Chapter 221 We also want to help
The next morning, Shen Zhensheng opened his eyes and saw that his wife was not in bed. He quickly put on his slippers and went to the bathroom to look for his wife, but she was not in the bathroom either.
He hurried to his son's room, but he was not there either. He was so anxious that he didn't even close the door of his son's room and rushed to the first floor to look for his wife.
Seeing Xiao Bao'er busy in the restaurant on the first floor, I felt relieved. "Wife, why do you have to get up so early to cook?"
Xiao Baoer had already cooked the porridge and was now preparing other dishes. "I woke up and saw that you were still sleeping. I wanted to let you sleep a little longer, so I washed up and came down to prepare breakfast."
"Just tell me what you want to eat, and I can come down and make it for you. Don't make me anxious in the future. You don't know how worried I was when I saw you were not around just now," Shen Zhensheng looked anxious.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll tell you later. Go upstairs and wash up. After you're done, come down and help me cook," Xiao Baoer comforted him and told him not to worry, and urged him to go upstairs and wash up.
He felt more relieved and went upstairs to wash up. After he was done, he hurried downstairs.
"Wife, what kind of porridge are you cooking?" Shen Zhensheng walked up to Xiao Baoer and prepared to help.
"I cooked pumpkin oatmeal porridge, which my three sons love. I also steamed red bean paste buns, custard buns, crab roe buns, meat buns, tofu buns, and siu mai. I just fried dumplings, beef patties, and poached eggs. My son said he wanted to eat corn sausages yesterday, so I fried a few sausages. Do you want anything else?"
Shen Zhensheng looked at the breakfast prepared by his wife, which was already very rich. "It's already very rich. You haven't eaten the bird's nest today, right?"
"Eat it before going to bed at night. Let's eat these this morning. My son won't wake up until later. Let's go pick some fruits. I'll make some dried fruits for my son as snacks today. I'm afraid the dried fruits stored in the space may contain additives, so I feel more at ease making them myself."
Shen Zhensheng held her hand and pushed a cart to the orchard to pick fruits. They picked mangoes, bayberries, jackfruits, kumquats, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, apricots, cranberries, pineapples, etc.
"Wife, should we make dried fruits in the space or in the yard?"
Xiao Baoer thought about it and decided that it was more convenient in the space, where the props were more complete.
"Let's go inside the space. We picked a lot of fruits, so we can make some dried fruits for our son as snacks, and we can also make tea with them. Sanbao likes to spread sauce on his bread, so let's make some so he can eat it without worry."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it."
The two of them pushed the fruits into the house, washed some strawberries and blueberries, and cut kiwis and dragon fruits to eat after breakfast.
"Mom, Sanbao is awake. He doesn't want me and Erbao to dress him. He wants to find Daddy," Dabao ran downstairs to find Daddy to help Sanbao dress himself.
"Go ahead, dress Sanbao and take him to wash up. Sanbao likes to wear blue clothes these days. Don't take the wrong ones, or he'll get mad."
Shen Zhensheng went upstairs to dress Sanbao. When he entered the room, Erbao was coaxing him to put on his clothes. Sanbao leaned his little butt against the pillow and muttered, "No, no, I want Daddy, not Dede."
Shen Zhensheng patted his little butt and took him out of the quilt. "You are naughty again, aren't you? Are you in a bad mood again?"
Sanbao hugged Shen Zhensheng's neck and acted coquettishly. His little appearance really looked a bit like Xiao Baoer. Erbao looked like his mother, and Sanbao had the same temperament as her.
"Dad, put on your clothes, don't let Dede wear them," Sanbao couldn't call his brother clearly, and always called him Dede.
Shen Zhensheng got him his blue clothes and put them on, then took the three of them to wash up. Sanbao especially liked his father helping him brush his teeth and wash his face.
Every time Xiao Baoer sees a scene of loving father and filial son, she would sigh and say, "My dear son, do you still remember that you didn't let your father hug you when he just came back?"
Shen Zhensheng led his three sons downstairs. Xiao Baoer had already placed breakfast on the table. The three sons also used their own plates, bowls, chopsticks and spoons.
"Mom, I missed you so much after not seeing you for a night," Erbao began his daily confession to his mother again.
"I miss my mother too," Dabao also said.
Sanbao walked up to his mother with his short legs and gave her a kiss on the face, "Sanbao loves mom, mom is beautiful."
Xiao Baoer enjoys the happiness brought by her three sons every day, just like she is soaking in a honey pot.
"Mom will make some dried fruits for you to eat and then soak in water to drink, okay?" Xiao Baoer asked the three children while eating.
"Okay, we want to help too. Mom will teach us," said Dabao.
Xiao Baoer thinks it’s good to let her son participate in family activities so that he can exercise his hands-on ability.
"Okay, then after dinner you can help mom and dad wash the fruits and be their little helpers. So eat more now so that you can have the strength to help mom and dad with the work."
The three children ate more happily, and especially liked the crab roe buns and corn sausages. The buns were very small. The eldest and second child also ate a custard bun and drank a small bowl of red bean and black rice milk porridge.
After eating, the three children urged their parents to take them to make dried fruits, and they couldn’t wait to help.
Shen Zhensheng took Erbao and Dabao to wash fruits such as grapes, kumquats, and blueberries, while Xiao Baoer and Sanbao peeled dragon fruit, kiwi fruit, etc.
After everything was prepared, Xiao Baoer decided to make blueberry jam, strawberry jam, and peach jam first. Sanbao wanted orange flavor, so he made another orange jam.
Xiao Baoer was making jam, and Shen Zhensheng was making candied fruits according to the steps Xiao Baoer told him, which required steaming them first and then baking them in the oven.
There are two ovens in the kitchen of the Space Villa, one big and one small, so they can cook at the same time, which makes cooking relatively fast.
Different fruits require different baking times. The two ovens can be used to place fruit slices according to the different baking times required for the fruits.
Shen Zhensheng put the fruits to be baked into the oven, thinking that they would take a long time to bake before turning them over, so he went out to sweep the snow.
"Wife, I'm going to go out and clean up the snow in the yard. I'll come back in after I'm done."
Xiao Baoer nodded. The three children watched their mother making jam curiously. Xiao Baoer also chatted with them and seemed to be enjoying it.
"Mom, can I eat this with bread?"
"Sure. I'll give you some bread to try tomorrow morning. Daddy has made some preserved fruits and roasted dried fruits for you. You can eat more then. Daddy makes it with more confidence."
The three children accompanied Xiao Baoer as they talked and ate fruit. Their little mouths were very busy, eating one thing after another.
Xiao Baoer was extremely grateful that she had traveled through time not too late, and came to be with the children when they were still young, so that they would not have to spend their entire lives suffering from the tragic memories of their childhood.
The eldest and second child may remember a little bit, but the third child remembers nothing at all.
These days, the two older children are becoming happier and more cheerful. Xiao Baoer hopes that they can be like Sanbao and when they grow up and look back on their childhood, their first reaction will be joy, happiness and satisfaction.
Xiao Baoer hopes that the companionship she and Shen Zhensheng provide to their children can make up for the harm they have suffered in previous years.
