It was a letter from the educated youth Xiao Gu. Judging from the vigorous and powerful handwriting, it should have been written by Comrade Lu Jiamu.
"Mom, is this a letter from Sister Xixi and Uncle Jiamu?" Peng Yitiao asked.
Although Sister Xixi married Uncle Jiamu, he was still used to calling them by their own names, so he never changed his way of addressing them.
"Yes." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and folded the letter. "It's good news. Your sister Xixi gave birth to two little brothers. They are twins."
Before, little Gu Zhiqing had said in a letter that her belly seemed much bigger than that of an average pregnant woman, and she thought of the twin brothers named Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi in the novel.
It seems the same. Although Xiao Gu Zhiqing got married earlier and became pregnant earlier, the twins and Xiao Gu Zhiqing were destined to be together long ago...
"Twins? What's that?" Peng Ertiao was puzzled. He had never heard of such a thing.
"I know!" Peng Yitiao raised his hand enthusiastically, "They just look the same."
There's a pair of twins in their class, and he can't tell them apart. Neither can the teacher. I wonder if their parents can tell them apart...
"Like?" Liu Tiao looked up at the rooftop, a little confused. Then he shook his head and gave up thinking about it.
He is hungry.
"Gugu~"
Cheng Zhenzhu watched Liu Tiao, who was now imitating the growling of his stomach, tidy up the snakeskin bag, take out steamed cakes for the children, and open a can of food to fill their stomachs. "Wash your hands and eat. Let's boil some water for a bath first, then have dinner."
Liu Tiao nodded, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. Then he was picked up by his two elder brothers.
"One, two, make it six. Don't let him eat too quickly, just feed him a little bit from the can. Drinking too much sugar water can easily cause a sore throat." Cheng Zhenzhu tore open the cake packaging and divided the can into two bowls.
"Okay." Peng Yitiao and Peng Ertiao nodded, and sat on Liutiao's left and right, watching him closely.
Liu Tiao hunched his thin little shoulders, took a bite of half a steamed cake, and then took another small bite under the watchful eyes of his two brothers.
"So good." Yitiao touched Liutiao's head and gave him some yellow peach flesh.
Er Tiao was fed another half spoonful of sugar water.
Six humming and humming. Woohoo~ He wants to grow up, to be as big as his big brother! Eat by himself, eat a lot...
In the kitchen, Cheng Zhenzhu poured out the water that had accumulated in the jar for more than half a month, brushed the jar thoroughly, filled it with water, and lit a fire to boil a large pot.
After giving One, Two, and Six a bath and changing their clothes, Three woke up. After taking a bath and eating a steamed cake, I slowly ate the canned yellow peaches.
This made the six little ones very greedy. They stood on a small stool and opened their mouths to make "ah ah" sounds, waiting to be fed.
San Tiao didn't guard the food, but he remembered that his mother had told Liu Tiao to eat less, so he only gave Liu Tiao a mouthful of the flesh, and gave another mouthful to his two brothers. The rest was his.
Liu Tiao felt a little regretful that he only got one bite, and sat next to his brother San Tiao, sighing "Ah, ah"...
After giving the little ones a bath, Cheng Zhenzhu threw their clothes into the space washing machine, took a comfortable bath herself, and cleaned her hair thoroughly.
The train ride was tiring, so I didn't cook dinner. I just made a pot of boiled noodles and a plate of steamed buns.
This was a very good meal. Since the food on the train was not very good, the little kids ate it with gusto.
"Hungry~" Liu Tiao was held in his mother's arms and was waiting impatiently to be fed.
"Woof woof woof!" Four or five cats under the table, smelling the alluring aroma and looking at their owners who hadn't been home for a long time, jumped and barked excitedly. Cheng Zhenzhu gave them a bowl of leftover rice mixed with two mouthfuls of noodle sauce, and also gave them a large cabbage stalk to chew on...
The day passed like this.
The next day, Cheng Zhenzhu wrote a reply letter and prepared some dried seafood, red dates and brown sugar, waiting to give them to the postman Wang Baogen when he came to Sanshi Island.
After the young educated youth Gu settled down in Caoshi, he wrote to her and sent her some Caoshi local specialties. She sent him some dried seafood in return. They kept in touch after that...
"Mom, the Lantern Festival is in two days, and then I have to go to school." Peng Yitiao stuffed his homework book into his schoolbag, feeling a little bitter.
"Going to school is a good thing. You can learn a lot." Cheng Zhenzhu saw a classmate's somewhat reluctant expression and was afraid that he might develop some aversion to studying again, so she said, "To celebrate going to school, let's have a good meal tomorrow."
"What's good?" Peng Yitiao suddenly became excited. Although he didn't know what was good about going to school.
"Let's have some rice dumplings and braised pork." Cheng Zhenzhu announced.
Tangyuan Peng Yitiao knew that his mother had made it last year during the Spring Festival. It was sweet, sticky, and delicious. However, he preferred salty to sweet. "Braised pork, I want some!"
Peng Ertiao was delighted, "Tangyuan, braised pork, I like them all!"
"Rou Rou~" The six eye lights lit up.
San Tiao also likes braised pork. He can eat half a bowl of rice with the braised pork sauce. The black beans in it are also delicious. However, my mother rarely makes braised pork, so he thinks it is the best.
On the Lantern Festival, Cheng Zhenzhu cooked a pot of glutinous rice balls, then used black bean curd and garlic as toppings to simmer a clay pot of glossy braised pork in her space. The clay pot had been delivered with her takeout order, and she thought it was delicious, so she kept it.
But after using it this time, the bottom of the clay pot turned black.
The four children ate sweet rice dumplings and paired them with salty and fragrant braised pork, with a look of satisfaction and comfort on their faces.
"Mom, it's delicious." Peng Ertiao was quite generous in praising.
"Mom, it's delicious and fragrant." Peng Yitiao, who has been in school for a year and a half, knows how to decorate.
"Mom, eat." Peng Sandiao raised the spoon to feed his mother.
Liu Tiao was in a hurry to eat, so he opened his mouth and intercepted the food halfway.
Seeing this, San Tiao also lost his temper and gave another six bites of rice with a little gravy.
"Ah, smells so good~" Liu Tiao smiled, smacked his lips twice, and then turned his little mouth towards his mother again.
Cheng Zhenzhu then fed the little guy some small glutinous rice balls. Liu Tiao hesitated for a moment, then ate them and asked him for some meat.
After a happy Lantern Festival, Yitiao went to school with his schoolbag on his back. Ertiao and Santiao wanted to help their mother with her worries, so they took Liutiao to play at home.
Liu Tiao felt that the house was too small for him to fully display his talents, so he lifted his short legs and went outside.
