Duo Shou always followed Duo Fu around. He was a sensible person and had never been punished by Duo Fu. He wasn't afraid of Duo Fu's stern face and would still approach him as usual.

After learning that beef bone soup was good for teeth, Duo Shou took beef bones out of the ice bucket to wash after breakfast the next day, thinking that Duo Fu could drink beef bone soup as soon as possible.

When Duofu learned of this, he thought to himself, "Duoshou is indeed the best younger brother, unlike the other two younger brothers who only know how to upset him."

Duo Fu glanced at Duo Lu and Duo Xi practicing martial arts in the backyard and felt that as the eldest brother, he should discipline his younger brothers more to prevent them from causing trouble outside.

So, completely unaware of what was happening, Duolu and Duoxi were brutally beaten up by Duofu under the guise of being sparring partners.

After finishing her martial arts practice, Duoxi, who usually plays with her younger brother Duoji, smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen and asked, "Auntie, can Duoji drink beef bone soup?"

Dorjee is strong and healthy. He started eating complementary foods when he was five months old, but he could only eat rice water, rice cereal, vegetable puree, egg custard, fish puree, and the like.

Duoxi was full of anticipation for his younger brother. Having been the younger brother for so long, he really wanted to hear Duoji call him "older brother." When Duoji was eating complementary food, Duoxi would often feed him, thinking that he would be the first to hear Duoji call him "older brother."

When he found something good, Duoxi thought of feeding it to Duoji so that he could grow up quickly.

Unfortunately, there were too many impurities in the beef bones, and Dorje's small body was not yet used to drinking beef bone soup.

Yu Rujia: "No, we have to wait until Dorje is a little older before he can drink it."

Duoxi could only regretfully give up the idea: "I'll feed my little brother steamed egg custard later."

Upon hearing the name of his food, Dorje's chubby arms moved even faster. He climbed out of the cradle and pounced on Dorje, making "ah ah ah" noises and even nibbling on Dorje's face, fully expressing his affection for him.

Duoxi kept dodging as he nibbled at her, saying, "Duoji, don't nibble, don't nibble."

When others kiss him, it's an expression of affection. But when his younger brother kisses him, he's actually biting him, especially since Dorje is teething. It really hurts when he bites, and he ends up with a face full of saliva.

When Dorje became enthusiastic, it was hard for Duoxi to resist. Only when Duofu brought out the steamed egg custard did Duoxi manage to escape the pain of being captured by Dorje.

Duoxi glanced at Duoji, who was sitting obediently waiting to be fed, and thought to himself, "This kid becomes especially well-behaved when it comes to food."

I have to commend Gao Shujing. Every time he feeds Dorje, he makes sure to position him properly before feeding him. If Dorje's posture is incorrect, he stops feeding him, repositions Dorje, and then feeds him again.

After many repetitions, the little guy, who had developed intelligence, remembered these things. Every time he smelled food, he would obediently get into position and wait for someone to feed him.

If he waits a while and the food still hasn't been put in his mouth, he will throw a tantrum.

So everyone knows that when eating things that Dorje can't eat, you have to take Dorje away first.

Duoxi reached out his hand to Duofu: "Big brother, let me feed Duoji."

Duofu was a little reluctant to give the steamed egg custard to Duoxi, who was Duolu's follower. Both of them were mischievous little brothers. What if Duoxi spent too much time with Duoji and learned their temperament and became a mischievous little brother himself?

Thinking of this, Duofu did not hand the steamed egg custard to Duoxi, but gestured for him to feed it himself.

The older brother in front of him had changed, but Dorje didn't even blink, still obediently stretching his neck and waiting for the food to arrive.

Seeing this, Duoxi pouted and pressed Duoji's little head: "You little ingrate, I was just playing with you."

Dorje's head tilted slightly as he was pressed down, and the little guy let out a self-righteous, tender warning sound at Dorje before quickly getting back into position and craning his neck to stare at his food.

Duofu picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of steamed egg custard into Duoji's mouth. The little guy, who had little experience, squinted his eyes as he savored the delicious aroma, his little mouth moving constantly as he tasted the egg custard.

Yu Rujia, sitting nearby, witnessed this scene and thought to herself, "Raising more children is truly worthwhile as long as they are well-educated."

From the moment Dorje was born, the children in the family competed to take care of him, and she herself spent less time taking care of him than the children did.

If it weren't for needing her for breastfeeding, she could be considered someone who only gives birth but doesn't raise the child. How many people have it as easy giving birth as she does?

We had hot pot today, starting around 5 or 6 pm. Since Duofu can't eat spicy food, the beef bone broth soup base wasn't seasoned much, so it's drinkable on its own.

Others can mix their own seasonings.

The beef bone soup didn't taste as strong and flavorful as yesterday's braised beef bone soup.

Although Dorje felt that the food he was eating was different from theirs, he was still young, and the fish paste was delicious, so the little guy stayed quietly in Gao Shujing's arms and ate without causing trouble like yesterday.

Gao Guojing hadn't finished his meal when he started thinking about the next one: "How about we have barbecue tomorrow?"

Yu Rujia: "Okay, we still have more than 50 jin of fresh meat at home. We need to empty the ice bucket quickly to put other meats in. We haven't made any cured meats this year except for beef jerky."

We kept 100 jin of beef. We sent some to the cowshed last night and had a feast today. If we were to cook the rest of the meat normally, it would take more than a week to finish it.

If we have a barbecue tomorrow, we'll probably eat at least 20 or 30 pounds of beef. We'll only need to eat two or three pieces of the remaining beef.

Gao Shujing: "Once we've eaten enough beef, we'll take Duofu into the mountains again. This time, we'll choose wild boar, sheep, and deer as our opponents."

Bao Duolu finally finished eating the large amount of beef he had been eating and said, "When the pork, mutton, and venison come back, can we have braised pork ribs, hot pot, and barbecue again?"

This guy's ambitions are even greater than Gao Guojing's. While Gao Guojing is only eyeing tomorrow's meal, this guy is eyeing the meals that are still nowhere in sight.

Gao Guojing joked, "Not bad, Duolu, you're more promising than Uncle Guojing, and you see further than Uncle Guojing."

Yu Rujia laughed and said, "If it's really as you say, and we can bring back these prey, you can have anything you want."

Duolu immediately looked at Duofu, who was slowly chewing beef, with an expectant expression: "Big brother, how about you bring back the pigs, sheep, and deer?"

Duofu generously said, "If you come across one, bring it back." After a day of adaptation and adjustment, the clarity of his speech improved somewhat, although he spoke a little slower than before.

One dares to speak, and the other dares to respond.

Duolu said confidently, "Brother will definitely meet him."

Duofu asked, not really hoping, "Auntie, can I eat at the barbecue tomorrow?"

His recovery is good. Two days have passed, and if there is no major irritation to his gums, there is no need to worry about bleeding anymore. He ate clear broth beef hot pot today and it was fine, but he still needs to be careful.

Yu Rujia: "You're allowed to eat a little, just to taste it."
