Grandpa He picked up a sausage and ate it while saying to Grandma He, "Didn't we all believe in not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping in the past? But look at us now, don't we also chat while eating? Now that we are in the countryside, we don't have to pay so much attention to rules and etiquette. The most important thing is that the whole family is happy.
Besides, Ning Yi and Huixian are not conservative people. As long as they see Xiaoshu living happily, they will definitely be happy too."
Grandma He didn't care much about this matter in the first place. She just mentioned it casually when she saw He Jinshu's expression today. After hearing what Grandpa He said, she cared even less about it. So she followed Grandpa He's example and took a sausage and started eating it.
You know what, this sausage tastes really good. No wonder the whole yard is filled with fragrance.
On the other side, the two little kids in the kitchen were also eating with their mouths full of grease. After finishing one sausage, they said to He Jinshu, who came back and took another sausage and was eating it, "Dad, I want more."
He Jinshu gave each of them half a stick and said, "Each person can only eat half a stick. You still need to eat later."
"Father, half a sausage too." He Sixuan pointed at the sausage in He Jinshu's hand and said, meaning that He Jinshu could only eat half a sausage.
After hearing this, He Jinshu said to his sons, "You are still too young. Eating too much will easily cause diarrhea. When you grow as tall as your father, you can eat more."
He Sixuan took the sausage from He Jinshu's hand, his eyes rolled around, and then he said to He Jinshu obediently: "Okay, Father."
He Siyi, who was standing by, looked at the half sausage in his hand, then at the one in He Jinshu's hand. He felt that he could have just one more sausage, but it seemed like what He Jinshu said was right, so he also said, "I understand, Father."
After finishing half a sausage, He Sixuan asked He Jinshu to help him and his brother wash their hands and mouths, and take off the greasy bib around their necks. Then he took his brother to the main room.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen said to them, "The meal is almost ready, you two just stay here."
He Sixuan's short legs paused after hearing Chen Chen's words. He turned around holding his brother's hand, pointing outside and saying to Chen Chen in a baby voice, "Look for Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen said, "Grandma is busy. Let's go to the main hall together after Dad finishes cooking."
He Jinshu watched the conversation between Chen Zhen and his son, and asked a little confusedly: "A Zhen, why don't you let the children go to the main hall?"
"If we go to the main hall and we're not there, they will definitely ask grandpa and grandma for sausages." Chen Chen explained to He Jinshu.
"Why do you think so?" He Jinshu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm their father, so of course I know what they're thinking." Chen Chen said proudly, and then added with a smug look on his face, "And all of their tricks are leftovers from my past, so naturally I know them all clearly."
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu jokingly said, "What trick? Cheating and deceiving?"
"How can this be called fraud?" Chen Chen retorted, "This is called taking advantage of information asymmetry to profit from the price difference."
He Jinshu was no longer surprised by his twisted logic. He simply put his two sons back on the stool next to him and said to them, "Stay here and wait for your father to cook. Then we will go find our great-grandparents."
He Sixuan sat on his stool in a depressed mood. He couldn't understand how his father knew that he wanted to go to the main hall to find his grandfather and "trick" him into eating another sausage.
He Siyi thought that next time he would say he was full after eating the first sausage, and then secretly run to the main room to ask Grandma He for another one. This way, his father would not find out, and he could eat two sausages.
In fact, Chen Zhen didn't stop them from eating more. The main reason was that the sausages he made today were all pure meat, and each one was quite large. It was also evening, and he was afraid that they would suffer from indigestion if they ate too much, which would be bad for their health, so he stopped them from eating too much.
At dinner time, the family had another hearty meal before washing up and going to bed.
In the room, Chen Chen coaxed his son to sleep while discussing with him: "You two will be one year old soon, and it's time for you to learn to be independent. Starting tonight, can you two sleep in the crib together?"
"No, I want to sleep with daddy." He Sixuan retorted in a baby voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen continued to coax him, "If you always sleep with your father, you won't grow tall in the future. Besides, letting you sleep in the small bed doesn't mean you have to leave this room. You can still see your father when you wake up. Let's sleep in the small bed tonight, okay?"
After hearing this, He Sixuan hid in Chen Zhen's arms, then grabbed his collar and said, "No, sleep with Daddy."
Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Chen Zhen compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll hold you, and you go to sleep."
After watching his son fall asleep, Chen Chen complained to He Jinshu beside him: "We don't just have two extra sons, we have two extra ancestors."
He Jinshu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. As his son was getting older, he didn't sleep as soundly as before, and any noise would easily wake them up, so the two of them hadn't slept together for a while.
This was probably partly why Chen Zhen wanted to persuade them to sleep in the small bed. In fact, it was not only Chen Zhen who thought about it.
So he said to Chen Chen, "Why don't you take them to their cribs tonight while they're sound asleep? It should be fine once they get used to it."
When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately agreed, and then he and He Jinshu carefully placed the two sons on the small bed next to them.
After putting it down, they also lowered the partition curtain, and then the two of them tiptoed back to the bed. Unexpectedly, as soon as they lay down, they heard He Sixuan crying from the other side of the bed.
They both hurriedly got out of bed, opened the partition curtain and saw their eldest son sitting on the small bed with a sleepy look on his face, and their youngest son sitting beside him with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Chen hurried forward and wanted to pick up He Sixuan to comfort him, but He Sixuan refused him and cried, "Dad, you are bad."
Chen Zhen was stunned when he heard this. Why did I become bad?
Seeing this, He Jinshu said, "Azhen, come and hold Siyi."
After saying that, he picked up He Sixuan and went back to the big bed while coaxing him.
Chen Zhen then picked up He Siyi and carried him back to the big bed.
He Siyi rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Chen Chen sadly, "Dad, you guys, don't do that to me and my brother."
Does that mean you don’t want me and my brother anymore?
After hearing this, Chen Zhen didn't know where his son got this idea from, so he explained to him: "It's not that I don't want you, it's just that children and adults have to sleep separately in the morning and at night. Dad just wants to train you in the ability to live independently in advance."
He Siyi nodded, not quite understanding, and then said, "Sleep with dad and father, don't separate."
What he meant was that he and his younger brother wanted to sleep with their father and didn't want to be separated.
