Su Qingxue checked the time. It was already late. "Dad, I'll go get Zhou Huaian and the kids."
"Okay, go ahead! I forgot about this while talking to you. Go and bring my grandchildren here. Your grandmother often brings the older ones to us, but I haven't seen the two younger ones for a long time. I really miss them."
The most important thing is that it won’t be fun when the children grow up. The three-year-old twins are still young, so now is the time for them to have fun.
Su Qingxue had no idea of her old father's sinister intentions and thought that it was her grandfather who was concerned about her grandson.
I rode my bike towards home, and as soon as I entered the compound, I saw several children in the family running around in the compound.
The children next to me were familiar children from the neighborhood. I still remember taking them to play together. The twins, a boy and a girl, would chase after their older brothers and sisters, running until they were sweating.
Su Qingxue walked towards Zhou Huaian who was standing aside, "We're going to have dinner with my parents tonight. Let's call the children back to wash up first. They're all soaked with sweat. By the way, is Dad back? Let's call them to have dinner together."
Zhou Huaian nodded, then walked towards the children. When the twins saw their mother who had been away for several hours, they ran over impatiently and hugged Su Qingxue's thighs tightly.
Su Qingxue simply carried them into the car, one in front and one behind, and drove home.
The older ones were very obedient and followed the bicycles obediently. Zhou Huaian followed behind the children. It was quite attractive to see them walking home in a row like this.
Although the Zhou family is not the one with the most children in the compound, after all, there are some families with larger populations, but Su Qingxue and his wife are definitely the most enviable blessing.
They gave birth to three children, which means there are seven children in total. If they had kept having children like some couples, they might have had more than seven children.
When I got home, I saw my father-in-law sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. I asked him if he wanted to go there for dinner in the evening.
My father-in-law agreed without hesitation. He and his in-laws got along well. Besides, he was worried about the couple taking so many children with them, and he would not feel at ease unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Seeing that her father-in-law agreed, Su Qingxue went to the kitchen and talked to her mother-in-law and Aunt Liu.
At this time, my mother-in-law and Aunt Liu were preparing dinner in the kitchen. The dishes had already been taken out and some had been cut. But when they heard that we would not be eating at home that night, they quickly put them away and packed everything in clean lunch boxes.
Su Qingxue was glad that she came back just in time. If she had come back a little later, the dishes might have been put into the pot.
I quickly went to give the children a bath. They were all sweaty. The weather wasn't hot yet, so they had to take a hot bath quickly to avoid catching a cold when the weather got warmer.
There were too many children, so Su Qingxue and Zhou Huaian simply bathed them separately. Su Qingxue took her four daughters to bathe upstairs, while Zhou Huaian took his three sons to bathe downstairs.
The five in front were already big enough and could wash themselves clean long ago, so Su Qingxue and Zhou Huaian didn't need to worry about it at all. It was just the smaller one that needed to be handled more carefully.
I changed the children into new clothes that I made for them. They all looked very energetic. Zhou Huaian and I had such good genes that they all looked so good.
The three grown girls would have felt embarrassed if they were kissed by someone else, and they became extremely shy when they were kissed by Su Qingxue.
Sure enough, when the children grow up, they are not fun at all. They are not like the little one. If you kiss one cheek, she will turn around and let you kiss the other one.
When everyone had packed up and were ready to leave, Zhou's mother took the dishes she had just prepared. Together with Liu Ma and Xiao Li, there were eleven people in her family, and she was worried that if she didn't bring more, there wouldn't be enough to eat.
"It's better to go early so that my mother-in-law won't be too busy."
One car simply couldn't hold so many people, so they had to go in two trips, so Zhou's mother planned to take the first trip with Liu's mother, so that they could go earlier and help their in-laws, and they could also squeeze in their four children.
Although it's a bit crowded, there's no one checking this at this time, so just squeeze in.
It only took two trips to bring everyone there.
When Su Qingxue and Zhou Huaian arrived, the table in the living room was already filled with a large table of food.
Her mother and mother-in-law were chatting happily. She thought that they must have gotten along well during the time when she was away. This made Su Qingxue feel much more at ease.
I am always worried that my mother-in-law and I won’t get along well, and it would be a bit uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle.
However, when I think about the fact that my mother-in-law and mother are both sensible people, I feel that my worries are unnecessary.
The dinner in the evening was quite lively. Except for Xiao Li who didn't drink because he had to drive, the other three men continued to drink one cup after another.
Maybe the eldest and second twins had also reached the age of curiosity, and they were curious when they saw their father and grandfather drinking. When no one was paying attention, they dipped a little with chopsticks and put it in their mouths.
Su Qingxue happened to see it and glared at him. Xiaozhi and Xiaorui responded with a playful smile.
He smacked his lips. Maybe the taste of the wine was not very good and the two children could not accept it either, so his face instantly became bitter.
Zhou Huaian also saw the children's actions, but he didn't care about their little movements at all. He was also curious and tried it when he was that age, but later he didn't like it so he rarely drank it. Now he only drinks when he is with his father and father-in-law, otherwise he won't drink.
"Why don't you try it again? You must not be used to it just now. It will definitely not taste the same if you take another sip."
Su Qingxue didn't expect that he would actually encourage the children to drink. Although the two children are now 15 years old, in Su Qingxue's mind, they are still children. She always felt that they were still young and it was not good to drink.
I quietly glared at him, gave him a look, and let him experience it for himself.
Zhou Huaian might have been a little confused at this time. He was drunk, but he was also somewhat sober. He was not drunk, but he dared to encourage the children to try it, so he might be half awake.
"Don't worry, my wife. The kids are just curious. After they try it, they'll realize it's not that good. They won't be curious about it when they go out."
Zhou Huaian would rather the children get drunk next to him than have them get drunk and get into trouble when they are outside because they can't hold their alcohol.
Even Zhou's father, who was listening at the side, nodded in agreement.
Su Qingxue saw that no one else cared too much. Maybe in their eyes, for a child this old, drinking a little was not a big deal, not to mention it was just a taste, so no one objected.
Then he said nothing more.
Fortunately, the two children were very sensible. Maybe they really didn’t like the taste of wine. After tasting it, they frowned and never drank it again.
