70s: Raising a Baby

While they were standing aside watching Ayan water his teeth, a voice came from outside.

"Former captain."

"Captain Gu." Yuan Shaochen turned around and saw that he was carrying a bucket.

"I caught a few fish, and if I share them with you, my family won't be able to finish them all."

As the children of the two families play well, the adults will naturally become familiar with them.

"Fish?" When Ah Hao heard the fish, he ran over to see it.

"Yes, we caught too many." Captain Gu passed the bucket forward so that he could see clearly, "I released some big ones and some small ones."

"Then I won't be polite to you." Yuan Shaochen didn't hesitate.

"Ayan, bring the bucket to put the fish in."

Ayan had just finished watering, and when he heard there was a fish, he ran to see the fish without caring about his teeth.

"It's so big." Ayan looked down and looked carefully, and even stretched out a finger to touch it.

"Don't move." Captain Gu looked at him and quickly stopped him, but it was too late.

With a "pop-" sound, the fish flicked its tail, and A-yan and A-hao, who were closest, were splashed with water.

"I've wasted a little time catching this Yuye." Captain Gu explained, "Go back quickly and take a shower and change clothes, or you'll catch a cold."

"Bah, bah, bah." Ah Hao spat with his mouth open. The fish just got water into his mouth.

Here, Ah Xu has come over with a bucket.

"Come on, you have a lot of family, I'll give you a big one." Captain Gu said with a smile as he grabbed it.

"Thank you, uncle." Ah Xu raised his head and smiled at him.

"Okay, I'll leave first. I'm still waiting for me at home. You should quickly take them to wash up so they don't catch a cold."

Parents pay special attention to their children's health, especially now during the cold season.

Things have gotten better in the past few years. The children in the courtyard have started to exercise early and their health has improved a lot. In the past, half of the children in the courtyard would catch a cold during this season.

"OK."

Yuan Shaochen did not delay and walked back with a few children.

"Why are they all wet?" Ye Jinzhi turned around and found that both children were wet with water.

"Is it raining outside?" He said, and looked out the window.

"No, Captain Gu just sent a fish. Ayan went to touch the fish and rolled around, and was splashed with water."

Yuan Shaochen said as he took them up to take a bath, "I'll take them to wash up, and you can continue your work."

Ye Jinzhi also stood up and packed up the documents on the table. "I took the documents upstairs to read. It's too noisy down there."

Everyone was coming in and out, and a few children were quarreling from time to time. There was no quiet downstairs at all. Aunt Li would be cooking again later, so she might as well go upstairs.

"Let me help you." Yuan Shaochen rushed the two children up first to get a change of clothes. Ahao could wash them by himself, but he needed help from an adult to wash them cleanly.

"I'm leaving first. Just call if you need anything." Yuan Shaochen helped her put things on the desk and kissed her before leaving.

Ye Jinzhi nodded, watched the door close, and lowered his head to continue reading the documents he had just finished reading.

These documents cannot be read until eight or nine o'clock in the evening today, so we must hurry up.

The light was on in the study room, and for a moment the only sound of Ye Jinzhi could be heard flipping papers and writing. The children outside the door were warned by Yuan Shaochen and stopped making noise.

Two of them went to take a bath, and the remaining two went back to the room to do their homework. Heisang was also very good at reading people's eyes, so he knew that he couldn't make any noise now, so he followed the little master to the room obediently and nestled at their feet.

It was an hour later when the study door was opened again. Yuan Shaochen came to call Ye Jin to go downstairs for dinner.

"Okay, right away." Ye Jinzhi was not a procrastinator, so he rubbed his head and followed downstairs.

Downstairs, several children had taken their seats early, and the food was all served, waiting for Ye Jinzhi to come down.

"Let's eat."

The dish we ate today included fish. Their family rarely cooks this dish. It’s not that everyone doesn’t like it, but the children in the family are not very good at eating fish.

When Ye Jinzhi was young, his eyes hurt from picking fish bones for them. Later, Ye Jinzhi stopped cooking fish at all, and even if he did, he would use it to stew soup.

But at that time, they lived by the sea, and some fish in the sea had very few spines. When Ye Jinzhi saw them, he would buy them and cook them at home. They had big spines that few children could stab.

But after so many years, A-Zhao is a little better, but the two twins and A-Yan are still at the point of asking for criticism.

But with Yuan Shaochen here, they naturally didn't dare to act coquettishly and let their mother help them find faults.

In fact, according to Ye Jinzhi, it would be better not to eat, but the children didn't know whether the more they couldn't eat, the more they wanted to eat. They rushed towards the fish with their chopsticks.

"Eat slowly and watch each stab carefully before taking it in."

Ye Jinzhi didn't know what was going on with their mouths. Every time he swallowed, he discovered that the fish bones were not picked out cleanly.

"Hmm." Several children also learned the lesson and knew that they couldn't eat meat with thin thorns, so they chose meat with only big thorns.

Ye Jinzhi is not as enthusiastic about eating fish as they are. She always feels that no matter how the fish is processed, it always has a fishy smell. No matter how well it is cooked, everyone thinks it doesn't have it, but she can still eat it.

Although this fish is big, it has a lot of heads and tails. No one in the family eats fish heads and tails, and Yuan Shaochen doesn't eat them either. Aunt Li only eats one fish and two, making roasted fish for the body and stewed fish for the head and tail. Soup.

"Mommy mommy."

What Ye Jinzhi was worried about happened. Halfway through eating, Ayan started to call his mother and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Did you get stabbed?" Ye Jinzhi didn't care about eating, and directly put down the bowl and chopsticks, asking him to spit out the food in his mouth.

"Drink vinegar." Yuan Shaochen brought the vinegar bowl that he had prepared in front of him and asked him to drink it.

"Mom." Ayan didn't want to. The taste had already penetrated their noses before they drank it. He turned around and wanted to act coquettishly with Ye Jinzhi.

"There's nothing I can do. Who told you not to pay attention?" Ye Jinzhi couldn't help it. They couldn't see it because it was stuck in his throat, and there was no doctor at home.

"If you don't drink, are we going to the hospital?" Seeing that he still refused to drink, Yuan Shaochen started to increase his tactics.

"Oh oh oh, no, no, no hospital." Ayan was scared when he heard about going to the hospital, and tears were about to fall from his eyes.

"Take a big mouthful of rice and see if you can swallow it."

Ye Jinzhi also knew that the vinegar didn't taste good, so he pointed at the rice in his bowl and asked him to try it.

When Ayan heard that he didn't need to drink vinegar or see a doctor, he hurriedly took a big spoonful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

Several children didn't dare to eat, so they just looked at him stupidly holding their bowls.

"Take your time, are you going down?" Ye Jinzhi was always ready.

Ayan swallowed it hard, blinked his eyes, felt it carefully, and then nodded to Ye Jinzhi and the others.

"Then we still eat fish?" Ye Jinzhi joked from the side.

"Eat." Ayan nodded firmly.

This reminded Ye Jinzhi of a joke. There was a time when the kitchen didn't know that several children would get stuck when eating fish, so they made a basin of fish for several children to eat.

As a result, after eating, two of the four children were attacked. Fortunately, the third child and the others were there at the time. The immediate measures taken were to drink jealousy according to what everyone said, and Ayan resisted drinking jealousy.

She happened to not be at home to eat with them that day. She didn't know what happened, but Ayan imitated it to her later.

The first call I received was Ayan saying aggrievedly on the other end of the phone: "The baby won't eat fish anymore because it got stuck in his throat."

As a result, a few days later, Aunt Liu sent another meal containing a dried fish, which happened to be on the table that day.

Ye Jinzhi originally thought that eating like this that day would not happen again.

result--

"Didn't you say you won't eat fish anymore?" Ye Jinzhi teased him when he saw that he was going to catch fish again.

"Eat, eat fish." Ayan is a typical stubborn person who heals his scar and forgets the pain.

Ye Jinzhi and Yuan Shaochen almost didn't eat a fish. The four children ate it all. The whole fish was eaten clean by them.

"Get up and take a walk." Seeing that they were about to sit on the sofa, Ye Jinzhi pulled them back.

After eating so much, my stomach is bulging. If I sit down all at once, it is easy for food to accumulate and my stomach will hurt at night.

"Oh." Several children got up reluctantly and circled around the living room. Heisang watched the excitement from the side and also ran around behind the children.

Ye Jinzhi didn't go upstairs to read the documents immediately. It was already too late, and he didn't care if it was a little later. He simply followed a few children around the living room.

"Whoosh, whoosh~" The wind outside kept beating on the window, as if it was going to break the window.

"Don't lick." Ye Jinzhi found that Ayan couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the area where there were no teeth.

"You can't lick it. Does Ayan want her teeth to be as ugly as Aunt Zhang's?"

This Aunt Zhang used to live in the courtyard house. Sometimes it was still early after dinner, so Ye Jinzhi would take a few children out for a walk, so they couldn't stay at home all the time.

They always meet some people when they walk. Aunt Zhang left a deep impression on several children because of her big buck teeth.

When he heard that his teeth would become so ugly when he licked them, Ayan was so scared that he didn't dare to lick them again.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, Ayan can't do it anymore."

Ye Jinzhi nodded, "Also, you have to brush your teeth carefully when you change your teeth. You can't do it the same as before, otherwise small bugs will grow on your teeth and bite Ayan's teeth into black holes. Then Ayan won't be able to eat anything. My teeth will hurt.”

Ye Jinzhi scared him, but it was true. After several children in the family had their teeth changed, Ye Jinzhi was very tight about brushing their teeth.

Nowadays, it is very troublesome to have teeth filled and corrected. Everything is not as good as it was in later generations. Moreover, it is very painful to have tooth decay and cannot be rubbed.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." When Ayan heard that his teeth would get cavities, he was so scared that he immediately covered his mouth, a little worried.

He ran up to Ah Xu and opened his mouth wide, "Brother, look at whether there are any bugs in my teeth."

Ah Xu just listened to the whole process, and now he saw him running in front of her, with a smile on his face.

He pretended to look at it for a long time, his face was heavy, and he looked at Ayan with hesitant and worried eyes. He didn't know whether he should say this.

Ye Jinzhi knew that things would not be simple when he saw him taking Ah Xu. Of the children in the family, Ah Xu seemed to be the best-behaved and obedient, but he was also the most clever.

No matter you are big or small, you are not willing to provoke him. He might cause you a stumbling block at some point.

"I'll go up first." Ye Jinzhi hooked Yuan Shaochen's finger and pointed upstairs.

As soon as Ye Jinzhi went upstairs, he heard Ayan's crying coming from downstairs. He smiled helplessly and shook his head unconsciously.

Next, Ah Xu didn't expect A Yan to react like this. He didn't say anything yet, so he started crying. The look he showed just now disappeared immediately, leaving him at a loss and not knowing what to do.

"Dad, wuwuwu, daddy, Ayan's teeth are broken, Ayan will have no teeth, wuwuwu, he won't be able to eat delicious food, and will become a grandfather, wuwuwu."

Ayan cried pitifully, wiping his tears with one hand and grabbing Yuan Shaochen's hand with the other.

Yuan Shaochen looked at his crying young son in front of him with helplessness, and he also understood the meaning of his wife's smile before going upstairs.

Leaving a mess for herself, she slipped away by herself. Looking at A Yan crying so miserably and A Xu at a loss next to her, Yuan Shaochen was angry and amused.

"I, when did I say you had worms in your teeth?" Ah Xu immediately retorted after Yuan Shaochen glanced at him and felt a chill running down his back.

Ah Zhao and Ah Hao sat aside and watched the fun. Finally, someone was able to deal with this brat. He succeeded every time he teased them in the past.

Unexpectedly, Ayan did not follow the routine, and suddenly panicked to see how he would end up.

"Really, hiccup, really hiccup?" When Ayan heard it, he immediately stopped crying and hiccupped, and asked pitifully.

Ah Xu was afraid that if he said otherwise, he would continue to cry, so he nodded quickly.

"No, no, it's very clean. If you don't believe it, go look in the mirror."

When Ayan heard that it was not true, he slowly came to his senses, but he couldn't stop crying.

"Hiccup, burp, burp, brother burp me, burp me." He couldn't say a word clearly. Seeing that the tearful bun was about to cry again, the two people watching the show couldn't sit still.

Dad definitely won't coax him. It's better not to scold or cry. They can't count on it. Looking at Ah Xu next to him, he was also frightened by his sudden cry. It was just the two of them.

"Come, take a deep breath with me, exhale - inhale -"

"Hiccup, hiccup--" But the hiccup just couldn't get better, and the brothers were at their wits' end.

"Drink some water." Yuan Shaochen on the side handed over a glass of water.

"You are such a crybaby. I have never seen anyone who can cry like this." At noon, I lost my teeth and cried. I kept crying for almost an hour. I am still crying now. I can't shed these tears dryly. I still have to spend my whole life crying. Cry all my tears.

Ahao whispered to the side, but he didn't dare to let Ayan hear it. If he cried again, there would be nothing he could do.

Here, a group of people downstairs were busy coaxing Ayan.

In the study.

Ye Jinzhi was also startled by the sudden call.

"Hello, who's there?" Ye Jinzhi didn't pay attention at first, looking at the documents and answering the phone.

result--

"What?" Ye Jinzhi looked solemn and looked away from the documents on the desk.

I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. Ye Jinzhi's brows became more and more wrinkled, his face became less pretty, and the air around him became colder.
