Because Yue'er's blisters on her feet had not yet healed, the Old Village Chief had said that they would have a donkey cart to take them to the town in a few days. Hence, the three children stayed on for a few more days.
The people in the village were simple and honest, and as they saw that the three children were smart and delicate-looking, they treated them well and gave the children some of whatever food they had at home.
That day, the two grandchildren of the village chief came to Hao'er's house with a few eggs in their hands: "Yue'er, we've brought you some food."
Chen'er opened the door, his eyes falling on the eggs in their hands. Yue'er peeked around from behind him, her eyes smiling when she saw the two boys.
"Here, these are the eggs that Grandma just cooked. We brought you some." The two children handed them the eggs in their hands and asked, "Do you want to go out and play with us?"
