Chapter 555 Extra: The Filial and Sensible Quintuplets' Deep Love for Their Parents
Now that Lin Luoxi and the others have finally returned, how could they not be happy?
"Second brother, third brother..., Mom and Dad are back. Quickly prepare hot water and food."
After confirming that the people at the door were Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, Xie Zhili immediately shouted into the house.
"What? 'Mom and Dad are back?'"
"Okay, let's go right now!"
"Mom and Dad, take a shower first, and there will be food when you come out."
No sooner had Xie Zhili finished speaking than a cacophony of footsteps and excited voices filled the room.
Upon seeing Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, they both ran towards the kitchen.
Xie Zhiyan was very strong. When he saw Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan return, he immediately carried two large buckets of hot water to Lin Luoxi's room.
"Father, Mother, here's hot water. Take a shower quickly, or you'll catch a cold." The young boy warmly pushed Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, who were standing there in a daze, into the room.
"Oh, good!" Lin Luoxi really didn't expect that after they were away for half a month, when they came back, the children had become much more sensible and had taken good care of them.
Thinking about how she had personally cared for such a tiny little person all along, and now that he had grown up and become more filial, her feelings were naturally different.
"Doesn't it feel incredibly warm and cozy?" Xie Hanchuan noticed that Lin Luo's eyes were slightly red, and he knew what he was thinking.
"Hmm, so this is what it feels like to raise a child." At this moment, Lin Luoxi finally understood why it's so important to have your own child. All the hardships she had endured before were now fully realized.
"Hehe, let's go. If we don't take a shower soon, the water will get cold and those kids will start nagging us again." Xie Hanchuan, afraid that Lin Luoxi would shed tears, quickly changed the subject.
The two entered the bathhouse, soaked in the bathtub, and comfortably closed their eyes.
For the past two weeks, I've been constantly traveling in the rain, which has made me quite damp and exhausted.
Now, soaking in hot water, I feel truly alive again.
"Wife, the children are calling us for dinner." Xie Hanchuan, who was resting in another private room, heard Xie Zhili calling them for dinner outside. He went next door to call Lin Luoxi for dinner.
Upon entering, he was struck by the sight of a beautiful woman bathing, nearly causing him to spit blood from his nose and his lower abdomen to bulge instantly.
But thinking of how tired he had been working outside for half a month, he gently picked up Lin Luoxi and carried her to the bed. He wiped her body, dried her hair, and dressed her before waking her up.
"Hmm, how did I fall asleep?" Lin Luoxi, who was woken up, looked at Xie Hanchuan with her eyes still half asleep.
All she remembered was that the water temperature in the bathtub was just right, and it felt incredibly comfortable, as if all the pores on her body had been opened up. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
"She's probably just too tired." Xie Hanchuan felt a pang of heartache when he saw the dark circles under Lin Luoxi's eyes.
Let's go!
Realizing she was dressed, she glanced shyly at Xie Hanchuan, kissed his cheek, got up, put on her shoes and socks, and pulled Xie Hanchuan out the door.
"Father, Mother, come and eat." Xie Zhili, who was serving rice, saw Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan come in hand in hand and immediately placed the rice he had served in front of them.
"Mmm, you guys are really amazing, you've made a whole table of my favorite dishes." Looking at the table full of her favorite foods, Lin Luoxi's appetite was whetted.
After eating dry biscuits for half a month, Lin Luoxi finally got home and had a hot meal. She no longer cared about her image and started eating large mouthfuls of dry rice.
Even Xie Hanchuan was no exception; he didn't say much, picked up his bowl, and ate the vegetables and rice in big mouthfuls.
After finishing a bowl of rice, I finally felt a little bit full.
Knowing that Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were hungry, the children looked at them with concern. Afraid that Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan wouldn't be able to serve them enough food, they stood up to help them.
"Alright, let's eat and go take a nap. We'll still have a lot to do when we wake up." After eating and drinking their fill, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan put down their bowls, stood up, rubbed their stomachs, and walked towards their room.
After a full meal, it's natural to need a good nap.
"Our parents must be exhausted." Seeing Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi, who hadn't even had a chance to say a few words to them, the five children felt extremely sorry for them.
"So we'll keep our movements quiet so that our parents can get a good night's sleep." Xie Zhili, as the eldest brother, took the lead in teaching his younger siblings.
"Okay!" After the five children finished eating and washed the dishes, they continued to work in the kitchen.
"Brother, how many steamed buns are we going to make?" Xie Leyao exclaimed in surprise when she saw Xie Zhili mix a large bag of flour.
"Steam more so that when Mom and Dad go out, they can take some to eat whenever they want!" Xie Zhili waved his hand dismissively and continued kneading the dough.
"Second Brother, how many crabs and lobsters are you planning to earn?" Xie Zhiyan asked, looking at the ten-layer steamer basket where he was still washing the crabs and lobsters.
Xie Leyao couldn't believe that there were at least fifty large crabs weighing two or three pounds each and fifty large lobsters weighing four or five pounds each in the steamer.
They're still washing them. Are they planning to steam all the lobsters and crabs that Mom just brought out?
"Little sister, didn't Mother say that my brother-in-law, Wenjin's brother-in-law, and Uncle Xiaofeng are also coming? Let's prepare some extra food so that Father and Mother can send some to them as well, so they can have enough to eat." Xie Zhiyan was quite thoughtful.
"Then I'll help too!" Xie Leyao grabbed a pig-slaughtering knife, ran to the pigpen not far from the kitchen, and slaughtered a 200-pound pig all by herself.
"Little sister, what, what..." Xie Zhichu heard the pigs' screams from the pigpen and ran over to see Xie Leyao carrying a 200-pound pig out.
"Didn't my older brother say that my uncle and the others are coming too? It's raining so hard now, it's inconvenient for them to eat anywhere. So let's make more so that Mom and Dad can take it over." Xie Leyao patted her chest generously, carried the big pig to the eaves outside the kitchen, and started scalding the pig hair with boiling water and scraping off the hair.
"Do you need my help?" Xie Zhichu asked softly, looking at the pig that was twice his size.
"Not for now, Fourth Brother. Aren't you a great cook? Cook some extra, plate it up, and let Mother take it with her."
"Rainy days can make people irritable, so eat more vegetables to cool down!" Xie Leyao saw that Xie Zhichu still didn't understand what he was going to do, so she directly assigned him tasks.
"Okay!" Stir-frying is cleaner than slaughtering a pig and scraping off its hair. Xie Zhichu, who is a bit of a germaphobe, ran to get the vegetables that Lin Luoxi had just brought out and started washing them.
Xie Zhiheng didn't say anything, quietly killing one chicken after another, planning to make more poached chicken, chicken with pork belly, and chicken stew with mushrooms, so that Lin Luoxi could have a good nourishing meal.
