She is brighter than the stars

Cheng Nian put his eyes on Li Shubai unscrupulously, and said softly.

"I wonder if we will live like this after we are 60 years old."

Li Shubai smiled, did not answer, and directed: "Go break some eggs."

Cheng Nian walked over, gently hugged Li Shubai from behind, responded with a smile, took out the bowls and chopsticks and started to work.

The pigs in the village are all native pigs raised by the family. The meat is leaner and tastes better than the feed pigs in the city.

Li Shubai cut off a small piece and chopped it into pieces, steamed three bowls of egg custard with minced meat.

When eating, Yuan Chang ate very slowly.
Cheng Nian thought he didn't like it, so he asked concerned, "Do you want me to get you something else?"

Yuan Chang raised his head immediately, and said cautiously: "No, no need, it's delicious."

As he spoke, he dug two big spoonfuls and stuffed them into his mouth.

When Cheng Nian wasn't paying attention, he changed to eating in small bites.

When the meal was finished, he refused to put down the bowl, and kept holding it in his hand, pretending that there was still something in it.

Cheng Nian looked at him, "What's wrong, Yuan Chang."

Yuan Chang's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth hard, as if trying to hold back tears.

He glanced at Cheng Nian quickly, and whispered, "I want to stay with you for a while."

Cheng Nian took a deep breath, his eyebrows were slightly twisted into a knot, and he looked at Yuan Chang with distress.

She took Yuan Chang's small bowl, "Then you stay here, and go back when you want to, okay?"

Yuan Chang didn't want to go back.

Worried that Cheng Nian would find him annoying, Yuan Chang didn't say that, but nodded obediently.

Cheng Nian smiled and touched Yuan Chang's face, then took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Yuan Chang immediately stood up and said positively, "I'll do the washing."

Cheng Nian was stunned for a moment, "No need, just stay in the living room obediently and ask uncle to find you a cartoon to watch."

Yuan Chang stood in front of Cheng Nian, "It's okay, I do the dishes at home."

Cheng Nian wanted to say something else, but Li Shubai beside him said, "Give it to him."

As he spoke, he came over, handed the bowls and chopsticks in Cheng Nian's hands to Yuan Chang, and said, "Be careful, don't scratch your hands."

With a smile on Yuan Chang's face, he nodded and walked towards the kitchen with his rice bowl in hand.After a while, he came out again, moved a small bench, and stood in front of the sink to wash the dishes in a dignified manner.

Cheng Nian looked at Li Shubai with some puzzlement, and pouted, "Yuan Chang is so young, why let him do the dishes?"

Li Shubai walked up to Cheng Nian, "If you don't let him do something, he won't be able to stay here with peace of mind."

Cheng Nian pursed his lower lip, and sighed, "What is Yuan Chang's life called a day? It's too pitiful. It's like being abused."

Li Shubai smiled inaudibly, and asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do?"

Cheng Nian wrapped his hands around Li Shubai's waist, raised his head and stared at him with wide eyes, "What do you think?"

Li Shubai saw through Cheng Nian's careful thinking all at once, and deliberately said blankly, "I don't know."

Cheng Nian's cheeks swelled slightly, like a little bun.

She blinked her big smart eyes, and tentatively said: "Maybe, we can, we can let him stay here for a while."

"Wait till we go?"

Cheng Nian giggled and flattered him, "What do you think?"

Li Shubai looked at Cheng Nian seriously, and asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Shubai seemed to disagree, Cheng Nian said in a low voice, "It's fine if you don't want to, I'm just saying it casually."

Li Shubai said earnestly: "It's not that I don't want to, but establishing a bond is a dangerous thing."

"I know." Cheng Nian sighed, leaned his head on Li Shubai's chest, and said with some discomfort, "I just think he's too sensible, he doesn't look like a child at all, it's very distressing."

In fact, Cheng Nian understood to some extent that the reason why she felt that the short-term happiness was a good thing was because the happiness was still by her side.

Typical standing and talking without back pain.

If Li Shubai hadn't stretched out his hand to her, she might have suffered a lot and wanted to leave this not-so-beautiful world.

Li Shubai said meaningfully: "It may not be a good thing to suffer a little when you are young."

Cheng Nian's eyes were sore, he thought for a while and said, "Then let's take Yuan Chang to the town to buy him clothes."

Li Shubai rubbed Cheng Nian's hair, "Okay."

Yuan Chang ran into the living room excitedly after washing the dishes, "I've done everything."

Seeing that Li Shubai and Cheng Nian were all dressed up, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you going out?"

Cheng Nian praised Yuan Chang, knelt down and patted him on the shoulder, "We want to go around the town, can you lead the way?"

As soon as Yuan Chang heard that Cheng Nian needed his help, he immediately became happy, nodded happily, and within two seconds he was a little worried: "I've only been there once, I'm afraid I won't remember the way."

Cheng Nian took his little hand, "It's okay, as long as you know the general direction."

Sitting in the car, Yuan Chang was very quiet in the back seat, so quiet that he seemed to be alone, and only occasionally said a word when he reached a fork.

Li Shubai naturally didn't need Yuan Chang to guide the way, but he would always ask for his opinion symbolically, and finally listened to the navigation.

Yuan Chang didn't understand, but this feeling of being needed made him very satisfied.

Soon arrived at the town, seeing that the front was very lively, and there was no way to go on the road, so Li Shubai found a random roadside and stopped the car.

The town is not big, there are only two streets in total.

It happened to be the market day, and one of the streets was full of various stalls. People from eight villages from ten miles away came to the market, and there were so many people.

Li Shubai held Yuan Chang in one hand and Cheng Nian in the other as he walked among the crowd.

To be on the safe side, they both wore masks.

Yuan Chang put his arms around Li Shubai's neck obediently, as if this would make him lighter.

Passing by a stall selling children's clothes, Cheng Nian picked up a small shoe and compared it to Yuan Chang's feet.

Yuan Chang immediately withdrew his foot and said in panic, "Auntie, I don't want it."

Cheng Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and coaxed, "It's just a try."

Yuan Chang glanced at her suspiciously, then at Li Shubai, and then stretched out his foot again.

It was a bit small after trying it on, and Cheng Nian asked the shopkeeper to take out one size up, and put it on Yuan Chang's feet, and said with a smile.

"It's your reward for leading us."

Yuan Chang glanced at Cheng Nian gratefully, and said thank you in a low voice.

Afterwards, Cheng Nian bought Yuan Chang another set of clothes, saying that Aunt Deng asked them to buy them, and Yuan Chang didn't shirk any further.

Near noon, the three of them ate the town's special snack at the market, a kind of pasty food made from cornmeal, which was quite delicious.

Yuan Chang got new clothes and was careful in everything he did. He stuck his head out when eating, for fear of getting his clothes dirty.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Nian felt distressed and uncomfortable.

After eating, they walked around for more than half an hour as if digesting food, and bought some seasonal vegetables and daily necessities that were missing at home.

Worried that Yuan Chang's things would be taken away, Cheng Nian didn't buy him anything else.

Back in the village, Yuan Chang jumped up like a little sparrow and got down from the car to help get things.

Cheng Nian glanced at Li Shubai, squeezed his little hands, and gritted his teeth cruelly.

"Yuan Chang, my aunt will be worried if you run away for too long, let uncle take you back."
