Xiao Ping'an also heard the sound coming from her stomach and covered it a little embarrassedly.
Seeing how adorable he was, Tang Baozhu really wanted to get out of bed and rub his cheeks, but unfortunately, there was someone sitting next to her strictly supervising her, so she didn't dare to move.
"Xiao Ping'an, ask your father to take you to get something to eat. Your mother is about to take a nap."
Li Jun still dotes on his eldest son, after all, he is the first and eldest son, and he has high hopes for him.
Without saying a word, she simply nodded, took his hand, and prepared to take him to get something to eat.
"Mother, you need to rest well, then you can spend time with me again."
Before leaving, Xiao Ping'an didn't forget to give his mother some words of advice, which warmed Tang Baozhu's heart.
"Okay, go eat something."
Tang Baozhu lay on the bed, looking at the children lying beside her. Even though she had been a mother several times, she still felt a softness in her heart and felt happy just looking at the children.
The postpartum period might be very difficult for others, but for Tang Baozhu, there were so many good things that the discomfort wasn't too bad.
We held a proper celebration for the full moon, inviting all the acquaintances and close friends we knew, including the watermelon vendors we sold together with, who brought generous gifts.
Tang Baozhu knew that the reason she brought so many good things was because she wanted her family's watermelon patch, which was now considered a goldmine every year.
Even if others used Tang Baozhu's watermelons, the watermelons grown from the seeds wouldn't taste as good, so their watermelons are truly unique.
After the full moon, we can finally go out and move around. We don't feel it when we can't go out normally, but once we are not allowed to go out for a month, we feel that the days are too hard to bear.
For this reason, Tang Baozhu even went out of her way to take Xiao Ping'an to a private school. She didn't care where he went; he just couldn't stay at home.
Li Jun didn't say anything, but he hasn't gone out much these past two days, staying home to look after his children, especially his two daughters, whom he's grown to love more and more.
After his two daughters turned one month old, it was clear that they would both grow up to be beautiful. He loved to hold his two daughters all the time. Of course, he didn't neglect his son either; on the contrary, he loved both his son and daughter very much.
Li Jun has already decided not to have any more children, so he will only have these four kids in his life. He doesn't show any favoritism towards them, but he might be more inclined to favor his daughter because she will eventually marry into another family.
After the family bought the barren mountain again, their annual income increased several times over. By the time Xiao Ping'an was ten years old, the family was considered relatively wealthy.
Xiao Ping'an was exceptionally clever. When he was ten years old, his teacher wanted him to try to become a student in the imperial examination.
In the end, Tang Baozhu stopped Xiao Ping'an because she thought he was too young. She calculated that if he took the imperial examination at the age of ten, he could take the county-level examination at the age of eleven, and then take the provincial-level examination three years later. If he was lucky, he could take the examination in the capital the following year. If he was unlucky, he would have to wait three years before taking the examination again. At that time, he would still be very young.
Furthermore, there was concern that there might be a case of "the prodigy failing to live up to his potential"—that he was too young and lacked emotional intelligence, making it difficult for him to become an official. Therefore, they wanted him to be a little older before taking the exam, and ultimately postponed it for two years.
Although the teacher in the private school kept saying that Tang Baozhu was too kind-hearted, she was subtly trying to persuade Li Jun to agree to let Xiao Ping'an take the exam.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Li Jun was completely henpecked at home. Once Tang Baozhu made a decision, Li Jun could only support her and never objected.
So even after more than ten years, the two of them still live a sweet and loving life. He can be tolerant of her, and she can also feel sorry for his hard work.
In the end, the father and son had no choice but to settle down. No matter how smart Xiao Ping'an was, he was still just a ten-year-old child, and they couldn't bear to let him take the exam.
By this time, the triplets were already five years old, and Xiao Qiangzi was also preparing to go to a private school. He should have gone much earlier, but he seemed to prefer martial arts to studying.
From a young age, he would find a stick and practice martial arts everywhere. Tang Baozhu saw that he really liked it, so she had a puppet openly teach him martial arts. In order to release the puppet openly, she spent a lot of money, since the household registration issue was still very serious.
At the age of five, Xiao Qiangzi's fighting ability was quite good. At least his physical health was better than that of a normal ten-year-old. At first, he was training his muscles and bones to make his meridians stronger.
Finally, thinking that since I was going to teach one anyway, I might as well teach them all at once. I'll start teaching Xiao Ping'an too, so he can at least have some self-defense skills.
Even his two young daughters weren't spared, despite Li Jun's constant opposition, who felt that girls were too delicate and shouldn't be allowed to learn martial arts; it was simply too unseemly.
Unfortunately, he only dared to mutter it to himself. Tang Baozhu gave him a look, and he dared not say anything more.
Fortunately, I talked to him about it when we went to bed that night. At least if he learns martial arts well, he won't have to worry about being bullied by his in-laws in the future. If he's healthy, he'll be safer when he has a baby, and we'll have less to worry about.
Li Jun knew it was for the good of his two daughters. Although he felt a little sorry for them having to suffer while practicing martial arts, he reluctantly agreed because he couldn't disagree with his wife.
Fortunately, Xiao Ping'an and the two little girls were just by chance. As long as they were healthy and had the ability to protect themselves, that would be fine. The most important one was Xiao Qiangzi. With his level of obsession, Tang Baozhu thought he might want to take the martial arts exam and become a general in the future.
After realizing that she had this idea, he went to the matchmaker and bought about 20 little boys his age, and asked the puppet to train them together.
It can only be said that she is overthinking things as a mother. She will not stifle her children's dreams. If Xiaoqiangzi really wants to become a general to protect the country in the future, then these children are the ones he can entrust with his life.
Later, he felt that having these little boys training with him wasn't enough to protect him, so he bought about ten little girls to teach them medicine, and also to teach them other things that little girls should learn.
You have to understand that on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, so having good medical skills is very valuable. Therefore, a doctor was specially hired to teach them the basics.
After handing in her medical skills, Tang Baozhu decided to hand them in herself. After all, her medical skills were quite good, and she also possessed medical knowledge from other worlds. It could be said that the medical skills she knew were far superior to those in this world.
Although their workload was quite heavy, their treatment was also quite good. In order to prevent them from being unfaithful to the Li family, they were all bought single-person apartments, without any attachments.
