I once saw a video online of a Gen Z parenting style. When the child cries, you cry louder than them, so the child knows that crying is useless and will stop crying.

Xu Yan watched the video, but he was definitely not imitating it.

She simply couldn't help herself.

I feel so sorry for my two kids.

When she was little, she didn't have her parents around. Later, she lived with her grandparents and would subconsciously do some chores within her ability.

Many people would pat her head and praise her for being sensible.

Only she herself knew that sometimes she didn't want to be so sensible, but she was afraid that if she wasn't sensible, her grandparents would abandon her.

When Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong came last time, she would think of those things from later generations while listening to Chen Lihua's praise.

Chen Lihua said that Da Bao and Xiao Bao are sensible and well-behaved, unlike her brother Xu Shu's daughter, who is extremely naughty.

But no one knows whether the two little brats are afraid that their ignorance will annoy their third uncle, third aunt, and the two grandparents they are meeting for the first time when they do these things.

Just thinking about these things, and seeing her two little ones with red, tear-stained faces, Xu Yan couldn't hold back her tears.

Xiao Bao initially felt that his third uncle was not keeping his word. He had clearly promised not to send them away, but now he was going to his mother to send him away. Thinking about it, Xiao Bao felt wronged and scared.

But to his surprise, before he could even cry much, his brother started crying too.

However, it's understandable that Da Bao cried, since he might also be taken away.

But, Third Aunt...

Da Bao and Xiao Bao, their faces still streaked with tears, looked helplessly at Xu Yan, who was crying uncontrollably.

"Third Aunt," Da Bao hurriedly climbed out of bed, grabbed his clean handkerchief and handed it to Xu Yan, "Don't cry."

"Third Aunt, have some candy," Xiao Bao quickly rummaged through his pocket and pulled out two candies, stuffing them into Xu Yan's hand. "Eat candy and you won't cry."

After Xu Yan took the handkerchiefs and candy from them, she cried even louder.

The two kids: "..."

After that incident, no matter what happened, Da Bao and Xiao Bao rarely cried again. It was probably because of their aunt's incident that they were left with a very deep impression.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

When Xu Yan finally stopped crying, Da Bao and Xiao Bao took turns telling her stories to cheer her up.

The two kids made up several wildly imaginative stories, but in the end, they not only failed to make Xu Yan happy, but also made themselves fall asleep.

Xu Yan covered them both with blankets, watched them for a long time, and then got up to pull the light cord.

I had several bizarre dreams all night. When I woke up, it was already broad daylight. Da Bao and Xiao Bao were still asleep because the kang (a heated brick bed) was heated, so they didn't sleep together anymore.

Xu Yan helped them pull the blankets up a bit before getting dressed and getting off the kang (heated brick bed).

The weather was pretty good today; it was sunny and there was no wind.

Xu Yan first mixed hot water from the thermos with cold water to wash up before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast: rice and pumpkin porridge, steamed sweet potato chips, and a dish of pickled vegetables that Xie Zhuo had made in his spare time.

When Xie Zhuo was around, Xu Yan didn't find housework particularly difficult.

Especially seeing Xie Zhuo always finish things in no time, as if he did it casually, while Xu Yan had to set aside time to do them, and still couldn't finish.

Even when Xie Zhuo occasionally has to do some exercise that disturbs her sleep in the morning, he can still prepare breakfast on time.

By the time it was her turn, an hour had passed, and she might not even have time to eat.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao don't rush them. When they're in a hurry to go to school, they can eat some cookies or peach shortbread. When they're not in school, they just wait.

They didn't have to go to school today. After washing up, the two of them ran over to talk to Xu Yan. When they saw that she finally smiled, they smiled too.

I don't know what he's laughing about.

Xu Yan wanted to tell them about what happened last night. She almost impulsively agreed to it yesterday, and no matter who came to take them, she would not send them away.

Now that I've calmed down, I don't know what to say anymore.

Xie Zhuo hasn't returned yet, and she doesn't know what's going on with his two sisters-in-law. If they really have some unspeakable difficulties, she can't very well stop them from taking the child away.

Xu Yan waited anxiously at home. Xie Zhuo hadn't spoken a word since boarding the train yesterday.

Sitting opposite him, Jing Keying was also silent, lost in thought, occasionally drifting off into a daze.

She was still young when she got together with Xie Fei. She spotted him at a glance among a group of officers, and then she would hang out in front of him every few days.

Xie Fei was very handsome, but he rarely smiled and always had a stern face. His subordinates were all afraid of him. Many girls in the art troupe would secretly look at him, but never dared to say a word to him.

Jing Keying, however, was not particularly afraid.

Not only are they not afraid, they also always like to get close to him.

Xie Fei's cold expression was intimidating, but she wasn't afraid.

After they got together, she discovered that Xie Fei was a man who liked to pretend. When he didn't know how to communicate with people, he would put on a cold face, which would make others think that he was impatient and would shut up.

His relationship with Xie Fei was passionate and intense, but their married life turned into chaos.

Her imagined marriage was completely different from her real marriage.

Xie Fei is excellent in every aspect.

But he's never home.

She was overjoyed when she found out she was pregnant, but the person who could share her joy had been away from home for half a month.

Xie Jingyi.
