Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.
T...
There was no point in complaining. Cheng Zhenzhu gave the little one a lot of pats before she finally let him go and put him back on the bed to play.
When he got to the bed, Jiu Tiao burped and began to secretly turn over, showing off his new skills. Liu Tiao took a bath first, and when he came back, he saw Jiu Tiao still in a frog position and hadn't turned over yet, so he reached out to help him a little.
"Hmm~" The baby refused to help. When he had enough strength to suck milk and turned over, he raised his head to Liu Tiao with an expression that said "I am very strong".
He didn't know what Jiujo was saying "oh", but Liujiao inexplicably felt that he was being looked down upon, because this was the expression Jiujo made when he took a shit.
Liu Tiao climbed onto the bed, staring at Jiu Tiao with his eyes wide open. Then, Jiu Tiao grabbed his heels and rubbed his saliva on them.
His six movements were slightly stiff, and he felt that he was not clean anymore...
Seven and eight came over after taking a bath and tried to tease six, but they were soon entangled by them. They had no way to deal with the lively nine.
Jiu Tiao now does four things every day: eat, sleep, poop, and then find someone to play with. He also loves going outside to play. He can't just hold him at home and play with him; he has to be outside to be happy...
In the blink of an eye, another month passed while she ate and slept at Jiutiao. It was the end of September, and October's National Day was approaching. Cheng Zhenzhu received three letters in a row. One was from her mother's family, and her eldest sister had a lot to say in it. The main message was that she wanted to send sea snake wine, that business had come in, and that she had sent a 60-yuan advance payment...
Another letter came from Comrade Dawei, saying he was planning to come over for National Day to visit the children. Then, Old Man Wang also said he'd come over for National Day. It looked like the two groups were about to collide, and Sanshi Island was going to be bustling for a few days...
"Mom, is that grandma and the others?" Yitiao was stunned to see several large packages. There were six in total!
He unpacked the package in a familiar way, then directed his younger brothers. He arranged everything perfectly, telling them where to put the cans, the candies, the bacon. Seven or eight of them, tiny, followed their older brothers, running back and forth, grinning and making grunting noises.
"Well, there's also your Uncle Dawei, and Grandpa Wang and the others are coming over during the National Day to visit Jiu Tiao and you..." Cheng Zhenzhu held the baby in her arms and clapped her hands.
After feeding for a month, the little guy's eyes looked more moisturized and plump. Now when he saw something, he would look down curiously. His pair of almond-shaped eyes shone like black crystals, and he looked particularly bright.
When they heard that Uncle Dawei and Grandpa Wang were coming, they were all very happy. They loved the hustle and bustle, and loved Uncle Dawei and Grandpa Wang. They loved listening to their stories, petting their heads, and even holding them and flying...
Cheng Zhenzhu was also very happy when she saw the children's happy smiles. The children now had more people caring about them, and she hoped that this could make up for the fatherly love they lacked...
"Umm, wow, puff puff..." When Jiu Tiao was sleeping on the bed at night, he was playing with the bottle. When he saw Cheng Zhenzhu approaching, he giggled and kicked the bottle aside. Then he raised his head and started dancing and chattering non-stop.
Seeing that Cheng Zhenzhu didn't seem to react in particular, Jiu Tiao started to toss and turn in bed again. After a month of hard practice day and night, the little guy has now mastered the "skill" of "rolling over" to perfection, and from time to time he would do a couple of rolls to show off to his mother and brothers.
Seeing how hard the little kid was working, Cheng Zhenzhu naturally clapped her hands and praised him out of respect.
"Keke~" Jiu Tiao flipped faster and laughed even more happily when he was praised. He couldn't stop at all. After flipping and stopping for nearly two hours, the little guy finally felt hungry and looked at Cheng Zhenzhu expectantly, licking his lips and biting his fist to hint.
"Jiu Tiao, you drank rice oil last night, and today it's your turn to drink milk powder..." Cheng Zhenzhu picked up the bottle and said with a smile.
Now she is fed with rice oil one day and milk powder the next day. After continuous adaptation training, the little one is no longer so resistant to the bottle. Sometimes she even grabs it to play with it, bites it, and drinks a sip of water.
But he won't drink any more than that, and he will only eat a few mouthfuls of milk powder when he is very hungry. Then when it's time to drink rice oil the next day, he will gulp it down, as if he wants to make up for what he didn't drink the day before.
"Mmm, mmm..." The baby turned his head away as he saw the bottle approaching. After a while, he became even hungrier and opened his mouth wide to drink.
Halfway through drinking, he felt a little sleepy, threw the bottle away, and twisted his body in a very cool manner.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the half-full bottle of milk powder left and felt a little worried. She estimated that she would have to get up at least twice tonight.
It turned out to be more than two times. Just two hours later, her bed was still asleep, and she was smacking her lips to catch the northwest wind...
On September 30th, the three families had holidays and everyone in the family was together.
In order to welcome the incoming Mr. Wang and Comrade Dawei, Cheng Zhenzhu took a string of gourd brothers to the grocery factory to ask for two chickens, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some miscellaneous things. On the way, she paid two dollars to get a stack of stamps from the post office to take home.
I went to the town with my mother and bought a lot of delicious and fun things. We were so happy that we went out to shop right after lunch. In the evening, we brought back a big bucket of conches and a lot of crabs.
"Mom, we picked up so many just by playing around~" Er Tiao was very proud. Their family had six, and other families couldn't pick up more than them.
"Awesome, you guys, that's great!" Cheng Zhenzhu saw a large bucket of conchs and started thinking about how to make them delicious.
"Mom, how about we make the same dish we made last time? It's spicy and delicious!" The foodie Liu Tiao ran to his mother to offer some advice. Last year, he was a little afraid of spicy food and didn't eat as much as his brother, but this year, he's become more tolerant of spicy food and is ready to give it another try.
"The snail meat would be delicious if fried with leeks." Yi Tiao thought.
"Fried snail meat is delicious. Mom, can I pick the snail meat?" Er Tiao wanted to eat fried ones.
"Mom, it's so delicious~" San Tiao wanted to eat the one that Liu Tiao mentioned, so he whispered in his mother's ear.
Qi Tiao and Ba Tiao also started working hard for food. Qi Tiao wanted to eat fried leeks, and Ba Tiao and his brother Liu Tiao once again stood on the same side.
In the end, spicy stir-fried small conch was chosen for tonight's dinner by a margin of three votes. Cheng Zhenzhu directed the others to clean and trim the conch tips. Once the preliminary work was complete, he handed Jiu Tiao to his brothers, who then prepared the seasoning and began stir-frying the conch.
Afraid that it wouldn’t be enough, Cheng Zhenzhu made a whole pot of it, so she also prepared a lot of seasonings. After stir-frying it in the pan for a few times, the aroma immediately spread out.
"Oh~" Kujo stretched out his hand, full of curiosity about the big pot that was emitting white fragrance.
Yitiao, who was sitting nearby, couldn't wait any longer and stood by the pot with Jiutiao in his arms to watch. When the conch was finished, Jiutiao's saliva soaked a large area of his big brother's clothes...
"Mom, let Liu Tiao help you taste it and see if it's spicy." Liu Tiao saw the conchs on the plate and took a pair of chopsticks, eager to try.
