Amidst the talking and laughing, Juhua saw Banli gazing longingly at Hulu and Li Jingwen eating sweet rice wine. He swallowed continuously, whining with a drawn-out voice. With his hands propped on the edge of the stroller, his body strained forward like a little monkey. Unable to hold back a smile, Juhua hurried over, crouched in front of her son, and asked, "Banli, do you want to eat some sweet wine? You don't know how to eat it yet. Later on, when you're older, Mother will make some for you, alright?"
After speaking, she kissed him.
Banli grabbed her index finger with his small hand, babbling cheerfully with bright eyes. Meanwhile, Cong was tugging at the handkerchief on her chest, stuffing it into her mouth and tearing at it vigorously with her two newly grown, rice-grain-sized teeth. Juhua quickly pulled the handkerchief out.
