About fifteen minutes later, Dabao returned with two little girls in tow. One was Xiao Qing. The other one, who appeared to be about six years old, was wearing a little satin vest and bore a striking resemblance to Luo Mingcheng.
Teardrops glistened on Xiao Qing's cheeks as she stamped her foot at Luo Mingcheng and said, "One blink and you were gone, you scared me to death!"
With an air of grandeur, Luo Mingcheng retorted, "You can't control me. I like to come and play with Dabao." He didn't have the nerve to admit that he had a sweet tooth and wanted to come to Dabao's to eat sweet dates.
Dabao then introduced the other little girl to Chen Afu. She was Luo Mingcheng's older sister, Luo Mei.
Luo Mei seemed much more sensible than Luo Mingcheng. With a beaming smile, she greeted Chen Afu and chastised her little brother, saying that his absence had worried their grandmother and her to death.
