"Xiao Linglong is back, why don't you stay in Beijing for a few more days?"
"She's getting cuter and cuter!"
"You can't take off your hat when it's so hot. You'll get a tan and it won't look good!"
"Xiao Linglong, would you like some snacks? Auntie has some new sour plum cakes at home."
On the way, people from Huaihe Village came to talk to Xiao Linglong enthusiastically and gave her sweet and sour refreshing snacks.
The little girl wore a layered gauze skirt, a bow-shaped hairpin in her hair, and had a cute chubby face.
Anyone who sees it would want to hug it.
In the past, Mrs. Ling and the others were quite worried about little Linglong because she was not their biological daughter, and they were afraid that the people in Huaihe Village would reject her. But now they realize that everyone likes cute little things.
Many other little girls in Huaihe Village are like boys. They are often tanned and look no different from boys at first glance.
But Xiao Linglong is different.
She was born with beautiful looks, big and bright eyes, and no matter how much she was exposed to the sun, she would never get tanned. Her skin was white and tender, like freshly made tofu.
Whenever a little girl like this goes out, everyone wants to hug and pinch her. Few people would dislike such a cute girl.
But it is impossible for others to hug you.
Ling Mu walked in front holding the little girl, and the twin brothers protected him on the left and right.
This is the standard equipment for small group travel.
Everyone in Huaihe Village is no longer surprised by such scenes.
The little dumpling was held in Ling Mu's arms, eating sweet and sour pastries, with a bag in his hand.
"Don't you want to eat, brothers?"
Ling Lin, who was walking beside them, smiled and said, "Eat it yourself. We don't like these."
Ling Sen also nodded.
This is true. We brothers really don’t like to eat these things that don’t fill us up.
But even if they love to eat, they can't compete with Xiaotuanzi for food.
Xiao Linglong nodded and muttered to himself:
"There are ten pieces in total. I'll eat two and give two to Brother Sheng. Then I'll go back and give two each to Brother Li Zi and Brother Xiao Wu!"
Although he is only four years old, the little girl can do some simple arithmetic.
This wasn't something my family members taught me on purpose. I just watched my older brothers do their homework and listened to them, but somehow I learned it.
Little Dumpling is very familiar with addition and subtraction of numbers within 100.
The Ling family all think their little Tuanzi is a little genius~
After going up the mountain, the group found Old Man Jin's house.
Old man Jin was sitting in a rocking chair under the tree at this moment, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, rocking and waving it, and he looked very comfortable.
Although the sun is strong, there are many trees on the mountain, and the shade from the trees blocks out the sun, making it much cooler.
The Ling family guessed that there might be a reason why the little girl liked to come here.
"Grandpa Jin~"
As soon as the little dumpling arrived at the place, he broke free from Ling Mu's arms and ran towards Old Man Jin.
Old man Jin was just taking a nap with his eyes closed, but when he heard the familiar voice, he immediately opened his eyes and his face was filled with joy.
"Hey, little Dumpling is here, come quickly, Grandpa Jin missed you so much!"
Before, little Tuanzi followed Old Lady Ling to Beijing City. They hadn’t seen each other for several days. Old Man Jin picked up little Tuanzi and put him on his lap.
"It's still hot here, how come you're back so soon?" Old Man Jin said with a smile, "But you're back just in time. Grandpa Jin made a lot of toys for you, I'm sure you like them!"
Apart from taking on furniture-making work for people in other villages, Old Man Jin basically spends the rest of his time making toys for his children. After all, he only uses leftover wood and it doesn't cost much in terms of materials.
It just so happens that his son Long Sheng has no interest in toys at all, and it just so happens that little Tuanzi likes them, so Old Man Jin is not useless.
Old Man Jin asked Xiaotuanzi to sit in the rocking chair first, and he went into the house and took out a bunch of things.
Little Dumpling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to get off the rocking chair immediately.
"Rabbit! Rabbit!"
"Yes, it's a rabbit, okay? This is what Grandpa Jin made for the boss's efforts!" Old man Jin shook the thing in front of him as if showing off.
This is a rocking stool, usually in the shape of a pony, which is also easy to carve.
However, since Old Man Jin was making it for Little Tuanzi, he took great pains to carve it into the shape of a rabbit. Although the shape looked somewhat unusual, it was still very special.
"It's so fun~"
Little Linglong sat on it, holding the rabbit ears in his hands, his body swaying slightly, his eyes narrowed with joy.
Old Man Jin chuckled and said, "It's fun, isn't it?"
In addition to this big piece, Old Man Jin also ground a lot of small building blocks for Xiao Linglong. Previously there were only long strips, squares and triangles, but now there are many other shapes.
Xiao Linglong loves playing with building blocks the most. With so many shapes, she can definitely build something fantastic.
Ling Mu and the others couldn't help but admire Old Man Jin's care when they touched the building blocks.
Such a small thing was polished without any burrs at all. This must have been more difficult than making large pieces of furniture for others.
Old Man Jin is really good to Xiao Linglong.
As soon as he arrived, Old Man Jin gave him a bunch of toys, and Xiao Linglong almost forgot what he came here for.
"Grandpa Jin, where is Brother Sheng? I want to play with Brother Sheng!"
This name actually sounds strange.
Logically speaking, since Xiao Linglong calls Old Man Jin grandpa, then Long Sheng should be her uncle. Ling Hancheng had tried to "correct" his daughter before, but for Xiao Linglong, she should call anyone older than her brother.
Long Sheng is similar to her and Brother Xiaowu, so of course she has to call him brother.
Not my uncle!
Ling Hancheng's attempts to correct him were fruitless, so the nickname "Little Dumpling" stuck.
"Grandpa Jin, I miss Brother Sheng so much!"
Xiao Linglong spoke her mind directly, completely unaware that her three brothers were about to vomit blood after hearing what she said.
Miss him!
Still miss him!
Ahhhhhh!
The three brothers wanted to put Long Sheng in a sack more and more!
Old man Jin almost laughed out loud when he saw the three people looking so angry.
These brothers are also "miserable"!
He smiled and touched the little girl's head: "Your brother Sheng went to play in the woods. It will probably take a while for him to come back!"
Xiao Linglong suddenly felt a little depressed: "Brother Sheng will take a long time!"
Xiao Linglong remembered that she had come to play with Long Sheng before. If Long Sheng went to the woods, it would take at least half a day for him to come back.
She has to wait for a very long time!
Old Man Jin spread his hands helplessly: "Grandpa has no choice. Otherwise, when he comes back, can you help Grandpa talk to your brother Sheng and ask him not to play for so long?"
That child...
