Chapter 126 Have a sweet dream
The only difference is that one is an omelette with egg liquid added, while the other is a meat patty mixed with some minced meat.
For the two older children, this food combination is both delicious and filling, but for Xiao Shitou, who is still an infant, he can only eat porridge as his staple food for now.
However, Zhao Chunhua thoughtfully mixed a little egg yolk into Xiao Shitou's porridge, which not only made the porridge more nutritious and delicious, but also promoted the healthy growth of the baby.
Every time it was mealtime, when he saw Zhao Chunhua slowly walking towards him with a bowl in hand, Xiao Shitou's eyes would follow closely...
To be precise, it was that full bowl of fragrant porridge, as if his infinite joy was hidden therein.
Compared with the little one who needs help from adults, Tangyuan, who has grown up a lot, has a certain degree of self-care ability. He has no problem using tableware and can complete the eating process by himself. On the other hand, Tiaotiao, although holding a spoon in his hand, does not eat very seriously.
In view of this situation, Zhao Chunhua decided not to let him continue to disrupt the table manners for the time being, but instead let him enjoy the freshly baked cake in front of him first.
Her plan was to make sure the youngest one was full before dealing with the naughty boy.
But what she never expected was that Tiao Tiao would not consider her arrangements at all.
Seeing his brothers drinking porridge quietly, curiosity drove him to clamor for a bite; but when his kind sister Tangyuan tried to feed him with a spoon, the naughty boy stubbornly refused to open his mouth to accept this kindness; then his eyes were attracted by Xiao Shitou who was eating with relish next to him, but when the other party raised the spoon of porridge full of fragrance to him, he immediately closed his lips and refused to cooperate.
In short, when it comes to eating, Tiaotiao always likes to join in the fun.
This was the first time that Zhao Chunhua encountered such a troublesome situation. It made her realize that taking care of several children alone was not an easy task. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had taken the initiative to move out of her home and live independently. If she were still in the original living environment, she would probably have been driven crazy by now.
Shortly after the meal, in order to allow the children to digest the food they had just consumed, Zhao Chunhua asked the two older siblings to stay in the room to rest for a while before helping them change their shoes and letting them go out to the yard to move freely.
At the same time, since his body has not yet fully matured, it has become Xiao Shitou's unshakable habit to fall asleep soon after lunch.
Just then, bursts of clear and loud dog barking suddenly came from outside the house.
Zhao Chunhua noticed that something seemed to be wrong and was worried that the puppy might cause trouble, so she quickly ran out of the house to check the situation.
The scene that appeared before my eyes was a pitch-black furry little creature being held tightly in the arms of the lively and active Tiao Tiao, struggling to get free.
Although on the surface they often call these little animals "darling grandchildren", deep down in their hearts everyone knows very well that the real "boss" is actually someone else.
When he saw Zhao Chunhua, Bubai's voice changed from cheerful to low, and seemed to carry a bit of grievance and pleading, which made people feel a trace of pity.
Its little head was pressed tightly against her legs, looking very pitiful.
"The puppy's name is Bubai," she said softly, her tone full of warmth, "You can play with it, but remember, you must treat it well."
After saying that, Zhao Chunhua carefully rescued the puppy from the hands of Xiao Tiaotiao, who was flapping his arms and legs and was overly excited.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel helpless and a little funny.
Looking back on the past days, this lively and active puppy actually likes lively environments very much.
I remember that there was a time when Xiao Shitou often teased Bubai. After that, Bubai became very sensitive and was unwilling to get close to Xiao Shitou easily.
But for Tangyuan and Tiaotiao, who had never met each other before, it still ran to meet them bravely with curiosity, trying to find new friends.
It really makes one sigh.
Zhao Chunhua gently placed Bubai on the ground, and the puppy immediately ran to the backyard and hid deep in the grass as if it was afraid of being caught.
At this time, the curious baby next to her, Tiaotiao, held Zhao Chunhua's hand tightly, and couldn't wait to go and explore.
"Hey, don't go there."
She stopped you softly, explaining that there were dangerous places over there, and judging from your unsteady steps, there was indeed a certain risk in walking in such an environment.
After hearing the adults' advice, the clever little Tiaotiao did not continue to insist on his own
Soon his attention was attracted by other interesting things, and he ran around and played with his good friend Tangyuan.
Despite the hot weather, these two energetic children were not affected at all in their activities under such glaring sun. Zhao Chunhua was surprised and admired them.
But the human body is not made of iron after all. As time passed, the originally energetic little Tiao Tiao could not withstand the scorching sun and became exhausted, slowly losing his vitality.
Finally, he fell listlessly into Zhao Chunhua's arms for support, and soon he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In comparison, Tangyuan could still hold on a little, but when he saw that his companions had already fallen asleep, he stopped tossing and turning.
He took off his shoes and climbed over the high threshold with difficulty, "I want to sleep too!"
Although adults usually affectionately called the little boy "Tangyuan", when he first started learning to speak he always introduced himself as "Yuanyuan" because his pronunciation was not clear.
Looking at the well-behaved and obedient children in front of her, Zhao Chunhua felt particularly warm and happy in her heart.
So he didn't rush to help, but just quietly watched him cross the obstacle until he lay down next to Tiaotiao.
I saw that the little hand was tightly holding a colorful soft toy, ready to welcome a sweet dream.
After making sure that the children were sleeping soundly, Zhao Chunhua carefully tidied up their messy clothes, and found a piece of cloth with carefully locked edges and gently placed it on their abdomens to ensure that the cold wind would not blow in even during their nap.
No matter where she was, she always kept this important principle in mind - that is to make sure her body was well kept warm when resting.
At this moment, she was wearing a bamboo hat on her head and holding a wooden rake in her hand, carefully turning over and drying the golden grains.
The weather is very good today, with the bright sunshine shining on the fields. By the evening, we should be able to pack all the dried millet into bags, so that we can continue to dry the remaining rice tomorrow.
