Wang Xiongtian didn't know if Comrade Zhenzhu was saying these words to ease his guilt. But he felt strongly that leaving the child with Comrade Zhenzhu was the right thing to do. He hoped his grandson would be as healthy and happy as Liu Zitiao. Then, even if he died, he would have no regrets...
This conversation about "raising children" went on for a long time. This time, the children stood in a row and listened attentively.
"......Dali! Please help me get my cloth bag." Wang Xiongtian said as if he had finally made up his mind.
Zhao Dali nodded and took the old man's cloth bag. He knew that it contained the old man's savings over the years, as well as Weimin's... pension.
"Comrade Zhenzhu, these are all for you." Wang Xiongtian stuffed the whole bag into Cheng Zhenzhu's hands without even looking at it. "It is a blessing for our Xiaonian that you agreed to support him. You are a great benefactor to our Wang family. On behalf of Weimin and Xiaonian, I want to thank you..."
Cheng Zhenzhu pursed her lips after hearing this, opened the heavy cloth bag in her arms, and took out a wad of money and handed it to Old Man Wang. "Old Man, you don't have to give me all of it. I'll take half. You still have a life to live, and since you're the child's grandfather, it's safer for you to keep this money. When the child comes to visit you in the future, you can spend it however you want."
5,000 yuan was a lot. In the 1970s, it was enough to support a family.
...In the end, Cheng Zhenzhu carried the baby back to the guesthouse. Before leaving, Old Man Wang told her that he wouldn't tell the baby about his life story. He just hoped the baby would be well and not follow his father's example and join the army. It wasn't that being a soldier was bad, but it was just his only bloodline left, and he was worried about what might happen.
Cheng Zhenzhu agreed. According to the plot, the young male protagonist was also unable to join the army because he failed the physical examination...
In the guesthouse, Wang Dahua saw Cheng Zhenzhu coming back with the baby in her arms, and wondered if it was done.
Sun Xiaode nodded to his mother.
"Auntie, you guys chat, I'll go upstairs first..." Cheng Zhenzhu said goodbye to Wang Dahua and went upstairs with the baby in her arms. She planned to give the baby some formula. She had bottles in her space, and this time she bought a few bags of formula at the supply and marketing cooperative, just enough to give the baby some nutritional support.
"Be good and stay here. I'll get you something delicious." Cheng Zhenzhu took the fist out of the little guy's mouth.
"Oh~" The little baby heard the voice and moved his head as if in response.
"Mom, we will make him behave!" When the six boys saw the little one put on the bed by their mother, they all took off their shoes and climbed onto the bed to look at their new brother.
"Ahhhh!" The baby on the bed saw a large dark shadow looming over him, and tried to throw his tiny fists back. The little guy couldn't even roll over yet, so he just stared at it, unblinking.
"It's so small! I feel like his face is the size of my hand." I took it in my hand and measured it, and found that it was not even as big as his hand. If it were any smaller, I could put it directly in my pocket.
Let’s compare the second one, and then line up several others to try.
"My hands are a little small, but one of my fingers is more powerful than his." Bajiao raised his head and said proudly.
Qi Tiao felt that he needed a hand because the finger that Ba Tiao had just extended was pushed away by the baby.
Bajo frowned as he looked at his little finger being pushed away. Then he raised two fingers, waved them in front of the little doll, and pinched them twice...
"Oh oh~" The little baby arched his butt, raised his two short legs, and kicked eight two-fingered fingers away with one foot.
This neat move made several people laugh.
One person said they really liked this little brother who had decent fighting skills. Two, three, and six also said it was okay, because there were rewards for taking care of the little brother. Seven had no opinion at all.
Only eight injured worlds were achieved instantly. Hum╯^╰Eight arms hugging, waiting for the baby to grow up!
"Okay, let's not give you milk powder for now. Let you drink some water first." Cheng Zhenzhu remembered that she still needed to make a transition, so she filled some warm water into the bottle, lifted the baby up and gave it to him to drink.
"Mom, what is this? I've never seen it before." Liu Tiao saw the bottle with a curious look in his eyes.
"A bottle," Cheng Zhenzhu replied. Liu Tiao was already nine months old when she was brought home, and since there was no milk powder at the time, she wasn't given a bottle, so she'd never seen anything normal.
I'd never seen any of them before. But they had water and other things! A few of them went downstairs and lined up to pour honey water from the cabinet to drink. The honey water on the cabinet was no longer as cool, but it was sweet and delicious.
"Mom, is this Jiu Tiao from now on?" Er Tiao, who loves naming, drank two sips of honey water and ran over to ask.
"Yes." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, "From now on he will be your youngest brother."
The last one. The seven Dragon Balls are finally complete, there are no more.
"Oh oh~" The little baby, who had just been named Jiu Tiao, had never seen a bottle before. He instinctively reached out to grab the bottle, licked it with his tongue, and chewed it. But he didn't suck it. The toothless little disciple kept biting and biting, staring at it intently with a curious look.
******
"What? You said that the eldest sister is willing to raise Xiaonian until he grows up?" Downstairs, Wang Dahua confirmed the news in shock after listening to her son and Zhao Dali's stories.
"Yeah." Sun Xiaode nodded.
"What about the old man?" Wang Dahua was a little dazed.
"When he recovers, the old man will go visit Xiaonian, and then prepare to return to his hometown in the countryside." Zhao Dali paused and said, "Tomorrow we will send Sister Cheng back to her place together. Aunt Dahua, I'll leave the old man in your care."
Wang Dahua nodded blankly, "Well, don't worry about this..."
"Ahhh~" Jiujo is a smart kid. After trying more than ten times, his tender little hands can try to hold the bottle by himself. However, the little guy doesn't have much strength. He drops it after holding it for a while. He picks it up again, and drops it again. He never gets tired of it.
Seeing that the little guy refused to drink water, Cheng Zhenzhu simply poured out the water and let the little guy get used to the bottle.
"Mom, it stinks. Did Jiu Tiao poop?" Liu Tiao took another sip of honey water and returned to bed. Suddenly, he smelled an unfriendly smell. He pinched his nose and tried to fan the air.
"I smell it too." San Tiao nodded and leaned in to sniff.
Qi Tiao's face flushed red, and he raised his hands weakly and said, "I put it there~"
Because he accidentally ate too many sweet potato strips.
Then all five of them looked at Qi Tiao in unison. The little one in Lian Cheng Zhenzhu's arms seemed to have found its target as well, staring at Qi Tiao intently, its eyes blinking.
"It seems there's more." Qi Tiao was a particular person. After saying that, he ran outside and farted.
