let your brother comb your hair first. Otherwise, if Grandpa and Grandma see it, they'll blame me for not taking good care of you."
"Oh~~ So that's how it is~" The little dumpling's big eyes darted around, and she turned and ran into the house.
Mu Jinnian reached out to grab it, but it was too late.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Little Dumpling has come to see you!" Little Dumpling called out sweetly as she ran into the house.
The little girl's grandparents were already dressed. When she went in, the old Marquis Mu was personally wiping the old lady's face.
Upon seeing their granddaughter, the two men smiled happily and beckoned her over.
"Oh my, Grandfather's little darling, you've come to see us so early in the morning!" Old Marquis Mu stroked the little dumpling's face and teased her softly.
The little dumpling nodded and said, "Yes, my brother and I came to bring steamed buns to our grandparents."
Upon hearing this, Lord Mu and his wife felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
But then, Lord Mu took the little dumpling in his arms with a tender expression.
"If you want to bring steamed buns to your grandparents, you should at least comb your hair first. This messy hair will poke their eyes when they walk!"
Mu Jinnian entered carrying a food box, and as soon as he entered, he met the resentful gazes of the old Marquis Mu and his wife.
Mu Jinnian quickly handed over the food box and said ingratiatingly, "Grandpa and Grandma, your grandson has brought you steamed buns. Eating breakfast is good for your health!"
Old Marquis Mu snorted coldly, "Hmph! My health depends on my granddaughter's well-being! But my good grandson doesn't even care about his sister's hair!"
Madam Mu echoed, "You've been mischievous since you were little, and I bet you didn't take good care of my Tuan'er when you were living away from home!"
Mu Jinnian awkwardly scratched the back of his head and looked at the little dumpling.
The little dumpling grinned at him and stuck out its tongue.
Mu Jinnian responded with his eyes: You naughty little sister, bullying your brother!
After playing enough, the little girl saw her brother looking aggrieved and explained to her grandparents that Mu Jinnian was originally going to comb her hair, but she wanted to tease her brother, so she ran in with her hair all messed up.
Lord Mu and his wife then forgave Mu Jinnian, and the four of them sat down together for breakfast.
After breakfast, the little dumpling accompanied her grandmother to bask in the sun and ran around in the yard with Qiuqiu.
Just as the little dumpling was having fun, Mu Jinnian walked over carrying a pile of books.
The little dumpling knew immediately that her fourth brother was up to no good, so she let out a loud cry and rushed into her grandmother's arms.
Mu Jinnian picked her up with one hand, "Little dumpling, these are all the lessons you've missed for so long. The scholar says you need to catch up!"
The little dumpling shook his head in pain, "Brother, I get dizzy when I read books, I get dizzy as soon as I look at them."
After saying that, the little dumpling closed its eyes and stuck out its tongue, pretending to faint.
Mu Jinnian slapped her on the head, "Pretending to faint won't work, your studies are the most important!"
Knowing that her brother wouldn't let her off the hook, the little girl begged her grandmother for help: "Grandma, save me, save me! My hands hurt, my teeth hurt, my stomach hurts, even my hair hurts. I really can't write."
