Zhuang Auntie stood up from her seat, "How come it's so busy tonight?"

She said as she went to open the door, and saw Le panting heavily at the door.

"Le?" Zhuang Auntie looked at him in surprise.

Si Le was panting with flushed face, "I... I knocked because I saw the lights on..."

"What's wrong, did something happen?" Zhuang Auntie hurriedly let him in.

Si Le hemmed and hawed, "Do you have..." As he walked in, he saw the cute little baby sitting at the table holding a bowl and drinking happily.

"Xiao Shitou!" Si Le ran up to him anxiously, "Where did you run off to? I've been looking for you for half a day!"

Seeing his brother, Xiao Shitou was not afraid either, and stretched out his soft arms and called out softly for his brother to hug him.

Si Le picked him up, first smelling his sweet milky scent, followed by the delicious fragrant rice smell.

He couldn't help but swallow.

Xiao Shitou held out his dirty bowl for him to eat, "Brother, eat."

Si Le smiled, "Brother doesn't eat, Xiao Shitou eat."

Zhuang Auntie said in surprise, "Xiao Shitou is your child?"

Gong Sister-in-law served Si Le a bowl of egg drop soup, "Come and sit down to eat, and talk slowly."

Si Le sat down shyly, and Xiao Shitou sat next to him licking his bowl.

"Xiao Shitou is my brother," Si Le said, "but we don't have the same father."

"My mother didn't find out she was pregnant until her belly was very big. That man didn't have children, and my mother agreed to give birth to Xiao Shitou for a sum of money. My mother didn't care about him, but that man did."

"Xiao Shitou was given away as soon as he was born, I hadn't even seen him yet."

"A few days ago Xiao Shitou was sent back because that man did a DNA test and said Xiao Shitou wasn't his pup."

"My mother didn't care, and the man left after abandoning him, so I could only take care of him."

Si Le scratched his head, "But I really don't have much time, so I had him wait for me at the school gatekeeper."

"I forgot to bring him food today, he must have been hungry."

Zhuang Auntie was already listening with tearful eyes. She couldn't help but hold Xiao Shitou in her arms, "Oh, the poor child, he's so young and still has to go to school."

Ding Sha thought for a moment, "This can't go on like this. How about this, when you go to school in the future, just leave Xiao Shitou here."

"I'll pay you a salary every month."

Si Le eagerly nodded, "I can, I can! I'll tally it up very quickly!"

Ding Sha handed a stack of cards to Si Le, "I'll have Gong Sister-in-law wait for you at the door two periods before class ends, just give her the order sheets."

Si Le took the thick stack of cards, and was immediately filled with motivation.

He would definitely do a good job on the task the boss lady gave him!

The weather was slowly getting cold. Ding Sha got up early that day, and pulled Xiao Jun to find the old brine she had asked for from Aunt Zhang in the village from a pile of jars.
