After seeing Li Hua off, the couple closed the courtyard door and stood quietly not far away watching Shi Ke play games with his son. The thin girl, now transforming into a big tiger, tiptoed towards the place where Zhao Chen was hiding.

The child was naive and thought that if he could not see others, then others could not see him. Zhao Chen was hiding his head behind the big broom sweeping the yard, with his little butt exposed and motionless, when he saw Shi Ke yelling "Yeah"

, shouted happily: "I caught you!"

The two children were smiling brightly. The more Zhao Liangsheng and his wife looked at each other, the more sad they became. How could such a cute little girl have such a tragic fate?

Yan Siqin felt even more distressed. She walked up to Shi Ke and hugged Shi Ke's little body: "Poor girl."

Zhao Chen saw his mother hugging Shi Ke, who was a little protective. He put his little arms around his mother's neck and asked for a hug.

Yan Siqin pushed hard and stood up with a child in his arms: "Stop playing, hurry up and eat. Da Zhuang, come out quickly, it's time to eat."

When Zhao Yu heard her mother calling her, she got out of her hiding place and was about to run into the house to eat. Yan Siqin stopped her by saying, "Go to the well and wash your hands. Let's play with whether your hands are dirty or not."

I chose to build a pressurized water well at that time mainly because I had children at home. If it were a wide-mouthed deep well, it would be very dangerous for the children to fall in accidentally.

There is an iron bucket next to the well, and the water in the bucket is always full. Zhao Liangsheng has already scooped the water into the wash basin, stepped forward to take Zhao Chen from Yan Siqin's arms, and put it next to the basin. Yan Siqin also put down Shi Ke, and the three

The children gathered around the wash basin and washed their little hands clean. Yan Siqin pulled a towel from the clothesline and wiped three pairs of little hands before holding Shi Ke in one hand and Zhao Chen in the other and sitting down at the dining table.

Placing the bowl in front of Shi Ke, Zhao Liangsheng handed another steamed bun to Shi Ke, who took it politely: "Thank you, mother, thank you, uncle."

Zhao Chen was unwilling again: "It's not uncle, it's dad."

Why don't you call me uncle instead of father? Shi Ke looked at Zhao Liangsheng, who was looking at her expectantly. No one objected? Then he should call him father: "Thank you, father."

"Hey---!" Zhao Liangsheng smiled broadly: "Be good, eat it quickly."

Zhao Yu had been feasting for a long time, and now his mouth was full of food: "Sister, how old are you?"

"I'm almost 5 years old, and my mother said it will be my birthday not long after the Dragon Boat Festival."

"You're not even 5 years old yet, so you have to call me big brother. I'm over 7 years old." After saying that, he still acted like a big brother and gave Shi Ke a pair of chopsticks to pick up an egg.

"You have to call me second brother." Zhao Chen also imitated his elder brother's example and picked up a piece of egg for Shi Ke. Zhao Chen's hands were small and his chopsticks were awkward, so the egg managed to hang halfway without falling.

"Why do I call you second brother? How old are you?" Shi Ke looked at Zhao Chen as a child, and he didn't look like an older brother at all.

"I'm almost four years old." Zhao Chen raised his left hand and made a sign of "4".

You are younger than me and you want me to call you brother? Shi Ke was unwilling: "I won't call you second brother. I am almost 5 years old and you are less than 4 years old. I am more than a year older than you. You are the younger brother. You

You should call me sister."

Zhao Chen was unconvinced: "Our family is not calculated based on the size, but based on the time of arrival. You see, the eldest brother came first, then me, and you came last, so you should call me second brother."

Well, there are still such rules in this family! Shi Ke thought for a moment and said: "Then I can't call you second brother. You are younger than me, otherwise I will call you little brother."

Little brother is also a brother, so you can call him little brother. Zhao Chen was satisfied and put another piece of egg into Shi Ke's bowl: "Sister, you eat."

Zhao Liangsheng and Yan Siqin watched the children's childlike interactions without correcting them, with loving smiles on their faces.

After dinner, Yan Siqin boiled a large pot of water and gave everyone a bath, mainly for Shi Ke. The smell on the little girl's body was not very pleasant. When he first came home to hold her, he thought she was Comrade Li's daughter.

I'm sorry to say that, but I was still murmuring in my heart: Comrade Li cleaned up so cleanly by himself, why did he not know how to change the children's clothes when they were so dirty?

The big wooden basin was made from the leftover materials from the furniture when they got married. The basin was very big, which made Shi Ke, who was sitting in the basin, even more slim and slim. Yan Siqin thought while washing Shi Ke's little arms and legs.

: The child looks like this. How much hardship must he have suffered along the way to become so thin? She never thought that although Shi Ke was thin, his bones were full of meat.

At this time, Yan Siqin was so full of motherly love that she didn't know how to express her loving motherly heart. As she gently helped Shi Ke scrub her back, she was thinking about what delicious food to make tomorrow. She wanted to feed her little girl in vain.

Chubby.

Zhao Chen insisted on joining in the fun, stripped himself naked in two or two times, and jumped into the basin with a yellow rubber duck in his arms.

Shi Ke accidentally splashed water all over his body and face. Shi Ke closed his eyes subconsciously and wiped the water off his face with his small hands. When he opened his eyes, Zhao Chen had already sat down and she frowned.

With a small face, she turned her head towards Yan Siqin, with accusation clearly written in her eyes: Mom, look at me, little brother.

Yan Siqin understood, and tapped Zhao Chen's head with his index finger: "Why are you here to join in the fun? Why don't you go find your father."

Zhao Chen favorably handed the yellow-skinned duck to Shi Ke: "Sister, let's play with you." He said and pinched it a few times, and the little whistle on the duck made a chirping sound, which made Shi Ke curious.

They took it and squeezed it for a while. When their curiosity was satisfied, the two children started to let the duck float on the water. You pushed it to me and I pushed it to you and started playing.

The temperature of the water gradually dissipated. Yan Siqin was afraid that the two children would catch cold, so he took out the washed Shi Ke and Zhao Chen and put them on the bed. He found Zhao Chen's small clothes and put them on Shi Ke. Even though Shi Ke was one year older than Zhao Chen

There are many, but because of his thin stature, Zhao Chen's clothes fit him perfectly.

After washing, the family sat in the yard chatting, looking at the moon. Yan Siqin washed the clothes and discussed with Zhao Liangsheng: "Dad Zhuang, you can take the time to pull back a few feet of cloth tomorrow, and I will make a change of clothes for my daughter."

"

Yan Siqin has always wanted to have a daughter. She even thought about what kind of hair style to wear and how to dress up. Today, she finally got her wish. She was eager to put those ideas into practice.

Zhao Chen was very honest and stayed in Zhao Liangsheng's arms. He felt that there was still a big thing to do, that is, the new sister had not yet given a name, so he discussed it with his father: "Dad, let's give my sister a name."

Name it."

Shi Kezheng was sitting obediently on the bench holding a yellow-skinned duck and watching Yan Siqin wash clothes. When he heard that he was going to give her a name, he raised his head in confusion: I have a name.

Zhao Yu stopped playing with crickets and sat on the small bench next to his father to give advice: "Dad, call Huahua."

Zhao Chen directly objected: "The second eldest daughter's dog is named Huahua, and my sister cannot have a dog name." Then he looked at Zhao Liangsheng: "Dad, do you think I should name my sister Zhao Dan?"

"Phew!" Yan Siqin was talking to Zhao Liangsheng. Hearing his son call him such a name, he almost choked himself with saliva.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Liangsheng and his wife were overjoyed. Zhao Yu also laughed so much that he fell down, pointing at Shi Ke and shouting: "Hahaha, Zhao Dan, hahaha..., it's better to beg Huahua."

When Shi Ke heard that he named himself Zhao Dan, he exploded and jumped in protest: "I'm not called Zhao Dan! My name is Shi Ke, so cute!"

Shi Ke's little face turned red with anger. She did like eating eggs, but liking eggs was one thing. It was absolutely unacceptable to be named Dan. It was so unpleasant. She ran to Yan Siqin's side and cuddled up to her mother.

On the legs, the circles under his aggrieved eyes were red, and the tears rolled in his eyes again and again. Finally, he couldn't hold it back, and they fell down loudly: "Mom, I don't want to be called Zhao Dan."

The names of the family members all have meanings, and Zhao Chenjue has the obligation to explain the origin of the name clearly: "Dad said that my eldest brother picked it up on a rainy day, so I called it Zhao Yu. My dad picked it up on the way to the fields early in the morning.

So I call you Zhao Chen. My father and I bought you from selling eggs, so logically you should be named Zhao Dan."

Shi Ke felt even more aggrieved, twisting his little body back and forth: "Mom, my name is Ke Ke, not Zhao Dan."

Yan Siqin's hands were covered with soap bubbles. She washed them in the basin, then held Shi Ke on her lap and coaxed her: "Good boy, let's not cry. We won't call him Zhao Dan, we'll call him Ke Ke."

Seeing that his mother rejected his proposal, Zhao Chen was puzzled and asked Zhao Liangsheng: "Dad, are the eggs bad? We obviously picked them up after selling them."

The little face of Zhao Liangsheng's own son: "Son, you can't name your little girl the same as a little boy. It must sound nice. Otherwise, when people go out and call her "Zhao Dan", it will be so unpleasant. Look at the sister of **'s house in our front yard.

My name is Huihui, and your second eldest sister’s name is Meizi, right? Even though we picked up my sister from selling eggs, we can’t just call her Zhao Dan, don’t you think?”

"Okay then, let's call my sister Coco." Zhao Chen compromised: "But it has to be called Zhao Ke, not Shi Ke. Our family members all have the surname Zhao, and my sister must also have the surname Zhao."

It was getting late, the stars were blinking tiredly, and the three little ones were also sleepy. After the three children fell asleep in bed, Yan Siqin went to wash the clothes and hang them to dry.

"Morning mother, there won't be any rain tonight. Don't let it rain at night, and your clothes will be washed in vain." Zhao Liangsheng looked up at the sky. In the dark night sky, half of the moon was slowly moving westward with stars all over the sky.

.

"Don't worry, it won't rain this day. Dad, do you think Keke can still find a home?" Yan Siqin smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, sat down next to Zhao Liangsheng, and leaned in Zhao Liangsheng's arms.

Zhao Liangsheng lowered his head and kissed the top of Yan Siqin's hair: "It's difficult. I think it's difficult. Comrade Li also said that China is too big. Finding a home for Coco is like finding a needle in a haystack. I don't think this needle is that easy to find."

"

"Yes, the child is really pitiful. He left his parents at such a young age." Yan Siqin sighed: "Fortunately, we still have us. We all say that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. This is not true at all. I only heard about human traffickers before.

I have never seen what a human trafficker looks like. Besides, the word "bad guy" cannot be written on his face. Let's take a closer look in the future and keep a good eye on our three children. We can't make any mistakes again. Alas, one day
