Xiao Chen put down the rag and walked into the yard. He found Nini squatting on the ground, staring at a small pile of soil with an excited look on her face.

Xiao Chen looked carefully and found that it was a small pile of ants, with many black ants crawling back and forth around him.

Nini said excitedly: "Dad, it's an ant nest."

Xiao Chen knew what Nini was thinking and said with a smile: "Does Nini want to observe the little ant? But today we must clean the house first, and Dad will watch it with you tomorrow."

"Okay!" Nini nodded sensibly, and took hands with Xiao Chen back to the house to continue cleaning.

Black-haired ball lazily lay on the kang, sleeping half-closed. Just now, in order to get rid of the entangled rhubarb, it went through a lot of hardships to escape from Grandma Zhao's house. Now it is tired all over and is planning to take a good rest.

However, Xiao Chen grabbed the back of his neck and lifted it up and threw it into the yard. Xiao Chen said with a stern face: "Sleep in all day and don't exercise your skills well. How can you protect Nini when she encounters danger? Do you really think of yourself as a cat?"

Black Hair Ball: "..." You are the boss, I'm convinced, okay!

It took Xiao Chen and Nini to clean the house for more than an hour. It was already late at this time, and the father and daughter were preparing to wash and rest. Nini stood in the yard with a water cup and brushed her teeth. She looked up at the night sky and was immediately attracted by the bright stars in the sky.

The stars of all sizes shine like gems dotted on black satin. Nini had seen the stars in the sky before, but she didn't care at that time because she could see them every day.

But recently, she has lived in the county town, and there are almost no stars in the night sky polluted by dazzling lights. So now when Nini sees the stars, she suddenly feels very beautiful. She blinks her bright big eyes and stares at the stars in the sky, and before she knows it, she is fascinated.

After Xiao Chen finished washing up, he found that Nini was still in the yard, so he walked out and touched her head and said, "Ni Ni is looking at the stars?" He also raised his head and looked at the night sky and sighed, "Is the night sky here very beautiful? Dad has walked through many places, but the most beautiful thing is the night sky in his hometown."

When she was in Ruolan Continent, Xiao Chen traveled to many places and saw countless night skyscrapers. Some were magnificent, some were fantastic, and some were fascinating, but the most beautiful one was still the night sky of Xiahe Village.

Anyway, he wouldn't go to bed immediately, so Xiao Chen held Nini and sat in the yard of the old house counting the stars in the sky.

"One, two, three... Dad, how many stars are there in the sky?"

"There are as many stars as there are on the earth."

"Which star is me? Which star is dad? Which star is mom?"

"The three closest stars are just because we are a family."

"Where are the stars of grandma?"

"Grandma's stars are right next to us."

"Where is the stars of grandpa?"

"He's here too, he's been protecting our family."

Nini has never met her grandfather, and Tian Xiufen rarely mentions it to her, so the little guy is very curious about her grandfather's affairs.

Xiao Chen thought for a while, picked up Nini and said, "Nini, do you want to see grandpa? Let's go and flip through the old photo album." Nini nodded, and the father and daughter returned to the house, and the black hairball who had been guarding the side also took the opportunity to get into the house.

"It seems like here, ah, I found it!" Xiao Chen carried out a large old cardboard box from under the closet, which contained many photo albums. Xiao Chen found the oldest photo album inside, brushed away the dust on it, and said to Nini with a smile: "The photos of grandpa are all here, and there are photos of fathers when he was a child."

Nini shouted excitedly: "I want to see! I want to see it all!" The little guy was very curious. What did my father look like when he was a child? Is he as cute as himself?

Xiao Chen opened the album and found a photo of himself and his father when he was a child. In the photo, five-year-old Xiao Chen rode around his father's neck, holding a toy car, and the father and son smiled happily.

Nini's little head leaned over and pointed at Xiao Chen's father and said, "Is he the grandpa? Who is the little boy riding on his neck?"

"Yes, he is grandpa." Xiao Chen asked with a smile: "Ni Ni, who is this little boy?"

Nini blinked, pointed at Xiao Chen and smiled, "It's dad!"

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, and the father and daughter continued to look through the photos in the album. The scenes of the past seemed to appear before their eyes again.

As time got late, Nini began to yawn. She was already sleepy. Xiao Chen closed the album and coaxed her to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, each of them moved a small stool and sat in the yard to observe the little ants. Hei Hair Qiu lay bored on the windowsill to bask in the sun. He was frightened by Xiao Chen's eyes and ran out to "exercise" again.

Nini looked at the little ants with a magnifying glass. She had just sprinkled some white sugar near the ant nest. The little ants were immediately attracted and carried the sugar particles into the nest. However, some sugar particles were too large for the small ants to move, so Nini helped them with small wooden sticks.

Seeing the hardworking little ant crawling into the nest, Nini said with some regret: "It would be great if I could see the ant's nest."

"Does Nini want to go into an ant nest to explore?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile. He suddenly had an idea after hearing Nini's words. He remembered the previous enlargement and shrinking device, which was just enough to satisfy Nini's wishes.

When Nini heard this, she suddenly became excited and shouted, "I want! I want!"

"Very good, then you have to listen to your father. We continue to take the equipment we used to go to the Children's Country last time, and it is the original rules. Don't open your eyes or be afraid. Dad is next to you."

"Yeah!" Nini nodded.

Xiao Chen took out the two watch-like devices and brought them to him and Nini, then pressed the red button on Nini's device, and Nini instantly shrunk to the size of an ant.

Xiao Chen winked at the black hair ball lying on the roof, asking it to pay attention to protecting itself and Nini's safety. Once an outsider tries to get close to the ant nest or poses a threat to Xiao Chen and Nini, the black hair ball will attack him!

Then Xiao Chen also pressed his red button and came to Nini's side.

"Ni Ni can open her eyes."

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Nini opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she had indeed become smaller. Everything around her has become extremely huge. Is the building like a castle in the distance my own home? And the little ants in front of her have now become the size of a big yellow cow, and they are carrying sugar particles into the nest in an orderly manner.
