Huatou opened the lid of the steamer.

A burst of steam rose.

The children immediately gathered around.

Huatou shouted.

"Take as much as you can eat, don't waste it."

Soon, the steamed buns in the steamer were divided up.

The children held the big white steamed buns, and their faces were filled with joy.

Nini came running over at this time, looking at Huatou with empty hands.

Her big dark eyes were rolling around.

Then she broke off a big piece of the steamed bun in her hand and stuffed it into Huatou's hand.

"Brother Huatou, boys are strong and eat more."

Huatou was stunned for a moment, then took the steamed bun.

His face was full of happiness, and he stretched out his hand and gently scratched Nini's little nose.

Nini laughed and ran away.

Huatou smiled, just as he was about to put the steamed bun into his mouth.

A faint sigh sounded in his ears.

"Grandson, this is not good to eat."

Slippery's pupils shrank, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"Who?"

He glanced around, but saw nothing.

He raised his hand again, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

The white steamed bun in his hand turned into a disgusting mud ball.

Waves of rancid smell entered his nose.

He threw the mud ball on the ground with a flick of his hand.

Then he looked up at the children holding a ball of mud and yelled immediately.

"You can't eat it!"

The children looked at him blankly.

Some of them stuffed the mud in their hands into their mouths and chewed it with numb faces.

Seeing this scene, Slippery felt a chill in his heart.

He rubbed his eyes.

After opening his eyes again, the children regained their smiles.

The mud ball in his hand turned back into a white steamed bun.

For a moment, Huatou suspected that he had seen it wrong.

He looked at his palm, and the palm was clean.

At this time, a little boy ran over, picked up the steamed bun that Huatou had thrown on the ground, and asked in confusion.

"Brother Huatou, why did you throw away such a good steamed bun?"

A look of pity appeared on his face.

Nini also ran over at this time.

She took a look at the steamed bun in the boy's hand, which was covered with a lot of dust.

The next second, her eyes turned red, and her face was full of grievances.

"I hate you!"

As she said that, she threw a small half of the steamed bun in her hand towards Huatou, and then turned and ran away.

Huatou looked at a loss.

Liuguang, who was making dumplings, saw the movement here, and he also stopped his work and walked towards this side.

"What's going on?"

Liuguang looked at Huatou, his eyes full of questions.

Huatou said with evasive eyes.

"Brother Pidan, my hand slipped just now."

"The bun fell to the ground. Nini might think I disliked the bun she shared."

Liuguang's expression eased.

"You go and apologize to Nini. Just coax her and she'll be fine."

Huatou nodded and was about to apologize.

Liuguang suddenly called him.

"By the way, why did you ask everyone not to eat just now?"

Huatou was stunned for a moment, then said.

"It's okay. I might be too tired today and have hallucinations."

Hearing this answer, Liuguang nodded gently.

"Then you take a good rest later, and I'll share the dumplings with other children."

Huatou thought about it and still refused.

"It just so happens that I don't feel well and have no appetite."

"You share the dumplings with everyone."

"I'll go back to sleep after coaxing Nini."

Liuguang nodded and watched Huatou leave.

The director came over with a sigh and patted Liuguang on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Nini is just a delicate girl."

"Let Huatou coax her."

"The little girl's temper comes and goes quickly."

Liuguang looked at the director and nodded.

…………

In this orphanage, other children are crowded in a small room.

But because Nini is a girl, she has a separate room.

Huatou stood at the door of Nini's room and took a deep breath, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Nini, I'm sorry, brother accidentally dropped the steamed bun on the ground."

"Brother doesn't mean to dislike you."

Huatou shouted at the door.

There was a slight sobbing sound in the room.

Huatou sighed, then gently pushed the door open.

Nini was sitting in the corner with her arms around her knees.

The little head was buried in the crook of her arms, leaving only two pigtails swaying slightly with sobs.

Seeing this, the sly one walked over, sat down next to Nini.

"I'm sorry, can you forgive my brother?"

Nini raised her head, her face full of tears.

She looked at Huatou and sobbed.

"You lied."

Huatou shook his head and comforted him softly.

"Brother didn't lie."

"Brother may be too tired today, it's really not intentional."

Nini said half-believingly.

"You said that liars are puppies!"

Hearing this, Huatou reached out and gently stroked Nini's head, saying with a smile.

"Okay, okay, liars are puppies."

Hearing this, Nini burst into laughter.

"Then let's go out for dumplings."

Huatou shook his head gently.

"You go first, brother is a little tired and wants to rest."

Nini's black eyes turned around, and then patted her chest and said.

"I'll help my brother hide a portion later, otherwise they will all be snatched away."

Hearing this, Huatou's heart suddenly warmed.

He extended his pinky finger and smiled.

"Pin, don't lie to me."

Nini also extended her pinky finger.

"Pin, don't change for a hundred years, and you're a puppy if you lie."

After completing the agreement, Nini jumped out.

Huatou sighed slightly and then returned to his room.

He lay on his own small bed.

The bed was very short, and he couldn't even stretch his legs when he lay on it.

However, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Huatou looked at the mottled ceiling above his head and felt sleepy.

He turned over and his eyelids slowly closed.

As he turned over, the small bed creaked.

…………

Liuguang was holding a plate with a full plate of dumplings.

He brought the plate to the dean.

"Grandpa dean, this is yours."

The dean took the plate and looked at Liuguang with a smile.

He first reached out and picked up a dumpling from the plate and put it in his mouth.

Then he closed his eyes and chewed it carefully.

Liuguang looked at the dean with expectation.

"How is it, Grandpa Dean? Is it delicious?"

The dean slowly opened his eyes and showed a kind smile.

"The dumplings wrapped in small preserved eggs are really delicious."

Hearing this, Liuguang smiled shyly.

The dean said with a smile.

"I am an old man, I can't eat such good things."

"You can share it with other children."
