"Let the children have some meat." After saying that, Yuxiu took a plump white bun from the plate. The bun was as soft as cotton when it was just out of the pot. She tore off a small piece of the wrapper and put it to Yan Liming's mouth.
The little baby smelled the fragrance, slowly opened his mouth, and stared at her hand.
Zhong Yuxiu put a little bit of noodles into his mouth. The little guy was so happy that he smiled and wanted to eat more after finishing it. The two little guys, Liji and Lizhen, looked at him eagerly. Zhong Yuxiu also fed them a small bite. It was really a small bite. The amount was not even as big as a finger. For adults, it was so tiny that it could be ignored.
“Is it delicious?”
"ah."
The Book of Rites says that even if you open your mouth you still want more.
Yuxiu, the unscrupulous mother, laughed and took a bite of the bun in front of them. The aroma of meat and vegetables filled her mouth, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction. The children had just started eating meat, so she couldn't let them eat too much because they had weak stomachs.
“Ahh.”
"Ah."
"La la ah."
The three little guys were anxious and reached out to grab it, but Zhong Yuxiu dodged them. "There's no point in being anxious. I'm glad I gave you some to eat. How much more do you want?"
"Ohhhh, ahhhh."
The anxious looks of the little kids were so adorable that Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but tease them. She put the buns in front of them, and when they reached out to grab them, they pulled their hands back and showed off proudly.
"Who made you grow so slowly? You can only watch me eat, but you can't eat anything."
“Ahhh.”
Li Ji reached out to pounce on him, and Zhong Yuxiu took him into her arms and finished the bun in her hand in a few bites; she picked him up and played with him, and soon Li Ji forgot about the bun and started playing with her with a giggle.
The other two little ones looked at each other enviously and reached out for a hug. Zhong Yuxiu glanced at them and didn't reach out, "Mommy can only hold one."
"That's enough. Your mother can't hold them, so let Great-Grandpa hold them." Yan Guofeng hugged both of them in his arms, but that was all he could do. He couldn't hold two children at the same time and play with them.
Wang Daya chuckled beside her, feeling that at this moment Zhong Yuxiu was no different from her sons, very childish.
"Comrade Zhong, Mr. Yan, what would you like to eat for lunch? What should we pay attention to when entertaining guests?"
Zhong Yuxiu took the time to look at her and said, "Clams, crayfish, fish, braised pork, and if there's beef, make boiled beef slices. The main dishes will be noodles and rice, and we'll also prepare some cold noodles."
"Okay, then Comrade Gong and I will go buy some groceries. The children haven't had breakfast yet, and they will need to eat, drink, go to the toilet, and poop in a while, so you two should pay more attention to them." Wang Daya reminded them before leaving.
Zhong Yuxiu's arms around Li Ji froze, and Mumu looked at the old man. "Grandpa, they haven't had breakfast yet, and they haven't urinated or defecated yet. What are we supposed to do? I don't know how!"
There were no such things as diapers now, and children had to rely on manual labor to urinate and defecate at the appointed time; but she had never done that, and she rarely had the opportunity to breastfeed.
"I'll be there in a minute. Go to the kitchen and mix the milk powder. The water should be around 40 degrees Celsius. Stir it evenly and pour it into the bottle and bring it over."
Yan Guofeng spoke, and Zhong Yuxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put the child in the crib and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to mix the milk powder. If you need help, just let me know."
"Yeah." Yan Guofeng nodded in amusement. Seeing her enter the kitchen, he put the children into bed. He pulled the trash can over and cleaned up the poop and pee one by one. The little ones cooperated very well. "Look at your mother. She is so scary for you."
This is what happens to people who have never raised children, and Yan Guofeng doesn't find it strange; his granddaughter-in-law is a person who does big things, and he can just take care of his great-grandson.
Zhong Yuxiu prepared the milk powder, took three bottles from the cupboard, rinsed the thermos with hot water, poured the prepared milk powder in, wiped the water droplets on the bottles with a clean towel, and returned to the living room with the bottles in her arms.
"Grandpa, the milk powder is ready."
"Come here." Yan Guofeng waved his hand, and Zhong Yuxiu handed over two bottles of milk. "Grandpa, how are we going to feed three children?"
Yan Guofeng took one and handed it to Li Ji, then Li Ming and Li Zhen. "They're growing faster than other children and are stronger. We've already started training them to drink from the bottle on their own. Give them the bottle, and they know how to drink. We need to be careful if they spit up, and the milk in the bottle will spill."
Zhong Yuxiu felt ashamed when she saw the old man's familiar way of raising children.
"Grandpa, I'm lucky you're here." She didn't know how to take care of a child. Since it was her first time giving birth, her in-laws were very tolerant of her. If she were in someone else's family, she would have been scolded for not knowing how to take care of a child or feed a child.
Yan Guofeng chuckled, "You young people lack experience, so just take your time. With the implementation of family planning, you and Dashan will only have these three children in your lifetime. It doesn't matter if you can't raise them. I'm still alive."
"Rushan and I really have no experience. Without you and the two nannies, we would definitely be at a loss." This was not false. She couldn't even take care of one child, let alone three.
Yan Guofeng smiled and nodded, feeling very pleased with what he said. "Just live a good life with Dashan. Grandpa can help you and Dashan take care of the child now. I don't know if I will still be around when Xiaohai has a child. If not, I will have to trouble you and Dashan to take care of Xiaohai's family more."
"You'll definitely live a long life, maybe even have a great-grandchild." Zhong Yuxiu really thought so. The old man, who had taken the repair fluid, was in good health. As long as he wasn't at the end of his life, the chance of dying from illness was very small. "By the way, Xiaohai is already in his early twenties. Don't your parents have any ideas?"
"What ideas?" The old man shook his head. "Xiao Hai has his own ideas. So what if his parents found him a blind date? That kid is very stubborn, just like Dashan."
They felt guilty about how they treated Yan Rushan in the past. Yan Rushan was unwilling to look for another woman, and his relatives were unwilling to force him. Fortunately, they got married and had children before Yan Rushan turned 30.
When it was Yan Ruhai's turn, with Yan Rushan in front as a comparison, his parents and grandfather had to consider Yan Ruhai's thoughts more.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "It depends on fate. If fate is right, we can get married soon. It's pointless to talk about fate all the time. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I met with my boss yesterday and mentioned Xiao Hai to him. Maybe Xiao Hai can come home one of these days."
Yan Guofeng's expression shifted, then he calmed down again. "Come back if you want to. You didn't even come back to visit after joining the Military Research Institute."
"Xiao Hai is busy with work!"
"You're also busy with work, so you can't come back to visit. But he can't even take half a day off?" Yan Guofeng got angry when he talked about this. His grandson went out and he couldn't find him back. "He's not as busy as you. The brat just doesn't care about me as his grandfather."
Old child, old child, the older you get, the more childish you become.
Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips and smiled. After the old man finished speaking, she continued, "Xiao Hai and I have different jobs. My job is more flexible, while his is more restricted at the Military Research Institute. You can't just ask for leave whenever you want. It has to be calculated based on the construction period."
