"Found a little sister?"

Cheng Qiqi thought she had misheard.

"Mom, look, I found this little girl!"

Jin Sui'an, with his short legs, trotted over to the little girl who was still eating candy: "Look, I found it!"

Jin Sui'an puffed out his chest, his eyes full of pride, and looked at Cheng Qiqi with sparkling eyes, as if saying: Praise me, praise me!

"Our An'an is so great!"

Cheng Qiqi looked around but didn't see any adults. She squatted down and looked at the little girl whose face was dirty and who was eating the candy that Jin Suian had given her.

The little girl's clothes looked very nice, made of the finest silk, but she was very thin.

Upon seeing her arrive, she hid behind Jin Sui'an, looking timidly at Cheng Qiqi.

"Little sister, where are your parents?"

As soon as Cheng Qiqi spoke, the little girl hid behind Jin Sui'an, lowered her head, and looked timid!

"..."

Cheng Qiqi's smile froze on her face. While she might not be stunningly beautiful, her face was certainly approachable. So why did she feel... in front of this young girl?

"Little sister, this is my mother, isn't she alright?"

Jin Suian said in a clear voice, gently holding the little girl's hand, grinning, "Mommy, if the little sister doesn't talk, and she doesn't have any family, can she be my little sister?"

Jin Sui'an's desire for a younger sister couldn't be more obvious.

Cheng Qiqi almost burst out laughing, reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks, saying, "No."

"what……"

Jin Sui'an, with a sullen face, tightly gripped the little girl's hand and said, "I don't care, I picked up this little girl, so she's mine."

"..."

Cheng Qiqi looked helplessly at Jin Yun, who was a few years older, and asked, "Xiao Yun, where did you find this little girl? Didn't you see any adults?"

Judging from the fabric of her clothes, she shouldn't be a girl from the village.

"no."

Jin Yun shook her head. She was losing her baby teeth and even spoke with her lips pursed. She said, "An'an and I came to pick rabbit grass and saw the little girl lying there."

Jin Yun pointed to the grass at the foot of the mountain.

"this……"

Cheng Qiqi glanced at the obvious marks of a roll, then looked up at the long, high hillside. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it have rolled down from such a height?

"Little sister, come here, let Auntie check you out."

Cheng Qiqi turned around and looked at the little girl being comforted by her daughter. Upon closer inspection, she noticed several scratches on the little girl's clothes from the branches...

Cheng Qiqi's eyelids twitched, and she asked, "Little sister, are you hurt anywhere? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"Ouch, let me warm you up."

Jin Sui'an volunteered, took the little girl's hand, pursed her lips and started blowing air into her, comforting her as she did so: "Don't be afraid, little sister, it won't hurt anymore if I blow on it."

The little girl grinned, revealing sweet dimples.

"..."

Cheng Qiqi watched in disbelief. It turned out that her own daughter had an urge to be an older sister.

"Xiao Yun, how long have you found the little girl?" Cheng Qiqi asked, seeing that the little girl didn't have any obvious injuries. Logically speaking, someone should have come looking for her soon, right?

"Hmm, about half an hour?"

Jin Yun tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "When An'an and I found the little girl, she was lying in the grass under the tree over there. It took us a lot of time to pull her out of the grass, and then we helped her wipe the mud off her body."

"It should have taken about half an hour."

Jin Yun wasn't quite sure either.

"Did you hear any voices calling for someone?"

Cheng Qiqi asked again.

"no."

Jin Yun shook his head and said, "An'an and I are waiting here because we're afraid someone will come looking for us."

"You did a great job, you saved the little girl!"

Cheng Qiqi praised.

"Mom, me too! I was the one who found the little sister first." Jin Sui'an, who was standing nearby, quickly ran over, afraid that she wouldn't get praised.

Cheng Qiqi's smile deepened as she looked at Jin Sui'an, who seemed to be seeking praise, and earnestly complimented her, "Our An'an is great too, she discovered the little sister!"

Jin Sui'an, who was being praised, was a little embarrassed, her little face flushed.

"Mother, let's go home quickly."

As Jin Sui'an spoke, he pulled the little girl and said, "Little sister is dirty, she needs to take a bath and change her clothes."

"My little sister is hungry too."

Jin Sui'an patted her stomach as she spoke, "An'an is hungry too, I want to eat Mom's chive pancakes!"

"Wait a minute, my sister's family should be coming soon."

Cheng Qiqi reached into her pocket, or rather, took out three pieces of mung bean cake from her spatial storage: "Here, have something to eat first."

"Thank you, Mother."

Jin Sui'an looked at the three mung bean cakes, paused for a moment, and said, "Mom, we'll each have half a cake, and you can keep the rest."

As she spoke, Jin Sui'an took a piece of mung bean cake, broke it in half, and said, "This is for my older sister, this is for my younger sister, and this is for An'an."

Cheng Qiqi looked at the remaining piece and a half of mung bean cake in her hand, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. She divided the remaining piece and a half of mung bean cake into their hands: "Mother has eaten, you can have it."

Cheng Qiqi stood up, staring at the direction where the little girl had fallen. Had she come to the wrong place? Or did the little girl's family dislike her because she was a girl?

"Mom, can't we really take the little girl home?"

After eating the mung bean cake, Jin Sui'an asked again, looking longingly at his little sister, "I'll take her home to take a bath."

"no."

Cheng Qiqi shook her head and refused, saying, "The little girl is lost. Her family, her mother, must be very, very worried."

Jin Suian frowned deeply, pouted, and said, "Never mind, if An'an gets lost, she'll definitely be anxious to go home, and Mother will be worried too."

"Little sister... we won't take her home."

After calming himself down, Jin Sui'an started comforting his little sister: "Be good, little sister, your mother will be here to find you soon!"

Cheng Qiqi looked at her daughter with tender eyes. How could her An'an be so cute!

Time passed slowly, and Cheng Qiqi vaguely heard someone shouting.

"Candy..."

"Tangtang, where is Mommy's Tangtang?"

At the woman's anxious shouts, Cheng Qiqi immediately responded, "Here, here!"

Before long, Cheng Qiqi saw a woman dressed in a red riding outfit walk over. She was dashing and unlike the average woman kept in the backyard.

Upon seeing the little girl next to Jin Sui'an, she immediately rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly, exclaiming, "Tangtang, where did you run off to? You scared your mother to death!"

The little girl blinked, didn't say anything, and patted the woman's shoulder.

"You're the ones who saved Tangtang, right? Thank you!"

The woman spoke gratefully, but suddenly, when she saw the mung bean cake in her daughter's hand, her pupils contracted!
