Having finished his cake, Xibao tosses the wrapper and first licks the cream off his fingers, then with his face cream-covered, he approaches his grandpa, head tilted up. "Grandpa, lick, lick."
He actually wants his grandpa to lick the cake off his face!
Grandpa feigns an upset look, "When there was cake to eat, you didn’t think of grandpa, and now you do? Well, grandpa has dignity and doesn’t want to lick the cream off Xibao’s face."
"Lick, lick!" He’s not eating, Xibao winks his big eyes, feeling that he’s expressed himself pretty clearly.
Jiang Xiaoyue is doubled over with laughter, wiping his face with a handkerchief for him, "Oh, Xibao, let me tell you something, nobody likes to lick cream off your face. Now, let me wipe your face, and next time if there’s a cream cake, will you share with me?"
"Will you share with Huahua?" Jiang Xiaoyue also started calling Zhenghua ’Huahua’.
Zhonghua overheard this from inside the house, exasperated he says, "Xibao is so naughty, taking the cake away, if I have tasty food, I also will not let him have it."
Feng Qingxue laughs, "What delicious food do you have? If you don’t give it to Xibao, will you give it to Auntie instead?"
"Egg Cake!" Zhenghua announced loudly.
Xibao, overhearing this, runs inside from outdoors, grabbing his hand he exclaims, "Huahua, eat egg cake!".
Zhonghua tilts his head upwards with a snobby, "I’m not giving you any."
Xibao is not happy, he gives Zhonghua a slight push, full of fury he exclaims, "Bad Huahua, ate my cake!"
Everyone could see that Xibo only pushed Zhonghua lightly, especially Guo Yan, who noted that Xibao didn’t treat Zhonghua the same way as Su Ping, she just watched with amusement as the two children argued.
Yes, they were arguing, their faces red and their veins bulging.
"I’m not the bad guy, you’re the one not sharing your cake with me; I heard everything." Zhonghua’s eyes were even welling up with tears.
"You ate my cake!" Xibao points at the spoon in Zonghua’s hand that he still hadn’t put down, passionately asserting that you ate my cake, you must let me eat your egg cake, if not, then you’re a bad guy. "Huahua, the egg cake is mine!"
Zhonghua is left spinning by his reasoning, "I have the egg cake at home, why don’t we go eat it together?"
"Okay!" His answer was quick and crisp.
After lunch, as expected, Xibao was pulling on Zhonghua’s hand to leave with Guo Yan, and he didn’t forget to wave at Feng Qingxue and Fubao on his way out, "Little sister, I’m going to eat cake, be a good girl and stay at home!"
The remaining adults are falling about laughing.
Jiang Xiaoyue rubs her belly, "Xibao is so fun, if I had a camera, I’d definitely want to capture all his actions."
"Does anyone want to hitch a lift back to the military area in my car? If not, I’ll leave first." Zhao Hanzhi’s work is quite busy, he can’t stay for long, so he got up to say goodbye to Grandpa and Feng Qingxue.
Chen Lin stood up, "I’ve got work at the hospital, I’ll take a ride with you"
"Okay, let’s go then."
Jiang Xiaoyue waved her hand, "You can go ahead with Chen, the rest of us will take the bus back in a short while."
Since she said so, Zhao Hanzhi didn’t insist anymore.
Grandpa went to see Zhao Hanzhi and Chen Lin off, and when he returned, he didn’t go back inside the house. The sisters in the room began to chatter away.
Talking about things near and far, chatting freely.
Bai Xue suddenly mentioned Chen Chen, "Jiang Xiaoyue, you’re always in the know, tell me, why did Chen Chen ask to borrow fifty bucks from me?"
Bai Xue has been living in the compound for some time, and she got out of touch with her comrades from the regiment, many things she didn’t know, recently she moved back to base, and because of her falling out with the Su family, many people kept her at arm’s length.
