Chapter 353: Reading Ten Thousand Books Is Not as Good as Traveling Ten Thousand Miles
"Son, you are going to be primary school students this year. Mom will reward you with a trip to Beijing for the New Year, okay?"
The three children didn’t know where Jing City was. Although they had eaten a lot of Jing City specialties brought back by their father, they had no idea what Jing City looked like.
"Okay, we want to go. Dad, is Beijing really big?" Erbao asked his father curiously while eating fruit.
"Yes, it's very big. Mom and Dad will take you there during the Chinese New Year and let you take a lot of photos in Beijing," said Shen Zhensheng.
The two had discussed this matter before, and Shen Zhensheng also felt it necessary to take his son out of the house more often.
"Wife, we must take the children out to play this year. I will inform the captain in advance and ask him to issue the certificate as long as possible."
"Well, I also want to go out and see the current development of Beijing City, as well as the land and house we bought in Beijing City."
During the Chinese New Year, the two younger ones were already one and a half years old, and the three sons were very sensible. It would be good for them to experience the customs of different places. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
"Okay, then our whole family will go. We will celebrate the New Year in Beijing this year. Wife, I plan to find someone to renovate our house in Beijing in the next six months, so we can move in directly when the time comes."
Xiao Baoer also planned so. It would be more convenient to live here at home, and the children could play in the yard.
"Okay, remember to decorate it better so that you can live comfortably."
"I know. I will choose a house in a busy area and renovate it so that it will be convenient for me to take the children out to play."
The two of them went to make dinner early, and after eating they took the children out for a walk.
"Wife, do you want to eat glutinous rice cake tonight?" Shen Zhensheng asked her when he saw Xiao Baoer took out the glutinous rice cake.
"Yes, I'll make some brown sugar glutinous rice cake tonight. I made it for my sons a few days ago and they loved it."
"Okay, then I'll wash and cut these vegetables. I've already cooked the beef bone soup."
The two of them worked together to cook, several children were playing in the fence, and the three sons were teaching their younger brothers and sisters to call aunt and uncle, over and over again.
"Wife, Tuantuan and Manman are almost one year old. Time flies," Shen Zhensheng said. It has been almost two years since he returned from military service. The ease and comfort at home makes him feel unreal.
"Yes, I also feel that time flies. The twins are going to elementary school. Once they go to elementary school, time will pass even faster," Xiao Baoer looked up at the children who were playing on the other side.
Shen Zhensheng still remembers how he felt when he returned from the army and sat on the train. He thought his family would be in chaos after he came back, and he might have to live with his three sons for the rest of his life, but fate gave him a big surprise.
Not only did his wife come to live with him and love him, but they also had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. The children are growing up well. They are not only cute and well-behaved, but also very sensible.
"Hurry up and cook. We'll go out and play after dinner," Xiao Baoer reminded Shen Zhensheng when she saw him in a daze.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng are both emotionally stable people. No matter what they do, they always discuss it together. They never sulk and waste their time, nor do they let the other person spend the night angry.
Besides, the two of them have never been angry with each other. They are as sticky as a young couple in love all day long and never make each other angry.
After the two of them finished cooking, they served the rice for Tuantuan and Manmang and set it aside to dry. Then they carried Tuantuan and Manman to the children's high chairs to eat. The three children also ran to the chairs and waited for their parents to eat together.
"You two eat the osmanthus yam puree and apple muffins first. Mom will give you some when the beef bone soup cools down," Xiao Baoer put the food in front of the two little dumplings and asked them to eat the food that was not hot first.
"Mom, eat," Manman took the muffin and put it to Xiao Baoer's mouth.
"Okay, my daughter is so good," Xiao Baoer took a small bite and let Manman eat it, "Manman, eat it, compete with your brother in eating."
"Wife, both children are eating much better now."
"Yes, they love to eat. They are little food tyrants just like their three brothers," Xiao Baoer likes the way the children eat. Everything they eat sounds delicious.
After dinner, the children were eager to take Weiwu out to play. After taking them to the yard, the children first fed Weiwu food and then gave it some water to drink.
"Dad, Mom made a lot of new clothes for Weiwu. I changed this one for him today," Dabao squatted in front of Weiwu, fed him meat, and tidied up his clothes.
"Your mother has the most skillful hands," Shen Zhensheng said as he held Manman's hand and tried to stand. It was only this morning that he discovered that Manman could stand on her own for a while.
"Tuantuan and Manman can both stand on their own for a while, and sometimes they can even take a few steps. They walk very well in the walker," Xiao Baoer said as she held Tuantuan's hand, and Tuantuan even tried to take a few steps.
"The child changes every day. Maybe he will be able to walk when I come back next time. Wife, please ask Dabao and the others to help watch over you. Don't let the two little ones fall."
"I know. Dabao and his friends take good care of their younger siblings when they walk. They watch over them more closely than I do."
The two of them took the child and Weiwu out, and Shen Zhenjiang also accompanied Jiang Yuqing for a walk. The doctor told Yuqing to walk more, otherwise it would be difficult to give birth.
That day, Shen's mother secretly told Xiao Baoer that she asked Wang Po to check on Yuqing, and it was most likely that Yuqing was pregnant with a boy. This made Shen's mother a little depressed. There were enough grandchildren in the family, and if Yuqing gave birth to a girl, she would be as beautiful as Manman.
Shen Zhenjiang and Jiang Yuqing didn't think so. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they were both their babies. They would love the baby well and let the baby grow up healthily.
"You are out too. It would be good for the children if you walk more," Xiao Baoer said to Jiang Yuqing and the others with a smile.
"I'm taking a walk every day now, Sister Baoer, when he's not at home I'll come find you and go for a walk with you."
"That's great. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Don't forget to prepare the delivery bag in advance and get everything you and your baby need ready," Xiao Baoer instructed Jiang Yuqing as they walked together.
"My mother and I have been preparing for this for a while. If I don't understand something in a few days, I will ask you."
Both couples are good-looking, and they have several lively and cute children and a mighty dog. They attract attention wherever they go.
"Jiang Zhiqing must be pregnant for several months now. You can tell from her belly that she's carrying a baby."
Jiang Yuqing has also integrated into the village, so she would chat with the villagers, "It's more than eight months old, auntie. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. After all, it's our first child. Zhenjiang and I like both boys and girls."
"Who says it's not? It would be nice if she was a pretty girl like Manman. How cute."
"The third brother's children are all good-looking, and the fifth brother's children are not much worse either. The couple are just like the third brother and his wife, both are good-looking."
Jiang Yuqing and Xiao Baoer are both beautiful, but their beauty is different. Xiao Baoer's beauty is bright and flamboyant, while Jiang Yuqing's is pure and lovely.
