Foster Parents in the 1960s

At the age of twenty-eight, Song Shuyao received her ex-boyfriend's inheritance from the army. After getting heavily drunk, she woke up to find herself transformed into 18-year-old Jiang Shuyao...

Chapter 74 Helping Others and Being Resented

The holy, beautiful, and brilliant light of the Goddess of Joy shines upon the earth~ 015.

It started to rain in the second half of the night, drizzling until almost dawn. During this time, Hao Yuanchao woke up once, awakened by the crying of little Niuniu. Because the people he cared about were around him, his sleep was very light. He woke up immediately when the little one cried. He was afraid of waking up Jiang Shuyao, so he quickly picked her up to comfort her. As a result, when he touched her, he found her butt was wet, and his face immediately looked a little weird.

Okay, Brother Hao’s kid is basically my own kid, so it’s no big deal to just change his diaper.

However, at this moment, I suddenly remembered that I didn't have diapers. I came to the hospital in a hurry and had no experience in raising children. I had never thought about bringing diapers. Are there diapers in Jiang Shuyao's space?

Before Hao Yuanchao could figure out what was going on, this little bastard woke up Jiang Shuyao and her brother. Only Shugen was still sleeping soundly.

"No diapers." They had never raised a child in their two lives, so how could they consider everything so comprehensively? Jiang's parents still had some reservations about raising four children. Adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind, they pretended not to know and didn't think much about it. Naturally, they also forgot to remind Jiang Shuyao and the others of some details and precautions in raising children.

Jiang Shuyao picked up the other little guy and found out that he had also urinated after checking him. However, he seemed to have a better temper than his sister. He cried for a few times and then behaved himself after being picked up and rocked. Unlike little Niuniu, Hao Yuanchao did not stop even after holding her and rocking her gently as the nurse said.

"Take off your pants first and then wash them. There's a dryer in the space. Wash and dry your pants and diapers before wearing them."

Hao Yuanchao naturally had no objection. He really had no idea what to do with the crying baby. He could still train the baby if it was older, but there was really nothing he could do about this ignorant baby.

To be safe, Jiang Shuyao pulled the curtain at Shugen's bed before entering the space. For some reason, the tap water and electricity in the space were supplied normally, so it was not difficult for Jiang Shuyao to get some warm water. She quickly filled half a plastic basin with water, found two soft new towels, washed them, dried them in the dryer, and took them out of the space for use.

Hao Yuanchao took off the kid's clumsy but skillful open-crotch pants, and a diaper made from old clothes fell out. There were some yellow spots on it, as if he had diarrhea.

"Let me wash this diaper." Hao Yuanchao hesitated. He had never tried such a challenge in his life.

Jiang Shuyao smiled slightly, nodded decisively, and asked, "Why don't you wash them and wait for me to wash them?" Anyway, she decided to let Hao Yuanchao wash all the diapers in the future.

Hao Yuanchao: ...Okay, on one side is the little kid he has to raise and on the other side is the wife he married with great difficulty, what else can he do.

After quickly washing the butts of the two little ones and holding them with a clean, dry and slightly warm towel, Hao Yuanchao went back to his own space and washed his pants and diapers by the stream, then went into Jiang Shuyao's space and dried them in the dryer. After making sure that they were very dry and had no moisture, he took them out and changed them for the two little ones.

After the little butt feels comfortable, the baby stops making noises and closes his eyes and goes to sleep obediently, as well-behaved as possible.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. If it rains tomorrow, you can be discharged later." After tossing and turning all night, Hao Yuanchao deeply realized how difficult it is to raise a child. When he came back to handle the funeral before, the aunties in the village helped to take care of the child. He hardly took care of the child at all and didn't know that raising a baby was so difficult.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he had a better understanding of Jiang's parents who had been trying to cancel the engagement before. If not... Hao Yuanchao secretly glanced at Jiang Shuyao. There was nothing he could do. He really couldn't bear to let her go. He could only be doubly nice to Jiang Shuyao in the future, and find a capable nanny to help. Although it was not popular to find a nanny these days, it was usually okay to use the excuse of relatives in the hometown, and no one would ask too many questions.

However, Jiang Shuyao did not want to find a nanny for the time being. On the one hand, her family was not used to the intervention of strangers. In her previous life, she only hired hourly workers and never hired a nanny. She could accept four children who were related to Hao Yuanchao and had no independent ability, but it was difficult for her to accept other strangers living in the house.

On the other hand, nannies are hard to find these days. If, as Hao Yuanchao suggested, they were to find one from her hometown, communication would be problematic. This wasn't a language barrier; she could understand and speak the Nanxi Village dialect, which was somewhat similar to a dialect she'd learned in a previous life. The real difficulty lies in personal habits, hygiene, and the values ​​that have stood between them for over half a century. She can integrate the memories of the original owner, but she's not a true native. For her, not being able to communicate freely with a nanny who spends every day with her is torture, emotionally tormenting. This is one of the reasons she chose to be with Hao Yuanchao. In this era, Hao Yuanchao is probably the person with whom she has the closest generation gap.

Therefore, Jiang Shuyao does not plan to find a nanny unless she feels that she cannot adapt to the busy schedule in the future. Another key point of this issue is that the nanny must be satisfactory. It may not be so difficult to find a satisfactory nanny in the 21st century or even earlier during the Republic of China period, but in the 1960s, this was basically impossible.

There was no excessive discussion on this issue. Jiang Shuyao and Hao Yuanchao fell asleep with their two babies to the sound of the drizzling rain. Before falling asleep, Jiang Shuyao vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, but it was not very important. Later, after conducting experiments, she would find that not only her space could not allow anyone other than Hao Yuanchao to enter, but Hao Yuanchao's space could only allow her to enter. In addition, living animals could not enter her space, nor could they enter Hao Yuanchao's space. However, Hao Yuanchao's space could raise living creatures that already existed in the space, and could also take them out for use.

More rules for the use of space will have to be explored in the future.
