My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

The sweltering heat of midsummer has not yet subsided, and if you count the days, there are only a little over half a month left of Le Bao's summer vacation where he can play wildly.

The rice in Ranran's hometown fields was all ripe. There were only her parents and younger brother at home. Her parents' health was not very good, so she had to rush back to the countryside to help them harvest the rice.

As Zheng's son-in-law, Shen Shilan naturally had to go back and help with the work.

You should know that he earned Ranran's parents' approval through his own hard work.

As it turns out, no matter how well you do outside, when you return to your rural hometown, you still have to work in the fields and herd cattle on the mountain.

However, the thought of the whole family spending all their time in the fields during the busy farming season, with no one to look after their youngest son, is quite unbearable.

Shen Shilan's eyes darted around, and an idea immediately came to mind.

He looked around and his gaze settled on Le Bao, who was munching on a peach.

He cleared his throat and walked up to Shen Wanning and her husband:

"Ningning, I want to take Lebao to the countryside to help us take care of the children."

"Second Brother, are you sure you want to take Le Bao back with you and have her look after the child?"

Shen Wanning abruptly stopped mid-air, her brows furrowed, her face filled with disbelief.

Le Bao?

Going to the countryside?

Babysitting?

These questions, all put together, left her completely stumped.

Lu Chenyue glanced at Shen Shilan sideways, a hint of speechlessness in his eyes, looking at him as if he were a brainless idiot.

"Actually, Le Bao is usually quite well-behaved. With me watching over him, I'm sure I can handle taking care of him."

Shen Shilan didn't even have the confidence to say that.

However, he lacked confidence, while the chubby little girl next to him was very enthusiastic.

Le Bao, who was squatting by the coffee table, immediately dropped the peach pit he was munching on, ran over to Shen Shilan with his short legs, grabbed his trouser leg with his little hands, and nodded vigorously with his round little face up:

"Mmm, Uncle! I'll be a super good boy and I'll definitely take good care of your little brother!"

Le Bao stayed at home for the entire summer vacation, and went to the amusement park, the beach, and the taekwondo gym. He was already tired of all of them.

Upon hearing that she could go to the countryside with her uncle and aunt to experience a new environment, she was overjoyed.

Looking at the little guy's expectant and pleading eyes, Ranran's heart softened.

"Wanning, why don't we let Lebao come back with us for a few days?"

"Second sister-in-law, I'm really afraid that she'll cause you trouble if she goes over there."

It's the busy farming season right now, and everyone needs to be working in the fields. If this little rascal goes over there, not only will she be unable to help, but she'll also distract everyone by constantly looking after her.

"It's okay. My mom and I stay home with the child during the day and won't let her go to the fields to join in the fun. Don't worry."

Seeing that her mother was still hesitant, Le Bao immediately clung to her, her two chubby little hands tightly gripping Shen Wanning's clothes, gently shaking them back and forth, her body twisting from side to side.

"Mommy, Mommy, please, please let me go back with my uncle and aunt, okay?"

After speaking, she turned to look at Lu Chenyue beside her, her eyes slightly curved, deliberately putting on a pitiful and aggrieved expression, and drawling out her words:

"dad……"

Lu Chenyue was a doting father, even though he was reluctant to let his daughter leave his side for a few days.

But when he met his daughter's wet, expectant eyes, the words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

He coughed lightly, turned his head to Shen Wanning and said, "Why don't we just let her go?"

"Dad is the best! I love Dad the most!"

The chubby boy's expression instantly changed, all his grievances vanished, and he skipped and jumped into Lu Chenyue's arms, pressing his little mouth to plant a drool-covered kiss on his cheek, showering him with compliments.

"Alright, you're allowed to come along, but you're not allowed to cause trouble in the countryside. You have to listen to your uncle and aunt in everything."

Le Bao straightened her little chest, made an awkward little salute with her hands, and answered in a clear voice:

"Okay, Mom, I'll be a good girl!"

After much pleading and cajoling, Le Bao successfully secured the opportunity to go to the countryside and happily began preparing for the trip.

This was tough on Lu Ziguan, the clingy little devil in the family.

The next morning, Lu Ziguan woke up and, as usual, looked for his sister everywhere.

The little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes, and stumbled out of the bedroom barefoot, searching for Le Bao all over the house.

Sofa gaps, under dining tables, coffee table compartments, and storage cabinet drawers.

He bent down and searched every corner where people could hide, his small figure moving back and forth in the living room, so anxious that a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

Lu Jianguo walked in carrying a water glass. Seeing his grandson's flustered appearance, he asked:

"Xiao Bao, what are you looking for?"

Lu Ziguan raised his bewildered little face, gesturing wildly in the air with his tiny hands, his voice muffled and unclear:

"Master, hehehe, I want it."

"Xiaobao, your sister went back to her hometown in the countryside with your uncle and aunt, and she won't be back for several days."

"Grandpa will play with you, okay? Let's go to the yard and feed the little fish."

Lu Jianguo bent down and patiently coaxed him.

Lu Ziguan wouldn't listen at all. His short legs strode towards the door, his little finger pointing outside, stubbornly repeating:

"No, sir, I'm looking for... hehehe."

"It's sunny outside, let's not go out."

Lu Jianguo quickly stepped forward and took his restless grandson into his arms.

Trapped in his grandfather's arms, Lu Ziguan's frustration at not being able to find his sister erupted instantly. His lips trembled, and he burst into tears, large tears streaming down his face. He kicked and thrashed his arms and legs, determined to go out and find Le Bao.

"Waaaaaah, hehehe... I want to hehehe..."

Loud crying filled the entire villa, and no matter how Lu Jianguo tried to soothe her, he couldn't stop it.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Xiang Jia Hui and Shen Hua Qiang walked in.

The couple had anticipated that their grandson would throw a tantrum after Le Bao left, so they came early to comfort him. However, as soon as they stepped inside, a deafening cry pierced their ears.

Xiang Jiahui quickly stepped forward and reached out to hug Lu Ziguan:

"Don't cry, Xiaobao. Grandma brought you some cookies."

No matter how much his grandmother handed him snacks, his grandfather brought him toys, or Lu Jianguo took him to see the koi in the fish tank, the three elders took turns trying to coax and amuse him, but Lu Ziguan still couldn't stop his tears and would sob and murmur about his sister from time to time.

After much commotion, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate. Xiao Nanfeng arrived with his son, Xiao Ziyi, for a visit.

Lu Ziguan only stopped crying when he saw Xiao Ziyi arrive.

But this quiet didn't last long.

As soon as Xiao Ziyi entered the room, he started looking for someone.

He searched all the places Lu Ziguan had already looked for again, while still chanting "Hehehe, hehehe".

After searching around and not finding Le Bao, her face immediately fell.

He walked shakily to Lu Ziguan:

"Heh heh, gone?"

He was asking him where Jie Jie had gone.

Lu Jianguo explained to Xiao Ziyi again that Le Bao was not at home.

It would have been better if he hadn't asked; his question immediately brought Lu Ziguan back to his grief.

The two little ones, unable to find their sister, exchanged a glance. Lu Ziguan, who had just managed to stop crying, felt a surge of grievance again. The two little ones hugged each other face to face, their heads touching, and burst into loud sobs.

Xiao Nanfeng stood aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He turned to look at the three exhausted old men and helplessly shrugged.

He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
