Exhortation

Qiao Mei stood up and waved the children over, bringing them to wash their hands.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong. Wash your hands then go and eat," Qiao Mei said.

"Xiao Wei, go and get your Grandpa Qiao Qiang. Let's eat together," Li Gui said to Zhang Wei.

"Aye! Alright!" Zhang Wei folded the clothes and put them into his school bag before carrying it and running out. He did not say anything and kept everything to himself. The truth was he was overjoyed, and actually more worried that nobody would see the school bag that Qiao Mei made for him.

Qiao Qiang was sitting in the courtyard when he saw Zhang Wei rushing over.

"Grandpa! Come, let's go to my house for dinner," Zhang Wei said.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qiao Qiang smiled and stood up to walk back with Zhang Wei.

"Grandpa, look. My elder sister Mei Mei made this for me." Zhang Wei showed off his small cloth bag.
