Shen Yanming turned on the tap and found that hot water was flowing out. He raised an eyebrow, wondering if the power had come back on.
Without going out to ask, she took off her dirty clothes and quickly scrubbed them under the shower.
I took a shower as quickly as possible, changed into clean clothes, and went back to my bedroom.
An'an and Nuannuan had stopped crying, but tears were still clinging to their eyelashes, and their little noses were twitching, making them look extremely aggrieved.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming had just opened his mouth when he noticed the two babies stretching out their arms, wanting him to hold them.
Shen Yanming quickly sat on the bed and put the two babies on his lap. An'an's warm little arms hugged Shen Yanming's waist, looking extremely affectionate.
"Your son and daughter miss you so much, they cry every day!"
Bi Qiaoan felt a pang of sadness, but she still said it: "The day after you left, the two kids realized that someone was missing from the house, and they stretched out their arms to go out and look for their dad."
I told them I was on a mission and wouldn't be back for a while, and they got upset. They didn't cry, but they were just listless.
But when she found out you still hadn't come home that evening, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried for over an hour.
I had to let the goose out and play with the two kids for a long time before they finally fell asleep.
In the following days, she cried every day, and as she cried, she started calling for her father.
Shen Yanming felt sorry for him, but as he listened, he started to smile.
"My good son, call me Daddy!" Shen Yanming said, squeezing An'an's little hand.
An'an seemed shy and buried her face in Shen Yanming's chest. Nuannuan, however, sobbed, "Daddy!"
Shen Yanming was delighted. He bent down and kissed Nuannuan's little face, praising, "Daddy's dear daughter, you're amazing!"
Upon hearing this, An'an protested and whispered, "Daddy~"
"Oh, my good son, you're so wonderful!" Shen Yanming didn't hold back and kissed An'an's little face as well.
Then he looked up at Bi Qiaoan and said, "Why does it feel like our son and daughter have become smarter?"
"Yeah, you know, when you were here they could still lie in bed, but as soon as you left, they couldn't wait to learn to walk. It's giving me a headache, I can't keep an eye on them anymore."
I found two baby walkers in the storage area, put them in, and only then did I have time to prepare the medicine powder and pills.
"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "It's not hard work, not as hard as yours."
Didn't she notice? Shen Yanming had been away for a week, and he had gotten darker and thinner, which showed that he had suffered a lot.
But she didn't ask. The two kids were clinging to their dad, so she decided to let them bond. She could deal with anything else after they fell asleep.
Seeing that his wife didn't press him for answers, Shen Yanming breathed a sigh of relief and started playing with the two children.
I don't know if it's just fatherly instinct, but the two little ones who were just listless were made to giggle by Shen Yanming in less than two minutes.
Bi Qiaoan didn't disturb them and got up to go to the kitchen to cook for the three of them.
I don't know why, but in just this week, both babies have started eating solid foods like crazy. Steamed eggs, rice cereal, and fruit puree—they eat a lot of them every day.
Bi Qiaoan took an apple from her spatial storage, washed it, cut it in half, and brought it back to the bedroom: "Give An'an and Nuannuan some fruit puree. Just scoop it out slowly with a spoon."
Shen Yanming nodded and took the spoon. Before he could even move, the two babies sat obediently waiting to be fed.
"Can we only eat apples?"
Shen Yanming tried it and scooped out a little apple puree to feed Nuannuan.
Bi Qiaoan said, "Bananas and strawberries are fine, but they ate them yesterday, so today it's apples. Don't give them mangoes yet; we'll test for allergies when they're older."
"Okay, I understand," Shen Yanming said with a smile, then scooped a spoonful and fed it to An'an.
The two babies didn't mind each other's drool at all; they just kept their mouths open, extremely happy.
Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan went back to the kitchen. She took out a bunch of vegetables to wash, and also took a fish, a plate of shrimp, and a chicken.
By using all the appliances in the kitchen and adding two stoves outside, a delicious and visually appealing meal can be prepared very quickly.
Shen Yanming sniffed, feeling extremely satisfied. He carried the two children to the living room and exclaimed, "Wife, this is life! You have no idea how hard it has been for me these past two days."
"So tell me, how did you spend this week?"
Shen Yanming fell silent, laughing but unable to say anything.
"Wait until tonight, and tell me what you can say."
"good!"
Bi Qiaoan went to hold the two babies, but An'an and Nuannuan didn't want to go with either of them.
Bi Qiao pretended to cry and said, "An'an and Nuannuan don't love Mommy anymore. Now that Daddy's here, they won't let Mommy hug them anymore. Waaah, Mommy's so sad!"
Shen Yanming looked at his wife's clumsy acting and wanted to laugh, but he held it in and said to the two children, "Think about it, who has been taking care of you two during this time? Mom feeds you, changes your diapers, and sleeps with you every day. It's been so hard for her!"
"Shouldn't you two give Mommy a kiss and a hug?"
An'an and Nuan Nuan seemed to understand, and stretched out their little arms for Bi Qiao'an to hug them.
Bi Qiaoan didn't argue with the two kids and smiled as she hugged An'an's little body.
An'an gave Bi Qiao'an a kiss, and although her face was covered in saliva, her mother was still quite happy.
Nuan Nuan wanted to come over too, but Bi Qiao An didn't have the strength of Shen Yan Ming, so she could only sit on the chair and let Shen Yan Ming put Nuan Nuan on his other leg.
The two children's attention was diverted, and they drooled over the food on the table, but they didn't actually ask for any.
“After Daddy finishes eating, he can feed An'an and Nuannuan soup,” Bi Qiaoan said.
The two children nodded, clearly understanding.
Shen Yanming was overjoyed and asked Bi Qiaoan, "What other changes have occurred between them?"
“I don’t want to drink milk anymore!” Bi Qiaoan said.
Shen Yanming froze. "You mean, weaning?"
"Yes, now I only drink milk powder." I guess I've been drinking too much spiritual spring water, and my brain is developing a bit too fast.
Shen Yanming was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, which made his facial expressions particularly interesting.
Sigh, having two smart babies makes any dad happy. But his perk is almost gone!
Bi Qiaoan knew what he was thinking at a glance, and coughed lightly: "Be serious, eat quickly!"
Shen Yanming chuckled. "Yes, I'll eat more tonight."
Bi Qiaoan always felt that there was something hidden in his words, but she didn't take it to heart.
"By the way, when did the electricity come back on at home?"
"The day after you left. Our building has solar panels, but they were damaged when the ice floes hit. The security guards just came to fix them a couple of days ago, but we can't use high-powered appliances."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Have you prepared a lot of medicine these past two days?"
"Yes, the hospital is running out of medicine, so we have no choice but to use traditional Chinese medicine as a substitute. Because the demand is so high, we can't be precise in our preparation, so we can only prepare some large batches of medicine to tide us over for now."
