Once the children have recovered, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.
The old lady made zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and eight-treasure duck for them, saying it was to help them nourish themselves.
The two children were unwell, and the adults suffered as well; Ruan Yunxi even lost weight.
Gu Weizhou also caught some delicious fish for Ruan Yunxi, as well as sea cucumbers and abalone, and cooked a big pot of seafood for her to eat.
Little Softie can eat shrimp now, all of which are peeled by her dad.
The younger one wanted one too, so he held his bowl and waited in line. His mother and older brother were in front of him, and then it was his turn.
After the meal, Ruan Yunxi and the others were full, but Gu Weizhou didn't get a single bite.
The nanny took the children out to play after they had eaten their fill, while Ruan Yunxi accompanied Gu Weizhou, saying, "No rush, it's all yours, even the bowls are yours."
Gu Weizhou curled the corners of his lips: "Why don't you go out and play with the kids?"
"I want to spend some time with you!" Gu Weizhou couldn't resist Ruan Yunxi's sweet words: "Don't we see each other every day?"
"I really wanted some today," Ruan Yunxi said with a smile. "The seafood you caught was delicious!"
"I'll catch you again next time." Gu Weizhou glanced outside and saw that the children were playing with other kids in the open space near the family compound and wouldn't be back for a while. Gu Weizhou narrowed his eyes, stopped eating, and carried his wife back to their room!
They even threw Amber, who had eaten her fill of fish and shrimp and was licking her fur on the dressing table, out of the room. As soon as the door was closed, the young couple hurried to get things done so that the children wouldn't come back and miss this good opportunity.
When the nanny returned with the three children, Ruan Yunxi was lying limply on the recliner. Gu Weizhou quickly washed the sheets, did the laundry, and cleaned the house, making it spotless.
Little Gummy saw her diligent father and ran over with a smile: "Daddy, look, Grandma caught fireflies for me!"
Gu Weizhou smiled as he held the little gummy bears: "They're cute. Play with them for a while and then let them go, so they don't get killed."
"Hmm!" After showing off the fireflies to her father, she immediately went to show them off to her mother.
Ruan Yunxi felt lazy and didn't want to do anything but sleep.
When her daughter came to show off the fireflies, she could only muster her energy to deal with it.
The old woman glanced at the drying sheets, saw through their intentions but said nothing, washed the three children's hands and faces, washed their feet, wiped them down, and coaxed them to go back to sleep so as not to disturb their mother's rest.
The children took a bath before going out to play, and came back covered in sweat. They couldn't sleep without wiping themselves off.
Soon it was Cherry's birthday, and Sister-in-law Sheng invited Ruan Yunxi and her family to dinner. Sister-in-law Sheng made stewed chicken and mushrooms, cold noodles, and rice with rice, all of which Ruan Yunxi and her family didn't know how to make, so she could take this opportunity to cook for them.
Ruan Yunxi made a birthday cake for Xiao Yingtao.
We have rice, flour, oil, and milk at home.
After the cake was made, it was decorated with cherries.
Little Gummy loves it and keeps asking herself when her birthday is; she also wants her own birthday cake.
Ruan Yunxi used the leftover ingredients to make her a small cake.
Little Gummy received a small cake and happily hugged her affectionately.
Ruan Yunxi delivered the finished cake to Xiao Yingtao, who was overjoyed: "Auntie, you're so amazing! The cake is so beautiful, I love it! When I grow up, I'll make cakes for you too. Auntie, will you teach me how to make cakes?"
“Okay!” Ruan Yunxi agreed with a smile.
Little Gummy asked, "Mommy, can I learn?"
"Sure!" Ruan Yunxi promised, "I'll teach you two when the time comes."
The eldest child, not to be outdone, exclaimed, "Mom, where are my brother and me?!"
Ruan Yunxi said with a smile, "You can learn if you want."
The youngest and second youngest nodded happily, they thought.
In late June, it was Mrs. Gu's birthday.
After discussing it with Gu Weizhou, Ruan Yunxi decided to take the nanny and the three children back to Beijing to celebrate Gu's mother's birthday and visit Gu Huahua's daughter, whom they hadn't been able to attend for her baby's one-month celebration.
