It was just dawn, and Chu Nanzhi woke up first as usual.
The only difference between today and usual is that there are a few more little guys around.
She was used to sleeping alone, but she was really not used to having such a group of babies with her all of a sudden.
I lowered my head and looked at the three little guys sleeping soundly on top of each other. I was really puzzled, and I didn't know how they survived being in the back room with the hemiplegic guy.
Carefully picking up the second, third, and fourth treasures one by one, they placed them steadily on the bed. Looking at the quiet faces of each of them who were still sleeping, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. She had never felt so satisfied.
Perhaps, this is the happiness of being a mother.
With this thought in mind, she quietly walked from the bed to the outside.
But as soon as he took a small step, he realized that something was holding him behind him.
Chu Nanzhi turned around and saw Sibaolin Ruijia holding the hem of her clothes, turning her small pupils and staring at her quietly, her clear eyes exuding an aura of agility that is rare for ordinary people.
She asked softly: "Why are you awake again? It's still early. You can sleep a little longer."
Xiao Sibao bit her delicate lips and shook her head slightly, stood up and pulled her outside.
Chu Nanzhi filled a basin with water, took Little Si Bao to the courtyard to wash her face, and began to teach her to brush her teeth with a ponytail toothbrush, and then combed her hair.
Looking at Xiao Sibao's sparse and yellowing hair, Chu Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable.
This is caused by malnutrition.
Just now when she was watching several little ones sleeping, she noticed that the little four treasures were buried at the bottom by the third and second treasures. Every time she got up, this little girl was the first to get up.
If you don't eat well and sleep well, how can you grow well?
She patiently arranged Xiao Sibao's hair and said in the gentlest tone:
"Si Bao, you know, children must ensure sufficient sleep time in order to grow taller. In the future, you can wait until you wake up like your brothers and sisters before getting up."
Little Si Bao turned his head and replied with a smile: "Auntie, Si Bao actually slept very soundly last night. Si Bao has never slept so well before."
After thinking about it, she smiled warmly: "I don't have to be afraid of touching my father's wounds, so I fell asleep as soon as I got to bed."
"Um."
This is also true.
She helped Si Bao tie up her hair and asked softly: "What do you want to eat today? Can we go buy it together?"
Si Bao pursed his lips and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled happily: "Si Bao likes to eat anything made by my mother."
Chu Nanzhi felt happy when she heard:
"Then let's go to the market at the entrance of the village to buy some eggs and make egg noodles for everyone to eat."
"good."
Si Bao quickly ran to the house, took the puppet he bought a few days ago, held it in his hand, and happily prepared to go out with her.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard, with the second and third treasures behind them chasing after them. As they ran, they shouted: "Auntie, we are going too."
Seeing that the two little devils were in a hurry, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but spoil their interest, so she had to go back into the house to wash the two little guys' faces, rinse their mouths, and change their clothes. Erbao was holding another puppet, and Sanbao was shaking the rattle.
The four of us went to the entrance of the village to buy eggs.
At this time, most people in the village had not gotten up yet, and a few scattered pedestrians were walking on the road. Although they recognized the family, they deliberately avoided going there and did not want to say hello to Chu Nanzhi.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the cold faces and refused to ask for trouble. She pretended to be as careless as the original owner and went her own way.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we happened to see Blacksmith Zhao and his boy coming to the stall to buy eggs.
When Kojiro saw the toys in the hands of the three little guys, he wanted to grab them.
Seeing Xiao Erlang, Si Bao subconsciously began to cry loudly.
Hearing the cry, Blacksmith Zhao kicked Xiao Erlang in the head and cursed: "You little bastard, what do you want to do?"
"Dad, this time I really just want to see the toys in their hands, I don't want them."
"Look, look, you want to see everything, even the stones in other people's cesspits."
Blacksmith Zhao hurried over to apologize, bought a basket of eggs and forced them into Chu Nanzhi's hands, and said in a panic:
"Ms. Chu, Zhao didn't have time to apologize to you for what happened with the Four Treasures last time. You can take this basket of eggs, but don't go to Li Zheng's house to complain. Zhao will definitely not let Xiaoerlang bully your children in the future.
Already."
Chu Nanzhi pushed the egg back into his hand and was about to speak. Blacksmith Zhao was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground and begged pitifully:
"Ms. Chu, please accept it. Really, if any of you go to Li Zheng's house to complain, our whole family will really not be able to stay in this village any longer."
"I won't complain, so Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry."
Chu Nanzhi quickly helped him up and put the egg back into his hand.
Then, she bent down and smiled with Xiao Si Bao: "Si Bao, look, Xiao Erlang didn't want to snatch your toy, he just wanted to have a look. Can we show it to him?"
Xiao Sibao stopped crying, but was a little embarrassed and looked at Xiaoerlang with trembling eyes.
Sanbaolin Ruichong immediately handed the rattle in his hand to Xiaoerlang and said boldly: "Here it is, but you are not allowed to bully my sister again."
Xiaoerlang hesitated and wanted to come over to pick up Sanbao's toy, but Blacksmith Zhao glared at him and retracted his hand in fright.
Upon seeing this, Erbao Lin Ruixi also handed the puppet in his hand to Xiaoerlang, and said sternly to Blacksmith Zhao in a waxy voice: "You are not allowed to hit Xiaoerlang again."
Being scolded by a child, Blacksmith Zhao immediately flew into a rage. He didn't bother to worry about anything anymore, so he shouted casually:
"You little brat have been beaten to death by your mother all day long, and now you still have time to take care of my family's affairs."
"Our mother-in-law stopped beating us a long time ago."
Sanbao said with a proud smile: "Our mother-in-law is very kind to us now."
"do not fight?"
Blacksmith Zhao looked at Chu Nanzhi in disbelief.
"It's true that we won't fight anymore."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gently at him: "I used to be just as stupid as Zhao Langjun, but after going through some things, I now feel that beating children cannot solve the problem. It is only right to guide them to correct themselves."
As he spoke, he handed the toys in the hands of Erbao and Sanbao to Xiaoerlang's hands and whispered:
"Xiao Erlang, I'll give you our little treasure's toys to play with, but you have to promise me to get along well with my little treasures in the future and not bully them anymore."
With gentle eyebrows and sweet voice, he is the best at attracting people to do good.
Sure enough, Xiao Erlang nodded happily and looked at Blacksmith Zhao uneasily. Only after getting permission from his father did he dare to take the toy.
At this time, Xiao Sibao suddenly became not afraid of Xiao Erlang. He boldly walked to him and called out kindly: "Brother Zhao, I'll give you mine too."
Xiaoerlang took a few toys and played with them carefully for a while, and finally returned them to the little guys' hands obediently. He looked at Chu Nanzhi with a look of joy and promised firmly:
"Aunt Nan Zhi, don't worry, I will never bully your quadruplets anymore. If anyone dares to touch a hair of theirs in this village from now on, I will cut them off."
"You little bastard."
Hearing this, Tiejiang Zhao's already calm face became troubled again, and he stretched out his hand to hit Xiaoerlang again.
But before he reached out to Xiaoerlang, Chu Nanzhi stopped him:
"We agreed not to spank the child, but the more you spank him, the more rebellious he will become."
After saying that, he went to persuade Xiaoerlang with a smile: "Look, if you bully other people's children, someone will complain to your father, and your father will be unhappy because of it. If your father is unhappy, he will beat you.
Your father actually works hard every day, you shouldn’t let him worry about you like this anymore.”
The voice was a little more serious to achieve the effect of giving both grace and power.
Xiao Erlang has never seen Aunt Nan Zhi as gentle as she is today.
Moreover, the adults in other families watched from the sidelines when they saw his father teaching him, and some even felt very relieved.
Not only did Aunt Nan Zhi not blame him, but she also allowed him to play with the quadruplets' toys, stopped his father's spanking for him, and helped persuade his father. He suddenly felt very touched.
Touching the back of his head coquettishly, Xiao Erlang replied obediently: "Okay, listen to Aunt Nan Zhi, I promise not to bully the children in the village in the future."
