Xu Lin could not possibly take in this child. Even Xiang Qing, who was able to take care of herself, could not, let alone this newborn who needed to be fed every two hours.
Xu Lin has plenty of baby formula in her space; it's enough to feed dozens of children. The problem is, she doesn't want to raise them!
Wang Jing's move to cut off the enemy's supply lines was brilliant; I wonder where she is now.
Just as Xu Lin and Zhou Pin were staring blankly at the child, the child woke up and started puckering his mouth looking for food. Zhou Pin quickly picked up the baby bottle and kettle from the bedside to make formula.
Zhou Pin is usually a rather cold-blooded person. Although both of them experienced the apocalypse, Xu Lin still has the innate kindness of a woman, while Zhou Pin has absolutely no kindness.
However, he showed great patience and care for the child.
As Zhou Pin picked up his baby to breastfeed, his communicator rang. Xu Lin picked it up and saw that it was Sun Wei.
Sun Wei said on the phone that Wang Jing was dead.
The message came from Minister Sun. He has now resigned from the base, so he can no longer live in the dormitory and will temporarily move to Sun Wei's house.
On the way to move, I happened to see someone carrying a corpse towards the west district. I asked the onlookers and learned that it was the mistress of the private base manager who had cheated on me.
When I mentioned it to Sun Wei, Zhou Pin and Xu Lin came over, and I immediately thought of Wang Jing.
After leaving Xu Lin's house, Wang Jing was walking around the base carrying a basket when she was spotted by the people looking for her. They secretly followed her, hoping to catch the "adulterers" in one fell swoop.
Xu Lin seemed to know what they were thinking. She carried the basket directly to the reservoir at the base, and by the time they realized something was wrong, she and the basket had already sunk.
The temperature was low and the reservoir was already frozen, but many people had dug holes to get water, and Wang Jing chose the biggest one.
The temperature was low, and no one wanted to fish out the body. By the time they found the tools, all they pulled out was a corpse and an empty basket.
Having Wang Jing's body was enough to cover their tracks; no one cared about the child who fell into the water, since he wasn't their biological child.
"I have something I want to discuss with you," Zhou Pin said to Xu Lin while patting the baby's back to burp after hanging up the phone.
“You want to adopt this child,” Xu Lin said in a declarative tone.
"It's not exactly adoption, just temporary care. She's Zheng Ming's child." After the child finished burping, Zhou Pin put her back on the bed.
Yes, they can't abandon the child, but they can let the child go back to his father and grandparents.
Xu Lin agreed to Zhou Pin's suggestion, as there was really no other way.
Now that they had decided to adopt a child, and there were no outsiders around, Xu Lin didn't need to hide anything. She took out all the diapers and formula from her space and started using them. The two people who had never taken care of a child before were in a flurry of activity.
Although Zhou Pin is good at feeding and burping, he doesn't know where to put his hands when it comes to changing diapers. In the end, Xu Lin successfully changed the diaper by following the steps on the packaging.
The two wiped the sweat from their brows and gave each other wry smiles.
The only consolation is that the child is quite sensible and didn't cry when separated from his mother. He ate and slept, and slept and ate again, which made the couple wonder if the child was confused from sleep. There is no internet for them to search online.
With a new child in the family, it was impossible to keep it from Sun Wei and the others, so Zhou Pin called Sun Wei to tell him about the situation and also asked them to keep an eye on Zheng Ming's whereabouts.
“Raising children is not that simple. You should think it through. If you don’t understand something, you can ask my mom,” Sun Wei said.
