"Shidan, Shidan, where are you? Don't scare Dad. I'm going to make you egg custard right now."
Shi Tian searched back and forth from the entrance to the end of the village many times, but when he didn't see Shi Dan, he became obviously panicked.
"Shi Tian, don't be too anxious. He might find a haystack and fall asleep like last time." Captain Zhao patted Shi Tian's shoulder and comforted him softly.
"I shouldn't have been mean to the child this morning. If he wanted to eat egg custard, I would have made it for him. Why was he being so stubborn?" As he spoke, Shi Tian slapped himself several times.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? If there's a problem, solve it. Even if you have to cripple yourself, you have to find the child first. Maybe the child just hid away because he was having fun."
Before Su Qing and Cheng Fangyi reached the village entrance, they saw a group of people holding torches coming towards them.
Shidan, who was sitting on the front bar, had fallen asleep, with half of his body leaning on Cheng Fangyi.
When the two got closer, they realized that it was the village chief and his men.
"Hey, why is Shidan with you guys?"
Su Qing and Xia Juhua had a big fight that day, and everyone in the village knew about their conflict.
Now, seeing Su Qing and Shidan coming back together out of the blue, he felt a little surprised.
"Shitian, hurry up, Shidan is here."
Shi Tian rushed up like crazy.
"Shidan, where have you been? Daddy is so worried."
Perhaps Shi Tian hugged the person too tightly, and the sleeping Shi Dan was woken up by the stranglehold, frowning and groaning.
After howling twice, she realized that the person holding her was Shi Tian, and she burst into tears.
"Daddy, daddy, mommy doesn't want me anymore, she doesn't want my balls anymore, wuwuwu..."
Shidan cried heart-wrenchingly, with long and short cries that frightened everyone who saw him, fearing that the child would suffocate from crying.
The village chief saw that the child had been found and said slowly, "Now that the child is back, let's go. It's very cold today, don't let him get any colder."
Every year people in the village freeze to death, especially children who don’t know the difference between cold and warmth.
The huge crowd dispersed in an instant.
Su Qing also urged Cheng Fangyi to go home quickly.
Shi Tian was just about to apologize to Su Qing and his wife when he realized they had already walked away.
He also went home with the stone egg.
Because the stone egg was lost, the Shi family went out to look for it without even having dinner.
The food must have gone cold by now.
"Dad, brother, it's time to eat."
Shitou hadn't gone to bed yet, and smoke was coming out of the kitchen. In the earthenware pot was porridge from the canteen, with three corn cakes on top.
"Did your grandma eat?"
"She ate it. I was afraid that grandma would be hungry, so I let her eat first. I guess she's asleep by now."
Looking at his well-behaved eldest son, Shi Tian finally felt less depressed.
"Let's eat, Shidan. Sit down first while Dad makes the egg custard."
After walking all the way back, Shidan's mood calmed down.
Sitting at the dinner table with tears on her face.
Shitou sat in the corner, looking at this strange brother from afar.
"Hurry up, it's time to eat."
Shi Tian brought a bowl of egg custard to the table, first gave half to Shi Tou, and then gave the remaining half to Shi Dan.
Surprisingly, Shidan stopped making a fuss and took the spoon and started eating obediently.
Perhaps he was hungry, Shidan ate half a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of porridge before stopping.
At night, the two children lay beside Shi Tian.
Even when Shidan fell asleep, he was still holding the corner of Shitian's clothes in his hand.
From time to time, he would say, "No, I want my dad, go home."
Shi Tian was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
When I woke up the next day, there was no one beside me.
In the yard, Shitou was warming the food he brought back from the canteen, and Shidan was squatting on the ground playing with a spinning top.
Two strands of green snot flowed out of his nostrils and were sucked back into his mouth. Seeing Shi Tian, he called him "Dad" very obediently.
"Shidan, stop playing and have breakfast."
"Here I come, brother."
Shi Tian was very surprised at Shidan's transformation.
But I am also a little curious about what the stone egg went through to undergo such a transformation.
This doubt was answered in the afternoon.
"Hey, Shi Tian family, yesterday your Shi Dan said he was going to look for Xia Juhua. I happened to be going back to my parents' home, so I gave him a ride. Today, as soon as I entered the house, I heard my wife say that Shi Dan was missing, so I thought I'd come and tell you."
"No need, sister-in-law, Shidan is back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Hearing that Shidan was going back to his grandmother's house, Shi Tian became a little worried and quickened his pace to go home.
In just one day, Shitou and Shidan had become as close as brothers, chasing each other around the yard.
"father……"
"father……"
Seeing Shi Tian's figure, they both shouted in unison.
"Shidan, come here and tell Dad what you did yesterday."
Unexpectedly, Shidan's whole face was wrinkled, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Please tell Dad that if anyone bullies Shidan, Dad will help you beat him back."
"Really? Dad, will you help me beat up Gou Sheng?"
Gousheng was the child that Xia's mother brought to the Shi family that day. He was also Xia Juhua's eldest nephew from her mother-in-law's family, who was raised by her husband's family with all her money.
Shidan told the story of yesterday in a disjointed manner, with sadness all over his little face.
It turned out that after Shidan was taken back to Xia Juhua's parents' home by someone from the same village yesterday, he knocked on the Xia family's door with joy.
"Who are you? Why are you knocking? The door is made of iron. If you break it, you have to pay for it."
