Chapter 172 The Sense of Accomplishment as a Mother



Hong Ya still had a confused expression, but nodded seriously, "When I go to school, I will study hard. I want to know what philosophy means as soon as possible."

Su Ruanruan smiled and touched Hongya's head. "Okay! Then auntie will wait for you to learn it and come back to tell auntie. Then auntie will see if you have learned it correctly."

Hong Ya patted her chest and promised, "I will definitely study hard!"

"Okay! Let's make a pinky promise."

Su Ruanruan said as she raised her right hand and extended her little finger.

Hong Ya also imitated Su Ruanruan, raised her right hand, and gently hooked Su Ruanruan's little finger with her little finger. In this way, the big and the small completed the agreement.

After Hong Ya ran to the side to play with her brother, Niu Guifang looked at Su Ruanruan with great admiration.

"Soft girl, if I hadn't seen with my own eyes that you had just given birth to a child half a year ago, I would have thought you had been coaxing the child for many years. How come you are so good at getting along with children?"

Su Ruanruan couldn't say that this was her experience in the orphanage in her previous life. She could only say, "Maybe this is innate!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Su Ruanruan started laughing.

Niu Guifang agreed, "I think it's innate!"

Looking at Niu Guifang's serious expression, Su Runrun felt a little embarrassed.

Niu Guifang was really too honest. She took the excuse she made seriously and even agreed with it.

Su Ruanruan, feeling somewhat guilty, simply stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll stay here for dinner tonight. I'll go get ready and you can help me look after the brothers and sisters."

After saying this, Su Ruanruan quickly walked into the kitchen.

Niu Guifang wanted to follow, but she was worried about leaving the quadruplets sitting alone on the bamboo bed. She could only helplessly shout, "Soft sister, you don't have to prepare meals for us mothers. We will go back to eat later."

Since they were not far away, Su Runruan of course heard Niu Guifang's words clearly, but Su Runruan pretended not to hear them and continued to prepare the ingredients with Zhao Juanzi.

All the vegetables in the yard are ripe and can be picked. Just picking a few of them can make a table full of delicious meals.

Summer is so great. In this era of material scarcity and inconvenient shopping, it can also make the dinner table full of food.

We didn't eat dinner in the house, but in the yard.

At this time of year, the yard at dusk is not only beautiful but also very cool.

Eating makes people feel happy both physically and mentally.

With four more people eating together, there is naturally a lot more joy.

The funniest thing is the reaction of the quadruplets.

I saw everyone was eating food and rice with chopsticks and their mouths were moving constantly.

The quadruplets watched eagerly, their mouths moving along with the scene, with crystal clear saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.

The reactions of the four of them made Hongya and her two siblings burst into laughter.

After laughing, Hong Ya felt that the quadruplets were a little pitiful, and looked at Su Ruanruan eagerly, "Auntie, can I eat less and let my brothers and sisters eat something?"

Su Ruanruan's heart softened when she heard Hong Ya's words. "Hong Ya is such a good sister. But look, my brothers and sisters don't even have teeth. Even if I want them to eat, they can't."

"Then when will they grow teeth? It's been a long time, why haven't they grown teeth yet?"

Not to mention Hong Ya was curious, even Su Ruanruan was very puzzled.

Whether it was what Niu Guifang said or what she read in the parenting manual, it all said that babies start to grow teeth at around six months old, and some start earlier, at more than five months old.

But the quadruplets are now more than six months old, and there is not even a little white when they climb into the bed.

Just now when Li Bao was sitting on the bamboo bed, Su Runrun took a special look at him. Although he had no teeth, his lower gums had already turned a little white.

Su Ruanruan was just thinking about it when she heard Niu Guifang's voice again.

"I think it's almost time. These little guys have been drooling more frequently recently. It may be because they were born prematurely. They look plump on the surface, but they are actually a little weak. They need to be taken care of slowly."

Listening to Niu Guifang's words of comfort, Su Ruanruan nodded in agreement, "I think so too."

"Soft girl, you haven't given them any complementary food yet, right? In fact, you can steam some egg custard for them, add a little sesame oil, and don't add salt."

Children under one year old are not allowed to eat salt, Su Ruanruan knew this.

However, she does not plan to feed her child steamed egg custard, but instead plans to start adding rice flour and egg yolks to her child's food.

As for egg whites, wait until your child is almost one year old before eating them.

"Rice noodles?" Liu Guifang looked at Su Ruanruan in confusion, "What are rice noodles? Are they similar to milk powder?"

"It's made by grinding fried rice into powder. When feeding it to children, just mix it with boiling water and add crushed egg yolk."

"This way of eating is quite novel, but you can give it a try."

Niu Guifang didn't ask any further questions, just thinking that this was the way of eating in Su Ruanruan's hometown.

Su Ruanruan knew that Niu Guifang would definitely misunderstand, but she did not explain.

After all, there is no way to explain this, so it is better to let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

That night, Su Runrun carefully looked up the recipe for rice noodles. The next day, she asked Zhao Juanzi to look after the child while she was busy in the kitchen for most of the day.

Fortunately, Su Ruanruan has a certain talent in cooking, and making rice noodles is not difficult, so she succeeded in the end.

That afternoon, the quadruplets ate rice noodles with egg yolks.

The quadruplets were so excited when they had complementary food for the first time.

When eating, his little hands and feet were not quiet and he kept patting them around.

If Su Ruanruan and Zhao Juanzi hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, the rice bowls in their hands would have been snatched away by them.

The first time she fed them, Su Ruanruan didn't dare to feed them too much, for fear that they would have trouble digesting the food.

After observing them for a day, she didn't see anything wrong with them the next day. On the contrary, at the same time, they stared at each other eagerly. Su Runrun knew that they were in love.

This is understandable.

Anyone who has been drinking milk powder for half a year would want to eat something different.

Babies are people too!

From that day on, the quadruplets were fed complementary food every afternoon.

After a week, it changed from once in the afternoon to twice a day, but the egg yolk was not added every time, only once every few days.

I don’t know if it was because of the complementary food, but after ten days or so, the quadruplets’ lower gums turned white, and within a few days, little teeth started to emerge.

The moment she saw them growing teeth, Su Runrun felt a great sense of accomplishment and her eyes became moist.

People who have never raised a child will never understand this sense of accomplishment.
