Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
To Bi Qiaoan's surprise, Shen Yanming really didn't come back at noon.
Because there was so much work piled up, everyone decided to work overtime at noon.
Shen Yanming had no prior knowledge of the situation and was unprepared. He didn't even dare to take out any food from his bag and could only go hungry.
Fearing his wife would worry, Shen Yanming wrote a note and slipped it through the transparent light curtain into the planting area.
Bi Qiaoan was stunned when she saw it.
I just made a promise with the two kids, am I about to be slapped in the face?
I'm feeling a bit irritable!
Forget it, a mother can't go back on her word, right? I'll just take the two kids to find their father.
Bi Qiaoan put An'an and Nuannuan into the walker, went to the guest room to release the goose, asked for help watching the children, and then went into the kitchen to start cooking.
Although it's possible to do things in space using consciousness, it's tiring, and it feels a bit difficult to do things that are too precise.
To maintain a consistent standard, Bi Qiaoan didn't dare put meat in the food. She simply prepared cumin potato slices, stir-fried mushrooms, and rice.
An'an and Nuannuan were learning to walk in the living room when they saw their mothers busy and became curious, so they stayed at the kitchen doorway.
Bi Qiaoan saw this but didn't say anything. Let the child do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't get hurt.
The two kids' mouths watered at the delicious smell. But their mother wouldn't let them eat these things, so they could only pout unhappily.
After Bi Qiaoan finished preparing the food and putting it into lunchboxes, the two children, still not seeing their father, became a little anxious and pointed to the door, asking their mother, "Dad?"
Bi Qiaoan squatted down and said to the two children, "Daddy is working, how about Mommy takes you to see him?"
When An'an and Nuan'nuan heard that they could go out to find their father, their eyes lit up. The tears that were welling up in their eyes were wiped away in an instant.
Bi Qiaoan found it amusing and patted the two little ones on the head, saying, "You two are such clever little devils, but Mommy will get jealous if you like Daddy so much. Be good and wait here, Mommy will pack my things and we can leave."
The two little ones nodded and waited quietly to the side.
Bi Qiaoan packed the baby's formula, bottles, and diapers into her backpack, then put several lunchboxes into her spatial storage. After changing into her outdoor clothes, she dressed the two babies in the Ultraman costumes from last time.
But figuring out how to get downstairs proved difficult. She definitely couldn't manage both the car and the child. But she wasn't comfortable dropping the car off first and then the child.
Although she could put An'an and Nuannuan into her space first, she didn't want to use her superpowers frequently in front of the two children.
Just as she was looking worried, Sister Wu Xia from upstairs came down.
"Young lady, what's wrong? Why are you so troubled?"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Sister Wu, where are you going?"
"The office building. My husband, Lao Luo, won't be home for lunch. I'll go and bring him some food."
Bi Qiaoan nodded. "Sister Wu, I'm having the same problem. My son, Xiao Shen, is the same. I want to bring him food, but I have two kids at home..."
Before Bi Qiaoan could finish speaking, Wu Xia kindly said, "That's alright, I'll bring it for you."
"No, no, it's because I want to take the two babies to find their father," Bi Qiaoan said somewhat awkwardly.
Wu Xia paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's great! But it's so cold outside, can the two little ones handle it?"
Bi Qiaoan smiled wryly, "There's nothing I can do. My baby insists on seeing his father, otherwise he cries and cries nonstop. I don't know why he's so close to his father, even though I'm the one taking care of them every day."
Wu Xia was amused by the aggrieved tone. "Oh dear, why are you jealous of your own husband? You're not happy that the child has a good relationship with his father? This shows that your husband Xiao Shen has put in a lot of effort, unlike those hands-off husbands who just call for their wives when the child cries."
Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan laughed, "That's true. My Yanming usually helps with cooking and washing diapers. Sister Wu, could you watch the two babies for me while I move the stroller downstairs?"
"I'll do it, you stay home."
"No way, it's already too much trouble for you to help look after the two kids, how can I let you do any more work?" Bi Qiaoan said, carrying the stroller downstairs.
After putting them downstairs, I quickly went upstairs to pick up my two babies.
However, when I got to the second floor, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to put the goose into my spatial storage.
Bi Qiaoan felt uneasy and quickened her pace.
When I got home, I looked around but couldn't find the goose anywhere.
Bi Qiaoan didn't hesitate, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and then picked up Nuannuan. Wu Xia didn't mince words either, and directly picked up An'an.
"You can go upstairs and get that lunchbox later."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Thank you so much for your help today."
"Oh, what are you saying? We're all neighbors, we should help each other out. It's just a pity that we came all the way to your house but didn't get to see the two babies," Wu Xia said with a smile.
Bi Qiaoan was a little embarrassed. "I was just worried that the two babies would get sunburned. Once we get to the office building, they can show their faces."
Although they were convinced that sunlight was harmless, they still had to be careful without confirmation from the research institute.
"I know, I know, it's all for the child's good, I understand."
The two put the two children in the stroller, and Bi Qiaoan quickly went upstairs to get Wu Xia's lunchbox.
Feeling guilty for delaying the delivery of food, Bi Qiaoan took two salted eggs from the kitchen and put them into Wu Xia's lunchbox pocket.
As they were getting ready to leave, Bi Qiaoan lowered her voice and called out, "Big Goose?"
"Quack?" The big goose poked its neck out from behind the sofa, as if asking, "Is nobody here?"
He crouched down, patted its head, and asked, "We're going out and won't be back for a while. Why don't you go back there first?"
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the little goose knew that the mistress was referring to the space. It nodded and had Bi Qiaoan take it back.
Going back downstairs, Bi Qiaoan didn't say much, just handed the bag to Wu Xia. Then she took out a mitten from the cart and put it on her head.
"Hey, this hat of yours is really nice. If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have gotten impetigo," Wu Xia exclaimed.
"This inspiration also came from a friend. I was able to avoid the mutated sunlight because I was in postpartum confinement."
"Yeah, I was just saying. We all got infected by accident; there's no way to prevent it beforehand."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the office building. At the bottom of the building, Bi Qiaoan waited while Wu Xia went upstairs to call Shen Yanming.
The man, who was starving and had just eaten two milk candies to stave off hunger, was stunned when he heard that his wife, son, and daughter had arrived.
It took Meng Wu several pushes before he realized what was happening.
Then they ran away in a flash.
His colleagues in the office all laughed as they watched him hurry away.
"Wife, what brings you here?" Shen Yanming asked excitedly as he helped Bi Qiaoan take off her backpack.
“Your little ones were crying and wanted to see you, so I brought them here to find their dad.”
