Chapter 573 1 Like First Love
"Boss, hurry up. Xiaohao and his sister-in-law will be back today. You look after Xiaodong, Xiaobei, and Xiaoxi. I'm going to the market to buy some meat and a chicken."
Early in the morning, today is Sunday, he originally wanted to sleep in, but he was woken up by his wife Shen Yulin unexpectedly. Listening to his wife's nagging, he could only nod while eating breakfast and said, "Okay, I get it, you go! I'll take care of the children!"
"Okay, I won't say any more. I'm leaving now. If I'm any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it!"
As Shen Yulin spoke, he picked up the basket and hurried out of the house.
Looking at Shen Yulin's appearance, Zhou Tian smiled and shook his head. He didn't know since when, Shen Yulin looked more and more like a qualified housewife, and there was no trace of her former innocent appearance.
However, he also understood that this might be the nature of every woman. Once they get married and have children, they will unconsciously transform into mothers.
"Xiaotian, where is Yulin?"
While I was eating, the door was suddenly pushed open and my mother-in-law came in from outside after sending the child to school.
"Mom, Xiaohao and his family are going home today, and Yulin went to the market to buy meat!"
"This damn girl, I told her to wait for me to come back and go together, but she just wouldn't wait. Really, then I'll go to the market too!"
After saying this, my mother-in-law turned around and left in a hurry.
"Oh, forget it, I'd rather not eat it!"
Seeing that everyone in the family had left, Zhou Tian had no appetite to eat anymore. He got up, packed up the food, and went to the main room.
"Dad, my brother and I also want to go to school!"
As soon as he entered the door, the two little ones hugged his legs, one on each side, and looked at him coquettishly with their silly and cute eyes.
"How old are you? Why do you want to go to school?"
Zhou Tian asked speechlessly as he picked up the two little guys with one hand each.
"No, we have to go to school. Our brothers and sisters are about to graduate from junior high school, so we have to go to school. We are also five years old. They can go to school at the age of five, so why can't we? It's not fair!"
Xiao Zhiye and Xiao Zhiming twisted their bodies unwillingly in Zhou Tian's arms.
"So can you compare with your brothers and sisters?"
Zhou Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes and looked at the two children: "Your brothers and sisters have already learned the fourth grade content at your age. You, I'm afraid you can't even learn the second grade content!"
"Nonsense, Dad, you are talking nonsense. We have already learned the third grade content. If you don't believe me, you can ask your uncle and aunt!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhiming immediately refuted.
"Oh? Is that true? Then I will really ask your uncle and aunt when they come back tonight. If you lie, watch out for your little butts!"
As Zhou Tian spoke, he carried the two children to Xiao Zhibei, Xiao Zhidong and Xiao Zhixi!
"Grandma, where's Grandpa? Is he playing chess again?"
Looking at the three little guys crawling on the kang, Zhou Tian looked at the grandmother who was keeping her eyes on her great-grandson and asked.
"Well, what else can I do besides this old man? But my God, we don't have enough milk powder at home. Do you think we can buy a few more cans?"
Ever since Shen Yulin gave birth to another pair of triplets last year, she didn’t know if these three little ones were here for revenge. Shen Yulin’s milk was simply not enough for the three little ones.
As a result, the milk powder at home was suddenly insufficient, and the three little ones were very drinkers, much more than Zhou Zhinan and the others before, so three cans of milk powder a month were not enough.
Fortunately, this happened in the Zhou family. If it happened in someone else's family, the family would have gone bankrupt from eating the food.
Especially as all national supplies have now been included in the unified plan, you need a ticket to buy anything, so milk powder is much harder to buy than before.
Even if Zhou Tian didn't have the two dairy cows raised in the space, the amount of milk powder he allocated would probably not be enough for these three little guys.
"Okay, I got it, grandma!"
Zhou Tian nodded, put Xiao Zhiming and Xiao Zhiye down, and started playing with the three children. He didn't know if it was because Shen Yulin's genes were too strong or his own genes. Although Shen Yulin had only given birth three times, each time was multiple births.
Now there are eight children in his family, seven boys and one girl. If he didn't want a few daughters, he wouldn't even want children. Having too many children is really worrying.
Of course, with his family's salary he is definitely not afraid, but the problem is that every time he returns home, the house is in chaos and it is really noisy.
After playing with the three little guys for a while, Zhou Tian asked Xiao Zhiming and Xiao Zhiye to help grandma look after their younger brother, then he walked out of the main room and came to the kitchen. He first opened the jar and took a look at the half jar of cornmeal left, then he gave up the idea of adding more cornmeal into it.
The main thing is that the kitchen is now occupied by his wife. If he adds more food, he will definitely not be able to hide it from his wife. It would be better for him to bring it back from outside.
As the disaster year was getting closer, he had basically reduced the food standard at home. It wasn't because he lacked those supplies, but mainly because he and the others were malnourished, while his family members all had greasy faces, which could not help but arouse suspicion.
Instead, it would be better to reduce the standard of meals at home now, so that it won’t be so noticeable after a year, and your family can adapt sooner.
After walking around for a while, Zhou Tian started to busy himself in the kitchen. After a while, Shen Yulin came in carrying three pounds of pork and a rooster.
"Boss, how did you get in? Get out now, it will be fine in a moment!"
Seeing her husband making a fire, Shen Yulin immediately stopped Zhou Tian and wanted to push him out.
"Okay, wife, I finally got a day off today, so let's go together. After all, it's not easy for you either. Two people will always be faster than one, don't you think?"
Zhou Tian smiled and grabbed his wife's hand, feeling the calluses on her hand. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable.
Thinking of his wife's delicate hands, which had become rough now, he knew who was responsible for all this. Especially in the past two years, as the disaster was getting closer, he had been researching and working day and night to improve the country's industrial level as quickly as possible, and he felt indescribable guilt in his heart.
He has somewhat neglected his wife.
"OK then!"
Shen Yulin felt the warmth in her husband's hands and her cheeks turned red. She forcefully pulled her hands out of his hands, turned around and pretended to be busy, but the blush on her ears told him how panicked she was.
Although the two have been married for such a long time, for some reason, Shen Yulin's heart still beats very fast when facing her husband's teasing, just like when they were in love!
