Chapter 201 Everyone is careless sometimes
At the end of March, Qiu Qiu and his people were already busy with the spring plowing plan.
Last year they came to this place. After burning bricks, they quickly and slowly built five three-story buildings. The foundations were all raised with gravel and concrete, a full 3 meters above the ground, and stairs were built.
The whole first floor was made into a collective kang room, and they spent the whole winter in it. Although it was a little crowded, no one suffered anything.
However, those animals that were raised suffered many casualties. The heavy snow collapsed the breeding farm. Although they kept the animals in yurts, some of them still froze to death.
But no matter what, everyone finally got through it. As long as they improve all the infrastructure this year, I believe that this kind of thing will not happen again by the next cold winter.
However, good things still happened in this cold winter. Not only did many people in the base find companions and formed pairs, but several children were also born.
This was a great joy for the base. Qiu Qiu didn't say anything at the time, but after spring started, he immediately collected a bunch of things and sent them over, saying that they were for the children to eat and as a reward for the mother.
In his heart, he hoped that the women in the base would have more children, but it had to be voluntary and could not be forced. He could only improve welfare and attract people to raise children.
There is no way. The current population is too small. If no more children are born, the aging of the population will become more and more serious. Think about it, he is 29 years old now. 11 years have passed by in the blink of an eye, but it has been six or seven years since he established the Qiuhan Base. But there are not even 400 children born at the base in these years.
Xiao Han knew his anxiety, so he held him in his arms and patiently comforted him, "Although there are few children born at the base, it is because of constant disasters in the past. People were afraid that they would not be able to feed them, so they took the initiative to use contraception.
However, we don’t have many children here, and this is not the case elsewhere. Maybe there are many children born in every corner that we haven’t seen?
Moreover, there have been basically no disasters in recent years. I believe that in a year or two, when everyone feels that the situation is stable, they will take the initiative to have children. "
"you are right!"
Qiu Qiu nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, you have always been by my side. Otherwise, when something happened these years, I wouldn't know who to turn to for help, and I would have been worried to death!"
Xiao Han looked down at him, his eyes full of seriousness, "This is my honor!"
There was a little more smile in Qiu Qiu's eyes, and she couldn't help but leaned forward gently, touching his forehead. The two of them were so sticky for a while, until Han Jie knocked on the door, they reluctantly separated, and then held hands. , went out together.
Seeing the two of them, Han Jie smiled and teased, "Tang Yuan'er is busy down there with no hope, but you two are still here talking about love!?"
Xiao Han smiled and scolded him, "I want you to take care of me! Talk to me, mother-in-law! If you are jealous, go to Xiao Gao!"
Han Jie looked at him with resentful eyes, "My little Gao only cares about his son now and ignores me!"
"So miserable?" Qiu Qiu laughed happily, "Who told you to talk nonsense regardless of the importance?"
"Isn't that a joke?"
Han Jie ran his hands through his hair irritably, "How did I know that my baby would be angry!"
The smile on Xiao Han's face faded, he looked at him seriously, and said seriously, "Brother Han! Although you are older than us, your thinking in this regard is really not as mature as Xiao Gao's.
Xiaoshu was so young, and his parents died not long after he was born. Although Wenjie and Lin Xiaoxi were kind to him, they had problems with food and clothing in those years, and they had no time or inclination to guide him to correct ideas.
To put it bluntly, the child is no different from an animal except that he can talk.
You joke with him, saying that the two godfathers are having a baby, and they want to give him a sister. After the baby is born, you will send him to Chen Gang to raise him instead of him. The child will definitely take it seriously. It would be weird if he doesn't cry.
He has no sense of security to begin with. Don’t you know how hurtful such a joke is to him? ? "
Han Jie fell into silence because of his words. After a long while, he felt guilty and said, "I was negligent. At that time, the child broke in and asked what we were doing. In order to relieve the embarrassment, I just told nonsense.
I didn't expect to hurt Xiaoshu's heart, causing him to run out crying and hide in the brick kiln. He almost fainted from crying.
I, I was really scared at the time and apologized to him immediately. But I didn’t expect that the child would also call me now, but... I didn’t feel as intimate as before.
As for Xiao Gao, he was even more angry. In all these years, he had never been so anxious with me for anything, and he ignored me for half a month. "
"I'll go and persuade him later!"
Qiu Qiu patted his shoulder, thought about it and said, "But you have to go to the child, otherwise the knot will get bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to solve in the future!"
Han Jie nodded gratefully, "Okay! Thank you brother!"
Xiao Han smiled and glared at him, "Aren't you too polite?"
"Okay! Stop talking!"
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
Qiu Qiu raised his chin towards the crowd in the distance. The two nodded and walked over with him.
"Xiao Gao! Can you come here and do me a favor?"
When Xiao Gao heard Qiu Qiu calling him, he quickly brought his child over. When he saw his man smiling ingratiatingly at himself and his son, he ignored it with a blank expression, and then looked at Qiu Qiu with a smile, "What do you want to do?"
"Yeah! Follow me to the warehouse to sort out some supplies, and follow me to the expert building later."
After thinking about it, Qiu Qiu said again, "Brother Han is going to the fields soon. Tangyuan, Taotao, and Xiaoxi hope that those children are here. Can I take Xiaoshu to play with them?"
"Row!"
Xiao Gao knelt down and looked at the child, and asked him with a smile, "Baby Shushu, godfather wants to do something with Uncle Qiu. You go and play with brother Tangyuan and little hope for a while. Godfather will go find you after he finishes his work, okay?" "
Xiaoshu glanced at him without saying a word, then looked up at Han Jie, who was silent and with an ugly face. He immediately gritted his teeth and bit his lip, nodded softly and said, "Go godfather! Xiaoshu will wait for you to come." Pick me up, you must come to pick me up!”
"Okay! Godfather promises you!"
Xiao Gao hugged the child distressedly and kissed his forehead. Then he entrusted the child to Xiao Han and followed Qiu Qiu without looking back. From the beginning to the end, he never gave Han Jie a look. It makes people uncomfortable.
Watching the person walk away, Xiaoshu raised his head and kept worrying about Han Jie. He wanted to open his mouth and call him several times, but he didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he was frightened by Han Jie's ugly face. In the end, he lowered his head and moved slowly. When he came to Xiao Han's side, he stretched out his little hands and gently hugged his legs, burying his head and not looking at Han Jie at all, which made the man even more uncomfortable.
Seeing his guilty and painful look, Xiao Han sympathized with him and felt that he deserved it, but no matter what, the other person was his good friend, so after thinking about it, he coughed to remind him.
Han Jie came back to his senses and saw him pointing at his son. He understood immediately and quickly knelt down and reached out to hug the child, "Baby little tree, come to daddy!"
Xiaoshu's little body trembled slightly, as if resisting, but the next second, he still obediently let go of Xiao Han's hand, looked up at Han Jie, and timidly shouted, "Godfather!"
"good!"
Han Jie hugged the man into his arms, stood up immediately, and looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Baby! Those things my godfather said before were all just farts. Do you know if you don't count? It's like this..."
As he spoke, he winked and pursed his lips to imitate the sound of farting, "Puff——Puff————"
"Hahaha..." The child was still young after all, and he kept laughing when he teased him, "Daddy! You farted!"
"Yes! Godfather farted!" Han Jie hugged him tightly, leaned against his forehead, and rubbed him back and forth. In the past, the father and son liked to do this action every day, but because he said the wrong thing, they stopped for half a month. Never done this before.
Unexpectedly, the child suddenly froze on the spot because of his actions, and his smile disappeared. It was not until a long time passed that Han Jie thought that Xiaoshu really didn't intend to forgive him, and there was a pain in his heart. When he backed away, the child suddenly put his arms around his neck, rubbed his forehead back and forth, and burst into tears.
"Uuuu...godfather! You, you still like Xiaoshu, right?"
"I like it! Godfather not only likes the little tree, but also loves the little tree very, very much!"
Han Jie stepped back and looked at the child who was crying out of breath. He felt distressed and his heart ached. He quickly stretched out a hand to wipe away his tears and said, "Stop crying, okay? It was the godfather's fault before, no." You should have left the door open while you were kissing your little godfather... because you felt embarrassed when you barged in, so you said those words.
Although your godfather was joking, he said he would give you to Uncle Chen Gang.But think about it, baby, if your godfather loves Xiaoshu so much, why would he be willing to give you away? ?
Besides, boys can’t give birth to babies, so how can they give birth to a sister for you, right? "
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My godfather didn't lie!?"
The child cried so hard that he couldn't stop. His eyes when looking at Han Jie were full of longing and uncertainty. Han Jie secretly cursed himself and nodded quickly.
"My godfather didn't lie to anyone, and he won't lie to Xiaoshu in the future. Darling, you should always remember that your godfather and godfather will always love you, grow up with you, and won't give you away. Do you understand?"
"Know, know!"
Xiaoshu pursed his lips and buried his head against Han Jie's neck, sobbing and acting coquettishly, "My godfather hasn't taken Xiaoshu to ride a horse or throw a horse for many days, and he hasn't slept with me and my little godfather yet! "
"Dad wants it too!"
Han Jie tilted his face and rubbed the top of the child's hair, saying distressed and helplessly, "But Xiaoshu doesn't want to be near his godfather these days. Your godfather is also angry because of the baby and ignores me at all!"
"The little tree is not ignoring you!"
The child raised his head and looked at him with red and swollen eyes, "Xiaoshu thought that your godfather scolded you because of Xiaoshu's tantrum that day, and you would be angry and think that Xiaoshu was not good, so, so... …”
"No godfather, baby!"
Han Jie sighed softly, feeling a little more sorry for the child in his heart. This five-year-old child was so sensitive. He was obviously wronged, but he was afraid that his behavior would cause trouble to adults and did not dare to approach his relatives.
How insecure is this!He was really derelict in his duties. Before, he only knew how to give his children good food and drink, and completely ignored what the children really needed.
His hands holding his son couldn't help but tighten. Xiaoshu also quickly tightened her little hands around his neck and called him softly, "Dad!"
"Hey! Baby boy!"
Han Jie calmed down, kissed the other person on the face, and continued to wait patiently and coax him, "Baby, daddy will never..."
Xiao Han looked at the father and son talking slowly, with a faint smile on his lips, and quietly left the place and went to the fields. When Chen Gang and his wife saw him coming, they quickly asked Han Jie and his family if they had reconciled?After getting a positive answer from the other party, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What are you two doing?"
Xiao Han looked at them funny, Chen Gang shook his head, and then gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like Brother Han is so crazy. He doesn't say anything to the child, and he talks nonsense, which makes the child all over his body when he sees me recently. I was tight and hiding far away. People who didn’t know better thought I was a human trafficker!?”
"Who said no?"
Zhuang Qi took the words and said with some complaint, "It doesn't matter to us two adults. The key point is that Xiaoshu is really pitiful. Such a small child has no parents and no mother. They only survive because of Wenjie.
He had no sense of security to begin with, but after finally establishing trust with them, his few jokes were going to send the child to hell. "
"Yes!"
Xiao Han nodded in agreement, "People in the apocalypse are strong and fragile, especially children.
Thinking about our Tang Yuan, Qiu Qiu and I also spent a lot of effort to build trust with him! "
The three of them sighed softly and said nothing more. Then they looked at Han Jie and his son at the same time. At this time, they had already agreed. Xiaoshu sat happily on his father's shoulders, supported steadily by his hands, and looked at the three of them from a distance. People come running.
The child opened his hands, smiled and shouted loudly, causing everyone working around him to look up at them.
Xiao Gao and Qiu Qiu were coming out of the supplies building. Seeing this scene from a distance, smiles appeared on their faces.
"Look! He really loves children, but... regardless of men or women, sometimes they are careless. He really didn't expect that his joke to relieve the embarrassment would cause so much harm to the child."
Qiu Qiu paused, turned around and glanced at Xiao Gao, who was looking thoughtfully in the distance, and continued, "We are all first-time fathers, and no one has mentioned many things. It is impossible to think of everything. Be comprehensive.
It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, just correct them in time. Han Jie loves Xiaoshu no less than you do. I think you should know best how uncomfortable he is during this time! "
"I see!"
Xiao Gao sighed and said softly, "The child is so insecure because we don't care enough. In the future, I will pay attention to it and this kind of thing will not happen again. As for Brother Jie, I won't be angry anymore!"
"Just figure it out!"
Qiu Qiu patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go! There are still many things to do!"
Xiao Gao felt a little guilty, "Sorry! Because of our family of three, I wasted everyone's working time!"
"What nonsense!"
Qiu Qiu glared at him, "Let's go! Everyone is waiting!"
"it is good!"
The two of them smiled and walked side by side towards the farmland. Unexpectedly, when they got closer, they saw everyone looking towards the mountain behind them with solemn expressions. Qiu Qiu and Qiu Qiu were confused and quickly looked back. His eyes narrowed, with a look of shock on his face.
