The adults burst into laughter again.
"Why don't you go call your sister out? Tell her to stop tending the fire and come watch the little fishes with you, okay?"
"Okay," Tuantuan replied articulately. Without moving an inch from her spot, she yelled toward the kitchen at the top of her lungs, "Sister, come out quickly and help Tuantuan!"
Tuantuan was far too clever. Knowing that Gou Ya loved doing chores, she didn't ask her to come play, but instead asked for help.
Before Gou Ya could answer, a voice rang out from outside the door. "Tuantuan, didn't Mommy tell you not to be lazy? Walk over there and tell her yourself."
"Mommy!" Tuantuan scrambled up from the ground, but Zhang Ci Hao beat her to the door and opened it.
