In the night breeze, Zhui Feng and Wang Cai were still quite excited, howling and running in front of the carriage, while the two parrots had already fallen asleep in the grass basket Dabao was holding.
The carriage rocked and swayed, and within moments, the younger siblings of The Yangs were lulled to sleep. Usually at home, they would have already been asleep. Chen Afu and Mrs. Huang each held one, snugly wrapped in small blankets.
Although Dabao was also a bit sleepy-eyed, she didn't ask her mother to hold her and even took care of the sleeping parrots, covering them with a cloth towel.
Children from poor families mature early. Chen Afu looked at Yang Chao in his arms, then at Dabao, and felt a sourness in his heart. He whispered apologetically, "Big Brother Chao is a guest."
Dabao rubbed her head against Chen Afu's arm and said, "Mm, I know, I won't be jealous of Big Brother Chao."
Mrs. Huang softly said, "Dabao really is a good child."
