After arriving home, Gawain went to heat up the rice while Ding Shiping went into the house.

Ding Xiaolan looked at the busy Gao Wen and opened her mouth several times to speak, but nothing came out.

"Xiaolan, go see Xiaoping and comfort him." Gao Wen suddenly said.

Ding Xiaolan was silent for a moment before agreeing.

The meal was ready. When Gawain saw that the two of them hadn't arrived yet, he went to call them.

"You don't know how to eat, you still have to wait for me to call you." Gawain called at the door of Ding Shi's bungalow.

It took a long time before the two voices sounded.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry, so I won't eat." Ding Shiping's muffled voice came.

Then Ding Xiaolan also said she didn’t want to eat anymore.

Gawain opened the door and walked in. Ding Shi lay flat on the bed and sobbed softly, while Ding Xiaolan sat beside him to comfort him.

"Xiaolan, you go to eat first."

Ding Xiaolan hesitated and didn't raise her buttocks for a long time.

"You're still afraid that I'll hit him."

When Gao Wen said this, Ding Xiaolan stood up and walked away with three steps.

"Xiaoping, get up and eat."

Ding Xiaoping paused for a moment, then choked up and said, "I don't want to eat it."

"I just peed my pants. What a big deal. What are boys afraid of?"

Ding Shiping always had his back to Gawain, and Gawain did not walk over to look at his face, but she knew that he must be secretly wiping his tears.

"Okay, sister-in-law doesn't blame you, what happened today was not your fault in the first place.

If you meet that kind of person in the future, you don’t need to get used to it and leave immediately, do you understand?”

Gawain gently enlightened Ding Shiping, but Ding Shiping's tears became even fiercer.

Such heart-warming words made Ding Shiping want to vent all his grievances.

When Ding Shiping was almost done crying, Gawain called him again.

"Let's go eat. If you don't want to eat, I won't either."

Gawain said this, and Ding Shiping stood up after a few moments of hesitation.

The two entered the main room one after another, and Ding Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them finished eating, Ding Xiaolan did not move her chopsticks. She hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."

"It's okay, you are cowardly. If I'm not here next time, don't let yourself and Xiaoping be bullied, you know?"

"Yes, I understand, I will protect Xiaoping." Ding Xiaolan responded happily.

Ding Xiaoping looked at the two of them and said, "Sister-in-law, third sister, I will also protect you."

After hearing this, Gawain smiled and said, "Okay, I will wait for my little man to protect you from now on."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they ate, and became very close to each other.

After dinner, Gawain asked the two children to go back to the house to have a good rest and not think about anything.

In the evening, Gao Wen and Ding Xiaolan had prepared dinner, but Ding Shilei hadn't come back yet.

They ate late at noon, and when they made dinner, it was already quite late.

After waiting for a while, Gawain said: "Let's eat first and leave some food for him."

As he said this, Gawain took out some vegetables and put them in the pot to warm them up.

After the three of them finished eating, Ding Shilei came back dragging his exhausted body.

Ding Xiaolan hurriedly went to heat food for him. Gao Wen asked her to heat up the milk, and then went back to the house, leaving the space for the three siblings.

Ding Xiaolan and Ding Shiping looked eagerly at Ding Shilei who was devouring his food.

Ding Xiaolan said distressedly: "Second brother, did you not eat at noon?"

"I ate a lot in the morning and I'm not hungry at all." Ding Shilei said casually.

How could I not be hungry? When I walked to the county town, they were just selling things. Before noon, I was hungry.

In the past, they didn't have enough to eat every day, so they didn't feel so uncomfortable when they were hungry.

Now that I'm full, I feel extremely hungry.
