After Cheng Hao settled Monica down, he went downstairs and saw Old George and the others waiting downstairs.
Old George's expression was a little awkward: "How is she...?"
"She has rested. Has she eaten?" Cheng Hao asked.
"He had a little bit of the hospital nutritious meal this morning, but he didn't even finish one portion." Old George frowned, "He's such a picky eater!"
Cheng Hao: "..." Old George himself is picky about food and doesn't eat much. Just because he and Claude eat a lot, it doesn't mean that a little girl should eat a lot, right?
Besides, the nutritional meals in the hospital don’t taste very good.
"George, can you finish the nutritious meal?" Cheng Hao asked.
Old George: “…” He doesn’t want to eat that porridge!
"Also, George, even if you are angry in your heart, don't lose your temper in front of her. She just gave birth to a child and what she needs is other people's care and love." Cheng Hao added. Although he didn't understand women's childbirth, he knew that many people suffered from postpartum depression.
Monica is still so young and already has a child. I'm afraid she is not ready to be a mother yet. What if someone quarrels with her at this time and makes her angry?
"I'm not angry with her, I just want her to talk nicely!" Old George said angrily, his voice particularly loud.
Cheng Hao: "..." From the look on Old George's face when he saw Monica before, it was clear that he cared about his daughter, but it was obvious that he didn't know how to get along with her.
Fortunately, Arabella was sensible: "George, if you can't even speak properly yourself, how can you expect Monica to speak properly?"
Old George fell silent.
Arabella looked at Cheng Hao again: "Cheng Hao, did you prepare a room for Monica? You really thought of it more carefully than me. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot about it."
She had actually thought of this, but she had originally planned to let Monica stay in her room first.
"I just prepared something." Cheng Hao said, "Arabella, you go stay with Monica and help her take care of the kids. Bob and I will prepare lunch."
"Okay." Arabella nodded and went to Monica.
Cheng Hao looked at old George again: "George, you should ask someone who can take care of the children." They don't have anyone here who can take care of the children, this won't work.
Of course, the most important thing is that old George is not short of money.
Old George snorted twice and then asked, "Is one enough? The baby kept crying last night and Arabella and I were both very busy."
"If you're just looking after a child, one is enough. The most important thing is to find someone reliable." Cheng Hao said, "I heard about a case before... a nanny hired to take care of a child secretly harmed the child."
Old George was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course!" Cheng Hao said.
Old George thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask someone to introduce me to a better nanny. She must have a medical examination report!"
Old George hurried out.
Cheng Hao and Bob prepared lunch.
Western food is relatively simple. Just open a few packs of bacon and put them in a frying pan. After a while, oil will be released, and you can use this oil to fry eggs.
In addition, Cheng Hao also stewed a chicken.
Should people drink some chicken soup after giving birth?
It took much longer to stew the chicken than Cheng Hao expected, and it was already lunchtime before the chicken was done.
So for lunch, they had bacon, bread, fruit salad, and boiled broccoli.
After cooking, Cheng Hao brought Monica's food over.
"How did you bring the food?" Arabella was surprised.
"Monica needs to rest, you can eat in bed." Cheng Hao said.
Arabella was a little stunned, and Monica was also a little confused: "Is giving birth so serious?"
"Shouldn't you take a few more days off after giving birth?" Cheng Hao asked.
Both sides looked at each other, and finally Arabella and Monica accepted Cheng Hao's advice: "Then let's rest for a few more days." Neither of them had given birth before and had no knowledge in this area. Cheng Hao was so confident, so they decided to listen to him.
He has two younger brothers, and he should have seen how his mother gave birth to and raised children.
There was a pregnant woman in the family, but it didn't have much impact on Cheng Hao.
He simply recommended another way to cook rice - porridge - for the other people in the house to eat.
After the chicken soup was ready, Arabella thought it was strange to drink the water used to cook the chicken and was reluctant to drink it. Cheng Hao simply used the chicken soup to make a pot of porridge, and then added some chicken, mushrooms, and vegetables... The porridge that came out was quite delicious.
At least Monica liked it.
That night, Old George brought back two people.
One is a white woman who is a nanny and helps Monica take care of the children. The other is a black woman who is Nick's sister. Old George asked her to help with housework.
The former is licensed and has a college degree. His weekly salary is higher than Bob's, at $150. The latter is much cheaper, with food and accommodation provided, and only $30 a week.
With so many more people in the house, the original rooms were no longer enough, so Arabella cleaned up a study for the two of them to live in.
The nanny was very experienced and provided a lot of advice on caring for the new mother. She suggested that Monica stay in bed for a week and then get out of bed and walk around after a week.
With her, others no longer have to worry about taking care of Monica and the children.
Apart from the occasional crying of a child in the house, the next week of life was no different for Cheng Hao than before.
Oh, it’s a little different.
Every time Old George got mad at Claude and flew into a rage, Arabella would jump out and say, "George, shut up! You're going to wake the kids!"
In this case, Old George had no choice but to keep quiet. Although he said nothing, he cared deeply about Monica and even went to buy groceries for her every day.
A week later, Monica finally came downstairs with her child.
She had a stern face when she went downstairs, as if she didn't care about the people around her, but as soon as she got downstairs, she screamed and could no longer maintain her expression.
Cheng Hao and Claude are practicing fighting.
This time, Cheng Hao didn't just take a beating, but fought back, so the fight between the two was particularly fierce.
However, Claude lacked experience and was taught by Cheng Hao, so Cheng Hao was always able to dodge his attacks and would not hit a position that would hurt Claude, so neither of them would be seriously injured.
But even so, they played very hard.
Even Claude was accidentally punched in the face and the corner of his mouth was broken.
"Claude, you have to be careful on your defense! You have to learn to protect your face." Cheng Hao said, and while he was speaking, he was accidentally knocked to the ground by Claude.
It was at this time that Cheng Hao saw Monica.
"Hi!" Cheng Hao greeted Monica and prepared for the next exercise: "Come on, Claude, jump rope for ten minutes!"
Claude was somewhat reluctant.
Cheng Hao said, "I can dance for half an hour! You must dance for ten minutes!"
"Okay..." Claude agreed.
Monica was speechless when she heard Cheng Hao's words: "Jumping rope for half an hour? Are you kidding? It's amazing to be able to jump for five minutes, right?"
She used to be out of breath after just one minute of jumping rope!
Monica thought this guy was talking complete nonsense!
However……
Cheng Hao and Claude had already started dancing and hadn't stopped.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... Ten minutes later, Claude stopped and sat down on the ground.
He is very strong and has great explosive power, but his endurance is average. More importantly, he is heavy, so jumping rope is tiring for him.
What's more, before jumping rope, he had just had a boxing match with Cheng Hao!
Claude, lying on the ground, looked like he had been fished out of the water.
Monica was stunned.
What shocked her even more was that Cheng Hao was still jumping.
Although the rope always tripped Cheng Hao's feet in the end, forcing him to stop, one thing is certain, Cheng Hao persisted in jumping for half an hour.
Then Cheng Hao fell down.
Monica couldn't help but ask, "What are you...doing?"
"We are boxers in training." Cheng Hao said while panting.
"Is the training so hard?" Monica asked.
"This little bit of training is nothing," Cheng Hao said. "Besides, only by training more can you win when fighting others instead of getting your ribs broken."
"Broken ribs?" Monica exclaimed.
Cheng Hao said, "I had my ribs broken last month."
Monica: “…”
Monica admitted that she was jealous of Cheng Hao before.
She has memories of her childhood when her father was always away from home and was not very kind to her. After her parents divorced, she never saw her father again.
She was very dissatisfied with her father. After she arrived, she became even angrier when she found out that Cheng Hao, who was about her age, and Danny, who was younger than her, were living with her father.
Her father would rather raise two unrelated people than take care of her?
Well, she was sure that Cheng Hao and Danny were the ones who didn't want to do it, after all, they didn't have black ancestry.
But now... Monica suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were a little wrong.
She shouldn't be jealous of Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao really works much harder than her!
Her father was actually not very nice to Cheng Hao.
She would never be able to do this kind of training.
"Are you feeling okay?" Cheng Hao asked. He said that deliberately. He had noticed Monica's jealousy of him, so he tried to change her mindset.
"It's okay..." Monica lowered her head: "Thank you for before, if it weren't for you..." If Cheng Hao hadn't helped her when she gave birth, she might have gotten into trouble because she was unwilling to bow to her father.
That's too bad!
"You're welcome." Cheng Hao said, then he got up from the ground, took the bread and started eating.
Monica was stunned: "Didn't you have lunch?" She had just had lunch not long ago!
"I ate and I'm hungry again." Cheng Hao said.
Monica: "..." She finally understood why her father always thought she didn't eat enough...
Monica lived in Old George's house. At first, Old George didn't contact her much in order to avoid quarreling with her. But after Monica felt better and started to go downstairs, Old George had no time to contact her.
