Chris covered his hands when he was beaten by his daughter-in-law just after trying to steal something on the table.

Watching his daughter-in-law pacing back and forth in the front yard while looking at the roadside going down the hill, she nagged:

"Why haven't you come back yet, I usually come back early for dinner, I heard the village chief say that Lei Yin Mountain is not very safe recently, and someone has seen the traces of demonic beasts on the edge of the outer forest." ”

Chris looked at his red hands and looked at the purple spotted dog on the edge of the yard happily eating his breakfast, comforting his daughter-in-law:

"Now that summer is coming, it's just some low-level magical beasts coming out of the forest to cool off, and those two little guys are just a little in front of the door, don't worry, don't you see if they're back." ”

In the distance, along the way down the mountain, two little ones ran towards the yard one after the other like two penguins.

"yes, yes, I'll get there first, I'll choose the chicken leg first!"

Jack shouted out of breath, his rapid breathing not dampening his excitement in the slightest. Little Ryan arrived in the courtyard a little behind Little Jack, and when he saw that he was not the first to arrive, he was slightly disappointed.

Chris and his wife, Merlene, gave each other a surprised look, this was the first time in a month that little Ryan had other expressions and movements since Ray left. Except for the chewing action when eating, Xiao Ryan usually stays there in a daze like a puppet with a blank face at other times.

Ryan felt the look from the Chriss, and looked unusually reserved. I don't think anyone has paid such attention to him yet.

Merlin gently approached Ryan, her gaze softened, and gently stroked little Ryan's back to help him breathe smoothly and rapidly.

"Look at you who are tired, you have chicken legs to eat, come and eat quickly. ”

As he spoke, he took Little Ryan's hand and sat down at the table, and then, under the direct gaze of Little Jack and Little Ryan, he tore the two golden chicken legs from a fat roasted pheasant on the table and put them in the bowl in front of them. Little Jack started to move with a "whine", and Little Lane timidly glanced at the gentle-eyed Merlin.

"Thanks... Thank... Thank you. ”

Ryan timidly squeezed a few words out of his mouth.

Merlin was overjoyed, this was the first time Little Ryan had spoken to them.

"Eat what you like, kids. ”

Chris himself finally ate the delicious meal on the table, watching Merlin keep filling Ryan's bowl with vegetables, and said to little Ryan with a sip of wine.

Little Ryan glanced at Chris across the table, mumbled, grabbed the big chicken leg in the bowl and nibbled on it. Although he had been here for a month, and every meal prepared by the Chris family was extraordinarily rich, and today's breakfast was not more elaborate and special than usual, this meal was the best meal he had ever eaten in Rean's opinion. From time to time, the banquet was mixed with the sound of Merlin serving food to the children and the roar of Jack eating excitedly.

In a few moments, a hearty breakfast was wiped out, and only one table of empty plates remained. Little Ryan watched Little Jack touch his little belly with satisfaction, and he unconsciously learned. It drew laughter from everyone.

Little Ryan shyly lowered his head, his face feeling hot. At this time, a warm hand gently touched little Ryan's head.

"Little Ryan, don't be afraid, if you can, call me Aunt May, of course I'll be happier if you call me Mom. ”

Merlin gently stroked Ryan's hair.

"Little Jack is the same age as you, you will be brothers in the future, although Chris looks unserious and unreliable, but he has a good relationship with Ray, and he will be called uncle in the future." From now on, this is your home. ”

"And the little dragon. Little Jack pointed to the purple spotted dog in the yard who had finished his breakfast and was lying under the eaves basking in the sun.

The purple spotted dog Xiaolong raised his head and glanced at Xiao Lien, who knew each other.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Uncle Chris, across the table, coughed twice in embarrassment, cleared his throat, and folded his hands.

"Today, Mrs. Lo cleaned up the table, and I took the children to prepare. ”

As he spoke, he turned to little Jack and turned to walk to the backyard. Little Jack understood and pulled little Ryan to follow. Mei Lin's teeth itched angrily on the side: Okay, you two, you slipped away without helping to clean up after eating, for the sake of making you bleed today, I will spare you.

Chris took the two little ones to the bamboo forest in the backyard, and not long after the sun climbed the mountain, the warm sunlight shone through the cracks in the bamboo forest, sprinkling on the three of them, and the three of them involuntarily made lazy sounds. After a few moments, Chris cleared his throat and pulled everyone's spirits back.

"Today is the end of the month, and our family is going to go shopping in the city for a while..... Ah no, procurement, we'll play in the city, ah no, procurement for two days, little Ryan, did Lao Lei take you to the city. ”

"No, we've been in the wilderness and in the mountains, and we've passed through some villages at most. Uncle Chris". Little Ryan was obviously a little unaccustomed to calling people like that. Chris wasn't surprised when he heard this, this is Ray's style.

"Little Ryan, your Uncle Lei entrusted you to me before he left, and I promised him that I would treat you like my own son, so this time I went to the city to deal with and purchase daily necessities, and I also had to make you a few close-fitting clothes. ”

Chris said as he looked at Little Ryan loosely dressed in Little Jack's clothes.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I have to be worthy of my promise, I will train you to be a man who stands up to the sky, so that you have the ability to follow in the footsteps of your Uncle Lei on your own, are you ready. ”

"Hmm!"

Little Ryan nodded heavily, his eyes shining.

"So when you get to the city, everything is listened to me, and if Aunt May doesn't see me, you have to tell Aunt May, Uncle Chris is going to help you prepare the materials, you know. ”

"Okay, Uncle Chris. ”

Although Ryan didn't quite understand the logic of Chris's words, since it was Ray who said it, he had to listen to it.

Chris nodded with satisfaction and took Ryan to the room to pack up.

On an early summer morning, the sun climbed completely above the hillside and warmed every inch of the village.

Chris's family was also preparing to officially leave, and Chris could have left earlier, but Merlin spent an hour and a half in the morning packing up.

Although Chris had his daughter-in-law buried in his mouth, when Merlin came out of the room, he still looked at Chris in a daze.

Mei Lin wears a pale yellow flower-shaped bud-edged sunhat obliquely on her head, slightly covering Shaohua, her face is moisturized and slightly decorated with powder, her hair is tied up behind her head, and a light green tunic skirt reaches her ankles, adding a touch of coolness to the morning sun, and the close-fitting cut sets off the rich pair of green peaks, and the simple corset outlines a moving arc, and also sets off the tall figure, which is simply full of legs below the waist, and puts on a pair of khaki women's floral pattern sandals, which makes people unable to think of being a mother, and living off a young girl. In Merlene's words, time and dress up are directly proportional, and today under Chris's repeated urging, it took half an hour less today, barely getting by.

Chris who looked at his daughter-in-law for a long time with his eyes hooked up was still wearing a light gray close-fitting long-sleeved shirt, dark pants, black boots, and standard mainland adventurer attire as usual, simple and decent, and at the same time, Chris's slightly thin figure was set off a little more vigorous, and he had a momentum of his own.

And Kejie and Ryan Jr. were both wearing small new bright white clothes, with some small embroidered patterns on the neckline, and the handiwork was fine, and the two looked at them from behind as if they were brothers.

Chris looked at everyone with satisfaction, turned around and told Xiaolong to take good care of the house, and then led everyone to the direction of the village.
