Sending Li Hua away, the two of them closed the courtyard door, and stood quietly not far away to watch Shi Ke and his son play games, the thin female doll was turning into a big tiger at the moment, tiptoeing towards Zhao Chen's hiding place.

The child is simple, thinking that if he can't see others, others can't see him, Zhao Chen is hiding his head behind the big broom sweeping the yard, and his little buttocks are exposed and motionless, when he sees Shi Ke shouting "ah", he shouted happily: "Caught you!" ”

The two children smiled brightly, and the more Zhao Liangsheng looked at it, the more sad they became, what a cute little girl, how could the fate be so catastrophic.

Yan Siqin was even more distressed, she walked up to Shi Ke and hugged Shi Ke's small body: "Poor girl." ”

Zhao Chen saw that his mother hugged Shi Ke a little protectively, and stretched his little arms around his mother's neck and begged for a hug.

Yan Siqin made a hard effort, and stood up with a child in his arms in one hand: "Don't play, hurry up and eat, Da Zhuang, come out quickly, eat." ”

Zhao Yu heard her mother calling her, got out of the hiding place, and was about to run into the house to eat, Yan Siqin took a sip and stopped: "Go to the well platform to wash your hands, play this time and your hands are dirty." ”

At that time, I chose to build a pressurized water well, mainly because there were children at home, and if it was that kind of wide-mouthed deep well, it would be dangerous for the child to accidentally fall down.

There is an iron bucket by the well, the water in the bucket is full at all times, Zhao Liangsheng has scooped the water into the wash basin, stepped forward to take Zhao Chen in Yan Siqin's arms and put it on the basin, Yan Siqin also put Shi Ke down, the three children around the wash basin to wash the little hands clean, Yan Siqin pulled down a towel from the clothesline to wipe the three pairs of little hands, and then led Shi Ke with one hand and Zhao Chen with the other hand to sit down at the dining table.

Placing the bowl in front of Shi Ke, Zhao Liangsheng handed another steamed bun to Shi Ke, and Shi Ke politely took it: "Thank you, mother, thank you, uncle." ”

Zhao Chen was reluctant again: "It's not an uncle, it's a father." ”

Why don't you call Uncle but call Dad? Shi Ke looked at Zhao Liangsheng, Zhao Liangsheng was looking at her with expectant eyes, no one objected? Then it should be shouting Dad: "Thank you, Dad." ”

"Hey---!" Zhao Liangsheng's face bloomed with a smile: "Be good, eat quickly." ”

Zhao Yu had already eaten a lot, and his mouth was full of food: "Sister, how old are you?" ”

"I'm almost 5 years old, and my mother said that it will be my birthday not long after the Dragon Boat Festival."

"I'm not even 5 years old, then you have to call me big brother, I'm more than 7 years old." After speaking, he didn't forget to be a big brother, and gave Shi Ke a chopstick and an egg.

"You have to call me second brother." Zhao Chen also followed the example of the eldest brother and sandwiched an egg for Shi Ke, Zhao Chen's hands were small, and the chopsticks were not good for falling, and the egg did not fall down halfway.

"Why do you call you second brother, how old are you?" In Shi Ke's eyes, Zhao Chen was so small, he didn't look like a brother at all.

"I'm almost four years old." Zhao Chen raised his left hand and gestured to a 4.

You want me to call you brother when you're younger than me? Shi Ke was unwilling: "I won't call you second brother, I'm almost 5 years old, you are less than 4 years old, I am more than a year older than you, you are a younger brother, you should call me sister." ”

Zhao Chen was not convinced: "Our family is not calculated according to the size, but according to the time of coming to the house, you see that the eldest brother came first, and then me, you are the last to come, so you should call me the second brother." ”

Well, there are still such rules in this family! Shi Ke thought for a while and said, "Then I can't call you second brother, you are younger than me, otherwise I will call you little brother." ”

The little brother is also a brother, and it's okay to call the little brother. Zhao Chen was satisfied, and put another piece of egg into Shi Ke's bowl: "Sister, you eat." ”

Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin watched the interaction of the children's childish words, and their faces were full of loving smiles.

After dinner, Yan Siqin boiled a large pot of water and bathed everyone, mainly for Shi Ke to wash, the smell of the little girl was really not good, when she first entered the house to hug her, she thought it was Comrade Li's daughter who was embarrassed to say, and muttered in her heart: This Comrade Li cleaned up so cleanly, why the child's clothes are so dirty and I don't know how to change them.

The large wooden basin is still made of leftover materials from the furniture when he got married, the basin is very large, and it seems that Shi Ke, who is sitting in the basin, is thin and small, Yan Siqin thought while washing Shi Ke's little arms and legs: The child looks like this, how much hardship has he suffered along the way to lose weight like this. How could she have thought that although Shi Ke was thin, his bones were full of meat.

At this time, Yan Siqin was really full of maternal love, and she didn't know how to vent her motherly heart, she gently helped Shi Ke scrub her back, thinking about what delicious things to cook tomorrow, she wanted to raise her little girl for nothing.

Zhao Chen had to join in the fun, so he stripped himself naked in three or two times, and jumped into the basin with the yellow rubber duck in his arms.

Shi Ke didn't pay attention to splashing the water all over his face, the water splashed on his face, Shi Ke subconsciously closed his eyes, wiped the water on his face with his little hands, and when he opened his eyes, Zhao Chen had already sat down, she turned her head to Yan Siqin with a wrinkled face, and the accusation was clearly written in her eyes: Mother, look at the little brother.

Yan Siqin understood, stretched out his index finger and nodded on Zhao Chen's head: "What are you doing here, why don't you go to your father." ”

Zhao Chen flattered the yellow duck and handed it to Shi Ke: "Sister, play for you." He pinched a few times while talking, and the small whistle on the duck made a chirp sound, Shi Ke was curious, and then he pinched it for a while, and when the curiosity was satisfied, the two small ones began to let the duck float on the water, you push it to me, and I pushed it to you to play.

The water gradually dissipated the temperature, Yan Siqin was afraid that the two children would catch a cold, so he took out the cleaned Shi Ke and Zhao Chen and put them on the bed, and found Zhao Chen's small clothes for Shi Ke to change into, don't look at Shi Ke is more than a year older than Zhao Chen, but because of his thin figure, Zhao Chen's clothes are just right on his body.

After washing, the family sat in the courtyard and chatted, and on the moon, Yan Siqin washed and changed his clothes and discussed with Zhao Liangsheng: "Zhuang's father, you take the time to pull a few feet of cloth back tomorrow, and I will make a change of clothes for my daughter." ”

Yan Siqin has always wanted to have a girl, even what kind of hairstyle to comb, and how to dress up, and today she finally got her wish, and she desperately wants to put those ideas into practice.

Zhao Chen was very honest, he nestled in Zhao Liangsheng's arms, he felt that there was still a big thing to do, that is, the new sister had not yet been named, so he discussed with his father: "Dad, let's give my sister a name." ”

Shi Kezheng was obediently sitting on the bench holding the yellow duck and watching Yan Siqin wash clothes, and when he heard that he was going to name her, he raised his head in confusion: I have a name.

Zhao Yu stopped playing with crickets, and made suggestions on the small bench next to his father: "Dad, it's called Huahua." ”

Zhao Chen directly vetoed: "The dog of the second mother's family is called Huahua, and my sister can't have a dog name." Then he looked at Zhao Liangsheng: "Dad, do you think it's okay for me to name my sister Zhao Dan?" ”

"Flutter!" Yan Siqin was talking to Zhao Liangsheng, and when he heard his son give such a name, he almost didn't let his saliva choke on himself.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Liangsheng and his family were overjoyed, Zhao Yu also laughed and fell, pointing at Shi Ke and shouting: "Hahaha, Zhao Dan, hahaha...... it's better to call it Huahua." ”

As soon as he heard that he was named Zhao Dan, Shi Ke blew up at that time, and jumped to resist: "I'm not called Zhao Dan!" My name is Shi Ke, lovely Ke! ”

Shi Ke's little face turned red with anger, she likes to eat eggs, but it's one thing to like eggs, it's absolutely impossible to call her an egg, how ugly it is. She ran to Yan Siqin's side and snuggled up to her mother's lap, her aggrieved eyes were red, and tears turned and turned in her eyes, but she finally couldn't hold back, and she fell down: "Mother, I don't want to call Zhao Dan." ”

The names of the family are all meaningful, and Zhao Chenjue has the obligation to explain the origin of this name clearly: "Dad said that the eldest brother was picked up on a rainy day, so it is called Zhao Yu, I was picked up by my father on the way down the ground in the morning, so my name is Zhao Chen, you are the one I and my father sold eggs to pick up, it stands to reason that you should be named Zhao Dan." ”

Shi Ke was even more aggrieved, and his little body twisted around: "Mother, my name is Coco, not Zhao Dan." ”

Yan Siqin's hands were full of soap bubbles, she put her hands in the basin and washed them, and hugged Shi Ke to her lap and coaxed: "Good, let's not cry, let's not call Zhao Dan, let's still call Coco." ”

Seeing that his mother vetoed his proposal, Zhao Chen was puzzled and asked Zhao Liangsheng: "Dad, is Zhao Dan bad?" Obviously, we sold eggs and picked them up. ”

Zhao Liangsheng kissed his son's little face: "Son, the name of the little girl can't be the same as the little boy, that has to be good, otherwise when someone else calls Zhao Dan when he goes out, how ugly it is, you see that the sister of our front yard ** family is called Huihui, and the sister of your second mother's family is called Meizi, although the sister is picked up by us selling eggs, then it can't be called Zhao Dan directly, don't you say?" ”

"Okay then, then my sister's name is still Coco." Zhao Chen compromised: "But you have to be called Zhao Ke, you can't call Shi Ke, our family is surnamed Zhao, and my sister must also be surnamed Zhao." ”

It's getting late, the stars are tired from blinking and blinking, and the three little ones are sleepy. When the three children fell asleep in bed, Yan Siqin went to wash the clothes out and dry them again.

"Morning damn, there is no rain tonight, don't it rain at night, your clothes will be washed in vain." Zhao Liangsheng looked up at the sky, in the dark night sky, the half moon slowly moved westward with the starry sky.

"Don't worry, this day, it can't go down, his father, do you think Coco can still find a home?" Yan Siqin smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, sat down next to Zhao Liangsheng, and leaned on Zhao Liangsheng's arms.

Zhao Liangsheng lowered his head and kissed the top of Yan Siqin's hair: "It's difficult, I think it's difficult, Comrade Li also said, China is too big, and finding a home for Coco is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I don't think this needle is so easy to fish." ”

"Yes, the child is really pitiful, leaving his father and mother at such a young age." Yan Siqin sighed: "Fortunately, there are still us, we all say that there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, this is not false at all, I have only heard of human traffickers and human traffickers before, and I have never seen what human traffickers look like, and the word bad guy cannot be written on his face, in the future, we will take a good look at our three children, but there can be no more mistakes, alas, when I think of the child losing my heart, I feel worried, you say that the life of Coco's father and mother can be lived." ”
