Chapter 40 Children

Although the first time I saw such a child in my previous life was more than a year later, but now Yan Jingshu still recognizes the younger children. When she saw that the children were all staring at him blankly, she bent down and called each of them. Out of their names, "Let me guess, you are Erwa, you are Tieniu, you are Xiaohua, and you are Xiaodou, right?"

A group of children didn't expect that the beautiful big brother in front of them knew them all, and they were even more surprised, their mouths were so open that they could almost stuff a whole piece of wishful cake.

Jiang Chenghan was moving things down from the carriage, and he didn't expect that he just told Yan Jingshu once, and Yan Jingshu actually wrote down the names of each child, and he didn't admit it wrong, but thinking of Yan Jingshu, he always seemed to know something about himself. I don't think it's so strange about the matter.

"Brother Yan, Brother Jiang, I guessed that you were here." Huang Sanniang also came out of the door. She was very pleasantly surprised to see Yan Jingshu and Jiang Chenghan beside her, and hurried forward to help Jiang Chenghan get away with things, and then to the children He said: "What are you still doing standing there, don't you know your Uncle Jiang?"

When the children heard her voice, they came back to see Jiang Chenghan behind Yan Jingshu, shouting "Uncle Jiang, what are you doing?" "Uncle Jiang, I miss you so much" and surrounded Jiang Chenghan.

At this time, two people came out of the yard, an old man wearing a washed white gown with patches and a gray goatee, and a fat middle-aged woman in her forties.Among the two, the old man, surnamed Chen, is the steward of the shantang, responsible for the accounting and purchases, and the middle-aged woman, Aunt Zhao, is hired to cook for the elders and children in the courtyard.

"I don't know who this is?" Seeing Yan Jingshu standing outside the door, the two of them didn't know each other, so Old Chen asked.

Yan Jingshu smiled and said to Old Chen: "I am Cheng Han's husband, and I will come with him to see the children today."

"Husband? Oh, oh, I heard from Sanniang that Xiaojiang is married. He is really lucky to marry such a handsome husband. Come on, don't stand at the door, come in and sit." Mr. Chen Hearing Huang Sanniang talk about Jiang Chenghan's marriage, she also knew that she married a twin, so she warmly invited Yan Jingshu into the courtyard.

"Mr. Chen is polite." Yan Jingshu nodded slightly with a smile. Looking back, she saw that Jiang Chenghan had also finished moving the things on the carriage, carrying two bags and a few children. Huang Sanniang and Aunt Zhao followed with other things. Later, he walked in first.

The small courtyard is not big, with a patio in the middle and a large tank in the middle, surrounded by a circle of houses, which is very compact.But the cleaning was very clean, and some flowers and plants were planted under the windows, but it was late autumn at this time, so it looked a bit barren. There was only a persimmon tree next to the gate, which bore a lot of fruit, which was very gratifying to look at.

Jiang Chenghan, Huang Sanniang and others moved the things they brought into the yard, including cloth, cotton, charcoal fire, etc., in the room, and some pastries, sugar cakes, etc. were placed on the wooden table under the persimmon tree, ready to be distributed to the children .

"Jingshu, come and share with the children. I'll take some to the old man in the house." Jiang Chenghan put down his things and said to Yan Jingshu.

In addition to orphans who have lost their parents and no one to support them, there are also two elderly orphans in the shantang. The weather is cold and they are unable to move, so they stay in the house and do not come out.

"Okay." Yan Jingshu naturally had no objection to Jiang Chenghan's arrangement, and nodded to open the paper bag containing the pastry.

"Then I'll trouble you." Jiang Chenghan smiled, and then said to the children who were watching eagerly around them: "You haven't forgotten what I taught you before I left, right? Arrange them in order from tallest to shortest Team—take a break, stand at attention!"

The children are big and small, but in order to prevent them from looting and getting injured, Jiang Chenghan trained them to fight in line.After seeing that the children were quickly standing in a row obediently as he said, he took two packs of pastries and went to the main room in the small courtyard.

"Come on, one piece for each person, don't grab it." The children also had little appetite for snacks, so in order not to delay their normal meals, Yan Jingshu only gave them one piece each, and put away the rest first, and slowly gave them to them later eat.

The first thing in the list is the youngest among several children. He is only two years old. He has just learned to walk, and sometimes he will shake when he walks too fast, but he is also the cutest and well-behaved. , Holding a piece of wishful cake that Yan Jingshu gave him, he still didn't forget to say "Thank you brother" in a childish voice.

"You're welcome." Looking at him, Yan Jingshu couldn't help thinking of her nephew, Brother Xin, and couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the child lightly on the forehead.The child held the pastry with one hand, touched the kissed forehead with the other, blinked his big purple grape-like eyes, and then made a move that surprised Yan Jingshu.

"It's delicious, give it to brother." The child actually held Ruyi Cake in both hands and wanted to give it to Yan Jingshu.

Yan Jingshu was so moved that she pinched the child's face and said with a smile: "Brother has already eaten, this is for Xiaodou, let Xiaodou eat."

Only then did the child put down his little hand, but he still didn't eat it himself, but ran up to Mr. Chen and wanted to give it to Mr. Chen.Old Chen naturally wouldn't eat his cakes, and only let him eat them himself.

Yan Jingshu continued to share snacks with the next child, but after giving the snacks to that child, the child didn't move.

Yan Jingshu said casually: "One person can only eat one piece, otherwise you won't be able to eat if you eat too much."

The child showed a bit of aggrieved expression when he heard the words, pointed to his forehead and said, "Kiss?"

Only then did Yan Jingshu suddenly realize, and hurriedly bent down and kissed her.Only then did the child happily go aside to eat the pastry.

When it was time for the next child, Yan Jingshu didn't need to remind her, and after dividing the pastry, she automatically went to kiss her.

Soon, a pack of pastries was distributed, and it happened to be the last child named Tieniu, who was also the oldest of these children in Shantang, and was already eight years old.

After Yan Jingshu gave him the cake, she went to kiss him as usual, but Tieniu ran away suddenly, which made Yan Jingshu startled, thinking that she was hated.

But seeing that although Tie Niu ran away, he peeked at him from time to time and blushed, Yan Jingshu realized that it wasn't that he was hated, but that Tie Niu was shy, so he couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Chenghan stayed in the house for a while before coming out. In addition to delivering snacks to the two old people, he also asked the old people how they were doing, how they were doing, how they were eating, and so on. This wasted some time.When they came out, they saw a group of children surrounding Yan Jingshu, who was sitting on a wooden bench under the persimmon tree, writing something on the wooden table.

He didn't make a sound, and when he walked in, he saw that he was not writing anything, but drawing a picture.I saw that the outline of the small courtyard of the shantang had already taken shape in the painting, and the persimmon tree beside the door was also drawn in. At this moment, a group of children playing are being drawn.

Yan Jing's calligraphy and painting skills are not superb, but they are good at it. With just a few strokes, she has outlined several boys and girls in different shapes, but they are all equally innocent and lively children.

Tieniu waited for a few children to watch with amazement on their faces. Whenever Yan Jing finished a painting, she immediately burst into exclamation.

Mr. Chen sat under the window where he could enjoy the sun, and looked at Yan Jingshu and the children with a smile on his face. When he saw Jiang Chenghan coming out, he said, "Xiao Jiang, I knew you were lucky to marry such a good husband." Lang."

Although he didn't know Yan Jingshu's identity, Chen Lao had seen some things in the world when he was young, and he could be sure just by looking at Yan Jingshu's behavior and appearance, that he was definitely from a wealthy family.

With such a background, Yan Jingshu not only came to this simple and shabby courtyard in person, but also got close to and play with the children without any taboo. Married, and married such a kind and kind-hearted husband.

Jiang Chenghan smiled and didn't speak, but he looked at Yan Jingshu with an extremely gentle gaze. No one needs to tell how good his husband is, and no one knows how good his husband is better than him.

There are no special paints for painting in the shantang, only some brushes, ink, paper and inkstones for the older children to practice calligraphy. Since there is no need to paint, Yan Jingshu completed a painting very quickly.When he stood up and turned around, he realized that Jiang Chenghan had been watching them from behind.

"When did you come out?" Yan Jingshu asked subconsciously.

"Not long." Jiang Chenghan stepped forward with a smile, and wiped the ink stains on Yan Jingshu's hands with his sleeve.

"Uncle Jiang, look, this is me." "There is me and me, this is me."

The time between the two of them was over soon, and the children who found Jiang Chenghan immediately surrounded them, dragged Jiang Chenghan to see Yan Jing's calligraphy and painting, and pointed to the villain above for Jiang Chenghan to look at.

Jiang Chenghan was pushed and pulled by several children, so he had no choice but to let go of Yan Jingshu to look at the painting.The ink on her hands can't be wiped clean, Yan Jingshu glanced around the yard, saw a hanging garlic hanging on the door frame of the inverted room next to the door, and there were people walking inside, guessing that it should be the kitchen , and walked over.

"Xiao Jiang and his husband are here today, and they can cook some good dishes, which is also a congratulations to Xiao Jiang and his wife." The one who spoke was Aunt Zhao, who was cutting meat on the chopping board.

Huang Sanniang, who was choosing vegetables at the side, heard the words, but said: "I see that Mr. Jiang is not an ordinary person. I don't know if he can get used to our simple food. Otherwise, I'd better go to the nearby Liji restaurant to buy some vegetables and come back. Bar."

"This..." Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao thought of Yan Jingshu's clothes and thought that Huang Sanniang's words were not unreasonable, but buying food from a restaurant might cost a lot of money, and it's not up to her to decide, so she said: " Why don't you ask Mr. Chen, after all, he is in charge of money."

"Okay, I'll ask. But maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Brother Jiang and his husband may not stay for dinner this time." After speaking, Huang Sanniang stood up and wiped her hands casually on the apron , turned around and saw Yan Jingshu who just stepped into the door.

"I want to wash my hands, is there any water here?" Yan Jingshu asked with a smile.

Huang Sanniang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't respond, but Aunt Zhao hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, there are, there are a lot of them in the tank, use them as you like." As she spoke, she wanted to come over to help Yan Jingshu scoop water.

Yan Jingshu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said, "Thank you, I'll do it myself."

Aunt Zhao is a straight-hearted person, remembering what she said to Huang Sanniang just now, and seeing that the master is right in front of her eyes, she asked directly, "Xiao Jiang's wife, do you want to stay for dinner at noon?"

Yan Jingshu scooped up the water and washed it into her hand, and said with a smile after hearing the words: "Of course, my husband often told me that Aunt Zhao's craftsmanship is very good, and today I am lucky enough to taste it."

"Oh, what about Xiaojiang, my skills are only average, far from the chef of Cyclamen." Aunt Zhao was modest, but she looked very happy.

Yan Jingshu smiled, washed her hands clean, put down the water ladle, and said, "Then it's hard work, auntie, and Sanniang."

"Where, that's what I do. It's not hard work, it's just two more of you, it's nothing." Aunt Zhao waved her hand, not paying attention.On weekdays, I have to cook three meals a day for the dozen or so people in the Shantang, but today I added Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu, that is, to cook more dishes and add more rice.

After coming out of the kitchen, Jiang Chenghan had already brought the children to play in the yard, maybe he lifted the child to run in circles in the yard, or raised his arms to let the two children hang on his elbows to swing, or Lie down on the ground and let the children sit on him to do push-ups, but the five children on his body are all very stable.

After playing for a while, until they were sweating a little, and afraid of catching cold, Yan Jingshu stepped forward to ask them all to stop and have a rest, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of several children one by one.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhao announced that dinner was ready, and the children immediately cheered and washed their hands, and then sat obediently in their seats by the table.

There was a lot of trouble in the morning, and after lunch, the adults were fine, but the children were unavoidably sleepy, so Huang Sanniang took them to take a nap.But the children probably knew that they would not see Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu when they woke up.

In the end, Yan Jingshu had no choice but to take them to the bedroom, put them on the bed in person, promised to visit them again in the future, and told them a story, finally put these children to sleep.

When Yan Jingshu came out of the house, it was getting late, and it was time for them to go back.Zhao Auntie and Huang Sanniang didn't know where they were in the courtyard, so they just bid farewell to Mr. Chen, and then Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu left the shantang.

The two of them didn't take a carriage either, they just walked towards home.

Thinking of Jiang Chenghan playing with the children on the road, Yan Jingshu couldn't help asking: "Do you like children very much?"

Jiang Chenghan smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is nothing I particularly like or dislike, but children are always much simpler than adults."

Yan Jingshu asked again: "Then do you prefer boys, girls, or Shuang'er?"

Jiang Chenghan heard something, turned his head to look at Yan Jingshu, and smiled gently: "Boys, girls, and Shuang'er are all the same to me. They are all treasures bestowed by heaven, and I like them all."

Being watched tenderly by Jiang Chenghan, her thoughts were seen through, Yan Jingshu's cheeks were slightly red, the corners of her lips curled up sweetly, with a touch of longing, she said softly: "...you will definitely be the best father in the future."

Jiang Chenghan lowered his head slightly, his voice was as low as a whisper, and he said with a smile: "We will all be."
