"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. They're just siblings, it's normal for them to care about each other. Don't be suspicious."

Yuan Doudou was curious. He was exhausted after a long day, shouldn't he just lie down and sleep? Why was he still thinking about this and that? He really was a straight man.

"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it," An Rong reassured himself.

Yuan Doudou's mind was in turmoil. She lay in bed unable to sleep. An Rong was worried that something had happened to them. What was she afraid of? They were not related by blood, only nominally siblings. Even if they were together, there was nothing wrong with it.

However, they are indeed a bit young. Huang Rong is sixteen and Lu Xi is thirteen. Talking about feelings now is considered puppy love in their culture, which will affect their physical and mental development. If something really happens, she and An Rong will not be able to bear the consequences.

Huang Rong lost her father, but her mother might still be alive. If something that shouldn't happen to her happens here, Huang Rong will probably be very angry when she finds her mother someday.

Lu Xi is the same; he was abducted and trafficked. The chances of him finding his biological parents in this lifetime are very small, but not impossible. If they find Lu Xi one day and see him with Huang Rong, will they be dissatisfied with Huang Rong?

These things might not happen; it's best if they're just worrying unnecessarily.

Yuan Doudou suddenly felt helpless. She didn't care about Anji's affairs, and neither did Tangtang. As long as they were fed and clothed, that was enough. Instead, she had to worry about other people's children. Was she just asking for trouble? Fortunately, Anrong was very supportive and always supported her decisions. Whether it was taking in Lu Xi or helping Huang Rong, he never raised any objections. On the contrary, he actively stood in front of her and helped her solve some problems.

The moonlight, like water, poured down through the window.

Yuan Doudou turned to the side and carefully examined An Rong. Since giving birth to Tangtang, she hadn't looked at An Rong closely at night. He looked a little thinner, perhaps because he had too many daily chores that consumed his energy.

The heroic spirit in his eyes and brows is still there, making him a pleasing sight.

It was quiet all around, except for An Rong's breathing, deep and shallow, rhythmic and full of sound. She liked to hear such a mellow voice.

Yuan Doudou smiled, a faint fragrance dancing in the air, indescribable, giving her a sense of peace, like the scent of flowers drifting from afar.

It's March now, and all the flowers are just beginning to bloom. I bet the forsythia in the yard is in full bloom too.

She remembered yesterday at the window, where she only dared to push open a small pane to secretly look at the sky outside and breathe in the fresh air. She was wearing a headscarf, and only her face, which had no forehead, was visible.

A cool breeze was blowing on my face, making it feel cool.

The brief respite made her feel refreshed, and she didn't dare linger, quickly closing the window tightly, afraid of being discovered by An Rong.

She wasn't really afraid of what others would say about her; she was afraid of actually developing postpartum complications.

It wasn't that Sister Juan and her family were exaggerating; she had heard it before at home. Her mother would complain to her father from time to time, saying that when he made postpartum meals, he cut the meat into very large pieces and didn't cook it until it was tender, making it difficult to eat. Later, her mother's teeth got worse and worse, often getting food stuck in them, and her teeth became loose and she lost several. Just getting her teeth repaired cost her ten or twenty thousand yuan.

Having witnessed postpartum illnesses firsthand, she naturally felt more anxious, and those who had been through it advised her to avoid doing things that shouldn't be done.

Yuan Doudou's thoughts drifted further and further away until Tangtang in her arms woke up and looked for milk, bringing her back to reality.

"Tangtang, why are you hungry again?"

After giving birth, Yuan Doudou realized how easily babies get hungry. She had heard that babies have small stomachs and get full quickly, and then get hungry again soon. It seems that this is absolutely true.

Perhaps they were too tired, Tangtang fell asleep right after eating, and Yuan Doudou also fell asleep and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Yuan Doudou was awakened by Tangtang's crying; An Rong had already left.

She checked the diaper and found it was dry, so the little one must have woken up hungry; he really eats a lot.

Fortunately, she has plenty of breast milk. Her breasts are always full whenever Tangtang eats, which is lucky compared to some people who don't have enough breast milk.

"Mommy, why is my little sister hungry again?" Angie wondered how many meals a child eats in a day.

Yuan Doudou said with a smile, "My little sister is small, so she gets hungry quickly and eats more often."

Angie wanted to say that he also got hungry quickly and wanted to be able to eat whenever he was hungry, but he didn't dare to say it. He knew that he was the older brother and a big kid, and he couldn't say that he would eat whenever he was hungry. He could only eat at mealtimes.

"Mommy, I'm getting up to eat." Anji crawled out of bed, picked up his cotton-padded jacket, and put it on with some difficulty.

"Don't rush, let Mommy help you get dressed." Yuan Doudou was breastfeeding and couldn't get up to dress him.

Angie didn't say anything. He had already put one arm into his sleeve, and then started to put his other arm in, but he couldn't get it in for a long time.

"Lower your head a bit, let me pull it up for you from behind." The shoulders are bunched up, making it difficult to put on.

Anji obediently sat down so that his mother could reach his sleeve. Once his mother straightened the sleeve, he quickly put his arm inside.

Next came the buttoning. These frog buttons were very difficult to push in, especially the top ones, so he had to start by twisting the bottom buttons.

"Come here, let Mommy help you."

Anji sat facing his mother, leaning forward so that his mother could reach the buttons.

He looked down at his mother's hands, which skillfully fastened all the buttons. It had taken him a long time to fasten just one button, while his mother had fastened all the buttons in no time.

"Mom, you're amazing!" Angie exclaimed sincerely.

Yuan Doudou smiled with satisfaction. She wasn't actually that great, but being praised by the child gave her the illusion that she was indeed very capable.

This is probably why we should praise children more often instead of always belittling them; self-confidence is very important.

“Anji was great too. He put on his clothes by himself and even buttoned up a button.” Yuan Doudou also praised him sincerely.

Angie smiled shyly, but her heart was filled with joy.

"My mother helped me, but I can put on my clothes myself from now on. I know the secret to putting on clothes." It's that after putting on one sleeve, you need to pull up the other sleeve to open up the shoulder area, and then it will be easier to put on.

"Anji is a great student, Mommy gives you a thumbs up." Yuan Doudou gave a thumbs up.

Angie smiled even more broadly.

An Rong brought in the food and saw the mother and son praising each other, and a smile appeared on his face.

DouDou is like the sun in the sky, illuminating this home and bringing warmth to its family members.

She was like a new person, completely different from her former reserved personality.

If he had to choose, he would prefer DouDou as she is now.
