Surviving the Apocalypse with Five Children [MTL]

Chapter 6-10

Chapter 6: Gathering Supplies [4]

Back at home, Wen Xiaoxiao looked at her five precious children, sitting obediently on the sofa. Some were watching TV, others playing with blocks, all being well-behaved.

Wen Bei heard some noise and looked towards the door.

"Mommy is back," Wen Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Mommy~" Wen Bei got off the sofa, ran over, and hugged Wen Xiaoxiao's leg, looking up with a cute, spoiled expression.

"Mommy, I've been good today!" Wen Bei had a look of 'praise me quickly, mommy' on her face, amusing Wen Xiaoxiao.

"Good job, my darling. Mommy will go prepare dinner for you all now."

However, Wen Xiao, didn't seem pleased. Seeing that his mom didn't pay attention to him, he pouted his lips, looking quite displeased.

His chubby face was filled with unhappiness as he thought, "Isn't it obvious? Mommy isn't coming to cheer me up."

Wen Heng and Wen Yang also got off the sofa, hugging Wen Xiaoxiao's legs and saying, "Mommy, we've been good too."

Wen Xiaoxiao patted their little heads and looked at the two still sitting on the sofa. One was sulking, and the other was watching everything with a cold demeanor.

Frowning, Wen Xiaoxiao wondered why her oldest son seemed so mature when he was only four years old.

Then, she looked at the fourth child, Wen Xiao, who was sulking with a frown on his little face, showing his emotions plainly.

Going over, she touched his little head and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Xiao Xiao? Feeling upset?"

"I'm not!" Wen Xiao lied with his eyes wide open.

He thought, "Isn't it obvious? Mommy didn't come to comfort me. She's so clueless."

"Xiao Xiao, Mommy is going to cook now. Later, I'll take you all to a secret place, okay?" Wen Xiaoxiao said softly.

Sitting on the sofa, Wen Mo's eyes brightened. He felt that his mommy had changed somehow, though he didn't know why.

Wen Xiao nodded, urging her, "Mommy, go quickly!"

Wen Xiaoxiao went to cook, leaving the living room with her five precious children.

Wen Bei went to Wen Mo's side and hugged him, asking in a gentle voice, "Big brother, do we have a dad?"

Wen Bei was curious, as she knew that among the five of them, her big brother was the smartest and most decisive, so asking him was a safe bet.

Wen Mo looked at his little sister lying in his arms, his young voice sounding naive, "Don't we have a mommy? Maybe we were born from tadpoles."

Wen Bei giggled and teased her big brother, "We were born from Mommy, silly. How can you not know that, big brother?"

Wen Heng and Wen Yang, who were closer to Wen Bei, also laughed heartily.

Wen Mo's little face looked annoyed, and Wen Bei asked again, "Big brother, where is our dad then?"

"I don't know." Wen Mo might be smart, but he was still only four years old. He knew they had a dad, but he didn't know where he was.

At this moment, Wen Xiaoxiao, who was being pestered by the kids, sneezed multiple times.

"Time for lunch!" Wen Xiaoxiao came out of the kitchen carrying the meal.

The children fell silent and went to wash their hands.

After having a simple home-cooked meal, Wen Xiaoxiao led the five children into her secret place.
