Chapter 1121: Chapter 1123 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao was somewhat reluctant, "Mom, he’s too young and likes to wander off. The market is crowded, what if we lose him?"

"How could that happen? Axian is so well-behaved, when has he ever run off? He listens way better than you did when you were little. Be nice, just take him with you. Dad and Mom are going to check on the lychees in the Lychee Forest today," Nan Feng continued picking vegetables rapidly, those were cabbages just harvested from the fields yesterday.

As soon as Xia Dabao heard the word "lychees," her eyes lit up instantly, "What? Are the lychees about to ripen?"

"Where is it that quick? The skins aren’t even red yet," Nan Feng said.

Xia Dabao could only feel disappointed, then looked at Nan Feng, "Mom, I like lettuce, why do you always cook these cabbages?"

"Because your dad likes to eat cabbage," Nan Feng replied without looking up.

Xia Dabao pouted, she knew it, mom was biased, always favoring dad the most.

Just then, Axian woke up, his hair all fluffy, and seeing him, Xia Dabao knew that Nan Feng definitely didn’t have the time to take care of Axian, so the task of combing Axian’s hair fell to Xia Dabao.

In the village, those with younger brothers and sisters were generally cared for by the older sisters, and Xia Dabao was no exception, but her feelings for this little brother were somewhat indescribable. Axian was only five years old this year, and Xia Dabao was already seven when he was born. She needed to be coddled by her parents at that age, and then Axian was born, naturally becoming the center of the parents’ attention. Xia Dabao went from being the little darling to the older sister, having to share everything with her little brother.

Perhaps it was then Xia Dabao became more outgoing as she grew more independent of her parents’ care. She started running around the village, chasing ducks, catching chickens at Auntie Zhao’s, fighting with the big yellow dog at the head of the village, getting into all sorts of mischief, and then making Nan Feng and Dad go around making apologies.

It wasn’t until Xia Dabao grew into her teens and became more sensible that she began to rein it in, especially since her little brother would save half of anything he got to eat for his sister. That’s when Xia Dabao started to take on the responsibilities of being an older sister.

Xia Dabao finished combing Axian’s hair and then gave him a twig to brush his teeth with. Axian carelessly splashed water on his clothes, and Xia Dabao couldn’t help but scold him, "Look at you, already five years old and still can’t brush your teeth right."

Nan Feng reminded from the side, "Baby, you didn’t learn to brush your teeth until you were six."

"..."

Mom, can you give me some face, please? I’m the older sister after all.

Axian tugged at the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh, but seeing Xia Dabao looking like she might get angry, he promptly held back.

"Let’s go, let’s go sell rabbit meat at the market," Xia Dabao pulled her brother along.

...

Dad came out of the room, first going over to hug Nan Feng, then looking at the siblings who’d already left the yard, he asked, "Is Abao going to town to sell rabbits?"

"Yeah, she wants to trade for some candied haw sticks, so I told her to take Axian as well," Nan Feng answered.

"That’s fine, Abao is brave and meticulous. She won’t have any problems taking Axian. Besides, she knows martial arts now and can take on more than ten people if needed," Dad said, and after speaking, he started to wash the pot, ready to cook the greens for Nan Feng.

As Nan Feng washed the vegetables, she said, "We are both so busy. If we were less so, we could go to the market with the kids. I really want to try the gold cakes from the Fumanlou, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a meaty flavor. It’s been a long time since I’ve had something so delicious."

Dad couldn’t help but ask, "Then why don’t you let Dabao bring a couple back? We’re not without money. Once we’ve sold this batch of lychees, we can store our money in the bank, right?"

Nan Feng laughed, "Ah, it’s not easy for Abao to catch a rabbit. Let her spend the money she gets. No need to buy for me, or she’ll end up teasing her own mom for being a big glutton again."

"When have you ever not been a glutton?" Dad said with a laugh, "You’re a big glutton, that’s why you gave birth to this little glutton."
