Coming out of the village chief’s house, Tianjiao walked to the corner of a group of houses. The ordinary mud ground raised a cloud of dust when she stepped on it. The whole village seemed to be a little quiet, with only the sound of her little feet tapping.

At this time, some people were working, some were resting. The sun was still very bright, and no one was here. She looked up at the clouds above her head that blocked the sun, and whispered, "Tian Dao Daddy! Tian Dao Daddy!"

After two consecutive hits, the face was touched.

She narrowed her eyes and said sweetly, "Dad, this candy is delicious. Jiaojiao left one for you!"

The broad, invisible hand rubbed her head, and the rejection was very obvious.

Tianjiao waited for a long time, but he didn't see the two candies in his pocket were gone. He understood, pursed his lips, and asked in confusion: "Dad, why don't you want it?"

This time, there was no response.

Tiandao’s father is gone.

She kicked the stones under her feet somewhat disappointedly and trotted back to Old Zhang's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Dad!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and just as he was about to poke her little face again, he heard a man in the room respond: "Hey, Jiaojiao is back?"

The chubby little girl rushed in, took out the candy from her pocket, and handed it over like offering a treasure: "Dad, dad! This is the candy that the village chief's aunt gave me. Have it!"

The gentle breeze followed her in, but stopped at this moment, secretly tapped her forehead, and disappeared.

Tian Dao: “…Haha!”

Zhang Rui, the father who was presented with the treasure, smiled foolishly: "Eat it, Jiaojiao. Dad doesn't like sweet food."

"Ah?" Tianjiao looked at him in confusion, his face full of puzzlement. His big eyes clearly said: You don't even like such delicious candy?

Zhang Rui laughed, wanting to pinch her chubby face, but just as he stretched out his hand, he saw the dirt on his hand, so he retracted it, buried his head in wiping the newly repaired bed, and asked, "Who gave you this candy?"

Tianjiao replied: "Auntie from the village chief's family, I'm going to see Xiao He."

Zhang Rui's mind flashed back to the miserable state of the child yesterday. Thinking of how difficult that family was, he wanted to ask her not to go over. However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them and waved his hand: "Jiaojiao, go out and play. It's too dusty here."

Such a lovely little girl should be carefree. It’s just Sun Hong, he can beat her!

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui remembered that he saw Sun Hong when he was out for a walk this morning. He was not seriously hurt by the blow. He just got a bump on his head and bled a little. He was really lucky.

But I'm glad that he's fine, otherwise he might suspect that his new daughter might be a monster in the mountains, and his words would come true.

Tianjiao nodded, jumped out, and in the living room, he couldn't help peeling off the paper on the candy.

…

This time, she got a red one with some fruit printed on it. It smelled deliciously sweet and sour. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, her second aunt, who had kept the door closed, suddenly opened the door and came out, holding Dabao, who seemed to have just woken up, in her arms, smiling kindly.

"Jiaojiao, what are you eating?" Ding Yushu asked with a smile.

Tianjiao spread his hands, pinched the red candy with his tender little fingers, and said proudly: "This."

Ding Yushu pushed her son forward, hiding the greed in her eyes. This was candy. Her family was ordinary, and this kind of thing could only be bought in the city. There was no such thing in the county. Therefore, she had only eaten two when she got married and during the Chinese New Year. But the taste was still fresh in her memory. She couldn't help drooling when she thought about it. Her voice became softer: "Look, your brother doesn't have much to eat. Should you give him some?"

Tianjiao was a little reluctant, but still nodded and took out another one from his pocket: "Jiaojiao, I have another one, give it to my brother."

Ding Yushu was delighted. For the first time, she felt that this girl was quite pleasing to the eye. She was pleasing to the eye in the way that she was easy to deceive. She immediately reached out to take it.

But as soon as I touched it, I saw a dark hand snatching the candy away.

Tianjiao was not on guard. When he saw that it was his father, he was a little puzzled: "Dad, do you want to eat?"

Ding Yushu also saw it clearly and said angrily: "Zhang Rui, are you sick? You are making trouble again!"

Zhang Rui rolled his eyes and smiled sarcastically: "Yes, I am sick. Is this the first day you know about it?"

After saying that, he glanced at Ding Yushu, then turned to the confused girl and said, "Your brother is still young, he can't eat candy, he has to dissolve it into water."

Tianjiao nodded in ignorance, and put the candy he had been holding in his hand into his mouth. He was confused by the sweet taste and asked happily: "Then melt it into water, Jiaojiao, can you taste it? Let's taste it."

Zhang Rui snorted and laughed: "Of course."

He took the candy to wash his hands, and then went to get the hot water. Seeing this series of actions, Ding Yushu gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait!"

She was about to turn around and go into the room angrily.

But Dabao didn't cooperate. He stared at Tianjiao's small mouth, knowing that it was food, and threw himself towards it, shouting, "Ahhh! I want it!"

The eager look on his face, as if he had been hungry for hundreds of years, made Tianjiao feel ashamed.

Dabao is just over one year old and doesn't talk much. Nowadays, every household is very busy and doesn't have much time to look after the children. Zhang Zhi goes out early and comes back late, and Ding Yusu doesn't talk to the child usually. He only knows how to say dad, mom, and grandma. Now he was forced to utter a word because of the food.

Tianjiao was very happy and hurried over to pull Dabao: "Second Auntie, wait a minute, Dabao wants to eat candy!"

Ding Yushu secretly glared at Tianjiao again. This unlucky child must have done it on purpose. She directly pushed the child into her arms and said unhappily, "Since you like it, then you can take care of it."

After saying that, he really walked into the room. The sound of the door closing was very loud. Tianjiao always felt that this door would not hold up for long and would break.

The fat ball of flesh was thrown on her. Tianjiao took two steps back because of the weight, but he still held on to him with all his strength, but he didn't forget to complain: "Oh, Dabao, you are really heavy."

"Puff!" Dabao smiled and blew a bubble at her, then started to pick her mouth: "Yes! Yes!"

Tianjiao simply sat down on the ground, protecting Dabao with one hand. At this time, Zhang Rui also came over with hot water. The candy was dissolved into water, and the whole cup was filled with a strong sweet and sour taste.

This sugar is yellow in color, and its sour taste is mostly sweet, and the water that comes out of it has a light yellow color.

"Here, just sit and play. Daddy's going to do some work." Zhang Rui glanced at the closed room and hummed complacently.

Tianjiao held the cup, looked up at Zhang Rui happily, and said crisply: "Thank you, Dad!"

Zhang Rui's smile widened, and he went back into the room to work.

Being called Dad, he seems to be full of energy to do anything and doesn't want to be lazy anymore. It's really strange.

…

Dabao's face wrinkled from the sour taste of the sugar water. She refused to drink the second sip and didn't want the sugar in her mouth anymore.

Tianjiao tried it curiously and found it tolerable, but too sour. She stood up, left Dabao playing on the ground, and ran to Zhang Rui, her eyes sparkling, as if she had discovered something incredible: "Dad, this is sour, give it to you!"

Zhang Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and smelled the familiar sweet and sour taste on his nose. He was stunned for a moment and remembered that he just said he didn't like sweet things. He couldn't find a sour one, so should he give it to him?

Looking at the most innocent expression on that little round face, Zhang Rui felt a sweet and sour feeling in his heart before he even drank it.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tianjiao pushed it forward again. She changed the candy in her mouth and held it in her mouth. She said seriously: "I have tasted this, it's sour, and Dabao doesn't like it either."

This time Zhang Rui did not refuse, but drank it all in one gulp, just like drinking wine, but the taste was so sour that his face wrinkled. In fact, he preferred sweet ones.

Seeing that he had finished drinking, Tianjiao took the cup and left.

Zhang Rui looked at her cheerful back, hummed, and whispered: "Don't worry, my girl, I will make sure you live a good life! We will have plenty of this candy in the future!"

*****

After a busy schedule, they finally finished getting the room ready before dinner. It was still quite hot at that time, so Tianjiao could only cover himself with a thin blanket at night. So Tianjiao stayed there that night.

It was impossible for Zhang Rui to go there alone. His room was next to his second brother and sister-in-law's, and the old house was not soundproof. Who knew what he might hear?

If the child is soundly asleep, there won't be any impact.

So that night, Tianjiao lay in bed and heard the clear voice of complaint from next door.

Ding Yushu: "Is your brother really sick? Or is he mentally ill? Do you know what he did today?"

Zhang Zhi asked in a good-tempered manner: "What did you do?"

Ding Yushu became more and more angry, and she seemed to turn over and sit up: "He actually threatened me and took my vanishing cream from the room. Why!"

Zhang Zhi continued to coax: "I'll buy you a bottle tomorrow."

Ding Yushu: "Is this Yiping's business? He is sick and you don't even know how to take care of him, just letting him bully me? Zhang Zhi, I didn't expect you to be such a person? Do you still want to live a good life? Your whole family bullies me..."

That was quite a big commotion.

Before, Tianjiao had occasionally heard such sounds through a main room, but they were not accurate and he had no way of knowing the specific content of what she said. Now, even though her bed was against the wall on the other side, he could still hear it clearly, because the wall was thin and was just blocked by a piece of wood.

The more she listened, the angrier she became, especially when Zhang Zhi tried to coax her. In the end, she seemed to feel that it was not enough and she was still being wronged. When Zhang Zhi said he was going to beat Zhang Rui, she finally couldn't help but get off the bed, propped up her back and walked to the wall between the two rooms, shouting, "Second Aunt, you are so mean! It was obviously you who ate the eggs that Dad left for me first, and that's why Dad was angry. And in the afternoon, Dabao couldn't eat candy, so Dad dissolved it into water. You're talking nonsense!"

The five-year-old child had a tender and loud voice, and every word he spoke was very clear and understandable.

The shock instantly made everyone in the rooms in front and behind sit up.

Ding Yushu was also speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. It was bad enough that the couple's conversation was heard clearly by a maid, but she also interrupted through the wall and explained the whole cause and effect in just a few words. She blushed and stammered.

Zhang Zhi held his forehead in embarrassment. He was just being perfunctory because he knew his wife's temper. Zhang Rui was not the kind of person who would do things casually. He also knew that his wife was greedy, so he would buy her food that she could buy on weekdays, but most of it was handed over to the government, so the little money left was not enough.

Besides, Ding Yushu will eat anything she can get her hands on.

Therefore, he was just being perfunctory and trying to be a peacemaker, trying to evade the issue. He definitely would not really hit Zhang Rui.

result……

Tianjiao was still standing there. Seeing that they didn’t react, he thought that they didn’t believe him, and he slapped the wall angrily: “Second uncle, don’t listen to your aunt, she lied to you! If you hit dad, I will…I will…”

She wanted to threaten him and say something harsh, but she couldn't say it because although this second uncle seldom spoke to her, he was usually very kind and even secretly gave her delicious food, which she couldn't bear to part with.

Zhang Zhi: “…”

Ding Yushu couldn't help but broke down in a shrill voice, "Zhang Tianjiao! Go to sleep! Why do you, a child, butt in on a conversation between adults?"

Tianjiao groaned in displeasure, and the next second he heard a loud "bang!" from the room across the wall, followed by Dabao's crying and Ding Yushu's furious voice: "Why did the bed collapse?!!!"

In the room across from the main hall, Zhang Rui couldn't help but slap the bed and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."

Emma, ​​my daughter is amazing!
