"Just remember them. Make sure they remember the suffering you've endured for them; how hard it has been for me as a father to raise them; how naughty and frustrating they have been. Only when they grow up will they know what they were like as children; if they don't remember them when they grow up, I'd think it's a pity, so I'll definitely tell them about it." After saying this, Yan Rushan patted his sons' chubby faces again.
It feels comfortable to pinch the chubby one.
Zhong Yuxiu withdrew her gaze and began to sympathize with her sons.
They stayed in the house until they finished their meal and came out. The children covered their stomachs with their hands due to hunger and looked at them pitifully. Otherwise, they could have sat together and talked for longer.
Yan Guofeng had a quiet afternoon, and his mood improved and he felt more energetic. When he saw his great-grandchildren coming over, his eyes lit up again.
"Come, let me hold the child." Although he felt that the children were still closer to their mothers, this did not reduce his love for his great-grandchildren.
Zhong Yuxiu handed the child in her hands to the old man, and she suddenly felt relieved. Loving children is one thing, but not being able to hold the child for too long is another. Fortunately, her physique is not weak. If she were in the ancient plane, she would definitely not be able to hold the child for so long.
Yan Rushan handed the children to Goudan. It was difficult for the Goudan robot to hold two children.
However, everyone present took it for granted, and Goudan could only bear the consequences.
Yan Guofeng touched the little face of his great-grandson in his arms and asked, "Didn't they sleep in the afternoon?"
"No, they kept playing with their eyes open. I found it strange. They used to take a nap, but today they didn't," said Yan Rushan.
Zhong Yuxiu did not comment on this. She spent too little time with her children and did not understand their habits sometimes; but this did not stop her from loving her sons very much. It was that simple.
"They will go to bed early tonight, so bring them food and let them play for a while before taking a bath. If we can get them to sleep before dinner, it will be easier when eating." As children grow older, they are no longer satisfied with the food they have now and are always envious of other foods, especially the dishes that adults eat, which are very attractive to them.
This attraction makes them constantly tempted, always wanting to taste the food on the table. This causes great trouble to the adults who are eating, who always have to pay attention to their movements. Even if they are not allowed to sit at the table, they will still cling to the adults' pants and not let go. In short, they will beg and pester to sit at the table; they are in the stage of being disgusted by others.
Yan Rushan nodded in agreement, turned around and went out. Ten minutes later, he came back with the supplementary food and fruits prepared for them.
Zhong Yuxiu took a look at the food on the tray. The large tray contained not only egg custard, minced meat and vegetables, but also a bowl of white milk, which she didn't know what animal's milk it came from. Next to it were fruits and juice, and even some soft foods like steamed buns.
The steamed buns made by Feng Zheng are soft, fluffy and sweet. Not to mention the children, she would eat two more; she eats more only after she is full, they are just that delicious.
The children’s staple foods are becoming more and more diverse, and next year, they may be able to eat more things slowly.
"Can they finish so much?" Their appetites are not that big, right?
Yan Rushan nodded, "They can finish it slowly. Feed them the staple food first, and then feed the other food after they finish the staple food. If they can't finish it, put it aside and they can eat it when they are hungry."
The staple food here was naturally minced vegetables and meat, egg custard, and steamed buns. There were three steamed buns in total, each about the size of a grown man's fist. While one would fill an average person, Zhong Yuxiu could eat four, and Yan Rushan could eat three. The children loved steamed buns; after all, they were one of the most delicious foods available: fragrant, soft, and sweet.
"Yes." Li Ming reached out to grab it.
Zhong Yuxiu took his claws back and prevented him from catching her.
Yan Rushan put the tray aside, away from the little ones; then, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi came over and handed a bowl of egg custard to the old man. Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi took the other two little dumplings, and the three of them worked together to feed them.
During the feeding process, the little dumplings wanted to do it themselves but were ruthlessly rejected. However, they were unwilling to give up; they tried to grab the bowl and spoon in front of them again and again. The old man, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi had a hard time feeding them. Not only did they have to feed them well, but they also had to prevent them from getting the chance.
"Grandpa, they are becoming more and more active. Why don't we cultivate their self-reliance?" Zhong Yuxiu felt tired watching this, but it is the nature of children to be active, which cannot be suppressed. She can only think of a way to curb it.
Yan Guofeng fed Li Ji a mouthful and took the time to ask, "How to train it?"
"Prepare small tables and stools for them to eat by themselves; give them one thing to eat at a time, and only after they finish eating can they have the next thing to eat. If they waste food, then the food will be halved." We must make them understand that food cannot be wasted, and even if they cannot finish it, they cannot spill it everywhere.
When children eat, they always spill some food. They do it unintentionally, but it is also because adults fail to remind them.
Yan Guofeng glanced at the little baby in his arms, then at the baby's mother. "They're bound to spill some of the food when they start eating. We can't start cutting the food in half now, right?"
"The rules are set at the beginning, and we can't let them break them." Everyone in this world has a dark side in their nature, and the world's rules, morals, and knowledge are the key to suppressing the dark side.
The more people read, the more they understand. Similarly, the more they understand, the more they will go in three different directions: one, completely suppress the dark side and be more righteous; two, be moderate; three, allow the dark side to grow and eventually go astray.
"They are still young, it's too early to talk about rules now." He was reluctant.
"Grandpa, I'm their mother, and I love them. Precisely because I love them, I need to teach them about rules from a young age." If we wait until they're old enough to remember things or become sensible before discussing rules with them, what's the point of letting them do what they did before? It's better to set firm rules from the start and then follow them.
By the time they grow up, the rules have been ingrained in their bones, even in their subconscious.
In terms of education, she always felt that the education of the nobles in the ancient plane had many merits. Boys were taught from an early age to be independent; to understand life, interpersonal relationships, conflicts of interest between men and women, between families, battles for victory and defeat in the court, and even the art of balancing the family and the harem.
All of these are inseparable from the rules set for the men in the family since childhood. They can be unrestrained within the rules, but they must never overstep their bounds outside of them.
Is life tiring for the children of the nobility? Yes!
Are the common people tired? Very tired!
Who doesn't tire of living in this world? Who can truly let go of everything? Rather than letting others teach children through bitter experience, it's better for their elders to instill this in them from the outset.
