In the afternoon, as the work-ending broadcast sounded, Zhou Jiao loaded up a jug with braised pork and went to the old courtyard with Ping'an in her arms.
The three brothers, led by Xi Zi, who were returning from school with their backpacks, saw Zhou Jiao from a distance and happily ran over.
"Little Auntie, why did you go to the provincial city again? I missed you so much." Xi Zi complained as he took the jug.
Xiao You nodded repeatedly, "We went looking for you twice with Big Brother, but the door was locked."
"Little Auntie, where's my Little Uncle?" Xiao Zuo looked around and, disappointed at not seeing Zhang Guoqing, asked.
Hearing the voices of his brothers, Ping'an struggled happily to get down.
"Little Auntie, let Brother down; I can take care of him." Xiao Zuo You grabbed Ping'an's hand, refusing to let go, happily.
Listening to the children's words, Zhou Jiao quickly shook her hand, "Let's go in first. It's not easy to unfasten Ping'an here."
