When Bi Qiaoan woke up in the morning, she found her two children still asleep. She sighed and got up to wash up.
I checked the time; it was 7:30. It was still dark, so I let the goose out to watch the two babies while I went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
An'an and Nuannuan cried again last night when they didn't see Shen Yanming before going to bed. Nothing they did could soothe them; they just wanted their dad.
It was only after Bi Qiaoan found some old photos and videos of herself and Shen Yanming that she was able to coax the two children to sleep.
I wonder when her husband will be back. I should prepare more food. What if the two kids start fussing again tonight and I can't even cook? It's really disheartening to think about.
Bi Qiaoan steamed two bowls of egg custard and cooked a bowl of dumpling soup. She also steamed two baskets of buns and cooked a pot of millet porridge in the mobile villa in the space.
Once all the food was ready, she slipped into her spatial dimension. Riding her electric scooter to the storage area, she found a supermarket shopping cart and put the steamed egg custard, steamed buns, and millet porridge into the basket.
Then I found a lot of food in the storage area, such as small cakes, stews, and stir-fries, and put them into lunch boxes and into the cart.
Bi Qiaoan pushed the cart to the transparent light screen, leaving the basket containing the food in the storage area, and the cart handle in the planting area.
She wanted to try it out to see if this would both ensure the freshness of the food and allow her to access it using her consciousness.
Bi Qiaoan exited the space through the transparent light screen and then tested it with her consciousness.
Taking the produce is possible, but the cart must be moved completely to the planting area first.
Bi Qiaoan was already very happy about this. This way, waiting for lunch wouldn't be so troublesome.
But it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. She can just avoid the children when she enters the space. Anyway, she has already set the entry point near the transparent light curtain.
Bi Qiaoan left the space, drank the dumpling soup, and checked the time; it was already nine o'clock.
It was broad daylight, but Shen Yanming still hadn't sent back any news.
Seeing that the two babies were still sleeping, Bi Qiaoan hardened her heart and put them into her space.
However, this time they were sent to the storage area. If the two kids stay asleep, that's fine. But if they wake up, let's just assume they're dreaming.
After getting dressed and putting on her veil, Bi Qiaoan went to the office building.
When Guo Tingshuo saw her, he was quite surprised and asked, "Why are you here? Where's the child?"
"I'm sleeping at home. To make a long story short, I'm here to ask for leave for my husband, Lao Shen. He went out on business and I don't know when he'll be back." Bi Qiaoan didn't give a definitive answer.
"Yes, I know. Secretary Jiang came by this morning."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, so someone already helped me invite them. I'll go back now; I'm worried about leaving the kids at home."
"Go back quickly, everything's fine here!" Guo Tingshuo had already guessed when Secretary Jiang told him this. So he distributed the work that Shen Yanming had only done halfway to other colleagues.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bi Qiaoan hurried home. After letting the two children out, she noticed their eyelids twitch, then they opened them and looked at their mother with grins.
This made Bi Qiaoan feel uneasy; she didn't know if the two children had just woken up or had been asleep for a while. However, she didn't expose them. She simply picked them up, kissed them, dressed them, and got them out of bed.
After cleaning up, Bi Qiaoan made formula for the two babies. The two little ones drank the milk gulpingly, showing no signs of the fuss they had the night before.
Until noon, An'an and Nuannuan were very quiet. They played with the goose on the ground and didn't cause any trouble.
But when Bi Qiaoan was about to eat, the two kids protested. Pointing to the door, they shouted, "Daddy!"
Bi Qiaoan could only put down her chopsticks, hug her two children to her side, and say, "Daddy went out to work and I don't know when he will be back."
"try to find!"
"But Mommy doesn't know where to find Daddy either! Daddy went out on business and isn't in the same place as yesterday. When he comes back, An'an and Nuan'an will be able to see him, okay?"
The two little ones had tears in their eyes, looking so aggrieved. Bi Qiaoan sighed inwardly; without internet, it was so inconvenient.
"How about this, Mom will let you watch yesterday's video again?"
An An nodded warmly. Bi Qiao An took out her notebook and played photos and videos of Shen Yanming, giving herself a chance to eat something.
The two babies pointed at the man in the video and shouted, "Daddy!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded in agreement, then looked at Bi Qiaoan and asked, "Mom?"
"Yes!" Hmm, the version of myself in the video was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, quite different from how I am now. "That was my mother when she was little."
After watching the video, Bi Qiaoan took out the steamed egg custard and fed it to the two children. The two children were not sleepy after eating and were full of energy.
Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan began teaching the two children to speak. Perhaps it was because they had eaten the Fruit of Wisdom and drunk the Spirit Spring Water, but the two children progressed rapidly.
Knock, knock, knock, the door opened.
Bi Qiaoan put the two children on the carpet, got up and opened the door. She saw Wu Xia standing at the door with a guilty look on her face.
"Sister Xia, what's wrong? Please come in!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
Wu Xia waved her hand, looked at the two children, and asked, "Qiao An, are you still going to deliver food today? I'll go with you!"
Bi Qiaoan noticed that Wu Xia's hands were empty and said with a smile, "No need to deliver food today, my husband Lao Shen has something to do and has taken the day off."
Wu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll make it by noon tomorrow and call you when I come down."
"Sister, no need, I don't know when my husband will be back."
Wu Xia thought the other person was unhappy, so she quickly said, "Little sister, I didn't mean it. I really didn't expect you might need to go deliver food too. I was thinking that since you have two kids, Xiao Shen might have taken them over by himself..."
Bi Qiaoan immediately realized the misunderstanding and quickly explained, "No, no, it's just that Yanming really isn't here. Sister, if I need anything, I'll come upstairs and call you in advance, okay?"
“Okay, even if you can’t take care of the child, you can call me to help!” Wu Xia nodded emphatically, feeling a little less guilty.
"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"No, my little tiger is waiting for me to come back for dinner. Call me if you need anything, don't be shy," Wu Xia said, and went upstairs.
Bi Qiaoan shrugged, closed the door, and didn't take it to heart.
It turned out that when Wu Xia went to deliver lunch, her husband, Lao Luo, immediately started looking for salted eggs after taking the bag. Disappointed at not finding any, he still asked, unwilling to give up, "No eggs?"
"Eggs? Where are you going to find eggs? What's going on these days? Chickens aren't laying eggs anymore. Where am I supposed to find some for you?" Wu Xia asked, puzzled.
Luo Yuesheng was also surprised, "Didn't you send two yesterday?"
"No!"
The couple looked at each other, went over the matter again, and then said, "It must have been Xiao Shen's wife who put it there."
"Did you help anyone today?" Luo Yuesheng asked.
"No, I didn't take it seriously."
