After laying out the mattresses, the children had a place to play again; after putting the children down, Zhong Yuxiu and Wang Daya had time to talk.
"Comrade Zhong, the children haven't washed their faces yet. I'll go get them some hot water so they can wash their faces first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wang. Just bring a basin of water." The children were too young, and they were brothers, so they couldn't afford so much. "Also, ask Comrade Gu to bring some warm water. The children are just getting better, and the first sip of warm water in the morning can promote metabolism. After they drink the warm water, we can eat later."
Wang Daya had never heard of this and was confused for a moment, but since Comrade Zhong had said it, it must be correct.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
As soon as Wang Daya left, Zhong Yuxiu looked down at the three children who were playing in her arms. After being sick, they seemed to be even more attached to her.
Raising her hand to touch their little heads, Zhong Yuxiu smiled helplessly, "You guys! I guess this is a debt from your past life."
People say that children are here to collect debts, and there is some truth to that; when children are ignorant and need teaching, parents must be patient and have methods; children need careful care, nurturing and guidance as they grow up; and when children grow up, they must be found wives.
Parents spend their whole lives for their children.
"Dad doesn't like to talk to you guys, I think I can understand."
"Understand what?" Yan Rushan walked in from outside and heard her last few words. He was tall and straight, with long, straight legs, and full of masculine aura. "What were you saying about me to the children?"
Glancing at him, Yuxiu said, "They say you don't care about your sons. They're still young and don't understand. They just rely on direct approaching. When they grow up and can remember things, if you still treat them like this, they will definitely not be close to you, but will keep their distance from you."
"It doesn't matter if it's far away. I have a wife, that's enough for me."
He walked up to her, stretched out his hands in front of her, and wanted to pull her up; but when the three cubs saw Yan Rushan, they stopped playing and hugged their mother, staring at their father.
Seeing this, Yan Rushan laughed angrily, "What? My wife can only accompany you guys? She may not be a big person, but she has a lot of tricks."
"What are you talking about?" Zhong Yuxiu shoved him away and said angrily, "How old are they? What do they understand? They're just acting on instinct. You're not needed here. Go to the kitchen and see if the children's breakfast is ready. If it is, bring it over. And by the way, give a hand to Comrade Wang Daya and Gu Lingguo. Comrade Wang has already gone to the kitchen to get hot water for the children to wash their faces."
"Look at what you have done to your mother. You have even started to scold me, your lover. You are really capable." Yan Rushan pretended to be angry and said a few words to his sons. Then he looked down at his daughter-in-law who had no expression on her face. He leaned over and kissed her on the face in a lightning speed. Then he left with a happy mood.
Zhong Yuxiu raised her hand and touched the place where she was kissed. It was cool, and the touch felt like it was still on her face. Then she looked down at her sons. The three cubs rushed towards her, hugged her neck and called her mommy, and kissed her face again and again. Now her face, which had just been washed, was washed again.
"Mom."
"Mom, he's bad."
Okay, I’ll complain after I kiss you.
"That's Dad." He spoke to them patiently, "Don't say Dad is bad. Dad loves you, but he just doesn't know how to express it."
Yan Rushan was so happy when she first became pregnant with the children, and I still remember it vividly. Even after the children were born, Yan Rushan repeatedly expressed that she didn't like them, but she would still reserve several sets of clothes for them in advance every season, and she would strictly control their milk powder and food.
The children could speak now, but they didn't call him dad. There was a sense of disappointment in Yan Rushan's eyes, but he just didn't show it.
"bad."
"Bad."
"bad......"
The little ones don’t understand what deep love is. They just know that their dad doesn’t like them. So, they don’t like their dad either, and they will never like him.
Holding my three chubby sons, I used to think they were quite plump, but now I can see the difference when I hold them in my arms; they have lost weight after all, and they feel smaller when I hold them in my arms.
This is not an exaggeration at all, it's just a feeling.
Zhong Yuxiu hugged them distressedly and comforted them, "Dad is not a bad person. Dad bought you new clothes and gave you money to spend. When Dad was at home, he worked hard every day and had to take care of Mom and you from time to time. It was very, very hard."
"cry......"
The words were unclear and the pain turned into crying.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She kissed their foreheads and said, "Yes, it's hard. It's very hard, very hard."
"Beep."
"Yes, it's Dad." He took the opportunity to teach them to call Dad.
The little ones shouted smoothly this time, but as soon as Yan Rushan came back, they immediately stopped shouting; no matter how Zhong Yuxiu coaxed them, it was useless, the little ones lowered their heads and played by themselves, and just didn't look at their father.
Yan Rushan put the tray on the table. There were three bowls of egg custard on the tray. He was surprised to see Zhong Yuxiu coaxing them to call for help.
"Haven't they called me dad before?"
"They don't yell enough, haven't you noticed?" Yuxiu patted her sons' heads and said, "Brother Yan, I think the kids probably understand what we're saying. They understand that you dislike them. They were yelling for daddy so happily just now, but they stopped yelling when they saw you coming. They must be mad at you."
Yan Rushan smiled and said indifferently, "Don't shout, then don't shout. Comrade Wang is outside, and the hot water will be here soon."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
"Comrade Zhong, the hot water is here." Wang Daya spoke at the door.
The couple smiled at each other, no longer worrying about whether their sons had called for help.
Wang Daya brought the hot water to the table. She did not put the basin on the table, but put it on the stool; she threw the three towels on the edge of the basin into the hot water to soak, then wrung them dry and brought them to the mattress together.
Zhong Yuxiu took the towel and wiped one son's face first, then gave it to Wang Daya. She then took a clean towel and wiped the second son's face, then the third, washing their faces and feeding them some warm water. By then, the egg custard on the table was about the right temperature, so Zhong Yuxiu called Yan Rushan to bring it over. Wang Daya put the towel back in the basin and came over to help feed them.
Each child was fed a bowl of egg custard.
Yuxiu held Lizhen in her arms, Wang Daya was in charge of the most recent Liming, and left the Book of Rites to Yan Rushan.
"Here, eat it." Yan Rushan skillfully scooped a spoonful of egg custard and brought it to his eldest son's mouth.
Li Ji turned away without giving any face and just looked at his mother, watching her feeding his third brother with eager eyes.
Yan Rushan didn't have much patience and put the spoon to his mouth again, "Eat quickly, otherwise, after your brothers finish eating, it will be your turn to eat. We only steamed this much, one bowl per person, no more. If you don't eat, you will have to go hungry."
