Each of them carried a child out. When Old Master Yan saw the little great-grandson in their arms, he smiled and said, "Quick, bring it here for me to see."
The three men walked forward, placed the child in the crib, and let the old man look at him however he wanted.
The old man, who now has a little great-grandson, no longer cares about his grandchildren and their wives.
"Grandpa, it's time for us to have breakfast." Zhong Yuxiu reminded.
Yan Rushan nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's time for breakfast."
"What's the rush? You're all not at work, so it's okay to postpone it for a while." He hadn't seen his great-grandson for a whole night. The heaviest of the three little guys was only 4.8 jin when they were born, and the lightest was 3.6 jin. Now, they are almost the same size, white and plump, with fat all over their bodies.
Yan Rushan gave Yuxiu a helpless smile and reached out to hold her soft hand.
"Let's go, let's go to the dining room and wait; Aunt Wang has gone to prepare milk for the children and it will be brought over soon." Grandpa could just look at the three children, but not his wife.
People say that a wife who has children pays less than one tenth of her attention to her husband; he has now witnessed it. His wife is staring at the child and doesn't even see him.
Zhong Yuxiu pulled him to stand still. "Since the children were born, I haven't really gotten along with them. Fortunately, they don't recognize us, so we can still get closer to them. Otherwise, when the children are half a year or a year older, they will recognize us. If we don't spend more time with them, they will only be close to Grandpa and not to us in the future. What will you do?"
anxious.
Yan Rushan touched the tip of his nose silently, "If they don't want to be close, then they don't want to be close. We are their parents, how can they not recognize us?"
"That's hard to say." Many families in later generations were so busy making a living that they had little time to spend with their children. By the time they finally wanted to be close to their children, the children had no interest in them at all. "Weren't you happy when you got pregnant? Why are you so mad after the birth?"
"You only have eyes for them. Ever since you saw them, you haven't even looked at me." Her heart and eyes were filled with her children, and she felt very sad.
Yuxiu couldn't help laughing and sneered, "So that's how it is. From now on, I'll put you and the children together and treat you equally, okay?"
"Okay." He responded confidently.
"You're still jealous of the kids." He looked quite steady, but suddenly he became so childish. "Our kids, we love them ourselves. They are the continuation of our bloodline. Think about it, they have our blood flowing through them, isn't it amazing? How can you be jealous?"
Yan Rushan thought about it and nodded vigorously. "Even though they are our bloodline, I'm still jealous. I still don't want them to occupy all your attention."
Everything he saw belonged to him, and this was what he wanted.
"Dashan, you are going backwards as you get older. If you two want to be affectionate and say sweet words, go away. Don't say them in front of my great-grandson. You will corrupt the child." Grandpa Yan glared at his eldest grandson and waved his hand to send him away.
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled and pulled Yan Rushan towards the dining room. As they walked, she said, "Grandpa, let's go to the dining room and wait for you."
"I know." Grandpa Yan turned around and then looked down at his great-grandson, teasing him with "oh oh". Whenever the children gave him a little reaction, the old man would be happy for a long time.
Wang Daya brought three bottles of milk. She fed one, the old man fed one, and the other one was left unfed and stared at with eager eyes. After Wang Daya finished feeding one, she tested the temperature in the bottle and found it suitable, so she started feeding the other child who was not eating milk.
It is difficult to feed a baby. You have to hold the baby while feeding him, and feed him milk smoothly to prevent him from spitting up suddenly. You also have to adjust the posture during the feeding process.
After feeding, Wang Daya let the three children urinate and coaxed them to sleep. Seeing the sleeping and well-behaved faces of his great-grandsons, Grandpa Yan got up and went to the dining room. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi hurriedly brought breakfast to the table.
When Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong came down, they happened to have breakfast together.
After the meal, Yan Rushan looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, when can we go to Grandpa Qiu's house? Let's bring some gifts to express our gratitude."
"That's right, but we haven't prepared any red eggs yet." Old Master Yan reminded him, "Oh, I hadn't thought of it until you mentioned it. Red eggs. They came to dinner yesterday, but it wasn't a formal full moon celebration, so we didn't prepare any red eggs."
"How many eggs are left at home?" Yan Rushan turned his gaze to the two nannies.
Wang Daya said, "There are more than forty left." She prepared more than two hundred eggs for Zhong Yuxiu for her confinement period, and there are still more than forty left.
"For now, with more than forty eggs, this is all we can do. Boil them all and dye them red. Take twenty with me when I leave, and keep the rest for when I come back. Dashan and I will give a few to each family. While we are away, you can buy some eggs and dye them." Some families have them, some don't, and that would offend people.
"Okay, take your time eating, I'll go boil some red eggs first." As soon as Wang Daya left, Gong Zhaodi finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls and followed her.
Arriving in the kitchen, Gong Zhaodi took out the red yeast rice, red rouge, and red paper she had prepared in advance and asked, "Sister Wang, what are you going to use to dye it?"
"Let's use red yeast rice. It's healthy, colors quickly, and doesn't fade easily." Wang Daya chose red yeast rice after taking a look. Red rouge and red paper are not very safe and fade easily. When people hold them in their hands, their fingertips will be stained with color, which is not good-looking after all.
In places where there is a custom of giving red eggs when a baby is born, rich people will choose red yeast rice; in rural areas or poor people mostly choose red rouge or red paper, just as a token of their appreciation.
By the time they finished breakfast, Wang Daya had already taken the red eggs out of the pot; she put twenty of them into a bamboo basket, covered it with a layer of red paper, and placed four bottles of meat sauce on it, which were prepared for Yan Ruhai.
They all knew that Old Yan was going to visit his grandson today, so he specifically asked them to prepare meat sauce, which was a must.
"Mr. Yan, the things you want are ready." Wang Daya handed the things to Yan Rushan personally.
Yan Rushan nodded, and Old Man Yan smiled. "Thank you for your hard work. Hurry up and heat up your food and have breakfast."
"Okay, you and Comrade Yan, take care."
After sending the people out of the house, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi picked up the remaining red eggs. There was no need to heat up the breakfast, so they just ate a few bites. They asked Gong Zhaodi to stay at home and Wang Daya called Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong to go out together.
These are two strong men we called. It is not easy to carry dozens or hundreds of eggs back without a car. With these two strong laborers, it is not a problem. They can easily carry them with just a little help.
Only Zhong Yuxiu and Gong Zhaodi were left at home.
Gong Zhaodi was a taciturn person who liked to work quietly. Zhong Yuxiu couldn't chat with her, so she simply took a medical book and went to watch over the children's cribs. They slept soundly, and Zhong Yuxiu had quiet time, which was just right for her to read.
