"What? I disagree!"
Tiger Head was the first to stand up and object.
"Mommy, can you take me with you?" Ya Ya didn't object, but instead begged Lin Zao to take her along.
Although Chen Wen and Ma Qingping were somewhat reluctant to see their godmother leave, they could tell from her solemn expression that what she was about to do was very important, so they obediently remained silent.
Lin Zao looked at Hu Tou and Ya Ya with a serious expression. "This time, your mother is going to your father's hometown. You should remember that it's very far away and the road is not safe. It will be very dangerous for your mother to take you there."
When Tiger Head heard that his mother was going back to her hometown, he immediately shrank his neck.
He still vividly remembered the painful memories of leaving his hometown: the blood on his mother's head, the uncertainty of his grandmother's fate, and the burning sensation of hunger.
This made him feel a deep sense of aversion to returning to his hometown.
"Then, Mother, you shouldn't go either, okay?" Tiger Head shrank back and looked at Lin Zao.
Although Ya Ya didn't remember things about her hometown as clearly as her brother, she vaguely remembered that she had a miserable life there and was often bullied.
So, like her brother, she also had a fear of her hometown, as if going back would turn things back to the way they were before.
Ya Ya looked at Lin Zao pitifully, "Brother is right, our hometown is no good, there are many bad people there. Mother, please don't go back, okay?"
Lin Zao patted the two children's heads and said, "Mommy has left something very important at our old home and has to go get it. You two just stay home and wait for Mommy, okay?"
She didn't expect that her two children would still feel repulsed by their hometown; it seems they still remember the hardships they endured in the past.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya saw that their mother was determined to go back to her hometown, and their eyes instantly filled with tears as they looked at Lin Zao.
"Waaah, Mother, Mother..."
Ya Ya hugged Lin Zao's leg and started crying, and even Hu Tou kept wiping away tears with his little hands.
Seeing the two children crying so sadly, Lin Zao felt very reluctant to let them go.
In modern times, such a distance could be covered in a day.
Unfortunately, this is an ancient place with extremely backward transportation. It would take at least three months to get back from Datong Town.
Seeing the scene of mother and son being so inseparable, Tang's mother couldn't help but shed tears.
Chen Wen and Ma Qingping looked at their younger siblings with some helplessness, wanting to comfort them but not knowing how.
Tang Jian, who was next to Lin Zao, was more reliable and directly reached out and picked up both children.
He said to Hu Tou, "A real man sheds blood but not tears. You're such a grown man, yet you're still clinging to your mother. It seems you need to increase your morning exercise."
Tiger Head choked, staring wide-eyed at his father in disbelief. He wanted to continue crying, but remembered something and struggled to hold back. Instantly, his tear-streaked face turned bright red.
Seeing that this had stopped, Tang Jian turned to look at Ya Ya with satisfaction.
His voice suddenly softened, becoming more affectionate: "How about Daddy takes you to ride the Moon Chaser? Your mother will be back soon after she finishes her business. Yaya, stay home and keep Daddy company, okay?"
Hearing her father's words, Ya Ya stopped crying. She looked at her mother, then at her father, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly chose to be held in her father's arms.
Although I really want to be with my mother, I also need to be with my father. Besides, I can ride a big horse with my father.
Lin Zao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang Jian had calmed the two children down with just a few words.
