But he had never seen a child with such great strength before; it was beyond his comprehension, which was why he showed that kind of expression.

It took Erzai a while to realize that human children shouldn't be that strong. She was only focused on pretending in front of the adults because Congcong was a child, and he hadn't shown any unusual behavior when she talked about recognizing words, so she let her guard down.

The second child froze in fear, but luckily the Eldest Cub spoke up in time to explain, "My sister is just naturally stronger."

Congcong looked at him and Sanzai: "And you two?"

The third child said, "We're not as strong as our older sister; we're very weak."

Congcong breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew it... But everyone's constitution is different, it's perfectly normal. I was just making a mountain out of a molehill."

Some people don't like being treated specially. When Congcong saw that Erzai's expression had changed, she thought that her attitude earlier had hurt her, so she quickly tried to make amends.

Seeing that he believed him, Erzai relaxed and a smile returned to his face. "Yes, yes, everyone is different. Just like Brother Congcong, your voice is very nice."

"Haha, really? My parents said the same thing."

A few hours later, Congcong's father said goodbye to the children and took Congcong home. In the car, Congcong told his father about how the three children had learned so many words just by watching cartoons and TV dramas.

Congcong's father chatted with Tao Qiu and Lou Yu for a few minutes inside the house. He greatly admired the two men. Hearing his son say this, he said, "Children resemble their parents; both of their fathers are very strong in every aspect."

Congcong said, "I gave my younger brother and sister our home address, and said they can come and play with me in the future."

Dad said, "They're all good kids. Playing with them won't do any harm."

Meanwhile, the three kids, Lou Yu followed Chen Lin to the kitchen to cook. They gathered around Tao Qiu and told him about how they almost got caught.

Erzai hung his head and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have shown off like that."

The Eldest Cub said, "I was also wrong. I wasn't paying attention and showed the words to Brother Congcong first."

The third child concluded. "I'm sorry, Dad."

Tao Qiu smiled and gently reassured them, "It's alright, didn't you find a very reasonable excuse to coax Congcong? He won't suspect anything."

Eldest Cub: "What if he tells someone else?"

Tao Qiu said, "No? So you're just a little smarter and a little stronger? As the saying goes, the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs. Even if people hear that you're very outstanding, most people won't think too much about it. And even if they do, they won't think that we're Snow Bird in disguise. Don't worry, my darlings."

With Tao Qiu's comforting words, the three boys' guilt lessened considerably, but they also reminded themselves that they needed to be more careful in the future.

Chapter 101 Warning! Warning!

This winter has been exceptionally peaceful at the base. Most people there have enough to eat and wear, there have been no attacks by mutated monsters, and the snowfall has been normal, with no snow disasters.

On New Year's Eve, the team arrived at Tao Qiu's place early and joined in putting up couplets, cutting paper-cuts, and hanging lanterns, making the house and surrounding area very lively.

"Dad, Lou Yu, Dad, look! This is a little bird I cut out." Erzai held up the paper-cut window decorations he had made to show Tao Qiu and Lou Yu.

The children drew and cut the paper themselves, so it looks a bit rough and doesn't have any complicated cutout patterns. It's really just a piece of paper shaped like a little bird, with the only cutout design being the bird's eyes.

A work brimming with childlike innocence and charm.

But these are just cuts for the kids to use themselves, not for sale. As long as they like them, that's fine.

After carefully examining the cut, Tao Qiu gave Erzai a thumbs up, "Xuexue is so young, yet she uses scissors so well! She didn't even prick herself, and the little bird she cut is so lifelike. She's truly Daddy's smart baby."

Lou Yu also said, "What a beautiful little bird! Later, Daddy will help you stick it on your bedroom window, okay?"

"Okay!" Erzai nodded vigorously. "I'll go cut a few more; I need to stick them on the corners of the window."

The second child left happily, and a little while later, the third Eldest Cub, who had also finished his work, came to his two fathers asking for praise.

The Eldest Cub cut out two figures, saying they were Tao Qiu and Lou Yu; the third son cut out several flowers and gave one to each member of the family.

Tao Qiu and Lou Yu praised their skills and dedication, and the children, after hearing their fathers' sweet words, worked even harder.

We had hot pot for lunch, with lamb as the main meat. The lamb was sliced thinly and cooked quickly in the broth, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while. The adults chatted in the living room, while the three kids went for a nap.

Unless there are special circumstances, the kids take a nap for at least an hour every day.

When the children woke up, the adults were already preparing for the evening's big meal.

Those with culinary skills take charge of cooking, while those without assist with tasks such as preparing ingredients.

It was cold, so the adults wouldn't let the kids touch the water. But to give them a sense of participation, they gave them some scallions and garlic to peel. After they finished peeling, they sent them off to watch cartoons.

When it was time for dinner, according to old custom, firecrackers were set off to celebrate. However, the base did not produce firecrackers, so everyone used their mobile phones to play a short audio clip of firecrackers to make do.

The table was laden with all sorts of dishes, both meat and vegetables, each one smelling incredibly tempting, making one almost want to devour the whole plate.

Everyone ate until they were stuffed; there was almost nothing left on the table.

Because they were in a good mood, the adults had a few drinks, but they were only slightly tipsy and no one got drunk. The three kids, on the other hand, obediently drank sugar water; they were not allowed to touch alcohol.

After the meal, the dining table and kitchen were cleaned up, and everyone moved to the living room to begin the red envelope distribution.

The adults here are all of the same generation, and there are only three children among the younger generation, so naturally all the red envelopes belong to them.

The kids received red envelopes from the adults, plus the money from selling mutated monster meat, which Tao Qiu and Lou Yu gave them almost all. Now, the kids are considered little tycoons among the children.

The three boys were sweet-talking; they said different words of thanks when receiving red envelopes from different people, making the adults beam with joy and praising them as good children.

After that, they played cards or chess, or sat together watching TV dramas. The noise in the living room never stopped, and they didn't decide to go home until late at night.

Fortunately, the situation was similar across the entire base tonight, otherwise they would definitely be sued for disturbing the peace.

Don't drink and drive. Even in the wasteland era, there were no traffic police in the base, but most people still followed this rule.

John and his group were numerous and not afraid of walking at night. After saying goodbye to Tao Qiu Lou Yu the boys, they chatted as they walked back.

They live in the same neighborhood and aren't far apart. It won't take long to walk there, and it'll be a nice moment to enjoy the cool breeze and refresh myself.

After seeing their teammates off, the two fathers took their children to wash up and then sent them to their respective rooms before returning to their own bedrooms.

As soon as the door closed and the light was turned on, Tao Qiu kicked off his slippers and jumped onto Lou Yu. Lou Yu caught him instinctively and chuckled, "What? You're like a monkey."

Tao Qiu wrapped her legs around Lou Yu's waist, rested her chin on his shoulder, and hummed, "That's right, I am the monkey. Why don't you hurry up and offer the Monkey King the most delicious bananas?"

Lou Yu sighed, feigning difficulty, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, it's just that there are no bananas in the base."

"Nonsense, what? There's nothing left." Tao Qiu straightened up and looked at Lou Yu. He had drunk a few more cups tonight, and now the effects of the alcohol were taking hold. His snow-white skin was flushed, and his eyelids, earlobes, and neck looked as if they were covered with a layer of sunset glow, making him look incredibly handsome.

He stared with eyes that seemed to hold spring water, leaned close to Lou Yu's lips, and chuckled, "Isn't Little Fishy always on me? I've eaten it before."

Realizing what he meant, Lou Yu felt an overwhelming sense of shame even though no one else was around.

After drinking, Tao Qiu became even bolder and more unrestrained in his speech.

But after the shame subsided, lust spread from the depths of his heart to every part of his body. He thought that only he had seen this side of Tao Qiu, and Tao Qiu would only show it to him.

The overwhelming sensation made Lou Yu's breathing become heavier.

"Qiuqiu." Lou Yu's apple bobbed as he met Tao Qiu's eyes, which seemed both confused and lucid. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Tao Qiu pouted, "Am I an idiot or are you an idiot? Of course I know what I'm saying, huh?"

He was at least half-drunk, talking like a child.

You can't argue with a drunkard, especially since this is your partner; you have to appease him.

Lou Yu comforted him, "It's my fault, I'm stupid, I didn't understand just now."

"So, do you understand now?" Tao Qiu wrapped her arms around Lou Yu's neck, half-coquettishly and half-commandingly saying, "Quickly give the Monkey King a banana."

Because Tao Qiu said they shouldn't tease Lou Yu too much, for the past two weeks they've just been chatting under the covers at night. Being so young and already hot-tempered, and with Tao Qiu teasing him like this, Lou Yu couldn't take it anymore.

"You really want to eat?" Lou Yu teased him deliberately. "Where do you want to eat?"

Without hesitation, Tao Qiu kissed Lou Yu's lips, giving him her answer, "Here."

Lou Yu's breath hitched, his gaze suddenly turned fierce, and his return kiss was so forceful it seemed like he wanted to devour him.

Seeing this, Tao Qiu didn't dodge, but instead tried to outdo him in ferocity. Before long, both of them tasted blood, though they didn't know whose it was.

Lou Yu carried Tao Qiu to the bedside, bent down and placed him on the bed, then straightened up, seemingly unsure of what to do.

Tao Qiu used her foot to hook the man back, glaring at him fiercely, "Trying to run away?"

Lou Yu leaned in, licking his broken lips, and grinned broadly.

When he's not being serious, Lou Yu's behavior is completely different from his usual self.

"I didn't want to run away, I just wanted to turn off the main light and turn on the desk lamp to create a better atmosphere."

"No, I like having the headlights on."
