“You’re right, I’ll call your brother in a bit,” Chu Wanfang said again.

"Mom, Mom, I want some water?" Xiao Nian came in from outside. After eating too much sweet potato, he felt a little choked.

Shen Qiaoyue put down the sweet potato and went to pour water for the child.

"Da Nian, think about it, do you want some water?" I'll also ask them if they want some water.

Hearing his mother's voice, Danian replied, "I want to drink?"

He turned and went into the living room. Seeing this, he also said, "Yes, yes."

Seeing Xiangxiang following behind, Da Nian turned back to support her and said, "Slow down, no one is going to take it from you."

Thinking about it, I'm not very steady on my feet, but when I get excited, I speak fluently for a moment.

"Mom, hurry up and boil some water. Aunt and Lu Chen will definitely need to take a bath when they come back. Da Nian and Xiao Nian are all covered in black soot. I need to give them a bath first." Shen Qiaoyue couldn't bear to look at the three siblings, who were usually quite clean, now looking like this.

"Look at you, why are you eating sweet potatoes? Dinner is coming soon!" Shen Qiaoyue complained as she fed the three of them water.

Xiangxiang's mouth is the blackest.

"Auntie, do you want to sleep?" Xiangxiang still had some sweet potato bits on her teeth, her hands were covered in black ash, and she touched her head, her hair was covered in black charcoal ash.

Shen Qiaoyue said, "You're sleepy? Auntie will give you a bath first, then you can eat before you sleep. There's meat today."

"Mmm!" Hearing Rou Rou's voice, Xiang Xiang nodded with wide eyes. Just as she was about to rub her eyes, Shen Qiaoyue grabbed her hand and said, "You can't rub your eyes, or it'll be very uncomfortable if sand gets in."

He nodded, but didn't say anything.

Shen Qiaoyue brought over a basin of hot water and first helped the two of them wash their faces.

After washing my face, I found some clothes and took the hot water to the washroom.

"Think about it, Xiao Nian, come and take a bath quickly." Shen Qiaoyue bathed the two girls together.

Da Nian also wanted to come and bathe, but Shen Qiaoyue said to him, "Da Nian, you are a boy, you can't bathe with your sisters. You have to wait until your sisters have bathed before Mommy bathes you."

"Okay." Seeing that his mother said so, Danian obediently turned and left.

They were playing in the yard.

After Shen Qiaoyue finished bathing her two younger sisters, Lu Chen and Li Xiaoxiao returned.

"You're back!" Lu Chen said as he returned after washing the pigsty. "Auntie, go back and take a shower first, then come over in a bit."

"Then go take a shower first, dinner will be ready soon. While you're at it, give Da Nian a shower too, look how dark he is." Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu Chen as she dressed the two girls.

Lu Chen looked at Da Nian's appearance; his cheeks and mouth were covered in black soot, and Da Nian was still holding the unfinished sweet potato and looking at his father.

Their eyes met, and Lu Chen looked at Da Nian's adorable appearance. If it weren't for the fact that he was covered in a mess, he really wanted to go over and help him clean up.

"How could you make such a mess of eating a sweet potato?" Lu Chen couldn't help but smile, his expression revealing a hint of disgust.

Seeing his father smile, Da Nian smiled too, and held out the sweet potato he hadn't finished eating to his father, asking, "Dad, do you want some?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not eating. Have you finished eating? Hurry up, Dad is going to give you a bath later."

"Okay, I'll finish eating soon, hurry up, Dad." Da Nian sped up his eating of sweet potatoes when he heard that his father was going to give him a bath.

Seeing this, Lu Chen worried that Da Nian might choke, and reminded him, "You should eat slowly. Dad will give you a bath after you finish eating. Don't choke."

After hearing his father's reminder, Da Nian choked and hiccuped. He looked at his father with his lips tightly closed and guiltily covered his mouth with his hand.

Those big, bright eyes blinked several times. Seeing Da Nian's expression, Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hearing Da Nian hiccup, Shen Qiaoyue poured him some more water, handed it to him to drink, and gently patted his back.

"Don't rush, Daddy needs to take a shower first, and then he'll shower our big baby. Don't rush," Shen Qiaoyue gently coaxed Da Nian.

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Danian finished drinking his water and smiled sheepishly at his mother.

Looking at the black ash on Da Nian's cheeks and the ash on his teeth, he was so cute, I wanted to laugh.

"Da Nian, go and call your aunt over for dinner." Shen Qiaoyue thought that Da Nian hadn't taken a bath yet, and she needed to feed Xiang Xiang dinner. Xiang Xiang was already very sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.

When I looked back at Xiangxiang, I saw that she had already fallen asleep on the bed.

"Alright, Mom will go by herself. After you finish this sweet potato, just wait and don't touch your sister. Even if Xiangxiang falls asleep, you can't disturb her, understand?" Shen Qiaoyue was about to leave, so she told Danian not to move.

Da Nian nodded as he ate a sweet potato.

Da Nian eats even slower than his sisters. Sometimes, Shen Qiaoyue even wonders if Da Nian and Xiao Nian were born the wrong gender.

The older one gets, the more eccentric one's temperament becomes during the "big year" (a traditional Chinese festival), while the older one gets during the "small year" (another traditional Chinese festival), the more flamboyant and daring one's temperament becomes.

After Shen Qiaoyue finished speaking, Danian obediently sat on the stool and didn't move.

Watching her father walk past her into the bathroom to take a shower, she reminded him, "Dad, hurry up, the big baby needs to take a shower too."

"Okay, Daddy, hurry up, I'll be right there. Don't move around." Lu Chen replied to Da Nian.

Hearing his father's response, Danian wrote even more letters.

Xiao Nian sat next to her older brother and, seeing how slowly he ate, complained, "Brother, you eat like a little bird!"

"You're the one who's like a little bird, your whole family is."

Da Nian said defiantly.

Whether this statement is refuted or not makes no difference.
