Gu Weizhou only has two hands; he simply can't hold three babies.
After he had put the three children to sleep, he finally had a moment to rest, drink some water, and tell them that Ruan Yunxi was staying at the guesthouse, that she wasn't feeling well, and that he would cook some porridge for her that evening.
The old woman nodded.
Sister-in-law Sheng said, "The children are asleep right now, I'll go check on the guesthouse."
Gu Weizhou nodded: "It would be good for you to go and keep her company."
......
At Ruan Yunxi's place, the guesthouse is almost empty right now.
When Sister Sheng came looking for someone, the staff didn't even need to ask; they just told her her room number.
Knock on the door. Ruan Yunxi was still awake. The window of her room faced the residential compound, so you could see a corner of her house.
Hearing the knock, she thought it was Gu Weizhou, but when she opened the door, she saw Sister-in-law Sheng. Ruan Yunxi forced a weak smile and said, "Why are you here? You've had a hard time these past two days. Why did the children cry even more when their father went home?"
"She was feeling wronged and kept looking for you, especially Little Soft Candy. She didn't want to drink formula and preferred to go hungry. She's quite stubborn. Fortunately, Soft Candy's dad went home, and she drank 60 ml and fell asleep. We can feed her a little more tonight to help her gradually accept the weaning process."
Pulling Ruan Yunxi, who wanted to go back to see her children, Sister-in-law Sheng said, "Don't go back now. Just endure it for another day or two. They'll get used to it. Just bear with it."
"I'm afraid the children will be too hungry to bear it," Ruan Yunxi said, feeling sorry for the children.
Sister-in-law Sheng patted her shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, you'll just lose a little weight. You'll recover after some rest. If you're not ruthless this time, you'll have to be ruthless next time. It's better to have a short pain than a long one."
Thinking about it, Ruan Yunxi could only sit in the guesthouse with a heart full of sorrow.
Seeing that it was getting late, Sister-in-law Sheng went home. She cooked dinner for her family, and after eating, she immediately went to Ruan Yunxi's house to lend a hand. By this time, the children had also woken up, so Gu Weizhou wouldn't be unable to take care of them all by himself.
Meanwhile, the old woman packed millet porridge and light dishes to visit Ruan Yunxi at the guesthouse.
When Ruan Yunxi saw the old woman, her eyes turned red.
The nanny said with heartache, "It's alright, just hang in there a little longer, a couple more days and it will be fine. They've started to accept that you're not home and can't breastfeed. The little one has a good appetite, he'll eat anything when he's hungry."
"The second child isn't that picky about food, he just misses you."
"Little Softie is hard to coax. She's the most spoiled child. Now, she only wants her dad to hold her, and no one else can take her away."
Hearing about the situation of the three children, Ruan Yunxi could only endure it.
Fortunately, Gu Weizhou comforted the three children, so they weren't too worried about him.
Gu Weizhou would only come to the family compound to see her at night, when the children were asleep: "Why are you eating so little tonight? There was quite a lot of porridge that Grandma brought back. You should eat more, lest the children haven't lost weight yet, but you've lost a lot of weight yourself."
Ruan Yunxi hugged Gu Weizhou, wiping her tears on his body. He smelled of the children, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath: "I miss them."
"Let's see if we can go back tomorrow." Gu Weizhou didn't want the mother and son to be separated either; it was a mother's worry and a child's longing.
"Okay!" Ruan Yunxi was afraid that the three children would wake up and cry because they couldn't find their father, so she hugged them tightly for a while before letting go: "Go back, I will take good care of myself."
"How about we let Sister-in-law Sheng come and keep you company?" Gu Weizhou was worried about leaving her alone.
Ruan Yunxi shook her head: "Sister-in-law Sheng is tired today, let her spend some time with her child."
Gu Weizhou thought about it and agreed.
Seeing that she was reluctant to let go after seeing him downstairs, he took him to the family compound. Ruan Yunxi was still reluctant to let go, and looked at him pitifully, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Gu Weizhou, feeling soft-hearted, took the person home.
The nanny was watching over the three little ones. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw Ruan Yunxi lifting the curtain and coming in. She was so startled that she immediately turned around to check if the three children were asleep.
Thank goodness they were asleep.
The old woman whispered, "Leave after a short while. Don't let them see you, otherwise all the suffering and tears you've shed these past two days will have been for nothing."
Ruan Yunxi nodded. She cautiously approached and looked at the three children whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, whose chubby cheeks had shrunk, and who looked pitiful even in their sleep. Her heart almost broke.
