"You're back! Dinner's ready, let's eat first, then we'll talk."
Lu Yi nodded and went inside to help Ye Ran serve the dishes.
Qingzhu glanced at Chen Zheng and said, "Are you back to your senses? If you are, hurry up and eat. You'll have a lot to do after you finish eating."
Chen Zheng nodded, greeted Director Huang and the others, and then sat down to eat.
Seeing Chen Zheng's pale face, Yan Xiu'er asked with concern, "Little Chen, are you alright? Why do you look so pale?"
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, Auntie, I'm just hungry."
Qingzhu chuckled softly, but said nothing. "Auntie, let me hold Zhengzheng. You've had a long day with him."
Yan Xiu'er smiled and handed Zhengzheng to Qingzhu's arms. "Qingzhu, you are much more cheerful than before, and your face is not as serious as it used to be."
That's exactly how it should be. You're so young and good-looking; just a slight smile and Zhengzheng and Jiaojiao will both like you.
Qingzhu smiled and teased Zhengzheng, "Grandma said you like me, right, Zhengzheng?"
Zhengzheng gave Qingzhu a cute smile, and Qingzhu immediately said in surprise, "Auntie, Zhengzheng has grown teeth."
Yan Xiu'er said with a smile, "It's the time when they're teething. Their teeth have been very itchy these past few nights. They have to bite on something and play with it in their mouths for a long time before going to sleep. And they don't get up until very late the next day."
As a result, I also started sleeping late and waking up late along with them.
Hearing these casual words, Chen Zheng felt more relaxed, and his complexion improved considerably. "No wonder I didn't see Auntie this morning."
Just as Yan Xiuer was about to say something, she heard a crying voice coming from inside, "Jiaojiao is awake, I'll go and carry her out for dinner."
By the time Yan Xiuer brought Jiaojiao out, they had already started eating.
Ye Ran walked over and wanted to hug Jiao Jiao. "Mom, go eat, I'll hold her."
Yan Xiuer held the child tightly without letting go, saying, "You eat first. You worked hard cooking. I'll hold the child."
Seeing the two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, arguing back and forth, Lu Yi smiled and stepped forward, "Let me do it. You two have both worked hard. Jiaojiao, how about Daddy carries you?"
Before Yan Xiu'er could say anything, Jiao Jiao laughed and threw herself into Lu Yi's arms.
Lu Yi lovingly held his daughter and sat down at the table. Ye Ran placed two bowls of steamed eggs in front of Lu Yi and Qingzhu.
"Perfect timing. Today is the first time we're feeding Jiaojiao and Zhengzheng solid food. I steamed some egg custard for them. You two can feed them."
Qingzhu panicked a little. "How can I feed a child if I've never fed one before?"
Ye Ran looked at him amusedly, "What's the big deal? They'll eat it the same way you eat it. Just blow on the steamed egg custard to cool it down and put it near their mouths."
Qingzhu stiffly picked up a spoon, scooped up a large spoonful of egg, and started blowing on it. Chen Zheng, who was next to her, laughed and said, "Such a big spoonful, Zhengzheng probably can't finish it, right?"
Qingzhu paused in her blowing motion, then casually put the bowl back in, scooped up a small spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to Zhengzheng.
The two babies, who had been drinking milk all along, had been drooling over the food the adults were eating. Now that they could finally eat it, both of them were quite excited.
After finally getting a bite of the egg, both children couldn't help but laugh and kick their little legs...
