Sanbao looked at his two younger brothers, who had been thoroughly tricked by their father, and then at his father, who had tricked his son and was still looking gloating. He sighed heavily in his heart.
With such a foolish brother and such a childish, mischievous, and unreliable father, it seems the prosperity and growth of the family can only be entrusted to myself.
Without him, this family would be in complete chaos.
"Dad, take the second and third sons to wash their hands."
Lu Yuan naturally refused, saying, "They can wash themselves."
Sanbao insisted, "You take them to wash."
Lu Yuan made an excuse, "I need to breastfeed Sibao."
Sanbao looked at his two silly younger brothers who were still crying but had their hands on the other person's bottom and dared not move, and encouraged them, "Let Dad take you to wash your hands. If Dad doesn't want to, just drag him there."
"oh!"
Da Bao and Er Bao gave a blank "oh" sound, and finally moved their hands that were on their two younger brothers' bottoms, turning to pull Lu Yuan instead.
"Dad, take us to wash our hands."
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the two small, colorful hands reaching out to him, and he jumped back a great distance instantly.
"Come on, let's go wash up. Stop pulling and tugging."
Sanbao specifically instructed, "Dad, you wash them yourself, and make sure they're thoroughly cleaned with soap."
Lu Yuan knew perfectly well that his son was trying to annoy him, so how could he agree to that?
"Dad, I'm going to ask Da Bao and Er Bao later. If you didn't wash their hands, I'll tell Mom what you did wrong when she comes out."
Wen Moxue went into the space to wash her hair and take a bath, otherwise Lu Yuan wouldn't dare to trick his son.
Hey, this kid is threatening his own father! That's outrageous! Is he the kind of person who's afraid of being threatened?
"Okay, I understand."
Regardless of what they really thought, they readily agreed.
However, they made a completely different set of rules.
He went to the kitchen, picked up a ladle, carried a bucket of water to the vegetable garden behind, and called to the two crying children following behind him.
"You two brats, hurry up!"
The two little ones wanted to hurry up; they felt not just that their hands smelled bad, but that their whole bodies smelled bad.
When they arrived at the vegetable garden, Lu Yuan used a ladle to scoop up a ladle of water and rinsed the hands of the two little ones.
"You guys rub it yourselves."
The two little ones refused, otherwise their other little hand, which wasn't smelly yet, would become smelly too.
"Daddy, rub it!"
Da Bao and Er Bao spoke in unison.
Lu Yuan chuckled, wanting to refuse directly, but worried that the two little ones would tell Sanbao that he wouldn't help with the washing, so he began his big lie.
He pretended to be struggling as he held the water ladle with both hands.
“The ladle is too heavy. I’ll use both hands to scoop water for you. Let’s divide the work. I’ll help with rinsing, and you can scrub yourselves.”
“But if we rub it ourselves, our clean hands will get dirty,” Da Bao asked.
Lu Yuan shrugged. "Your father can't help you with this. You'll have to figure it out yourselves."
The two little ones immediately looked distressed and were on the verge of tears again. What could they possibly do?
Erbao really cried and touched Dabao's dirty hand.
"Waaah, we have no choice but to wash our dirty hands with our dirty hands."
Da Bao started crying again, "Waaah, Daddy, we really have no other way."
The two little ones cried and rubbed their hands together in the water Lu Yuan had poured down, saying there was nothing they could do.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "You guys rub each other's hands together, isn't that the solution?"
The two little ones looked at each other in confusion, then at their little hands, which seemed to have already been washed away.
It turns out this really works. The crying gradually subsided.
Lu Yuandao said, "Alright, stop howling. You're all older brothers now. If you keep howling, your four younger brothers will laugh at you."
The two little ones immediately shut up, and didn't forget to remind Lu Yuan, "Dad, don't tell your brothers that we cried."
Lu Yuan didn't agree immediately, but instead negotiated, "Then you can't tell your older brother that I didn't wash your hands."
The two little ones, their eyes still misty with tears, looked completely bewildered. "Didn't Daddy help us rinse off the water?"
"Yes, isn't this also helping us wash our hands?"
Lu Yuan laughed, "Yes, yes, I helped you wash."
He put the water ladle into the bucket, then casually took out a bar of soap from his pocket—actually from his spatial storage—and handed it to the two little ones.
"Wash your little hands with soap so they can be thoroughly clean."
The two little ones quickly took it, applied a thick layer, and then rubbed it to make lots of bubbles before stopping.
Lu Yuan's lips twitched as he watched. Who would dare to waste soap like that? Washing your hands like that could make you lose several sizes.
He underestimated the two little ones, thinking that one wash would be enough, but the two little ones washed him again and again.
Finally, when there was only half left of a brand new bar of soap, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Alright, if you keep washing, you'll both get all scrubbed raw."
Da Bao and Er Bao carefully smelled their own hands, and then let each other smell them, only stopping when they confirmed that they really didn't smell bad and actually smelled nice.
When the father and his two sons returned home, Sanbao had already expertly cleaned up his two younger brothers who had soiled themselves.
Don't let his small size fool you; he's strong and agile, making these tasks effortless for him.
Seeing that the four little ones were already asleep, Lu Yuan was even more gratified. Sanbao was a better older brother than they were as parents.
I can't help but praise, "Sanbao is really amazing!"
Sanbao remained expressionless, unmoved by such unoriginal praise.
"Big brother is amazing!"
"Big brother is amazing!"
Da Bao and Er Bao patted their freshly washed, fragrant hands and praised them, their eyes sparkling with genuine admiration.
