"Hmm~" Kujo murmured unconsciously, bit his lips twice, then woke up, pouted his lips and subconsciously wanted to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm here. Are you hungry? Or do you need to pee?" With such a small and weak baby next to her, Cheng Zhenzhu was prepared for a missed sleep. Seeing that the baby seemed a little restless, she checked his diaper first.
"Oh~" The little baby felt the gentle touch and actually stopped crying and moved his body.
It's a good thing he hasn't pooped yet. Cheng Zhenzhu picked the little guy up and handed him a bottle. She had already prepared the milk powder, but she didn't know if the little guy would like it.
"Jiu Tiao, please give me some face?" Cheng Zhenzhu put the bottle in front of the little guy. No matter what, if there is no milk, there must be milk powder.
Jiu Tiao slapped it away, then leaned over Cheng Zhenzhu's chest with a "hmm" sound and nodded his head.
She doesn't want to drink milk, does she? She doesn't! Cheng Zhenzhu held the little guy and continued to try the bottle.
Jiujo pushed it away again. After several attempts, perhaps because he was truly hungry, he began to bite his fist. He bit while feeling sleepy.
Cheng Zhenzhu replaced her fist with a pacifier for him to bite, coaxing him in a low voice, "Jiu Tiao, this is not water, it's milk powder. It tastes good. Try it and you might like it. Your brothers all like it. Drinking it will help you grow taller, and when you grow up you'll be able to eat more delicious food..."
Maybe he was sleepy and hungry, so when the pacifier was put into his mouth, he didn't seem to resist and tried to suck it twice. After sucking, he felt that the taste was not so strong anymore and closed his eyes to sleep.
Cheng Zhenzhu was in a state of confusion. However, not crying or making a fuss was her best policy...
After such a long time, it was almost five in the morning. There was not much time to sleep any more, so Cheng Zhenzhu simply cleaned up, boiled another pot of rice oil, and then dug up all the big ones at six o'clock.
Knowing they were going home, the little ones didn't want to stay in bed. They jumped out of bed and immediately got busy, tidying up their clothes and shoes, then putting on their little backpacks and counting. Little Jiu Tiao heard the noise again and started kicking the bed, indicating that he was awake too.
Waking up, the same routine followed. Cheng Zhenzhu first helped the baby poop, changed his diaper, and fed him some rice oil, which was good for him. Before leaving, she took him to visit Old Man Wang.
...Wang Xiongtian was afraid of the illness, so he didn't hug her. He just looked at her from a distance. Then he said solemnly, "Comrade Zhenzhu, I'll leave my Xiaonian in your care."
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I'll raise Xiaonian the same way I raised my own children." If he behaves well, I'll praise him. If he doesn't, I'll punish him. Anyway, I won't raise him in a wrong way.
"Thank you, Comrade Zhenzhu. Dali, Xiaode, you..." Wang Xiongtian looked at Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode, who were not nephews but better than nephews.
"Don't worry, old man. We will take care of everything. Remember to take your medicine on time and get well soon." Zhao Dali said.
The old man looked much more energetic these past two days. He hoped that he would be well again when they returned.
Wang Hetian nodded. Even for the sake of the child, he would take good care of his health...
"Take care, Mr. Wang." Cheng Zhenzhu turned around and said her final goodbye. "If you want to come to Sanshi Island, you can come anytime."
"Hmm..." Wang Hetian looked at the backs of the people leaving for a long time. Finally, with the support of Wang Dahahua, he sat back on the bed and wiped his tears quietly.
******TRAIN STATION******
"Mom, all my brothers are here! There's one more this time, including me, so there are seven of us." Before getting on the train, the big brother Yi Tiao did not forget to count them.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, "Well, let's get in the car."
After getting on the train, Cheng Zhenzhu asked several people to untie the ropes that were holding them.
The children nodded, and then each found their own bed. Three people sat in a row and started to take out their school bags and divide the snacks. They were also very generous and gave a few snacks to Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode. Of course, their mother was definitely the first one in line.
This operation shocked and impressed Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode who were working in the opposite shop.
They had come together to see her off because they were worried that Cheng Saozi couldn't take care of so many children. But Xiaonian was incredibly well-behaved today, nestling in Cheng Saozi's arms and dangling his feet leisurely without a single whimper.
The other few items are already able to manage themselves, they are of no help at all...
"Sister-in-law Cheng, are you guys eating now? Want to buy some lunch boxes?" A few hours into the morning, it was already lunchtime. Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode, feeling they had finally found their true purpose, reached for their money and started buying lunch boxes.
"We only need one," Cheng Zhenzhu explained, noticing the surprised looks from the two people in the opposite shop. "They're not used to it." Then, Cheng Zhenzhu took out two pots of honey water, two packages of egg cakes, and a few cans of fruit, and invited the six children down for lunch. She'd bought the egg cakes at Haishi Market...
"Comrade Dali, Comrade Xiaode, would you like to have some egg cake too?" Cheng Zhenzhu took out nine canned fruits in a row and gave one to each of Comrades Sun Xiaode and Zhao Dali.
"No, no, we just want to eat..." Sun Xiaode and Zhao Dali quickly declined and asked for three boxed lunches, one for each of them and one for Cheng's sister-in-law.
Cheng Zhenzhu thanked him, took a few bites of the meal, and then fed each of the six children two bites.
The little kid in her arms was clearly not interested in the lunch box in front of Cheng Zhenzhu, and even had a slightly disdainful expression on his face. In fact, the little kid had had this expression since they got on the bus. But he was also hungry, so his little head subconsciously burrowed into Cheng Zhenzhu's chest.
Cheng Zhenzhu knew what was going on as soon as she saw this action and asked Comrade Dali to hand her the thermos cup.
Zhao Dali had already finished his meal and understood what she meant. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng, how about I feed her?"
That's fine, let her finish her meal first... Cheng Zhenzhu handed the baby to Comrade Dali, but the baby started crying as soon as it got into Comrade Dali's hands. It cried loudly and looked so sad that it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
This... Zhao Dali was facing strange gazes and felt a little embarrassed holding the crying baby.
It all depends on him. Sun Xiaode opened the thermos, lifted the crying child into his arms, and scooped a spoon of rice oil to the child's lips. Why else would the child be crying? He's hungry. Just give him something to eat...
"Wuwu~" Jiujo pursed his lips and refused to eat. He even slammed the spoon without giving any face. Tears streamed out one by one, his lips trembled, and he instantly looked like someone who couldn't be coaxed.
"Let me do it..." Cheng Zhenzhu said.
Then Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode saw the little nephew in Cheng's arms secretly open his eyes and glance at her twice, then open his mouth and stop crying. He slurped a mouthful of rice oil and twitched his feet twice, looking very contented...
