Chapter 288 Extra 7: Not at Home for Three Years
冂冂 and 口口 have shown their intelligence and talent since childhood.
For example, when 冂冂 was less than three years old, he could do mental multiplication of two-digit numbers and recite "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital", "The Memorial to the Emperor on the Petition for Peace" and "The Memorial to My Younger Brother Twelve" by heart.
Because they have been exposed to mathematics and Chinese since childhood, both children seem to be more intelligent than their peers. Of course, they are only at the level of ordinary smart children, and are far from being geniuses. Despite this, both of them can be ordered to do chores for the family, and they can buy more than a dozen things without any mistakes and come back with the correct change.
Hearing that the two children were so smart, the family thought it was natural. Since both the children's parents were smart, Yi Hanxing felt it was a pleasant surprise. You know, children's IQs are normally regressed, and the children of geniuses are generally not as smart as geniuses. Yi Hanxing can only be thankful that he and Zhou Yizi are not geniuses, so this normal regression may not be the time for it to return yet?
Because of this idea, Yi Hanxing felt relieved in his heart, but when Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi finally had a family visit holiday to go home, they met these two smart kids, and Yi Hanxing didn't feel relieved at all.
The first time Zhou Yizi, Yi Hanxing and the baby met was in a convenience store near Tian Xiude's home.
At that time, the clever little boy 冂冂 was comforting a friend who was a few years older than him.
"They all say that I am a fatherless child, and that my mother will remarry sooner or later! Then I won't even have meat to eat!" A little fat boy cried loudly.
Xiaoxiao's friend comforted her, "Then you really should eat less meat. This will make you healthier."
Because of the comfort from his friend Xiaoxiao, which was like adding fuel to the fire, the little fat boy cried even harder.
Koukou, who was watching this scene, sighed, feeling that the burden of wiping his sister's butt was still on his shoulders. He patted the little chubby boy with his dimpled hands and used the correct method of comfort: "Don't cry, you just don't have a father. Xiaoxiao and I have neither a father nor a mother."
Hearing this, Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi, who recognized the child's distinctive name, looked at each other and stopped silently.
Hearing what Koukou said, the little fat boy forgot to cry: "How come you don't have a father or a mother?"
"My grandparents said that Koukou's parents and I went to work in a very far place." 冂冂 answered quickly.
"My cousins said that our parents were reluctant to let us go and asked us not to bear a grudge against them," Koukou added.
"They always think we are still children and lie to us all day long." 冂冂hekou echoed each other.
"Actually, we all know that if you go to work far away, you will die!" Koukou said loudly.
"Adults always think that children don't understand, but in fact we all know it!" 冂冂 nodded vigorously.
"That's right! We are three years old, how could we cry because we have no parents?! Although our parents are dead, we still have grandparents, aunts, dad, uncles, cousins, uncles, aunts, cousins and nephews and nieces!" Koukou's lung capacity is very good, and he said all the names at once.
Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi looked at each other, and their expressions showed the real "embarrassment".
"So he went to a very far place and died?!" the little fat boy said in surprise.
"Yeah!" Xiaoxiao nodded. "Do you know the little bamboo in the building next door?"
"I know." The little fat boy nodded.
"His mother went to a place very far away. We all heard the adults talking about how pitiful little Zhuzi was and that his father was going to marry a stepmother!"
The little fat boy looked like he had learned something new, and asked in confusion, "Then why didn't the adults just tell Xiao Zhuzi directly?"
"Then he'll be as sad as you." Koukou said, "So we must keep it a secret and not let Xiao Zhuzi know."
The little fat boy nodded vigorously: "I won't let him know!"
At the same time, 冂冂 warned: "Don't tell the adults at home. If they knew that we already knew the truth, they would definitely be sad!"
The little fat boy swore: "I will never tell anyone. If I tell anyone, turn me into a puppy!"
Only then did 冂冂 and 口口 nod in satisfaction and said to the fat boy, "Can you please move aside? We need to go to the store to buy some things."
The little fat boy quickly made way for the small door that only children could enter and exit.
Yi Hanxing said to Zhou Yizhi with mixed feelings: "You haven't been home for three years, and your son and daughter mistakenly thought you were dead. How do you feel?"
Zhou Yizhi's mood was equally complicated: "Are these two kids too smart? They already know about this kind of thing?"
While the child was playing with soy sauce, Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi followed him back to Tian Xiude's home.
"Aunt and Dad, we're back!" Koukou and Xixi said together.
"Are you back?" Cheng Shen called out, "Hurry up and bring the soy sauce in, your brother is just short of making the soy sauce!"
After Cheng Shen said this, 冂冂 wanted to send it in quickly.
Cheng Shen knew the child well and quickly added, "Walk over there! Don't run! Be careful not to fall!"
Only then did 冂冂 slow down and walk in.
Koukou followed closely behind.
Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi quickly stepped forward and greeted Cheng Shen: "Brother-in-law."
Cheng Shen looked at the two of them, startled for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Han Xing? Yizhi! You're back?!"
Having said that, Cheng Shen hurriedly pulled the two of them into the room.
He walked into the room and shouted to the other side: "Xiu De, Xiu De! Come out quickly, look who's back!"
"Hanxing! Yizi! You're back!" When Tian Xiu De came out and recognized Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi with surprise, the two little ones, 冂冂 and 口口, also heard the voice and were clinging to the door frame to observe secretly.
At this time, upon hearing that Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi had returned, the Cheng siblings quickly turned off the stove and came in, saying in surprise, "Aunt! Uncle!"
Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi also greeted with a smile.
After everyone finished greeting each other, Tian Xiu De spotted the two little ones observing from the dark and quickly called out, "Xiao Xiao, Kou Kou, come here quickly and see who this is! Hurry up and call for help!"
冂冂 and 口口 exchanged a glance, and based on the way the Cheng brothers and sisters addressed each other, they cleverly determined that this was their aunt's sister, and their aunt's sister was their little aunt. They both shouted in unison, "Hello, little aunt! Hello, little uncle!"
"Cough cough!" Cheng Shen was choked by his own saliva.
The Cheng brothers and sisters quickly corrected them: "These are not your aunt and uncle, these are your real mom and dad!"
"My real mom and dad?" 冂冂 and Koukou looked at each other in confusion. "How is this possible? Aren't they very far away?"
"Yeah! Now they've found a chance to take a vacation and come back to see you!"
"I thought my parents, like Xiao Zhuzi's mom, had gone to a place as far away as heaven." Koukou spoke vaguely, and Xiaoxiao nodded continuously: "So they really did just go to a place very, very far away?"
Cheng Shen opened and closed his mouth, then opened and closed it again, and couldn't help but sigh: "You two are really clever little ghosts."
"No." Tian Xiu De couldn't understand. "Why do you think mom and dad are the same as Xiao Zhuzi's mom?"
"Because you all say the same thing. They haven't appeared, just like Xiaozhuzi's mother."
"But we often read letters from your parents to you and show you their photos." Tian Xiu De was still puzzled.
"The photo was taken many years ago," Koukou said. "And we thought you were making up stories for us because you were worried we'd be sad without a mom and dad, so you faked the letters."
"That's right!" 冂冂 felt he had a good point: "Other people's letters all had stamps and red stamps, but the letters you brought home didn't have any. You must be faking it!"
Tian Xiu De & Cheng Shen: That’s because the letters don’t go through the postal channel!
The children's reasons were so perfect that Tian Xiu De suddenly thought it was normal for them to have misunderstood...
Fortunately, Yi Hanxing was still very thick-skinned: "Now that you know, can you say hello to mom and dad?"
The two children were very polite and shouted without resistance: "Hello, Mom and Dad."
After the greetings, the children curiously asked, "So where did you go?"
"That's right! Why haven't we ever seen you in our lives?"
“Why can’t you bring your kids with you to work?”
Faced with the children's barrage of questions, Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yi answered them one by one.
After the children had satisfied their curiosity and ran out again, Tian Xiude was finally able to ask, "How long have you been back this time?"
"I can probably stay for two or three months." Yi Hanxing said.
"Why is the vacation so long? You guys..."
Tian Xiude and Cheng Shen couldn't help but look at each other after saying this. Cheng Jia, who had made some guesses, also showed surprise. Cheng Shen couldn't help but ask, "Did you succeed?!"
Yi Hanxing and Zhou Yizi smiled and nodded.
"Really? What have you succeeded in? Is it artillery shells or machine guns? Can our country fight against the United States? Wait, look at my brain, I can't tell you this, I won't ask!" Tian Xiu De said excitedly.
Yi Hanxing smiled and said, "Second sister, you can pay attention to the news recently." The organization is planning to publicize it on a large scale.
Tian Xiu De understood what he meant.
On this side, 冂冂 and 口口, realizing their misunderstanding, went to the fat boy to apologize.
"Sorry, Pangpang!" After the little fat boy's mother opened the door, the two bowed to the little fat boy and apologized.
Seeing the two three-headed little friends apologize seriously, Fatty's mother held back her laughter and asked the two children: "What did you do to offend Fatty?"
Koukou's representative said: "I shouldn't have consoled Fatty by telling him it's okay not to have a father when he was crying. I don't have a father or a mother either."
"We really thought we were parentless just now, we weren't lying to Fatty!" 冂冂 quickly added, "Who knew our real parents would come back today? It turns out they really did go to work far, far away, they weren't dead!"
Hearing what the two said, the little fat boy started crying again: "Then I'm the only one without a father! The other kids won't play with me anymore! When my mother remarries, I'm going to be beaten by my stepfather and eaten by my stepbrothers and sisters!"
After hearing this, Fatty's mother felt complicated: "Wait, who said I want to find a stepfather for you?"
"They say raising a child is expensive, and your salary isn't enough, so you'll definitely have to find another one."
The fat mother gritted her teeth at the gossips and continued to ask, "Who said your father died? He paid your child support regularly. I can definitely support you!"
Fatty sobbed and said, "But Mom, you said my dad was dead!"
Chubby Mom: "I was just angry! You can't expect me to say good things about my ex-husband, right? I really don't plan to find another man to be bullied by!"
After hearing two misunderstandings in one day, 冂冂 and Koukou looked at each other again. 冂冂 couldn't help but speak: "Could it be that we also misunderstood Xiao Zhuzi's mother?"!
