In the living room, Chen Lie was holding his son, and the two looked at each other in silence.
Chen Lie was speechless, being provoked but unable to fight back, and Xiao Li Tuaner was completely confused. He didn't know how he ended up in the arms of the man in front of him, nor did he know why he left them alone.
Chen Lie looked at his son and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Xiaoli Tuaner looked back at Chen Lie, blinking his eyes, not understanding what he was saying.
"Dad coaxes you to sleep?" Chen Lie asked again.
Xiaoli Tuaner reached out, grabbed the clothes on Chen Lie's chest, and stood up with all her strength. After standing up, she began to climb onto Chen Lie. That posture...
Chen Lie understood.
He took the person off his body, held him in his arms, strode to the bedroom door, and saw that Su Qinghu was already asleep. After thinking for a while, he held Xiao Lituaner in one hand, wrote a note and put it on the table, then went out.
After going out, he easily carried the little guy on his neck.
Xiaoli Tuaner was happy, baring his teeth, holding Chen Lie's head, and excitedly looking left and right at a height he could not normally reach, saying something in his mouth.
When he was excited, seeing that Chen Lie didn't react, he patted Chen Lie's head and shared his feelings with him.
"Bang!"
"Um."
"high!"
"Um."
Chen Lie smiled, without any impatience, and carried him around aimlessly.
"Don't let the child get sunburned!"
Zhao Hongyun came out to throw something away. Seeing Chen Lie carrying his son on his back strolling around in the hot sun, he immediately frowned and said, "The child is so delicate. Find a shady place."
Chen Lie responded, and only put the little Li Tuan'er down after Zhao Hongyun left. He took a closer look at the little Li Tuan'er, and saw that he was slightly red. He held the little guy in his arms and walked home with him.
I gave him a bath again with the special soap, wiped him clean, and held him in the living room to coax him to sleep.
Maybe he was really sleepy, Chen Lie carried the child around the living room two or three times, and Xiao Lituaner felt a little drowsy.
When he finally closed his eyes, Xiaoli Tuaner looked at Chen Lie again, gave him a soft smile, and then fell asleep peacefully.
After carrying the person into the bedroom and placing him in the middle, Chen Lie lay down. He looked at Su Qinghu and Xiaoli Tuaner for a while, then felt sleepy and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dinner time.
Ms. Meng and Chen Bai were already preparing in the kitchen. Su Qinghu, half awake, walked over and asked, "Dad, Mom, where are Chen Lie and the others?"
There are only three of them left at home now.
Ms. Meng put the washed cucumbers in the basket and replied, "Erdan wanted to know how to buy things here. Xiaoli Tuaner has also woken up, so he didn't want to disturb your rest, so he simply took the three children out and showed them the way."
"oh."
Su Qinghu nodded and said, "I'll go wash my face and come back to cook."
After a while, Su Qinghu tied her hair up and walked into the kitchen refreshed. She took a quick look at what her parents-in-law had prepared and started to work.
"These clams were sent to me by my neighbor. He said that they had spit out the mud and sand, and asked us to cook them directly." Ms. Meng pointed to a small bucket in the corner.
Su Qinghu: "Yeah. How would you like to eat?"
"saute."
"Boiled."
Chen Bai and Ms. Meng spoke at the same time, then looked at each other. Chen Bai changed his words and said, "Boil it in water."
Ms. Meng withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.
Su Qinghu smiled, "Then stir-fry half and boil the other half, and then make the sauce later."
She knew what her mother-in-law meant. She wanted the child to eat less and have less salt.
My father-in-law probably subconsciously thought that it would be more refreshing to drink this way.
Ms. Meng glanced at the clams in the bucket and nodded, "That's fine."
This small bucket of clams looks like a lot.
"Where's the fish? How do you want to eat it?" Su Qinghu asked the two while cooking.
Chen Bai looked at Ms. Meng and said nothing.
Ms. Meng: "Let's steam it. We'll just enjoy it fresh and tender, and then Xiao Lituan will have more to eat."
Other methods contain too much oil and salt, which is not good for such young children.
Before leaving, the child's great-grandmother gave her a lot of instructions, which she thought made a lot of sense.
Xiao Lituan'er is not even one year old yet, so even when eating, less food and less salt is the best choice.
Su Qinghu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
When Chen Lie came back with his three children, the meal had already been prepared and Ms. Meng was washing the pot.
"Milk?" Erdan raised the bucket in his hand. "Are you washing the pot already? Huzi gave us clams..."
This was the first time he had seen this thing with his own eyes.
"We'll eat them tomorrow." Su Qinghu said, "Let them spit out the sand today."
Although Erdan didn't quite understand, he didn't ask too much. He put down the bucket and went to wash his hands.
Dadan was also holding something in his hands, some fruits.
Seeing Su Qinghu looking over, he said, "Zhao Chang gave it to me."
Su Qinghu hasn't eaten this fruit for a long time.
It’s not that we don’t have money to eat, but transportation is inconvenient now. Not being able to buy it is one thing, but whether it can maintain its freshness and taste once it arrives is another.
Looking at the display again, Su Qinghu couldn't help laughing.
Maybe it was really a blood relationship, or the natural instincts of father and son, because Xiaoli Tuaner was tugging at Chen Lie, and had no intention of asking anyone else for a hug.
Even when they sat down to eat, Xiaoli Tuaner showed no intention of leaving him.
Su Qinghu: "You come to feed him?"
Chen Lie looked at the dishes on the table, then looked at Su Qinghu and asked, "Can he eat them all?"
"Of course!" Erdan answered first, "He can eat anything except beef or mutton that's too big."
After saying that, Erdan looked at Chen Bai and Ms. Meng and said, "Grandpa and grandma, please start eating."
Although Chen Bai and Ms. Meng were already accustomed to their children's dining etiquette, they were still moved and touched again.
After saying "OK", the two of them started eating.
Seeing the two of them start eating, Erdan smiled evilly, picked up a small piece of bitter melon, and passed it to Xiaoli Tuaner's mouth, "Come on, come on, brother will feed you first!"
Xiaoli Tuaner had never eaten bitter melon since he was born. He just thought it looked good, a bit like the green-fleshed melon he had eaten not long ago, so he put it in his mouth without hesitation.
The two brothers were so fast that no one could stop them.
So they watched helplessly as Li Tuan'er's little face wrinkled up, his brows knitted in disgust and pain, he smacked the food with his little baby teeth a few times, and swallowed it.
After eating, he pouted and there were tears in his eyes.
"Bah—"
Xiaoli Tuaner called out to Chen Lie, puffed out her cheeks and looked into his smiling eyes for a moment, then pursed her lips, lowered her head, pulled at his arm, and started to nibble on it.
To be more precise, it is teeth grinding.
Maybe he wanted to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth.
Dadan was shocked and slapped Erdan on the back of the head. "Are you stupid?"
Erdan scratched his head, and as if to remedy the situation, he quickly took Xiaolituaner's water cup, lifted his head up, and fed him water.
"Are you stupid? You eat whatever I tell you to eat?" Erdan muttered, unable to help but laughing like a goose.
Xiaoli Tuan'er washed away the bitter taste in her mouth and accused him tenderly, "Brother, you're bad!"
The pronunciation was so standard that even Erdan was confused.
