It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child
Chapter 16 Let a man drink milk from a bottle?
She went straight back to her room, entered the space, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.
The two children just kept watching the wild boar in the yard and didn't feel cold at all.
"Brother, how do you think our stepmother managed to kill such a big wild boar?" Xiaobao asked.
"I don't know." Dabao answered truthfully, and no longer objected to Xiaobao calling Su Man stepmother.
"I think my stepmother is so great, and she has really changed for the better. She was just coaxing me. If it were the past, she would never coax us. And even if she kills a wild boar, she will not bring it home. She will definitely sell it secretly by herself. My stepmother now is so nice!" Xiaobao supported his chin with admiration in his eyes.
Dabao didn't respond, but he didn't refute either, so in fact, he agreed with what Xiaobao said a little bit.
When Su Man came out of the room and saw the two children still squatting in front of the wild boar, she was a little amused.
"Why are you two still squatting there? Aren't you cold? Go back to your room quickly. I picked some sweet grapes for you. I'm going to wash them for you now. Go back to your room and wait for me first. Hurry up."
The two children now listen to her very much, but they are afraid that Su Man will get angry or be unwilling to take care of them.
Su Man was so happy to see the two children being so obedient.
She washed the big bunch of grapes first, as she had other uses for the remaining small bunch.
It was the first time for the two children to see this kind of grapes. They were not only curious but also a little afraid to touch them.
Xiao Bao asked Su Man hesitantly.
"Stepmother, what kind of fruit is this grape? Why does it look so strange? We have never seen it before? Can it... really be eaten? Really... um... it won't be poisonous, right? People in the village say that many things in the mountains are poisonous..."
It’s not that Xiaobao doesn’t believe Su Man, but because they have never seen this fruit before.
Su Man was indeed not angry about Xiao Bao's words. Not only was she not angry, she was actually quite happy.
With such a vigilant personality, he is indeed worthy of being Su Man’s son!
"Actually, this is called grapes. It's a wild fruit from the mountains. It's very sweet. I've tasted it and it's not poisonous."
In fact, she chose to take out grapes because they looked more like wild fruits and she thought the two children would be more likely to accept them.
The two children were still a little hesitant, so Su Man had to pick up a grape and put it in her mouth and started eating it, squinting her eyes with great enjoyment.
"Mmm...yummy! Sweet!"
When Xiaobao saw that Su Man had eaten all of them, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and finally he couldn't help but put one in his mouth.
After just one bite, Xiaobao liked it so much! His eyes narrowed as well.
"Wow! This fruit is so delicious! Woo woo woo..."
Su Man was very pleased with Xiao Bao's appearance. Then she looked at Da Bao next to her and directly picked up one and put it into Da Bao's mouth.
Before Dabao could react, he subconsciously bit the grape into his mouth. The sour and sweet juice spread in his mouth, and even Dabao, who was always mature, narrowed his eyes.
Su Man also curled her lips, "How is it? Sweet, right?"
When Dabao heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red, looking very cute.
It’s just that the two children are a little too thin, very skinny. If they could gain some weight, they would be cuter.
Dabao actually wanted to say it was not sweet, because his main purpose was to go against Su Man, but the fruit in his mouth was so sweet that he couldn't resist it, and finally he could only remain silent.
When Xiaobao saw Su Man feeding his brother, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Stepmother..." He shouted with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Man, who was looking at Dabao with interest, glanced at Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao hesitated and pointed at his finger, whispering,
"Can you...can you feed me some too? I...I also want to eat what you feed me..."
Su Man was stunned at first, then she couldn't help laughing and directly fed Xiao Bao a grape.
"Of course, I can feed you whatever you want."
Xiaobao smiled, feeling satisfied, and felt that the fruit in his mouth became even sweeter!
Su Man handed the bowl to Dabao and said,
"Take it, Dabao, and share it with your brother, and then listen to what I say next, okay?"
Dabao frowned slightly before taking the bowl. Xiaobao also looked at Su Man obediently. The two brothers were waiting for Su Man's next words.
"As you can see, I just went to the mountains and hunted a wild boar, but my family can't eat that much. And we have no money at home, so I need to sell the wild boar and exchange it for some silver to buy some other things.
Just now when I was going down the mountain, I met two uncles from the village, Dafu and Dagui. They were also going to the town to sell their game, so they were kind enough to take me with them. It might be a little late when we come back, so could you two wait for me at home?"
After hearing what she said, the two children's first reaction was nervousness. They suspected that Su Man was going to take the opportunity to run away.
Although they didn't know how much silver the wild boar could be sold for, it was definitely a lot. If the wild boar was sold, the stepmother could live a very good life alone.
Xiaobao's eyes gradually turned red.
"Wu... Stepmother, don't you want us anymore? Wuuuu..."
Seeing Xiaobao suddenly burst into tears, Su Man was frightened and didn't know what to do for a moment. She felt at a loss.
"No, no, why would I not want you? What are you thinking? It's just too late and too cold to take you with me. I promise I will come back tonight, no matter how late it is, okay?"
She hurriedly wiped Xiaobao's tears. Her heart broke when she saw the child's tears.
Xiaobao grabbed her hand directly, with anticipation in his eyes.
"Is everything you said true? Are you really not leaving? Are you really not going to abandon us?"
Su Man smiled and nodded, then looked at Dabao who was holding a bowl beside her.
When Dabao noticed her gaze, he immediately looked away and turned his head away from her.
Su Man smiled helplessly, knowing that this arrogant Dabao was actually looking forward to it, so...
"Don't worry, I promise I won't. Think about it, I treated you so badly before, but I didn't abandon you. How could I abandon you now? If you don't believe me, I will be really sad."
"No, no, no, stepmother, don't be sad!" Xiaobao said quickly, "We believe in you, we definitely believe in you! Then you have to promise us that you will come back no matter how late it is."
"Okay, I promise, I will come back no matter how late it is, believe me."
Dabao moved his ears without saying anything or looking back, while Xiaobao cheered and called her stepmother happily.
"Then stepmother, can I give this grape to my father? Can my father eat this?" Xiaobao asked again.
This time, Dabao turned around and looked at Su Man.
Su Man marveled at the two children's understanding, but also directly shattered their expectations.
"No, your dad probably can't chew right now, so you can't give him random food."
"Then... let's go find something else to eat for Daddy. Daddy will starve if we don't." Xiaobao continued.
Su Man really didn't want to care about the man. Anyway, if she fed him something every day, he wouldn't starve to death, and there was no need to feed him every meal.
But she was reluctant to tell the two children directly, otherwise the two children might be sad.
"Then you wait here. I'll go to the kitchen and get your father something to eat."
In fact, if the two children hadn't mentioned that man just now, she would have almost forgotten that there was a man in the house.
After Su Man left, the two children came to the bedside to see their father. Xiaobao looked for a while and then looked at Dabao next to him.
"Brother, can you please not be so angry with the stepmother? Can you be nicer to the stepmother? The stepmother has been so good to us, we should also be nicer to her, otherwise she will be sad!"
Dabao glanced at Xiaobao and did not refute what Xiaobao said. Instead, he whispered, "I know."
Xiao Bao was overjoyed, "Brother, do you really agree? You are not angry with your stepmother, and you think she has become a better person?"
Dabao was a little angry and embarrassed by Xiaobao's words.
"I just said that I know, and you are not allowed to say it again! Otherwise I will be angry!"
Xiaobao stuck out his tongue, not daring to make his brother angry again. Instead, he picked up a grape, put it in his mouth and slowly bit it.
"How can there be such delicious fruits? How can there be such sweet fruits?"
He ate while mumbling, and Dabao listened and put one in his mouth. It was indeed very sweet...
Su Man came to the kitchen and took out two cans of milk powder, a bottle and two mugs.
She put one of the cans of milk powder into the bottle and started to soak it. The other can was children's milk powder, which she planned to make for her two children. She also had a thermos cup, which she added with appropriate warm water and then took both to the room.
She got the bottle because she frequently dreamed about her baby and felt something was wrong, so she bought various baby products. Now it comes in handy.
When Dabao and Xiaobao saw the milk bottle for the first time, they felt very curious and strange.
"Stepmother, what is this? Why does it look so strange?"
"Hey... this is a bottle. It's used to feed babies without teeth. Because your father is in a coma, he can only drink from this bottle. There are also two cups of milk here. They are for you. Drink one cup each. It's good for your health."
The two children didn't expect to get their own share, and they would be lying if they said they were unhappy.
But what they are most curious about now is the bottle.
Xiaobao: "Stepmother, this... um... bottle for babies without teeth, can it really make Daddy drink the milk?"
"Don't worry, of course you can. It's too troublesome to feed him mouthful by mouthful. Let him suck by himself."
That’s right, this is Su Man’s ultimate goal. She doesn’t want to feed this man mouthful by mouthful, it’s so tiring!
So Su Man put the pacifier to the man's mouth under the expectant and curious gaze of the two children.
The man, who had already heard what Su Man had just said, actually didn't want to suck when he felt something strange around his lips.
But he also knew very clearly that he had to eat now, so that he could ensure that his body would get better as soon as possible and wake up as soon as possible.
Although he didn't know why he regained consciousness and sanity, he knew that this was a good thing and he had to wake up quickly, otherwise he was afraid that the two children would be in danger sooner or later.
The two children were also very surprised to see the milk in the bottle decreasing.
Their daddy actually eats so fast! It used to be very difficult to feed him mouthful by mouthful.
Su Man, who was sitting on the bed with a bottle in her hand, couldn't help but twitch her lips and felt speechless.
Hmm… How should I put it? From her perspective, a handsome man is drinking milk from a bottle that only babies use. How can this scene not look out of place? Not weird?
In fact, she even wanted to laugh a little, but she felt that she was a mother after all, so how could she do such a childish thing? So she kept holding back her laughter until the bottle was empty.
"Okay, you two have seen that your daddy is full, so it's time for you to drink milk. Hurry up and finish it obediently so that you can grow some meat and get better health."
The two children each held their own cup and gulped down the milk.
Dabao finished drinking first. He held the cup and looked at Su Man. He hesitated for a long time before whispering,
"Thank you."
Su Man was looking at the two children with interest, and suddenly she heard Dabao say "thank you", which really surprised her.
"Dabao, what did you say just now? Thank you? Are you not mad at me anymore?"
Su Man looked at Dabao with great interest, wanting to hear another thank you from Dabao.
But Dabao would never say it again. He hesitated for a long time before saying that sentence just now. It was absolutely impossible for him to say it a second time.
So he just turned his back again, looking like he didn't want to talk to anyone.
Xiao Bao covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then came close to Su Man and said,
"Stepmother, don't be angry. I am just shy and embarrassed. I really said thank you just now. We all know that you are good. Stepmother, I thank you too."
Xiaobao's voice was crisp, and full of admiration and fondness, and Su Man's heart softened.
"Okay, okay, stepmother believes in you and will definitely not be angry. As long as you know that I won't beat or scold you like before, that's fine."
Xiaobao nodded with his eyes curved.
"Okay, my brother and I definitely believe it."
Su Man pinched Xiao Bao's cheeks, but still felt that Xiao Bao's face was too thin and uncomfortable to pinch. She thought she should make them fatter so that they would feel better.
The two brothers Dafu and Dagui arrived in less than an hour. They also drove an ox cart, which was the brothers' ox cart. They occasionally used it to take villagers to the town for one penny each. It was also for the convenience of the two of them to sell their game in the town.
Because the two brothers came in a horse-drawn carriage, some people in the village saw them, so someone asked curiously.
The two brothers did not hide anything, they just said that Su Man had killed a wild boar and they took it to the town to sell it.
