MTL - 70s: Raising a Baby-Chapter 59

   Chapter 59

   As soon as the family walked to the door, they saw cars approaching in their direction.

   "One, two, three, Mom has three cars."

   Ye Jinzhi saw that some children were chasing after the car.

   The cars were getting closer and slowly stopped in front of them.

   Heisang smelled an unfamiliar smell, and his body began to tense. He yelled at the people who came, blocked in front of them, and did not allow them to approach.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little relieved, he learned to look after the house in less than a day.

   "Heisang, be good, be good, stop barking." Axu bent down and picked up Heisang, telling him to stop barking.

   "Happy New Year Uncle Zhou."

   Ye Jinzhi saw Zhou Guocheng get out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

   "Happy New Year." Zhou Guocheng's face showed some warmth, and he greeted her with a smile.

   The three children also stood beside their parents with wink, imitating Ye Jinzhi.

   "Happy New Year, Grandpa Zhou." With a milky voice, he put on a red cotton jacket, like a lucky doll on a New Year's painting.

   Zhou Guocheng laughed even more happily.

   The people who got off the car behind them all wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes, but they saw Zhou Guocheng smile.

   "Happy New Year, you guys." Zhou Guocheng said and took out the red envelopes he had prepared.

   You can see that the red envelopes are bulging with the naked eye, and I don’t know how many are put there.

   The three children were a little hesitant when they saw the red envelopes handed over.

   Zhou Guocheng also noticed the hesitation of the children and smiled in his heart. The three children were taught very well by them.

   Ye Jinzhi nodded at the child, and the three children reached out to take it.

   Don't forget to say thanks at the end: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou."

   "Uncle Zhou, let's go in and talk." Yuan Shaochen didn't say anything.

   "It's so cold outside, the child can't stand it." Yuan Shaochen noticed that the child's face was flushed red by the wind.

   Ye Jinzhi also followed behind and said, "Go home." She noticed that there were more and more people outside, and many people were watching from a distance.

   Zhou Guocheng smiled and nodded, and a group of people walked home.

   The group of people who followed behind also followed behind with large and small bags. When they entered the house, they did not feel that the living room was small, but that it was crowded with people.

   For the first time, Ye Jinzhi felt that the house was not big, especially since Uncle Zhou brought a group of big men, it took up more space.

   "Uncle Zhou sit down." Ye Jinzhi motioned for Zhou Guocheng to sit down.

   But she didn't know what to call the group of people behind her, which made her a little embarrassed.

   After Zhou Guocheng sat down, seeing Ye Jinzhi's embarrassed expression, he said, "Let's go first after putting things down."

   Those people also consciously put down their things and left, and soon they heard the sound of cars driving away from the door.

   "Uncle Zhou wants tea or what?" Ye Jinzhi heard that he was coming and had already prepared a lot of tea for him to choose from.

   "It's fine." Zhou Guocheng had no preference for these.

   "Is it a habit to live here?" Looking at the well-organized living room, the whole home clearly reveals a warm scene.

   "It's pretty good here." Ye Jinzhi didn't understand what he meant.

   The three children were curious about the grandfather who would give them red envelopes, and kept looking at him.

   Seeing him staring at the picture frame on the wall, Ah Hao stepped forward with some pride, and came forward to introduce him very familiarly.

   "Grandpa, do you like this painting?"

   Zhou Guocheng saw this little radish that only reached his thigh and stood beside him.

   "Did you draw this painting?" Ah Hao shook his head: "This is my brother and I painted together, this is our family portrait."

  Axu retorted while listening to it: "It's not a family portrait anymore, we have more black mulberry in our family, we will add black mulberry in next time."

   When Heisang heard someone calling his name, he would say "Ow", as if to say, "What do you call me?"

   "Who taught you to draw?" Seeing that their drawing skills should have been taught by someone.

   "Mom, Mom's painting is really good." The three children looked at Ye Jinzhi with admiration.

   "Mom is very good, she can play the piano and say—" Ah Hao couldn't hold back the chatter, completely forgetting Ye Jinzhi's previous instructions.

   But fortunately, Ah Zhao stopped him as soon as he heard it, and stepped forward to cover Ah Hao's mouth to prevent him from speaking.

   "Uh, uh, brother, uh, what are you doing?" Ah Hao looked aggrieved.

  A Zhao ignored him, but instead said to Zhou Guocheng with a serious face: "Grandpa, don't take A Hao's words at heart, he said nonsense."

   And Ah Hao was also secretly taught by Ah Xu, and found that he almost told the secret of the family.

   Ye Jinzhi naturally heard the voices of the three children and felt a little embarrassed.

   "Smiled, Uncle Zhou."

   Zhou Guocheng instead waved his hand: "How wonderful, the three children know how to protect their mother, obviously they love you very much."

   Ye Jinzhi saw that the atmosphere was much better, and then saw the nanny sitting in the corner.

   "Uncle Zhou, are you here this time?"

   Zhou Guocheng also turned his head to look at the child, his face was not very good.

   took a long sigh: "Child, did your father ever tell you anything?"

   Ye Jinzhi knew that he was talking about this child, but in fact she didn't know much or what to say. do not know either.

   "My dad just told me that you might bring a child over there, but he didn't say anything."

   Zhou Guocheng knew that this was the case. Since the eldest brother moved away, he didn't want to talk about these things, and naturally he wouldn't tell her.

   "This is all the grudge of our generation, and now everyone who knows about it is almost gone, so I'm the only one left."

   Ye Jinzhi clearly saw a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

   "Child, I want to know what you mean, don't think about your dad, just yourself."

   Ye Jinzhi hesitated for a while, then turned his head to look at the young minister Yuan.

   "I, I don't know, it's quite sudden. Suddenly, there is another child, and it's still so young." Ye Jinzhi didn't know what she was thinking.

   "Wow-wow--" As soon as he finished speaking, the child started crying, and the nanny was a little flustered.

   "Maybe I'm hungry."

   Ye Jinzhi reacted, and just as he was about to stand up, he was held down by Yuan Shaochen.

   "I'll go."

   Then he walked over to the nanny, took the milk bottle, and went to the kitchen to make milk powder for the child, with skilled movements.

   Zhou Guocheng also stared at the Yuan Shaochen. Seeing how skilled he was, he nodded slightly.

   I heard from my eldest brother that he had found a husband for him in the countryside, and he also scolded him for being too impulsive and not thinking about her at all.

   Now it seems that he has found the right one, and looking at his actions, he knows that he often does this.

  Ye Jinzhi saw that Zhou Guocheng had been staring at Yuan Shaochen, thinking that he was puzzled.

   "The milk powder of several children is made by the young minister."

   "Your dad has a good eye." Zhou Guocheng nodded.

   Ye Jinzhi pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes kept staring at Yuan Shaochen.

   In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can find that their husband and wife relationship is very good, whether it is seen from the three children, or from the details of the home, it is a happy home.

   Yuan Shaochen tried the temperature and handed the bottle to the nanny.

  I thought it was all right, but the child kept crying.

  The nanny is also a little anxious, and the child can't be coaxed well.

  The three children also stopped the toys in their hands, ran to the nanny, and stretched their heads to look at the children.

   "Mom, why does he keep crying." His face was red from crying, and he cried with his mouth open.

   "Did you pull it?" Ye Jinzhi asked.

   "No, I don't drink milk, I just cry." The nanny was also a little scared, afraid that the child would have a problem with crying.

   "Show me." Ye Jinzhi saw that it was not a solution to continue crying.

  The babysitter put the child in Ye Jinzhi's hands, and miraculously, the child stopped crying immediately.

   "Mom, does he like you?" A Zhao looked surprised.

   "He laughed, Mommy he laughed."

   Ye Jinzhi looked down, and sure enough he laughed, his mouth opened wide.

   "He, he has no teeth, so pitiful, he can't eat anything without teeth." Ah Hao looked regretful.

   Ye Jinzhi was amused by him: "You didn't have any teeth when you were young, and you won't grow teeth until you grow up."

   Ah Hao was terrified, he reached out to cover his mouth, and only felt relieved when he touched his teeth.

   "Mom, I was so pitiful when I was young, I couldn't even eat delicious food."

   "A greedy eater, you know how to eat." A Xu looked at him with a hopeless expression.

   "Hey, pop." Ye Jinzhi smiled happily at her when he saw the child stretch out his hand to hold her finger.

   "Like it?" Yuan Shaochen saw that Ye Jinzhi felt a little distressed about the child.

   Ye Jinzhi didn't say anything, so the young minister Yuan said, "Just stay if you like it."

   "Dad, what do you mean?" Ah Zhao was seven years old, and clearly understood what the young minister Yuan said.

   "Do you want a younger brother?" was the first to ask.

   Ye Jinzhi is a little worried that the three children will not agree. She has seen many families have a second child in later life, and the children in the family will not agree, and even make various threats for it.

   "Are you going to keep him?" A Xu asked, staring at Ye Jinzhi.

   Ye Jinzhi thought again and again and decided to follow the wishes of the three children.

   "Do you want him to stay, Mommy listens to you."

   "Does he have no parents?" Ah Hao looked at them suspiciously.

   "Yes, they have no family."

   The three children did not expect him to be so pitiful.

   "Like Heisang, are their parents dead?"

   Thinking of not having parents, Axu thought of Heisang.

   "Ow."

   Ye Jinzhi didn't know that the child's parents were still there.

   asked Zhou Guocheng with his eyes, Zhou Guocheng nodded, and thought that their parents were dead.

"poor thing."

   "Then let him stay." Ah Zhao calmly threw out a sentence.

  Just like that, a few children left him behind with a word.

   "Do you have a name?"

   Zhou Guocheng was unclear: "Since you adopted him, then give him a name."

   "Can you give your brother a name?" Ye Jinzhi wanted one of the three children.

  The three children were assigned such an important task and were very nervous, and felt that they had to give their younger brother a nice name.

   "Mom, can you give us a few more days?"

   They have to study hard and not let the younger brother lose at the starting line.

   The child got sleepy after playing for a while, Ye Jinzhi saw him falling asleep and sent him back to the nanny.

   "This is a wolf." Zhou Guocheng noticed that this was different from the barking of an ordinary dog.

   Speaking of black mulberry, the three children were excited.

  Especially Axu, danced and told Zhou Guocheng how they found Heisang and how to bring it back. At the end, they said nothing.

   "Come and drink some water." Zhou Guocheng listened patiently, and thoughtfully noticed that his mouth was dry.

   "Grandpa brought you a lot of toys this time, do you want to take a look."

   Ye Jin noticed those big bags early on, so it was hard not to notice them.

   "Wow, there are toys again." The three children followed Zhou Guocheng, excited.

   Ye Jinzhi asked the nanny for the child's clothes. Since she decided to stay, she would take good care of her.

   "Uncle Zhou, do you want to stay and play for a few more days?" Ye Jinzhi found that he seemed to like Ah Zhao and the others.

   Zhou Guocheng waved his hand: "No need, my afternoon train is leaving."

   "So soon." Ye Jinzhi thought she would stay in the sea market for a few days, but on second thought, it seemed that every time she saw him, she made a few words in a hurry.

   "I asked Secretary Yan to bring you coffee last time, are you still used to it?" Zhou Guocheng prepared a lot of things.

   Ye Jinzhi's eyes lit up when he heard the coffee.

   "I like it, but it doesn't seem to be available here in the sea market." It's a pity that she almost drank the coffee that Secretary Yan brought last time.

   Zhou Guocheng smiled heartily: "I knew you like to drink. I brought a lot this time. If it's not enough in the future, I'll give you a call."

   Speaking of the phone, Zhou Guocheng remembered it again.

   "Come on, I'll give you a call, and you can call me in the future."

   Ye Jinzhi is welcome: "Thank you Uncle Zhou."

   "Pistol?" Ah Zhao saw a pistol with sharp eyes.

   "Do you like it? Grandpa specially gave it to you." Zhou Guocheng specifically inquired about the hobbies of the three children, all of which were tailored for them.

   "Axu's guitar, I guess we don't have this at home yet?"

  Axu saw the light in front of her eyes, her little face couldn't stop smiling.

   "Thank you grandpa."

   "And Hao's. Grandpa heard that you like painting very much, and prepared brushes and paints for you."

   The paints at home are not very complete, mainly because many cannot be bought. Ye Jinzhi sometimes has to adjust the colors by himself.

   Zhou Guocheng stayed until after lunch and left, chatting and laughing with the three children during this period, and was very happy.

   "Uncle Zhou, nanny, you can take it with you." Ye Jinzhi was not used to having strangers at home.

   In the past, my auntie would just cook a meal, help with the cleaning, and then left without living with her.

   Zhou Guocheng did not force it, but only said that if he needed it in the future, he could call him.

   "Goodbye, Grandpa Zhou."

"goodbye."

   The three children obviously liked Zhou Guocheng very much, and waved goodbye reluctantly at the door.

   watched the car disappear in front of them little by little, and they couldn't see a shadow at all before they entered.

  The living room was a mess, all the things brought by Uncle Zhou were messed up by the three children, and there was also an energetic Heisang.

   "Everyone packed up their belongings." Ye Jinzhi couldn't stand the mess at home.

   "Mom, there is also a red envelope here, it seems to be for you."

   When the three children were packing up, they found that there was still a red envelope with the mother's name written on it.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little strange, opened the red envelope, there was a stack of money, and a note.

   It said: Dad's little cotton jacket is collected!

   Ye Jinzhi saw the words written by Father Ye and recognized that it was Father Ye's words.

   His eyes were a little hot, and Father Ye was still thinking about "Ye Jinzhi" at the end.

  Because of seeing this red envelope, Ye Jinzhi's mood has been very low, and the three children dare not disturb their mother.

   Yuan Shaochen took advantage of everyone's inattention and sneaked upstairs to wrap a red envelope. On the cover of the red envelope was written: Yuan Shaochen's little princess!

   on Ye Jinzhi's dresser.

   Ye Jinzhi saw it every night. At that time, she was about to come up to put things, and when she passed the dresser, she saw a red envelope on it.

"Thanks husband."

   The three children looked at the Yuan Shaochen with a miraculous look, wondering how he coaxed their mother.

   But this good mood could not last forever because the three children were unhappy when they knew that the child was going to sleep with their parents.

   "I don't want him, Mom, I don't want him anymore." Ah Hao especially couldn't accept it, he felt that life had deceived him.

   "No, you can't say that." Ye Jinzhi didn't expect the conflict to appear on the first day.

   "Why can't I sleep with my parents, he can, woohoo~" Ye Jinzhi was helpless when he cried.

   "But my younger brother is still young, he sleeps alone, something will happen at night." He wanted to reason with him, but he couldn't listen.

   "What's the matter." Ye Jinzhi was about to collapse.

   Yuan Shaochen looked at them thoughtfully.

   "Let's sleep together tonight and make a small bed for my brother tomorrow."

   Sure enough, as soon as the original young minister said his words, Ah Hao stopped making trouble.

   Ye Jinzhi is helpless, that can only be done first.

   Fortunately, the bed is big enough that so many people can sleep without being crowded, but where to put the smallest one is a problem.

   Put it in the middle for fear of suffocation, and put it on the side for fear of falling.

   Later, Yuan Shaochen went outside and brought the sofa in, and surrounded the bed with the sofa, even if it fell, it would be fine.

  This night, everyone didn't sleep well. Children need to drink milk in the middle of the night, once every few hours, and once every few hours.

   After a toss, everyone didn't sleep well, and as soon as they lay down, they could hear the cry of the child.

   Early the next morning, everyone was sleepy except for the culprit.

   "Mom, were we like this when we were kids?"

   Ye Jinzhi has never experienced it before. She is very lucky that her three children are so old that she doesn't have to suffer so much.

   "Yes, you were worse than this when you were young."

   Although Ye Jinzhi has never experienced it, she has memories of her original body and knows that this child is a good boy, much better than the three brothers.

   "Come here." Ye Jinzhi decided to have a good talk with them.

   She felt that yesterday's decision was too hasty. She should let the three children know clearly that one more child in the family and one more Heishan are completely different concepts.

   "Do you not want your brother anymore?"

   The three children did not speak.

   "But yesterday my mother asked you for your opinion, and you agreed, right?"

   The three children nodded.

   "Then why did you say that last night?"

   The three children were silent.

   "Mom told you that having a younger brother in the family is different from having an additional black mulberry."

   "With one more brother, it means that he is also the child of his parents, and his parents treat him the same as they treat you. He also has what you have."

   "What he has experienced now, you all have experienced it before him, and you are even happier than him."

   "If you think your parents are doing something wrong, you can bring it up. Can your parents correct it?"

   The three children nodded.

   "But, you can't say what you said yesterday. My brother is ignorant now and can't understand. If my brother grows up and he knows that his brother treats him like this, he will be very sad, okay?"

   "I'm sorry mom." The three children bowed their heads.

   Ye Jinzhi squatted down and hugged them. It was her lack of thought that caused this to happen.
