The little guy finally laughed. He was so excited that he threw the slingshot aside. He stretched out his arms and hugged Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi's necks tightly, and kissed them on the face several times.

Her smiling eyes are like two little stars, so beautiful.

Chu Jinzhou also had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of envy in that smile.

He looked down at the slingshot at his waist and blinked slightly.

Shen Zhi touched Chu Jinnian's head and said, "Are you happy now?"

Chu Jinnian nodded vigorously, "Happy! This is made for me by my father, mother and brother! It's my precious slingshot! I love it so much!"

After saying that, the silly smile on his little face became brighter.

Shen Zhi held his little hand and squeezed it, "Since our little crybaby is no longer sad, let's make another slingshot together with Daddy and Mommy."

"what?"

Chu Jinnian was a little confused.

Chu Jinzhou was also a little puzzled.

Chu Changfeng understood it all at once.

"Little silly, Daddy, Mommy and brother did it for you, so of course we have to do it for brother too. You are the little baby and brother is the big baby!" Shen Zhi's tone was extremely serious.

Chu Jinnian's puzzled face instantly broke into a sweet smile, "Yeah! I'll make it for my brother every year!"

Chu Jinzhou's heart was beating "boom boom boom" and his face was rosy and tender.

"But...but Zhou Zhou has a slingshot!"

He quickly showed the slingshot to everyone.

Compared with Chu Jinnian’s beautiful new slingshot, his old slingshot was a little inferior.

The little guy stroked the bow frame, pursed his lips, and whispered: "See...did you see it? My slingshot is still very useful, it's not broken at all."

Shen Zhi hugged his little shoulders and said, "That won't do! What the little baby has, the big baby must have too. We can't favor one over the other in our family."

Chu Changfeng: "Your mother is right."

The corners of Chu Jinzhou's mouth were raised high, and he couldn't suppress his excitement and happiness.

Next, Chu Jinzhou became the one who took a leisurely rest and drank water, while Chu Jinnian followed the two adults to play with slingshots.

"Daddy and Mommy, we want to make the most beautiful slingshot in the world for brother! It has to be even more beautiful than the one we made in the past!"

"Daddy! Tie the red string every year! Tie more! It looks better!"

The little guy who was crying not long ago is no longer sad at all. He is running around Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng, busy as a whirlwind.

"Oh my! It would be nice if there were some pretty little beads! I could hang them on my brother's slingshot!"

"Daddy, Mommy, and Brother, how is it? Am I doing a good job?"

"Beautiful! Our little darling's cooking skills are amazing! How come he is so amazing!"

"Hehehe...when I grow up, I will definitely make it better! And then I will help my brother make it!"

Chu Jinzhou was smiling foolishly on the side. He also wanted to help, but his father, mother and brother would not let him help at all.

Finally, the slingshot was completely completed.

"Okay! Brother's slingshot is the same as Nian Nian's! We are twin slingshots!" Chu Jinnian was so excited that his baby voice became a little hoarse.

The two slingshots are made of exactly the same materials and look similar, making it difficult to tell them apart.

After thinking about it, Chu Changfeng found Chu Jinnian's slingshot.

"Dad, what else do you need to do? Isn't it already done every year?"

Chu Changfeng didn't say anything. He found a small carving knife and started carving on the two small slingshots.

Chu Jinzhou and Chu Jinnian squatted in front of him, holding their little faces and watching intently.

Shen Zhi also tilted his head and stared curiously at what Chu Changfeng was carving.

He was carving words, his movements were slow but steady.

And the carved words are particularly beautiful.

Shen Zhi was a little surprised. In her memory, Chu Changfeng seemed to be unable to read and write...

"You...carved Zhou Zhou and Nian Nian's names on the slingshot?"

"Well, the two little guys' slingshots are very similar. We can tell them apart by engraving their names on them. And even if the slingshot is lost and someone else finds it, the names can prove it's theirs."

Chu Jinzhou and Chu Jinnian widened their eyes, wishing their eyeballs were glued to the slingshot.

"Daddy! Is this my name?"

Chu Jinnian asked excitedly after noticing a few more words on the slingshot.

Chu Changfeng smiled and handed him the slingshot, "Well, this is yours."

Chu Jinnian took it and couldn't help touching it several times.

These few words make the slingshot more exquisite and precious.

Chu Jinnian just glanced at his brother and then hugged him tightly in his arms.

After a while, Chu Jinzhou's name was also engraved. "Zhou Zhou, yours."

Chu Jinzhou swallowed and took it with both hands.

His attitude was serious, just like when the regiment commander gave him his first gun.

The little guy took it and stared at his name for a long time.

In the past, he did not have a formal name, only a nickname, "Zhou Zhou".

I heard from the team leader that the first person who picked him up was an old woman. When she picked him up, he was lying in a small wooden basin, floating in the river.

The small wooden basin looks like a small sailing boat, so the old woman calls it "Zhou Zhou".

Later, the old woman was killed by the enemy. He was only two and a half years old at that time. The regiment commander and his men took care of him and always called him Zhou Zhou.

But now, he not only has a name, but also a surname.

With a surname, he has a real home.

His nose felt sore and his eyes turned red. "Thank you, Daddy, Mom, and brother. I... I like my new slingshot very much."

When Chu Jinnian heard this, he also said quickly: "Niannian also wants to thank Daddy, Mommy and Brother! Niannian also likes the new slingshot very much!"

Shen Zhi and Chu Changfeng patted their heads and said, "As long as you like it."

The two children got a new slingshot, so Chu Jinnian asked his brother to continue teaching him.

The two brothers set up a simple target and began to practice.

Shen Zhi watched the two brothers play for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Changfeng, who was squinting his eyes and had a gentle expression beside him.

"Chu Changfeng, aren't you...unable to read?"

Chu Changfeng: "I can."

Shen Zhi: “Hmm?”

He thought for a moment and said, "I went to school for a few years when I was young, and I also studied in the military camp. I would study whenever I had time."

Maybe he is more talented, these slightly unfamiliar words are not difficult for him.

Because he could read and write, the general would later ask him to write urgent reports or various documents.

Gradually, his handwriting became more and more beautiful.

Shen Zhi stared at him for a long time.

Chu Changfeng felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, "Don't look at me, if you...if you want to learn to read, I can teach you."

Shen Zhi smiled slyly and approached him suddenly, "Then you teach me tonight!"

Chu Changfeng blinked his eyelashes a few times, "Learning... learning to read is... very important. You have to be serious about it."

Shen Zhi raised her chin, "Don't worry! I'm serious! I promise you'll be my husband's most proud student!"

Chu Changfeng coughed dryly, "Anyway...anyway, if you want to learn, you can't be lazy and can't give up easily."

"No~" Shen Zhi suddenly tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, blew into his ear, and said coquettishly in a soft voice: "Husband, don't you still believe me?"
