Cheng Zhenzhu looked at them with amusement. Were these children now speaking directly to her through their actions?
In that case, let’s take a shower together!
Cheng Zhenzhu prepared the water and shoved several large strips of fish in like dumplings. The basin was large enough to hold three. As for Liu Tiao, who was still undressing, Zhao Fangrui pulled her aside.
Xiaomei helps Xiaohuzi wash, and she helps Liutiao wash.
Liu Tiao was somewhat unhappy with the small bucket assigned to his grandmother's side. While his grandmother was bending down to look for soap, he ran to his mother and tried to squeeze into the bathtub where his brothers were.
"Six Tiao, there's no room left." Er Tiao saw six dirty feet about to step in and stopped them immediately.
"Wash the pot, mommy wash it~" Liu Tiao looked eagerly, and then was caught by Zhao Fangrui who had found the soap and stuffed into the bucket...
After washing the dolls and rinsing them with water, they were placed naked on the bed. The naked dolls immediately started to make a scene.
"The clothes are here." Wang Xiaomei said as she pushed open the door.
Seeing Wang Xiaomei carrying clothes into the room, Yitiao, Ertiao, and Xiaohuzi hurriedly hugged each other shyly. Before Santiao could be carried in, she rolled over behind her brothers, her face flushed, and covered with the quilt.
"Put on your clothes and go out to eat." Wang Xiaomei put clothes in front of the babies and pulled the youngest one, Liu, to help him put on his clothes.
Actually, this kid is a year younger than San Tiao, but now he's almost as tall as San Tiao and has a very strong body. My second sister said he's very active and a good eater...
Rokujo still doesn't know what shyness is. He glanced at his clothes and threw them aside, saying he didn't want to wear any more clothes. He was hot in the clothes and uncomfortable without them. He was going to eat.
"Shame on you!" Er Tiao got down to the ground and pointed at Liu Tiao who refused to put on clothes.
After San Tiao put on his clothes, the heat on his face subsided. Seeing Liu Tiao showing off his small body generously, he walked over and hugged his arm.
Liu Tiao ignored his brothers' strange reactions, put on his pants, slipped out of Wang Xiaomei's hands, and ran out quickly with his hands shaking.
Zhao Fangrui was making malted milk when she turned around and saw her little grandson, shirtless. "Liu Tiao, why did you come out without clothes on?"
"Six hot, not hot~" Six shiny items stared at the malted milk in his grandma's hand.
"You have to wear clothes even if it's hot. Put on your clothes, and let your brother Xiaohu take you to the fan later." Zhao Fangrui put the malted milk on the table, took the clothes from Wang Xiaomei's hand, and helped Liu Tiao put on his pants first.
"Fan?" Liu Tiao stretched out his hands to pick up his clothes, his mind starting to race.
"Yes, there are fans. Let's go and use the fans." Little Tiger said happily. The fans were bought this year. The family bought three of them. They spin very well and are very cool.
Then, each of the five children carried a bowl of malted milk and sat in front of the fan. In the yard, Cheng Zhenzhu finished her bath and began washing clothes. Summer clothes, thin as they are, are actually quite easy to wash. However, after a few days on the train, the clothes were indeed dirty and smelly, and soon the basin of water turned to mud.
"Zhenzhu, stop working. Come in and have something to eat. I'll take care of the rest." Zhao Fangrui saw her daughter busying herself as soon as she came into the house, so she moved a stool to help.
"Mom, don't get your hands wet. I'll wash them right away." Cheng Zhenzhu wrung out the clothes and put them in the bucket, then asked about her older sister Cheng Zhenyu. "Mom, where's my older sister?"
"She's been busy lately. Don't worry about her." Zhao Fangrui went into the house to get a clothes hanger and whispered, "Your eldest sister has been like crazy lately, trying all kinds of folk remedies and saying she wants to get pregnant again."
"Is it my eldest sister who wants to have a baby, or is it my brother-in-law?" Cheng Zhenzhu pondered her age. She was almost 28 years old, so her eldest sister was 30 years old, which was considered an elderly mother.
"She wants both. Although she doesn't say it, your elder sister is really trying to have a son. Now that Xiaomei is pregnant, she is extremely anxious." Zhao Fangrui didn't know what to say.
Sometimes she felt that her eldest daughter was already thirty, and that she could just take care of the other daughters. But then she thought, "A son is definitely needed to keep the family together." Da Ni and Er Ni were weak and easily bullied, so they really needed a brother...
"Xiaomei is pregnant? When did it happen?" Cheng Zhenzhu was a little surprised. Xiaohuzi hadn't told her, and Zhenbao hadn't mentioned it to her along the way.
"It happened just two days ago. I took him to the hospital. Zhenbao just found out about it. Now he's in his room, laughing like a fool."
It was truly a joyous occasion. Cheng Zhenzhu smiled. Cheng Zhenbao had always wanted to have another child, and now her wish had finally come true. However, Xiaomei wouldn't be able to enjoy the crab sauce she brought. She remembered that Xiaomei had always loved crabs...
At dinner, Wang Xiaomei saw the fragrant spicy crab sauce on the table and regretted it deeply. Why didn't she wait two months to get pregnant?
"Xiaomei, after you give birth, you can come to my place and eat as much as you want." Cheng Zhenzhu said to Wang Xiaomei who was looking forward to it.
"That's great, thanks, Second Sister. I'll eat more then, to make up for it!" Wang Xiaomei rubbed her stomach with regret. Crabs are cold in nature, so she'd have to avoid them for now.
"Mom is pregnant?" Little Tiger, who was eating with relish at the dinner table, realized it belatedly.
"Yes, little tiger, are you happy?" Cheng Zhenbao has never stopped talking since he learned the news that his wife was pregnant.
Little Tiger held the bowl and nodded like pounding garlic, "I'm happy! But, Mom, we agreed that you have to give me a little brother to play with, not a little sister. A little sister is so scary! I don't want it!"
Everyone at the table was instantly amused by Xiao Hu's childish words. Having a child wasn't something you could just do if you wanted to. But they knew why Xiao Hu was so afraid of his sister.
