Me at two years old, a queen!

After they finished howling, they plopped down on the spot and started playing with mud. When Ji Jianshu, wondering why they hadn't made a sound, came over, he saw...

Duoduo held up a lump of mud and said to Yangyang, "Baby~, this is a strawberry cake that Mommy made for you~"

"Are you happy? Hurry up and try it!"

Startled by the sight, Ji Jianshu quickly turned around and stumbled away, stepping in the adults' footprints.

"Xiao Shu? What are they doing? Why aren't they so quiet?"

Su Shao suddenly noticed that Yangyang hadn't cried after being away from him for so long, and he felt a little uneasy. He looked at Xiao Shu who had come over and asked...

"Uh...they're eating mud!"

"Oh, they're having fun. I was wondering why there was no sound!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tinglan abandoned her plan to go and take a look, but Lu Junxing strode over there after hearing this.

There's no way around it. Other kids might be playing house, but his troublesome kid would even sneak home to taste the pig feed—who knows what might happen?

When I came over, I saw Duoduo tugging at Yangyang's collar to wipe his mouth, and then tugging at An'an's collar to wipe it for her. An'an was holding a lump of mud in her hand, just like Yangyang.

He grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, and stared at her with a frown, asking...

"You're even thinking of eating mud now?"

"How many bites did you take?"

An'an hadn't yet grasped what her father meant, but Xie Han, fearing Lu Junxing might hit the child, quickly explained to others.

Lu Junxing was relieved and put the child down. He gave her a few more instructions, worried that she might be so greedy that she would want to eat the mud, and also worried that she might run around aimlessly. He dug a hole in the field with his foot.

Then he carried the troublesome child back in and planted it, and piled some mud next to the bottoms of the other two children sitting in the field: "Here! You sit here and make this mud into food for your parents later!"

"Daddy~, do you want some?"

An'an held a lump of mud, looking at the man, wondering if she should cook: "What do you want to eat? I only know how to make small cakes~"

Lu Junxing frowned as he looked at the mud in the children's hands, then said, "Suit yourself! Just don't steal any!"

"No way~, why would someone eat it secretly?"

The man used his feet to pile some more mud over the children before leaving, feeling relieved. After all, the two smarter kids had gone fishing, and having the three less bright ones all together was a bit worrying.

"Wow~, go An'an's dad! Catch so many fish~"

"Duoduo~, and my dad too! My dad wants to add...add the most oil~, even more than An'an's dad!"

"No way, Yangyang, other people's dads are too incompetent! They need to add super... super much oil!"

"My dad is especially...super bad! He needs super fuel!"

Shen Yu had originally intended to come and check, but upon hearing the two friends' usual "argument," and recalling the terrible experience of being controlled and constantly having to mediate between them, he turned back halfway to catch fish.

"Then An'an's dad will add a little bit more, and your dad will add a little bit more, Yangyang? Okay?"

While making the cake, Duoduo was also distracted by solving problems for her two friends. The staff nearby, worried the two children might fight, joined in their mud-building activity, trying to mediate and calm them down.

"Wow!"

"open!"

"Let go! Let go! Stop fighting!"

On the other side, they heard Shen Yu fighting with someone, while Ji Jianshu stood to the side holding back another village child. Seeing this, An'an immediately wanted to run over to help.

Unexpectedly, Lu Junxing had planted her quite deeply, and she couldn't even stand up. Just as she was about to crawl over, she saw that the adults had already separated them, so she quickly asked Xie Han, who was standing nearby, for help.

"Hanhanzi~, I want to go there!"

"Yes, we should go help. Brother Shen Yu is our good friend!"

Duoduo looked at the staff member who was hugging Yangyang, who was crying from fright, and said that she wanted to go over too, asking if anyone could help her.

Xie Han was about to refuse when she saw Shen Yu being dragged towards her by the arm by Shen Shaocheng, with Lu Junxing following behind carrying Ji Jianshu.

"Don't rush, they're coming!"

"Brother Shen Yu? Are you alright?"

"Brother Shen Yu~, we'll help you fight!"

An'an lay down on the field, sticking her little head out and saying to Shen Yu, who was being held up and was still defiant, "He's really good at fighting~, we'll help you beat him to death!"

"What are you fighting for!"

Seeing her like this, Lu Junxing put Ji Jianshu down on the ridge and picked up both the troublesome girl and Duoduo, one in each hand.

"Go get your laundry done at Duoduo! Don't cause trouble!"

Su Shao held Yangyang and comforted her, while also advising Shen Shaocheng, whose expression was not good, "Brother Cheng! Let's talk this out! It's common for kids to get into fights!"

"Even Yangyang, who cries so much, still gets into conflicts with her classmates at kindergarten! Why don't you take Shen Yu to my house to wash up first? We'll finish up here soon!"

"Brother Cheng! That person stole our fish first, and even secretly took the fish from our bucket. I saw it several times. Brother Shen Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up!"

Seeing Shen Yu standing stubbornly beside him, refusing to look at Shen Shaocheng, Ji Jianshu explained clearly and logically to his good friend...

"Then that person pushed him down! Cheng-ge! Brother Shen Yu did nothing wrong! You can't wrong him!"

"I understand, Xiao Shu! I didn't say he was wrong!"

Shen Shaocheng was furious upon hearing this, but had nowhere to vent his anger. He had indeed wanted to drag him back and beat him up before, but now that he thought about wrongly accusing him, he felt somewhat awkward as he wiped his face.

"Alright! Let's take the fish back first! Let the children and the two ladies go home first!"

An'an had no intention of going back. Standing next to Shen Yu, she grabbed his hand and angrily kicked Shen Shaocheng, saying, "Brother Cheng! How can you not help Brother Shen Yu? He's your precious baby!"

"That's right! Brother Cheng!"

Duo Duo was also a little angry and said to Shen Yu, "Brother Shen Yu! Why don't you come to my house and be my brother?"

"Haha~, I think it's a good idea! It's up to you whether you're willing, Cheng-ge!"

Jiang Yun, who had brought the village chief over, laughed as he looked at Shen Shaocheng, then leaned down to look at the angry Shen Yu: "So, Shen Yu, do you want to come to my house?"

"Hey~, Director Jiang! Don't make things worse!"

Shen Shaocheng was also somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't bring himself to apologize to a child. He tugged at Shen Yu a couple of times, but the child shook off his hand and ignored him. He was already quite annoyed.

The village chief did bring the child over to apologize. The child was a left-behind child, living with only her elderly grandmother who was hard of hearing, so no one had told her...

So the village chief came forward with the child to apologize. They can send the child away tomorrow, get the money to repair the village roads, and have a boat to make it easier to get in and out of the island. They can't let a little kid ruin everything at the last minute.

Shen Shaocheng was angry, but he still managed to be polite and exchange a few words. It was Su Shao and Xu Tinglan who stepped in and made some small talk, which eased the awkward atmosphere.

"I made a mistake. That's how we usually prepare fish! Otherwise, what's the point?"

Hitting someone is wrong!

Ji Jianshu: "An'an is right! What kind of gentleman sneaks around like that! Is stealing fish really that fun?"

An'an put her little hands on her hips and said smugly, "Is this interesting?"

Is it fun to hit someone just because you've been caught?

Duo Duo and Yang Yang weren't going to be outdone, joining the fray, all three of them saying in unison, "Is this fun?"

"You strange child, if I tell you to apologize, just apologize properly! Why are you saying so much?"

Seeing that the group looked rather grim, especially the child's father, who was supposedly an actor, the village chief quickly patted the child on the head and made him apologize properly.

Shen Shaocheng then stepped forward and said a few more polite words. Having just wronged the child, he was too ashamed to forgive on the child's behalf. He then looked at Shen Yu to see if he himself would forgive him.

In the end, Xu Tinglan, worried that the child would catch a cold, comforted Shen Yu and offered a few words of advice. Ni Hao also chimed in with a few words, and only then did Shen Yu nod.
