Lanlan, Yanyan, Naonao, and Tengteng were playing hide-and-seek when Battalion Commander Kong arrived. This time, Tengteng was on the lookout, while the others hid.
Tengteng smiled as soon as he saw Battalion Commander Kong: "Uncle Kong, you've come."
"Hmm." Battalion Commander Kong didn't know if he was Naonao or Tengteng, so he didn't call him by name: "Has your mother returned yet?"
"No. Uncle Kong, why are you so late? Sister Lanlan and Sister Yanyan are both angry."
Yan Yan was young, and as soon as she heard it, she said, "I'm not angry."
Lanlan and Naonao silently called each other idiots.
Tengteng smiled even more sweetly: "Uncle Kong, Sister Yanyan said she's not angry, but Sister Lanlan hasn't said anything. Uncle Kong, is Sister Lanlan angry?"
Battalion Commander Kong picked Tengteng up from the ground: "You're playing hide-and-seek, aren't you? Your sister Lanlan won't fall for it."
Yan Yan quickly covered her mouth after hearing this. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Battalion Commander Kong: "Yanyan, come out. We know where you are."
Yan Yan crawled out from where she was hiding: "Teng Teng, you're so bad."
Tengteng looked at Yanyan seriously and said, "Sister Yanyan, I am Naonao."
"Huh?" Yan Yan blinked. "I made a mistake again?"
Tengteng nodded.
Yan Yan thought for a moment: "I remember this time we were the ones hiding and Tengteng was the one looking for us?"
Tengteng looked at Yanyan and pouted, "You can't even remember this? Sister Yanyan, you're so stupid."
"I'm not stupid." Yan Yan retorted, and walked towards where Nao Nao was hiding: "You're Nao Nao, aren't you?"
Nao Nao knew she had been exposed, and reluctantly crawled out: "Sister Yan Yan, next time you can hide first, okay?"
"Oh no, I have to hide you first. My mother said that you are younger than us, so we have to take care of you."
Nao Nao sighed: "Okay."
Yan Yan patted Nao Nao's head: "Good boy. You're Nao Nao, right?"
"right."
Yan Yan was delighted and turned to look at Tengteng, saying, "See, I'm not mistaken, you are Tengteng."
Tengteng nodded with a smile: "Yes, you're not mistaken. I was mistaken."
Yan Yan: "Teng Teng, can't you tell who's who between you and Nao Nao?"
Lanlan repeated to herself several times: This isn't my sister, this isn't my sister… But, this is her sister. To stop Yanyan from making any more foolish moves, Lanlan stepped forward. As soon as she came out, she looked at Yanyan and said, "Idiot, why do you always fall for Tengteng's tricks?"
"Huh?" Yan Yan blinked. "I've been tricked again?"
Yan Yan rolled her eyes as she looked at the sky.
Nao Nao: "Sister Lanlan, next time let's hide Sister Yanyan first, okay?"
Lanlan: "Okay."
Yan Yan scratched her head: "Dad, did I fall for it again?"
"Hmm." Battalion Commander Kong rubbed Yan Yan's head: "Silly girl."
Yan Yan didn't understand. But... her sister and father both said she'd been tricked again. Well... "Okay. Dad, Grandpa Guo's pastries are delicious. He gave me two pieces, and I saved half for you."
Yan Yan took half a pastry out of her pocket: "Here you go."
Battalion Commander Kong patted Yan Yan's head. Although his little daughter wasn't very bright, she was kind and filial: "Dad doesn't like it, you eat it."
"Dad, why don't you like to eat? Snacks are delicious, really."
"This is for you children, Dad doesn't like it."
"Well... okay." Yan Yan divided the half pastry into four pieces. Since Yan Yan was closest to Tengteng, she gave Tengteng one piece first: "Here you go."
"Thank you, Sister Yanyan."
Yan Yan wanted to pat Tengteng's head, but Tengteng was in Battalion Commander Kong's arms, and Yan Yan couldn't reach him. Just now, Battalion Commander Kong had bent down to put the snack in Tengteng's hand. Unable to reach his head, Yan Yan patted Tengteng's leg instead: "Good boy."
Tengteng patted Battalion Commander Kong on the shoulder: "Uncle Kong, I want to go down."
"Okay." Battalion Commander Kong put Tengteng on the ground.
Soon, the four children gathered together, eating snacks and discussing what to play later.
Tang Huihui heard Tengteng calling for Battalion Commander Kong, but she was in the bathroom. Old Guo and Old Shang weren't home either.
Battalion Commander Kong saw that there were only four children at home, so he waited for a while. After a while, Tang Huihui came out of the toilet. "Battalion Commander Kong, come in and sit down."
"No, I just came to see if Rika and the others have returned."
"They haven't come back yet."
"Then I'll head back now."
"Let's eat before we go back."
"No, Auntie, I'm leaving now."
"Okay then. I'll come visit the child whenever I have time."
"Okay. Auntie, could you please take care of her for a few more days?"
"It's alright. Lanlan and Yanyan are very well-behaved."
Upon hearing that Battalion Commander Kong was leaving, Lanlan and Yanyan both ran over.
Lanlan: "Dad, are you going back?"
"Yes. You should listen to Grandma Tang."
Lanlan: "Mmm."
Yan Yan: "Dad, is Grandma gone?"
"without."
Yan Yan: "You haven't left yet?"
"Um."
Yan Yan sighed.
Battalion Commander Kong rubbed Yan Yan's head: "Why are you sighing, you little kid?"
Yan Yan looked at Battalion Commander Kong and sighed again. "I don't dare go home as long as Grandma is here."
Tang Huihui teased her, "What's wrong? Is Grandma Tang's house not good?"
"good."
"Then why do you still want to go home?"
Yan Yan looked at Tang Huihui and then at Battalion Commander Kong: "Shouldn't children stay with their parents?"
Battalion Commander Kong squatted down and looked at Yan Yan earnestly, saying, "It'll be soon. You'll be able to stay with your parents soon."
Yan Yan laughed: "Okay."
When Battalion Commander Kong left, Lanlan came out to see him off. "Dad, I also saved a snack for you, here you go."
Seeing the snack in his daughter's hand, Battalion Commander Kong's eyes immediately reddened: "You eat it, Dad is leaving."
Lanlan stuffed the snacks into Battalion Commander Kong's pocket: "I've eaten, Dad, I'm going back now." After saying that, Lanlan ran back.
To keep the tears from falling, Battalion Commander Kong looked up at the sky for a while. As he looked at the sky, he said in his heart, "Pear Blossom, Lanlan, Yanyan, I will spend the rest of my life with you three."
Two days later, Xiaoman returned with Xiaohei and Zhou Lihua. Xiaoman and Xiaohei looked the same as before, but Zhou Lihua had lost a lot of weight.
As soon as Nao Nao and Tengteng saw Xiao Man, they rushed over to her.
Lanlan and Yanyan went to school and weren't home.
Nao Nao: "Mom, Mom, I miss you."
Tengteng: "Mom, Mom, I miss you too."
Xiaoman hugged the two little ones to her arms: "Mommy missed you too."
Tang Huihui: "You're back. Come inside. Pear Blossom, come inside."
Xiaoman: "Okay."
Pear Blossom: "Auntie, I won't go in. I'm covered in dirt."
Tang Huihui: "It's okay, Auntie works in the fields even when she's at home."
Xiaoman: "Come in."
"Oh well."
After Xiaoman and the others went inside, Naonao and Tengteng ran to Xiaohei's side.
Nao Nao: "Xiao Hei, do you miss me and Tengteng?"
Xiao Hei nodded.
Tengteng: "Xiao Hei, lie down, we'll give you a bath."
Nao Nao: "Yes, we'll give you a bath."
In the courtyard, Nao Nao and Tengteng were busy around Xiao Hei.
Inside the house, Xiaoman and Zhou Lihua also took a quick shower.
Tang Huihui poured them two glasses of water: "Why were you gone for so long this time?"
Xiaoman took a sip of water: "This time we went a bit further."
Zhou Lihua: "Auntie, we dug up a lot of good medicinal herbs this time."
"Really? That must fetch a lot of money, right?"
Zhou Lihua nodded excitedly.
"So... what are your plans next?"
