Huo Lin's movement caused the father and son in front to turn around at the same time. Zhan Xi no longer cared about the little widow's baby. He turned around and wanted to pull the little prince up first.
"Are you distracted while walking?"
Zhan Xi put the little widow's baby down and reached out to pull the little prince.
The ridge of the field was not high, so the little prince did not fall, but his trouser legs were dirty.
Zhan Xi looked at his son's muddy shoes, then at the little prince's dirty pants, and he sighed sincerely: "Let's go to the car and change."
Huo Lin's cheeks turned slightly red, and he obviously felt a little embarrassed about his carelessness.
He didn't know what happened just now. When he heard the little boy say that he was a young widow, his first feeling was not to find it funny, but to feel a sudden pain in his heart.
"Uncle Zhan, I didn't bring a change of pants."
Huo Lin followed behind Zhan Xi and whispered in an embarrassed tone, "Forget it, my pants aren't very dirty, I don't need to change them."
Zhan Xi smiled: "I brought it to you."
How could Mr. Zhan, who has many years of experience in taking care of children, not come out to play without making adequate preparations? Not only did he bring all the necessities for his own children, he also brought some for the little prince.
The little prince would occasionally stay overnight at their house, so naturally he left a few sets of clothes at home.
soon.
The kid who was stepping on mud and the little prince who had soiled his pants went to the truck bed to change clothes.
Zhan Xi bent down, took off the little boy's shoes, and then took off his socks: "Ningzi, don't step on the mud or water later, otherwise if you get your socks wet, Daddy won't change them for you."
The little kid swung his white and tender feet, confidently saying, "Kid, you can go barefoot."
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi patted his fat instep: "Don't be naughty."
While the little guy was changing his socks and shoes, the little prince was also changing his pants.
Just as they were all doing their own things, the little boy who was interrupted in the middle of the conversation just now asked Zhan Xi again with great perseverance: "Dad, is the little boy a widow?"
"no."
Huo Lin's voice sounded before Zhan Xi's. The little prince, who had changed his pants, pursed his lips and looked straight at the little boy: "You are not a little widow."
The little cub tilted his head, with a confused look on his pretty, soft face.
Huo Lin spoke again, and this time he explained seriously: "A widow is someone whose partner has died. Zizi, you haven't found a partner yet."
Such a serious explanation made the little guy nod his head, not quite understanding.
He searched his mind carefully, and then suddenly realized: "Zizi is not a young widow, Zizi is a lonely widow."
When Wagner and he went to StarNet together, they watched a lot of videos! There were many popular words in the videos, and some words that were once popular on ancient Earth.
Loneliness was a popular word in ancient Earth!
Zhan Xi's mouth twitched, and he put the kid who had put on his shoes again on the ground: "What do you mean by lonely or not? It's just a random word I learned from Wagner."
"Okay, let's go to the back of the village."
The thing that the village has the most is land. There are plots of land next to each other, and in the areas not used for farming there are all kinds of weeds, wild flowers and other wild grasses.
Zhan Xi took a few bags and a shovel, and he planned to dig some wild vegetables to bring back.
The little guy's current dietary preferences are all kinds of meat, and when it comes to snacks, he either eats extremely sweet snacks or meaty snacks.
Zhan Xi wanted him to eat more food.
The air outside is very fresh. It rained a few days ago, so the soil is loose and the scent of grass and trees is pleasant.
Huo Lin and Zhan Xi were walking side by side. The little kid in front was walking with his short legs, catching grasshoppers seriously.
"Do you want to catch it with Ningzi?"
Zhan Xi looked at the little prince beside him. He always felt that the little prince was too strict with himself. If he continued to be so strict, he would probably get suffocated.
"No need, just let Ningzi catch it himself."
Huo Lin was not very interested in the game of catching grasshoppers. He found it very interesting to see the little cubs jumping around and catching grasshoppers.
"Dad, brother, look!"
After nestling in the grass for quite a while, with a blade of grass on its head, the little cub actually caught a big grasshopper: "It's green!"
The big grasshopper was as big as half the palm of the little one. He held the grasshopper in his hand and ran over excitedly to show his father and brother.
Zhan Xi looked at the grasshopper and suddenly asked, "Ningzi, do you want to eat grasshoppers?"
Little cub: “!”
The little cub asked an unworldly question: "Can grasshoppers be eaten?"
Zhan Xi took the grasshopper from his hand, dug a hole on the ridge of the field, and started to make a fire. Before making the fire, he took out a few sweet potatoes and a handful of peanuts from his pocket: "Go catch a few more grasshoppers, so you can eat more."
The cub nodded and ran to the grass to continue catching grasshoppers.
Zhan Xi buried the sweet potatoes in the pit, put the peanuts aside, and finally skewered the grasshoppers, put them on the fire and started roasting: "Rin, do you want to try this? It tastes delicious. I used to eat this when I was a kid."
Huo Lin was a little hesitant.
But under Zhan Xi's gaze, he still nodded: "Okay, I'll try."
The little cub is very agile on the grass. He can catch a grasshopper with just one pounce of his chubby hands. Catching grasshoppers is a fun game for him!
Before long, the little cub caught seven or eight grasshoppers.
Zhan Xi skewered all the grasshoppers and roasted them. He processed them a little before eating them, and they were fragrant, charred and crispy.
The three of them had just arrived and had already started eating.
Huo Lin was not hungry, but when he saw the little kid eating the roasted sweet potato with relish, his appetite improved a little.
Although the little cub has his preferences for food, he can finish any food he wants.
"Dad, sweet potatoes are great!"
"Even if it tastes good, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, your stomach will fill up and you won't be able to eat properly at noon."
Huo Lin, who was also holding a sweet potato, heard the conversation between the father and son and said in astonishment: "Uncle Zhan, this...isn't it lunch?"
Zhan Xi: “?”
There was a question mark on Zhan Xi’s head.
The kid sitting on the haystack was also confused. He looked at his brother, then lowered his head to look at the sweet potato, and said in a soft voice: "Brother, sweet potato is not rice."
Zhan Xi further added: "Sweet potatoes are just snacks, not lunch."
The astonishment on Huo Lin's face turned into silence.
Uncle Zhan always tells the kid not to eat too much, but has he ever realized that this “not much” is actually quite problematic
Zhan Xi explained the benefits of sweet potatoes. Although sweet potatoes have benefits, he is a strict father. He strictly requires his children to eat only two small sweet potatoes.
Huo Lin, who was already feeling full after eating just one meal, tactfully didn't say anything when he saw this scene.
It took two hours to reach the destination, and one hour to eat.
After eating, the little cub continued to have fun.
He opened a video call with Wagner, and the two cubs talked about the interesting things around them through the screen. At the end, the cubs even agreed to catch grasshoppers together next time.
The little ones were having fun while their old father was responsible for accompanying them.
Huo Lin looked at the village not far away and said to Zhan Xi, "Uncle Zhan, are there a lot of people in this village? Do they all make a living by growing things?"
"Yes, there are many people in this village, and the young people all stay at home. They all rely on growing crops - oh, that's not right."
Zhan Xi frowned slightly: "Growing crops can't support so many idle people at home."
He looked at Huo Lin and had a bad guess in his mind: "Linzi, when we get back, ask someone to come and take a look at this village."
Zhan Xi had done everything to survive in the past, including growing crops.
He knew very well the profits from growing crops.
Huo Lin uttered an “hmm”, but he did not wait until he went back to check. Instead, he asked his guards to go in and take a look now.
His guards had been following him since he left the house, but in order not to disturb their play, the guards did not get too close.
Time passes by little by little.
The little guy was still running around in the fields. He was like a small generator filled with oil, making a humming sound while running around to generate electricity.
He was playing here, and in a street of White Mist Star, two dirty young animals were living in dire straits. The bag that the little dwarf mouse was carrying was tattered, and even though he looked so miserable, his aura was still as strong as ever.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
I didn't lie to you. Give me two apples. When I find a home one day, I will give you ten back!
The little dwarf mouse was shielding the baby Tumbler behind him whose color couldn't be seen. He lobbied the stray beasts he met, "Squeak!"
My new boss is a little fat boy, and he is so generous!
He showed off the fat cub he hadn't found yet, trying to trick them into giving him two apples.
But unfortunately, he didn't trick himself into being beaten, but got beaten up instead.
The stray animals outside were all very bad-tempered and would start a fight if they disagreed with something. The little dwarf mouse tried to resist, but was beaten even worse.
The little rolling beast cub that followed the little dwarf mouse out huddled in the corner, eyes filled with tears: "Chi!"
Didn’t we agree to come out and live a good life
He was beaten five times and went hungry for more than ten meals in the week he was out!
The little mouse touched the head of the rolling beast guiltily and coaxed him, "Don't be discouraged. Although you lost your food, you gained your freedom!"
Rolling Beast: “…”
The rolling beast turned around angrily and became a fat ball.
The two little animals didn't have time to rest before they ran into trouble again.
The little dwarf beast was really at a loss this time. He racked his brains and finally announced the little fat boy's name: "I am Ningzi's dwarf kangaroo! Ningzi will return the fruit you gave me last time!"
When the name Ningzai was mentioned, it really had an effect.
The little cub, who usually goes outside to pick up waste without his father's knowledge, has a good relationship with stray animals. He will give them anything edible he finds.
After the dwarf mouse found that calling out his name was useful, he would call out Ningzi's name whenever he encountered trouble. His memory was not very good, and he forgot the address Ningzi gave him. He only knew that Ningzi lived on White Mist Star.
I used Ningzai's name for many days.
On the day when Ningzai and his father went out for an outing, the two little animals were dragged by other stray animals and brought to Ningzai's door.
These beasts came to collect debts from Ningzai.
Ning Zai, who was still completely unaware of what was happening at the door, was now sitting on the grass, answering a video call. Ludwig and Ivy were on the other side of the video, talking to him.
"Baby, you're not afraid of bugs."
The little boy proudly said that he had caught all kinds of bugs in the morning. As he was talking, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, I remember now!"
"Baby, you still need to catch caterpillars. Catch some caterpillars and take them back!"
When Ludwig heard the word "caterpillar", he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why catch caterpillars?"
The little cub replied happily in a baby voice, "Show it to the kids in the Green Grass class. We are going to raise caterpillars together."
Ludwig: “…”
Ludwig didn't quite understand this unique hobby of raising caterpillars.
He looked at the fat kid who seemed to want to catch the caterpillar, so he didn't waste any more time: "Go ahead, let me see it when you catch it."
"Okay!"
The little guy hung up the video, asked his father for a paper box, and started catching caterpillars.
Zhan Xi sat on the grass, watching the kid catching caterpillars, but ignored him. He also liked catching insects when he was a kid, and it's a good thing for boys to be brave.
Huo Lin followed the little cub and helped him catch them.
"Brother! We found the cub!"
The baby was standing under a small tree, looking at the bugs lying on the leaves. He said in a baby voice with great joy: "This bug is so beautiful!"
The bug on the leaf has a layer of hair on its body that looks like dandelion fluff, and the color is particularly bright and beautiful!
There are hairs on the leaves, and they are soft.
The little cub was confident that this must be a caterpillar!
Huo Lin had never been to the countryside, so he had no idea what kind of insect he wanted to catch. But he stood a few steps away and took a quick look, and he felt that it didn't look like a caterpillar.
"Ningzi, don't catch it yet. It looks a bit like—"
Before Huo Lin could finish his words, the little guy, holding the box in one hand, had already reached out for the "caterpillar" with the other.
In a flash, Huo Lin's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Next second.
The little cub who was holding the "caterpillar" shook the worm off, raised his chubby face, and cried loudly.
Zhan Xi, who was still sitting on the grass, heard the crying, his face changed slightly, and he stood up and strode over.
He walked past Huo Lin and pulled the baby, whose face was red from crying, into his arms. When he lowered his head, he saw the "caterpillar" that the baby had thrown away.
grass.
This is not a caterpillar.
This is the raw chili pepper that both adults and children in the village are afraid to touch.
As the name suggests, hairy spicy food will make your hands red and hot if you touch it.
