Rural Dad

The bus slowly stopped at the street of Qingshi Town.

Zhao Han held his sleeping daughter in one hand and dragged his suitcase in the other hand as he got off the bus in the heat.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street, he felt a little disappointed. Qingshi Town has changed a lot in seven years.

Not only is the expressway open, but even the houses on the street have obviously been replaced with new ones, neat and beautiful.

I don’t know what’s going on in the village.

“Dad, you’re blocking me——”

A babyish voice sounded behind him.

A little boy about five or six years old, with fair skin and a little baby fat, a refreshing crew cut, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, dragged two small suitcases and looked at his father helplessly.

It turned out that Zhao Han stood at the door after getting off the bus, blocking other passengers including his baby son.

"Hahaha, this child is so handsome."

"Yes, this little baby is so cute."

"Don't you see that his father is handsome?"

The passengers laughed kindly.

"You kid." Zhao Han looked at his son who had the same hairstyle as him, and then apologized to everyone: "I haven't been back for several years. I was a little absent-minded for a while. I'm really sorry."

Everyone said that they were fine.

Zhao Han loosened the suitcase and grabbed his son's collar roughly and pulled him down.

Zhao Xing didn't struggle either, obviously he was used to it.

"Dad, are we home?" The daughter in his arms woke up at some point, her eyes were hazy, her little face was flushed, and she looked around blankly.

She is four years old this year, with two buns tied with ribbons in her hair. She looks like a delicate jade, wearing a white dress. This half-awake and confused look is extremely cute and has melted many people.

Facing his daughter, Zhao Han was no longer as rude as he was with his son, and his tone was particularly gentle: "Not yet, we still have to take a car to get home."

"Well, but I don't want to take the car anymore. I feel dizzy when I take the car, Dad." Guoguo pouted, hugged Zhao Han's neck and murmured with an uncomfortable look.

Zhao Han could only comfort her: "Guoguo, be good, you will see grandpa soon. Grandpa has cats and dogs at home. Let Guoguo take care of them when the time comes, okay?"

"Really? Are there really cats and dogs at grandpa's house?" Guoguo's eyes suddenly brightened.

Zhao Xing's eyes also brightened, and he cheered and said: "Dad, I want to raise a puppy too."

"What the hell are you raising? Take care of yourself first." Zhao Han instantly switched to a strict father state.

Zhao Xing's face suddenly fell.

Guoguo kissed Zhao Han on the face, then hugged his head and said, "Brother, raise her too."

"Okay, okay, Guoguo has the final say. Let your brother raise her too. My Guoguo is awesome." Zhao Han vividly performed his hometown's unique skill - face-changing.

Zhao Xingxing sighed helplessly. His father is obsessed with daughters, and it's helpless for him to be his son!

At this moment, a pickup truck loaded with goods stopped in front of the family of three, and then a turtle poked its head out like a turtle: "Fuck! Brother Han!"

"You are..." Looking at the young man in front of him with a face full of surprise, Zhao Han suddenly remembered: "Chen Liang! Liangzi!"

Chen Liang and he were not from the same village, but they were good buddies, because they were deskmates from elementary school to junior high school and high school, until Zhao Han later went to the army.

Zhao Han was very happy to meet his old playmates just after returning.

"It's me, Brother Han. You look stronger than before. You must be training in the army." Chen Liang got off the car and looked at Guoguo and Xingxing in Zhao Han's arms with a look of doubt: "These two children..."

"My son and daughter, why don't you say hello to Uncle Chen." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"Hello Uncle Chen~"

The two children dragged their baby voices.

Chen Liang was a little at a loss, and fumbled in his pocket for a while: "This... I don't have anything to give to the children. Look at you, it's fine if you don't come back, but once you come back, you bring me two nephews. I'm not prepared as an uncle."

"Okay, we don't have to be so polite. What about you, are you married?" Zhao Han asked.

Chen Liang grinned: "I got married the year before last, and she just gave me a big fat son. I was going to show off to you. Good guy, you gave birth to two. By the way, where is your sister-in-law? Didn't your sister-in-law come back with you?"

"Divorced." Zhao Han's expression suddenly darkened.

Guoguo and Xingxing were also a little upset.

"Dad." Guoguo hugged Zhao Han tightly.

Xingxing also grabbed Zhao Han's hand.

The brother and sister were young, but they were extremely sensible.

Zhao Han smiled with relief: "Okay, does Dad still need you two little guys to comfort him? With you accompanying Dad, Dad will be satisfied in this life."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Guoguo will always accompany Dad and never leave." Guoguo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Xingxing also hurriedlySaid: "Me too."

"This... Brother Han, I'm sorry... Look at my stinky mouth, I keep asking nonsense questions, ah!" Chen Liang looked annoyed and helpless, and slapped himself lightly.

Zhao Han smiled heartily: "It's okay, you don't know, by the way, how is my father's health?"

His mother died of illness at an early age, and he was raised by his father. It was because he thought that his father was the only one left at home, and because of his ex-wife's divorce, he chose to retire and take the children back to his hometown.

It's time for the child to see his grandfather.

Hearing this, Chen Liang's face suddenly became unnatural, and he was hesitant to speak.

"What happened?" The smile on Zhao Han's face gradually disappeared, and he became serious.

Chen Liang stammered: "In fact, it's not a big deal. Wang Kui wanted to expand his breeding farm recently, and he had his eyes on your family's forest. He harassed Uncle Zhao for this."

Wang Kui used to be Zhao Han's classmate, but at that time the two didn't get along, and he beat Wang Kui a lot.

"Drive me a distance." Zhao Han frowned slightly.

His father was bullied, how could the son not stand up?

Guoguo blinked, her little face full of worry: "Dad, was Grandpa bullied by the bad guys?"

Xingxing looked angry and excited: "He dared to bully Grandpa, Dad, let's go and beat him up."

Chen Liang was stunned, looking at Xingxing, he suddenly felt that this kid was exactly the same as Zhao Han when he was a child, aggressive.

He really deserves to be his own son!

"Brother Han, don't worry too much, your uncle is here, Wang Kui didn't dare to go too far, and he has been quiet in the past few days, and he hasn't bothered Uncle Zhao for the time being." Chen Liang hurriedly comforted Zhao Han.

Zhao Han said calmly: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

But Chen Liang was helpless when he heard this.

Because he didn't believe Zhao Han really knew his limits.

He hesitated to say it before because he knew that Zhao Han would not let it go after he said it, and he was afraid that the conflict would be further intensified.

But now that things have come to this, he also knows that he can't persuade Zhao Han, so he can only say: "Get in the car first."
