Meanwhile, Shen Qiaoyue was busy working in Xu Tiande's kitchen.

After finishing her work, it was already one or two o'clock. Li Xiaoxiao looked outside worriedly.

"Lu He and Xu Feiming haven't come back yet." They promised to cook for Yu Qingce, but they still haven't returned.

"No rush, it's only a little past two o'clock. We've already prepared all the ingredients, and they might already be on their way back. I heard Lu He say she wanted to order a cake, which is made to order and will take at least three hours. It should take about the same amount of time."

Shen Qiaoyue asked Lu He about his return time in the morning, and he said he would be back around this time.

"Mom, I want to sleep." Xiao Nian was tired from playing and wanted to sleep, so he came in and tugged at his mother's clothes.

Shen Qiaoyue looked down and touched Xiao Nian's face.

"Okay, Mom will take you home to sleep." Shen Qiaoyue finished her work and Xiao Nian was also sleepy, so she took the child home to sleep first. "Xiangxiang, why don't you go back to sleep with your sister for a while?"

He nodded blankly.

Thinking about it, I'm really sleepy; I got up too early this morning.

"Auntie, Xiangxiang can't walk anymore," Xiangxiang said to Shen Qiaoyue in a coquettish tone.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled helplessly and picked up Xiangxiang.

Xiao Nian followed me all the way home.

As soon as they left the courtyard, Xu Feiming brought Lu He back and drove the car straight in.

"Mom, Auntie is back," Xiao Nian said to Shen Qiaoyue, pointing to the car.

Seeing Lu He return and Xiao Nian about to walk back, Shen Qiaoyue quickly called out, "Go back to sleep quickly!"

Xiao Nian's original idea of ​​running back to find her aunt was instantly shattered; sleepiness defeated her excited heart.

Xiangxiang had already fallen asleep in Shen Qiaoyue's arms.

When Xiao Nian returned home, she saw her mother holding Xiangxiang and coaxing her to sleep in a second. She sat on the stool, also sleepy, but waiting for her mother to wash her feet.

Shen Qiaoyue brought over a basin of water, wiped Xiangxiang's feet while she was sleeping, put her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

"Xiao Nian, let Mom wash your feet." Shen Qiaoyue changed the water and quickly washed Xiao Nian's feet clean.

"Mommy, I want a hug, please comfort me so I can go to sleep." Xiao Nian reached out his hand, wanting his mother to hug him.

"Okay, Mommy will hug you, little one, and go to sleep sweetly~"

Upon seeing this, Shen Qiaoyue immediately picked up the child.

As Xiao Nian grew older, Shen Qiaoyue felt that the child was heavy when she held him.

Shen Qiaoyue felt sad. In another six months, she estimated that she wouldn't be able to carry two children.

When Xiao Nian was being held by her mother, she slept nestled in her mother's arms.

"Mom, it smells so good." In Xiao Nian's heart, her mother is the best and the one who makes her feel the safest.

Shen Qiaoyue gently patted Xiao Nian's back and comforted him, "Little Nian, go to sleep, Mommy is with you."

Now that Lu He and Xu Feiming are back, she shouldn't need to prepare anything in the kitchen. She can finally get some rest and put the kids to sleep.

It's so different when Xiao Nian is nestled in her mother's arms; her mother's scent makes her feel at ease, and she sleeps even better.

Shen Qiaoyue sang a little tune in Xiao Nian's ear.

After the child fell asleep, Shen Qiaoyue put the child to bed.

The two sisters have lived together for a long time, and their sleeping positions are similar.

Startled by her nightmare, Xiao Nian was gently comforted by Shen Qiaoyue, who said, "Mommy's here, be good~"

Hearing her mother's voice, Xiao Nian was not startled awake, but chose to continue sleeping.

Gently patting Xiao Nian's chest, Shen Qiaoyue's face was full of happiness as she stared at the sleeping child, growing more and more fond of him.

When Liu Xinlan came home from get off work, she saw that the door to Shen Qiaoyue's house was open, and she came in carrying a bag of fruit.

After hearing the sound, Shen Qiaoyue went out and closed the door to the room.

"Are you off work?" Shen Qiaoyue asked softly.

"Yes, I got off work a few hours early today. Is the child asleep?" Liu Xinlan asked.

"She's asleep, she just fell asleep." After replying, Shen Qiaoyue poured warm water for Liu Xinlan and said, "You've been working all day, why don't you take a rest? Aunt and Lu He are with Uncle Xu, so we shouldn't need to go over."

Liu Xinlan sat on the sofa.

Sigh!

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Shen Qiaoyue asked Liu Xinlan.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired!" Liu Xinlan hadn't had a proper rest for a long time since she returned to work. "The hospital transferred a patient from another military region. He's a mine clearance operator. His hands and legs were blown up. With the current medical conditions, there's no way to reattach them. Sometimes I think that the medical conditions on the other side of the wall are much better than here. For example, I recently heard that in Hong Kong, which is right across from Shenzhen, they can reattach severed hands and feet using medical equipment."

As a female doctor, Liu Xinlan always maintained a sense of concern for her patients.

Shen Qiaoyue could tell that Liu Xinlan was very responsible towards her patients.

"I suggested that the hospital director bring back some surgical cases from abroad to study, but I was met with opposition!"

Liu Xinlan felt helpless about this.

Shen Qiaoyue gently patted Liu Xinlan's hand and comforted her, "These days will pass."

Liu Xinlan sighed helplessly, pinching her brow as she said, "I hope so. I also hope that these days will pass quickly."

Jiang Jinyao was helped in by Lu Yang.

"Sister Xinlan, Qiaoyue." Jiang Jinyao's due date is coming soon, probably in about ten days.

"Why are you here, all pregnant?" Liu Xinlan and Shen Qiaoyue quickly stood up and came out of the courtyard to help her as she was about to come in and sit down.
