When He Zifeng came back from washing his clothes, the shabby house was already filled with smoke. As soon as he entered, he saw his son sitting on a small bench holding a small bowl filled with washed raspberries.

When he saw He Zifeng, he wanted to give him something to eat: "Dad, here it is!"

He Zifeng kissed little He Ran's cheek and said, "You can eat it yourself." The little guy became happy with the kiss.

He Zifeng washed his hands and entered the house. He saw that Qiu Yu had already made vegetable dumplings. Their family hadn't eaten all day, and they smelled delicious.

Qiu Yu said: "He hasn't been so happy for a long time." Because the child is an elder brother, no one has played with him since he was a child. Qiu Yu had to do things at home, and He Zifeng also had to work. This was the first time the little guy went out to play, and his father was holding him all the way. This kind of treatment is nowhere to be seen in the whole village. Even children have vanity. On the way back, he kept chattering and couldn't walk smoothly. He had to jump around like a little rabbit. His little face was full of admiration for his father.

He Zifeng said: "I will play with the children more in the future." He raised his head and saw that there was a hole as big as a washbasin on the roof of the shed. Fortunately, it hadn't rained these days, so leaving it exposed was not an option. "I'll find a quick wooden board to give it first tonight to repair the roof."

"I really want to live here, but the He family..." Although Qiu Yu was annoyed by the people there, he had never done anything extraordinary. It always feels like He Donglai and Xiao Wanshi are holding back their bad feelings. The two of them are the family's labour force, and just for this reason, the He family will not let them leave easily.

Qiu Yu felt a little nervous when he thought of this.

He Zifeng said: "What are you afraid of? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes." Then he looked at Qiu Yu and changed the subject: "Why didn't you make eggs and stir-fry willow sprouts? The eggs were specially changed for you?"

Qiu Yu was reluctant to eat. Said: "You can't eat any eggs if you don't have a good time. If you want to eat, I'll fry one for you."

He Zifeng said: "Then fry an egg for the child." Such a good child has never been blessed by being with him.

Qiu Yu was reluctant to part with it, but if he wanted to give his son something good to eat, he would go over and fry it immediately. It looks golden on both sides and is oily and fragrant.

Before I could call the child, the little guy ran over on his own. My eyes lit up when I saw something delicious.

Qiu Yu said: "Little greedy cat."

Xiao Heran retorted angrily in front of Qiu Yu: "I'm not greedy."

He Zifeng said: "Here, let's eat it." After that, he gave him a wild vegetable dumpling and a fried egg.

The little guy's eyes were almost glued to it, and he said, "Dad, eat it."

He Zifeng smiled and said: "Eat quickly. If you like it, I will make it for you next time."

The little guy is quite humble, and he won't eat until Qiu Yu takes a bite. Qiu Yu took a bite, and Xiao Heran started eating with satisfaction.

He rarely eats eggs. Today I finished it in three or two bites, and then I ate vegetable dumplings.

Qiu Yu has tried her best to make the vegetable dumplings as delicious as possible. But the whole grain scratches the throat and is not easy to swallow. Xiao Heran swallowed hard before he could continue to take another bite.
