After preparing breakfast, Shen Lu called the two little ones to get up and eat.
This morning I made pumpkin pancakes and egg drop soup. Shen Lu added sweet red bean paste to the pumpkin pancakes. Each one was only about half the size of an adult's palm, small and delicious.
The two little ones were served at the perfect temperature.
They have good habits and don't need adults to coax them to eat. They obediently hold the spoon and drink the porridge spoonful by spoonful.
I was halfway through my meal when there was a knock on the door.
Shen Lu opened the door and saw two children, Shi Tou and Er Niu.
"Aunt Shen, we've come to ask Xiaoze and Xiaoyu to go out and play."
Erniu hid behind the stone and looked up at Shen Lu shyly.
Shen Lu knew that Er Niu's father had taken her words to heart yesterday, so he had his son take the initiative to take the little guy out to play.
Shen Lu and Li Mei inquired about the situation yesterday and found that there were quite a few children in this residential compound. However, Erniu was strong and brave, which is why he was the king of the kids.
With him playing with the two little ones, Xiaoze and Xiaoyu will soon integrate into the group.
Just then, Xiaoze and Xiaoyu had almost finished their meal. Hearing that some friends had come to play, the two were eager to try.
Shen Lu also specially prepared some pumpkin cakes for the children and instructed Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu.
"Go ahead and wait until you've eaten. Mom will make it for you again next time." The two little ones nodded.
Seeing that the weather was a bit gloomy, Shen Lu told the two of them to come back quickly if it rained, so they wouldn't catch a cold from getting wet.
Watching the two figures skip and hop until they disappeared at the end of the road.
Shen Lu then went home.
She didn't forget the yard and went to observe it. In just one night, many small green shoots sprouted on the ground, growing vigorously.
Shen Lu then fertilized all the crops in the backyard before returning to her study to translate.
Just as Shen Lu had predicted, the two little ones hadn't been out for long when a heavy rain started to fall.
Shen Lu was a little worried that the two little ones would get wet in the rain, but she didn't know where they had gone to play, so she could only wait at home for the time being.
Half an hour later, just as Shen Lu was getting restless and preparing to go find the two little ones, the two finally returned home.
The two of them leaned against the gate frame of the courtyard fence, not daring to come in. They cautiously watched Shen Lu, hiding their hands behind their backs.
Shen Lu knew that the two little ones were afraid of making her angry.
She was somewhat worried, but seeing the two little ones soaked to the bone, she couldn't bear to say anything.
"Come in and change your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
After saying that, Shen Lu turned around and went to the room to find dry clothes for the two little ones.
The two little ones breathed a sigh of relief, carrying the broken bowls they had found somewhere, and went into the house to put them on the table.
While the two little ones were changing clothes, Shen Lu peeked into the broken bowl.
It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, you'll be terrified.
Inside the broken bowl, many earthworms were wriggling.
Shen Lu was most afraid of two kinds of animals: those without legs and those with many legs.
Earthworms are clearly within this range.
After the two little ones changed their clothes, they saw her startled expression and were clearly a little guilty.
Xiao Yu explained, "Er Niu and the others said that it's best to use earthworms to loosen the soil when planting."
They dug up these earthworms because they wanted to plant them together with their mother; they didn't mean to scare her.
Seeing the two children's terrified expressions, Shen Lu knew they meant well, so she didn't blame them.
Shen Lu didn't dare to look any longer and urged the two of them to throw the earthworms into the soil in the backyard.
When they returned, he made sure they washed their hands thoroughly with soap before he stopped.
Shen Lu was still worried that the two little ones would get sick, and wanted to use ginger to dispel the cold, but then thought that the children would definitely not be used to spicy ginger soup.
So I decided to make ginger milk curd for the two children while they were changing clothes.
Grind the ginger into a fine powder, extract the ginger juice, and then use boiling water to brew the malted milk powder. Shen Lu also added a little white sugar to make it palatable for the two children.
Thinking that the two little ones probably had never seen ginger milk curd before, I called them over.
"Watch closely, Xiaoze and Xiaoyu, Mommy's going to do you a magic trick."
Shen Lu poured the freshly prepared malted milk powder into the ginger juice and covered it with a lid.
The two little ones had their attention completely focused on the bowl.
Five minutes passed, and Shen Lu gave each of them a spoon. After lifting the lid, the liquid in the bowl had solidified.
The twins poked at it with a spoon and widened their eyes when they found that it really was different.
"Try it quickly."
The two little ones scooped up a spoonful and put it in their mouths.
The rich, smooth texture, combined with the intense milky flavor, explodes on the tongue, leaving a warm and comforting feeling in the stomach after swallowing.
The two little ones were completely mesmerized by the aroma.
She kept eating, spoonful after spoonful.
Shen Lu sat opposite the two children, her chin resting on her hand. They were clearly less wary of her than before.
Shen Lu asked Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu.
"How did you play with the other children today? Did you have any conflicts?"
Xiao Ze remained silent, but Xiao Yu, recalling his experiences that day, spoke up with great interest.
"They've never eaten such delicious pancakes before. They all said it couldn't possibly be made by you; it must have been bought from outside."
They didn't believe it until Brother Stone and Brother Erniu spoke up, saying they saw you take it from home with their own eyes.
As Xiao Yu spoke, he puffed out his chest, looking incredibly proud.
Shen Lu was amused by him.
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. Next time I make something extra delicious, I can share it with the other kids."
Xiao Ze shook his head. He didn't want them to eat the delicious food his mother made; it was only for him and his younger brother.
They had just gained such a gentle mother and didn't want to share her with anyone else, not even their friends.
Shen Lu smiled when she saw the little guy shake his head, but didn't say anything more.
Unlike other parents, she doesn't demand that her children be generous and learn to share.
Instead, she respected the child's choice, believing that Xiaoze must have his own reasons for doing so.
In the afternoon, the rain got heavier and heavier.
Large raindrops pounded on the ground, stirring up mist, and the entire residential compound was shrouded in a hazy rain.
This kind of weather is perfect for sleeping, and with two little ones by her side, Shen Lu slept very soundly during her afternoon nap.
In the afternoon, the two children couldn't go out to play, so they stayed home and played instead.
Shen Lu translated carefully and quickly.
Yesterday's and today's translation progress is already one-third complete. There are still five or six days left this week, so there's no rush for the translation.
Seeing that the two children were bored, Shen Lu took out paper and pen to prepare to teach them to read.
Let's start by learning the most basic strokes.
I didn't expect those two little brains to be so quick and have such good memories.
Shen Lu repeatedly confirmed whether the two had received early education before, otherwise it would be impossible for them to learn so quickly at the age of five.
