Yu Jingzhe looked at Niuniu's innocent and lively appearance, as if she was a fairy. The question he asked made him unable to answer it, if he had to use his profound knowledge to explain that Niuniu was too young to understand.
Yu Jingzhe thought for a while and finally thought of a good idea. In ancient times, there was always a story of the moon and Chang'e. This kind of story was most suitable for small children like Niu Niu.
So Yu Jingzhe thought about it. This story was probably something he heard a long time ago. It was strange that he hadn't lost these things in his head before.
All he had forgotten were those people and the things he had come into contact with. The martial arts he had learned and the stories he had heard were still arranged in his mind.
Yu Jingzhe didn't think too much about why he forgot about it, even though it might be a special situation for him.
"In ancient times, there was a girl named Chang'e who was married to Houyi. One day, he secretly took some divine medicine …" Yu Jingzhe told him the story while sitting in the yard with Niu Niu in his arms.
Zhang Nan had never told Niu Niu such a mythical story. He had always thought that Niu Niu never wanted to tell him such stories. Besides, Zhang Nan had always had too many things to tell him.
They didn't even have the time to sit in the yard and admire the moon together, so Yu Jingzhe's story Niu Niu sounded very serious. When Yu Jingzhe finished, she asked him all sorts of questions.
Niuniu was very curious as to why Chang'e flew to the moon. Did she not think that Houyi would have a hard time on his own in the mortal world? Niuniu's way of thinking was very naive.
"Uncle, did my father go to the moon as well?" Niu Niu thought that he had never seen her father before, so she curiously asked Yu Jingzhe, because Chang'e had never seen Houyi ever since she ran for the moon.
The reason she didn't see her father was because he wasn't on Earth anymore. If that was the case, when she grew up, she would definitely go to the moon to see her father.
Yu Jingzhe didn't think that he would be able to think of such a question when the little guy's old cave was opened. However, if he didn't answer the question well, it might hurt the little guy's heart.
But if Niuniu was told that her father had gone to the moon, it would be an inexplicable deception for her. She didn't know how to answer, but a child of that age definitely wouldn't understand so much.
Zhang Nan had never told Niu Niu where her father went, so in Niu Niu's world, her mother was the only one who never existed. She clearly remembered that her father would call back once a month.
At most, they would talk for a few sentences before hanging up hurriedly. Sometimes, Niuniu's dad wouldn't even be willing to open a video, so there was only one photo of him in Niuniu's memories.
Zhang Nan tiptoed to Yu Jingzhe and Niu Niu's side and sat down. She had heard Niu Niu's question, but she also didn't know how to answer. Zhang Nan had always asked Niu Niu not to lie.
To be an honest child, if she lied to Niuniu now, she wouldn't be able to teach her to be an honest child in the future, so she didn't know how to reply.
If they answered truthfully, something so small and cruel might not even be able to handle it, they would be in a difficult position. They didn't know how to face such a small girl.
"Niuniu …" Yu Jingzhe wanted to explain to Niuniu why her dad was not around, but Niuniu seemed to suddenly understand.
"Is Daddy going to give birth to a brother?" Niuniu didn't know what was going on. She only said it when she heard people say it, but it was the truth.
Zhang Nan was dumbfounded. She didn't know why Niu Niu would know this, because she never told Niu Niu about this. She told her that her dad didn't come back because he wanted to buy her new clothes and a new school bag.
She didn't expect Niu Niu to say something like this. Could it be that all the long-tongued women in the village spouted nonsense in front of her? Even Zhang Nan felt a little powerless.
If Niuniu knew the truth when she was young, it would be a cruel blow to her, so Zhang Nan didn't know how to explain it to her.
"Your father didn't give birth to his brother. He only went out to earn money because he wanted to buy new clothes for you." Yu Jingzhe felt that no matter what the big man thought, he must leave behind a good memory for the child.
Once such a young child had a shadow in her heart, she would follow him for the rest of her life. Therefore, regardless of what the world of adults might be like, they had to leave behind a beautiful childhood for their child.
Zhang Nan originally wanted to tell the truth, but she didn't expect Yu Jingzhe to suddenly say it like this. However, it was good enough for Niuniu to have a beautiful expectation.
Zhang Nan also had hopes that Niu Niu's father wasn't Chen Shimei, but really hadn't come back yet due to work.
However, Zhang Nan had a certain understanding in her heart. She knew that no matter the circumstances, if Niuniu's father had this family, he would definitely come back.
There must be a problem with her not coming back for so many years. Although she didn't get the exact answer, a woman's sixth instinct was the most accurate one, so Zhang Nan didn't expect anything.
Niuniu had pestered Yu Jingzhe to tell her stories all night, so Yu Jingzhe had no choice, so he told Niuniu the story all night. Niuniu was reluctant to sleep at night.
Yu Jingzhe's heart ached a little, so he always took Niuniu to bed. Early the next morning, Yu Jingzhe got up, washed up, and prepared to leave. He had already decided to walk.
There was nothing much left to pack except the two sets of clothes Zhang Nan had bought for him. Because the clothes she had bought were so tattered that she couldn't wear them anymore, Zhang Nan had saved him once before.
So he went to the town and bought two sets of clothes for him to clean up. That was why Yu Jingzhe always treated Zhang Nan as his own sister. Only his own sister would treat him like this.
Zhang Nan got up very early because she had to leave. She made breakfast for Yu Jingzhe to eat before she went out. There were no acquaintances or working experience so it was hard to find a job.
"Uncle, don't go." Niuniu suddenly woke up and didn't put on her shoes. She ran out of the door barefooted and shouted Yu Jingzhe. Looking at her, she was in so much pain.
