MTL - 70s: Raising a Baby-Chapter 48

   Chapter 48

   I don't know what Ah Hao said in the past. When the former young minister came out, he was holding Ah Hao with an unstoppable smile on his face.

   Ye Jinzhi didn't ask, as long as their father and son get along well, it is the nature of children to be close to their mothers, and most children have a sense of awe for their fathers.

   "Mom, Dad said he helped me do the laundry." Ah Hao couldn't be prouder.

   "Your father is back, he has to wash all the clothes." Ye Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

   "Really?" Ah Hao turned around and asked. In the past, Young Master Yuan woke up very early. When the children got up, their clothes were already hanging outside.

   Yuan Shaochen did not deny that, he did not think that men should not do housework, especially in later generations, men do housework everywhere.

   I don't want to let my mother do everything for the three children, and I think it's a matter of course.

   "From now on, when your father is not at home, you have to help your mother with the housework. Your mother is a girl, and we are men, and we have to take care of the girls."

   This kind of awareness should be grasped from the child, so that they know that they are part of the family, and they should also pay for the family.

   "We will help my mother in the future."

   The two elders were a little worried when they saw that Ah Hao was taken away by his mother for so long, and he didn't come back. They were afraid that his mother would punish him. They wanted to come in and have a look.

   "Let's go, do the laundry." Yuan Shaochen took his three children out to do laundry, and there was never such a relaxed and natural atmosphere with the children.

   After a while, Ye Jinzhi heard a burst of laughter outside.

   She didn't bother them outside either, so Young Chen finally found time to play with the children.

   Even if he doesn't have assignments, he still leaves early and returns late at home. He has very little time to spend with his children at the end of the day, so he can take advantage of these few days to get along well.

   She went to the balcony of the upstairs study, just in time to see the scene downstairs.

  I had nothing to do, set up my easel, and started painting the scene downstairs.

   In fact, some pictures have been reflected in my mind early on, and I don’t need to look down, the pen in my hand can’t help but draw.

  When Yuan Shaochen was downstairs, he saw Ye Jinzhi painting and didn't want to disturb her. Yuan Shaochen took his three children to wash the clothes.

  Take them to the prepared sand table and teach them to write on it with twigs.

   "You learn to write with hard brush first, and you are learning brush calligraphy."

   Each of the three children held a wooden stick, imitating the original young minister, and gestured on the ground.

   "When you write a character, think about what the character looks like, what the strokes look like, and have a picture in your mind."

   nodded as if he didn't understand. Ah Zhao had a certain foundation and could learn quickly, while Ah Xu liked to read since he was a child, and understood quickly.

  Only Ah Hao, when Ye Jinzhi taught him, his mind wandered outside. Ye Jinzhi felt that he was still young and did not force him.

   Yuan Shaochen pointed at the two big ones a little, then squatted beside Ah Hao and watched him write.

   Ah Hao was a little nervous, he also knew that his writing was not as good as his two brothers, and he was even more nervous because he was afraid that his father would call him stupid.

   Yuan Shaochen didn't say anything, just watched him write, although he didn't know what the word was.

  A Zhao and A Xu were almost done writing, so the young minister Yuan asked them to come out with a notebook and a pen.

   "After practicing each character here, if you feel satisfied, write the character in the notebook and practice slowly until you are satisfied."

   Ye Jinzhi occasionally raised his head and could see the picture of the father and son surrounded by four people, it was very warm, and it felt like the years were quiet.

   The noisy afternoon passed immediately, and the young minister Yuan saw that the sun was about to set, and dusk appeared.

   "Let's cook." Looking at the three children, an idea popped into Yuan Shaochen's mind.

   "Are we cooking for my mother?" A Xu asked earnestly with a small face.

   "Yes, does Axu want to cook for my mother?"

   "Think." A Xu grinned.

  Among the three children, Ah Xu is actually the most like Ye Jinzhi. This does not mean appearance, but in terms of appearance, the three children all have the advantages of their parents, and they all have their own characteristics.

   It's character. Axu's character is very similar to Ye Jinzhi's. They take things very seriously, but they are a little alienated towards people they are not familiar with.

   But he has two lively older brothers and younger brothers, and he doesn't have to worry about being alone.

  A Zhao's character is a bit like a big parent. He has learned to take care of his younger brother since he was a child, and his two younger brothers are also very dependent on him.

  Light from the moment he went to school, the two younger brothers have been looking forward to picking up the elder brother all day long, and even needing the elder brother to wear clothes.

   If the two of them are little angels, then Ah Hao is the combination of an angel and a devil.

   When you are sensible, it can melt your heart, but sometimes, it can also give you a heavy blow in your heart.

   Yuan Shaochen took the three children to the kitchen and assigned them work.

During the    period, three children also requested.

   "Father, I want to fry too."

   Those who have never cooked have an inexplicable yearning for cooking.

   Yuan Shaochen had no choice but to hold three children, each of them took turns to fry for a while, symbolically turning over the dishes with a spatula.

   Even so, the three children were content and proud.

  In their hearts, they feel that I have already cooked and I will do it.

  Because of the troubles of the three children, this meal took half an hour longer than usual. Yuan Shaochen felt that he was shooting himself in the foot. No, it's here again.

   "Dad, I'll come, I'll come."

   Having experienced the fun of cooking, Ah Zhao wants to do it again.

   Seeing that Yuan Shaochen was about to put the dishes, he took his hand to stop him, expressing that he wanted to do it again.

   "Are you sure?" Yuan Shaochen never thought of it, so he turned over the spatula a few times, and was so confident that he thought he could do it.

   "I'm sure, Dad, I'll do it." Ah Zhao nodded his head seriously, indicating that he could.

   Before Yuan Shaochen could react, he grabbed the vegetable basket in his hand and threw it down.

   "Huahuahua——", the water on the surface of the dish was not drained, and the oil in the pot splashed immediately when it encountered water.

   "It hurts." Yuan Shaochen knew that Ah Zhao held up the oily hand to show Yuan Shaochen, his eyes were watery.

   The two little ones hid far away when they saw the oil splashing, and now they don't dare to get close, so they just watch from a distance.

   "Brother Ah Zhao, are you alright?" Ah Hao stood at the door cutely and called.

   Yuan Shaochen wiped a sweat and took him to flush.

   "Father, what's the smell?" Ah Zhao moved her little nose and smelled a mushy smell.

   "Father, the dish has turned black." The two little ones saw that the oil was gone, and when they approached cautiously, they saw that the dish in the pot had turned black.

   "Mother, it's time to eat."

   As soon as Ye Jinzhi closed his pen, he heard A Xu's voice coming from the door.

   "Okay." After washing his hands, he took Axu's little hand, and the mother and son went downstairs together.

   "Mother, try it now, is it delicious?"

  A Zhao had already forgotten that he had made the dish mushy, and put the dish he made into Ye Jinzhi's bowl, his eyes full of anticipation.

   Afraid of hurting the child's self-confidence, Ye Jinzhi felt that it was delicious even if it was unpalatable.

   "Well? Is this what you made?" How does this taste the same as what Yuan Shaochen did.

  A Zhao saw that her mother had eaten it, and smiled embarrassedly, the dish he wanted to cook was already mushy.

   "But, but I also did it, I helped my father turn it over."

   Ye Jinzhi saw the helpless expression on Yuan Shaochen's face, and knew that this meal was not easy to cook, and it was obvious that he had been tossed a lot.

  After the meal, Ah Zhao might want to make up for the mushy meal, so he volunteered and said, "I'll wash the dishes."

   Ye Jinzhi is not happy when someone washes the dishes. The opponent who washes the dishes is very hurt. After raising three children, someone will choose to wash the dishes in the future.

   "Azhao took his two younger brothers to wash together."

  A Xu and A Hao naturally have no objection, they all listen to A Zhao's words, and they follow what A Zhao does, like a follower.

   "I'm going to play basketball later, do you want to see it?"

  When Yuan Shaochen went to the cafeteria to get the lottery, he met Guan Peng on the way. Everyone rested today and organized a basketball game at night.

   Yuan Shaochen originally wanted to refuse, but then hesitated.

   "Playing basketball? You can still play basketball."

   Ye Jinzhi thought that everyone in the army was training all day and night, and there was no rest time at all, not to mention recreational activities.

   "Yes, everyone will organize these when they are resting."

   Yuan Shaochen wanted Ye Jinzhi to see it. She had never seen her play basketball.

  When he was in the army, he always heard from those people that they and his girlfriend met on the basketball court, and every time they played basketball, their girlfriend would watch it below.

   When the fight is over, he will give them water. He and Ye Jinzhi didn't know each other in school, so naturally there is no such scene.

   "Huh?" Ye Jinzhi deliberately didn't answer him, pretending to think about whether to go.

   The corners of his eyes slid into Yuan Shaochen's face, a little nervous, but he had to pretend that he was okay.

   "Cough, it's okay if you don't want to go, after all, it's so hot and there are mosquitoes."

   Yuan Shaochen was afraid that she would not want to go, so he found himself a step down.

   Ye Jinzhi likes to see him like this, this little expression that doesn't match his identity is simply too cute.

   "Go, of course I'm going, if I don't go, I'll have nowhere to cry if I'm hooked up by a little girl."

   "No, it won't." Yuan Shaochen was deeply afraid of her misunderstanding.

   "Why not?" The more he was like this, the more Ye Jinzhi wanted to tease him.

   Yuan Shaochen was a little embarrassed, but he still said firmly: "I won't be hooked up, I just like you alone." After saying that, his ears turned red.

   Ye Jinzhi stopped teasing him: "Go, I'll go with the child to cheer you on."

   "Also, it doesn't have to be like this, but if you insist, I can do it." Yuan Shaochen was afraid that she would really regret it again, so he quickly added another sentence.

   Ye Jinzhi didn't look at his awkward look, and wanted to see how the three children were washing dishes.

   "Crack—" Before reaching the door, I heard the sound of broken bowls.

   "What's wrong?" Afraid that they would hurt him, Ye Jinzhi quickly walked outside.

   I saw the three children staring at each other, standing there stunned, probably slipping their hands.

   "Mother, the bowl is broken." Ah Zhao was a little overwhelmed, and when he listened carefully, he heard a slight tremor.

   "It's alright, a broken bowl means peace every year, are you injured?"

   squatted in front of them and comforted him softly.

   "No injuries."

   Ye Jinzhi's voice had a kind of magic power, which slowly calmed the nervous hearts of the three children.

   "Mother, we're fine."

   Seeing that Ye Jinzhi wanted them to wash their hands, but the bowls had not been washed.

   "The bowl has not been washed."

   After he finished speaking, he continued to squat down to wash the dishes. Little Fatty's hands were not as big as a bowl. The three brothers worked together, one took the bowl, the other poured water, and the other took the washed bowl and set it up.

   "It's done." The three children grinned at Ye Jinzhi.

  "Awesome." These dishes were washed very cleanly without any oil stains.

   "Dad is going to play basketball, let's go cheer up for Daddy, shall we?"

   Ye Jinzhi took the rag and carefully wiped the hands of the three children.

   "I'm going, I want to play too."

In the   Xiaoyangfang, Father Ye also made a basketball hoop, not only for adults to play, but also a small one for children to play with.

   The three children had a lot of fun playing every day during that time, but they haven't played since they moved here.

   Ye Jinzhi also brought a bottle of water with him when he went, for fear that they would have to drink water when they were tired from playing.

   I also met Aunt Liu on the way.

   "leaflet."

   "Aunt Liu, who are you?"

   There was no one by her side, nor anything in her hand.

   "Didn't we stop the basketball game today? The two boys in my family ran away after dinner. I'll go take a look."

   "Your young minister also wants it."

   Ye Jinzhi smiled and nodded, the three children couldn't wait, so the young minister Yuan had to take them there first.

   "Yes, he will also play today."

   To be honest, Ye Jinzhi has never seen Yuan Shaochen play basketball, so he is still looking forward to it.

   "Then you have to take a good look today. In the past, as long as the young minister played, everyone's eyes were on the young minister."

  Liu Guihua already knows this very well, as long as the former Young Minister is on which team, whichever team will win.

   "Ahhh-"

   Before entering, I heard a group of people screaming, it seems that it has already started.

   Ye Jinzhi found three little ones, and the three children were so excited that they kept shouting.

   Looking for the figure of the Yuan Shaochen in the crowd, the Yuan Shaochen is very conspicuous, among the group of young men, he is the tallest.

   Not only that, the ball almost grew in the hands of Yuan Shaochen, and a group of people surrounded him.

   Ye Jinzhi also heard the voices of many young girls behind him discussing Yuan Shaochen's voice.

  The girls in the army were much bolder than the girls outside. Ye Jinzhi noticed that some of the girls were staring at the young minister Yuan.

   Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I feel that my private property is being looked at, but I also know that this is the most common in later generations.

   Yuan Shaochen was also looking for Ye Jinzhi's figure, and when he saw Ye Jinzhi, he smiled at her and waved his hand.

   "Mom, Dad waved to us."

   The three children jumped and shouted and waved, letting Young Master Yuan see them.

   Ye Jinzhi clearly felt that the whispering voices from behind had stopped, and their eyes were on him.

   Ye Jinzhi was not afraid, turned around slowly and smiled at them.

   The two little girls should be young. When they saw her turn around, their eyes were a little flustered.

   By the way, what will your parents say when you break the bowl?

   When I smashed the bowl, my mother said to me: "Smashing is safe, as long as people are fine."
