Niu Niu looked at her brothers and then at her own little belly, and said in a crisp voice, "Mom, my belly is small, I can eat just one piece, let my brothers have the rest."
"Oh my, Niu Niu is so good, come, let uncle hug you."
"Niu Niu, why don't you ask for one more piece and give it to Second Uncle, okay?" Wang Hongmin chimed in, teasing his niece.
Niu Niu glanced at her mother and whispered, "Mom, can I... can I have five pieces?"
Yuan Chun had already taken out the candies, giving each nephew three pieces, and handed Niu Niu three pieces too, asking, "Niu Niu, why do you want five pieces?"
"One for myself, one for Uncle, one for Second Uncle, one for Grandma, and one for Mom. One, two, three, four, five, five people need five pieces of candy."
The little one counted on her tiny, tender fingers.
The cuteness melted Yuan Chun's motherly heart.
