After leaving the police station, Lin Li went to a state-run restaurant to pack a few dishes, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks to eat on the train. She then led the two little ones, who had been chattering all the way, back home.
As soon as Lin Li brought the two little ones home, she saw them happily running into the yard and quickly finishing the cleaning they hadn't done yet.
The two chatted happily as they worked, dreaming about life in Beijing.
Lin Li closed the courtyard gate with a smile on her face.
After placing the packed food on the table in the main room, she went back to the kitchen and took out three bottles of milk from her storage space.
"Here, are you thirsty? Have a bottle of milk first."
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, the two children put the broom and rag in their proper places before hopping and skipping over.
"I'm going to wash my hands!"
Lin Li looked at the four dirty little hands, and patted their palms with a mixture of anger and amusement, telling them to go wash their hands first.
The two ran to the well, washed their hands with clean water, and then stretched their little hands out to Lin Li again.
"Grandma, we're done washing!"
"good!"
Hand them the milk.
"Drink a little bit first, and then drink the rest after you finish eating. Don't let the milk fill your little stomachs, or you won't be able to eat dinner later."
"good!"
Lin Hu handed the opened bottle of milk to Lin Yao, then took the milk from Lin Yao's hand and opened the bottle cap.
The two of them started gulping down the contents of the bottle.
Seeing that Lin Yao had drunk about half of the milk, Lin Hu pressed the milk bottle down from where Lin Yao was drinking it, which was being held upright.
"That's enough, you've had too much to drink, you won't be able to eat later!"
Lin Yao obediently put down the bottle, with a thin layer of milk stains still above the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, Yaoyao won't drink anymore. He can drink after he finishes eating."
Lin Hu wiped the milk stains off his mouth with his hands, and Lin Yao also stretched out his little hands, stood on tiptoe, and wiped the milk stains off Lin Hu as well.
Lin Li watched the scene unfold in the dining hall, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
"Come and eat!"
"They're here!"
Hearing Lin Li's call, the two little ones put the milk bottles on the dining table, ran to wash their hands, and came over hand in hand.
Looking at the table full of four dishes and a soup, she exclaimed "Wow!"
"There is braised pork, stir-fried liver tips, stir-fried greens, stewed chicken pieces, and egg drop soup."
With a 'swoosh' sound!
"It smells so good!"
"It smells delicious, let's sit down and eat!"
Add white rice to the two little ones' bowls and hand them chopsticks.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
The two little ones took the chopsticks and began to wolf down their food.
After the food was devoured, there was still a lot of food left on the table.
The two little ones patted their round bellies, burped, and kept their eyes on the food on the table.
Seeing Lin Li begin to clear away the leftovers, Lin Hu stood up, took the leftovers from her hands, and said...
"Milk, I can eat more later!"
Lin Li slapped his little hand away, looking at him with a mixture of laughter and anger.
"Still eating? If you eat any more, your little tummy will be full. Save this food for breakfast tomorrow morning."
Only after hearing Lin Li's words did Lin Hu reluctantly take his eyes off the food.
It's okay, I can still have such delicious food tomorrow morning.
Lin Yao jumped off the stool and ran to Lin Hu. "Brother, can we still eat this much tomorrow?"
After hearing Lin Yao's words, Lin Hu turned his head and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, during the time I was with my grandma, I ate my fill every day."
"Wow~~~"
Lin Yao's eyes sparkled.
After putting the leftover food away and washing the dishes, I saw the two little ones diligently cleaning the main room.
Lin Li drew clean water from the well and took it to the kitchen to boil.
When the water starts to boil, call the two little ones over.
"Let me give you a bath at home today!"
"No need, no need, milk! We can wash it ourselves!"
Lin Yao immediately nodded, "We can wash them ourselves!"
Seeing the two little ones' shy expressions, Lin Li smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
She's so young, yet she already knows how to be shy.
"Alright, I'll bring the water to the shower room, and you two can take a shower yourselves."
"Okay, milk!"
After carrying the water to the shower room, I poured the hot water into the bathtub.
She dared not let the two children carry such scalding water.
She poured in cold water, checked the water temperature, and looked at the two children standing behind her.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get you some soap and handkerchiefs."
After saying that, Lin Li returned to her bedroom and took out soap, handkerchiefs, and clothes she had secretly bought in Beijing while taking care of Lin Hu.
Back in the bathroom, I saw the two little ones standing obediently in front of the wooden tub, whispering something to each other.
"What are you talking about?"
"Milk, Lin Yao said he wants to drink the rest of the milk before taking a shower."
As Lin Li placed the soap, handkerchief, and clothes on the wooden shelf beside her, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Lin Yao's still round little belly.
"Take a shower before you drink it! Your tummy is still all round."
Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Lin Yao immediately tucked in his stomach and straightened his chest.
"Grandma, I deliberately made my belly stick out. It's been more than an hour since we finished dinner, so it's not bloated anymore."
"Really? Then wait a moment, I'll get you some water to drink, so you won't get thirsty while you're taking a bath."
Lin Li walked out of the bathing room and took out two bowls of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and brought them in.
"Come over and have some water first."
The two little ones ran to her side and each took a bowl of spiritual spring water.
It went down in a 'glug glug' sound.
"Milk, this water is so delicious, it's so sweet."
Lin Yao handed the bowl in his hand to Lin Li, his little face flushed.
"As long as it tastes good! You two go take a shower, and then go to your third uncle's room to sleep. Drink the remaining half bottle of milk before you go to bed."
"good!"
Lin Li smiled and closed the door.
It wasn't that she didn't want to give her child more milk; it was just that in her previous life, she seemed to remember an expert saying that children shouldn't eat too much before bed, as it would affect their sleep.
Lin Li, who had never raised a child before, decided to raise the child according to the book, thinking that there shouldn't be any major problems.
Forty minutes later, Lin Hu ran to Lin Li's bedroom door and knocked.
"Grandma, we're done washing up, now we're going to bed!"
Upon hearing this from within the space, Lin Li immediately came out.
He opened the door, looked at Lin Hu who was clean and tidy, and smiled.
"good!"
Lin Hu smiled sweetly, "We've already cleaned up after the bath. Goodnight, Grandma!"
"good!"
Lin Li watched Lin Hu's figure disappear from sight before closing the door again.
A thought struck him, and he returned to the courtyard house in Beijing.
As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw that the light was on in Lin Laosan's room.
When I got to his door, I knocked gently and heard hurried footsteps coming from inside.
The door was opened instantly.
"Mom, you're back!"
"Okay, I'll come back first to help the two kids tidy up their rooms."
"Two children?"
