Chapter 72 The Last Night in Nianbai Village

During dinner, the Cen family father and son showed up and sat next to Du Ze and Niu Niu.

After an afternoon, not only did Cen Yuankai not get better, his complexion looked even worse, his eyes were lifeless, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Cen Yuankai is naughty and overbearing, and the other three children don't like him.

His father Cen Zheping is similar, but adults are different from children and will do some superficial work.

Mi Huan and Du Ze greeted each other politely and asked about Cen Yuankai's health.

Cen Zheping hugged Cen Yuankai and sighed continuously, saying that he didn't expect his son to suffer so much while recording a program.

Mi Huan laughed dryly twice and stopped talking to him.

The little guy was busy eating, and his bowl was full. Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Tian and Grandma Zhang picked up some food for him, but he couldn't finish it.

While eating, Mi Le looked towards Cen Yuankai and asked his brother in a low voice: "Brother, isn't Xanthium sibiricum non-toxic?"

"Well, it's not poisonous."

"Then why does Cen Yuankai look so seriously ill?"

Mi Huan shook his head and guessed: "It may be due to physical reasons. Some children are really not used to life in the countryside."

The little guy who was sitting in his seat and eating with chopsticks obediently saw that Cen Yuankai was always looking at him with a fierce look.

The little guy couldn't even eat properly, and reached out to pull his eldest brother's sleeve: "Big brother."

Chen Yan smiled at him, touched the back of his head, and glanced at Cen Yuankai with a cold face.

Cen Yuankai immediately shrank back into his father's arms, his body shaking continuously, and after a few seconds he broke down and burst into tears.

It is very annoying to see a naughty kid crying loudly, and no one can comfort him except his father.

Cen Yuankai felt his back was extremely itchy, so he reached in and scratched it hard, and all the medicine he had just applied was scratched away.

The accompanying doctor lifted up the clothes and saw obvious scratches on the back, and the nails were bleeding.

"Don't scratch it anymore. It will be hard to heal if it gets bruised."

Cen Yuankai couldn't help it and wanted to scratch it, but his father grabbed his hand.

“…Dad, I’m so itchy. A bug has gotten into my body. It’s itching like hell.”

Cen Zheping frowned: "Nonsense, there are no bugs."

Cen Yuankai twitched his lips: "There are bugs on that cocklebur..."

He kept yelling that there were bugs, and the director had no choice but to let them go back and rest, and let the doctor check him out.

At the long table banquet, Chen Yan curled his lips and smiled. With such little courage, he still wanted to bully his brother.

After dinner, the three children played on the drying dam, while the other guests chatted with the grandparents in the village.

Grandpa Tian knew that they were leaving tomorrow, and he was really reluctant to let them go. His cloudy eyes fell on Su Youli.

He lived alone all his life, never married, and lived on his few acres of land.

I met such a fairy-like little kid when I was old, but no matter how reluctant I was to let him go, he was not his.

"Niuniu, why is there mud on your hair?" Mile pinched a piece of dried mud from Niuniu's ponytail.

Niuniu held her head with both hands, frowned and said with great embarrassment: "I didn't see it just now."

It is not strange that a five-year-old child can take a bath by himself, but the three children got too dirty after playing in the afternoon, so they definitely need help from adults.

Mile was held in the water by his brother for an hour before he was clean.

Niuniu blinked her eyes and said, "My mother said that I am a girl and I should take a bath by myself."

Lele nodded: "But doesn't your father wash your hair?"

For children of this age, when they say they take a bath, they actually just rinse themselves with water, squeeze a dollop of shower gel and rub it on their bodies, then rinse themselves off. They can't tell whether they are clean or not.

Niu Niu loves cleanliness. When she realized that her hair was not washed clean, she immediately became unhappy.

Su Youli is younger than them, but very smart.

The little guy took a breath and ran towards the long table banquet, putting his hands on Grandma Zhang's knees: "Grandma Zhang!"

Grandma Zhang smiled at him: "What's the matter, Youyou?"

The little guy made a small trumpet with his hands and leaned over: "Grandma Zhang, can you help Sister Niuniu wash her hair?"

Mile was there accompanying Niu Niu, and after a while he saw Youyou coming over with Grandma Zhang.

Then, Grandma Zhang squatted down, touched Niu Niu's hair, and led her into the house.

The two children followed like little tails.

There is a big stove in the rural kitchen with a fire that is still burning, and the whole kitchen has a faint smell of firewood.

Mile and Youyou sat on a small stool and watched Grandma Zhang wash Niu Niu's hair.

"Your hair is all wet inside, why doesn't your dad untie it and blow dry it for you?"

Grandma Zhang complained that the child's hair was wet inside, and if it stayed on his head all night, he would definitely get sick.

Niu Niu lowered her head, her hair covering her face, and she could hear Grandma Zhang scolding her father for being incompetent.

The little girl couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she sniffed.

After washing Niu Niu, Grandma Zhang was still worried and went to check whether Youyou’s head and ears were clean.

"It's very clean. Go play in the yard." Grandma Zhang waved her hand and thought that fathers these days are not as good as brothers.

The three children helped Grandma Zhang pour out the water and wiped the water stains on the ground before leaving.

Grandma Zhang felt so warm in her heart that after the children left, she called her son and daughter-in-law who were working in another place.

-

The first stop is about to end. The program team did not assign them any tasks tonight. After dinner, they let the adults take the children back to rest.

Chen Yan walked along the country path with the little guy on his back, feeling the soft, small body pressed tightly against him on his back.

He really felt that Youyou had become much closer to him over the past two days, and he also had a deeper understanding of Youyou.

The three-year-old child fell asleep after playing tired, and didn't even know how his older brother washed him and carried him to bed.

Just before falling asleep, he said in a baby voice that he would call his fathers when he got home.

The little guy was sleeping soundly on the bed, with his little fists clenched on both sides of his head, and he would hum a few words occasionally.

Chen Yan stopped fanning the child and leaned forward to listen. The little guy was calling "Dad", and then "Kunkun".

Chen Yan felt a pain in his heart again. He felt sorry for Youyou, who had to be separated from Uncle Su and Uncle Qin at such a young age.

As I thought about it, I remembered the winter three years ago.

Three years ago, he was busy with his studies and pursuing his dreams. Because his mother was an elderly mother, she had strong pregnancy reactions and was very weak throughout the pregnancy.

Chen Yan even blamed the child in his mother's belly, asking why his mother had to suffer so much.

Of course, Shen Minyan was also on his blacklist.

The sixteen-year-old boy was very aggressive, not inferior to Shen Lin today.

It’s just that Chen Yan is not as extrovert as Chen Lin, so he won’t say it out loud even if he is dissatisfied.

His eyes fell on the face of the little guy who was sleeping soundly in front of him, and he tried hard to recall what happened on the night his mother gave birth to Youyou.

Cicadas are chirping and frogs are croaking, and the moonlight is bright.

Chen Yan's eyes softened as he stroked the little guy's hair.

Now that he has grown up, there is nothing for him to be afraid of.

No matter what happens, he will definitely protect Youyou.

Chen Yan threw back the quilt, turned over, hugged his brother, and slept soundly.
