Duofu couldn't help but cough, reminding the three who were plotting that the person they were talking about was about to appear: "Duoshou, Duoji, we're going to take a bath."

The bathroom is only so big, and as the kids grow older, they also grow bigger, so it gets crowded when they shower together.

In winter, you could say that you can squeeze together to take a warm bath.

It's October now, and the lowest temperature at night in Shangfen Brigade is still around 20 degrees Celsius, while the daytime high temperature can even reach over 30 degrees Celsius, so it doesn't need to be too warm.

The little ones took a bath in two separate groups.

Those who love to dance wildly while taking a bath include a group of people named Duolu and Duoxi, while the reliable ones include a group named Duofu, Duoshou, and Duoji.

It is worth mentioning that after Gao Guojing left, Duoji started sleeping in the same room as Duofu and Duoshou.

Yu Rujia looked up and saw Duolu and Duoxi carrying buckets out of the bathroom. She immediately sat up straight.

After thinking for a moment, he waved to Tosuke, who had also gotten up.

The little one leaned closer and whispered, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Yu Rujia: "I'll leave the investigation of Duolu's abnormality to you. Let us know immediately if there's anything."

When Dorje saw the two who had just separated huddled together again, he craned his neck to listen and just overheard Duoshou say, "I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Dorjee looked at the two of them curiously with his big, grape-like eyes: "What mission? I want to do it too."

Yu Rujia reached out and pushed the little bun away, casually saying, "I'll have your third brother give you a bath, and make sure you're all clean."

Dorje believed it, but was unhappy about being looked down upon, and retorted, "I take a bath myself, and I get clean."

When the weather got hot this year, Duofu and the others taught the little guy to take a bath by himself.

Yu Rujia teased, "Oh, so you don't need your brothers to wash your back anymore, right?"

Dorje tilted his head and thought for a moment, remembering that his arms were too short to reach his back, and that his older brothers usually had to help him wash his back when he took a bath.

Dorje glanced at his chubby little hands and changed his tune in a childish voice: "I'll let Third Brother help me with my back, but I'll wash the rest myself. I'll make sure they're clean."

Self-disciplined children deserve praise, and Yu Rujia praised generously: "Duoji is so great! Mom loves you the most. Go take a bath now, don't keep your older brothers waiting."

After luring the little one away, Gao Shujing sat down, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes softening with tenderness: "You're about to give birth, and you're still fooling around with Duoshou and the others. Aren't you tired?"

Yu Rujia said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it just that I'm too curious? As the naughtiest little monkey in our family, he suddenly changed. Aren't you curious?"

If it weren't for the fact that Dorje's soul was normal, she would have suspected that the child she had raised since childhood had had his soul replaced.

Gao Shujing chuckled and said, "Duolu is losing his baby teeth and is worried about swallowing them, which is why he's a little slow."

Yu Rujia asked in surprise, "How did you know about this? Did he tell you?"

Duolu used to be more attached to Yu Rujia than Gao Shujing. Has this situation changed without us realizing it? Have the boys started having their own secrets?

But there's no need to hide something as normal as losing baby teeth from her, yet she told Gao Shujing instead.

Gao Shujing knew at a glance that his wife had misunderstood: "He didn't say it, but I could tell. He chews every bite of food very finely, and his tongue often touches his teeth. I could guess it at a glance."

Yu Rujia asked in bewilderment, "Losing teeth is normal. Why didn't he tell us? Instead, he kept spouting nonsense about dining etiquette. That's not something he would do."

The most important thing is that this little guy is lying so calmly. A six-year-old kid who doesn't even need to think before he lies. Is this still the same mischievous monkey she knows who is quick to act than to think?

Doro, who was being nagged by them, moved the bucket to its usual place. While Doro went out, in his private space, he furtively touched his loose tooth, feeling extremely distressed.

Every time my older brother loses a tooth, he has to give up a lot of food. If I knew he was losing a tooth, I would be like him and not be able to eat many delicious things. It's so annoying. His teeth were perfectly fine, why did he have to replace them?

Frustrated, Dorje tried pressing his teeth into his gums to try and hold them in place, but to no avail.

"Second Brother, why aren't you coming out yet? What are you doing in there?" Duoxi couldn't help but call out after waiting outside for a long time.

Hearing Duoxi's footsteps approaching, Duolu quickly put down his hand and replied, "Coming."

Never mind, I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can. The longer it's discovered, the more he can eat his usual big meals.

Gao Shujing has some understanding of the child he raised.

Gao Shujing: "Every time Duofu loses a tooth, you make him eat lighter food, sometimes only porridge. Duolu is the best eater in our family. He is used to eating meat in big bites, so he can't stand bland food."

Yu Rujia was speechless: "So he didn't want to change the diet, so he wanted to hide the fact that he was losing his baby teeth?"

"Does this kid only notice that his diet changes when he loses his teeth, but not that his accent changes when he loses his teeth? We'll find out sooner or later. It's pointless for him to keep it a secret now."

Gao Shujing: "He's thinking that he can eat as much as he can."

Duoshou was tasked with finding out about Duolu's unusual behavior, so he kept a close eye on Duolu in his daily life, making him very uncomfortable, as if his little secret had been discovered.

Duoshou glanced at Duolu, whose walking style had become uncontrollable, and became even more curious about what Duolu was hiding from everyone.

Before Duoshou could find out the cause, his teeth started to loosen. He and Duolu were twins, and it was time for them to lose their teeth too.

Having experienced losing teeth, Duoshou wasn't afraid of losing teeth, but he was a little disappointed that he couldn't eat the same food as everyone else after losing his teeth.

Suddenly, Duoshou realized something. As his own brother, he knew how obsessed Duolu was with food.

He lost his teeth, and Dorje must have been going through the same period. It's perfectly normal for him to hide his tooth loss in order to avoid changing his diet.

Having figured things out, Tasuku focused his attention on Taroku's teeth and noticed that Taroku would unconsciously touch them, which further confirmed his guess.

Duo Shou deliberately chose a time when Duo Lu was around to tell Yu Rujia about his tooth replacement. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Duo Lu and saw him move his mouth.

Yu Rujia deliberately said, "Losing teeth is a good thing. It proves that we've grown up. Come see me more often these next few days, and I'll keep an eye on your progress. This is a crucial moment."

"With your aunt keeping an eye on you, you won't accidentally have underdeveloped teeth and become a buck-toothed boy. A perfectly good young man like you would become ugly."

Duoshou quickly picked up the thread: "Auntie, I don't want to be a buck-toothed boy, it's too ugly."
