"Walk in front of mother, don't fall behind." Cheng Zhenzhu was carrying two large bags, her eyes fixed on the four cute little headless ones in front of her.

"Okay~" The three little hands walking at the end waved back, signaling their mother to catch up with the team.

Cheng Zhenzhu followed closely behind, and thus a shaky team entered the Cheng family the day before the New Year.

Zhao Fangrui saw her daughter and grandchildren, all chatting and asking about their well-being. Over there, the little ones, having already called out to everyone, followed Little Tiger into the room to play. They were jumping around and looking incredibly happy.

When Cheng Zhenbao saw his little nephews were happy, he quickly took the money and tickets and went to buy food and vegetables.

This year, her eldest sister and second sister's families are all at home for the New Year. With seven little kids and three adults, even if their appetites are small, they still have to prepare more food.

After a long walk, Cheng Zhenbao bought 100 kilograms of grain, and dragged back several large bags of yam, sweet potatoes and potatoes from the non-staple food factory, each weighing 50 kilograms. He also got some pig bones, pig trotters and other things, which were all specifically requested by his father.

Besides that, he also took some trouble to get back two things his mother had specifically requested: a fat chicken and a large goose. He kept them in a cage for the New Year's meal...

"Mom, I'm hungry~" Liu Tiao is in the period of urgent growth, and there is a fixed snack time at home, so when he goes out, his stomach will "gurgle" and imitate the sound of hunger before mealtime.

So, on the afternoon of the second day in Hai City, after getting familiar with the environment, Liu Tiao started.

"My dear grandson, are you hungry? Grandpa will make you something delicious..." After understanding the situation, Cheng Fugui also made time for a snack. If he had time, he would fry something for his grandson and granddaughter. If not, he would ask Zhao Fangrui to make other arrangements.

A few days passed like this, and Zhao Fangrui, looking at the nearly empty jar of malted milk before New Year's Eve, felt both happy and worried. Having food is a blessing, but even if the baby is pregnant, no matter how much food there is, it won't last.

So Zhao Fangrui would roast some sweet potatoes and potatoes every day to feed the children.

I don’t feel much about sweet potatoes and potatoes, but as there are many of us, we all think they are delicious, so we look forward to roasting sweet potatoes every day.

Liu Tiao also clapped his hands every day and waited, not wanting his mother to feed him with a spoon, but to learn from his brothers to eat by himself. Every time he ate like a little cat, he would rush to his mother to wipe it clean.

The little ones all love cleanliness and have the good habit of protecting their faces and hands, which makes Cheng Zhenzhu feel quite relieved.

Hai City is dry and cold, so Cheng Zhenzhu slathers a thick layer of vanishing cream on the hands and faces of her little ones every day. The day before yesterday, she accidentally forgot, and Liu Tiao's little mouth kept making "whoosh~whoosh" noises to remind her. San Tiao and Er Tiao leaned over and muttered, "Apply some fragrant cream," which made Cheng Zhenzhu want to tease them a bit...

"No, no~" Liu Tiao applied the perfume and ran away.

"San Tiao wants it~" San Tiao looked at his mother, stretched out his two short little hands wrapped in a small cotton coat, and asked his mother to hold them so that it would be easier to move.

"Mmmmm~" Cheng Zhenzhu pinched the little guy's round face and gave him a big kiss.

Liu Tiao was happy and came over with a sweet face when he saw it.

After Cheng Zhenzhu kissed her, she took the opportunity to grab her in her arms and rubbed her...

The children wore thick and beautiful cotton-padded jackets every day, and occasionally replaced them with old clothes with two patches, which were also patched with beautiful animal patterns. Coupled with their clean and rosy little hands and faces, they made people happy when they saw them.

Cheng Fugui and Zhao Fangrui, the two grandparents, love the baby so much that they often take him into their arms and move him around.

However, Liu Tiao was wearing a small cotton jacket and was very agile, so it was difficult to catch him.

The cute and unhurried San Tiao was always being scooped up into one embrace or another. Once in his mother's arms, he'd yawn lazily, roll over, and bury his face in her arms, ready for sleep...

"What's wrong with you, girl? Look at how clean your sisters, brothers, and younger brothers are. Why don't you know how to be more clean?"

On New Year's Eve, Cheng Zhenyu came over and looked at the dirty Sanni, then looked at his clean nephews, feeling very depressed.

But now she admires her second sister very much. If it weren't for her second sister's idea, it would not be so easy for her to get the house back.

Now Zhao Jiawang's parents have moved in with his youngest son, and one fart from them can stink up the whole house. Now that their family lives in two new houses, she doesn't have to see those annoying people every day. She feels so good.

So, when it comes to raising children, she also wants to ask her second sister for advice. How come the boy raised by her second sister is even more tidy than the little girl?

Sanni was picked up and scolded. She was a little unconvinced and soon took advantage of the opportunity to run away.

"Rewards and punishments are clearly defined." Cheng Zhenzhu gave her elder sister these four words, stuffed six small dough balls into the little boy's open hands, and sent him away to play.

Liu Tiao is smarter now. He knows that the dough cannot be eaten and needs to be cooked before it can be eaten, so he just plays with it and sticks some of it on his brothers...

"Is it that simple?" Cheng Zhenyu didn't quite believe it.

"That's it." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded affirmatively, and then gave San Tiao, who was sitting next to him with his hands washed, a small piece of dough for him to play with.

Sanni wanted some too. Cheng Zhenyu looked at her little girl's black hands and slapped them away. Then she remembered what her eldest sister said about "clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments," and said to Sanni, "Wash your hands first. I'll give you some after you've washed them."

Sanni hesitated for a moment and actually ran to wash her hands.

Was it really that simple? Cheng Zhenyu suddenly realized something. She gave Sanni some dough after she washed her hands and continued making dumplings. With so many people in the house, she had to make at least one more pot.

Sanni got the dough and immediately showed it off to Liu Tiao. She called this little dough kid and refused to let her play with it, and now she has more dough than him!

"Hmph~" Liu Tiao shook his head and ignored Sanni, throwing himself on the brothers with a smile...

After making dumplings, it was already afternoon and time to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

New Year's Eve dinner, of course, must be the best. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Fugui and Cheng Zhenbao slaughtered a chicken and goose, offered sacrifices to their ancestors, and then prepared to cook. Cheng Fugui cooked dinner that day, while Cheng Zhenzhu and the others assisted...

The chicken was very fat, and the stewed potatoes filled two pots. Another big dish was a large goose stewed in an iron pot. There were also two fish, which were said to bring surplus every year. The rest were radishes, tofu, and other dishes.

But this was already quite sumptuous, especially the goose stewed in an iron pot. The aroma was so fragrant that several little kids crowded at the kitchen door and were reluctant to leave.

Cheng Zhenbao was already drooling at the smell, not to mention the little kids. Sanni wolfed down her food as soon as it arrived at the table, and Cheng Zhenyu immediately set the rules for her. Clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. It must be clearly stated what is rewarded and what is punished!

The others didn't bother to care, all eating with eager appetites. A few of them grabbed the chicken and ate with relish. Six of them wiggled their legs, their mouths moist with anticipation for the food, and even shook their heads at Sanni once the meat was in their mouths.
