After staying at home for two days, with nothing to do except accompany her son, Zhong Yuxiu became bored and remembered what she had promised the old man. She wanted to go out, but the children were sturdy and she would be a little tired holding them, but it would be okay. However, it was not certain about Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi.
"Grandpa, I want to take the children out for a walk." Zhong Yuxiu found the old man.
Old man Yan Guofeng nodded. "If they want to go, they can go. It's just that it's a bit hard to carry them out. If it really doesn't work, let them get down and walk. You don't have to carry them. They can walk steadily now."
The little ones who are just over one year old, with the intentional training of their parents, no longer need to hold on to the wall when walking, nor do they need to be led by someone; they can walk for three to five minutes on their own, and their legs and feet are very strong and full of energy.
"Let's do this for now. I'll draw a blueprint and have someone make three carts. With these carts, it will be much more convenient to go out."
"A cart, like the ones used abroad?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded slightly. "I want to use domestic environmentally friendly materials, such as bamboo or softer rattan. Bamboo can easily scratch children, so rattan is more suitable."
Yan Guofeng pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Okay, I'll ask someone to make three sets first. Wrap the edges with cotton cloth. They'll be just right for them."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Grandpa." Zhong Yuxiu immediately got to work. While the children weren't paying attention, she fetched a pen and paper and quickly drew a cart. The wheels were enlarged; the smaller wheels of later generations wouldn't be suitable; large wheels were necessary. There were no extra details. The children had already begun walking; they weren't far from being able to run and jump. They would only need a year in the cart at most, after which they would need to be trained for independence. Therefore, the cart would be of little use after that.
"Grandpa, do you think this can be made?" The drawing was handed to the old man.
Old man Yan Guofeng only took a glance and nodded, "It can be done. It should be easy to find this kind of rattan material. It's not difficult for experienced craftsmen to make these things."
"Then I'll trouble you, Grandpa." She simply sat down on the mat where the children played.
"You're welcome. It's such a small matter, yet you're so polite." Yan Guofeng responded with a smile and put the drawings in his arms. "I'm going out for a while, so you'll have to work hard today." The children are lively and active, and it's quite tiring even when they are not making noise.
The eldest grandson is not at home, and his wife is alone, so it may be a bit difficult to take care of him.
After watching the old man leave, Zhong Yuxiu turned back to look at her sons. The little ones threw themselves into her arms, their heads raised. No one else was in the yard; Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi had gone to the kitchen to help, leaving Goudan alone, waiting for instructions. She lost her cover, using her mental strength to hold her sons in place, preventing them from falling directly on top of her.
The three little guys touched the air curiously.
"Ah?" Li Ming patted the mental wall curiously.
Li Zhen followed suit, clapping his hands loudly; Zhong Yuxiu intentionally avoided hurting them, so the mental wall softened so as not to hurt their hands.
Li Ji put his little hand forward. Under his claws was a wall of mental power, so even if he saw the cross-eyes, he couldn't see anything unusual.
After they calmed down, Zhong Yuxiu withdrew his mental strength and took them into his arms; the three little fat guys weighed nearly 100 pounds together and were very heavy.
"Mom." Li Ji looked up and urged, "Mom, Mom, play."
"Okay, Mom will play with you."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and let them go, but the three little ones were so stubborn that they held onto her and her neck tightly, and she couldn't push them off. "If you don't let go, how can I play with you?"
"Play."
The little ones stretched their hands forward and made a pushing gesture. Zhong Yuxiu understood immediately, but she couldn't let them play with the mental wall casually; if they became addicted to it, she really couldn't let them play with it in public if they wanted to play it next time.
"What are you talking about? Why can't Mom understand?"
"Play." Li Ji pulled her hand.
"Okay, play, but you have to let go before you can play!"
Li Zhen and Li Ming looked at their brother, and reached out to pull her, using all their cuteness and coquettishness to prevent her from using her mental strength anymore.
Zhong Yuxiu was also reflecting at this moment. The children had already shown signs of precocity, and it was indeed inappropriate to use mental power in front of them. They were still young and could forget, but it would be difficult to forget when they grew up.
Not everyone possesses superpowers. She had to undergo many reincarnations to enter this world with them; even if she did, they were infinitely compressed to the lowest level. Her sons had her genes, nurtured by their spiritual powers in her womb. Perhaps they would awaken their powers in the future, but currently, they were without them.
"Play."
The sons insisted on playing, but Zhong Yuxiu still shook her head and refused. After a stalemate, the third boy gave up and pulled her to play outside. This time she couldn't refuse, but Goudan couldn't show up in the village in public, as that would cause panic among the villagers.
"Wait a minute, you can go out and play when Aunt Wang comes to bring you food."
The dumplings understood, leaned in her arms disappointedly, and rubbed her shoulders listlessly.
She patted their little heads with a pang of heartache. She had always heard that children were a mother's weakness. She had seen women in ancient times do anything for their children, while others loved themselves more than anything else, treating their children as sons when they were useful and pawns to be discarded at any time. Therefore, she had always been skeptical, because not everyone was worthy of being a mother.
From these things, she had never thought about becoming a mother; but she never expected to come to this time and space, and meet Yan Rushan, a man who was willing to tolerate her and indulge her in everything. She got married, had a husband, and had a child, which overturned her previous fixed ideas.
"Let's go out and play after lunch, okay?" It's still early, so it's not too late to go out after lunch.
The three little kids didn't think so. They just wanted to go out and play. Children's ideas come out from time to time. If they can't get what they want, they will feel sad for a while, but they will soon let it go. This kind of thing is not uncommon for children, and it applies to the three children as well.
They can't get what they want, feel sad for a while, then find something fun and go play something else.
As long as it is not about their mother, they can let go quickly; perhaps, mother is the most stubborn thing for them at this age, and they must have their mother.
Near noon, Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi came over with food. The trays were filled with the children's lunch; a big bowl of egg custard, minced meat, and various vegetables. They would not be full until they had eaten all of it.
No wonder the little ones grow so fat, look how different what they eat is from others.
Eat more and you will naturally gain more meat!
"Comrade Zhong, where is Mr. Yan?" Wang Daya walked to the stone table in the yard and put the tray on the stone table. She first brought over three bowls of egg custard and gave one to Zhong Yuxiu. The three of them worked together to feed him.
