Although Mom has cut off his snacks, she will sometimes reward him with something delicious if he behaves well. Today he was very good...
"Liu Tiao, please help Jiu Tiao make a bowl of malted milk." Cheng Zhenzhu was busy with work and happened to see Liu Tiao trying to get out with his head in his hands, so she called him to stop.
She could understand that children get hungry quickly.
"I want one too!" Liu Tiao said immediately.
Er Tiao's eyes lit up, "Mom, I want to drink too!"
"Mom~" Three of them also ran out, followed by Seven, Eight and two of their little tails. The three of them smiled and pounced in front of Cheng Zhenzhu, their eyes sparkling.
"Then make a cup for everyone. Yitiao, help me boil some more water later." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded and looked at the little man standing in the front. Now that Yitiao is in junior high school, he has become a real man. As an older brother, he has set a good example for his younger brothers.
"Yeah!" Yitiao nodded and immediately took the kettle to make malted milk.
Er Tiao picked up the jar and happily followed his big brother. Behind him, there was a long, uneven and noisy queue.
The brothers wouldn't have been so loud originally, but it was mainly because Rokujo was teasing Jiujo again. Jiujo, naturally, wasn't convinced and fought back. Unable to withstand the blows, he started to attack with his "Ahhh wah wah" voice...
But this time, there was no brother to help him, as he was waiting to drink the malted milk. Kujo, who was holding the bottle, was very perceptive. Seeing that there was no brother to help him, he quickly held the bottle and whimpered for mercy...
"Mom, have a sip." After San Tiao got a cup of hot malted milk, he carefully brought it to his mother.
"Okay, that's enough, that's enough. Mom doesn't like it too sweet..." Cheng Zhenzhu took a sip under the expectant gaze of the three fish, and was immediately fed by the other six fish.
"Mommy, drink up~" Jiujo's malted milk was in the bottle. Seeing his brothers feeding their mother, he scratched his head and became very anxious. When it was finally his turn, he raised the nipple and stuffed it into his mother's eyes.
Cheng Zhenzhu: ...
"Mom, will grandma and the others come over in a few days?" After the exams, the few of them had nothing to do and started to pay attention to their grandparents' schedule.
"Let's do it before the New Year." Cheng Zhenzhu hugged Jiu Tiao and put him on the chair next to her.
"Will Grandpa Wang and the others come? Where is Uncle Dawei?" Yitiao asked.
"Not sure. Maybe." Cheng Zhenzhu didn't give a clear answer, fearing they'd be disappointed. Although a few of them had mentioned during the summer vacation that they'd visit during the New Year, she hadn't heard from either party recently...
"Oh." Er Tiao nodded and started asking his mother what to eat in the evening.
"Let's have a hotpot to celebrate your holiday." Cheng Zhenzhu said.
Hot pot! Yitiao and Jiutiao were overjoyed when they heard that. Jiutiao didn't know what his mother meant by "a lot of little guys," but when he heard the word "little," his eyes lit up immediately. He snuggled into his mother's arms, expressing his desire for lots of "little guys," even gesturing with his hands...
After hearing this, Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, patted Jiu Tiao's head and said, "You haven't finished your vegetable leaf porridge yet?"
"No Ye Zhou, no Ye Zhou~ Mommy is good, good, very beautiful~" Jiu Tiao shook his little head, hugged his mother's trouser legs tightly, and started to act cute with a pout.
Mom smiled, he said something nice, just a little bit of good~
Sigh. It's hard for this little dumpling who can only say "good" and "beautiful" when praising others... Cheng Zhenzhu stood up and said, "If you want to eat, it depends on your performance. If you behave well, mother will share a bowl with you. If you behave well, there will be delicious food and new clothes..."
"Talk!" Jiu Tiao nodded vigorously and spoke loudly, but he swallowed the "talk" because he was too excited.
He already knows that he can't eat delicious food casually, can't touch dangerous things, and can't play with clay figures... He remembers it all.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded with satisfaction and went to make a small hot pot. The weather was a bit cool, so a small hot pot was just right.
The lamb has been stewing all afternoon, so it's used as the base for the pot. I have fish balls, beef balls, and so on, and I'm preparing some mushrooms, fried tofu, yam slices, and two handfuls of greens. The pig lungs I brought back the day before are already prepared, so I can add a few extra slices...
The fragrant mutton hotpot was incredibly flavorful, especially the juicy white radish chunks, which were a favorite of the kids. Since they hadn't cooked yet, they ate the soft, sweet radish chunks with some beef balls, pig lungs, and mushrooms. They were so satisfied that they said they'd eat more when their grandma and grandpa came over.
"When grandma and grandpa come, let's try making a sour soup fish pot." Cheng Zhenzhu thought of the small pot of sauerkraut in the kitchen.
Thanks to the fact that the higher authorities have specially sent people to conduct inspections and provide guidance in recent years, and thanks to the hard work of the island's people and a group of educated youth, the island has finally harvested some vegetables.
The team was doing well, so Sister Yumei gave her a few, thanking her for trading dried seafood for income some time ago. Then, her sister-in-law, thanking Jiu Tiao for helping to coax San Hai, sent a few more. Thinking there were plenty of vegetables in the space, she took a few more and made pickled cabbage...
"Okay!" Liu Tiao agreed happily. He loved fish! He also liked fish soup.
The others nodded happily. After all, whatever Mom cooked was delicious. Nine, who got a bowl of diced radish, buried his head in his lap and laughed non-stop...
After this meal, the others had another sumptuous meal on Yi Tiao’s birthday.
Jiu Tiao, who had managed to get two more pieces of cake, was so happy that he would wipe his mouth and grab his brothers to ask who else had a birthday. He kept asking and asked, and even pinched his fingers every day.
After being asked so many questions, I felt a little depressed and started to avoid Jiu Tiao, the chatterbox.
But the chatterbox wasn't one to give up so easily. Every day after waking up, the first thing he did was look for his brother...
On this day, three days before the Chinese New Year, at five o'clock in the morning, the cold wind was blowing and it was still pitch black outside. Jiu Tiao got out of the quilt and was about to put clothes on his head.
Cheng Zhenzhu, who was so attached to the warmth of the quilt, couldn't hold the young man in her arms any longer. In the end, she could only wrap herself in the quilt to help him put on his clothes and let him get out of bed.
"Knock, knock, knock~" Jiujo couldn't open the door, so he peeked through the crack and started knocking on his brothers' doors again, knocking in a very rhythmic manner.
"Brother, brother, where is the village?" Jiu Tiao shouted while knocking on the door.
The six leaders in the room who were huddled under their covers with their hands covering their ears took a breath and dismissed each other with a single word, "Not here."
