Today the weather is finally not as hot as usual, so it's the perfect time to eat something warm.

Shen Lu braved the rain to buy a grass carp, intending to make her signature dish, spicy and sour fish.

Shen Lu skillfully prepared the fish slices, and then proceeded with a series of actions.

The hot and sour fish is ready. The fish is tender and smooth, paired with a sour and spicy sauce and refreshing side dishes.

The two little ones ate until their bellies were bulging.

Seeing the two children looking like they hadn't had enough.

Shen Lu rested her chin on her hand. At this rate, the two little ones would definitely return to the weight of normal children in less than a month.

After dinner, the mother and her two children sat by candlelight.

The two little ones had just been clamoring to fly kites, so Shen Lu found some wood and paper and made kites for them.

Shen Lu was whittling wooden branches to make a frame, and then found some paint and handed the brushes to the two little ones, letting them add color to the monotonous white paper.

The two little ones held up their paintbrushes, drawing and gesturing wildly as they told her about the interesting things that happened that day.

"When they were playing with Erniu today, I told them the story I heard yesterday, and it really impressed those little brats. I was so proud of myself."

Gu Xingyu tilted his head back, looking smug.

Gu Xingze pointed in the direction of Erniu's house.

Gu Xingyu immediately understood and said, "With Brother Erniu around, all the other kids should come up and play with us."

Children don't hold grudges overnight, and besides, Erniu had already learned his lesson, so the two children didn't hold it against each other.

Shen Lu lowered her eyes and made kites for the two little ones.

The dim candlelight flickered on Shen Lu's round face, and the shadows cast by her long eyelashes enveloped her beautiful eyes, while strands of her hair fell down her fair and delicate neck.

Even though Shen Lu weighs 180 pounds, her features are still very attractive.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu cupped their faces in their hands, thinking that their mother was the most beautiful woman in the world.

It was early summer and the weather was rather cold today, so the mother and her two children didn't take a shower, but simply wiped themselves down.

The twins weren't thinking about playing around today; they lay obediently in bed early in the morning, gazing longingly at Shen Lu.

They were clearly waiting to hear a story.

Fortunately, Shen Lu has always had a love of reading, so dealing with the two little ones is no problem.

After putting the two little ones to sleep, Shen Lu touched their foreheads to check their temperatures. Xiao Yu's temperature was normal, but Xiao Ze's was a little high.

Shen Lu regretted not feeding them some medicine while they were awake earlier.

He could only lie down holding Xiaoze's hand so that he could detect any situation immediately.

At midnight, thunder and rain were pouring down outside the room.

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, Shen Lu suddenly sensed something.

Suddenly opening his eyes, he saw Xiaoze beside him breathing rapidly, his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed, looking as if he was in pain.

She reached out to test the temperature of his forehead and was burned.

Shen Lu calmed her panicked mind, picked up Xiao Ze, and found some fever-reducing medicine in the first-aid kit to give him.

She went outside again to fetch a basin of water to wipe Xiaoze's body.

Just a few minutes after Shen Lu left, a thunderclap ripped across the sky, and the sound of crying came from inside the house.

She hurried back and turned around to see Xiao Yu stumbling out of his room barefoot.

Xiao Yu was half asleep, his big eyes filled with tears, and he asked in a tearful voice.

"Mommy, Mommy, where are you going?"

Shen Lu stood there, stunned. This was the first time she had ever heard Xiao Yu call her "Mom".

She picked up Xiaoyu and carried him back into the house, silently vowing to protect the two soft and adorable little ones no matter what.

The thunderclap woke Xiao Yu up, and even after he got to bed, he kept crying with his eyes closed.

Shen Lu carefully picked up Xiao Yu, placed the child's drooping head in the crook of her neck, and gently patted his back.

The mother's soft and reassuring embrace calmed Xiao Yu for a moment.

A few minutes later, he started crying again, and Xiaoze next to him struggled slightly, seemingly about to be awakened.

Shen Lu could only hold the child in one arm and use the other hand to keep cooling Xiao Ze down with a towel.

After Xiao Ze was given the medicine, his condition stabilized a bit. Shen Lu picked up Xiao Yu and swayed him while humming a comforting tune.

In the warm, soft embrace, listening to his mother's gentle humming, Xiao Yu's furrowed brows relaxed.

He occasionally hummed a little, then turned his head and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Lu gently put Xiao Yu down, then wrung out a towel and wiped Xiao Ze's body again and again.

Pay special attention to wiping the armpits, neck, groin, and popliteal fossa, these areas that dissipate heat.

Xiaoze's face was flushed, and her lips were dry and cracked from the fever. She was in great pain, but she could only frown and groan softly. She couldn't even cry.

Shen Lu felt a pang of heartache and her nose stung with tears. She hadn't forgotten that Xiao Ze in the story had suffered brain damage at this age.

Is it possible that the content of the article cannot be changed?

Shen Lu was a little worried and prepared to take Xiao Ze to the hospital.

Just as Shen Lu finished dressing and was about to ask Li Mei to take care of Xiao Yu, it was unclear whether the medication or Shen Lu's repeated wiping had an effect.

Xiaoze's fever finally subsided.

After a long and tiring night, Shen Lu was finally able to lie down and rest.

Shen Lu was to Xiao Ze's left, and Shen Lu was to Xiao Yu's right.

The family fell into a deep sleep.

During this time, Shen Lu felt uneasy and woke up several times. She only felt at ease and lay back down after touching Xiao Ze's body temperature, which had returned to normal.

As dawn broke, Shen Lu slowly opened her eyes. The two little ones were fast asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed).

She subconsciously checked the temperature of the two little ones' foreheads, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were both completely alright.

Recalling yesterday's experience, which felt like fighting a battle all night, Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was all over.

Shen Lu got dressed and got out of bed.

Outside, it had rained all night, and the world felt as clean and refreshed as if it had been washed. A gentle breeze blew by, and it was slightly cool.

After washing up, Shen Lu prepared breakfast for the two little ones.

Because both children were sick, Shen Lu cooked very bland meals.

Millet porridge, steamed eggs, and some refreshing side dishes.

After a whole night of fussing, Shen Lu was starving this morning.

After eating a few bites and checking on the two little ones, Shen Lu began her day's activities.

The two little ones didn't wake up until almost noon. Shen Lu reheated the cooled porridge and added a few dates to each serving for extra flavor.

The two children looked completely dazed, utterly unaware of what had happened the night before.

Shen Lu didn't remind them, to avoid leaving them with bad memories.

"The earthworms you caught yesterday seem to have worked; the seedlings in the field have grown quite a bit."

Shen Lu knew that she needed to give her children more positive feedback so that they would be encouraged and become more confident and cheerful.

Upon hearing this, the two little ones jumped up and down with uncontrollable joy, and each ate half a bowl more than usual during their meal.
