"Third Brother! Help! I know I was wrong! Are you going to take care of Dazhuang tomorrow? And Xiaoman too. This is going to kill me! After this day, my legs are broken! My back is broken! My arms are broken! My feet don't even feel like my own anymore!"
He was the son of a farmer—the Nth generation of farmers—who had toiled on this land since he could crawl. His calluses were so thick that he could easily handle a freshly steamed bun without even needing to shake it twice. The calluses on the soles of his feet were so thick that he could run barefoot in the mountains without getting hurt. Who would have thought that one day, blisters would appear on the soles of his feet? This was simply an insult to him!
But he did get blisters on the soles of his feet. It wasn't that he couldn't stand the pain, but he felt that this day was more tiring than the wheat harvest or the autumn harvest. Taking care of children is not a job that ordinary people can do!
"Um... is it really that serious?"
Lin Chaonan frowned, not quite understanding why everything was broken. He had only spent a day playing with the two children.
"Of course! At least I am! Whether you are or not, you'll find out tomorrow. It's a deal, you'll be watching the child tomorrow!"
After saying that, Lin Chaobei collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), closed his eyes, and fell asleep instantly. Before falling asleep, he reminded Lin Chaonan to wake him up for dinner.
"Third Brother, I'll wash the sheets tomorrow. Don't forget to call me when you're serving dinner!"
After saying that, he started snoring loudly.
Lin Chaonan shook his head, thinking:
The fourth one is no good! He only carried the child around all day, while Dazhuang slept most of the time, and he just collapsed from exhaustion.
The next day, he was proven wrong.
Dazhuang can sleep for about eight hours a day, so his active time is only about four hours. Even if he doesn't sleep for four hours during the day, you can only coax him for four hours. What else can you do?
Dazhuang can't do anything to him, but as soon as he stops, he cries loudly, even when he's asleep, which is quite miraculous.
So, it wasn't just four hours of coaxing; it was a whole day of coaxing, and there wasn't a moment's rest.
Dazhuang used to be a good boy, even Lin Chaodong could take good care of him. How come he changed when it came to his brothers?
This can only be blamed on the fact that on the way back, the two brothers, because they adored Dazhuang, often held him and played with him, and even when he fell asleep, they couldn't bear to put him down to sleep on his own. In addition, the whole journey was in a carriage, and the swaying of the carriage gave the little guy a joy he had never experienced before, so he couldn't stay lying down.
Only at night, when Dazhuang is sound asleep, will he not care about these things. However, he will be restless until very late at night and start making a fuss very early in the morning. Once he wakes up in the morning, he can only be held and rocked. He refuses all other methods, and his way of refusing is by crying.
There's nothing I can do; I have to keep going even if I'm crying.
They had no choice but to persist. Liu had to take care of the housework, Da Niu and Er Hu had to clear land, and Xiao Man'er was still a child herself. They couldn't just shift the blame to their mother, could they?
Even the young men couldn't handle it, how could their mothers, with their old arms and legs, possibly stand it?
After all the calculations, it all comes down to them.
Yue Jiuyue: ??????? I'm not happy
Are you two brothers being polite? Who's old and frail? She's clearly still young, only in her early thirties!
