Seeing Fu Yuting enter the house, Wang Xiangshan greeted the children.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and say goodbye. If you can't find a wild boar, a wild rabbit or a pheasant will be fine."
He was just talking casually.
But that night, Daya found a pheasant so fat that it couldn't fly in their yard.
Of course, that’s a later story.
It was almost noon when Tian Chengcheng, Fu Xinhan and Tian Hengyuan left Shanqian Village, so their trip to the city had to be postponed to tomorrow.
All three of them looked very embarrassed, especially Tian Chengcheng, whose big slap mark on her fair cheek was very eye-catching.
"Fubao, does it hurt?" Fu Xinhan looked at Tian Chengcheng's little face, feeling distressed.
Tian Chengcheng pouted and said, "It hurts."
It hurt, but it was within her tolerance. She just wanted Fu Xinhan to remember this slap firmly.
She took this for him.
Fu Xinhan suddenly panicked. Looking at her face, he couldn't even think of a word of comfort.
He never comforted anyone.
"Brother Han, doesn't your mother protect you when you are beaten?" Tian Chengcheng asked with tears in her eyes and choked.
Fu Xinhan shook his head.
"A mother should protect her child. She doesn't love you. Brother Han, you should live with grandma from now on. Let your uncle protect you. I can protect you too! When you grow up and can beat your father, you can go back."
Tian Chengcheng said word by word.
With a pair of watery eyes, she said, "If you go back now, they will definitely beat you again. I don't want you to get beaten."
Fu Xinhan pursed his lips, feeling sorry for Fubao, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Tian Hengyuan.
Of course he wanted to be with Fubao, but one more child meant one more mouth to feed, one more drink, and one more set of clothes to buy.
Although he could provide for his own food and drink, he did not dare to agree directly.
Tian Hengyuan looked at Fu Xinhan's pleading eyes and felt sad when he thought of the scene of him being kicked out of the door.
They were all sensible children, yet they were treated so harshly...
"That's all the conditions we have at home. If you don't mind, you can stay here and sleep in the same room with me. We don't need a bite to eat anyway. I will work hard and save money with you. In the fall, you two will go to school."
At this moment, he decided that he would support both of them in school, even if he had to give up college.
"Really?" Tian Chengcheng asked happily.
She is not interested in going to school, but the opportunity to go to school is obviously very precious at the moment, so she has to show some appreciation.
"Of course it's true. Uncle always keeps his word." Tian Hengyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He found that after making up his mind, he felt relaxed.
There is nothing to hesitate about, just run forward.
"Uncle, let's ask grandma first." Although Fu Xinhan really wanted to stay in the Tian family, he still felt it was not a good idea, after all, he was an outsider.
Tian Chengcheng could see that the child was sensitive and fragile.
That strong appearance is just his way of protecting himself.
Thinking of his experience, Tian Chengcheng felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly wanted to hug this unfortunate child.
Thinking of this, Tian Chengcheng hugged Fu Xinhan.
"What a poor child! Wuwuwu~~~"
"...Fubao? Don't cry, why are you crying? Does your face hurt?" Fu Xinhan was frightened.
Tian Hengyuan was also shocked. He pulled Tian Chengcheng off Fu Xinhan and looked her up and down. "Fubao, does it hurt anywhere? Tell your uncle quickly."
"..." Tian Chengcheng looked at the two of them with tears in her eyes.
Hey, she forgot again that she is the youngest one, how can she hug and comfort others?
Just to be comforted!
For a moment, Tian Chengcheng didn't know how to explain, so she listened to Tian Hengyuan find an excuse for her.
"Be good, Fubao, don't cry. You must have been scared just now. It's okay, it's okay!"
Tian Hengyuan picked her up as he spoke, gently patting her back to comfort her with one hand, and pulling her earlobe and rubbing it.
"Good boy, you're not scared. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Tian Hengyuan repeated the same words over and over again, his voice choked several times.
But his attitude is pious and serious.
Tian Chengcheng felt very embarrassed.
She knew that this was a saying of the older generation in the countryside. If a child was frightened, they would touch the child's ears and call the child's name several times. This would call back the frightened soul and the child would not get sick again.
Whether it works or not is another matter, but Tian Chengcheng is really touched by the simple and unpretentious wish!
For the rest of the journey, Tian Hengyuan carried Tian Chengcheng on his back. No matter what Tian Chengcheng said, he refused to put her down, for fear that she would be exhausted.
Because the three of them were in such a mess, they decided to go to the river to wash themselves first.
Tian Chengcheng was also shocked when she saw her cheek in the reflection. Children's skin is so delicate that a slap can have such an effect, which is amazing!
Fu Xinhan felt extremely guilty when he saw her face.
He took off his coat and threw it into the river. After washing it, he handed it to Tian Chengcheng, "Fubao, use this to wipe your face. I've washed it clean."
Tian Chengcheng was stunned again.
She thought Fu Xinhan was just washing the dirty clothes, but she didn't expect that he was actually doing it to wipe her face.
Meeting Fu Xinhan's cautious gaze, she smiled.
"Brother Han, thank you."
After wiping his face, Tian Chengcheng returned the clothes to him. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, squatted by the river, washed it, and handed it to Fu Xinhan, "Brother Han, wipe your face too."
"...Yeah." Fu Xinhan looked at the handkerchief for a long time before he took it and wiped his face silently.
Tian Chengcheng looked at his expression and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
After cleaning up, the sun was shining brightly, so Tian Chengcheng lay down on the grass and enjoyed a sunbath.
