"dad……"
An'an pushed Yu Yin away, indicating she didn't want her mother anymore.
Lu Shurui picked up An'an and took her outside for a walk. Even from a distance, they could still hear her crying.
An'an picked up Pingping and gently kissed his little face.
"Little darling, you know not to eat dirty food. Look at your sister, she ate it even though it was dirty, and now she's suffering from it."
"Ah, ah, Mom."
Pingping chatted with her mother in Martian language.
This time, An'an stopped refusing to drink the formula. After being hungry all day, she drank all the formula her father made and even burped. It was hard to tell if it was a burp from being full or from crying.
It was bedtime again. Yu Yin carried Pingping to bed and reached out to hug An'an, but unfortunately, her daughter was still angry with her and turned her head away, giving her mother the back of her head.
Well, I'm still angry!
On one bed, the family of four, separated by the Chu River and Han border, Pingping is close to her mother, An'an is close to her father, and there's still room for one more person to lie in the middle.
For several days in a row, Yu Yin's breast milk completely dried up.
"Oh, this is great! I don't have to be a walking baby bottle anymore. I can eat whatever I want now, without having to watch what I eat. I'm so happy!"
"You've worked hard, honey."
"Hold on, that sounds like an insult. Let's get down to business. I'm planning to go to Ah Xiang's place and ask the old man to make me a bamboo bed so I can sleep peacefully. Otherwise, it's too crowded, and I'm too scared to turn over at night."
"Half of my body was outside, and I felt like I was hanging in mid-air."
The two reached an agreement: making the bed was urgent and needed to be done immediately.
"Then from now on, we'll sleep in one bed, and they can sleep in another bed."
"What, you have a problem with that?"
"No, it's great. These past few days, the four of us have been sleeping together and it feels wonderful, more like a family."
Lu Shurui went from feeling awkward and embarrassed at the beginning to enjoying it now, all within just a few days, showing her incredible adaptability!
As for An'an, even after three days, she still acts awkward around her mother, refusing to let her mother hold her, and sleeping close to her father at night.
To sleep comfortably, Yu Yin left a little early in the afternoon and went to the old man's place first.
Things went smoothly. The old man had a bed ready-made, 1.5 meters by 1.2 meters, which was just right.
The old man installed a guardrail, and someone took Yu Yin back in a cart so she could sleep that night.
They put the two children on the ground, and together they set up the bed, placing it next to their large bed.
There's a mosquito net too, all good. The two kids can sleep sideways, rolling around as much as they want without worrying about falling to the ground, thanks to the safety railing.
At night, I put the two sleeping children in their crib and put up the mosquito net. After a while, I could hear them snoring, but they didn't wake up.
“If you wet the bed at night, you can get up and change it for them. I’m relieved. To make it easier for you to get up and take care of your daughter and son, you can sleep outside.”
"Ah, um. Okay, I'm fine with anything."
Lu Shurui mentally told herself that they were a legally married couple, had a child, and it was normal for them to sleep in the same bed; there was no need to be nervous.
Yu Yin noticed that Lu Shurui was a little nervous, so she stopped teasing him and prepared to go to sleep. Many things don't need to be done or said deliberately; let them develop naturally, otherwise, everything will feel awkward.
As they say, time is the best teacher; leave things to the teacher.
Two weeks later, Ping An An stopped trying to lift her mother's clothes or touch her chest for no reason and completely forgot about it. She drank her formula with great relish.
An'an seemed to have forgotten about her quarrel with her mother and went back into her mother's arms.
Lu Shurui initially slept cautiously by the bedside, but eventually started sleeping with Yu Yin's arm around his chest.
Time truly is the best teacher!
