Upon arriving, the mother and child first went to catch some fish for their meal. After feeding the little one's belly full, Wen Wan went to find the shepherd boy from last time to have him take Jinbao to play for the day.
The sheep grazing area wasn't far, just on the hillside behind them.
Jinbao particularly liked those sheep, petting them until his hands were full of wool. Noticing his mother was sitting on the grass, lost in thought, he walked over to Wen Wan smelling strongly of sheep and sat down beside her.
Wen Wan wrinkled her nose, a bit disdainfully, "Stay away from me."
As she spoke, she scooted away.
Jinbao insisted on staying close, matching her movements, then pressed his little hands into the grass, propped his chin up, and posed like a little adult, "Why aren't you happy today, Mother?"
Wen Wan perfunctorily asked back, "Who says I'm not?"
"Clearly, you are."
