Aunt Xiao smiled and glanced at her, then turned her head back and said, "It's more interesting when dogs bite each other."

With a "puchi" sound, Xia Wanniang laughed out loud.

Xiao Zilin didn't quite understand what the two meant, so Xiao Zimu next to him explained to him in a low voice.

When they arrived outside the city gate, it was just after noon and many villagers were already waiting for the ox carts to go back.

When Niu Wazi saw the four of them, he immediately smiled and waved, "Auntie Xiao, are you going back now?"

Aunt Xiao took a few quick steps and came to his side: "Go back."

Niu Wazi smiled and asked them to get on the bus: "There are fewer people going back now, so you don't have to hold your children. Just sit anywhere. I will only charge you two cents."

Xia Wanniang took out four coins and handed them to Niu Wazi: "You have to pay for this child's seat, otherwise we won't ride in your ox cart."

Niu Wazi scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Aunt Xiao.

Aunt Xiao nodded with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is right, you can accept it with peace of mind. I will come often in the future and will inevitably trouble you."

Niu Wazi stopped trying to refuse, put the four coins into his pocket, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The ox cart will leave soon, is there anyone who wants to go back to the village?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one wanted to go back, he pulled the ox cart slowly towards the village.

Xiao Zimu and Xiao Zilin sat aside, whispering to each other and looking at the scenery in the distance from time to time.

Niu Wazi was driving the ox cart and chatting with Aunt Xiao beside him: "Aunt Xiao, did you buy anything when you came to the city?"

Aunt Xiao waved her hand and said, "No, I brought the two children to see the doctor."

Niu Wazi probably knew the situation of the Xiao family: "Didn't the other child come?"

"No, his father is at home with him." Aunt Xiao was not at all nervous when she lied.

The two children heard it but pretended not to hear it, as if it wasn't them who were being talked about.

Xia Wanniang listened quietly and had no intention of interrupting.

Halfway through the journey, both children felt a little sleepy, their little heads nodding and their eyes almost closed.

Xia Wanniang held the two children on her lap, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiao Zimu and the other man were startled and tried to struggle to sit up.

"Go to sleep if you're tired. I'll call you when we get home." Xia Wanniang said this and stopped talking.

Maybe because they were too sleepy, they fell asleep leaning against her after a while.

Aunt Xiao saw that it was a bit difficult for her to hold two children alone, so she reached out and carefully took the sleeping Xiao Zilin and held him in her arms.

Xia Wanniang did not refuse. She held the two children together as they slept comfortably on their own.

She adjusted her posture so that Xiao Zimu could sleep more comfortably.

Xiao Zimu leaned closer to her arms. With his closed eyes, she could see his long eyelashes and his upturned nose. He looked more like a child than usual.

Afraid that the two children would be cold, he took out two thin jackets from his backpack and covered them with them.

When the people on the ox cart saw that the two children had fallen asleep, they couldn't help but speak in a much lower voice.

Arriving at the entrance of Liuyang Village, Niu Wazi slowly stopped the cart and said, "Auntie Xiao, the two children are asleep. How about I take you inside?"

Aunt Xiao shook her head: "No, you have other guests here, please leave."

Niu Wazi didn't force it and drove the ox cart away on the official road.

Xia Wanniang held Xiao Zimu carefully. The little guy didn't look very fleshy at ordinary times, so he felt a little heavy when she held him.

Aunt Xiao turned her head and looked at her: "Don't underestimate these three children. They are not light at all."

Xia Wanniang and her friends did not leave the village, but made a detour before returning to the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that the courtyard gate was still closed, I knew that Xiao Chiye and Xiao Zisen had not returned yet, and I didn't know how they were doing now.

As soon as Aunt Xiao opened the door, she saw something jumping out, which scared her. If Xia Wanniang hadn't freed up a hand to support her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Xiao Zimu was awakened by Xia Wanniang's movement. He rubbed his eyes and reached out to feel around: "Are you awake?"

When Xiao Zimu heard her voice, he was stunned for a moment: "Please put me down."
