Yang Donghu was a little surprised, but he still took the sweet girl over. The child's body was sweet and soft. It was the same smell when he held Ning Can's child last time. It smelled very nice.
He took out a piece of crispy candy from the candy bag and put it in Tianniu's hand, tightening his arms for fear that the unstable child would fall.
"Sweet girl, do you know him?" Zhu Cuilan asked.
Tianniu shook her head and nestled in Yang Donghu's arms without saying a word.
Aunt Zhao was surprised. It was true that Tianniu was not afraid of people, but she would only let herself be hugged if she had seen the person many times and was familiar to them. Last year, Tianniu and her mother went to live at her grandmother's house for a while. When they came back, it was cold and they had hardly gone out.
This was the first time I met Yang Donghu, and she actually took the initiative to let him hug her. It was really rare.
"Then how do you let him hold you?" asked Aunt Zhao.
"nice."
Zhao Fangchu said unhappily, "Am I not pretty? I even gave you candy. Why didn't you ask me to hold you?"
The laughter of several people made the little girl feel a little embarrassed. She buried her head in Yang Donghu's arms and said nothing.
Zhu Cuilan looked at Yang Donghu holding the child and couldn't help but imagine what Yang Donghu would look like when he had a child in the future. By then, she would be a grandmother, and with such a little child at home, her life would be so fulfilling.
Tianniu was having fun pulling Yang Donghu's fingers, but the child had limited energy and soon fell asleep in his arms.
Several adults were still chatting, their voices much lower. Zhao Fangchu went into the house and got a thick piece of clothing to cover Tianniu.
It's not too cold today because the sun is out, but children are weak and it would be bad if they get sick after a nap.
Zhao Luochuan and Zhao Fangyu came down from the mountain and did not return to their own yard. Instead, they ran straight to the next door to pick up Yang Donghu and take him home.
They were going up the mountain, unaware of what was happening in the village, and wondering why the door was closed so tightly during the day.
This time, the two of them were not in the same place when they went up the mountain, hoping to find more prey. Zhao Fangyu finally encountered a group of wild goats, but perhaps due to his lack of experience, he disturbed the flock and only hunted a lone lamb.
The lamb was still small, not as big as an adult sheep, and did not have much meat. Zhao Fangyu was upset for a long time. If Zhao Luochuan were there, he could at least hunt another bigger one.
Zhao Luochuan was not as good as Zhao Fangyu. Maybe it was because of his bad luck this time. He didn't even see the shadow of large prey. He had to go to the river to catch some fresh spring fish. It was not a wasted trip. When he was about to return empty-handed, God blessed him and he came across a few nests of fat rabbits.
Zhao Fangyu told him about the sheep. Seeing that he was very worried, Zhao Luochuan comforted him by saying that it was just the beginning of spring and the weather had not yet warmed up, so he would encounter more sheep when he came back later.
This trip didn't yield much. When I arrived home with the prey, I found the door closed.
Zhu Cuilan heard the noise in the yard and came to open the door. Seeing that it was them, she said happily, "You're back so soon?"
Zhao Luochuan carried the pile of prey into the courtyard and replied with a smile, "There aren't many prey on the mountain right now. The prey has been alerted. It would be a waste of energy to continue. Brother Fang Yu and I have discussed it. We will come back and rest for two days before going again."
Yang Donghu was holding the child in his arms and it was inconvenient for him to stand up. He stretched his neck to look at the gate of the courtyard. Aunt Zhao was still sitting next to him. He was embarrassed to appear too anxious.
Zhao Fangchu ran to the door and took the things in their hands. In winter, the mountains were bare and there was nothing interesting. In spring, everything on the mountain grew, and some fruits that matured early were suitable for eating.
After searching for a while, he actually found a small bag of licorice roots wrapped in leaves.
This was the first time that Zhao Fangyu had obtained prey with his own ability. Although he lost the flock of sheep, it was enough to brag about for a while. He had some hunter skills. If it were someone else, let alone a flock of sheep, he would not even have a lamb.
Zhao Fangyu carried the lamb in and talked to Zhu Cuilan about the process of hunting the lamb, which made Zhu Cuilan sigh in admiration.
The first thing Zhao Luochuan did when he came in was to look for Yang Donghu. Seeing the child in his arms, he looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Aunt is here. Fang Chu, give her some licorice so she can take it back for the child to try."
"good."
A lot of prey was piled up in the yard. Aunt Zhao was also very curious. She stood up and came to Zhu Cuilan to look at it together. Hearing what she said, she smiled and said, "Oh, Dachuan is thoughtful."
Zhao Luochuan strode towards Yang Donghu and sat down beside him, making little noise. "I was wondering why I didn't see you when I opened the door. I've been gone for such a long time, and I don't think you missed me."
Yang Donghu pointed at the baby in his arms, indicating that he was tripped. He looked around and saw Aunt Zhao and Zhu Cuilan surrounding Zhao Fangyu to watch the lambs. Zhao Fangchu took the licorice roots to the well to wash them with water. No one paid any attention to him.
"I miss you." Yang Donghu leaned close to Zhao Luochuan and whispered.
It was easy to say such words in bed, and it wouldn't be embarrassing when there were only two of them. But now there were many people around, and there was another person in his arms, so Yang Donghu felt embarrassed and spoke a little too fast.
Zhao Luochuan guessed the whole sentence by half listening and half guessing, and was in a good mood.
He is a man and rarely holds a child. In the past, when he met a sweet girl, he would just coax her for fun. Now, seeing Yang Donghu holding a child in his arms, the longing for her that he had not seen for a few days was aroused again.
He poked the sweet girl's cheek with a light movement, turned his head and smiled at Yang Donghu, "You are better at taking care of children than I am. If I were here, I'm not sure if the child would fall asleep or not. I might even start crying first."
Yang Donghu smiled and said nothing when he heard his words.
Aunt Zhao had seen enough of the novelty before she remembered that her eldest granddaughter was still in Yang Donghu's arms. She hurried over to take the child. "Look at me, I was so busy seeing the novelty that I forgot the child was still asleep. Your hands must be sore. Come to me quickly, I'll take her back to bed."
Yang Donghu carefully placed the baby into Aunt Zhao's arms. Tianniu twisted her body but was not woken up. Yang Donghu handed the clothes to Aunt Zhao and asked her to wrap the child and go back.
Everyone had returned, and Aunt Zhao didn't want to disturb them any further. She said she would send the clothes over in the afternoon, and went back with the licorice roots that Zhao Fangchu had washed.
Zhu Cuilan saw Zhao Luochuan and Yang Donghu being intimate together and understood what was happening. She quickly asked them to go back to their yard to boil some water to wash away the dust.
When living in Zhu Cuilan's courtyard, Yang Donghu would come over every day to feed the chickens and sweep the floor, so there was no dust in the house.
The weather was not cold, so the stove didn't need to be kept burning all the time. It would be too difficult to light the stove again at this moment, so Yang Donghu just boiled a pot of water in the pot.
After running and jumping in the mountains these days, he was sweating all over and his coat was covered with dust. Zhao Luochuan took off his coat without waiting for the water to boil.
Yang Donghu was afraid that he would be cold, so he asked him to come over and sit by the pot to warm himself by the fire. Only then did he see that there was a large bruise on Zhao Luochuan's back.
