Xiaomi hurriedly ran towards her big brother, who was sleeping on the grass with his legs crossed.
Lately, she had been joining father at night to catch eels, and the harvest was quite good. However, as a child, she needed more sleep. Not sleeping well at night meant catching up during the day.
So now, although he was supposed to accompany Xiaomi to catch eels, he was actually just playing with her while getting some shut-eye.
Earlier, he used to help poke around eel holes, but now he didn't even do that, just found a place to nap.
Thankfully, the paddy field was quite a distance from the riverbank, and since Xiaomi was smarter than the average child and wouldn't run around recklessly, the shallow water in the field wasn't much of a concern.
"Big brother, big brother, hurry, we need to go over there," Xiaomi quickly shook her big brother awake.
Big brother squinted at the direction Xiaomi was pointing: "Isn't that Liu Hai's family's field?"
