Seeing Yan Aiguo's anxious expression, Yan Xiaonan suddenly felt a sense of security, a sense of security that came from having family by her side. At that moment, Yan Xiaonan realized what was most important in the world: having family by her side was the most important thing at any time.
"Brother Aiguo, could you give my baby a bath?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
Yan Aiguo was momentarily petrified. Looking at his hands, he wondered if he would hurt such a small baby.
"Nan Nan, can I change jobs? I'm scared."
Yan Xiaonan was stunned. How could someone who wasn't afraid of gunfire be afraid of bathing a baby?
Yan Xiaonan shook her head and sighed. It seemed she still couldn't rest. She took out the prepared baby bathtub, filled it with warm water, and put her older brother into the tub first.
Yan Aiguo saw that he knew how to do this, so he picked up a pink bathtub, filled it with warm water, but when he saw his sister, he reached out his hands several times but didn't dare to hug her.
Yan Xiaonan smiled and said to Yan Aiguo, "Brother Aiguo, you help me take a bath, and I'll hold my little sister."
Yan Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over. Seeing the baby lying diagonally in the bathtub, he exclaimed sincerely, "Nannan, this bathtub is so well designed. The baby won't choke on the water while lying on it."
Yan Xiaonan nodded with a smile. How could something invented in the 21st century be bad?
I picked up my little sister and carefully placed her in the bathtub. She was a bit weaker than her brother, as you could tell from her cries.
"Nan Nan, is that your little sister? She looks weaker than her brother. Give her milk first when it's time for her to drink," Yan Aiguo reminded him.
Yan Xiaonan smiled again, looking at Yan Aiguo's cautious appearance, and said, "Then the task of bathing the two babies will be entrusted to you from now on."
Yan Aiguo suddenly felt a headache coming on. He watched as Yan Xiaonan picked up his younger sister, placed her on a large towel, gently dried her body with the towel, and carefully applied iodine and cotton swabs to her little belly button.
He followed suit and picked up his older brother, but he was really nervous. The way he held the child looked like he was holding a rare treasure, as if he was afraid of accidentally dropping and breaking him.
Yan Xiaonan ignored him. It was her first time being a mother, and she only had more theoretical knowledge than Yan Aiguo. As for practice, she would start now.
"Brother Aiguo, study hard now, and when you have a wife and children, you'll be able to do it all the time," Yan Xiaonan encouraged.
Yan Aiguo's face changed, and his breathing became noticeably heavier. The reason he was caught by the Japanese was because his partner had run into trouble, and his partner was also his future wife whom he had loved for several years.
If he could return to the Xia Kingdom, he would definitely avenge himself and the Xia Kingdom.
Yan Xiaonan had already sensed the change in Yan Aiguo's mindset, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yan Aiguo's arrest was a setup?
"Brother Aiguo, I have a question for you. If I don't receive a reply to the message I sent back, could it have been intercepted?"
Yan Aiguo was startled; Nan Nan had sent a message to Xia Guo.
"Nan Nan, how did you send it?"
"I sent pigeons twice. The first time I sent one pigeon, and the second time I sent five pigeons," Yan Xiaonan replied.
Upon hearing that it was a pigeon, Yan Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief; this was not the technology they used.
“Nan Nan, I do have a way to send messages back, but I’m worried that my messages will be intercepted and altered, causing Xia Kingdom to suffer significant losses. That’s why I dare not take any action. Also, there must be a problem somewhere in Xia Kingdom.”
Yan Xiaonan nodded. For Xia Kingdom to develop in all aspects, it not only needs an economic boom, but also military, science and technology, culture, productivity and so on. The vigorous development of these forces has already aroused the suspicion of certain forces, and they will try every means to undermine Xia Kingdom's development.
For example, he was kidnapped, Yan Aiguo was betrayed, and Ye Ren was almost assassinated. One wave after another, those forces were simply insane.
"So you'd rather sacrifice yourself than send any message back." Yan Xiaonan understood.
Yan Aiguo nodded, but now he had hope that a pigeon could complete its mission and deliver the message to his family.
Yan Xiaonan carried her younger sister into the nursery and started preparing formula for the babies. The younger sister drank 30 milliliters, and the older brother drank 40 milliliters. If it wasn't enough, she would add more.
Yan Aiguo followed Yan Xiaonan's example, holding the baby in his arms, tilting the bottle, and starting to feed the child. However, looking at the small bottle and the milk, he felt that he could finish it in one gulp.
"Nan Nan, this is too little. Will the baby go hungry? What if the baby doesn't grow tall?"
Yan Xiaonan suddenly exclaimed "Ah!", which startled Yan Aiguo, who almost dropped his brother.
"I forgot to weigh and measure my baby's height."
(⊙o⊙)…Yan Aiguo was dumbfounded. Such a young child needed to be weighed and measured. It's not like he's going to join the army and need a physical examination.
Yan Xiaonan stopped talking. She wanted to focus on feeding her younger sister. After feeding her, she would weigh the baby, but she would have to subtract 30 milliliters from the weight.
Yan Aiguo turned into a nagging old woman. He always remembered that women need to rest after giving birth. After Yan Xiaonan weighed the baby and measured its height, he urged her to go to sleep.
He kept thinking to himself, "Luckily, Nan Nan is a superhuman. If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably have collapsed long ago. She wouldn't have had so much energy."
The following days were chaotic yet blissful. Yan Aiguo felt a sense of bewilderment and tension. One moment his brother was crying, and he had to make milk for him. The next moment his sister was crying, but she didn't want milk. It took him a long time to find out that she had wet herself.
Sometimes, when I'm sleeping soundly at night, I'll suddenly hear a baby crying coming from Nan Nan's room. I'll quickly get up, only to find that everything is quiet all around.
At this time, he would go to check those two rooms. Yamamoto and the nanny had been locked up for a week. Every day, a bowl of rice, a vegetable, and a bottle of water would be placed on the small window, but no one ever came over.
The two were almost going crazy. Yamamoto was better and was able to calm down and think about the problem, but the nanny was not. She went from disdain to unease to hysteria.
No matter how she shouted or knocked on the doors and windows, no one answered. All that responded was silence. Slowly, the nanny began to feel afraid. She was terrified of the silence and the silent torment.
They both discovered that this place had no day or night, the toilet always had water, and there was warm water for showering, but the sound of the water flowing seemed to be sucked away by something.
This made them even less willing to go to the restroom. Unless they absolutely had to use the toilet, they wouldn't even open the door. Gradually, the two of them started to smell bad, just like Yan Aiguo when he was released from the detention center.
