The Third Crock of Gold 7

Xiaobao was awoken from his sleep presumably by the people talking in his dream, or maybe because Jiang Yeqian was too loud. 

"Mommy, do we... really have a big house?" he babbled.

"It's not just big, but also valuable," Qi Qingyao murmured softly as she patted the little guy's body, motioning for him to go back to sleep.

    

Xiaobao hugged his mother's leg again and fell asleep.

Li Qing had sent over some rice and dishes. After Si Jin went to the door to receive them, he closed the door once again. 

Qi Qingyao asked if they should wake the children up to eat but Si Jin said there was no need—the children had eaten lots of treats in the morning and were probably not hungry now. 

Qi Qingyao carried the children to the bed and covered them with a blanket. After that, she sat down at the dining table. 

It had been a while since the three of them had eaten a meal together and it tasted different than usual.
