Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Little Fourth Has Gotten Braver. _1
During the meal, it practically turned into a full-on fish feast.
Bai Susu looked at the table, almost entirely covered with fish dishes, her eyes curved like crescent moons in amusement.
Ye Fan watched Bai Susu’s happy expression and couldn’t help but shake his
head in resignation.
First, he served Bai Susu a bowl of crucian carp soup and placed it in front of
her.
Without a word, Bai Susu took a sip. Mmm, how delicious!
This crucian carp soup was indeed good!
“Go ahead, look, braised carp, pickled cabbage fish, all these are fish dishes.
How can you like fish so much?” Ye Fan curiously asked.
Right!
You hear about people who like to eat fish, but I’ve never seen anyone like this.
There are only four or five dishes in total, and three of them are fish dishes.
“When I was a kid, my grandfather also loved to fish. Every time he would prepare the fish he caught for me to eat. As I got a little older, I would often accompany my grandfather to fish.”
“Back then, I really wanted to learn to fish, but my grandfather said that once you learn fishing, you’d get hooked and your hands would itch if you didn’t fish. Moreover, he said it’s easy for girls to get sunburnt or tanned, so he didn’t let me learn. However, every time I would eat the fish that my grandfather brought back. It was so delicious,” Bai Susu reminisced, her little face full of memories.
Ye Fan watched Bai Susu as she got lost in her memories, feeling a touch of
heartache.
This girl had deep feelings for her grandfather.
You could always hear her talk about her grandfather, but she seldom mentioned her parents. Even when she did, it was almost in passing.
It must have been only her grandfather who was kind to her and made her childhood happy.
“See, I still learned how to do it, even though you taught me. Someday, I m going to go fishing with my grandfather and, of course, bring you along,” Bai Susu said with a smile.
Just thinking about it made her utterly happy.
“Alright, as soon as you start talking about your grandfather, you open up like a chatterbox, non-stop,” Ye Fan commented.
Isn’t that the truth?
Every time she mentioned her grandfather, Bai Susu was overjoyed as if there
were endless things to say.
That old man, he really was good to Bai Susu.
And that’s why she was like this.
“Of course, my grandfather is awesome. He once caught a fish over a hundred pounds. That day, our family had a real full-course fish banquet. We had steamed fish, boiled fish, every single dish with no repeats, nearly seventy to eighty different cooking methods,” Bai Susu shared.
“Old man, really impressive!” Ye Fan exclaimed.
‘Of course,’ Bai Susu said proudly.
Her grandfather was the best, after all.
“Okay, let’s eat. If we keep talking like this, the food will get cold,” Ye Fan said.
“Mhm,” Bai Susu nodded in agreement.
As the two of them ate, a robot fed the babies their formula.
After finishing the meal, Ye Fan and Bai Susu watched television together.
Around seven or eight o’clock, they took the four babies for a bath.
Two nannies also came along, four people in total were just right to take care of the four babies.
There was a bathroom for babies on the second floor, specifically for the little ones to bathe in.
Ye Fan had already taken out the bathing supplies that the System had rewarded for the babies, such as bath gel and bath toys, including a complete set of little yellow ducks and baby swimming rings.
Everything was prepared for the babies.
Each baby wore a swimming ring, and the entire set of little yellow duck toys was placed into the bathtub.
The babies were delighted in the water, having been bathed before, they were quite used to it. As soon as they were put into the water, they all became eager. In the water, they paddled their little feet, trying to grab the floating little yellow ducks with their hands.
All four little ones were playing with their rubber duckies, and with the presence of life rings, Bai Susu and Ye Fan felt much more at ease.
Still, they remained vigilant about the babies safety.
“Giggle giggle giggle—”
“Giggle-”
All the babies in the water laughed joyfully, and Little Fourth even blew bubbles with his mouth in the water, their little cheeks looking tender and pink.
But it was because of the heat from the steamy water.
The little bald heads were beaded with sweat.
Bai Susu watched Little Fourth, who was having so much fun, and felt helpless.
This was, after all, drinking his own bathwater.
Although most of us have played with bathwater and even drunk some when we were young, it still felt a bit…
Gently, Bai Susu pulled Little Fourth over, stopping him from continuing to blow bubbles.
The latter, unable to blow bubbles happily, looked at Bai Susu with a wronged expression, and his watery eyes seemed on the verge of shedding tears.
Bai Susu felt her heart melting away.
This little one was extremely aggrieved.
‘You can’t drink bathwater, it’s dirty, you know? Drinking it is unsanitary, and blowing bubbles isn’t good either,’ Bai Susu coaxed Little Fourth, not caring whether he could understand or not.
In any case, Little Fourth stopped fussing and started playing with the water. As the four little ones played in the water, the four adults gently bathed them. It was rather fun.
Soon enough, after bathing one, Ye Fan quickly picked up the eldest, Ye Bing, and Bai Susu immediately wrapped the little one in a towel and carried her to the bedroom.
Bai Susu laid the eldest on the bed, covered her up, and then went to pick up the next one.
After four trips back and forth, they finally got all the little ones out and dressed them in their little clothes.
Since it was time to sleep, naturally, they didn’t need to wear too much, so each was given just a little bellyband to cover their tummies.
Feeling refreshed after their baths, the four little ones crawled around playfully on the bed.
Dressed in bright red bellybands, they looked as cute as four little doll-like babies.
Ye Fan teased and played with the little ones, who all laughed merrily, dribbling saliva that was impossible to wipe away fast enough.
On the gumline, a tiny speck of white could be seen, as if a little tooth was starting to emerge.
He hadn’t expected the babies’ development to be so impressive.
It was all thanks to the formula milk that the System had rewarded them with before.
It allowed the babies to absorb the nutrients they needed and fostered their growth.
“Susu, look, it seems the babies are getting all their teeth. Look at Little Fourth, her gums are showing a tiny bit of white,” Ye Fan said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu immediately came over and sure enough, there it was on Little Fourth’s gums.
It was unexpected; the babies were really starting to teethe.
That was just wonderful.
It’s no wonder that she had felt a bit of pain when feeding Little Fourth recently; so that was the reason.
The babies were not even two months old and were already getting some teeth, which meant they were very healthy, and that was a good thing.
“They are really getting teeth. I was curious why Little Fourth’s bites hurt a bit, but I never imagined it was for this reason, it looks like I was careless,” Bai Susu said.
“What, Little Fourth dared to bite you, did it hurt a lot?” Ye Fan asked Bai Susu with concern.
Little Fourth was getting braver.
Daring to bite her own mother.
