Yan Rushan didn't know whether he should be relieved or say that they were smart and knew how to weigh the pros and cons at such a young age.
"You guys can't live without your mom for a single day, right? You cling to her whenever you get the chance, what a mess!" After pinching their chubby faces, Yan Rushan felt a little relieved. Turning to his wife, he said, "Look at how much you've spoiled her."
Zhong Yuxiu snorted and ignored him.
Yan Rushan resigned himself to his fate and sat down on the edge of the bed, but the three boys turned their heads to look at him, as if to say, why are you sitting down?
Yan Rushan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, covering one of his sons' heads with his big hand. "What are you looking at? This is my territory, your father. There's no point in squinting."
"snort."
"snort."
“Hmph.”
The three little ones imitated their mother's nasal humming, but because the sound was too weak, it sounded like they were acting coquettishly.
"You little brats, you've learned a bunch of weird things."
"Mom, hit him." Li Ji pointed at Yan Rushan.
"Mom, hit him."
"Hit daddy."
"Dad is bad."
"Bad."
Yan Rushan was both angry and amused. He pressed their little heads and said, "Oh, you guys are even telling on me and asking your mother to beat me. Come on, tell me, who did you learn this from?"
"bad!"
"Eggs."
Bad guy.
If you can't speak clearly, speak separately.
Zhong Yuxiu doubled over with laughter. Were these four fathers and sons bickering in their past lives? They were so hilarious together in this life.
"Mom, no, small." Mom didn't smile.
"Okay, okay, Mom won't laugh." She covered her mouth but still laughed. The three boys turned their heads to look at her, not understanding what she was laughing at; but, seeing that she was laughing so happily, they laughed along with her. Her laughter was so clear and crisp that she felt embarrassed to laugh.
Having more children in the family really brings endless happiness to people; what's more, there are three children in their family, so the happiness can be doubled, and the crying can also be doubled.
Raising a child is both painful and joyful.
"Now that we're dressed, let's go out for dinner." Yuxiu coughed lightly, and the three children felt their stomachs and said, "We're hungry."
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at them and said to Yan Rushan, "We agreed not to give them any food tonight. They didn't see me coming back this afternoon, so they started a hunger strike. Fortunately, the food wasn't completely cold, otherwise we would have to trouble the cafeteria to heat it up for us."
"Tell me, I didn't have a history of hunger strikes when I was a kid. Did you have the hunger strike gene? They've all learned it. They used to cry only after they had enough to eat and drink, but now they cry only when they don't eat or drink."
"Wife, I can guarantee that I have never gone on a hunger strike. People of our generation all know how precious food is. We are lucky to have something to eat. How could we go on a hunger strike?" Yan Rushan said righteously.
Zhong Yuxiu reluctantly believed him and said, "Let's go to the front yard first."
"Okay, I'll pick up two." Yan Rushan leaned over and picked up the two on the right, then turned and walked out.
The little ones who were picked up were stunned for a moment, and then patted his chest with their little hands.
"Ahh, Mom."
"Stinky, stinky, Daddy."
Zhong Yuxiu picked up Li Ji from the bed. This child was much more sensible than the other two and didn't move around randomly. Following Yan Rushan's footsteps, the two children in his arms finally stopped when they saw their mother catch up. They spoke to her in a "ah ah" tone, as if to say, "Mom, we are very obedient."
"Hold on to daddy's neck obediently and don't move around. When we get to the main hall, let your great-grandfather hold you."
"Grandpa."
"Yes, your ancestors."
If you ask them to call him Great-Grandpa, they won’t be able to do it for a long time; but if you try a different way, they can call him out immediately.
The couple arrived at the main hall one after another. Zhong Yuxiu looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, we are here."
"It's good that you're here. We'll be eating soon. The food is already on the table." Yan Guofeng pointed at the food on the table and said with a smile, "If you don't come soon, we'll have to start eating."
Zhong Yuxiu chuckled and said, "If you're hungry, eat first. You don't have to wait for us."
"That won't do. A family has to eat together to have a good time. What's the point of eating alone? Come, take a seat. We can start eating once Comrade Gu and the others arrive. I heard they're making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today. I wonder where they found the ingredients."
The ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are not easy to find. Even Yan Rushan would have to spend a lot of time and manpower to gather them.
"Grandpa, that's what I brought back at noon. You can't eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today. You have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It needs to be stewed for a long time, otherwise it won't be tasty."
Yan Guofeng nodded. "Okay, if we can't eat it today, we can eat it tomorrow. The ingredients are already in the pot, so we'll be able to eat it sooner or later. But I'm so greedy! I haven't had Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in years. The last time I had it was at a state banquet."
"Has Buddha Jumps Over the Wall been served at a state banquet?" Zhong Yuxiu was curious because she had never been to one before.
"Yes! Of course not! State banquets always bring together top chefs. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was served at a state banquet once, and that was the only time they put a lot of effort into entertaining the Country S delegation."
Yan Rushan said, "That was in the early 1960s, when I went there with my grandfather. The taste was really good, very flavorful, fresh and fragrant, with a long aftertaste."
"You make me want to eat it too." Zhong Yuxiu touched the corner of her mouth. Even though she had traveled through many lives, she had never eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. "How long does it take to stew?"
"Twenty-four hours. If you want to experience it more, you'll need three days and three nights."
"Then let's try it first." His mouth was watering. Feng Zheng's cooking was usually very delicious; he wondered how good Buddha Jumps Over the Wall would be. "I can't wait."
Yan Guofeng smiled, picked up the child from Yan Rushan's arms, turned around and sat down in the upper seat.
With his hands free, Yan Rushan chuckled and patted her little head. "You can have it tomorrow at noon. If you and Grandpa don't go to the cafeteria at noon, I'll bring you food. Some of the ingredients in this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are stewed until soft, so the children can eat it too."
"good!"
Yan Rushan took her hand and led them to sit down. Everywhere the children looked were delicious foods and drinks. Li Zhen couldn't help but stretch out her fat paws first, but Yan Rushan intercepted them and held them in his palm.
"This is not for you, little ones can't eat spicy food." The little guy's target was actually a plate of stir-fried bullfrog meat, which was fragrant, but indeed not suitable for children.
It is not recommended for children under the age of eight to eat spicy food because their stomachs and intestines are not fully developed and their immunity is not strong. Eating spicy food is very likely to cause gastrointestinal problems. This is not nonsense, but has a basis in fact.
"Ah, Dad." Li Zhen looked back at him.
"There's no point in calling daddy. You can't eat it anyway."
Seeing this, Li Ming stretched out his claws, targeting a plate of sausages; these sausages were bought outside, not homemade, but they were still quite fragrant after being smoked.
Yan Guofeng was quick to move and picked up the child, turning him sideways. He then checked the child's paws, fortunately they were not burned.
"This is freshly served, and the heat hasn't worn off yet. You two little kids are ignorant and fearless. You'll only know the pain once you get burned."
