"Daddy, grapes, grapes, so delicious."
Chen Yang was woken by the baby feeding him grapes. Good heavens, hearing his daughter's voice, the old man's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly lifted the edge of the blanket. Fortunately, after being exhausted last night, at Shen Xue's strong insistence, they both put on their clothes.
Without clothes, the battle would never end!
It was a good thing they were wearing clothes, otherwise, today would have been a disaster.
He had slept all the way until noon.
Looking at the grapes in the baby's small hand, the old man smiled. He didn't know if it was because the little one's hand was too small or the grapes were too big, but she could just barely hold one grape in her tiny hand.
These were the large Turpan grapes that Liao Youren had given him as an apology. He had tasted one at the time, and it was truly sweet.
Those who say grapes are sour probably haven't tasted Turpan grapes.
Chen Yang used to think grapes were sweet and sour, but after tasting these, in his opinion, all grapes were sweet from now on.
Yesterday, he had asked Shen Xue to look through her bag. Perhaps after bathing, his wife had taken out the grapes from the bag. It was a pity it was too late, and she didn't have time to let the child eat them before Chen Yang did.
Today, his mother-in-law must have seen Shen Xue take out the grapes, washed them, and given them to the two little ones.
"Yanyan eat, Daddy hasn't brushed his teeth yet, stinky."
Chen Yang pinched his daughter's chubby little face. If he hadn't just woken up and not brushed his teeth, he would have definitely hugged his daughter and kissed her.
Influenced by Shen Xue, the whole family valued cleanliness. They couldn't eat anything in the morning before brushing their teeth, and Chen Yang was no exception.
"Daddy, I saved the biggest grape for you! Hurry up and brush your teeth so you can eat it. It's so delicious."
The baby secretly whispered in Chen Yang's ear. Seeing her secretive demeanor, Chen Yang secretly chuckled. Your mother is awake, she's just pretending to sleep.
However, he was warmed by his little padded jacket's thoughtfulness.
After the baby finished speaking, she ran out. Chen Yang pinched the nose of the woman pretending to sleep.
"Okay, get up."
"Hmph, you get up and get the biggest grape the daughter saved. I don't have any. I haven't slept enough."
Shen Xue's words were so sour, they almost made Chen Yang choke.
He wrapped his arms around her and held her in his embrace. Feeling her increasingly plump body, the old man's heart was once again filled with warmth.
Women, after all, are not better the thinner they are. A little bit of flesh makes them more alluring.
"Alright, alright, my darling, we can each take half of the biggest grape later, okay?"
Feeling Chen Yang's hands becoming more restless, Shen Xue blushed and quickly got out of bed.
The sun was already high in the sky, and the children could come in at any moment. They couldn't let him be so reckless.
Watching Shen Xue flee in disarray, the old man stroked his chin. He wasn't a big bad wolf, was he that scary?
Chen Yang quickly put on his clothes, shook the blanket on the bed a couple of times, folded it neatly, and got up to brush his teeth.
To be honest, if it weren't for fear of his wife nagging, wouldn't every man just throw off the covers and get up? Folding the quilt, what a joke.
The old man had never folded his quilt in his previous life. Of course, his housekeeper did it.
This life was different. He couldn't possibly let Shen Xue fold the quilt after she finished washing up. It was a simple task.
Chen Yang held a gourd, split open like a dipper, to brush his teeth. Toothbrushes were not common in rural areas at this time, although many people in cities already used them.
Many elderly people in rural areas did not brush their teeth. At most, they would wipe their gums with a towel when washing their face. As for toothpaste, there was even less to mention. No one was willing to use it. However, some people would use tooth powder to brush their teeth.
Tooth powder was simpler and cheaper, and affordable in the countryside. For those who were truly reluctant to buy it, they could burn rice husks into lime and mix it with salt to make homemade tooth powder.
At this moment, Chen Yang had specifically bought six toothbrushes and toothpaste from the city. Even the two little ones had their own small toothbrushes.
Feeling the refreshing lather from the toothpaste in his mouth, the old man finally felt comfortable. Not being able to brush his teeth at home these days had made him, who was accustomed to modern oral hygiene methods, very uncomfortable.
It was even more so for Shen Xue. She was already a clean person. Before she had a toothbrush, she would often break off willow branches, soften them, dip them in tooth powder, and brush her teeth. Now that she had a toothbrush and toothpaste, they had become her favorites.
As the couple was brushing their teeth, they watched the two little ones playing. For some reason, the baby's short legs tripped, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Yanyan, are you hurt?"
Chen Yang spat out the water in his mouth and, forgetting to brush his teeth, rushed over.
As a result, after tripping, the baby stopped moving and just sat on the ground. It was better when he wasn't there. The moment he came over.
The "little golden beans" in the little one's eyes poured out.
Her chubby little face trembled as she cried.
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry."
Chen Yang quickly picked up the baby, patted the dust off her little bottom, and quickly checked if she had hit anywhere.
"Daddy's holding you. Did you hit anywhere? Does it hurt?"
Seeing his daughter cry so sadly, Chen Yang was frightened.
However, after looking her up and down, he didn't see any place where the little one was hurt.
"Daddy, it doesn't hurt. My little feet are bad, they tripped me."
The baby pointed at her short legs and complained.
Chen Yang was almost amused by her. This little brat, she blamed her own feet for tripping her when she fell.
"Then should Daddy beat them up for you?"
Chen Yang waved his fist, the size of a sandbag. The baby pursed her lips and said nothing.
She wasn't stupid. She just wanted an opportunity to act spoiled with her Daddy. She didn't want to be beaten.
Don't say that children of two or three years old are ignorant. They are very good at seizing opportunities.
When the adults were not around, they would trip themselves while playing and probably get up without a sound. But if they saw an adult nearby.
If they fell, they would definitely cry out loudly.
The child fell, so why couldn't she act spoiled and ask for a hug?
This was probably her psychology. The old man didn't know that his daughter was pretending to be pitiful to him.
"Okay, okay, Mommy will rub your little bottom. Let Daddy go wash his face quickly."
"You have to get up where you fell, understand? Don't just sit down after falling. The ground is dirty, do you understand?"
The mother who educates the child was online. Chen Yang dared not interfere with his wife's teaching, otherwise, he would be taught along with her later. He quickly put down his daughter and went to wash up.
He doted on his child, but the principles she should learn still needed to be learned.
The baby pouted her little mouth, wanting to cry, but not daring to. She felt wronged.
"Here, have some grapes."
"Mommy isn't scolding you. It's just that we hope Yanyan can be obedient. Daddy and Mommy love obedient children the most, do you understand?"
Wiping the tears from the little one's face, Shen Xue patiently coaxed her again. It had to be said that when a woman becomes a mother, she truly develops patience.
If you get angry and scold the child, she will likely cry. You can only patiently and gently teach her.
