The women and children had headed to the side room, and just as they sat down, they saw Chu Hanyan, hand in hand with Dabao, rushing in. Little Miss Chu was usually slow in her movements. She spoke, walked, and even ate slower than others. This was the first time Chu Hua and the others had seen her running, her small face flushed with urgency.
She ran over to Chen Afu, pouting and said, "Auntie, I missed you so much, and I missed Dabao." After saying this, she lay down on Chen Afu's lap.
Dabao said, "Mother, I told my sister how much we missed her, to the point where we couldn't eat, and she was moved to tears." Indeed, there had been several instances when he missed Little Miss Chu and his mother to the point where he couldn't eat, back when Chen Afu was still in Dingzhou and hadn't returned home.
