After Ping'an was picked up from kindergarten by Zhang Guoqing, he washed his hands without being told, said hello to Zhang's father and the others, and ran to the east wing.
After entering the study, he walked lightly, opened a door between two adjacent rooms, stuck his head in to take a look, and tiptoed to quietly look at the twins in the cradle.
Zhou Jiao was resting with her eyes closed, and she knew her eldest son had returned by the noise. She secretly opened her eyes and saw Xiao Ping'an happily tilting his head and touching his brothers' hands.
"Baby, so happy?"
Ping'an heard the sound and quickly turned around and ran to the kang. "Mom, you're not asleep yet? I was worried about waking you up. Did you miss me?"
Zhou Jiao helped him onto the kang. "Of course I miss the baby. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I miss my mother too. I'm not hungry. I have to save more for her nutrition."
Zhou Jiao, who was fed candy by her son, happily kissed him hard: "Mom's sweet baby! We have no shortage of food at home. Come on, tell mom what you want to eat?"
"Mom, no one will eat until night. I'm not hungry now. Grandma Chen said we'll have dinner when my grandpa comes back. Mom, does your stomach still hurt?" Ping'an asked, frowning as he touched her mother.
"Much better."
"My younger brothers are definitely not as obedient as me, right?"
Zhou Jiao nodded decisively with amusement: "Of course! My stomach aches no longer after I gave birth to you. You are my most caring and sweet baby."
Ping An smiled contentedly after receiving a daily affirmation. He said that as the eldest brother, he must be more filial than his younger brothers who only eat and sleep.
"My younger brothers will become my sweet babies in the future. If they don't behave, I'll beat them."
"Okay, when they grow up a little, you can give them enlightenment and teach them to do horse stance. In the future, others will envy you for having two good brothers."
"Now many of my friends envy me..."
Zhang Guoqing came in and heard his son feeding him candy again. He went over with a wet towel and wiped Ping An's face. "Is it too hot? Can you go to the living room to cool down for a while?"
In order to take good care of Zhou Jiao after her postpartum confinement, he didn't even dare to put more ice trays in the bedroom. Seeing his son's face flushed, he couldn't help but speak again even though he knew that the child would not leave.
"Is it hot? It's not hot at all at home." Ping An quickly shrank back inside and secretly glanced at his parents. "There were kids in my class crying because they were too hot, and their dads took them home."
Zhang Guoqing looked at the actor speechlessly. He knew exactly what he was thinking. "Alright. I'll tell you tomorrow that we won't be going to school during the summer vacation."
"Would that be bad?"
"Or, Dad begs you not to go?"
Ping An jumped up, rushed to Zhang Guoqing, and threw himself on him: "Dad, you are a great father."
"Come, show me if my son has honey on his mouth?"
Zhou Jiao waited for the father and son to settle the matter before talking about business.
"You mean, your master knew that you were pregnant with twins? And that your absence this time was to find a herb for the children to make a medicinal bath?"
Zhou Jiao chuckled foolishly. "Not necessarily. He wasn't sure. He was just worried about the baby's weak constitution, so when he told me that, I urged him to go find medicine. Since the due date hasn't arrived yet, I thought it would be a good time to give the baby a bath when he comes back."
"Then do you know that you almost..." Zhang Guoqing was really angry this time, his face gloomy, "At least you should have told me that there was danger before going to the hospital."
Zhou Jiao knew he would be angry, so she said softly, "Brother, I'm not hiding this from you on purpose. I just don't want you to worry. I know you can't sleep all night. Just because the twins are normal, you've already lost a lot of weight from worrying about it. If you find out there might be risks during the birth, I'm afraid you'll collapse first."
Zhang Guoqing's rage was extinguished by her shaking of his arms and soft whispers, leaving him helpless. His wife...
"Master also told me the truth half a month ago, saying that we need to make more preparations for safety. And..."
Zhang Guoqing sighed inwardly, feeling truly defeated. He asked gravely, "Anything else? Tell me the truth. I'll see how I deal with you once you're out of confinement."
"Hehe...Brother, I told you that you will be happy."
"Oh, go ahead."
"Come on, I'll tell you someone." Zhou Jiao winked at him and waved.
Ping An quit: "Mom, there's still me."
"How about you? You have to promise Mom to keep it a secret."
Ping An patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'm the king of secrets." He patted Zhang Guoqing with his little hand. "Dad, let's hear the secret."
"You're everywhere."
Zhou Jiao patted the kang, stretched her neck to look out the window with a sly look. As soon as Zhang Guoqing sat down with their son in his arms, she quickly leaned over to whisper in his ear: "I won't tell you!"
Ping'an saw his father standing there in a daze and was so amused that he started laughing.
Zhang Guoqing turned his head to look at the twins in the cradle with a helpless smile. Seeing that they were not awakened, he finally freed his hands to deal with the "scam" in front of him.
"Wife, you're amazing! You actually dared to be naughty. Tell me, how should I punish you?" Zhang Guoqing patted Ping'an's butt. "Son, bring me that notebook."
Ping An's eyes wandered between the two of them: "How many times do you want to remember this time?"
"I'll tell you now."
"Don't give me that. Follow the rules. I'll count it as three times this time. Isn't that too much?"
Zhou Jiao looked at him with resentment, "You did it three times for one joke, how inhumane." She reached out to pinch his face, "Is he my man? I need to check if he's been switched."
Zhang Guoqing was no longer angry at this moment. After being teased by his wife, he could no longer hold back his laughter. He hugged her and took a bite.
Ping An quickly covered his eyes: "I didn't see it, I really didn't see it..."
Zhang Guoqing kissed his son on the face, which made Ping An grin with joy.
Zhou Jiao blushed and glanced at him sideways: "Don't teach my son bad things. I stink all over. You have such a strong taste!"
"No, I'm still your sweet and soft little wife." Zhang Guoqing leaned over to her ear and said, "Wife, there are still fifty-two days left."
Zhou Jiao quickly pinched his waist and was about to grab a handful when she suddenly sighed: "You have lost too much weight. This time, take good care of yourself with me."
"Okay." Zhang Guoqing didn't want her to worry, so he pulled his son over and changed the subject. "Baby, have you decided on a nickname for your little brother? A lot of people have asked about it."
Finally it was his turn. When Ping An mentioned his brothers' nicknames, he felt a little worried: "Dad, how about June 1st or May 1st?"
Zhang Guoqing tilted his head. "Why do you sound like you're my peer? I'm Xiaowu, and then the next string of numbers? Wouldn't your Uncle Dayi be overjoyed?"
Ever since Ping An suddenly had the idea last night and said he wanted to give the twins nicknames according to their birth weight, Zhou Jiao hadn't thought of this yet. Now that she hears it, isn't it?
Zhou Jiao burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Zhang Guoqing gently stroked her back to calm her down, then smiled at his aggrieved son and said, "Dad was just joking. This nickname is very good, easy to pronounce and representative. But it would be even better if it could be connected to your nickname. When outsiders hear it, they will think, oh, we are three brothers."
"Mom..." Ping'an was so annoyed that he decided to ask his mother for help.
Zhou Jiao touched the top of his head and said, "That's a good nickname. Ping'an, Zi'an, Ru'an, Ankang, Tailai, etc., are all right? Think about it."
Zhang Guoqing understood his wife's thoughts better than anyone else, "Everything will go as we wish."
