It was just a bit too childish. One or two couldn't help but move a bit when they were called. Three soon got the hang of it. Six held the squid strips and licked them, kicking their feet, showing that they were not very interested.
"You will be my younger brother tomorrow too."
Compared to his extroverted twin brother, Lu Jianxian was more reserved and quiet, so his voice sounded a bit colder. He could tell the two brothers apart with a few simple calls.
"It's my brother's turn!" Lu Siqi's eyes widened slightly. "They're the same size. Mom said so!"
"I came out first." Lu Jianxian laid out the evidence.
"We agreed on that. You lied to me! Humph! ╯^╰" Lu Siqi was not convinced. They agreed on one day each. Today he called me brother, tomorrow they had to switch. "Tomorrow, you have to call me big brother."
"Brother." Lu Jianxian looked at Lu Siqi and called out.
Before, when he was with the bad woman, he wanted to make his younger brother happy, so he agreed to let him take turns being the older brother. Now they are no longer with the bad woman, so he will always be the older brother from now on.
"Okay, okay..." Facing her brother's gaze, Lu Siqi pursed her lips and muttered in defeat.
Ichijo saw this and glared. My goodness, this little brother's "big brother temperament" is even more stable than his! He didn't even raise his fist...
Cheng Zhenzhu fetched a few bottles of hot water outside and then borrowed a basin from the guesthouse. Then, remembering something, she returned and asked, "Hello, Auntie. Can I have an extra blanket?"
"Sure." Seeing that she was a woman with so many children, the people at the guesthouse were easy to talk to. They even personally brought buns and a kettle to her door.
"Thank you." Cheng Zhenzhu was very grateful.
"No, no, just let me know if you need anything." The aunt from the guesthouse waved her hand and went downstairs.
Cheng Zhenzhu closed the door and poured hot water for the little ones to wash their faces and hands, starting from the oldest to the youngest. Afterward, they took turns soaking their feet. There was only one basin, so two people could soak at a time.
This time, the children soaked their feet in order from youngest to oldest. Little brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi were the first to do so. Afterward, the children warmed up and crawled into bed to play happily.
Twin brother Lu Siqi was playful and active, quickly becoming friends with his older brothers. Lu Jianxian was still a little reserved, but he answered every question, not as distant as before.
Cheng Zhenzhu watched the children play and used the remaining hot water to make a ceramic bowl of malted milk for them. She also took out seven or eight boiled eggs. Then she took a few lukewarm steamed buns from the space and put them in an enamel cup. She placed them in a basin half-filled with hot water to heat them, and also put the boiled eggs in the basin to heat them.
"Let's eat these first. It's past dinner time and there's no food in the guesthouse. We'll have hot meals in the evening." After Cheng Zhenzhu finished soaking her feet, the food in the basin became much hotter. She put the steamed buns and eggs on a stool and let the children sit by the bed with quilts wrapped around them to eat.
He nodded a little, pulled out the quilt with a grunt, huddled under the quilt, and reached out to take out the steamed bun to eat.
"Dandan~" Lu Siqi's eyes sparkled, and then he held a steamed bun in his little hands.
Lu Jianxian also took a steamed bun and whispered, "Thank you, Auntie Zhuzhu."
Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, having never expected her nickname to change again, from Aunt Spider to Aunt Pig. This was a super mutation...
"You're welcome, just eat." Cheng Zhenzhu also took a steamed bun for herself. After taking a bite, she heard a knock on the door.
"Sister-in-law Cheng, I want to ask..." When the door opened, Qian Dawei saw Cheng Zhenzhu holding a steamed bun in her hand. The children behind her were each making one and eating it with gusto.
"Comrade Dawei, have an egg and some steamed buns. I just heated them up with hot water, so they're a little warm." Cheng Zhenzhu invited.
"No, no. Sister Cheng, I heard that the hotel is out of food, so I wanted to take you to a restaurant outside for dinner. Since we've already eaten, then..."
Cheng Zhenzhu stuffed two eggs and steamed bread into Comrade Qian Dawei's mouth and said, "Well, they said that dinner will be served in the evening. Comrade Dawei, please eat something first. It's really cold outside. The children's feet are icy and they are just warming up. Let's wait for dinner at the guesthouse..."
"It's really cold outside. I didn't think it through... Thank you, Sister Cheng, for the eggs and steamed bread." Qian Dawei took a bite of the steamed bread, closed the door, and said softly, "Then I'll go to the army first and ask Jiamu what's going on. Sister Cheng, please help take care of the two children..."
"It's okay. Go ahead. It won't be a big deal for me to play with two kids and a dog..." After seeing Comrade Qian Dawei off, Cheng Zhenzhu frowned, feeling a little worried.
She was afraid that the children would hear bad news, and she was also afraid that she would not receive good news in her dreams.
Cheng Zhenzhu calmed down, went back to her room, ate two eggs, locked the door, and lay down in her clothes. "Yiyi, you guys play for a while, I'm going to take a nap."
"Okay." Yitiao nodded and moved to another place with his brothers.
Cheng Zhenzhu asked Xiaoqi to help look after the dolls, then closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep. Perhaps she was too tired from the long car ride, and soon she actually fell asleep.
Even more fortunately, she saw the young educated youth Gu and Comrade Lu again in her dream. They had changed their clothes and looked like people from her era. If it weren't for the large black bag Comrade Lu was holding that was so obvious, she would have almost missed it...
"Comrade Lu, here comes the educated youth Xiao Gu." Cheng Zhenzhu called out to the two people who were in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law Cheng, is that you?" Gu Xixi shouted in surprise, and then attracted many strange looks from the people around.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Lu Jiamu took a look at the surroundings, then asked Cheng Zhenzhu if they could go to the small park in front.
Ever since he exchanged some of his money at the antique market, he couldn't help but wonder about Cheng's wife. How did Cheng know all this, and even knew about the antique market? She didn't seem surprised at all when they said it was 2023...
"Sure," Cheng Zhenzhu replied. This time she was certain she was truly awake, even remembering how many steps it took her to reach the park. To say this was all a dream she'd made up was absurd.
"Sister-in-law Cheng, why can't we see you?" Gu Xixi asked curiously. Last time they heard Sister-in-law Cheng's voice when they were dozing off, they thought it was just a dream, but now they were walking outside.
"I don't know either." Cheng Zhenzhu shook her head. She didn't quite understand the situation. She just wanted to confirm one thing. "Little Gu Zhiqing, I heard from the army that they recovered two bodies from the sea that look very similar to yours. They've already confirmed their identities. So, who are you now..." Human or ghost?
