Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Xiao Hu is back Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Xiao Hu is back Xiaoxiao still wanted to say something when she heard Da Bao and Xiao Bao’s panting voices approaching, “Mom, Mom, I heard Dad’s back, is Dad back?”
Da Bao pushed open the gate and as he entered the yard, he spoke, and when he saw Zhao Tianlei in the main house, he ran towards him.
“Dad, Dad, you’re back.”
Xiao Bao was two steps slower than Da Bao.
Seeing the two children, Zhao Tianlei’s eyes softened even more, “Da Bao, Xiao Bao.”
He lifted each child with one arm, seated them on his thighs, very affectionately.
“Dad, I missed you so much.”
“Dad, I missed you too.”
After the two children spoke, they both suddenly started crying out loud, which made Zhao Tianlei flustered for a moment, “You are both young men now, why are you still crying? Mom is watching.”
Instantly, the two children stopped crying and wiped their tears with somewhat dirty little hands, suddenly resembling little tear-stained cats.
“I’m a young man, I didn’t cry.”
“I didn’t cry either.”
Xiaoxiao, seeing the pair of adorable eyes staring at her, could only go along with their words, “Right, didn’t cry, didn’t cry.”
Sanya and Xiao Mao finally entered the yard and also saw Zhao Tianlei coming back.
Zhao Tianlei looked at the two little ones from his elder brother’s family, “Sanya, Xiao Mao….”
He noticed that Da Bao and Xiao Bao seemed to be wearing clothes without any patches, and they seemed to have gotten chubbier, their skin fairer, no wonder he felt they were heavier when he lifted them.
Drinking milk powder, eggs, meat, shrimp paste, noodles, and fruits every day, they obviously grew.
Zhao Tianlei, the male lead, prioritized the female supporting character in his house, making sure she got to eat the tastiest foods first, while he and the children were always considered afterward.
Zhao Tianlei also knew that his wife’s sewing was not very good.
“Da Bao, go get the bowls, I’ll mix some milk powder for you to drink.”
Where did the milk powder come from?
“Okay.” Da Bao quickly slid off Zhao Tianlei’s lap and headed for the kitchen.
Xiaoxiao took out a large enamel mug, poured some water, added milk powder, stirred it, and immediately a milky fragrance spread throughout the main house.
Zhao Tianlei stared in disbelief. Where did the milk powder come from?
It’s basically not available for purchase in the town.
The Cooperative in the county town seldom has it, this item is scarce.
Did his in-laws mail it over?
But he didn’t believe it.
“Traded for it, I’ll explain later.”
She poured a little less than half a bowl for each of the few children, and there was still some left in the enamel mug, which she placed in front of Zhao Tianlei.
“Here, drink this, you need to nourish yourself.”
His wife gave it to him.
And said he needed to nourish himself.
Zhao Tianlei thought back to before he left home, when he had argued with his wife about returning to the city.
How come it’s so good now?
The few children efficiently sat on the stools, not tall enough so they climbed onto the bench and knelt to blow on the mixed milk powder in the bowls.
Watching their skilled movements, it seemed they hadn’t drunk it infrequently.
She gave it to their two sons, and also to the two little ones from his elder brother’s family.
This thing, even if one is willing to buy it, they would be hesitant to share it with other children.
“Little Uncle, Little Aunt made us fried sweet potato pancakes and sweet potato steamed cakes yesterday, they were so tasty.”
“The milk powder tastes good.” Xiao Mao liked the milk powder more, it was fragrant.
After the two children finished drinking, they even said goodbye before reluctantly leaving.
