New work out now, welcome everyone to read my work on Tomato Nov...

Chapter 40 Snot Bubbles

"Do you want to play? Raise your hand if you want to play. Whoever raises his hand first gets to play." Chen Yintang looked at the two children lovingly.

Shitou knew that this was Goudan's biological grandfather, so he was very polite and did not raise his hand. However, Goudan had known Chen Yintang for quite a few days and had a good relationship with him, so he did not think much about it and just stretched out his hand excitedly.

"Grandpa, give it to me. I want to play with it."

Chen Yitang bowed kindly, his face full of joy for his grandson: "Okay, you can play with it. This toy is specially bought for you. You can play with your friend!"

"Just press this button to move forward, this one to go backward, this one to turn left, and this one to turn right." Chen Yitang taught two children how to use a remote control car.

Goudan happily nodded while holding the remote control car, and then said to Shitou: "Brother Shitou, we can play with cars together in the future."

"Okay, thank you Brother Goudan." Shitou didn't think that this toy should be his, but after hearing Goudan's words, he was also very happy.

Zeng Wenjuan poured out three glasses of water and called everyone in to drink water: "You have been playing for so long, you must be thirsty now, come in and drink some water!"

The three of them immediately entered the main room and drank the warm water. Chen Yitang took out the thermos, enamel cup and kettle he brought with him: "Nannan! This is Dad... I brought you the thermos and enamel cup. You can put them in when you boil water in the future. I saw you used a clay pot to boil water yesterday, so I bought a kettle."

Zeng Wenjuan looked at these things and was somewhat shocked. Although she had tickets and money now, she couldn't just buy these things whenever she wanted.

"Okay, I'll accept it. Wait a moment, I'll go get you the money." After Zeng Wenjuan received the things, she put them away and went into the house.

Looking at Zeng Wenjuan's back, Chen Yitang said loudly: "No need, this is not a valuable thing..."

Before Chen Yitang finished speaking, Zeng Wenjuan came out with the money. She counted the money and the bills and handed them to Chen Yitang: "I've counted the money you brought yesterday and today as bills and given them to you. If it's not enough, just consider it as the amount I received. Otherwise, it's not easy for me to accept it if it's too much."

Chen Yitang nodded, "Okay." He took another cloth bag and said to Zeng Wenjuan, "There's cloth in here. I don't have many sets of clothes. Can you help me find someone to make some? I don't know anyone here."

"Making clothes! That's all I know how to make clothes. Just give me the fabric! I'll measure the size for you later." Zeng Wenjuan said immediately after hearing this.

"That's great. I've even ordered a sewing machine. I won't be there when you get married, so consider this sewing machine as your dowry. You can't refuse it! Otherwise, I'll feel bad." Chen Yintang said in a serious voice.

Seeing Chen Yitang's serious look, Zeng Wenjuan nodded and accepted the sewing machine. Then she lowered her head and opened the cloth bag, which was full of cloth, mostly floral and bright-colored cloth, which should be for Zeng Wenjuan and Goudan. The remaining three pieces of cyan and green cloth were prepared by Chen Yitang for herself.

At this moment, Zeng Wenjuan had only one thought: she had found someone great. But the most attractive thing is the most dangerous, so cherish it while you can!

"By the way, where are you going to live later? There's still time now, I'll go over and help you pack up!" Zeng Wenjuan said after she remembered that the village chief said that Chen Yitang had to stay in the village.

Chen Yitang was playing with a remote-controlled car with his two children. After hearing Zeng Wenjuan's words, he looked up and said, "Your village chief said that I will live in your village clinic in the future. It just so happens that I don't know where it is, so I'll go with you!"

"Oh, this bag of grain is my ration. I can't cook either. Can I eat at your house from now on?" Chen Yintang said as he took down his grain and put it on the ground.

People have made up their minds, can Zeng Wenjuan still say no? Of course not! She nodded and said, "Put the food in the kitchen! I will let you go alone when the time comes."

Chen Yitang saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, okay... I'll take the things in right away. We'll go to the village clinic together later."

After Zeng Wenjuan put away the food and locked the cupboard, the four of them headed for the village clinic, with Chen Yitang following behind pushing his bicycle and the two children playing with remote-controlled cars in front.

This made the children in the village very envious. They came up to him one by one and said, "Goudan, is this your bike? It's awesome! It's even better than a bicycle. Can it hold people?"

"No, the car is too small. This is a gift from my grandpa." Chen Yitang smiled brightly when he heard it. Goudan saw his good friend Ergou again and shouted, "Ergou, do you want to come over and play with us? I can let you play first."

Ergou wiped the snot off his face with his sleeve, laughed out a big snot bubble and said, "Is it really okay?"

"Of course! We are good friends! But... next time you want to play, you have to change into clean clothes and wash your hands and face before playing, otherwise you will get the remote control car dirty." During this period, Goudan learned to pay attention to hygiene under Zeng Wenjuan's education. Especially after he saw the children in the city, he also wanted to be like them.

Ergou happily followed Goudan and Shitou, playing with the remote control car in front, and soon arrived at the village clinic. Su Jinsong happened to be drying herbs in the yard.

Seeing the two of them, he stopped what he was doing, walked over to them and said, "Hello, this is Mr. Chen who is going to live near the clinic! I'm the village doctor... You can just call me Xiao Su."

Chen Yitang looked at Su Jinsong in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Hello, I live in that room."

"That room over there." Su Jinsong pointed to a room and then said, "I have cleaned that room. You can just move your things in there."

"Okay, thank you. I'll trouble you later." Chen Yitang looked at Su Jinsong and said with a smile.

Su Jinsong shook his head: "It's all my job. I'll go sort out the herbs first. I just picked them from the mountain yesterday. You guys go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, okay..." Chen Yitang and Zeng Wenjuan moved their things into the house together. There weren't many things, just two sets of clothes, a washbasin, a towel, a bar of soap, a toothbrush, a toothpaste cup, and a quilt.

Over the years, Chen Yitang has been traveling around looking for his children. He couldn't carry much with him, so he could only prepare some important things and carry them on his back.
