The two squeezed through the crowd and went straight into the store, followed by a chorus of complaints, "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you two? Get in line!"
Just as Xiao's mother was about to speak up in agreement, she looked up and saw the two of them. She immediately spoke up to comfort them, "Sister, these are my children."
