More than a month later, the weather gradually turned cooler.
Qingzhiyuan ushered in an important moment: Tuantuan was about to give birth.
Back when Tuantuan was pregnant, Changning had Xiaokangzi catch that male cat. It was also a lion cat, and it was quite majestic and imposing. It had heterochromia and a ring of fur around its neck, making it look a bit like a lion.
But Changning always felt that he was like a frivolous young man who had stolen the cabbages from his own home.
However, Tuantuan was very protective of her husband. Every time Yuzhu fed her meat, she would let her husband eat first, which made Changning furious.
How come my pet is still so love-struck?
Having no other choice, Changning had to take in the male cat and raise the two cats together.
Hutu complained that Tuantuan had a male kitten and didn't play with her much anymore.
Changning said, "This is what it means to be love-struck. Daughter, you must never be like this in the future!"
Hutuli patted his chest and made a promise repeatedly, adding that he would take his mother with him after he got married.
Changning "..."
Despite her words, she still doted on Tuantuan and specially prepared a delivery room for her. She also arranged for Yuzhu and Xiaokangzi to take turns keeping watch at night in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
The male cat was named Yuanyuan by Hutuli.
Reunion and togetherness—what a wonderful meaning!
Yuanyuan is a very responsible and good husband. He has been staying by Tuantuan's side these days, running errands for him and even licking Tuantuan's fur.
That afternoon, amidst the anticipation of everyone at Qingzhi Courtyard, Tuantuan finally gave birth.
The whole family gathered together, waiting for Tuantuan to give birth.
She gave birth quickly and smoothly, with three tiny kittens in total. They were so small that their eyes weren't even open yet, and their fur was still wet. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan kept licking the kittens' fur.
Fei Yanga couldn't resist poking one of the kittens first, and found that its body was extremely soft, with a pink belly that looked especially cute.
"Mother, he's so small!"
Changning was also charmed by the three newborn kittens. "Yes, they are still very weak, so we need to take good care of them!"
Fei Yang'a puffed out her little belly and patted her chest, "Mother, don't worry! Hongzhao will definitely take good care of them!"
After saying that, she pulled her brother along, saying, "Brother too! Brother is the best, he can definitely take good care of the kitten!"
Feng Sheng'e nodded: "Let's not disturb Tuantuan's rest. Let Tuantuan sleep well."
As soon as his brother spoke, Fei Yanga immediately obeyed, covering his little mouth to indicate that he understood, and hurriedly pulled his sister, mother, and father out.
Yinzhen was also very happy that Tuantuan had given birth to a son smoothly. This was a good thing and a good omen, so he instructed Yuzhu and Xiaokangzi to take good care of her.
Back inside, the three children were still excitedly chattering, discussing the kittens that had just been born.
Suddenly, Feng Sheng'e said, "Father and Mother also took care of us in the same way. They worked very hard too."
Fei Yanga nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, Mother gave birth to us just like Tuan Tuan gave birth to kittens."
Hutu patted his two younger brothers on the head: "Then we must treat our father and mother even better in the future."
The three children immediately reached an agreement.
In the following days, the three children would frequently show concern and care for Yinzhen and Changning.
One moment Fengsheng'e hands his mother a soft cushion, the next Feiyang'a peels a tangerine for his mother, then Hutuli feeds his father a pastry, and then the three children massage their father and mother's legs.
This left the two people completely confused.
Changning immediately became alert: "What trouble have you caused? Did you knock over my jewelry box? Did you write on the teacher's back? Or did you secretly wet the bed?"
The three children's faces turned pale and then red. That was all in the past. Why does Mother keep bringing it up?
Hutuli stamped her foot in shame and indignation: "Mother, don't talk nonsense! We didn't mean anything by it! We just wanted to show our respect to you!"
Changning touched her nose. Well, the children's love came too fast and too intensely; Mother hasn't had time to react yet!
Yinzhen was quite gratified. Only when you raise children do you understand the kindness of your parents, and the filial piety of his children was the greatest comfort. Tomorrow he also had to go to the palace to pay his respects to his mother and father.
After October, it will be Yinzhen's birthday.
The three children gathered at Qingzhi Courtyard, chattering excitedly about what birthday gift to give their father.
Hutuli has recently been learning needlework. She wanted to embroider a handkerchief for her father, but her hands were a bit too clumsy. When she took it out, Feiyanga was still comforting her.
"Sis, it's okay! You embroidered this cricket so well! Really, it's just like the cricket we caught at Jingshan Park."
Hutuli gritted her teeth and said, "This is a butterfly! It's a butterfly I embroidered!"
ah?
Whose butterfly has such long antennae? And they're all crooked and twisted, but Fei Yanga didn't dare say it, because his sister would really beat him up, so he quickly changed the subject: "Beautiful, beautiful, sister, yours is definitely the butterfly king!"
Seeing her older sister's appalling embroidery skills, Feng Sheng'e wisely chose to keep quiet.
"Brother, what have you prepared?"
Fiyanah escaped Huturi's clutches and quickly hid behind his brother.
Feng Sheng scratched his head: "I don't know either. I wrote two large characters and wanted to dedicate them to my father."
Fei Yang pouted: "Huh? What's this? A birthday gift definitely needs to be made with a lot of effort to show your sincerity!"
"Then tell me, what good ideas do you have?" Hutu also felt that the handkerchief she embroidered was really not presentable.
Fei Yanga couldn't say anything either, and could only look at his brother.
Feng Sheng'e doesn't know either!
So the three children stared longingly at Changning, who had just been watching the play.
Upon noticing the children looking at her, Changning suggested, "Why don't you all make something for your father together?"
What can they do?
Feng Sheng'e suddenly had an idea: "We definitely have to eat longevity noodles on a birthday, so why don't we make a bowl of noodles for Father?"
“This is good! This is good!” Fiyan was the first to agree.
Hutu also thought it was good.
Changning rubbed his stomach, feeling that he might be able to help in some way.
She is also a good cook, especially when it comes to noodles and other noodle dishes. She's quite skilled at it, but she's hardly cooked for herself since she got married.
Without further ado, Changning sent Chuixue to the small kitchen to fetch the ingredients needed for making noodles.
Granny Zhang was the first to rush forward.
"My lady! You are pregnant now, please don't strain your belly!"
Changning agreed. She wouldn't make the noodles anymore, but she could still knead the dough.
So Chuixue, Zhao Fuhai, along with a bunch of people including pomegranates, grapes, jujubes, cherries, and Wulala, brought over all the ingredients for making noodles.
The three children have seen the world; they now know that flour is like this and that a cutting board is needed.
