When You Grow Up

"I just want to ask you something, Sister-in-law. Should we let Zheng'er and Rong'er go downstairs to play? There are so many of us around now. I promise to keep an eye on them and not play hide-and-seek with them anymore.

"I heard the men talking about you quietly just now. They said you always forbid the children from playing—they'll be bored to death if they always stay indoors."

She felt embarrassed saying this to An Jiuyue. After all, she had caused trouble by suggesting to play with the two children.

An Jiuyue thought about it and agreed with her.

Zheng'er and Rong'er were older now. Staying in the microcosmic space all the time was not good for them. They had to come out and play.

"You can leave first. I'll bring Zheng'er and Rong'er downstairs later."

"Okay." Qian Yiyun nodded. "I'll leave now, Sister-in-law."

"Mhm," An Jiuyue responded.

After a while, she called the two children out of her space.
