Xiao Sibao returned home with bumps all over his head.
The children all gathered around, laughing heartily at their little sister whose face was swollen like the rice cakes their mother had steamed.
Erbao, with his sharp tongue, pointed at Xiaosibao's face and laughed heartily: "Xiaosibao, your face is bigger than your butt, hahahaha."
Sanbao laughed along, "Sibao is so chubby now, he's as big as two people's faces."
Da Bao cleared his throat and scolded his two younger brothers: "Don't talk to Si Bao like that. She's just a little chubby and not as cute as she used to be. She'll be fine in a few days."
The little boy was furious because his older brothers were laughing at him. He stomped his little feet, frowned, and said angrily, "You're laughing at me, I'm never talking to you again!"
“But you look so funny, I tried, but I couldn’t help it,” Sanbao said seriously.
Little Sibao pouted, turned his back, and ignored his annoying older brothers.
The older brothers all crowded around, trying to please him, saying, "Sibao, what did you bring back? Let us see! Wow, it smells so good! I can smell it! It smells so good, it's honey!"
"No, I won't show you." Little Sibao was still angry, holding the beehive tightly in his arms, not letting his brothers see even a little bit.
The little ones realized they had offended Xiao Sibao at this point, and since they still wanted to see the beehive, they quickly tried to reason with him. But Xiao Sibao was still angry and wouldn't listen to anything he said.
The children scratched their heads, saying that honey was something they couldn't see or eat, and they were so envious.
Erbao had a sudden inspiration and praised, "Little Sibao, you're amazing! You managed to get a beehive all by yourself, something none of us could do."
"Yes, yes, that's amazing, you're better than all of us."
Little Sibao stretched out his chubby paws and waved away several of his fawning older brothers: "I don't want to hear nice things. Don't bother me, I hate you."
Da Bao followed behind, looking distressed, and said, "Si Bao, your brothers all know they were wrong, why are you still angry?"
I hate it! My brother says he knows he was wrong, but he won't even apologize.
snort.
"Don't follow me, go away, go away! I'm going to find my mother and father, I don't want to talk to you annoying beastmen!" Little Sibao rushed into the house with his short legs.
When Shen Miao came out of the house and saw Xiao Sibao's appearance, she was startled. She quickly hugged her and carefully examined the bumps on her face, feeling both sorry for her and amused.
"My goodness, where did you go? How did you come back with such a face full of bumps? Does it hurt?"
Upon seeing his mother, the little boy was extremely aggrieved. He pouted and said with red eyes, "It hurts a little, Mommy. So many bees stung me."
Shen Miao saw the beehive in her arms, reached out and took it. The beehive wasn't very big, so Xiao Sibao could carry it back.
"If you take someone's beehive, they're bound to sting you."
"Oh." Little Sibao didn't repent. Instead, he clenched his fist and said, "I'll take it again next time. If I run faster, they won't be able to catch me."
Shen Miao found it amusing, thinking that no matter how fast you run, you can't be as fast as a bee flying, but she didn't say it, lest she discourage the little one.
She simply said, "Only adults can take honeycombs. You're a little kid, that's why the bees stung you. Remember this: if you see a honeycomb, leave immediately and come find your mother, okay?"
The four little ones nodded obediently.
"Come find us too. We're your older brothers, and we can protect you."
Three little ones darted over.
Little Sibao snorted and pouted, saying, "I don't want to look for my brothers. They're too annoying."
Shen Miao was surprised. Xiao Sibao had always had a good personality, a gentle temperament, and was very dependent on his three older brothers. He had never lost his temper with them. What was wrong with him today?
Thinking this to herself, she couldn't help but ask. Little Sibao said angrily, "My brothers said my face looks like a butt. I'm not going to talk to them anymore."
Shen Miao: "..."
She took a closer look. After this period of recuperation and good food at home, Xiao Sibao had gained a lot of weight, his face was chubby, and the swelling from the bee sting made him look quite a bit like... well, you know.
However, even if it's similar, Da Bao and the others can't say that, it would hurt Zai Zai's feelings.
Shen Miao coughed and said to the three children in a serious tone, "How can you talk about your sister like that? Didn't your mother teach you that older brothers are supposed to protect their younger sisters?"
"Mother, we know we were wrong, and we apologized to Sibao later," Dabao said guiltily.
Shen Miao said, "It's good that you admit your mistakes and correct them. Don't do it again in the future, Sibao. Your brothers made a mistake, but they didn't mean it. Let's forgive them since it was their first time."
Thanks to Shen Miao's mediation, Xiao Sibao finally shook hands and made peace with his brothers.
Shen Miao took out the medicine and wiped the bumps on Xiao Sibao's face, but they wouldn't go away for a while, so she could only wait for them to heal slowly.
The little one has a very strong heart and says it's no problem, as long as it goes away.
After everything was done, Shen Miao began to deal with the beehive. The beehive was retrieved by Xiao Sibao with great difficulty. Although it violated the rule set by Shen Miao: no one can go to the mountain alone, Shen Miao didn't say much to her because she was in such a bad state.
I just told her that she must never go up the mountain alone next time.
Little Sibao obediently agreed.
Shen Miao took out the honey and made a bowl of honey water for the little ones. Seeing their longing looks, Shen Miao couldn't bear it.
My little one loves sweets.
The little baby drank the honey he had brought back and found it extra sweet, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.
Shen Miao also made a bowl for Qing Chen.
People these days have fewer opportunities to eat sweets, so they love to eat them, regardless of size.
Qingchen took the bowl and casually asked, "You went up the mountain again?"
"No, I'm at home processing the newly dried salt today. I haven't been up the mountain for a few days."
Qingchen paused, then asked in confusion, "Then where did this honey come from?"
Shen Miao told Qing Chen about Xiao Si Bao getting honey. Upon hearing this, Qing Chen became a little anxious. No wonder Xiao Si Bao refused to come into the room today; it turned out he had been stung by bees.
"How could you let her go into the mountains alone? She's still a little baby!"
Shen Miao said helplessly, "I don't want to either, but I can't keep them tied up in the house all day long. As soon as I get busy, they go out."
Qingchen's expression was still not good: "No matter what, the safety of the children is the most important thing. You should explain it to them."
“You think I didn’t say it?” Shen Miao glanced at him sideways. “I said it after what happened with Erbao last time. Xiao Sibao is still brave, daring to go in alone. Who does he take after? Probably from you.”
Qingchen remained silent.
He is indeed very brave, and his kids are just like him when they encounter trouble; they are fearless.
Shen Miao didn't want to say more, knowing when to stop. After all, she felt guilty for not taking good care of Xiao Sibao, and thankfully, Xiao Sibao was alright.
