Cheng Zhenzhu was so happy that she hugged the little ones and walked home.
"Mother," Ba Tiao picked at his fingers, "We've been waiting for nine squares. We want nine delicious dishes..."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at Ba Tiao and said with a smile, "Nine squares? Are we sure Ba Tiao has nine squares?"
As expected, children always remember what adults say... She certainly didn't intend to break her promise. She made an appointment with the little ones to come back at five o'clock. Then she told them that if they didn't come back in time, she would bring them some delicious food. Each grid was five minutes, and for every extra grid, there would be more delicious food...
"Nine, nine!" Jiu Tiao stood on tiptoe and clapped his hands happily.
To him, "nine" is a lot. Because he's the ninth child, he knows it's the largest number in the family, so he occasionally thinks about being the eldest brother and calling his brothers "little brothers." But as soon as this thought comes up, he gets beaten up...
"It was 9 just now, but I don't know now. It might be 11." Qi Tiao thought for a moment and replied to his mother.
"Then let's go and have a look." Cheng Zhenzhu touched Qi Tiao's little face. Qi Tiao was really a well-behaved and smart one, just like San Tiao...
One: "Mother!"
Nijo: "Mother, mother!"
San Tiao: "Mom is back!"
Liu Tiao: "Mom, I'm hungry~"
"Hey!" Cheng Zhenzhu had just returned to the yard with her three little ones in her arms when she heard several loud voices. The last six little ones' words, "I'm hungry," were not unexpected at all.
But before serving the meal, she decided to give out some rewards. Seven and Eight happily told her it was "11," and a few others immediately started saying "11" too, lots and lots of "11"...
"Mom has some brown sugar cubes here. You can reward me for being a good boy..." Cheng Zhenzhu returned to the room and took out an oil-paper bag.
Inside were rectangular strips of brown sugar. She had bought a few packs at the supply and marketing cooperative before, and would occasionally give them to her children as snacks.
Occasionally, she would eat one, and it was quite delicious. This was also a beautiful memory of her childhood. The last time she ate one, the memory was even sweeter.
The eighth one was bright and shiny, and quickly ran to his mother. The others also gathered around. The brown sugar cubes were sweet and delicious.
"These two pieces are for us, Seven and Eight. You helped mom look after your younger brother and cleaned the house at home today, and waited for mom to come back obediently..." Cheng Zhenzhu gave two pieces to Seven and Eight respectively.
Look at his brother? Jiu Tiao tilted his head, his eyes lit up and he said to his mother, "Mom, look at your brother too!"
"Where are you looking at the younger brother? You are the younger brother!" Liu Tiao tapped Jiu Tiao's head. Jiu Tiao was a bit clumsy sometimes.
Humph! Jiu Tiao pouted, then tried to make amends by saying, "Look at Aunt Yumei's brother. He has a brother too! Although he's someone else's brother..."
Cheng Zhenzhu couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiu Tiao's serious expression. She then gave the little guy a piece of brown sugar and said, "This is for our Jiu Tiao."
Jiu Tiao, who only got one piece of brown sugar, was a little unhappy. However, when he saw his brothers who were greedy for the brown sugar, especially when he met the eyes of his brother Liu Tiao, he quickly protected the brown sugar and licked it. His little eyes would occasionally drift over to look at his brother Liu Tiao...
The three little brothers all had delicious brown sugar, and Liu Tiao was so greedy. He wanted one too.
"Mom, Liu Tiao's dearest mom~the best mom~the most beautiful mom~the most beautiful mom..." Liu Tiao worked very hard to make a living, and he said a lot of nice words to her as if they were free.
Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at the little girl who was trying to act like a spoiled brat, "Liu Tiao, have you finished your homework?"
When he heard about the assignment, Liu Tiao was slightly discouraged, but he immediately stood at attention and straightened his body. "I promise to complete the task!"
So what this means is that it's not finished... Cheng Zhenzhu knows her children well. When asked about homework, No. 1 and No. 2 immediately lowered their heads, while No. 3 looked at her without any guilt. She broke off half a brown sugar cube and gave it to No. 3, "This is for us, No. 3. Do your homework seriously, you're a good boy."
"Thank you, Mom~" The three little faces smiled, looking very surprised, their eyes flying. He knew that Mom was the best to him!
Liu Tiao glanced at his brother San Tiao who got half a candy directly, and said sourly, "Mom, you gave it to San Tiao directly, but you had to ask for Liu Tiao's help. Mom has to love Liu Tiao more, otherwise his stomach will be empty and his head will be empty..."
As he spoke, Liu Tiao pinched his belly and secretly glanced at his mother with his little face, looking a little distressed.
Hey! Cheng Zhenzhu heard this, feeling helpless and amused. If Liu Tiao's solid flesh were to hurt any more, it would be terrible... But seeing that this little guy had resorted to such a painful trick, it would be unreasonable not to give him anything.
She didn't discriminate, giving each person one-third of the price for one, two, or six pieces.
"Hehe~" Seeing that he got a small piece of brown sugar, Liu Tiao immediately became happy. He didn't forget to flatter his mother.
I didn't expect that they also had one, so I happily thanked their mother and stuffed it in one gulp...
After his mother left, Liu Tiao immediately acted proudly in front of his eldest and second brothers, "Brother, brother, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to eat brown sugar."
"Haha." Er Tiao raised his fist and retorted to Liu Tiao. "The candy is from my mother. We have already thanked her."
"Hmph!" When Liu Tiao saw his second brother's fist, he knew the situation and ran back to his desk to do his homework.
