Chapter 178: Booming 178 But I quite like the taste...
The room was warm. Little Niannian sat in his mother's arms, kicking his legs. Zhang Yuqing filled a bottle with warm water and gave it to him to drink. "I see that both brothers are very active, but the younger one is a little more reserved than the older one."
Gu Qingqing held the bottle and stuffed it into her son's mouth, saying with a smile, "That's right, Dabao is really noisy. My second brother once said that the nephew looks like his uncle, so I wondered if there would be one who looks like my eldest brother, but in the end, he looks like Goudan."
Zhang Yuqing added with a smile: "Maybe they took after their mother."
Gu Qingqing curled her lips and said, "I thought I was quite well-behaved when I was a child."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Lianxin and the old lady both laughed out loud, and Dabao in the old lady's arms also clapped his hands on the table and laughed along.
Gu Qingqing muttered a few words and took the bottle away from her son's mouth. The little guy would easily pee if he drank too much water and milk powder. The weather was cold now, so diapers dried quickly. The wet diaper from last night had just been washed and was still hanging next to the stove in the kitchen to dry.
Shi Rushuang brought two pairs of small shoes, which were only half-crocheted. She bent down and tried them on her little grandson's feet. They fit perfectly.
"That's perfect. No need to modify them. I'll put on a harder sole tonight. Tuantuan and Nian Nian will be able to walk soon. Soft-soled shoes are not easy to walk in."
"I'll do whatever you say."
Tuantuan used to sleep during the day and make noises at night, but now Gu Qingqing rarely lets them sleep during the day and always holds them in her arms and plays with them. At around eight o'clock in the evening, the two brothers rub their eyes and lie on their father and mother's shoulders to go to sleep.
They had a late breakfast and a late lunch, so they didn't have lunch until around 2:00 p.m. After lunch, Han Lianxin and Zhang Yuqing cleaned up the table. Shi Rushuang took her daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren to visit the homes of Tiezuan, Tieshi and other cousins.
The two little guys were so fair and tender that they were so adorable. When they came back, there was another stack of red envelopes inside their quilt.
Gu Qingqing was really sleepy, and said to the person next to her: "Mother, I have to go upstairs to sleep for a while. Please call me when it's time for dinner."
"Okay, go to bed. A'dai, please bring a charcoal stove and a warm bottle upstairs, as we're worried that the eldest and second baby will want to drink milk powder." Shi Rushuang added a few pieces of charcoal into the stove and said to her son-in-law.
"good."
They went upstairs, one after the other, carrying the children. Gu Qingqing put Tuan Tuan and Niannian on the bed and undressed the two children. Then the man went back downstairs to carry the things.
When he came back, the house was warm and the heavy curtains were drawn, blocking out the cold snowy scene outside.
The man smiled and poured a glass of water, saying, "I'm still used to the room where you slept since you were a kid. Even though it's not as big as this one, and the windows are covered with newspapers so you can't see outside clearly, it's just comfortable."
Gu Qingqing looked up at him and said, "You only stayed for a few days when we got married, so you're used to it?"
The man remained calm, "That room smells like you."
Gu Qingqing tucked the two little guys into the quilt, and they climbed up by themselves. She didn't take off their clothes to prevent them from freezing, and she didn't care and let the two brothers crawl around.
"Really? So I don't smell now?"
"It's different. It used to smell like soap, but now it smells like... milk." The man swallowed the water, his Adam's apple rolling, and with his bony hands he put the enamel cup back on the small table next to him. He then sat on the edge of the bed, with his left leg tiptoeing on the ground and his right leg slightly bent and resting on the edge of the bed.
He tilted his head to talk to the woman, looking at the two kids with a smile in his eyes: "But I quite like the taste of this."
The woman half leaned in his arms and snorted softly: "Then you can hold Tuan Tuan and Nian Nian to sleep at night. They also have this smell."
"Different." Chu Dai hugged her from behind, passed his slender fingers through her fingers, held her soft hand in his palm, and whispered in her ear: "I like you more..."
After hearing what he said, the woman's cheeks flushed and she couldn't help but remind him: "The two babies are still here, please control yourself."
"Well," the man rested his chin on her head and sighed, "I'll try my best."
The two kids were able to play by themselves. The bed was surrounded by chair backs. Gu Qingqing felt a little sleepy, so she said to the man, "I'm going to take a nap."
Chu Dai nodded: "Go to sleep, I'll watch over them."
Only then did Gu Qingqing feel at ease to take off her coat and get into bed.
Tuan Tuan and Niannian were crawling around on the bed. The older brother was naughty and liked to touch his younger brother's face, often being greeted by his younger brother's wet little mouth.
The man lowered his eyes to look at the woman's profile, and could not help but reach out and touch it, causing her to frown and mutter something, while his eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy.
But it didn't last long, because both sons twisted and turned to crawl towards him, and one of them drooled on his pants.
He grabbed one with each hand, held it in his arms and let them sit on his lap facing each other. Little Niannian didn't sit steadily and fell on his brother, saying "Pigeon~Pigeon~"
Tuan Tuan's chubby little hands patted his fallen brother on the head.
Chu Dai got a little more energetic when he saw the two brothers fighting. He leaned on the bedside with a smile on his face and watched Xiao Niannian stretch out his calf to fight back.
He is an only child and has only cousins. Since they did not grow up in the same compound, they are not very close. The only people he has played with since he was a child are Chu Zhao and Bai Yan.
Thinking of Bai Yan, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips, which were originally raised because of the two soft little balls, gradually straightened.
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a wet and warm feeling on his cheeks. He came to his senses and saw two little guys, one on each side, sticking their butts out, climbing up his shoulders and kissing his face.
Chu Dai didn't hesitate to give each of his sons a kiss. He waved his hands and giggled, with his eyes and eyebrows smiling like a little woman.
The other one had already fallen off his legs and was crawling into his mother's arms, seeking milk for himself.
Although Gu Qingqing was still sleeping, she pulled up her clothes skillfully, and Xiaobao immediately lay over and sucked them with relish.
The big and the small were left looking at each other. Tuantuan also screamed and wanted to get off the man, but he slapped her on the butt.
The man's eyes were dark and unclear, his Adam's apple was rolling up and down, and it was difficult to look away. He covered his eldest son's eyes with his hands, and it was unknown who he was coaxing: "Be good, we won't look at you, and we won't be greedy."
Gu Qingqing slept until after five o'clock. The younger one fell asleep after eating, and the older one fell asleep next to his younger brother after being fed with milk powder by the man.
She yawned and found the man's thin arm around her waist. She tilted her head back slightly and rubbed his warm face.
"Awake?" he asked.
"...Hmm." Gu Qingqing yawned again, "What time is it?"
The man raised his hand and looked: "It's half past five, are you getting up?"
Gu Qingqing was reluctant to leave the warm bed: "Mother hasn't called us for dinner yet, how about we sleep a little longer?" she suggested.
The man nodded and made a gesture to get up: "You go to sleep, I'll go to the kitchen to light the fire."
Gu Qingqing held his arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "No, we have several children now, and you are still as diligent as when you first came."
"Isn't this what you should do?" He put on his socks, picked up the coat on the back of the chair next to him, leaned over and kissed her: "You should sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Gu Qingqing stood up slightly and hugged his waist, with her face pressed against his back: "Stay with me for another two minutes, time it."
The man couldn't help laughing.
"Duk-duk——" there was a knock on the door.
The man glanced at the woman behind him, and she obediently let go of his hand. He smiled even more deeply and went to open the door.
"Auntie." He nodded slightly.
"Hey, your third aunt just steamed some jujube flower cakes and asked me to bring them to the kids first." She leaned in and knocked: "Is Tuantuan Niannian awake? Where's Qingqingbao?"
The man looked back and saw that the little woman had already crawled into the quilt, with her head not even showing. He said helplessly, "She's in the quilt."
"Well, we had lunch late, and we won't have dinner until around seven or eight in the evening. You can give this to the kids first. If Qingqing wants to sleep, let her sleep a little longer. Women tend to be lack of energy after giving birth, and they'll be even more sleep deprived if they have to take care of the kids at night. Don't say anything to her." Han Lianxin warned.
Qingqing was raised in the palm of her family's hand since she was a child. She was pregnant and gave birth to twins alone on a remote southern island. It is easy to imagine how hard it was. Everyone in her family loved her very much. Now she has to take care of two children. She was afraid that Chu Dai would not understand Qingqing's hard work.
"Aunt, I know everything." Chu Dai didn't say that he was the one who took care of the children at night. Qingqing had indeed suffered a lot after marrying him, and he felt that he owed her. He said solemnly, "I will treat Qingqing well."
Han Lianxin nodded with satisfaction and handed him the cake in her hand, "I still have to go knead the dough and bake the cakes. Qingqingbao loves the cakes I make. You won't be staying at home for many days, so I thought I would let her eat more. You can also bring more back when you go back."
"Okay, thank you, Second Aunt." Chu Dai did not refuse her kindness. He waited until her footsteps disappeared from the stairs before closing the door.
Looking at the two soft pieces of jujube flower cake in the large bowl, he felt very happy.
I feel comfortable every moment at Gu's house. The aunties are very sincere and warm-hearted, and they treat Qingqing and the two children with all their heart.
He loves the whole village because he loves the whole village. He feels at home here. No wonder his father has come to Datunzi Village to celebrate the New Year in the past two years and will probably come here next month as well.
That's good. The whole family can come over then. Now that he has been transferred to the Navy Command, he is not as busy as before.
After returning to the Southern Military Region, he had to find a military doctor to ask if the one-year-old baby could drink fresh milk. Today is the 17th, and the 23rd Regiment will be one year old. If he can drink it, he plans to order fresh milk. If not, it will be put on hold for now.
"Brother?" Gu Qingqing poked her head out from under the quilt again, "What did Second Aunt say to you?" The two kids had just woken up, and she was hiding under the quilt and playing hide-and-seek with them.
The two little guys also crawled out from under the quilt, stretched out their hands to their father and babbled: "Hold me~"
"I sent some date cakes and told them not to scold you if you fall asleep." The man put down the bowl, and when the two children took off their clothes, he picked up his eldest son and gave him a small sweater to wear.
"Take care of the piss first. Tuantuan didn't wet the bed this afternoon." The woman reminded.
"Put on some clothes before you go out. It's cold outside." He put clothes and small shoes on his son, and carried him out in his thin, strong arms.
There is a bathroom next to it, but it is warmer inside the room. When you go out, there is a cold wind. I don’t know if it is coming in through the gaps in the window.
