After the lunch break,
Jia Zhen brought the three little kids to swim,
The village chief said that there was a mountain stream on the mountain,
The water was very clear, and the flow was not fast or deep,
It was suitable for children to learn how to swim,
Jia Zhen naturally would not miss it and asked the village chief to bring him to the mountain stream.
Hearing that Lin Jinyu was going to swim, Jia Min was quite worried,
What if something were to happen to him?
But..,
Seeing that Xia Lu was completely indifferent and did not look worried at all,
She felt that she was worrying for nothing. For a moment, Jia Min's mood was a little complicated.
Seeing that Jia Min was worried and embarrassed to bring it up, Xia Lu was happy,
Taking the initiative to say, "Aunt Min, are you worried about Jinyu and the rest, afraid that they will encounter some danger?" Xia Lu asked with a smile.
Jia Min was a little embarrassed, but she still answered very sincerely, "I am indeed a little worried."
"Aunt Min, how do you feel about Jinyu's health now?" Xia Lu asked.
"He's much better than before,
Although he can't compare to Lian 'er and Yao' er,
But he gets sick every two or three days,
He's much better,
This is also because you took good care of him. Your Lin family's son-in-law and I are very grateful that Jinyu is alive and kicking now, "Jia Min said sincerely. Even though she did not have a deep relationship with Jinyu's biological parents because she left him in Ningguo Province, she was still grateful.
"In that case, Aunt Min, you don't have to worry. Aunt Min, think about it. Didn't you take too much care of Jinyu in the past?" Xia Lu asked.
"What do you mean? Shouldn't children be raised carefully?" Jia Min was interested and started to ask Xia Lu for advice on parenting.
"It's said that literati have no strength, while martial artists have simple minds and developed limbs. But in terms of body, Aunt Min, do you think that literati's body is stronger or that of martial artists'?" Xia Lu asked.
"Of course it's martial artists," Jia Min said with certainty.
"Then why are the martial artists physically stronger than the literati?" Xia Lu continued to guide him.
"Because martial artists practice martial arts diligently every day, while scholars only read and write in the house every day. Therefore, it's the same for children. If you want the child to be strong, you have to let the child move around more and run around. You don't have to keep the child confined and take care of them carefully, right?" Jia Min was able to give birth to a daughter like Lin Daiyu, so she was naturally very clear-headed. In the past, it was because she was used to it. When wealthy families met children with poor health, they would take care of them carefully. With this habit, naturally, when she saw that Lin Jinyu's health was poor, the first thing she thought of was to take care of her carefully.
"That's right. It's just like flowers and plants that are carefully taken care of by gardeners. They definitely can't withstand the wind and rain. However, flowers and plants in the wild can stubbornly produce. It's because they have withstood the test of wind and rain since they were young," Xia Lu said.
Jia Min nodded with a smile in her eyes. She looked at Xia Lu and said softly, "You really know how to raise children. You're so good at it." Jia Min expressed her approval.
Jia Zhen and the manservants followed the head of the manor to the mountain stream. Jia Yao and the other two children were carried by the manservants. It wasn't that Jia Zhen didn't want to carry them because they were too heavy. After all, he had been practicing martial arts all these years. It was very easy for him to carry one little child. However, there were three little children here. He only had two hands and could only carry two at most. When Xia Lu wasn't around, the three little children relied on the Jia Zhen the most. Therefore, he simply let the manservants carry them.
When they arrived at the mountain stream, the Jia Zhen looked at the surrounding scenery. There were mountains in the distance with bamboos on the mountains. The water in the mountain stream was very clear. The Jia Zhen wanted to bring his wife here, but if he did, the surrounding area would be cleared.
"Come here, take off your clothes. I'll put some fragrance on you." The Jia Zhen took out a porcelain jar from the manservant's bag and opened the lid, revealing the white paste inside. This was the sunscreen that Xia Lu had specially made for children. The ingredients used to make it were really completely natural. Naturally, after it was made, it couldn't be stored for long.
"Okay." Jia Yao, Jia Lian, and Lin Jinyu stood in a row and let the Jia Zhen take off their clothes. Then, he put the sunscreen on their exposed skin. They were very obedient because on the way here, the Jia Zhen had said that if they didn't cooperate and put on the fragrance, he would tell his sister-in-law when he went back. Moreover, he wouldn't bring them to swim tomorrow. Therefore, the three children were very obedient.
After the Jia Zhen finished putting on the sunscreen for the three children, Jia Yao smiled and said, "Big Brother, it's our turn to take off your clothes and put on the fragrance for you."
"Okay." Jia Lian and Lin Jinyu agreed.
The Jia Zhen raised his eyebrows. In order to match the height of the three little children, he directly sat on the ground and stretched his hands, allowing the three little children to start serving him.
The three little children seriously struggled with the buttons on the Jia Zhen's clothes. In the end, the Jia Zhen undid the buttons himself, revealing a smooth, white, and muscular chest.
The three little children dug out the sunscreen from the porcelain jar and then surrounded the Jia Zhen. They began to carefully apply the sunscreen from his face to his body. Although it was a little itchy, the Jia Zhen still had a look of enjoyment on his face. Sure enough, it was right to raise children to prevent old age. The three little brats were very filial. When the little tyrant in his swaddling clothes grew up, he would let him interact more with his three uncles. He had to change the tyrant's personality.
The three little children touched the sunscreen on the Jia Zhen's back. As they touched it, they became distracted. They dug out a lot of sunscreen and applied it on the Jia Zhen's back. Then, they used the sunscreen to write on the Jia Zhen's back. They were having a lot of fun. The Jia Zhen let them do as they pleased.
"Master, we have already checked. There are no snakes. We can go into the water now," the head servant reported.
"Okay." Jia Zhen stood up and led the way into the water. At this time, there were already two manservants guarding the place where the water fell. The water in this small bay was not flowing very fast, but anything was possible. If any of the three young masters lost their balance and were washed away, they would be able to catch them. They would not be thrown directly into the water.
When the Jia Zhen steadied himself in the water, he stretched out his hand to the three little children and said, "Come here."
The three little children looked at each other. They were curious, excited, and a little scared. However, curiosity and excitement prevailed in the end. They held each other's hands and walked towards the Jia Zhen.
The Jia Zhen picked up the three little children and put them into the water one by one. The Jia Zhen looked at the three little children's curious, excited, and scared faces. He felt proud. He would let them get familiar with the water first. Later, he would teach them how to swim officially.
The three little children stood in the water and were very excited. This water was completely different from the water they usually bathed in. The water on the surface was a little hot, but the water at the bottom was cold. The water was very clear, and they could even see small fish in the water. The three little children stood in the water and felt the different water. They were very excited. Even the last bit of fear disappeared.
When the Jia Zhen saw that the fear on the three little children's faces disappeared, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's officially start learning how to swim. One by one, Yao 'er is the oldest. Yao' er, go first," the Jia Zhen said.
When Jia Yao heard the Jia Zhen calling him, he suddenly became nervous. However, he still bravely walked towards the Jia Zhen. Jia Lian and Lin Jinyu stepped aside and watched how Jia Yao learned how to swim.
The Jia Zhen held Jia Yao's arm and asked him to relax his body and not use his legs. He slowly swung Jia Yao twice, and then let Jia Yao's legs go up and down in the water. When he saw that Jia Yao was familiar with the water, he let go and let Jia Yao swim alone in the water. He calculated the time. When he felt that Jia Yao couldn't stand it anymore, he picked him up and let him rest for a while. Then, he threw Jia Yao into the water again and let him swim. Although the method was a little cruel, Jia Yao's learning speed was very fast. He found the method on his own within the second time that Jia Zhen threw him into the water.
Jia Yao, who couldn't control his tears, suddenly found that he could swim. He was also shocked. He let go of the Jia Zhen's hand and slowly swam in the water. He, who was about to cry, suddenly changed his expression and a very bright smile appeared on his face. "Brother, brother, I know how to swim!" Jia Yao shouted excitedly.
"Not bad. You can play by yourself. I'll teach Lian 'er." The Jia Zhen was satisfied.
Jia Lian, who was watching the Jia Zhen teach Jia Yao how to swim roughly, was really frightened. However, when he saw that Jia Yao could swim by himself, he was envious. Therefore, he suppressed the fear in his heart and allowed the Jia Zhen to teach him. His methods were as rough as usual, but he learned faster than Jia Yao. When Jia Zhen threw him directly into the water for the first time, he mastered the method and went swimming with Jia Yao.
Finally, it was Lin Jinyu's turn. Compared to Jia Lian and Jia Yao, Jia Zhen's methods for Lin Jinyu were much gentler. After all, the child was still young and his body was not as strong as Jia Lian and Jia Yao's. However, after teaching Lin Jinyu for a while, Jia Zhen realized that the gentler methods might not be enough for Lin Jinyu to learn how to swim. He was obviously an extremely smart child, but he was a little clumsy when it came to learning. Jia Zhen thought about Jia Yao and Jia Lian's speed and began to use the old method to teach them. As expected, this time, their speed was much faster. Jia Zhen sighed. People could always explode with the strongest will to survive in the face of adversity. Look, all three children had learned how to swim. Jia Zhen's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The village head at the side didn't think much of it. The children in the countryside all learned how to swim this way. However, the manservant who followed and protected Jia Yao and the others shook his head continuously. He thought to himself, If Madam knew, she would be heartbroken.
