"Gather up the cards; it's time to wash up for dinner!" Mom's voice floated in from the kitchen.
"Hurry up, we can still play one last round. If my mom says she's preparing, it means she'll take at least 20 minutes!" Xu Qingfan dealt the cards, signaling everyone to join in.
At someone else's house, the little ones dare not be willful. Xia Xiaoxiao snatched the cards from Xu Qingfan's hands and neatly collected the rest on the table before saying to everyone, "We should listen to Auntie. After dinner, we can play more. Ignore Xu Qingfan!"
"Hee hee, let's listen to Xiaoxiao!"
"Ningning is also listening to Xiaoxiao. Teacher Guan says that kids who don't listen to their parents are bad children. Brother Qingfan, you're not allowed to be a bad child!" Lin Wanning stood with hands on hips, pointing at Xu Qingfan, and earnestly lectured him.
