70s: Raising a Baby

"Then sit here and let's fight together." Ayan patted his side, slightly surprised that he was willing to talk, but not surprised either.

Niu Niu slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to A Yan's side, and sat down imitating his example.

As soon as the weather cooled down, Ye Jinzhi asked Aunt Li to lay the carpet. Several children in the family, especially Ayan, didn't like to sit on the sofa and always liked to sit on the floor. Fortunately, Aunt Li liked to keep things clean, so the floors at home were mopped every day.

The other three children had already lowered their heads and started. They didn't react when they heard Ayan's voice. They didn't even look at it, or they were so absorbed that they didn't even hear it.

"Ayan, what do you do with so much?"

After finally putting together one piece, A-Xu was about to reach into the box to get another piece of the puzzle, when he found that A-Yan had taken another one.

"I've put it together." Ayan shouted loudly, with unmistakable pride in his voice.

Ah Xu didn't believe it, "Let me see." She raised her head and looked in the direction where he was.

"How about it? It's awesome." Ayan placed the assembled puzzle pieces in front of him one by one and looked at Ah Xu proudly.

Ah Xu saw the child sitting next to him and was a little curious. Judging from the situation, he should have put together these puzzles.

"Why is he willing to fight for this?" Ah Xu was a little curious. No matter how they talked to him just now, he ignored them.

Ayan pretended to be mysterious, covered his mouth and snickered, "I won't tell you."

"It's time to eat. Go wash your hands and ask your parents to come down for dinner."

Aunt Li took the dishes out one plate after another and told the children to stop playing and get ready to eat.

"Okay." Ah Zhao took his brothers and put the toys back into the box, and then directed Ah Hao to call his parents.

"Mom, it's time to eat." Ah Hao was lazy and didn't want to run up the stairs, so he just stood at the top of the stairs and yelled.

"Call me little ancestor gently, don't hurt your voice." Aunt Li had just put down the dishes. After hearing what he said, her hands trembled and she almost spilled the soup.

After living for so many days, Aunt Li is still not used to having several children shouting like this at home every day, and she is always frightened.

Ah Hao raised his little face and looked at Grandma Li, and said sensibly: "Grandma Li, let me help you." Then he followed him into the kitchen.

"Goodbye, little ancestor, go wash your hands and eat quickly, and don't follow him to join in the fun." Aunt Li quickly stopped him and refused to let him enter the kitchen.

These are all young ancestors, each one more noisy than the other. The last time they entered the kitchen, the kitchen almost changed completely. If she hadn't known, she would have suspected that there was a thief in the house. It was a mess.

And last time, when the food was just ready, some little ancestors ran in and asked to help her take out the food. She saw that the children were so enthusiastic and it was hard to hurt their self-confidence, but in the end the food was Knocked over.

She specially picked out something for them, but who knew that it overturned as soon as she walked out of the kitchen door, not only breaking the bowl, but also splashing soup everywhere. Fortunately, no one was injured.

After that, Aunt Li didn't dare to let these little ancestors enter the kitchen. She was afraid that they would just play with knives next time, and if something happened to her, she wouldn't be able to save her life.

"Hehe." Seeing that Grandma Li was so nervous, Ah Hao scratched her hair and remembered what she had done before.

"Go and wash your hands quickly." Aunt Li pushed the man out and drove him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

She went in to clean up the kitchen. She used to clean up the kitchen quickly after cooking, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.

In the bathroom, Azhao looked at the two children in front of him with greetings in his eyes. When did these two people have such a good relationship?

"Why haven't you washed it yet?"

Ye Jinzhi came down from upstairs and found that several children were still in the bathroom, but no one was there.

"Mom, look." Azhao moved away, revealing Ayan who was teaching Niu Niu to wash his hands.

Ayan is a coquettish little brat in front of his brothers. He always wants to be hugged and cries when he is unhappy.

But now Ayan looked like a different person in front of them, looking like a grown-up in clothes, teaching Niuniu to wash his hands in a strict manner.

"You need to rub your palms together, and you also need to rub the inside of your fingers." He taught others what Ye Jinzhi had taught him, with a very serious face.

But what surprised Ye Jinzhi the most was Niu Niu. Although Niu Niu still didn't speak, he responded and watched A Yan's movements to imitate them.

This really surprised her. This child was willing to communicate with Ayan, which meant that he had a high chance of recovery.

After washing his hands, Ayan handed Niuniu the small towel he used to wipe his hands.

"Wipe your hands." The milky voice coupled with the serious expression made everyone around him laugh.

"Mom, I teach him to wash his hands."

As soon as Ayan turned around, he saw his mother standing outside, eager to take credit from her.

Ye Jinzhi was not stingy with her praise, "Ayan is so awesome, he can take care of his brother."

"Hehe." His little face turned red when his mother praised him, showing his pride.

Ye Jinzhi also discovered a situation, that is, the child began to cling to Ayan. He would follow Ayan wherever he went, and he would ignore others talking to him. He would not pay attention to anyone except Ye Jinzhi and Ayan.

However, this is considered a good phenomenon, but Ye Jinzhi is very sad. According to the child's situation today, as long as the parents are not so eager to have a second child, if they wait another year, the child may be no different from usual now. Yes.

But no one could predict what would happen in the future, and Ye Jinzhi didn't know that there would be another member in the family. This was something they could not expect.

While waiting for dinner, we encountered another difficulty. There was another child in the house who needed to sit in a child's chair.

When customizing the dining table, Ye Jinzhi just looked at it because it looked good. He didn't expect that the table was too high for Ayan. When he sat on the chair, he could only see the top of his head and couldn't see the top of the table.

They were worried about letting him stand on the chair while eating. It was too dangerous. It would be very dangerous if he accidentally fell under the table or fell over the table accidentally.

Ye Jinzhi looked at the two children who were about the same height and couldn't reach the table from where they were sitting.

"These" people all looked at each other. There was only one child's chair at home, which was not enough for two children.

Ye Jinzhi was also dumbfounded, never expecting such a thing to happen.

"How about giving them a small bowl and some food for them to sit on the coffee table to eat?" Yuan Shaochen suggested.

Now there is no other choice but to do this. You can't leave a child eating alone at the top. What would that mean?

"Azhao, can you bring your brother to eat on the coffee table? Niu Niu, like his brother, can't reach the table?"

Azhao looked at Niuniu's height, then looked at the table, and nodded, no problem. He didn't really care where he ate anyway.

"Aunt Li, let me get some bowls for the children." When Ye Jinzhi went in to get the bowls, he saw Aunt Li cleaning the table.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Li didn't understand. The table at home was not big enough for cooking, so why should the children eat separately.

Ye Jinzhi explained the reason to her.

"Hey, we have forgotten that this child is already seven years old. The children in our compound practice this every day and grow faster than ordinary children." After staying in the compound for so many days, Aunt Li discovered that the children here Children grow up fast.

Ye Jinzhi didn't know what to say, "I'll call someone later to deliver another chair."

"Azhao, take your brother to serve the rice. Mom will help you prepare the dishes."

The children in the family have big appetites. Aunt Li cooks a large plate slowly every time. Today, there are four grown men like the fourth child and more.

"Is it okay to eat sitting on the floor?"

The coffee table is also short, and the stool is too high to sit on when eating, so I simply sit on the floor, which is carpeted anyway.

Ye Jinzhi felt sorry for her that her carpet was ruined after sitting on it like this. Ayan was the most dishonest in eating. After eating one meal, the rice and vegetables in front of him were enough for him to take another bite or two.

"Be careful when eating, don't spill it on the carpet." Even so, Ye Jinzhi still warned him, hoping that he would pay attention.

"Yeah." Several children were holding rice bowls and watching their mother bring the dishes in front of them.

"Ayan, can you help mother watch brother Niuniu eat?" Ye Jinzhi knew that Niuniu would listen to what Ayan said to him, and ordered him to watch the child.

"Okay, I promise to complete the task." He saluted with a playful smile.

Ye Jinzhi saw that they were getting along well, so he didn't stay long and let them have a good meal.

Ayan got the task of taking care of people, and now he was very interested in Niu Niu, "This is very delicious, you eat this."

Watching Niu Niu eat only white rice without any vegetables, Ayan looks like a little adult and puts his favorite vegetables into his bowl.

"Ayan, please stop pinching." The three children saw the soup splashing all over the table. Fortunately, they covered the coffee table with a layer of newspaper before eating.

When Ayan was called like this by his brother, he also discovered the bad things he had done. He didn't say anything but just smiled stupidly at his three brothers.

"How about you eat well and let him pick up his own food?" He can't ask others to help him pick up the dishes every time he eats.

"I just called and asked. The doctor is free in the afternoon. I made an appointment with him at three o'clock. Then one of you will pick him up at the door."

"I'll go." Lao Si answered.

No one has any opinions. We will wait until the doctor sees the situation in the afternoon.

"In the future, there will be another slow eater in the family."

Everyone had almost eaten, so they got up and went to see the children. Except for the slowest one, Axu, and Niu Niu, everyone was full.

"Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry." Ye Jinzhi also heard A Hao's voice.

But the speed was slow enough. They chatted about some things and it took longer than usual to eat.

But the two of them still had less than half a bowl of rice. Ah Xu was already used to it and chewed slowly with his small mouth puffed out, while Niu Niu also looked unhurried.

"These chopsticks are not as flexible as Ayan." Xiao Qi noticed next to him.

The man turned his head and glanced at him. Xiao Qi may have realized that he said the wrong thing, and added with a stern expression: "More, just use more."

Not long after the meal, Yuan Shaochen was about to go back.

"I'm leaving first. If you need anything, call my office."

Ye Jinzhi sent him to the door. She had seen all his busy days and knew why.

"Don't worry." Yuan Shaochen lowered his head and pecked her mouth gently.

Ye Jinzhi smiled softly and gently stood on tiptoes to help him adjust his collar, "Go quickly, don't keep them waiting too long."

Watching Yuan Shaochen leave, Ye Jinzhi's expression gradually solidified. Both of them knew why he was so busy, but neither of them pointed it out. They both pretended not to know, and they understood each other tacitly.

"Mom." Several children in the room started calling when they noticed that Ye Jinzhi had not come in yet.

When Ye Jinzhi heard the child's voice, he sighed and drifted away with the wind. He only wished that he could come later that day.

She was very selfish, she just hoped that it would not be Yuan Shaochen's turn and that he could be safe.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jinzhi entered the house and saw that several children had begun to doze off.

"Go upstairs and rest for a while."

Several children have had the habit of taking naps since they were young. Ye Jinzhi also had it originally, but as her work increased, she gradually lost the habit of taking naps.

"What about him?" Of course Azhao knew it was time to take a nap, but there was one more person at home, and he didn't know how to arrange it.

Ye Jinzhi did not answer him, but asked: "What should we do?"

Azhao was dumbfounded. He asked his mother because he didn't know, but his mother wanted to answer by herself.

"Come, sleep with us?" Azhao asked tentatively.

Ye Jinzhi smiled and said, "You make your own arrangements." She didn't interfere.

Although the family said it had prepared two rooms for the children, and they would sleep in one room, the children were very close to each other and very clingy, so they always slept together.

Ye Jinzhi didn't interfere. They could sleep however they wanted. The bed was big enough for them to do whatever they wanted.

"Ayan, sleep with him inside." Everything else remains the same. Although they sleep like this, every time Ye Jinzhi goes to see them, they have changed their ways and slept in different positions.

She waited until they fell asleep before leaving.

"Aunt Li, you should go and rest for a while. You have been working for so long."

"Hey, I'll go as soon as I finish this."

Ye Jinzhi nodded, then moved his eyes to the four people beside him, "Would you like to sleep for a while? The guest rooms are all tidied up."

"Miss, I'm not sleepy."

Ye Jinzhi didn't force them. If they weren't sleepy, they wouldn't be sleepy, so they would help pack their things.

"Help me lay out this carpet." The carpet was stained by several children eating just now, and Aunt Li had already taken it away to wash it.

Fortunately, he had plenty of carpets at home. He had prepared many styles, so he didn’t have to change them if they got dirty.

Seeing them busy, Ye Jinzhi opened the window for ventilation. When the children were downstairs, she didn't dare to open the window for fear of freezing them.

"I'll go to the backyard and cut some flowers." When Ye Jinzhi opened the window, he glanced at the backyard and found that the flowers in the backyard were blooming very well.

"Heisang." Ye Jinzhi opened the back door, and Heisang slipped out through the gap at her feet before anyone could move.

I haven't let the wind go yet today. During the day, several children were at home and they had to take Heisang with them wherever they went. I forgot to take Heisang out for a walk.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Although he was still at home, he was still in the outside air. Heisang was running around happily in the backyard, so excited that he didn't feel cold.

When I was a kid, I fell off a table and fractured my hand, which put me in a cast.

There is also the child who refuses to eat at the table. One of my mother’s colleagues has a rule at her mother-in-law’s house that children are not allowed to eat at the table.
