After a long time, Fatima still didn\'t come back, nor did Natalie. Che Chen sat on the bed alone with Bao Hong, singing and caressing him to sleep. Obviously, Chechen is not a qualified father. Under his appeasement, Bao Hong not only didn\'t fall asleep, but became more noisy. His cry was loud and clear, and the whole manor was awakened by him.

First came Pedro.

He was wearing pajamas and a nightcap. He looked sleepy and obviously woke up.

"What\'s the matter? Why are you crying so loudly?" Pedro asked when he opened the door.

Then he saw that Chechen was in a hurry, and that Natalie and Fatima were not in the room, so he immediately came in and held Bao Hong in his arms.

"You have to hold it like this," said Pedro, holding the baby\'s head with one hand and holding his back through the baby\'s crotch with the other.

Sure enough, with Pedro\'s appeasement, Bao Hong stopped crying.

Watching Bao Hong fall asleep safely in Pedro\'s arms, Cherchen Xinsheng sighed.

"I\'m really an unqualified father," Chechen sighed.

He is sighing that he and his children can\'t. Fatima has been taking care of Anna all the time, and he even has little time to accompany them.

Hearing this, Pedro gave Cherchen a white look.

"My dear nephew, why do you think so? If you say to take care of children, you are really not a good father. You are not even as good as me. You don\'t know that I and Fatima and Natalie were taking care of children when you went to Kiev. That\'s killing me. But I didn\'t even think that Natalie, a noble lady, never shouted bitterly and tired. She was like little Anna It\'s the same with your own flesh and blood. Well, let\'s go further. To get down to business, you didn\'t bring children, but what good conditions you created for little Anna! You see, she lived in such a big house since she was born, and so many people waited on her. You didn\'t get such good treatment when you were a child. I remember once I went back to my hometown to see your father. You were only over one year old at home Because I had no money, I only asked a clumsy country girl to help. Your mother took you in her arms and bathed you with the nanny. She was very busy. There was water all over her body and on the ground. You are a man. Women should have done such things as raising children. "

With that, Pedro looked around. He put down Bao Hong lightly and took out a bottle of wine from his pocket.

"And we men - make achievements and drink the best wine."

With that, Pedro took a drink at the mouth of the bottle.

While he was about to take a second sip, aunt valvara, who arrived at the news, grabbed the wine bottle in Pedro\'s hand.

"What to drink in front of the children!" aunt varvarra scolded.

Pedro wiped out the residual wine stains on the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "don\'t worry, this child is the child of the Cossack eagle. He is born to drink."

Cherchen explained to aunt VARVARA that he would not take children, so the cause and effect of letting little Baohong cry, aunt VARVARA let Cherchen and Pedro go out and comfort him to sleep tonight.

He took a last look at Bao Hong, who was sleeping, and Chechen and Pedro went out of the door. At this time, Pedro finally asked why Chechen was alone in the room.

"Don\'t ask, uncle. I don\'t want to say." Chechen\'s interest is waning.

Pedro\'s eyes turned, frustrated from his nephew. He didn\'t know that it must have something to do with Natalie.

"Did you quarrel with Natalie?" pursued Pedro.

Chechen didn\'t answer.

But for Pedro, Chechen\'s no answer is the answer.

Pedro looked around carefully. Seeing that the corridor was empty, Pedro lifted his belt and said: "Dear nephew, you are still too honest. During your absence, I attended a farmer\'s wedding. At the wedding, the farmer told me that he should treat his wife like a donkey, just as she is not obedient, so you should whip his back, teach her a lesson and let her know something."

With that, Pedro waved his arm and looked like a whip.

"Of course, Natalie is a noble lady. Of course, she can\'t be compared with the mud legged wife. But the truth is the same. You can\'t accommodate her too much. Let her know that you are the master of the family. Understand?"

"Of course, dear uncle."

A voice sounded behind Pedro.

Pedro\'s body stiffened because it was Natalie\'s voice.

He turned and saw Natalie and Fatima holding little Anna standing behind him. Fatima showed a helpless expression to Pedro.

"Uncle Pedro, I knew you were so powerful!" Natalie said with a fork in her hand.

"Natalie, i... I." Pedro was embarrassed. He was sweating, then suddenly shouted and ran away.

At this time, there are only Chechen\'s family standing in the corridor.

"Natalie, i... I..." looking at Natalie returning, Chechen was also a little embarrassed.

At this time, Fatima asked, "Cherchen, where\'s little Bao Hong?"

"Oh, it\'s inside. Aunt VARVARA is taking it." Chechen replied.

"Then Anna and I will go first."

With that, Fatima took the child into the room and left Cherchen and Natalie.

At first, neither of them spoke.

What Chechen fears most is the sudden silence of this atmosphere.

Because of his indecisive attitude towards women, Pedro was full of guilt and guilt for Natalie after he talked about how Natalie loved little Anna.

At that time, he didn\'t listen to what Pedro said. He just thought, "maybe Natalie loves children too much."

Finally, Natalie opened her mouth. She leaned against the wall and looked up at the ceiling.

"Chechen, maybe I\'ve gone a little too far. But you know, I love Anna as if she were my own daughter. I hope she\'s happy."

Natalie\'s words washed away all the discontent in Chechen\'s heart like a torrent. He hugged Natalie and pressed her head on his chest.

"I know, I know," he said.

"I\'ve gone too far with this child. As Fatima said, the child is still young and may have unlimited achievements in the future. His father is Bao Hong, but he can become Pedro konasevic sahedachini (Cossack getman, one of the zaporoze Cossacks most loyal to the Republic of Poland). At that time, he may be worthy of Anna."

"Well, well," said Chechen.
