The two sisters looked confused, not understanding why she suddenly said that.

"I have rabbits at home!" An An said with a smile, "I caught one! On the mountain!" She pointed in the direction of the mountain, "We have all kinds of good things on this mountain!"

She excitedly recounted, "When I caught the rabbit, it already had baby rabbits in its belly. After I came back, it gave birth to many baby rabbits, and the baby rabbits gave birth to baby rabbits again..."

"We have so many rabbits that I can't even keep them all at home!

"There's a rabbit farm in our village, and most of the rabbits have been moved there. My mother goes there every day to check on them..."

"Our rabbit has babies again. My mom said they won't give birth until after the Chinese New Year. Then we'll catch some bunnies for you to play with. It's so much fun!"

"Also, I feed the chickens in Uncle Zhou's yard too!

"Chickens are so cute when they're young! They're yellow and fluffy, and they chirp like this..."

She imitated the crowing of a chicken very well.

The two sisters' expressions gradually softened as they listened to her chatter.

An An was not polite. She said she was thirsty, so she asked them to pour her walnut juice. But after drinking the third bowl, she said, "Mom said I can't drink too much, it will make me get hot. I'll just drink water!"

The two sisters exchanged glances. This little girl is really obedient.

An hour passed in a flash, and An An's little head began to move little by little. Fortunately, she had moved to the kang and was not afraid of falling to the ground.

Zhou Mian panicked and looked at her sister, "What should I do?"

Zhou Qi frowned slightly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this moment, An An's little body fell down and she fell asleep on the kang.

There was a moment of blankness in the minds of the two sisters. They waited for a while, and when they heard the little guy's steady and long breathing, and his small body rising and falling with his breathing, they quietly moved over.

An An was sleeping soundly, with two blushes on her fair face. Her hair, combed into a bun, was shiny black. Her curved willow-shaped eyebrows were as black as her hair. Her eyelashes were thick and long, fluttering slightly like the wings of a butterfly resting on a flower in summer.

There was a dense layer of sweat beads on the tip of her little nose, and her pink little mouth smacked her lips from time to time.

She truly deserves the description of "as pretty as jade", no wonder she dares to call herself "the cutest".

Zhou Mian was a little uneasy, "Sister, what should I do?"

Zhou Qi thought about it and felt that such a young child would not cause any harm to the two of them, so she pulled open a quilt to cover An An, and pulled Zhou Mian to sit far away and watch.

An An was already wearing a lot of clothes, and the kang was hot, so she covered herself with a quilt... which made her even hotter. She lifted her little feet and kicked the quilt off her body.

Feeling a slight coolness, she couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

This time, he stretched out his hands and feet and wrote a relaxed character “大” (big).

The two sisters were startled at first and stood up at the same time. When they found that she was sleeping soundly, they calmed down and sat down again.

Zhou Qi went over and pulled a corner of the quilt to put on An An's stomach.

Time passed by little by little, and the two sisters watched An An sleep quietly. Their hearts gradually calmed down, and even a hint of tenderness appeared on their faces.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. Qin Ying said from outside, "Miss Zhou, I'm here to deliver the meal."

This time it was a big stew with steamed buns made from two grams of flour, and two side dishes.

Putting down the food, Qin Ying smiled and said, "Is my daughter asleep? I'm sorry to have troubled you two girls. I'll take her back right away."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian opened the door, and Qin Ying walked in. Seeing the corner of the quilt draped over An An's belly, the curve of her lips widened. She bent down to pick up the child and gently patted her on the back to comfort her.

An An, although she didn't open her eyes, had already determined who it was from the familiar smell and muttered, "Mom, I'm still sleepy."

"Mother knows," Qin Ying replied softly, "but it's time to eat, and you should wake up too!"

Having said that, she still took off the small quilt from her waist, wrapped it around An An, nodded to the two sisters, and walked out.

The two sisters watched the mother and daughter leave, locked the door, and turned to look at the food on the table.

Zhou Mian was a little uneasy: "Sister, no one is trying the food."

"I'll eat first." Zhou Qi stepped forward and stopped her sister from grabbing the food. She tasted everything first, making sure it was ok before saying, "It's okay."

The two sisters shared the food, and the portion was just right, enough for both of them to eat until they were 80% full.

After the meal, I drank some walnut milk and felt very satisfied.

Not long after, Qin Ying came over to collect the dishes and completed the handover at the door without entering again.

The two sisters felt very comfortable.

There was firewood in the corner of the wall. Zhou Qi put a piece of firewood into the stove and then took a candle to light it with the fire in the stove.

In fact, they are both very familiar with housework. Since they moved into that family, they have done all kinds of hard work.

It was only after she came to live with her grandfather that she became pampered again.

The two sisters were silent for a long time under the candlelight. Why did the room feel so much emptier without An An?

After a long while, Zhou Mian whispered, "Sister, you said... they really raised rabbits? Can they raise wild rabbits?"

Zhou Qi shook his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Zhou Mian nodded subconsciously, but quickly shook his head, "No, I don't want to!"

There were too many people outside and she was afraid.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly I could hear the sound of reading outside. However, because there were several walls between us, I couldn’t hear it clearly.

Zhou Mian asked curiously, "Is there a school here?"

Zhou Qi listened carefully and shook her head: "It's in this yard. I heard Miss Qin's voice. She is the master. Is there... An An in here?"

Zhou Mian listened carefully for a long time, but felt that it was not very clear, so he walked outside and put his ear to the door. This time he heard clearly that the person teaching was indeed Qin Ying.

Students...why are there both male and female students?

"Sister," she walked back, very puzzled, "this place... seems different." It was different from any environment they had ever lived in.

Zhou Qi was a little absent-minded.

When they were young, their family hired a teacher for them. Besides their sisters, there were also cousins who came to study with them, as well as maids who accompanied them in their studies. There were more than a dozen people in total, filling up a classroom.

The teacher taught a lot of subjects. In addition to reading and writing, he also taught piano, painting, and flower arrangement. Students could even choose the subjects they liked. The teacher taught according to their aptitude...

It was hard at that time as I had to complete the corresponding homework every day.

But now, such a peaceful, tranquil and relaxing life is no longer possible...

"Sister, why are you crying?" Zhou Mian hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sister's tears.

"It's okay," Zhou Qi hugged her sister in her arms, "I just... miss home a little... miss our old home, which we can never return to..."
