General Xiu, who was reading on the couch, also looked up.
While rummaging through the cabinets, Xiu Shengli nodded, "Xibao is such fun, chubby and playful. He just treated us to some cream cakes, but he didn't even have a bite. I gave him some Steamed Marmalade Rolls instead."
"Cream cakes? That's generous, isn't it? Why did you guys eat, and he didn't?" Grandma Xiu was curious.
General Xiu replied: "Little Fatty is always generous, very popular with the seniors."
Xiu Shengli animatedly recounted the day's happenings to his grandparents, gesticulating and chattering away. His memory was impressive, reproducing events with great detail. Finally, he added, "Su Ping is just too mean, and so is Su An. I'm not going to play with him anymore, always seizing things from us kids and resorting to hits!"
General Xiu and his wife exchanged glances, communicating a shared understanding.
