As Mrs. Lin passed by the yard, she saw her son Gou Dan and the nearly three-year-old child from the fourth branch, Xiao Chu, playing with stones on the ground. An idea popped into her head.
She squatted down and said to Gou Dan and Xiao Chu, "Do you want to eat dumplings?"
When it came to food, both little ones nodded in unison, with Gou Dan being more expressive.
He threw the stone in his hand, rushed over to hug Mrs. Lin's leg, and started to act cute.
"Mom, I want to eat dumplings, I want to eat dumplings!"
As he spoke, he sniffed, and the snot that was about to reach his lips was sucked back into his nose by Gou Dan.
Looking at her snotty son, Mrs. Lin pulled out a cloth handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Gou Dan, "You little rascal, how did you get so dirty? Wipe your nose quickly."
Gou Dan took the handkerchief and, like a gust of wind, smeared all the snot on Mrs. Lin's handkerchief.
Though he was her own son, Mrs. Lin was utterly disgusted.
