Xiaoman walked up to the old wolf and circled him twice. It's unclear whether the old wolf knew Xiaoman was part of the family and therefore didn't bare his teeth at her, or whether he relied on his animal instincts to know Xiaoman was stronger. In any case, Xiaoman circled the old wolf twice, and the old wolf didn't do anything. Not only did he not do anything, but he even wagged his tail at Xiaoman.
Xiaoman wanted to test it, so she kicked the old wolf's butt. The old wolf glanced at Xiaoman, as if to say: Why did you kick me?
Xiaoman kicked it again.
Old Wolf glanced at Xiaoman again, as if to say: Why did you kick me again?
Xiao Hei asked curiously, "Master, don't you like it?"
"No. I just wanted to see how my sister tamed it."
Little Black looked at the old wolf: "Is it difficult to tame?"
"Hmm. Han Bin rolled around on the ground for over an hour before he tamed it. But my sister only kicked it once and it became obedient." Although her sister practiced martial arts with her, her age was a factor; no matter how skilled her sister was, she couldn't compare to her father.
Xiaoman glanced at the old wolf: "I suspect my sister can control ordinary animals."
Xiao Hei thought for a moment: "Sister knows who is a good person and who is a bad person. In other words, sister can see through people's hearts."
"Hmm. If you can see through people's hearts, it's not impossible to control them. Ordinary animals have simple minds, so controlling or influencing them shouldn't be difficult."
Xiao Hei nodded.
Xiaoman looked up at the sky. Damn you, heavens! Your daughter is under my control now. Even if you gave her every animal in the world to ride, I'd still ride her and not a single one would be able to.
On the other side, Liu Ling, Zhao Hong, and Wang Ping were still chatting about how Xiaoman looked so young.
Wang Ping believes it's innate.
Zhao Hong thought Xiaoman must have taken good care of herself. It's just that the treatments she received were relatively inexpensive, which is why Xiaoman could afford them.
Liu Ling thought that Xiaoman might really be eating bird's nest every day.
The three of them walked and talked, occasionally stopping to chat with acquaintances. So even though Nao Nao and Tengteng came out later, they caught up with them in no time.
When Liu Ling saw her sister carry the stone out again, she thought that although her sister wasn't stupid, she wasn't particularly clever either. "Little girl, come here, Auntie has a question for you."
The older sister glanced at Liu Ling and said, "Go ahead and ask."
Zhao Hong quickly said, "Your Aunt Liu wants to ask you what your name is?"
The older sister smiled at Liu Ling and said, "I'm your older sister. Aunt Liu, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Liu Ling: "I..."
She had barely uttered "I" when Zhao Hong interrupted again: "We just wanted to know your name. Now we know. Go have some fun."
The older sister felt a little disappointed: "Okay. Goodbye, Auntie."
Zhao Hong: "Goodbye."
After her older sister left with Naonao and Tengteng, Liu Ling asked Zhao Hong, "Why did you keep stopping me? I just wanted to ask her if her mother eats bird's nest every day. Let me tell you, that girl isn't stupid, but she's definitely not smart. When you asked her what her name was, she said she called herself 'older sister.' Who calls themselves 'older sister'? So, if we ask her, she'll definitely say so."
Zhao Hong: "Why do you only see her? Didn't you see her brothers were there too?"
Liu Ling: "So what? If this gets to Deputy Division Commander Han and his wife's ears, I'll just say I was joking with their daughter, okay?"
Zhao Hong: "You think people will believe you just because you're joking? Aren't you afraid that Deputy Division Commander Han will make things difficult for your husband?"
Liu Ling: "I..."
Zhao Hong: "If they don't want to talk about it, then so be it."
Wang Ping: "Did you see that just now? Deputy Division Commander Han's daughter has really good skin. Maybe she really is just born with it."
Zhao Hong glanced at Liu Ling, then at Wang Ping. Her two neighbors were one naive and the other simple-minded. However, there were advantages to being around such people; she didn't have to worry about being schemed against. "Alright, that's enough. Let's go home. We have a lot of things to do there."
Liu Ling: "I'm just curious."
Zhao Hong: "Curiosity killed the cat. I'm leaving."
On the other side, the older sister looked at her younger brother and said, "If anyone asks you about family matters, just say you don't know."
Brother: "Okay. Sister, those aunties wanted to ask you about our family?"
Sister: "Probably."
"Oh." The younger brother looked at Naonao, Tengteng, Zuozuo, and Youyou and said, "Brother, if anyone asks you about our family, just say you don't know."
The older sister pinched her younger brother's nose: "Your brothers know. You're the youngest in our family. If someone wants to ask about you, they'll definitely ask you."
"But..." the younger brother blinked, "those aunties wanted to ask you something."
The older sister smiled and said, "They think I'm rather stupid."
Younger brother: "The people who think you're stupid are the stupid ones."
After dinner, Han Bin called his sister to his and Xiaoman's room. Once his sister was in, Han Bin told Xiaoman about what had happened that morning.
Although Xiaoman heard what her younger brother said, she felt that his account might not be complete. After listening, Xiaoman asked her older sister, "Can you control most animals?"
The older sister didn't understand: "What is control?"
Han Bin: "Control means making it do whatever you tell it to do."
The older sister thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
Han Bin changed his question: "So, did you have Old Wolf carry your brother back?"
Sister: "No, I just want it to treat its brother as a friend and not kick him."
Han Bin looked at Xiaoman: "Does this count as control?"
Xiaoman rubbed her forehead: "Don't let animals be friends with other people so easily in the future, understand?"
Sister: "I've got it."
Han Bin looked at his sister and asked, "So, did you also make Old Wolf, your mother, your brothers, and your Grandpa Guo and Grandpa Shang your friends?"
"Yes. And Little Black too. I'll make it treat Little Black as a friend as well."
Xiaoman emphasized to her sister again that she should not let animals befriend other people indiscriminately before letting her sister go out.
After his sister left, Han Bin brought in the foot-washing water. While washing Xiaoman's feet, Han Bin chatted with her: "Xiaoman, I'll ask Commander Lü and Division Commander Miao tomorrow when they have time, and I'll take you to visit them."
"Okay. Now that you're back, Nao Nao and Tengteng should go to school too." Xiao Man didn't want to stand out, so she left the matter of Nao Nao and Tengteng going to school to Han Bin.
"Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
When Han Bin was washing Xiao Man's feet, his two neighbors on either side were talking about Xiao Man.
Bai Na still didn't believe that Xiao Man was Han Bin's first wife: "Old Bai, is that woman really Deputy Division Commander Han's first wife?"
Commander Bai hummed in agreement.
"Is Deputy Division Commander Han afraid that people will say he abandoned his first wife, so he said that woman was his first wife?"
"Impossible. Isn't it written in the original wife's file?"
"Is she really his first wife?"
"Um."
"Then...then she's too young, isn't she?"
"Some people are born looking young."
Bai Na then thought of something else: "Is his daughter not stupid either?"
"Um."
"Then why does she always carry a stone on her back?"
"Then I don't know."
Meanwhile, Commander Miao's wife was also talking to him about Xiaoman (the 12th solar term). "Old Miao, I heard that Deputy Commander Han has six children, and his wife has adopted two elderly people living alone?"
"Um."
“Then Deputy Division Commander Han’s burden is not light.”
"yes."
Commander Miao's wife works at the Women's Federation and is quite concerned about Xiaoman's employment: "Did he ask the organization to arrange a job for his wife?"
"No."
"No? If his wife doesn't work, he'll have to support nine people by himself."
"Perhaps he wanted to wait until his partner arrived before telling the organization."
Commander Miao's wife's surname was Du, and everyone called her Sister Du.
Sister Du also felt that Han Bin would not let Xiaoman stay idle at home: "If Deputy Division Commander Han mentions it to you, just tell me. I have a job that Deputy Division Commander Han's wife should be able to do."
"Um."
