Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

Hua Boxun ignored his son's words and embraced the two children, saying with emotion: "They really look like your mother, so pretty."

"Your mother was very popular when she was little."

"Dad, they obviously don't look much like me, I don't know what you're looking at."

Hua Boxun endured it again and again, pretending not to hear what he said, and asked Hua Ke and Wen Chuzhao to go back to the house and sit down.

The two children saw the cave house for the first time and looked around curiously. (Refer to the bare cave house where Liu Ye and Nuoyi lived in the first episode of the third season of Where Are We Going, Dad?)

"Grandpa, will the soil above collapse?"

"Grandpa, why do you live in the kitchen? Where do you sleep?"

"It won't collapse. Many cave dwellings are like this. The stove is also inside the house. I sleep on the kang, and you and mom can sleep on it at night. Grandpa cleans it every day."

"Grandpa, what are you cooking in the pot?"

"Grandpa..."

The two children liked their kind grandfather very much. They pulled him to ask questions, and Hua Boxun answered every question without taking his eyes off the two lively children.

"Grandpa, where can I go to the toilet? I need to poop!"

Explosive Cannon grabbed the waistband of his pants and cried, "I can't hold it in anymore!"

"Outside, grandpa will take you there."

Hua Boxun took Zha Pao's hand and walked out, and Hua Mingli followed, "I'll go take a look too."

Hua Ke had already put away the things she had brought. She poured out the water from the pot and said, "Pumpkin, bring your clothes over here. We'll wash our faces and feet and put them on. Brother Zhao, mix some more flour so we can have steamed buns later."

"Row."

Wen Nanzhi sat on the kang, "Mom, it's so hard here, it's uncomfortable."

"You have to sleep even if you feel uncomfortable. Mom will add another layer of quilt for you."

"Sister-in-law, there is not much water left. There is no well here."

"I'll go and do it later. You take care of your niece."

When Hua Ke went out with two buckets, Wen Chuzhao asked in confusion, "Pumpkin, does your mother know where to fetch water?"

"Mom knows. She has a mouth. Uncle, mom said that when we go out and don't know where to go, we should be brave enough to ask others and don't be shy."

Not long after, Hua Ke came back with two full buckets of water and poured them into the vat by the door. It was not full yet, so she went out again.

When Hua Boxun led the group back, the steamed buns were already on the stove. Zha Pao hugged Hua Ke and complained, "Mom, the toilet here is too far away! Can I just pee outside on the hillside from now on?"

"Then what should I do? I'm a little girl and I can't show my embarrassing parts to others." Wen Nanzhi put his head on his hands and shook it from side to side.

Hua Boxun was amused by her cute appearance and tickled her chin like a cat, "Pumpkins are really cute.

Hua Ke took out the food and said, "Dad, this is what dad made for you. He said you like it."

"Your father is thoughtful, my daughter. Didn't he find a good father-in-law for you?"

"Well, my parents-in-law are great, my husband is great, and the bombers and pumpkins are even better."

Bombshell was confused, "Mom, who is your husband? I've never heard of him."

"Ha," Hua Mingli burst out laughing, "It's your dad, Zha Pao, you're a bit stupid."

"My uncle is stupid!"

"You're stupid."

"My little uncle is stupid!"

"You're stupid."

"Little! Uncle! Stupid!"

Zha Pao and Hua Mingli were like two parrots, repeating boring words.

After repeating this for more than a dozen times, Zha Pao became a little angry and hit Hua Mingli hard a few times, "Don't you dare say that to me again!"

"Hey, if you can't win an argument, I'll lose my temper and hit people. That's not okay."

Hua Ke punished Zha Pao with her eyes, "Wen Beicheng, you can't do this, apologize to your uncle."

Under the pressure of his mother, Zha Pao quickly said "I'm sorry" to Hua Mingli, ran to Wen Chuzhao to watch the fire, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, I like you more."

Hua Mingli: “…”

Hua Ke didn't intend to let Hua Mingli go, and grabbed his ear and shouted angrily, "You said my son is stupid?"

"It hurts! Sis! I was just kidding."

"Your joke is not funny at all! Don't make jokes about others in the future, you deserve a beating."

"Yeah." Hua Ke just let go of his hand, and Hua Mingli turned around and complained to his father, "Dad, look at my sister..."

"Shut up! If you can't speak, don't speak. No one thinks you are dumb." Hua Boxun couldn't stand it anymore and gave his upset son a slap in the face.

"If I don't speak, people will think I'm dumb." Hua Mingli covered his forehead and defended himself.

After eating a full meal on the kang, sleeping became a problem again.

There was only one kang in Hua Boxun's house, where Hua Ke and the two children slept.

"Dad, isn't there an empty cave next to it?"

"Someone just died, do you dare to go to sleep?"

"..."

After a few seconds, Hua Mingli asked again: "How did he die? Dad, were you the first to find out?"

Hua Boxun ignored him and went out in the dark. After a while, he asked Hua Mingli and Wen Chuzhao to follow him. There was an old friend on the farm who had a kang available, so they could squeeze in.

"Dad, we sleep over there, where are you going to sleep?"

"Sleep next door."

"Huh? You don't mind?"

Hua Boxun raised his voice a few notches, "He was a comrade who fought with me on the farm. How could I be afraid of him? I have lived through gunfire and hail of bullets for half my life, and I don't know how many comrades died around me. If they could stand by the bed and chat with me for a while, I don't know how happy I would be."

"It's a pity that they all went there to live a good life. They didn't even have a dream. These people are so heartless."

Hua Boxun thought of his deceased eldest son and lowered his voice a little, "Your brother was the same. He didn't want to see me after the accident. He blamed me. I'm sorry for him and your mother."

Hua Mingli was silent.

Putting himself in his elder brother's shoes, he finally understood the sentence, "Every ghost you are afraid of is someone that others miss day and night but cannot meet." (Excerpt from "Ghost Whisperer")

Wen Chuzhao didn't dare to say anything and looked at Hua Mingli. This guy said he wanted to join the army.

"Let's go, my old friend is still waiting."

Hua Mingli held onto Hua Boxun and said in a dull voice, "Dad, I'll sleep with you tonight, you just need to take Zhaodi with you."

Hua Boxun was a little surprised, "Aren't you afraid?"

"He can't come back to life and scare me."

Wen Chuzhao's brain suddenly twitched: "If you guys don't go, I won't go either. I'll squeeze in with you guys."

Hua Mingli squeezed him, "Why are you interfering in the matter between me and my father? Go away and don't get involved."

"I won't! If you don't go, I won't go either. I'll be wherever you are. You can't leave me." Wen Chuzhao grabbed his good brother's hand. He didn't want to live in a stranger's house alone. He needed company.

The atmosphere became tense. Hua Ke covered the two sleeping children with blankets and said, "If you are sure you are not going, let Dad tell others. It is getting late and we can't let them wait."

Hua Mingli: "I'm not going."

Wen Chuzhao: "I won't go either."

Three grown men, full of masculinity, he is not afraid!

But he doesn't want to sleep outside. He's not really afraid of ghosts. He's just afraid of falling off the kang at night. His sleeping posture is really bad.

Hua Boxun had no choice but to go on another journey alone. When he came back, he saw three children lighting kerosene lamps and tidying up the cave house of his old friend for him. From time to time, he could hear his daughter complaining that her two younger brothers were slow.

He stopped, his vision began to blur, and two lines of hot tears could not help but flow down his thin cheeks. It was so nice that among the thousands of lights, there was one that was lit for him. He was very happy today, and he was very happy.
