A Guide to Raising Younglings During Natural Disasters

Natural disasters were incessant. Ning Xia had survived alone for six years and finally decided to return to her old home in Qianzhou to start anew. Unexpectedly, she rescued two skinny little ones...

Chapter 134: Dare to talk back

"What are you sitting here for? You've been sleeping for the whole afternoon. Xixi and I have been busy jumping around all day, waiting for you to bring a quilt." Mu Yuanqing said bluntly and dropped the wooden stick he was knitting with.

Ningxia stood up again in annoyance and turned around to move the quilt for her.

"I'll go give Xiaojie the last dose of medicine and boil new medicine tomorrow." Liu Ximu also stood up.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Xixi."

A smile spread across Liu Ximu's ordinary face, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

At night, Ningxia, who had slept all day, was obviously in good spirits. She started the class while the two little ones were still asleep.

"Sangbao?"

“Yeah~” Sangsang put down the little hand that was teasing Qingtian and turned to look at Ningxia.

Lin Yi, lying on the big bed, held his breath and listened quietly to the conversation on the iron bed next to him.

"Did you come in to see Brother Xiaojie today?"

"Hmm!" Sangsang became excited when she talked about this. She turned over and sat up. After leaving the quilt, she felt cold and shrank back again. "Brother Xiaojie has been crying all the time. Is he in pain, Xia Xia?"

Ningxia choked, "Yeah, it hurts, but it will be fine. Your Uncle Mu prepared some medicine for him!"

"The medicine tastes terrible. Brother Xiaojie is so pitiful."

Realizing that she wouldn't get to the point by the time dawn rolled around if she continued chatting like this, Ning Xia spoke directly, "Did you sleep with Brother Xiaojie?"

Sangsang nodded, "Yes! At first I just sat there, but Brother Xiaojie said it hurt, so I patted him. As soon as I stopped, Brother Xiaojie started crying, so I went straight to the bed! Then Brother Xiaojie stopped crying~"

"Do you remember what I taught you?"

Sangsang was puzzled, then frowned. "People who are sick need to rest well! I'll come and accompany Brother Xiaojie tomorrow!"

Lin Yi's face was full of black lines. He turned his head to look at Xiaojie who was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him. He was speechless.

"Wrong!" Ningxia realized that her voice was a little loud, and quickly lowered it. "Didn't I tell you that girls are different from boys? You have to protect yourself and not get too close to boys."

At this point, Ningxia felt something was wrong. Why did she feel like she had bound feet? She continued, "You're still young and don't know how to protect yourself, but! Didn't I tell you that there should be boundaries when you interact with others?"

"Remember! You can't hug or kiss any uncles or brothers. You can't sleep in the same bed with any uncles or brothers, not even on the sofa, unless Xia Xia is there.

I have to put on my clothes and play with people who are dressed properly. No one can take off my clothes except Xia Xia, not even my brother!"

"So when you went to bed today, did your brother Xiaojie get dressed?"

Sangsang is happy when talking about this, "Hehe, no! Brother Xiaojie's body is smooth and his butt is so round~"

Ningxia couldn't help but raise her hand and slapped her hard on the butt, "Who told you to sleep with a naked boy?"

Sangsang's eyes widened, his tone full of confusion, "Xia Xia! Why did you hit me?!"

"I'm still whipping you, wait, I'm going to find a branch now!" Ningxia was furious and stood up, pretending to look for a small cane.

Sangsang had never been dealt with by this thing before. It had always been used to scare her in the past, so today she had to set a precedent for it.

Lin Yi quietly opened his eyes and listened to the increasingly louder noises around him. From time to time, there were also a few sounds of Liu Qingtian joining in the fun and shouting. He felt a headache. He really shouldn't have believed Sister Xia Xia.

"Why are you hitting me? I didn't do anything wrong!" Sangsang was feeling unreasonable but still angry.

"You dare to talk back?"

"How could I talk back? I'm not sleeping with any stranger uncles or brothers! I'm sleeping with my uncle!"

"What?!" Ningxia turned around suddenly.

Lin Yi sat up in shock, then immediately lay back down, trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.

No one noticed that Xiaojie's eyelids fluttered a few times and his fair ears turned red.

"What husband! If you don't explain it to me clearly today, I'll beat your butt to pieces!" Ningxia could no longer hold back her voice and gradually lost her mind.

"It's the brain!" Sangsang said, not caring about the cold, she jumped out of the quilt and ran to the wardrobe, took out her precious doll cotton coat, took something out of the pocket, and ran back to the bed.

"Here! Look!"

Ningxia looked at it in the light of the candle and saw that it was a grass ring woven from dogtail grass. The ring body had turned completely yellow and looked like it would fall apart in the next second.

"You! What do you mean?!"

"A wedding ring! Daddy Bear gave Mama Bear a ring, and they became husband and wife! Daddy Bear called Mama Bear "Brain Woman," and Mama Bear called Daddy Bear "Brain Man."

But Mommy Bear won't let Daddy Bear call her "Boo Po" outside because she'll be shy! This is one from Brother Xiaojie! I gave him one too!

He is my brain husband! I am his brain wife! Why can’t we sleep together! Daddy Bear and Mommy Bear always sleep together! Why can’t we sleep together!

Sangsang spoke a lot with extremely clear logic, which made Ningxia confused.

Ningxia was out of breath, her eyes wide open, "You...you...what a mess!"

In the living room, Mu Yuanqing curled up in the quilt, laughing so hard that he wanted to die, and the quilt was shaking violently.

Liu Ximu on the other side reached out to Mu Yuanqing and gently lifted her quilt, lowering his voice, "That's enough, be careful not to get out of breath."

"Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter... These funny guys... Hahaha..."

Liu Ximu smiled helplessly, and the two of them sat face to face, each occupying one side of the sofa.

"Oh! He's your husband!" Ning Xia ignored the cold and stood up, pointing at Xiao Jie on the bed and yelling, "You spend all day reading those messy and useless books!!"

Sangsang felt she was right and Ningxia couldn't do anything to her. Unafraid of her, she shouted, "You made me see it! We're husband and wife! My brother told me that husband and wife should live together! And they should even kiss!!"

Lin Yi couldn't lie down anymore, so he suddenly turned over and sat up, "I didn't say that!"

"You have it, you have it!!"

Ningxia was incredulous: "You even kissed him?"

"Little Bear's dad is sick, and Little Bear's mom just needs to kiss him and he'll be fine! Why can't I kiss Brother Xiaojie? He's my brain..."

"Shut up!!!" Ning Xia turned to look at Lin Yi with a horrified expression, "What did you say to her?"

Lin Yi was frightened by Ning Xia who seemed to be about to change, "I...I..."

"You have it!! You said couples can kiss! Just like Aunt Qing and Uncle Mu!"

Sangsang quickly interrupted.

Mu Yuanqing's smile faltered. She looked up suddenly and met Liu Ximu's dark gaze. His eyes were frighteningly bright in the darkness. She shrunk back under the covers. "Children's words are innocent, children's words are innocent..."

Liu Ximu looked at the person who had retreated into hiding again, and he had to thank the little girl Sangsang, otherwise he didn't know when this layer of window paper would be broken.
