Chapter 435 eating a cup of wine makes one wiser
"Bang!"
In the quiet office area, there was a sudden sound of a broken glass, followed by a shout from An' an, "Ah..."
Li Haitang, who had just finished the meeting, stood up and heard his son shouting. He didn't even pack his documents. He rushed out of the office as fast as he could and shouted anxiously, "An' an."
"Mom!" Duoduo screamed in fright and jumped on the spot, "Mom, come on, brother is burning."
Li Haitang followed the voice and rushed to the place where the employees usually took the water. He saw oats scattered all over the floor, glasses were broken, and his son's hands were still steaming. He shook the oats in a panic and quickly picked him up and rushed to the tap to wash him quickly with cold water.
"An' an, don't be afraid. Flush it with cold water. Mom will take you to the doctor later." Li Haitang was so scared that his heart was trembling. When he saw him flat his mouth and washing it, his eyes were sore.
"Mom, it doesn't hurt. It hurt a little when it was just scalded. It doesn't hurt anymore." An' an was scared when the glass broke.
Li Haitang finished rinsing him, looked carefully at his hands, and saw that there were two coin sized red marks on the back of his hands, but there were no blisters. He breathed a sigh of relief."
"Teacher li, I have scald cream here. I accidentally got scalded by boiling water last time. I went to the hospital to prescribe some medicine. I'll bring it to An' an and apply some." Liu Juan said.
"Okay, thank you." Li Haitang thanked her, then carried his son to a clean place, wiped his hands with a tissue, glanced at the oats on the ground, and asked gently, "Are you hungry?"
Duoduo came over with her cup that had not yet been brewed. She frowned and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to drink something hot. My brother helped me find oats in my mother's drawer. We came here to take the blisters. As a result, the water was too much. My brother dropped the cup without holding it steady and burned his hand."
"Mother has taught you at home that you are too young to stay away from dangerous things like hot water and oil. When you need to boil water, ask for help from adults. There are a lot of auntie uncle at work in the office next door. You can ask for help when your mother is not around." Li Haitang did not reprimand them and continued to teach them patiently.
"Mom, I didn't want to disturb aunt uncle's work, so I brought my sister to fetch the water myself." An' an had a small face and stood as straight as before.
"Don't do this next time. It's dangerous, okay?" Li Haitang's mood had finally calmed down. He held his hands and looked around. He asked with concern, "Only this hand was scalded. Isn't it scalded anywhere else?"
"No." An' an shook his head.
"Okay, then apply some scald medicine later and rest in mom's office. Don't get any water on your wound these days." Li Haitang kissed him on the cheek and asked the cleaning staff to clean the floor. She made her daughter a cup of oatmeal and took the two children back to the office.
When she brought in another cup of oatmeal for her son, Duoduo pointed to her brother's hand and reported, "Mom, my brother's hand is wrinkled."
"This is a burn. Fortunately, the temperature of the water you just received is only sixty or seventy degrees celsius. If it is any higher, your hands will blister. This time, I was startled and ate a cup to improve my intelligence. Next time, I must stay away from water, hot soup and hot oil. Remember?"
"Remember." Brother and sister suffered a loss today and both nodded seriously.
"Mom, can't I make a snowman today?" An' an still remembered to go home and build a family of snowmen.
Li Haitang thought about it and decided, "No more stacks today. Wait until your hands are ready. This thick snow won't melt so easily. When it gets thicker, your hands will be completely healed. We'll pile it together again."
"Okay." An' an was feeling a little down.
"Mom, we have martial arts class tomorrow. My brother's hand is scalded. Can he still practice?" Duoduo asked again.
"Take a day off tomorrow. Let's ask the coach for a leave of absence."
An' an shook his head decisively, "Mom, no leave. My hands are not serious. I can practice martial arts. Last time, brother huaijin's hand was scratched and bleeding. I didn't ask for leave. I didn't bleed, and I didn't burn very badly. It was just a little red. It didn't hurt at all. I didn't ask for leave either."
Li Haitang was very pleased that his son was so strong, so he had to agree, "Okay, let's continue tomorrow. When you fight, try to pull back a little bit. Don't pull the skin off the back of your hands."
"Okay."
After the oats had cooled down a little, Li Haitang took a spoon and gave it to the brothers and sisters, sitting on the side and watching them eat.
Every child was brought up by bumping and bumping. This little injury was not a big one for An' an. One day later, he left it behind and begged Li Haitang to make a snowman for him the next day.
After dinner, the snow began to fall again in the sky. The three of them were dressed in thick down jackets, armed with shovels and other tools to shovel snow and roll snowballs in front of the house, piled with snowmen designed by the two children.
"Mom, this snowman is not as tall as you. He's a little bigger." Duoduo was not satisfied with the snowman in the middle.
"Duoduo, it's almost done. If it's too big, mom's not strong enough to move. When dad comes back, we'll make a bigger one, okay?" Li Haitang was so tired that she was panting. She could not figure out how the two children were so physically strong. After more than an hour of tossing and turning, she did not feel tired. Instead, her limbs were exhausted.
An' an understood her mother and helped her, "Duoduo, that's enough. It's much bigger than brother can's. The snowball is so big and heavy that mom can't move it. The three of us can't move it together."
He said brother can's house was not far from the neighbor's house. Many children in this neighborhood were making snowmen at home today, and in the afternoon they chased each other for snowball fights. The twins also went to play for a while.
"Well, daddy is strong. When daddy comes back, make the biggest pile." Duoduo only wanted the biggest one.
Li Haitang looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late. He hurried them, "Go and put away the carrots and scarves you prepared. Mom will take pictures of you later."
The children were too slow to dress up as snowmen, and they were not satisfied with the trouble on both sides, especially An' an, the painter of the soul, who was more and more difficult to see, but he thought he was very beautiful, so Li Haitang had to play with them carefully.
When the work was done, it was already past nine in the evening. He took the two children to a quick hot bath to get rid of the cold before taking them to bed.
The next morning, when he went to work at the company, he turned on his computer and received an email from Jiang Chuheng. He confirmed the time of his return and booked the flight. He came back seven days later.
An' an and Duoduo were the happiest when they got the accurate news, cheering and jumping around the house, and calling the other elders excitedly to report the good news.
