Qin Yi and Tan Wu paid attention to Yue'er's every move every day. Yue'er can turn over, Yue'er will sit, Yue'er will crawl, Yue'er can stand, Yue'er will go.

Not everything is smooth sailing. For example, climbing, Yue'er seems to be trying to save trouble, and always crawls on the bed. Climb as much as you want, Qin Yi didn't take it seriously at first. Later, he read a book on this subject, and only then did he know: Yue'er is not climbing, but crawling. And the real crawl is when the body has to leave the bed, and only the hands and legs touch the ground. The book says that climbing is very important for children's growth and development, and for children's mastery of balance.

In order to train Yue'er to climb, Qin Yi and Tan Wu really worked hard. They held Yue'er's abdomen with their hands, and Yue'er crawled well when they were holding it, but as soon as they took Yue'er away, they immediately fell down. Qin Yi said to Tan Wu that he felt that Yue'er seemed to be deliberate, Tan Wu said that Yue'er was smart, and this was a lot of heart. Anyway, Yue'er will still climb in the end, and she will climb very fast, and if she doesn't pay attention to it, she will fall from the bed to the ground.

Every progress of Yue'er makes them infinitely happy. Especially when Yue'er can say that she is alive. Yue'er should be called Qin Yi's father and Tan Wu's grandfather. Interestingly, Yue'er was called father and grandfather almost at the same time.

When Tan Wu heard Yue'er call him grandfather, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He ran out of the house and shouted loudly: "I'm going to be a grandfather, I'm going to be a grandfather...... After returning to the house, he was still excited, and kept saying: "Fortunately, I didn't give Yue'er away, if there was no Yue'er, how would we live?"

When Yue'er was two years old, Qin Yi read a book in which he wrote about the importance of the environment to the growth of children. Qin Yi suddenly realized that it was not conducive to her growth to let Yue'er live in a deserted environment all the time, and it was time to change the environment for Yue'er.

After talking to Uncle Wu about his thoughts, Tan Wu felt that this would take a big risk, but in this family, is there anything more important than Yue'er's affairs?

Because it was inconvenient to ride a horse with Yue'er, they bought a carriage. Thinking of what the master said, they came to Changzhi in the city.

Qin Yi, who loves to read, learned from the book: Changzhi is located at the western foot of the middle section of Taihang Mountain, and it is another birthplace of the descendants of Yan and Huang. The ancestor Emperor Yan once tasted herbs, knew grains, and taught farming here, and was known as the hometown of Emperor Yan. The ancient Li country once built its capital here, calling the people Li people, and the so-called Li people originated from this. Therefore, Qin Yi has long been full of yearning for this place.

They rented an independent courtyard in the center of the city, and Qin Yi took Yue'er to play with the neighbors' children every day.

From the depths of the mountains to densely populated places, Yue'er feels fresh everywhere. The hearts of children are connected, and Yue'er quickly integrates into the children's group.

Seeing Yue'er happy every day, Qin Yi and Tan Wu were very happy. The Lu merchants of the Jin merchant branch are active here, and the production, supply and sales of iron tools here are in full swing, which also makes this place a rich place.

Seeing the neighbors who were busy every day, Qin Yi felt that he was bored with nothing to do all day, and sometimes, he also had the idea of doing something.

Children playing together are also divided into groups, and they can only play together when they are about the same age, which Qin Yi recently discovered.

There are three children in the neighborhood who are the same age as Yue'er, and the time is common, and the four of Yue'er form a small group.

Although there is no agreement, it has gradually formed a more fixed place, a fixed time.

The children are carried by the adults in the family, and not only the children have become partners, but also the adults with the children have become acquaintances and even friends.

If someone has something, they will entrust their children to others for a short time, and no matter who they entrust to, they will do their best.

It's just that of the three children, two are taken by the grandfather and one by the mother. The young father only took him, and Qin Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, he encountered another problem.

One day, Yue'er went home and asked him: "Changgui said, he is a man, a big man, a man, a big hero, this is it." As she spoke, Yue'er gave her a thumbs up. Changgui is a boy who plays with Yue'er. "He said I was a woman, a little woman, this was this. As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up. "Why is it that men are big heroes and women are like this?"

"Yue'er, Changgui's words are not right, if you are not a man, you must be a big hero, and women also have big heroes, and female heroes are more heroic than men. For example, Mulan. She is a girl, and there is going to be someone in the family to join the army, and her father is old and her brother is still young, so she joins the army for her father,......"

"Daddy, what do you mean by being in the army?"

"To join the army is to join the army, pick up a knife and a gun and go to war. ”

"What is war?" Yue'er asked again.

"To fight a war is to ...... Fighting a war is fighting, haven't you ever seen a child fighting? "What is a war? It's really hard to explain to a child.

"How can a hero be a hero in a fight? Grandpa Xiaomei said that a child who fights is not a good child, is Grandpa Xiaomei right? ”

Qin Yi didn't expect Xiao Yue'er to ask this, he thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Xiaomei is right, a child who fights is definitely not a good child, but fighting is not the same as fighting, Mulan going to fight in the army is not a child's nonsense, she is fighting for the country, by the way, fighting for the country is a hero." Qin Yi was relieved and let out a long breath.

"Daddy, what is a country. ”

What is a country? Qin Yi really hadn't thought about it, and he didn't know how to explain it clearly to a child of Yue'er's age.

But Yue'er's question must be answered.

"The country is all of us, many, many of us. With you, with Daddy, Grandpa, Changgui, Xiaomei, and Guifang, and their families, there are many, many people, for the country, that is, for all of us, for the sake of so many people to fight, can they not be heroes?"

"With whom does the state fight?"

Why do Yue'er have so many questions today, "And the country, other countries, this world is not one country, there are many, many countries." ”

"Why do people from other countries fight?"

"It's also for the country?" Qin Yi replied without thinking.

"Fighting for the sake of the country is a hero, isn't that a hero fighting with a hero, why do heroes and heroes fight. ”

"In fact, fighting for the country is not the same, because some countries are good countries, some countries are bad countries, fighting for good countries is heroes, fighting for bad countries is not heroes. ”

"But, Daddy just said that fighting for the country is a hero?"

"What my father said just now is not complete, it should be a hero to fight for a good country, yes, it is a hero to fight not for the country, it depends on whether it is a good country or a bad country. ”

"Is Mulan fighting for the good country?"

Qin Yigang wanted to say that of course Mulan was fighting for the good country, but he didn't say it. Because he really doesn't know whether the country that Mulan fights for is a good country or a bad country, he can't deceive Yue'er, and he can't perfunctory Yue'er.

"Yue'er, Daddy wants to tell you, whether the country you asked Mulan to fight for is a good country or a bad country, Daddy doesn't know yet, and when Daddy understands, Daddy will tell you. ”

"No, Daddy, you're not right. ”

"Yue'er, what's wrong?"

"How could my dad not know, my dad knows everything. ”

"Yue'er, Daddy wants to tell you, Daddy doesn't know everything, no, Daddy doesn't know a lot of things, many, many. ”

"No, no, my dad just knows everything. My dad is the most amazing guy, my dad is a big hero, an amazing big hero. Yue'er was so anxious that she cried.

Qin Yi didn't expect that he was so great in the eyes of his daughter, and a warm current welled up in his heart.

He hugged Yue'er in his arms and pressed his face against Yue'er's immature little face, "Yue'er, maybe Daddy can't become a big hero, but Daddy promises my Yue'er." Daddy will definitely be a good person, a person who stands up to the sky, and a person who makes my moon proud at all times. ”

One day, Yue'er came back from outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Daddy, does everyone have a mother?"

"All wow. Definitely. ”

"What about my mother?"

"Your mother ?......" Qin Yi was stunned, not knowing how to answer, because he didn't know either. He couldn't figure it out, how could Yue'er appear in the deep mountains and old forests?

Is it an abandoned baby? Judging from the clothes she was wearing and the small quilt she was wearing when she was picked up, she didn't look like a family that couldn't afford to raise a child without food or clothing. Besides, abandoned babies should be placed in crowded places to facilitate adoption by well-wishers, and there is no reason to throw them in uninhabited places.

Is it seeking revenge? Is it this way to avenge the revenger? How can you treat such a child so despicably?

He has also discussed with the fifth uncle many times. The fifth uncle said that there is another possibility, that is, to worship the mountain god, and in some places there is this custom, using children to worship the river god and the mountain god.

"What kind of mountain god do you worship? It's not that the beast eats it, how can there be such a stupid person. Qin Yi said angrily.

"No way, this is belief, people believe this, what can you do?" Tan Wu shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that a lot of faith is harmful. Qin Yi said.

Yes, belief comes from ignorance. I don't understand anything, I believe what others say. Especially for those who have all kinds of halos on their bodies, the deception is even greater. As he spoke, Tan Wu picked up an egg casually. "This egg is round, you know. If someone says yes, will you believe it? Of course, there are also things that refer to the deer as a horse, that is, people have to willingly worship the powerful or the gods for a certain purpose. ”

Regarding the fifth master's words, Qin Yi thought about it for many days.

Every time the fifth uncle went out, Qin Yi also asked him to pay attention to inquire and pay attention to the situation about Yue'er's life experience, but there were no clues. He knew that this was a problem that he would have to face sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Qin Yi thought for a moment, "Yue'er, Daddy and you have something to discuss, is it okay?"

"Daddy and I have something to talk about?"

"Yes, my Yue'er is the most important person in this family, and my father needs to discuss something with Yue'er. ”

"Alright then, Daddy will discuss. Yue'er said as seriously as a little adult.
