Gu Xiaobei didn't expect all these things to have happened after their return to the Capital City. Not wanting to interrupt, he just sat quietly and listened.
Lu Songyuan was planning to dig up the grapevines (in autumn, they would take the grapevines off the racks and curl them up in Grape Gully, covering them with wheat straw and soil to protect from frost.) to set up the grape racks, so he asked Gu Xiaobei to watch over the two children at home. Wen Xiuqing helped him with the grapevines.
Children always love to help out when adults are working, so Xiaopang and Mo Wang also wanted to contribute.
Feeling helpless, Gu Xiaobei could only lead the two kids out to play near the main gate.
When Bai Xiaolan returned from bathing with Bai Mingzhu and Zhou Siping, she saw the two kids crouching and digging in the ground. Squatting with a smile, she asked, "What are our little Xiaopang and Mo Wang up to?"
