Chapter 339: Peeling Chestnuts
"Sister Wu is right. Although they know that you favor the young master, you still have to treat them equally on the surface."
"Yes, how could I not know this? Whenever I send something to my oldest son, the other sons will also get a share. I think I am a very fair mother-in-law, and they have nothing to complain about."
"We still believe in this, Miss. Miss is not that kind of confused person."
"Miss, there are so many chestnuts and pine nuts in the dish, especially the pine nuts. I don't think you can finish them all. Why don't you give some away? I wonder if your relatives have been found?"
"Miss, please don't blame me for speaking harshly. After so many years, if I wanted to find him, I would have found him long ago. Now, for you, no news is good news."
"Yes, actually I have given up hope of finding my relatives. I guess they are either no longer in the inland and have fled abroad, or they are hiding in the countryside like us. As long as there is hope, we can always meet."
Zhao's mother's family was considered to be well off because of their younger son, but after they got married, they went their separate ways. The ancestral home had long been uninhabited and had become a government office.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu died later and saved her dowry, otherwise how could she keep her houses? They would have been divided up by others long ago.
We chatted for the whole morning and peeled a sack full of chestnuts. Even the old man next door was peeling chestnuts.
There was a kang in the room, which was particularly warm. We talked and laughed, and time passed quickly until it was almost time for lunch. Then we went to the kitchen and talked while making lunch.
When Tang Yue woke up, she was woken up by her mother-in-law. Looking at her mother-in-law sitting on the kang, she quickly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. I just wanted to wake you up to eat. Are there a few babies here? They are sleeping so soundly that they won't wake up for a while. Why don't you get up and eat first? When they wake up, you can see what to feed them."
"Okay, Mom, I'll get up right away."
Tang Yue quickly put on her cotton coat and cotton shoes, went to the kitchen to wash her face, felt refreshed, and returned to the living room to eat.
"Mom, what are you doing this morning? It's snowing and you can't go out. Will it be boring?"
"What's so boring about this? Everyone was peeling chestnuts this morning. There are so many and I don't know when I can finish peeling them. I can stay at home in the winter without worrying about having nothing to do."
"That would be so tiring. If I had known I would bring back so many and make you so tired, I would not have brought so many." Tang Yue really didn't pay attention at first. After all, if she used her mental power to peel the shells in space, her speed would be incredibly fast.
Mother Zhao said indifferently, "What's so tiring about this? If I don't do something at home, my child will feel that time is passing very slowly. I still have to do some work to kill time. Besides, it would be great if I could chat with your Aunt Li and Aunt Wu. Chatting doesn't interfere with the work at hand."
"Mom, if you and the aunts feel tired, you don't have to do it. After all, our family will not lack food."
"It's okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Tang Yue saw that her mother-in-law had changed the subject and didn't say anything else. After all, it was a very cold day and the heat from the food would soon disappear.
After that, no one spoke. Everyone focused on eating. After the meal, they cleaned up the table. My parents-in-law went to the small house over there to peel chestnuts. Fortunately, it was warm inside because the kang was heated and it wasn't cold at all.
Tang Yue returned to the house and saw that the kids were still sleeping. She used her spiritual power to enter the space, took some fruits from the warehouse and placed them in the kang cabinet, ready to give them to Dabao and the others when they woke up.
It is also because the kang is too dry due to heating every day, which makes them prone to getting angry. Eating more fruits is good for them.
As for the fruit, I can only continue to fool people.
Thinking that there is nothing to do in winter, I might as well make a few more sets of clothes for Dabao and the others.
They are getting older and older, and they need clothes a lot. Fortunately, the clothes they can't wear won't be wasted. Wubao, Liubao, and Xiaobao can each pick up clothes that their brothers can't wear and wear them.
Take cotton and cloth from the warehouse, and other tools needed to make clothes can be taken directly from the cabinet.
While I was carefully cutting the cloth, I heard a little baby whimpering. It looked like it was about to wake up, so I quickly put the scissors and cloth in the kang cabinet to avoid accidentally hurting the babies.
I picked up the little ones and helped them pee, then went to the kitchen to pour them some milk. They must be very hungry after sleeping for so long.
I just came back with the bottle and saw that Dabao and the others were awake too. I put the pacifiers in Wubao and the others' mouths, and then quickly put cotton clothes on Dabao and the others to prevent them from getting frozen.
Dress the quadruplets and look at the little ones. They have all finished eating. There is goat milk in the bottle. Take the bottle away so that they don't have to suck it all the time, which will break their sucking habit.
"Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, Jiaobao, come with me and have dinner. You are the only ones left who haven't eaten yet."
"Mom, can I not eat if I don't want to?"
"Why don't you want to eat? If you don't eat, you won't grow up. You will always be this short. Aren't you afraid?"
Dabao and the others thought about it and realized that if they stayed this tall, they would never grow taller. They shuddered and felt it was too terrifying just to think about it.
"Mom, we'll be good and go eat right away."
"Yes, let's go eat right away. We are very hungry. We love eating the most."
Tang Yue thinks that children are more fun now. When they grow up a little, they will not be fun at all.
"Good boy, you have to eat your fill. This way you won't be so short forever. When you grow up, you will be tall, handsome, pretty and cute! Come on, mom will take you to the living room for dinner."
She brought them to the living room and asked them to sit on stools. Tang Yue went to the kitchen and brought the food they could eat to the living room. She then gave each of them half a bowl of rice and poured a layer of egg custard on the rice, which made it taste even better when mixed with rice.
"Hurry up and eat. After this meal, have a bowl of soup. It's delicious. If you behave yourself, mom will give you some fruits. There are some fruits you haven't eaten before. You will definitely like them."
"Mom, is it true? Is it true that we haven't eaten yet? Please, we will finish the meal and there will be no leftovers."
After saying that, the quadruplets directly picked up the spoons and ate the rice. They were a little slow before, but now they ate much faster. It seems that there is something delicious ahead, which makes them more motivated.
