"Okay, Liu Tiao, let's not bother your brothers anymore. Mom will take you to see if the food is ready." Cheng Zhenzhu stood up holding the troublesome Liu Tiao.
"Mom, what delicious food are you going to make today?" Peng Ertiao raised his round little face, his eyes twinkling.
"Today, keep it a secret." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled mysteriously, "You guys build the shed first. When it's almost done, we can eat..."
Cheng Zhenzhu held Liu Tiao and took out the stewed mutton and radish. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of mutton.
Now Liu Tiao, who was lying in Cheng Zhenzhu's arms, was very excited. He shook his little hands and drooled, wetting a large area of the newly changed bib.
At the kitchen door, the first, second, and third cubs didn't even bother to set up a shelter. They just came over following the smell and stood at the door, their heads touching each other, their six eyes staring wide.
Cheng Zhenzhu turned around and saw three round little heads. She waved at them. "Come over and help your mother taste it?"
Peng Yitiao straightened up and ran to his mother.
The second one followed in, and the third one was at the end.
Cheng Zhenzhu gave each of the three little radish strips a piece of stewed mutton.
"It smells so good!" Peng Ertiao smacked his lips.
Peng Yitiao's eyes were bright and black, and he gave his mother two thumbs up.
"So yummy~" Peng San Tiao took two mouthfuls and wanted to take it out to savor it slowly, but then he remembered that he hadn't washed his hands yet, so he ran to the water tank to find a ladle...
Cheng Zhenzhu was very satisfied with the support of the three little kids. She put the vermicelli in the pot, cooked it, and put it in a large iron basin with the mutton and radish.
Two pounds of mutton, a white radish, fried tofu, several kinds of meatballs, and vermicelli filled the large basin, enough for two meals. Cheng Zhenzhu handed six pieces of mutton to one and carried the large iron basin to the table.
The remaining two or three were not idle either. They wiped their hands and quickly moved the chairs to the cupboard to get bowls and chopsticks.
"Brother, you hold the chopsticks and I'll hold the bowl." Peng Ertiao grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed them to his brother, then counted out four bowls.
Peng Sandiao held the chopsticks in both hands, blinked his eyes, slowly pulled out one, stepped on a small stool, and put it back into the chopstick box.
The second brother has one more.
Peng Yitiao held Liu Tiao, closed the cupboard door, and followed his two younger brothers.
The six in his arms were already anxious...
"Eat!" Cheng Zhenzhu went to the kitchen and brought back a bowl of stir-fried spinach and a bowl of scrambled eggs with green onions. These were the dishes she was going to give Yi Tiao to take with her lunch tomorrow.
A large pot of fragrant stewed lamb, a dish of fresh green spinach, and a bowl of scrambled eggs with tender yellow and green chives looks particularly rich.
The three little kids didn't blink, each swallowing their saliva. As soon as their mother gave the order, they immediately picked up their chopsticks.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the three little kids with big appetites and picked up a piece of meat. Then, she put it into her mouth. "Mm, not bad! It smells good!"
"Awoo~" Liu Tiao, who had been staring at the meat on his mother's chopsticks, stretched out his short little claws and let out a childish roar.
"Mom, it smells so good~" Peng Ertiao ate another piece and said happily.
The three brothers devoured large chunks of mutton with great appetites. They took bites of meatballs and fried tofu, burying their heads in their bowls without even wanting to lift them up.
Cheng Zhenzhu tasted a chopstick of meat and fed Liu Tiao some lean meat porridge. Seeing the little guy pouting, sulking, and with tears in his eyes, he suddenly felt like laughing. "Liu Tiao, you can't blame me for not giving you food. It's mainly because you're too young to handle the food. When you grow up, I'll make you big chunks of braised pork, okay?"
"Hmph~" Liu Tiao closed his eyes and squeezed out tears.
"Red braised pork!" Peng Yitiao raised his head and shouted, "Mom, I want to eat it."
"I want it too!" Peng Ertiao was chewing a large piece of mutton. When he heard his mother's words, he quickly looked up and nodded vigorously.
Big chunks, it sounds delicious!
"Rou Rou, I want to eat~" Peng Sandiao also echoed, with a few drops of soup hanging on the corner of his little mouth.
"Okay. Wait until the New Year, and I'll make you some braised pork." My own children, I'll just spoil them. As for Liu Tiao, who doesn't want to drink porridge, I'll leave him alone for now...
"Okay!" The three brothers grinned and continued to bury their heads in the dried meat. Of course, they also liked the radish soaked in mutton broth, fried tofu, meatballs, and vermicelli. They had only eaten a few grains of rice, but they had almost finished the vermicelli...
"Oh oh~" Liu Tiao, who had been sulking for a while, saw that his mother ignored him, so he pulled his mother and opened his little mouth.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhenzhu stopped ignoring the little guy and fed him a spoonful of lean meat porridge. "This tastes good, right? Mommy added a few grains of salt."
The six little ones smacked their lips, their eyes sparkling with joy and curiosity. Finally, they gulped down the entire bowl of lean meat porridge.
"Do you like the taste so much?" After feeding the baby, Cheng Zhenzhu put the baby on the sofa and continued to enjoy her dinner.
This still doesn't work this time; it's not really hot pot. Next time, I'll have to get some charcoal and cook while I add the other ingredients... The kids all had good appetites, though. They didn't eat a lot of rice, but they devoured the meat and radish with relish. They almost finished a whole white radish...
After eating, Cheng Zhenzhu washed the dishes with the help of several children.
"Okay, sleep well and don't hit the quilt." Seeing that Tiao Tiao had finished soaking their feet, Cheng Zhenzhu stuffed them into the quilt.
Today's lamb and radish stew warms my body and stomach, so I can have a good sleep now...
“Ohhh~ Ohhh~”
More than half an hour passed, and the spirit six pieces were still tossing and turning in Cheng Zhenzhu's arms.
"Liu Tiao, your three brothers are all asleep, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Liu Tiao had slept for such a long time in the afternoon, and after a heavy meal, he couldn't fall asleep at all. Seeing Cheng Zhenzhu talking to him, he kicked his feet and stretched out his hands to make some "babbling" gestures.
Cheng Zhenzhu didn't understand, so she taught Xiao Liutiao to call her "mother" and "brother".
Six black eyeballs stared at his mother, then he let out an "ah" and drooled.
Forget it, let's take it slow with this drooling kid. Before going to bed, Cheng Zhenzhu helped Xiao Liutiao pee again, then she felt at ease to carry him to bed and started to do today's task.
