Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin: "What are you shouting for?"
"Where...where did my daughter run off to?"
"My mother."
Han Bin breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaoman, were you trying to scare me to death?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Your daughter ran away."
As Han Bin walked towards the gate, he said, "What do you mean she ran away? She just went to visit her grandma. She'll be eating soon. I'll go pick her up."
"She won't come back with you."
"What?!" Han Bin stopped and turned to look at Xiaoman, saying, "Comrade Wang Xiaoman, did you bully my daughter?"
"No."
Han Bin didn't believe it: "Then why didn't she come back with me? Xiaoman, our daughter is still young, don't worry. When she grows up, I'll train her, and I guarantee I'll train her to be just like my soldiers, both diligent and brave."
Xiaoman smiled. Only Han Bin himself believed this. "Today, didn't my mother hold her and feed her? When my mother and the others left this afternoon, your daughter was reluctant to leave. Then my mother said, 'Then you can go home with Grandma.' Your daughter asked my mother, 'Grandma, if I go to your house, will you dress me? Wash my face? Feed me?' My mother said yes, and your daughter ran off with my mother."
Han Bin wanted to both laugh and beat up his sister after hearing this: "You heartless little thing, I'll go and bring her back."
"You brought her back and dressed her? You washed her face? You fed her?"
"This..." Han Bin was stumped. "I'd like to, but where would I find the time?"
"Then let her stay with her mother."
Han Bin objected: "Mother needs to take care of Wenwen."
"Your daughter is easy to take care of. She doesn't run around or move around much. Just feed her."
Even so, Han Bin still wanted to bring his chubby daughter back: "I'll bring her back."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "And then let her always feel that my mother's place is better than her own home?"
"Well... the child is still young, she'll understand when she's older. I... I'd better go and bring her back."
Xiaoman looked up at the sky and said, "Just think of it as her going to visit my mother for a few days, okay?"
"I...I miss my daughter."
Xiaoman looked up at the sky again: "Bear with it, go inside, and eat."
Han Bin didn't want to go in, but Xiao Man pulled him inside.
A little while later, Zuo Zuo and You You returned with their younger brother. They had gone out to play after dinner, so they didn't know that their older sister had gone with Xiao Man's mother.
Zuo Zuo didn't see her older sister: "Is my little sister asleep again?"
Youyou: "It's time to eat. I'll go call her."
Younger brother: "I'm going too."
Xiaoman: "No need to call her, she's not here. She's gone to stay at her grandma's house for a few days."
There's only one girl in the family. Her siblings, Nao Nao, Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, You You, and younger brother all adore their older sister.
Zuo Zuo: "Does your little sister want to play with Wenwen?"
Youyou: "Then we'll take her to her grandma's house to play again tomorrow."
Zuo Zuo: "Yes. Mom, I'll go and bring my sister back."
Younger brother: "Looking for my older sister."
Xiaoman had a slight headache. One by one, they all said, "No."
Zuo Zuo: "Why? My little sister has never lived at her grandma's house before, so she's definitely not used to it."
Youyou: "Yes."
Younger brother: "I'm not used to it."
Han Bin: "Yes, my sister will definitely not be used to it. Xiaoman, I'll go and bring her back."
Xiaoman: "Shut up. Wash your hands and eat."
The four men, one adult and three children, didn't move.
Xiaoman looked at Han Bin and the children: "Am I my sister's stepmother?"
With the stepmother already out, Han Bin knew there was no room for negotiation: "Zuo Zuo, You You, little brother, go wash your hands with Dad. Your sister will be back after staying at your maternal grandparents' house for a few days. Let's go."
After Han Bin took his three sons away, Xiaoman rubbed her forehead. This lazy girl is quite likable; look at them all.
A little while later, Nao Nao and Tengteng also came back with their schoolbags. Their first reaction upon learning that their older sister had gone to Xiaoman's mother's was to go and bring her back.
Xiaoman looked up at the sky. They really were father and son.
During the meal, Han Bin and his sons didn't eat with the same enthusiasm as usual.
Old Guo glanced at Xiaoman several times.
Old Shang asked Xiaoman twice when her sister would be back.
Xiao Hei would go to the gate to take a look every now and then.
Xiaoman was speechless. It turned out that she was the only bad person in the whole family.
On the other side, Xiaoman's mother, Qianqian, Wenwen, and her older sister were also eating.
My older sister is chubby and has a sweet tongue. Qianqian likes her sister very much. Originally, she wanted to feed her sister, but she couldn't beat her mother-in-law to it.
Xiaoman's mother fed her granddaughter a bite, then fed her another bite, then fed her another bite.
At first, my older sister enjoyed the meal. But as she ate, she became less happy. Initially, she was pleased that someone was feeding her, saving her from having to do it herself. However, after her initial joy, she realized that the food at her grandmother's house wasn't as delicious as the food at her grandmother's house.
Xiaoman's mother also noticed that her older sister was eating slower and slower. "Are you full?"
"No." The older sister looked at Xiaoman's mother and asked, "Grandma, you can dress me and wash my face, right?"
Xiaoman's mother: "Yes."
The older sister looked at the rice in her bowl and then at Xiaoman's mother. In the end, she felt that it was more important to have someone to hold her, feed her, dress her, and wash her face: "Grandma, I love you."
"Grandma likes you too. Come on, let's eat."
"good."
After dinner, Xiaoman's mother first washed the two little ones' hands, faces, and feet. Then she carried them to the bed, saying, "You two play for a while, Grandma will wash her feet."
Sister Wenwen: "Okay."
At home, Nao Nao and Tengteng would play with their older sister, but since they are both boys, they prefer games that involve running and jumping. Xiaoman also wanted her sister to be more active, so she didn't let them play the games that girls like with her.
When Wenwen arrived, she was already a girl and had a rather quiet personality. Soon, the two little girls were playing together.
However, after playing for a while, the older sister stopped: "Sister Wenwen, let's lie down and chat."
"good."
After lying down, the older sister kept wanting to look from her right side. The sister and brother had never been separated since birth; the brother had always slept on the sister's right. The sister got up and lay down on Wenwen's left. Even after lying down, the sister still felt something was wrong.
The older sister sat up and thought for a moment: "Grandma, I want to go home."
While washing her feet, Xiaoman's mother asked, "What's wrong? Is Grandma's house not alright?"
"good."
"Then why do you still want to go home? Sweetie, Grandma will take off your clothes after washing your feet."
The older sister hesitated for a moment: "Grandma, there's no younger brother here."
“There’s an older sister here.”
Sister: "Grandma, there's no Nao Nao brother, no Tengteng brother, no Zuo Zuo brother, no You You brother, no Dad, no Grandpa Guo, no Grandpa Shang." Sister paused for a moment: "And no Mom either."
"Grandma will take you back tomorrow. Look how dark it is outside."
The older sister looked outside and said, "I'm not afraid. I miss my younger brother, I miss my older brother Naonao, I miss my older brother Tengteng, I miss my older brother Zuozuo, I miss my older brother Youyou, I miss Dad, I miss Grandpa Guo, I miss Grandpa Shang, I miss Xiao Hei. I miss... I miss my mom. Grandma, I'm not afraid of the dark, I want to go home. Grandma, please take me home."
"This..." It was getting dark, and her older sister was still small, so Xiaoman's mother didn't want to carry her out. "Grandma is afraid of the dark, Grandma is too scared to go out. Grandma will take you back tomorrow, okay?"
The older sister thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back by myself. I know the way."
"No, it's dark, children can't go out."
"Why?"
"Because...because there are bad people outside."
The older sister looked outside and said, "There are no bad people outside, and Dad is here."
"Nonsense. Come here, Grandma will take off your clothes."
"No. My dad will be here soon. Really."
