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...
The weight and depth of sadness are different at the age of six and nine.
But he was a little curious whether his uncle and aunt would die like his parents in the future.
Facing Shugen's clear and ignorant eyes, Hao Yuanchao felt his throat dry for a moment. When he wanted to nod and admit that they would die if he told others, but they would live for a long time before that, Jiang Shuyao spoke first.
"Shugen, your second uncle, I, you, your eldest brother, your younger brothers and sisters, the six of us together will live for a very, very long time." As for the issue of death, he understood it when he grew old enough.
Hearing this, Shugen grinned, his little eyes sparkling. "Then let's stay together, the six of us. We can live a very long time."
He died a horrible death and was buried in the ground.
However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had no diapers. He came to the hospital in a hurry and had no experience in raising children. He had never thought about bringing diapers. Was there any diaper in Jiang Shuyao's space?
Before Hao Yuanchao could figure out what was going on, this little ancestor 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 peed. 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 rocking her gently as the nurse said.
"Take off your pants first and 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 a crying baby. He could still train a bigger baby, but there was really nothing he could do with this ignorant baby who was just nursing.
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 normally supplied, 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 urine ring 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 it and wait for me to wash it?" Anyway, she decided to leave the diapers to Hao Yuanchao to wash 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 two little guys' butts and holding them with a clean, dry and slightly warm towel, Hao Yuanchao went back to his own space and washed his pants and urine ring by the stream. Then he went to 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 guys.
After the little butt feels comfortable, the baby stops making noises and closes his eyes to sleep, being 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 baby. 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 could no one except Hao Yuanchao enter her space, but only hers could enter Hao Yuanchao's space. 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.
After a good night's sleep, they both woke up late. When Jiang Shuyao woke up, it was bright outside and the rain had stopped. Hao Yuanchao and Shugen were not in the ward. They must have woken up early to go out to buy breakfast. The two babies were still sleeping soundly. They were probably full and their clothes were dry. They looked carefree in their sleep. The elder sister was sleeping with her limbs spread out like a pancake, and the younger brother had one hand clenched into a fist and rested on his chin, as if he was eating. They looked so adorable that I couldn't help but lower my head and kissed them.
