70s: Raising a Baby

The children hadn't seen Hei-sang for almost a week, and as soon as they got home, they stuck to Hei-sang's side to play, even though it was very hot outside.

"This way, Heisang, come here."

"Here, Heisan."

Several children kept throwing a ball back and forth, and Hei Sang also had a lot of fun, running here and there.

The house is now full of Heisang's toys, most of which were made by the children themselves.

Toys for pets are not popular these days, and there are hardly any to buy.

The ball that Heisang wants to play is replaced by a baseball, and Ye Jinzhi discovered this ball by accident.

"It's hot outside, bring Hei Sang in to play."

Several children were flushed from the sun, sweating on their heads, and they were still running around in the sun.

Hearing their mother's call, the children reluctantly brought Heisang back, otherwise they would be reluctant to come back.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh." Hei Sang panted heavily, sticking out her tongue. Fortunately, the hair on her body was short, and it was so long like other dogs that it was troublesome to take care of it.

"Drink water." Ye Jinzhi fetched a basin of water for Heisang.

"Gulu Gulu." Hei Sang suddenly buried his head in the bowl, gulping down the water.

"A lot of energy."

Yuan Shaochen took out Ye Jinzhi's things that needed to be repaired there, and when he saw them coming in, he said something lightly.

It was a very common sentence, but it frightened several children.

"No, no." He waved his hand quickly, fearing that Yuan Shaochen would let them do the punishment in the morning.

"Mom, I suddenly remembered that I haven't practiced my calligraphy today, so I'm leaving first." Ah Zhao ran away without looking back.

Only a few younger brothers were left there in a daze. Seeing that the elder brother was about to run away, they didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Mom, I haven't practiced the piano today, I'm going to practice the piano."

"I haven't done my homework yet, so I'm leaving first."

Only the youngest, Ayan, was left in the living room, watching his brothers run away blankly, at a loss.

"Mom." Little pitiful as if not knowing what to do.

Ye Jinzhi glared at Yuan Shaochen angrily, and took Ayan's hand out.

"Mom will cut fruit for you to eat."

Tu left Yuan Shaochen alone in the living room, looking at the backs of one big and one small, Yuan Shaochen touched his nose, a little innocent, what's wrong with him, didn't he just say a word.

There is almost no shortage of fruit at home, most of them are sent by Uncle Zhou, and people from his place often send these things to him. In addition, sometimes Ye Jinzhi sees some rare fruits and buys them back for a few children to try. .

He is often away from home, and he doesn't like to eat these things.

At the beginning, when they delivered it, he just put it there, and he forgot it when he got busy with work.

Later, when Secretary Yan came to the house, he went to the kitchen and smelled the smell.

Later, Zhou Guocheng distributed all the fruits sent to those subordinates, and when they came over, these fruits were delivered to their homes one by one.

There are many children in the family. Since Ye Jinzhi started to take over the business, and the house is so big, it needs to be cleaned every day.

Uncle Zhou hired a few people who had worked in Ye's house before, who happened to be able to take care of the lives of a few children, but the main thing was food, and the third child took care of the rest.

"What would Ayan want to eat?"

A Yan couldn't calm down at all. He walked on the promenade, holding his mother's hand and bouncing around, very excited.

"I want to eat watermelon, peaches, mangoes, and apples." She said all the fruits she thought of with her fingers.

Ye Jinzhi just smiled and listened to him, without reminding him if he still had these at home.

"What kind of fruit did Ah Yan eat yesterday?" Because there were a lot of fruits in the house, Ye Jinzhi asked his aunt to cut some for the children every day, otherwise they would forget it when they played.

Ayan tilted his head and thought for a while, grinning.

"Ayan eats peaches, brother eats apples, watermelons, and en pears."

Ye Jinzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that there were so many.

"Do you eat something different every day?"

"Well, Ayan doesn't like apples, brother Azhao doesn't like peaches, it's hairy."

This surprised Ye Jinzhi, she didn't know how many children were so picky.

"What about Brother Axu and Brother Ahao?"

"Brother Axu likes to eat mangoes and lychees, Brother Ahao?" Ayan got stuck, and it took him a long time to figure it out, "Well, Ahao likes to eat both."

Ye Jinzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard that the comment on Ah Hao was this.

The mother and son chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the kitchen. Fortunately, there was a long corridor to cover the sun, and it was quite a long way down the road.

"Miss is here." It was the cook who said this. Their family used to be servants of the Ye family, and it was only when Father Ye was about to leave later that they dispersed all the servants in the family.

When Uncle Zhou was looking for the cook, he didn't expect her. It was because she heard the news from somewhere and came to the door.

Said it was desperate, the head of the family left, leaving two children, orphans and widows.

Ye Jinzhi saw that she was pitiful, and that although the clothes were worn out, they were still clean, so he asked her to come over.

"Sister Jiang, I'll bring the children to cut some fruit." Ye Jinzhi nodded with a smile.

She really didn't miss it, this sister-in-law Jiang cooks excellent dishes, and she is also very particular, much better than Ye Jinzhi's own before.

"Hello, Auntie." Ayan knew that this was the auntie who cooked for them, and looked up at her, with a sweet mouth, "Auntie's cooking is delicious."

For those who cook, when others praise their cooking, it is the greatest affirmation of themselves, with a smile on their faces.

"Whatever Master Ayan likes to eat, I'll make it for you."

Ye Jinzhi told them this address at the beginning, just call them by their first names, and it would be awkward to call them young master or something.

But none of them refused, and said that this is the rule, etiquette cannot be broken, Ye Jinzhi has nothing to do with them, so he has to let them go.

However, it can also be seen that the Ye family's previous rules were still very strict, and these servants were also very loyal.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, you are busy, you don't need to follow us." Ye Jinzhi looked back and saw that she had been following her, letting him go.

"The young lady called me for something." She didn't dislike her, and went about her own affairs.

"Choose what you want to eat."

Everything in the kitchen is neatly arranged, and fruits and vegetables are also separated.

Because the weather is hot now, Ye Jinzhi also taught them to make ice cubes by themselves, so that things are not easy to break, otherwise the many fruits will be broken in such a hot weather.

"Take less, we'll have dinner later."

Ayan was very greedy, he wanted to take everything he saw, and knew that he couldn't hold it with his hands, so he ran to get a basin to fill it.

"Okay." Hearing that he wanted to eat, Ayan picked some more out of it.

"It's still too much. If Ah Yan wants to eat, can mom make it for you in the afternoon?" Ye Jinzhi did it himself.

"Oh."

"Help mom get a basin of water." The hand was sticky after cutting the fruit.

"Water is coming." Ayan came over with a basin full of water carefully, afraid of splashing out.

"Thank you baby." Ye Jinzhi kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey." Ayan covered his face shyly, revealing a pair of eyes blinking outside.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, give these to Niuniu and the others." Ye Jinzhi cut two servings.

"No, no, they won't eat this." Aunt Jiang hastily refused.

The young lady has been very kind to them. Seeing that she has children, she also gives them a place to live, and also includes food. They can't ask for anything more.

Ye Jinzhi couldn't refuse and stuffed the fruit bowl into her hand, "It's okay, Niuniu and the others are still growing, and there are a lot of fruits at home, so I usually cut some for Niuniu and the others to eat."

Those two children, Ye Jinzhi, have seen them. They are about the same age as Axu and the others, but much thinner than Axu and the others. Their hair is yellow and yellow. Ye Jinzhi felt distressed when he saw them.

"Niuniu, what about them?"

"Doing homework in the house." Speaking of the two children, Mrs. Jiang was very proud.

Although the family conditions are not good, their grades are always in the top few, and they are very competitive.

"Come out to play more when you are on vacation, don't stay in the house all the time."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and didn't answer, but Ye Jinzhi also knew that she put all of herself on the two children and had more demands on them.

This is someone else's family matter, and Ye Jinzhi is not good at interfering.

"Miss." Seeing that Ye Jinzhi was about to leave, Mrs. Jiang suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong?"

"Does my uncle have any hobbies? I will make some of my uncle's favorite food then."

"He doesn't like sweet ones, but spicy ones. You can do what you see."

"You can't grab it with your hands." One of Ye Jin turned around and saw A Yan reaching out to grab the fruit to eat.

"Hey, mom." Seeing that he was discovered, Ayan smiled embarrassedly, and retracted his hand.

"Hush!" Seeing that they were about to reach the study, Ye Jinzhi signaled Ayan to keep quiet, she wanted to see what they were doing inside.

"Hush." ​​A Yan covered his mouth, his big eyes couldn't stop being excited, as if he found out that his mother had done something bad.

Ye Jinzhi secretly opened a gap, and saw three children sitting around the ground, what the hell was going on, and the ground was also piled up with all kinds of things.

"this."

"it is this."

They were still arguing in the middle of the game, Ye Jinzhi wanted to see what they were doing, but they happened to be in the way and couldn't see.

"Bang bang, mom is here." Ye Jinzhi knocked on the door, only to hear a crackling sound inside.

"Wait a minute, come right away." As if afraid of Ye Jinzhi coming in, Ah Zhao yelled inside.

Knowing what they were doing behind her back, Ye Jinzhi stood at the door and waited patiently without urging them.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Two minutes later, the door opened slowly, revealing the embarrassing smiling faces of several children.

"Give you fruit, what are you doing?"

It's not as messy as she saw just now, but if you look closely, you can still see some clues, look around.

"Mom, what did you cut?" The three children knew that nothing could escape their mother's eyesight, and they didn't dare to let her look at them, so they pulled their heads and sat down.

"Some fruit, eat quickly, it's still cold." Seeing their nervousness, Ye Jinzhi didn't bother to pursue it, anyway, he would know sooner or later.

"Brother, I chose it."

Seeing his brother eating so happily, Ayan began to claim credit.

The children were eating in the study, and Ye Jinzhi sent another dish to Yuan Shaochen.

But thinking of just now, Ye Jinzhi felt a little headache, afraid that he would lose his temper.

Sometimes the tempers of their father and son are exactly the same, and Aojiao likes to pretend to be wronged.

Sure enough, when Ye Jinzhi entered, Yuan Shaochen clearly saw her coming in, but pretended not to see her, and even turned around on purpose.

Holding a book in his hand, he couldn't help but look towards Ye Jinzhi, but when he found Ye Jinzhi looking over, he quickly looked away.

Ye Jinzhi thought it was funny, knowing that he was just waiting for him to coax him. Sometimes a man is like a child, so naive as hell, he says don't want to but doesn't in his heart.

"Eat some fruit, I cut the mango you like for you."

Ye Jinzhi was a little surprised when he first found out that he liked mangoes, because at that time he already knew that Yuan Shaochen didn't like sweet things, but he had a special love for mangoes.

Yuan Shaochen glanced at the mango, swallowed his saliva, and turned his head away from looking at it with great ambition.

"It's very sweet. I've been cutting it for a long time. You can try a piece." Ye Jinzhi took a small fork and fed it to his mouth.

Yuan Shaochen pursed his lips and refused to eat, he was still upset that Ye Jinzhi just glared at him.

"Take a bite, take a bite, I have worked so hard for so long, my hands are sore, I cut it just for you."

Ye Jinzhi noticed that Yuan Shaochen's eyes were a little loose, took the book from his hand, and sat down on his lap.

Yuan Shaochen subconsciously supported her waist, fearing that she would fall.

But he quickly realized what he was doing, and quickly let go.

Frowning, with a bad tone, "What are you doing?"

"Come, take a bite." Ye Jinzhi took advantage of the opportunity and fed the mango into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Ye Jinzhi tilted his head to look at him.

Yuan Shaochen was a little annoyed, chewing the mango in his mouth, watching her silent.

Ye Jinzhi was not discouraged, so he turned around and forked a piece of mango, but because the coffee table was a little far from the sofa, it was difficult for Ye Jinzhi to keep the fork still.

When she didn't pay attention, she leaned back and almost fell, but she was not afraid, knowing that Yuan Shaochen would support her.

"Be careful." Seeing that she was about to fall, Yuan Shaochen quickly put his arms around her waist, regardless of whether he was still sulking.

Ye Jinzhi smiled where no one was looking, like a cunning little fox, and took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Yuan Shaochen's neck.

"Don't be angry."

Yuan Shaochen quickly realized that he had been tricked by her, his face was a little ugly, it was obviously her fault, why did he make trouble for no reason.

"I was wrong, don't be angry, okay?" Ye Jinzhi lowered his head and pecked lightly on his mouth, coquettishly said.

"Who will you help after that?" Yuan Shaochen asked awkwardly.

"Help you, I will always help you in the future." Ye Jinzhi replied without thinking, it's not easy to coax an old man to be jealous.

"Hmph, just coax me." Yuan Shaochen's voice was still somewhat aggrieved.

Where did Ye Jinzhi hear this, and quickly put his arms around someone to coax him.

"How come, I will stand by your side from now on, I promise, don't be angry." Ye Jinzhi pecked his lips a few times and said coquettishly.
