Those who have no ambitions are happy, and those who have a heart wish for the whole family to be together.

Several people walked together, and Zhou Yeqing gradually became familiar with the man.

The man was carrying a load on one shoulder, his steps were calm, and his breathing was orderly. It was obvious that he was a good worker. Zhou Yeqing curiously stared at the two children on the load, looking at the scratching on their heads. The man was walking on the roadside just now.

I also pinched a few small daisies and wrapped them around it. I guess it must be a girl.

"Na...ah..." The doll nearby also noticed that someone was looking at him. He was mumbling, unable to speak, and stared with his small eyes.

His chubby little hands held half a dry biscuit and shook it, as if he was a little angry.

Zhou Yeqing thought it was a bit funny, so he deliberately made a face at her, trying to tease her. The girl was so annoyed by the grimace that she screamed, showing two small white teeth. She started to twist in the burden, look at her posture.

It seemed like he was about to stand up and beat someone up.

The man felt that the load was unsteady and his shoulders began to slip a little. He looked down at the doll and said with a satisfied and happy smile: "Don't move, baby. Dad will take you to find your mother."

The doll didn't know if she understood the man's words. Anyway, under Zhou Yeqing's surprised gaze, she glanced sideways at him as if she was complaining, and then she obediently lay back in the basket.

Zhou Yeqing smiled and looked curiously at the other side of the load. The doll was much quieter, lying in the basket with round eyes looking at the sky, a grinning mouth, and cute drool.

"Little brother, why did you go to Wanjincheng?" The man noticed Zhou Yeqing's teasing of the child and asked kindly and with a smile.

"Oh, I'm going to Baihua Building."

"What? You want to go to Baihua Building too? My mother-in-law is there too."

When Zhou Yeqing heard what the man said, he became interested and stopped teasing the baby. He quickly asked the man: "Uncle, where is Baihua Building?"

"Ah? Well, I really don't know about this." The man seemed a little hesitant, but then he continued: "At that time, people from the city said they wanted to find a few family members, and they gave them a lot of money.

There was not much money to be made from the harvest all year round, so the mother wanted to save some things for her newborn child so that she could have a good future, so she followed those people."

"The people from behind came to recruit again. I went up and asked, and they said that they were in Baihua Building. The contract was signed for three years, and they can't come back until three years later."

"It's been three years since then. I just went to pick her up."

The man's face was full of joy when he spoke. He was going to pick up his wife. The family would be reunited and they could live a happy and contented life in the future. This was the biggest wish of a farmer man in his life.

"Little brother, you are also looking for someone, right?"

Seeing the man's happy face, Zhou Yeqing didn't want to ruin his mood, so he panicked and said, "Yes, my sister is there too."

When the man heard Zhou Yeqing's words, the smile on his face became even thicker, and his eyes looking at the road ahead became fiery. He was full of energy, as if it would never be used up, and he strode forward with long strides.

After a busy day, the two babies were tired, so they lay down in the basket and fell asleep. Occasionally they would cry once or twice and then fall asleep again.

Zhou Yeqing stared blankly at the slanting sun, feeling very depressed. "Is it so far away?"

When Zhou Yeqing heard the man say that he went to Wanjincheng overnight, he thought it wasn't that far away, but now it seems that he couldn't reach it within two or three days.

The man seemed to have known about it for a long time. At this moment, he calmly picked up firewood. Zhou Yeqing sighed in his heart and had no choice but to come over and help.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you? You can't stand it any longer. It's okay. It's okay. I'll probably be there in the second half of tomorrow." The man noticed Zhou Yeqing's impatience and explained with a smile.

Looking at the darkening sky, Zhou Yeqing had no choice but to accept it. "Uncle, please collect firewood. I'll go see if there are any wild animals nearby." After that, he walked outside.

The man agreed with an easy-going smile, looking full and satisfied.

At night, several people sat around the fire. Zhou Yeqing was roasting pheasants. The two dolls were holding some long pheasant tail feathers. They were very happy and laughed. The man was not idle yet. He would bring a piece back from outside from time to time.

A stone wall was built around the two dolls.

Zhou Yeqing didn't understand the man's intention of doing this and was a little confused.

After a while, he felt that it was almost done. The man then returned to sit down by the fire, rummaged in the basket, took out a baggage, and took out some dry biscuits and distributed them to his two young daughters. This is what they did.

It’s solid food for father and daughter.

Zhou Yeqing's throat couldn't help but feel blocked when he saw the dry biscuit. During the day, the man gave it to him. He really couldn't swallow it. He sucked up the water in one mouthful. He barely swallowed it and it stuck to his throat, causing a blockage.

Zhou Ye's face was green and his ears were red.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yeqing quickly handed over the pheasant. "Uncle, let's eat together. How can we keep eating this?"

The man hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but when he saw his two young daughters, he couldn't bear it.

"Thank you then, little brother."

Zhou Yeqing teased the doll with a smile and shook his head. "Uncle, what did you say? It's me who should thank you."

The man had a silly smile on his face and grabbed the baggage in front of him. He was not used to such a pretentious situation.

Seeing that the roast was almost done, Zhou Yeqing quickly divided the pheasant into two parts, but the half he gave out was actually larger. The man also noticed it and felt a little embarrassed.

"I have a small belly and can't eat much." Zhou Yeqing smiled to ease the man's embarrassment, indicating that he didn't need to take it to heart.

The two babies were screaming, and the man was smiling, full of doting, and slowly tore off some shreds of meat and fed them to them. Zhou Yeqing sat on the firewood and looked at the father and daughter in front of him, feeling sincerely envious.

Every time like this, Zhou Yeqing always misses Huang Qing'er and his mother.

"Mom, where are you? Qing'er misses you so much."

The bright moon hung high, and the fire was still burning, but the flames were weaker and the ashes dimmed. The man and his daughter were sleeping.

After Zhou Yeqing finished eating the pheasant, he meditated in a distance and practiced Qigong. His mind was calm and relaxed for seven days. When he opened his eyes again, it was already late at night.

Putting on his clothes and walking towards the fire, Zhou Yeqing added some firewood and stoked the fire to make it burn brighter. After finishing it, nothing happened. Before he knew it, he caught a glimpse of his father and daughter who had fallen asleep.

The man built a stone wall, put the two children inside, and slept on the outside to block his mouth. He probably thought it would be safe this way.

Zhou Yeqing had been wondering before, why were there so many stones? How did he know that these were not stones at all, but a walled fortress built by a father for his little princess.

"Is this a child with a father?"

Zhou Yeqing looked at the father and daughter in front of him, feeling lost and in a trance.
