The little ones crawled into the bed giggling, looking at Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi with their big, bright eyes.

"Daddy and Mommy, come quickly!"

Even the youngest kid in their family was lying next to his brothers, blinking his big eyes and smiling.

The two smiled and lay down next to them.

Chu Changfeng covered them with blankets and said, "Sleeping on the floor is different from sleeping on the bed. Don't kick the blankets off. It's a bit cold at night. It would be bad if you catch a cold."

"Yeah! We got it!"

They had never slept together as a family before, and the little ones were extremely happy.

To them, it's like playing house!

"Daddy and Mom, let's sleep like this tomorrow! Okay?" Chu Jinnian asked.

"Go to sleep obediently. We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

"Okay..."

"Daddy...broken..."

Suddenly, the little dumpling also imitated his brother's speech.

Shen Zhi pinched her little face and said, "Go to sleep obediently and stop talking."

Little Dumpling closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep. Even when she closed her eyes, her eyelashes were blinking.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

Chu Jinnian turned his head to look at her, thought for a moment, and then stretched out his little hand to hug her, "Sister, brother will hold you to sleep, okay?"

They had never slept with the little dumpling before, so the thought of it was quite exciting.

Little Tuanzi didn’t like being held by others. She whined and struggled for a while, but found that her brother didn’t let her go at all. She muttered angrily: “Nian… Nian Nian… bad…”

"Not bad, and you should call me brother Nian Nian, not Nian Nian. Sister, why are you so naughty?"

"Hmph..." The little guy didn't call him.

Chu Jinzhou and Mumu covered their mouths and giggled.

"Are you guys still going to sleep? You're all being disobedient, aren't you?"

Shen Zhi started threatening again.

This time, no one dared to talk much. They just lay down obediently, closed their eyes and tried to fall asleep.

After all, the little ones had limited energy and fell asleep soon after.

Little Tuanzi was also lying in her brother Nian Nian's arms, sleeping like a little pig.

On the contrary, the two adults couldn't sleep.

This was their former home. Lying in this home, thinking about the past, they couldn't fall asleep.

"Changfeng, do you think we should move back? Do you want to come back?"

For Shen Zhi, this was just the place where he had lived for a year or two, and it couldn't be considered his real hometown.

But for the entire Chu family, it is the place where they have lived for decades.

No one does not miss his hometown, and no one is willing to leave his hometown forever.

Chu Changfeng sighed, "We don't have that much to do in Beiyang. Even if we want to come back, we can't. Let's talk about it later."

Shen Zhi knew that he said this because he wanted to come back.

The short one or two years may never come back, but that may not be the case in the future.

She hugged his arms and rested her head on his chest. "Wherever we are, that's home. This is our home, and Beiyang is also our home."

After all, hometown is where your relatives are.

Chu Changfeng chuckled and kissed her forehead, "I know. I'm a grown man, why would I care about this? But I'm afraid my parents want to come back."

"I will definitely be able to do that in the future."

The two of them chatted in whispers until midnight, and they didn't even know when they fell asleep.

When they woke up the next day, all the little ones were awake. They rolled around on the floor and were laughing foolishly all morning.

Huanhuan yawned and looked at her brothers with a sleepy face. She was woken up by them, so her little face was wrinkled and she looked very annoyed.

Chu Jinnian: "Sister, did you see it just now? Is my brother's body round?"

Mumu: "What about me? Sister, wasn't my brother's posture just now very handsome?"

The little girl turned her eyes away expressionlessly, then moved her little body into Shen Zhi's arms, sticking her little butt out towards them.

The two looked at each other.

Chu Jinzhou: "You two should stop playing. You are disturbing our parents."

"Okay, then we won't play anymore."

Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi had woken up, but they didn't open their eyes.

"You three... why did you get up so early?" Chu Changfeng's voice was a little hoarse.

Shen Zhi: "You're making noises so early in the morning. Is your butt itchy?"

"Daddy and Mommy, the sun is almost shining on our butts! It's getting late!"

"Dad and Mom, it seemed to rain last night! Should we go up the mountain to pick mushrooms today?"

Chu Jinnian knelt on the mat and said, "Brother checked this morning. It was wet outside, but the sun is out again today."

Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi opened their eyes. "No, we'll go to the village later and ask if there are any dried mushrooms. We'll buy some and store them."

"OK."

It was getting late, Shen Zhi sat up, "Hurry up and get up."

After tidying up the mat, Shen Zhi went outside to take a look. The ground was wet and the trees were also covered with water. He didn't know when it rained last night, but it must have been quite heavy.

They didn't even know it, they were sleeping so soundly.

After washing up, Shen Zhi found the stove and pot and simply cooked a pot of tomato and egg noodles for breakfast.

Everyone was slurping and eating with such relish.

They are going out today, maybe to several nearby villages, and they don’t know if they can make it back in time.

Before leaving, Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi took a five-pound piece of fresh beef and a bag of rice from the space and went to the village chief's house, asking them to help look after the house occasionally, not to let anyone destroy it or enter.

Their house was newly built, better than any other house in the village. Before coming, they were afraid that after the war, everything would be in chaos and someone would move into their house.

But they have not been here yet, and it is not ruled out that they will not be here in the future.

The village chief looked at the things they brought and refused them repeatedly, "This is too expensive! You can take it back. I will help you take care of the house. I am the village chief and I should take care of these things."

Chu Changfeng put the things down and said, "Please accept it. I bought it especially for you."

The village chief looked at the meat and rice in front of him and couldn't help swallowing.

Come to think of it, their family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he finally shamelessly accepted it.

"However, if this house is not occupied, it will be abandoned in no time." The village chief thought about it and couldn't help but mention it.

"What's the best thing to do?"

The village chief was also worried. After all, the house was really nice and he couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

"There are few people in our village now, and not many people are willing to rent a house..."

Chu Changfeng took a look at the village chief's house. It was much more dilapidated than before, and there were several damp spots on the ground. It was estimated that the house was leaking.

"Then you guys move in. We'll rent our house to you. You can help me take care of the house as rent. We won't be back for a few years."
