Chapter 834: Childhood Chapter 834: Childhood Editor: Atlas Studios Born strong, Little Bear had been practicing martial arts with Qi Haoran since a young age.
With his qinggong beginning to take off, his footsteps were light, allowing him to carry Little An up and down the tree as nimbly as a monkey.
No idea if it was because Little An had enormous trust in Little Bear, or because he wasnât afraid at all.
In any case, not only was Little An not nervous being carried around like this, he even let out happy shrieks.
As he looked around excitedly with his big eyes, he even picked fruits to show off to Tiger Head and Little Lion who were standing under the tree.
It made the two little ones cry out below and struggle to climb up the tree.
Mu Yangling instructed the two guards to hold them against their necks and let them pick the fruits.
As for climbing up the tree, it was no go.
They werenât insistent on climbing up the tree anyway, for their main aim was participation.
They instructed the guards to run around so that they could pick a few plums here and there.
Little Madam Xia looked around.
Seeing that her son was always being carried around by Little Bear, she was no longer nervous.
Instead, she had the time to look at the fruits on the tree and instructed her son to pick the ones near him.
When it was within Little Anâs arm range, he would reach out to pick it and throw it to his mother.
If it was out of reach, he would climb a bit along the tree branch if he felt like it.
When he didnât feel like it, he would instruct Little Bear to pluck it and throw it to his mother.
After picking a basket full, Mu Yangling stopped them and distributed the fruits in each small basket for them to carry back.
Little Anâs basket could only hold two handfuls, while Tiger Headâs and Little Lionâs baskets were more like handicrafts at the size of an adultâs two palms.
Mu Yangling put a few plums in for the sake of putting them in, and let Little Bear and the guards carry the rest.
Little Bear looked eagerly at the baskets in the guardsâ hands and said, âI can carry more.â Mu Yangling rubbed his head and said, âThey wonât take your plums anyway.
I know youâre capable of carrying them by yourself, but my heart aches.â Little Bear said reluctantly, âAlright, then let the guards carry it.
But Mother, didnât you say that one should do their tasks by themselves?
If they carry it back, shouldnât we give some to them?â âItâs up to you.â Little Bear made the decision.
âThen letâs give them some.â However, Tiger Head was unwilling to share any food with others.
He ran over, grabbed the basket, and looked at his big brother eagerly, looking like he would cry if Little Bear suggested sharing the plums again.
Little Bear fell into hesitation.
Although the guards were nice, it seemed like his younger brother was more important.
Mu Yangling felt that her son was too embarrassing, so she carried him in her arms and looked away.
âLetâs have meat soup tonight.â Tiger Head exclaimed and drooled again.
He pointed at the carriage decisively and urged his mother to leave quickly.
Little Lionâs breathing also quickened.
He climbed up his motherâs leg and said incoherently, âMeat, meat, meatââŹÂŚâ Mu Yangling: âââŹÂŚâ Really?
The first word that came out of her sonâs mouth was âmeatâ?!
From this, it could be seen that these two children were indeed her and Qi Haoranâs biological sons.
Like them, these two little ones were carnivores.
When Qi Haoran walked into the dining room at night, the two children instantly sat up straight and shouted at their father with spoons, shouting, âMeat, meatââŹââ Qi Haoran staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He stared at his two sons in surprise.
âTheyâve learnt to speak?â Little Madam Xia burst out laughing and said, âFourth Brother, the two children have been clamoring for meat for the entire afternoon.
Because Ah Ling said that they can only eat meat when youâre back, these two children have been waiting for you.â Qi Haoran was first delighted, then embarrassed.
He asked, âWhat was the first word these two children learned?â âMeat.â Mu Yangling looked at him helplessly.
âHurry up and wash your hands.
Your sons are waiting for you to start eating.â Seeing how anxious his two sons were, Qi Haoranâs heart ached.
âYou can eat first even if Iâm not back yet.
Donât let the children starve.â Mu Yangling instructed someone to get the meat soup for the two children and said, âYour sons wonât starve.
They already had milk, steamed egg, rice, and half a bowl of vegetable soup.
How can they be hungry?
I was waiting for you to come back to stop them from overeating.
These two brats donât have self-control when it comes to having meat soup.
But considering theyâre still young and their stomachs are still weak, they canât eat too much.â Little Madam Xia was also mixing the meat soup for Little An.
When she heard this, she nodded and said, âEven though Little An is seven months older than them, I donât dare to give him too much meat soup.
Fourth Brother, hold them back a little and donât let them eat too much.â Qi Haoran nodded.
As Little Bear stuffed meat into his mouth, he looked at its three younger brothers with pity.
He felt truly blessed that he had grown up and could eat as much as he wanted now.
Just as this thought came to his mind, Mu Yangling picked up some vegetables for him and looked at him with a smile.
âLittle Bear, you have to eat more vegetables so that you can grow up healthy, understand?â Little Bear nodded and stuffed the vegetables into his mouth.
When he reached out with his chopsticks again however, he still reached for the meat dishes.
As Tiger Head and Little Lion stuffed meat soup into their mouths, they looked at their older brother and dazedly felt that they had to grow up quickly so that they could eat meat freely.
Little An, on the other hand, was more picky about food than them.
He didnât eat meat that was a little tough, nor did he eat vegetables that didnât suit his palate.
Therefore, he couldnât quite understand his younger brothersâ eagerness to eat meat.
As he chewed the meat soup in his mouth, he tilted his head and looked at them curiously.
Perhaps because of this, this child grew slower.
Although he was more than seven months older than Tiger Head and Little Lion, as time passed, the two younger ones caught up to him in height.
When Little An was three years old, Tiger Head and Little Lion, who were only a little over two years old, were already as tall as him.
When the three children stood together, one would think that they were triplets.
Having inherited their fatherâs excellent genes, Tiger Head and Little Lion were very active.
Ever since they could walk unsteadily without anyone supporting them, the two little ones had started to run around the entire Qi Residence and Fan Residence.
Little An disdained to play such games with them, but Little Bearâs martial arts lessons had become more intense.
Most of the time, he practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall and spent his remaining time in the study.
In addition, his Treasure-Bear Academy kept him plenty busy.
When it came time to play, he would bring the three little ones everywhere to cause trouble.
Little An was very puzzled and didnât understand why Little Bear still liked to play such games at his age.
He felt that he couldnât let the twins follow Little Bear to climb trees to dig out birdâs nests, or digging out a ratâs hole in the grass anymore.
Therefore, he took the initiative to stand up and say, âLetâs play a game of treasure hunt.â Tiger Head and Little Lion had just caught a bug from the grass to mess with it.
When they heard this, they asked, âWhatâs a treasure hunt?â âWeâll each take out a treasure and hide it.
Then, everyone will search for the treasures.
Whoever finds it will own it.
In the end, whoever hides their treasure in the most obscure place will win.â Little Lion tilted his head and asked, âWill there be a reward for winning?â Little An thought for a moment.
âThe reward is watermelon.
The loser will give the winner his share of the watermelon.â Tiger Head drooled.
He wiped his mouth and nodded repeatedly, shouting, âI want to win!â What he truly meant was, âI want to eat watermelon!â
