Xiao was filled with shame and indignation, and was extremely angry.

Listen to this silly girl, what nonsense she's spouting. How could we let her get involved in a fight like this?

"Erni, he didn't hit me. This...this...this isn't an injury. He kissed me."

"A blood relative?" Yang Erni blinked her big, round eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Did it hurt when you kissed me so hard?"

Xiao Re...

This is truly inexplicable.

"It doesn't hurt. Why are you asking so many questions when you're just a kid? You'll understand when you get married."

Yang Erni was very curious and wanted to understand it now.

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm half a year older than you. Little one, tell me quickly, how did he kiss you?"

"How can you kiss so hard your face is so red?"

To figure out this mysterious question, she cupped Xiao Re's face in her hands and gave him a big kiss.

"Look, why isn't my kiss red?"

The kiss wasn't very passionate, but Xiao was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red, and she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

How could her light touch compare to that man's?

Lu Yanzheng's tongue was nimble, hot, strong, and carried a tingling, electric current.

Xiao Reguang's body went limp just thinking about it.

"Stop talking. Only men kiss like that."

Xiao Re forcibly shoved a piece of sheet metal into her mouth to shut up her strange questions.

"Stop thinking about it, get to work! Cut this into a square, making the top two centimeters shorter than the bottom."

She then pointed to another piece of wood. "That one, thin it out a bit, it'll be used as the top board. Drill holes around it and drive in screw posts."

Once Yang Erni got busy, she quickly forgot about the kiss. When Xiao Re said the newly made scooter could make money, she immediately became very enthusiastic.

In just half a day, a brand new scooter was made. It can be propelled forward simply by holding the rope and pulling gently, or by pedaling. Novel and unique, it's suitable for both young and old children.

Xiao Re and Yang Erni had just finished eating when Chief of Staff Chen's wife arrived with Chen Dabao.

He was also carrying a piece of fine pork belly, two cans of malted milk powder, and a bag of free-range eggs.

Although Xiao said there was no need for a thank-you gift, the proper etiquette still needed to be observed.

"Hello Comrade Xiao, my daughter Da Bao has been wanting to buy your dog-shaped car since early this morning. She's been pestering me so much that I have no choice but to bother you."

Xiao Re was unfamiliar with the people in the family compound and didn't know how to address them, so he could only communicate in the most formal and rigorous official language to avoid making mistakes.

"Hello. You must be Chief of Staff Chen's wife? Please have a seat!"

"You're too kind. I'm really embarrassed to accept so many things. I've already paid for the child's train ticket. You really don't need these."

Chief of Staff's wife was also a straightforward person. Despite Xiao's repeated refusals, she still smiled and placed the things she brought on the table.

"Oh, it's just a little thing, not worth much. I just want to be friends with you!"

"My name is Xu Fanglan, you can call me Sister Lan."

Having lived in the family compound for more than half a month, this was the first time someone had taken the initiative to come to his door and say they wanted to be friends with him, and Xiao Re was a little flattered.

He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't bring himself to say "Sister Lan."

"Lan... Lan..." It's so difficult!

"I'll still call you Sister-in-law Chen!"

"Um, Sister Chen, please have a seat!"

"Erni, pour tea for Sister Chen. Bring out our chocolates, Maltesers, White Rabbit milk candies, Sachima, cream melon seeds, and nougat peanut brittle for Dabao."

When a table full of snacks was laid out, Xu Fanglan's eyes widened in amazement.

Is Commander Lu's family always this extravagant?

This box of chocolates is worth more than all the gifts she brought.

But Chen Dabao, that gluttonous cat, didn't know how to be polite at all. He started stuffing handfuls of Five-Clawed Golden Dragons into his mouth and ate one after another.

Like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Indeed, her family doesn't usually have this kind of extravagance. Even during holidays, they might have a hundred taels of fruit candy at most, let alone so many expensive imported snacks.

"Um, Comrade Xiao, the child is young and doesn't understand. Please put these valuable things away. Don't let the child waste them."

Xiao Re smiled, his generosity seemingly genuine.

"It's alright, the child likes it, let him eat it."

As she spoke, she stuffed Chen Dabao's pockets full as well.

"I like White Rabbit milk candy, take some home to enjoy slowly. But don't eat too much at once, it sticks to your teeth!"

"Thank you, sister!" Chen Dabao wiped the syrup from the corner of his mouth and gave Xiao Re a big smile.

"You're the best older sister I've ever met! I love you!"

Xu Fanglan felt both amused and ashamed, and shook her head helplessly, but her heart was warmed.

"Look at this child, so disrespectful. He's usually so unapproachable when it comes to greeting people. But he seems to get along very well with you."

"Um, Comrade Xiao, well... I'm a few years older than you, so how about I call you Little Sister? Thank you so much for my little Bao's foot injury. If it weren't for your excellent medical skills, he would have suffered so much more."

"From now on, if anything happens in the yard, just tell me. I'm definitely going to be your friend. Even if everyone calls me a vixen every day, I'll still associate with you!"

Pfft! Xiao Re couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Chen's wife is quite the humorist. Normally she acts like a refined lady, but when she jokes, she's surprisingly unconventional.

"Fine. Next time anyone sticks their tongue out, the two of us will go and smash their mouth in!"

"Fine. Not only will I slap her, I'll pluck all the chicken feathers off her!"

After getting to know him, Xu Fanglan discovered that Xiao Re was a straightforward and generous person who never spoke insincerely and had no hidden agendas.

If you treat her well, she'll repay you tenfold. If you offend her even slightly, she'll retaliate tenfold.

Actually, this kind of person is the most worthwhile to befriend. I was truly blind and foolish before to believe the rumors spread by those gossipy women in the army and to have a problem with her.

Xu Fanglan wanted to chat with Xiao Re a little longer, but Chen Dabao, who had eaten and drunk his fill, started asking questions.

"Pretty lady, where's your dog-shaped car? Can I ride it?"

"Okay, okay! That works, that works!"

Xiao Re immediately had Yang Erni lead Da Huang out and put the car strap around the dog's neck. She then sat on the metal cart behind, holding Chen Dabao.

"Big Yellow! Drive!"

At Xiao Re's command, Da Huang immediately understood the instruction, steadily exerted its strength, and slowly started running.

The rear wheels glided steadily along the ground, and as the big yellow car in front went faster and faster, the wind whistled in their ears, and Chen Dabao's hair was blown back, making him look like a little hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

He sat on it excitedly, so happy he felt like he could fly.

Wow! That's amazing!

"Big Yellow, keep going! Faster!"

"Wow! I'm so happy! I'm going to fly!"

.......

As soon as Chen Dabao started yelling through the loudspeaker, all the children in the family compound gathered around.

This time, after seeing Chen Dabao ride in the woof car, the children became even more unruly.

One by one, they imitated Chen Dabao, lying on the ground and throwing tantrums.

"Mom, I want to ride the dog car too! I want to fly!"

"Mom, why can Chen Dabao sit here but I can't! I don't care, I want it, I want it!"

"Waaah—Dad, even if you beat me to death, I still want to ride in that 'Woof Woof' car!"

.......

In an instant, the once peaceful and harmonious family compound was thrown into chaos again, with chickens running wild, dogs barking, and howling, just like the Japanese invaders entering a village.
