Although it can't sound as nice as Shen Jianguo or Song Jianshe, it should at least sound like his uncle's name, Xie Yan. What a nice-sounding name Xie Yan is!
Xie Yan patted the frizzy hairy egg, "Alright, alright, from now on, your uncle will call you Yu Hui, okay? I won't call you frizzy egg anymore."
Mao Dan nodded fiercely, "Of course, my name is Mao Dan, ptooey, ptooey ptooey! My name is Yu Hui!" After saying that, he turned around and secretly slapped his own mouth. You dead mouth, I told you not to talk nonsense!
Xie Yan was amused by his actions. Teasing a child is quite interesting! "Alright, alright, Uncle will remember. I'll never forget your name, Yu Hui."
Mao Dan was overjoyed. He grabbed Xie Yan's hand and ran forward as fast as he could. He felt that his uncle-in-law was indeed a sent-down youth, and was simply the most understanding person. He liked his uncle-in-law the most now.
Xie Yan was pulled forward by Mao Dan, "Yu Hui, Yu Hui, don't rush, slow down, let's see what else we need to pack. Isn't it going to rain today? If we don't pack properly, we'll get soaked!"
Mao Dan let go of Xie Yan's hand, scratched his head in distress, and couldn't think of anything else to clean up! Hadn't his grandmother already cleaned it all up?
Thinking this, he simply asked the question.
Xie Yan pinched Mao Dan's chubby cheeks. "Let's see if we've missed anything! What if there's something your grandma didn't notice or forgot, and we take care of it? That would make us really powerful!"
Mao Dan loved hearing that, so he let go of Xie Yan and started running around, checking where things hadn't been tidied up yet!
I ran around the house several times, inside and out, but I didn't find anything I had missed.
Xie Yan also checked and checked, and thankfully, his mother-in-law was a very meticulous person, and everything had been packed.
Xie Yan led the panting Mao Dan back into the house. Looking at the terrible weather outside, he said, "Yu Hui, if you encounter weather like this in the future, you must come home. Don't run around, okay? Especially when there is lightning, you must not run under a tree."
Mao Dan stared wide-eyed, puzzled, and asked, "Why? We've taken shelter under the tree from the rain before! There was thunder then, it was really scary!"
Oh! You guys are just lucky! Little kid, Xie Yan couldn't possibly explain lightning to him. Kids that age don't like listening to such boring stuff.
"You probably don't know that lightning especially likes trees. They often strike trees. Think about it, if you were under a tree at that time, wouldn't you get struck by lightning along with it?"
"Tell me, isn't lightning scary? But if you were struck by lightning, it would definitely hurt a lot!"
Mao Dan clearly didn't believe it. "Then why haven't I seen it before?"
"Because you're still young! You haven't seen it yet. If you were as old as your uncle, you would have seen it!"
"Oh!" Mao Dan sat on the stool, lost in thought.
But he was a restless child who couldn't sit still at all. Before his bottom even touched the stool, he couldn't sit still anymore and started running around. After running around for a while, he would come back and ask Xie Yan, "Uncle, are you from a big city?"
Xie Yan nodded, "Yes!"
Mao Dan sighed with a very mature air, "Sigh! Why am I not from a big city? It would be so much better if I were from a big city!"
Xie Yan smiled and said, "Why do you think you're from a big city?"
Mao Dan said longingly, "That would be so awesome! When I go out to play with Gou Dan and the others, I'll be so cool! And I'll get lots of delicious candy."
Xie Yan assumed that the adults had overheard him praising the city, which was why he thought that way. So he asked, "Who told you that? How do you know that big cities are good? What if big cities are also very bad, just like here? What if they're lying to you?"
Mao Dan looked at Xie Yan in astonishment, his eyes practically screaming, "Are you stupid?" "Uncle, how can you be so stupid! Big cities are full of workers! Workers eat state-supplied food, which is delicious, and they're all quite wealthy; they can buy lots of tasty candy!"
Xie Yan: "..." How was he supposed to explain this? Who was it that taught the child such a bad lesson?
"What you said is true! But you don't know that there are also people in big cities who don't have jobs, and they live worse than you, and they can't even afford candy. So not all city dwellers are doing well!"
"Ah! This...this..."
This was clearly beyond Mao Dan's comprehension; his eyes widened in disbelief. It contradicted his existing understanding, and he found it hard to accept.
It took him a while to realize what he meant and he said, "No! When Yu Dahui came back last time, he brought a lot of delicious candy. He said the city is great, there are shops everywhere, and there are many delicious things we've never seen before."
Um, "..." So Yu Dahui is the one who told him about the good people in the city?
Xie Yan was stunned. This Yu Dahui was obviously a child, and children's words are often exaggerated. As for whose child he was, he didn't know, but he could ask, "Who is Yu Dahui?"
Mao Dan looked at Xie Yan with an expression that said, "You don't even know this?" and sighed seriously, "Yu Dahui is the son of Da Tian, the brother from my second uncle's family!"
After listening to Xie Yan's explanation of this complicated relationship, it's still unclear whose child Yu Dahui is, and who the second uncle is.
Seeing that Xie Yan still didn't know who Yu Dahui was, Mao Dan stood up and sighed in an old-fashioned manner, "It's down there. Go back to the old house, there's a house on that road with a willow tree behind it, that one!"
So Xie Yan knows now that there are trees all behind their house, and the willow trees are so thick that one person can't wrap their arms around them. Xie Yan was frightened by that section of road last time.
Oh, so it's their child. "Hey, your brother, did someone in your family marry into the city?"
Mao Dan nodded, "Yes, Brother Da Tian's sister married into the city. I heard that her husband's family is very rich! They have a lot of houses and money. Yu Da Hui has been to the city."
She pinched his cheek. "You even know about your in-laws! That's impressive!"
"Wowo, wowo, just wait and see! (How come I don't know)" Although Maodan was being controlled, it didn't stop him from speaking at all. After speaking, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Yan, not even knowing to move Xie Yan's hand away, obediently letting him pinch him.
Seeing his adorable expression, Xie Yan let go of him. "Then he must have been lying to you."
