Bringing the four children along was indeed a bit of a hassle, but An Jing was willing to do so.
With the children under her watchful eye, she felt more at ease.
Moreover, all four children were now very fond of the outside world. They probably found it fascinating because there were many things they had never seen before, and they felt a sense of novelty and freshness.
And whenever they saw something new, their eyes would sparkle with intense curiosity and an endearing charm.
Now An Yiyun, the little one, could walk on his own without support, but not as quickly as his three brothers. He tottered unsteadily, always looking as though he might fall, yet never quite doing so.
Su Yi Jing, Su Yixing, and An Yiqing, the three little guys, could already walk quite well, no longer wobbly, and they had quickened their pace considerably.
Of course, this increase in speed was relative to their earlier pace; in the eyes of adults, they still moved at a sluggish crawl.
