Manbao looked on and also wanted to eat.
So, she reached out and took one, although Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao had actually eaten breakfast already, of course, not a formal breakfast.
Their family had money, and they were growing boys, so they could have a small bowl of noodles or something else to eat every morning.
But seeing Manbao eat, they felt hungry again.
So the two kids squatted down too and each chose one of their favorite buns to eat.
Manbao also picked up a bun for her Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang, who squatted next to the three little ones and ate with particular embarrassment.
After they had their fill and drank some water from the bamboo tube, Manbao and Bai Shanbao felt ready to hit the road.
So they took the lead and headed out of the village.
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang didn't notice anything amiss and merrily followed behind, thinking that just accompanying Manbao for the day was enough fun.
