"Mom, we can just boil water ourselves." After Cheng Zhenzhu finished cleaning the pot, they left their mother alone.
Some scooped water, some took firewood, and some started a fire. The shorter ones, Seven and Eight, were blocked outside and couldn't squeeze into the circle of help at all. They could only chat with the grumbling Nine around.
"Duoduo, Duoduo~" Jiujo saw a group of brothers and sisters gathered together, as if they were organizing some activity. His restless little paws scratched everywhere, trying to attract attention to him.
"It's okay, we're not going out to play. We'll call you if we do." Er Tiao patted Jiu Tiao's head and reassured him, just like his older brother had reassured him in the past.
He's no longer the follower behind his brother. He's become stronger! Now he has a few more followers behind him, and the team is strong. He is definitely the second in command.
"Yeah~" Jiu Tiao nodded, and lay in the arms of the two little brothers and played with her feet...
Zhao Fangrui looked at her family of children who were now able to support themselves, and she felt truly happy for her second daughter. These children were truly well-behaved and they were also very good leaders.
The two granddaughters, Da Ni and Er Ni, were usually well-behaved, needless to say. Little Tiger's energy had indeed been ignited by the grandchildren, who followed him around helping out everywhere, leaving him no time for mischief. And San Ni, now also followed behind and moved a bit, no longer trying to stir up trouble...
...The children were busy, and Cheng Zhenzhu had some free time to chat with her mother and Xiaomei. As they chatted, she thought of the jars of grape wine that had settled at home.
"By the way, Mom, didn't I tell you before that I didn't make plum wine? I made some wine, it's ready, you can try it later."
"Wine?" Zhao Fangrui felt her urge to drink kick in the moment she heard the word "wine." She had enjoyed the wine before!
"Mm, it's good for replenishing blood and qi. You can drink more of this. After drinking it, take a bath and have a good sleep..." Cheng Zhenzhu took out the wine and took out three cups. This one is for the adults to drink, and as for the children, they can share some sugar water.
Wang Xiaomei looked at the big jar and felt a little greedy. Her mother-in-law had been drinking the wine that her second aunt brought back last time. Her skin had improved and her spirits were high. She looked several years younger.
If the wine wasn't for curing rheumatic bone pain and its strong taste, she would have asked her parents-in-law for a couple of glasses...
When Zhao Fangrui heard her daughter say, "Drink some and then take a bath," she instinctively thought it was the kind of good wine that would make your body smell a little bit after drinking it, and she was even more excited. Huo Ran stood up and said, "Zhenzhu, you take a break for dinner, I'll make it. Are you going to make the fish?"
Eat early, then have a drink and take a bath early... Zhao Fangrui had a beautiful dream.
"Then I'll light the fire." said Wang Xiaomei, who didn't need to look after her daughter.
"Let's cook fish. The kids all want to eat it. We have two bigger ones at home. How about braising one and boiling the other?" Cheng Zhenzhu asked.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Fangrui nodded. Not only did her baby want to eat it, she wanted to eat it too. But she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to make it taste like her daughter's lunch...
Cheng Zhenzhu saw her mother's hesitant expression and smiled, "Let me do it. Mom, Xiaomei, you two should take a good rest for two days. Anyway, we have to stay for a while, and there is a long time to come. I will find time to let you take my place..."
"Then I'd better light the fire." Zhao Fangrui compromised.
Wang Xiaomei, who had no way to retreat and could not find work, thought about it again and again, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Then I will help Jiu Tiao take a bath later."
"Little deer, take a bath~" The little deer who was running over heard her mother say take a bath, and immediately pulled her mother with her little hand to find clothes.
"Xiaolu, you've already washed. I'll give you a bath later," Wang Xiaomei said, hugging her daughter. Xiaolu hadn't been in the water, so there was just a little sand on her clothes, which she could just wipe off with a towel.
"Yes! It's dirty, I need to wash it and make it smell nice. Nice~" The little deer pouted, picked out the sand on her skirt and showed it to her mother, pointing to the dirty places.
The older brothers and sisters all took a bath and put on nice clothes, and she wanted to wear that pretty pink dress too! "Little sister, look beautiful~"
"Ah~" Wang Xiaomei finally sighed helplessly after not being able to persuade her daughter, and hugged her daughter to get clothes. "Then mother will help Jiu Tiao wash first, okay?"
The little deer nodded. "Why?" she said in a soft voice. "Because she wanted a sweet little brother..."
So, at half past five, everyone in the family started to get busy. Cheng Zhenzhu gutted the two fish that had been in the aquarium for some time, chopped them into pieces, and rubbed them with salt.
Zhao Fangrui sat in front of the stove, preparing to light the fire. Wang Xiaomei managed the children waiting in line for a bath. She even briefly cut in line for Jiu Tiao.
The main reason was that she heard from others that Jiu Tiao didn't like taking baths and was a fugitive from the bathtub, so more people would have to take care of Jiu Tiao...
So in order to prevent the children from getting their clothes dirty after taking a bath, Jiu Tiao was allowed to cut in line.
"Ah~" Jiu Tiao was picked up by Wang Xiaomei. Suddenly he realized that something was wrong and twisted his body to escape.
But how could tiny Jiu Tiao escape the clutches of his brothers? He was immediately stripped naked. His hands and feet were restrained, and he was carried into the bathtub like a pig.
"Woo woo~" Jiu Tiao huddled up his weak and helpless body, pouted his lips, and looked accusingly at everything. No matter how he tried to escape, he couldn't escape his brother's world...
"Jiujiu, hehe~" Seeing Jiujiu's aggrieved look, Bajiu pinched his chubby cheeks and rubbed his neck.
