For the next few days, the tribe remained peaceful.
Qiao Xixi took advantage of the peace and quiet to plant some suitable seeds in her vegetable garden.
Qiao Xixi was up early one morning. The moment she stirred, the cubs opened their eyes. But since she didn't move, they all stayed in bed, lazing about with her.
Looking at all those pairs of big, bright eyes, Qiao Xixi's heart melted. The tender morning moment was shattered when the tiger cub crawled up and plopped down right on her face.
After getting up and eating breakfast, Xiya and the others dutifully helped clear the table.
"Mother, are we going to the forest to pick fruit today?"
"Mhm, there's a patch of woods on the back mountain with plenty of fruit. We'll go pick some today."
"Yay! I want to go with Mother," Qiao Qiao cheered.
A flicker of disappointment appeared in Qiao Ang's and Qiao Lie's eyes. They had to go hunting in the forest with Sunxiao today, so they couldn't go with Qiao Xixi.
