70s: Raising a Baby

In the end, Yuan Shaochen failed to deliver the meal because Ye Jinzhi was going out soon and was not in the company.

However, Ye Jinzhi gave him a task before hanging up the phone.

"Are you at home today?" Although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty. If not, he would not bring her food.

"Yes, is there anything you want me to do?" Yuan Shaochen asked with a smile.

"You go pick up a few children in the afternoon and see how Niuniu is doing."

"Mr. Ye." The door of the office was opened by the assistant. When he saw that she was on the phone, he didn't say anything. He did an oral test with his mouth and tapped his wrist to indicate that the time was almost up.

Ye Jinzhi nodded silently and waved for him to go out first.

"Okay, I will complete the task."

The word "picking up children" has been too long for Yuan Shaochen. When he lived in Haishi, because Ye Jinzhi was also in school, he would pick them up almost every day as long as there was time.

Since arriving here, Yuan Shaochen has not picked up the child yet, and he felt a little strange for a while.

But before giving him much time to think about it, someone knocked on the door.

Since he was the only one at home, he did a few casual things. After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, he heard the guard calling him outside the door.

"Captain, the leader asked you to come over in the afternoon."

Yuan Shaochen nodded, "What's the matter?"

When the guard heard this, his face was a little tangled, as if he was trying to decide whether to say it or not, but he was ultimately defeated by Yuan Shaochen's eyes.

"The chief seems to want you to write a summary of this exercise." He refused to reveal any more words.

But Yuan Shaochen also understood, and he waved to the guard.

"Come in and sit for a while. I'll get something and you can help me give it to the chief later."

Yuan Shaochen had already written the exercise summary. After he woke up, he did not make a phone call first, but went to the study to write this. He was used to doing this kind of thing before, and he had already guessed that the superiors would ask for it.

"Captain, this..." The guard was dumbfounded and looked at the stack of papers handed over without reaching out. He thought the group leader knew about it, and it wasn't just for this matter that the leader called him over at this time.

Yuan Shaochen saw that he didn't reach out and wasn't angry, so he put the summary in front of him and sat down in front of him.

"I know what the chief means. You can help me bring this to him first, and I will go there tomorrow." In short, it means that I won't go there today.

The guard didn't speak, his face was very embarrassed, but he also knew Yuan Shaochen's temper. If he said he didn't want to go, he would definitely not go today, unless you could beat him and tie him up.

But this is not realistic. Looking at the entire military region, there are only a few people who can beat Yuan Shaochen.

"Then, Commander, I'll go back first." The guard cried with this face.

Yuan Shaochen nodded with satisfaction, "I won't give it away."

As soon as they left, Yuan Shaochen did not rush upstairs. Instead, he sat quietly in the living room for a while, his eyes dim and unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report." The guard here did not complete the task and only brought back a stack of reports.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the office.

"Chief, this is the summary of the exercise conducted by the former regiment leader." The guard put the report in his hand on the table with a tense face.

"Where are the others?"

"The former regiment leader said that he has something to do today and will come over tomorrow." After repeating Yuan Shaochen's words, the guard's face was calm, but his heart was full of anxiety and anxiety.

"Hmph, that kid." Fortunately, the chief didn't pursue the matter further. He picked up the report on the table and waved his hand to let him out.

Here, Yuan Shaochen had already arrived in the study. He was scribbling on the paper with a pen and frowning.

I don't know how long it took, but Hei Sang, who had been lying on the ground and dozing, suddenly stretched out, slowly stood up, first walked around the study room, and then stopped next to Yuan Shaochen.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Heisang called to Yuan Shaochen, but Yuan Shaochen turned a deaf ear and seemed not to hear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch." Heisang screamed louder, pounced, and jumped onto Yuan Shaochen's knees.

"Wow--" The pen tip deviated from the direction and drew a long mark on the white paper.

"Heisang, get down." Yuan Shaochen felt his head jump, and he suppressed his temper and did not throw it out.

But Heisang was not afraid of him. He pulled his knees and turned to call to the clock hanging on the wall.

Yuan Shaochen finally remembered that he had to pick up the child and touched his head.

"I understand, get up quickly and go pick them up."

Seeing Yuan Shaochen nod, Heisang jumped off him, with pride in his eyes, "Ouch."

He ignored him and ran downstairs. When Yuan Shaochen packed his things and got dressed and went downstairs, he saw Heisang lying at the door waiting for him.

Yuan Shaochen had also heard of Heisang's unwavering efforts to pick up several children every day, but he had never seen it.

"Let's go." As soon as Yuan Shaochen opened the door, Heisang, who was still lying on the ground, immediately rushed out without stopping.

"Heisang went to pick up the kids from school again." On the way, I met a few people who saw Heisang and joked.

I'm afraid no one in their compound doesn't know that Heisang not only won the banner, but also picked up and dropped off children, just like a human being.

When Heisang heard someone calling him, he ran forward without stopping.

But something was different today. Usually he ran all the way to school, but today he ran a few steps and then stopped and looked behind to see if Yuan Shaochen had followed.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch." Hurry up, hurry up, you're going to be late.

Heisang's sense of time is much better than other people's. He is never late. Every time he arrives at the school gate, the school bell just rings.

"Is the former captain going to pick up the child?" Those people saw Heisang stop and looked back, and saw Yuan Shaochen walking away from behind.

"Yes." Yuan Shaochen nodded, not intending to talk more. He was afraid that if he was slower, Black Sang would come over and drag him.

"Jingle Bell--"

When they arrived at school, they heard the school bell ringing.

There was no parent at the school gate, so the only two people standing at the gate attracted attention.

The gatekeeper glanced at him several times. Yuan Shaochen noticed it but didn't pay attention. He watched the students come out in large numbers, looking for his child.

"Go home."

"School is over."

"Go play ball later."

"."

Chattering voices reached Yuan Shaochen's ears, but these voices stopped tacitly when he saw Yuan Shaochen.

There were many children from the courtyard here. They all recognized Yuan Shaochen, so they were so surprised when they saw him.

"Uncle Yuan, are you here to pick up Azhao and the others?" A child hesitated and walked up to Yuan Shaochen.

Hearing the voice, Yuan Shaochen lowered his head. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember which family the child belonged to.

"right."

The child had an envious look on his face when he received the answer. Not only was he envious, but every child present was not envious. Their father had never come to pick them up since they were little.

However, Azhao and the others came out very late. After school, Azhao and the others had to go to the kindergarten to pick up Ayan. Today, they also had Niu Niu.

The kindergarten was a little far away from their teaching building, so when they came out, almost everyone on campus was gone.

"Brother, I took good care of Niu Niu today. If Liu Pangpang tried to bully him, I would fight him back."

Ayan was jumping up and down along the way, telling his brother about his glorious experience in kindergarten today, and making gestures while talking.

When Azhao and the other three went to pick up Ayan, their teacher said that Ayan had a fight today, but he didn't say much about the specific reason.

"Did you win?" Ah Hao asked with concern.

Ayan raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, he even cried. He was so embarrassed." He also stretched out his fingers to make signs on his face.

Niuniu looked very quiet under Ayan, but they were all used to it, and the brothers walked out of school chatting and laughing.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch." Heisang heard their movements from a distance and shouted from the spot.

Yuan Shaochen also saw the figures of several children from a distance and watched them approach the door.

Yuan Shaochen's tall figure was very conspicuous against a group of carrot heads. There were not many people at the door now, and they saw Yuan Shaochen's figure at a glance.

"Dad, it's dad who's back." Ayan took the lead in letting go of his brother's hand and ran towards Yuan Shaochen.

"Daddy is back." Although the children were not as exaggerated as Ayan, they were all very excited and couldn't help but speed up their steps.

"Dad, when did you come back?"

When Ayan rushed over, Yuan Shaochen walked to the center of the door. When he got close, he bent down and hugged him.

"I came back in the morning." Yuan Shaochen hadn't seen the children for several days and missed them very much.

The older children were embarrassed to act like a spoiled child to their father like Ayan, but the dependence in their eyes remained undiminished.

Yuan Shaochen put Ayan down and rubbed the heads of several children vigorously.

"dad."

"dad."

The excitement of several children made the quiet Niu Niu stand out. Niu Niu looked up at the man he had only seen on the first day with clear eyes.

Yuan Shaochen didn't know how to deal with this child, but he didn't ignore him and touched his head.

"Let's go home." Yuan Shaochen walked towards home with a few children.

It had been a long time since he had seen Yuan Shaochen, and A-yan was in a very high mood. He either wanted to be hugged by his father or talked non-stop along the way.

However, the other three children, besides being embarrassed to ask for hugs like Ayan, kept talking to Yuan Shaochen with their heads held high along the way, as if they wanted to make up for what they had not said in the past few days.

"Dad, I miss you so much. Why were you out for so long?" Ayan's words were full of accusations, and his little mouth pouted unconsciously.

Yuan Shaochen couldn't tell him what he was doing, so he could only pat his head to comfort him.

"Grandma Li is not here today. Dad will cook for you. Whatever you want to eat."

"Wow, that's great, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

"I want to eat braised fish."

"."

Neither Grandma Li nor my mother cooks the best food at home. Dad’s food is the best, but he is too busy. They haven’t had the food cooked by him for a long time.

"Do your homework first."

As soon as he got home, Yuan Shaochen walked to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and said without looking back.

Ayan, who was still immersed in his father's return, was put down by his father as soon as he entered the door. He took Niu Niu's hand and wanted to play with toys, but was knocked back to the bottom by Yuan Shaochen's words.

With his head drooped, he took Niu Niu's hand and turned around, heading upstairs.

"Oh." I almost forgot about my father's temper and was careless.

Azhao and the others had guessed it a long time ago and ran straight to the stairs as soon as they entered the door. When they saw Ayan like this, they laughed mercilessly.

"Humph." Ayan closed her mouth and ignored them, and went straight to the desk where she practiced calligraphy.

There is no homework in their kindergarten, but their parents will assign homework and practice calligraphy and piano every day. When I first started learning, I was full of interest, but now it has been boring for a long time.

Children are uncertain and have to be held by someone every time they practice calligraphy. Fortunately, they hold on, and Ayan's progress is obvious.

However, the three older ones are not so lucky. They have one more thing than Ayan, and they have homework assigned by the school every day.

"Ayan remembers to teach Niu Niu together." Ah Xu understands Ayan's psychology very well.

Sure enough, when Ayan said this, he had a sad face at first, but when he heard that he was going to be a primary school teacher, his mood immediately changed.

He pulled Niu Niu and asked excitedly, "Can you write calligraphy with a calligraphy brush?" Without waiting for Niu Niu's answer, he took his hand and picked up a calligraphy brush.

The family spent a lot of money on brushing practice for several children. They bought a lot of brushes for them, all kinds of brushes, and they still chose the brushes that suited them.

Rows of brushes hang on the wall. Some of them are used like a bald person, with few hairs left. Some are frizzy, but there are also many that look brand new and unused.

Here, A-yan excitedly led Niu Niu to pick a brush. In fact, it was not Niu Niu who picked it, but he picked it himself. After looking at the row of brushes, A-yan picked the one he liked and handed it to Niu Niu very domineeringly.

"You use this."

After picking up the brush, he dragged Niuniu to the small desk where he practiced calligraphy. Because Ayan was young, he stood shorter than the desk.

I was worried that he would accidentally fall while standing on a chair while practicing, so I made another small desk and gave it to him to practice calligraphy. He used to be the only one using this desk, but now that Niu Niu is here, someone finally joins him. .

They were the only ones playing in the study room, while the three older children went back to their rooms to do their homework.

If they go to the study room, let alone an hour, or give them an entire night to complete their homework, Ayan will come over from time to time to pester them.

"How do you pronounce the word "brother"?"

"Brother, I spilled the ink."

"Brother, can you play with me?"

No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will make him angry, let alone the three children whose tempers are not that good.

When Yuan Shaochen wanted to cook down below, he remembered that Ye Jinzhi had told him to prepare some fruits for the children when they came back.

He put down the vegetables he just picked up and went to get the fruit. Fortunately, he had helped Ye Jinzhi do this before and was very skilled in knife skills.

When he carried it upstairs, he saw two children in the study whose little faces were covered with ink for no apparent reason, but they were still there without noticing.
