Under the comfort of Shen Qing and Sikou Yao, Gu Xihua and the five little boys finally stopped crying. Their eyes were red, but they followed Shen Qing back to the group with smiles on their faces.
Shen Qing then asked Gu Xihua and Gu Xiaohui with a smile, "Xiaohua, Xiaohui, have you all eaten your fill?"
Gu Xihua and Gu Xiaohui nodded and replied softly, "We're full."
The youngest, Yu Xiaoguang, looked covetously at the roasted meat and tugged on Gu Xihua's sleeve, raising his head to look at her, "Sister, I still want to eat meat..."
Gu Xihua comfortingly patted Yu Xiaoguang's head; she had just said they were full, but this little one was exposing her bit of a white lie, making her somewhat embarrassed as she sneakily glanced at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing showed her a warm, indulgent smile, "Then everyone can eat two more skewers, but after these two, no more. Otherwise, you won't have room for dinner tonight!"
The children bobbed their heads vigorously.
