Chapter 98 I Have a House
In the evening after completing the first mission, the three little ones of the four-man group prepared to go see Mibao's father.
Chaoyang had inquired in advance and found out that Ji Ruwen was also at the southern base.
The three of them bought some food as gifts, and then walked towards Ji Ruwen's courtyard.
However, before I went in, I saw Ji Ruwen lying on a recliner in the evening, drinking in a daze.
The three children paused.
They didn’t expect that... the father that Mibao had been thinking about all the time would be such a man.
"Did he... think that Mibao had passed away, so he was so sad?"
After a long time, Ye Duo's hesitant voice sounded.
"No, he should know that Mibao is still alive." Chaoyang said calmly, "With the above methods, it is impossible that he could not find out the situation when Mibao left."
What's more, Mibao's mother's situation is so special.
As Mibao's immediate family member, it is impossible for the people above not to tell Ji Ruwen the information.
"...To be honest, I don't like adults who drink, especially when they are drunk."
Chaolu crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"It's been four or five days, hasn't it? This fragile man still hasn't recovered? How can he give Mibao a future like this? When Mibao comes back, will he pick up scraps with him?"
Chaoyang: “…”
Ye Duo: “…”
There's no need to be so sharp.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think my words are harsh?" Chaolu raised her chin slightly, her face full of defiance, "I'm not wrong—he didn't care much about Mibao before the apocalypse. What does his wife's difficult labor have to do with Mibao, a child?
Actually putting the blame on the child...you are a coward!
I thought he had changed, but now I see he's still a coward."
Chaoyang: “…”
Ye Duo: “…”
Shouldn't the morning dew be enough to poison itself to death by licking its lips?
Although they felt that there was nothing wrong with what Chaolu said.
So the gift-giving matter was put on hold for the time being, and the three children went back.
After that, they discussed and decided to return the thank-you fee that Ji Ruwen asked Yu Tao to give to him at the Oasis Base, and to ridicule him at the same time.
Oh no, it's a wake-up call.
Still lying down?
Get up and work hard!
Is this okay, Xiao Pacai?
However, because they spent a lot of points on buying things, the three of them took on a task of killing zombies the next day and earned some points. When they had enough points, they went to Ji Ruwen's courtyard again.
"...Uncle Ji, let's return the points..."
"...Uncle Ji, we've all heard about Mibao's situation... We just think you're a little too decadent."
“…”
The small courtyard was silent.
Liang Shaoqing and Bai Qi, who were eavesdropping at the entrance of the yard, were also a little confused.
These three kids have bad intentions.
Ji Ruwen looked at the three strange children in front of him in silence. He already knew from what he saw that these three children were Mi Bao's friends.
"What do you want to say?" Ji Ruwen spoke softly, his voice a little hoarse.
Chaolu was just about to speak to hit Ji Ruwen hard again, but Chaoyang gently patted the back of her hand.
Chaolu looked down at her younger brother, curled her lips and stopped talking.
"Uncle Ji." Chaoyang looked at Ji Ruwen and smiled faintly. "We are friends with Mibao, so it's natural for us to come visit you. But it's really sad to see you so depressed."
Ji Ruwen narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that at his age, he would be pointed at and scolded by three children.
"Oh."
Ji Ruwen couldn't help but sneer.
"Little friend, aren't you meddling too much?"
Doesn't he even have the right to be sad?
He just learned that his wife was resurrected, but something happened again, and even his daughter disappeared...
Can't he be sad and heartbroken?
Why did these kids run up to him, look at him with mockery, and despise his decadence?
Ji Ruwen felt angry.
"Of course we have no right to control you." Chaoyang still kept smiling, "You are the elder, and we are just children."
Ji Ruwen: "..."
It sounds even more sarcastic.
The key point is that he is an adult, and it would seem a bit inappropriate if he were to argue too much with three children.
"I believe uncle, you must know that Mibao and Auntie are still alive, right?"
Ji Ruwen was stunned.
"I think Mibao and Auntie will come to the southern base to find you sooner or later. Can you protect them then?"
Ji Ruwen said almost subconsciously: "Of course!"
"No, you can't." Chaoyang looked calmly into Ji Ruwen's eyes, "Of course, maybe they were already strong enough to not need your protection at that time, but as a father and a husband, you still need to have the necessary abilities.
Auntie's situation is very special. When the Oasis base was evacuated, the adults above obviously had no intention of saving her because she... was a mutant."
Ji Ruwen's heart was beating very fast. He wanted to say something, but found that his throat was terribly dry.
"Uncle Ji, I just want to ask you - if Mibao and Auntie come to the Southern Base in the future, can you let them walk around the base freely and happily?"
Ji Ruwen was silent.
He wanted to say something in rebuttal, but found that he could not refute anything.
Chaoyang's words were gentle, but every word pierced the heart.
"Uncle Ji, if you can't have a say here in the future and can't let them walk freely in the base, I think it's better for them to be free outside."
After saying this last sentence, Chaoyang bowed politely to Ji Ruwen, then took Chaolu and Ye Duo away.
Ji Ruwen was the only one left in the yard.
The two people at the gate looked at the three children's backs as they left with a dazed look.
hiss……
Are all kids nowadays so good at talking?
Liang Shaoqing and Bai Qi looked at each other, then looked at Ji Ruwen in the yard.
At this moment, Ji Ruwen looked a little dazed.
"Captain, we..."
"let's go."
Bai Qi looked at Liang Shaoqing in surprise and lowered his voice, "Just leaving like that? Without even saying a word of comfort?"
"Do you think Ji Ruwen's psychological endurance is so poor?" Liang Shaoqing was speechless. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
After saying that, he dragged Baiqi away.
Baiqi is a good person in every way, except that he is too enthusiastic and is willing to help anyone.
I just like being silly sometimes.
In fact, Liang Shaoqing felt that what those kids said just now made sense. If Ji Ruwen could figure it out, perhaps he wouldn't continue to be so depressed.
That's a good thing.
…
…
Half a month later——
"Wow! The house is built!"
Mibao looked at the cabin in front of him and ran around it with a happy face.
Finally, I don’t have to squeeze in the tiny plastic wrap tent!
Although the cabin built by Xiao Bin was not as big as the one built by Jiang Nianwan, it also had three bedrooms and a living room, about 70 square meters in size.
