Ruan Qingling sat down on the chair, Song Shiting put the baby in the cradle, and the other two were still outside.
One was being held by his mother-in-law, and the other by his sister-in-law.
As soon as Song Zidong lay down on the bed, he yelled "Damn it!"
Song Shiting could only gently pat his blanket with his hand.
Song Zidong immediately fell silent.
Song Shiting felt that this brat was making things difficult for him, but he had to maintain a good father-son relationship to prevent the brat from causing him trouble later.
These past two days at home, Song Shiting only wanted to make up for what he had lost throughout the year. Ruan Qingling looked at his burning gaze and secretly took a breath.
What is this man thinking?
"I'm telling you to stop, to pause... don't overthink it."
Song Shiting's lips curled up slightly as he said, "How could it be just wild thinking? I'm thinking about it very seriously."
His eyes were serious; he could speak of such things with such earnestness, so refined and ethereal.
Ruan Qingling glanced sideways at Song Shiting.
Song Shiting said, "Really, you've been so focused on the child lately that you almost forgot about me." If he hadn't been constantly squeezing in to help take care of the child, his wife probably would have forgotten he existed.
Ruan Qingling said, "Compared to you, the three children need my care and concern more."
Song Shiting said, "I need your care more than the other three!"
Ruan Qingling glanced at him and asked, "How can you, as a father, be jealous of your child? How can you be so shameless?"
Song Shiting asked her, "Why are you embarrassed? They stole my benefits. You are mine, and they will be their own partners when they grow up."
Ruan Qingling: "..."
How could you have such a shameless attitude!
Saying things like that.
Ruan Qingling said, "They've been exceptionally well-behaved."
After thinking for a moment, Song Shiting said, "How about we take a day off?"
Ruan Qingling looked at him: "What kind of crazy idea are you coming up with now? We have four children now, and my mother and your mother are already too busy to take care of them. If we are parents, how can we ask for leave? How can you say such a thing?"
Song Shiting said, "You already put in a lot of effort to carry them and give birth to them. The rest is up to them. We can't be with them every day."
Ruan Qingling asked, "How did you manage to say that in such a refined and elegant way?"
Song Shiting said with a deep look in his eyes, "I'm not wrong to say that. We also need our own private world."
Ruan Qingling began to educate him: "From the moment you became a father, the profession of fatherhood signifies a very heavy responsibility on your shoulders, which you cannot simply shirk as you wish."
Song Shiting said, "I didn't mean to break up, I just wanted to rest with you for a day and rediscover our own feelings."
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is harsh. There are four children. Before Ruan Qingling could say anything, Ya Ya ran in from outside.
This time, she directly clung to Song Shiting's coattails.
Song Shiting asked, "Ya Ya, what's wrong?"
Ya Ya looked up at Song Shiting with her grape-like eyes: "Daddy, I heard that Grandma and Grandpa are moving. They're moving next door to Grandpa and Grandma, so they'll be living together from now on, right?"
Song Shiting nodded and said, "Yes, it will be more convenient for you siblings to play when Grandpa and Grandma move to the next house. It will also be easier for Grandpa and Grandma, as well as Grandma and Grandpa on your maternal side, to take care of you."
Although the small courtyard house next door is compact, it is more than enough for a family of several people to live in.
Although it's not as big as the Ruan family, being small has its advantages.
After listening, Ya Ya thought for a moment and asked, "Where will we sleep from now on? Will we sleep with Grandma and Grandpa, or with Grandpa and Grandma?"
Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling.
Ruan Qingling smiled slightly and asked, "So, Ya Ya, what do you think? Where would you like to sleep? Or where would you like to sleep from Monday to Wednesday? Or from Thursday to Saturday?"
Ya Ya found it very novel; she had never encountered anything like this before. She said, "I want to sleep with my mom and dad. I haven't slept with them in a long time."
It has been a year since Song Shiting went on a business trip and then had the accident. Before that, Ya Ya had always been with Song Ji, so she really wanted to sleep with her parents.
Song Shiting resisted fiercely, saying, "Mom and Dad have to look after your younger siblings at night, so they don't have the energy to take care of you. Don't you sleep with your aunt? Don't you like your aunt?"
Ya Ya made a difficult choice and said, "Auntie is very nice. I don't dislike Auntie. I just want to sleep with Mom and Dad again."
Song Shiting coaxed her, saying, "You're growing up now, you're almost a young lady. You can sleep with your aunt or your other aunt."
"But then, I can't sleep with Mom and Dad anymore."
Ya Ya tilted her head and saw Song Shiting.
My dad doesn't want me anymore?
The little brain couldn't figure out why?
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
Ruan Qingling realized something was wrong and quickly said, "Dad didn't express it correctly. He meant to tell you that Yaya has grown up and is now a big sister. You also have two younger sisters and a younger brother. Big sister should set an example for her younger sisters and brother."
"Look at them, they're so young and they're already sleeping independently. You're the older sister, do you still want to squeeze in with me and Dad?"
Ya Ya thought it made sense and nodded, saying, "Okay, Ya Ya needs to learn to be independent. Ya Ya will sleep by herself, and Ya Ya won't sleep with Auntie anymore."
Ruan Qingling said, "You're still young, and winter is coming soon. If you don't sleep with your aunt, it will be very cold at night. What if you catch a cold?"
Ya Ya shook her head and said, "No, Ya Ya will take good care of herself. Ya Ya is a big sister now, and Ya Ya wants to set a good example for her younger brothers and sisters."
Seeing that Ya Ya readily accepted, Ruan Qingling felt both heartache and amusement. She patted Ya Ya's head and said, "Our Ya Ya is getting more and more well-behaved."
Ya Ya's gaze fell on Song Shiting's shoulder.
He quickly looked away.
When she was little, she often sat on her father's shoulders, but those days are gone forever.
Ruan Qingling noticed the expectation in Ya Ya's eyes and asked, "Ya Ya, hasn't it been a long time since you played with your dad?"
Ya Ya nodded.
Song Shiting picked her up and placed her on his lap.
Over a year later, Ya Ya has changed her previous habit and no longer picks Song Shiting's nose with her hands.
Ruan Qingling asked, "What has Ya Ya learned at kindergarten recently?"
The atmosphere changed instantly. Ya Ya said, "We learned poetry, the Three Character Classic, and the teacher even taught us to dance."
Ruan Qingling said, "How about Ya Ya performs a short piece?"
Ya Ya nodded.
"How about I memorize the Three Character Classic?"
Ruan Qingling said, "Great! It's been a long time since I've heard the Three Character Classic. Yaya, tell Daddy and Mommy the story."
