"I understand, Mom. I know what I'm doing." Yun Qiao nodded and agreed, but he secretly made up his mind to find a chance to talk to his father and not let his mother bear all the pressure alone.
It was obvious that her aunt was not an easy person to deal with as she could make such a request.
It is said that the sister-in-law is equivalent to the second mother-in-law of the daughter-in-law. Judging from the way her sister-in-law behaves, her mother must have been troubled by this "mother-in-law" over the years.
After talking about this, the mother and daughter chatted for a while.
Feng Juan asked Yun Qiao how he felt about going to college and whether he had adapted to the school. Yun Qiao naturally only reported the good news and not the bad news. He said everything was fine and picked out some interesting things to tell Feng Juan.
Everything Yun Qiao said was funny, and as Feng Juan listened, her emotions gradually calmed down.
Yun Qiao saw that her mood had improved and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and he felt relieved.
After staying with her for a while, I felt that it was getting late, so I stood up and said, "Mom, it's getting late. You should go to bed early and stop thinking too much. I'll go check on the children. It's time for them to go to bed too."
Feng Juan nodded: "Okay, go ahead. I'm ready for bed too."
Yun Qiao hummed and said, "Then I'll leave."
After saying that, she walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
When they went downstairs, Yan Jingwan had already helped Qin Lang wash his hair.
In the living room, Qin Lang, with his half-dry hair and a wooden pistol in his hand, was playing a game of soldiers fighting bandits with Qin Shuo and He Yi. Yun Qiao could hear the three children making "biubiubiu" sounds from a long distance away, simulating the sound of bullets.
He Yan was obviously not interested in these.
Although she was not a very quiet girl, she was still a girl. She scoffed at this childish shooting game and was reading a picture book of Nezha Conquers the Dragon King in her hand.
Yan Jingwan used the washing machine to wash the coats that the children had taken off after they came back from playing. At this moment, she was carrying a basin of clothes to the balcony to dry.
Seeing this, Yun Qiao hurried to Yan Jingwan's side and held the side of the basin, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Yan Jingwan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."
"What are you thanking me for? This basin contains not only Shuo Shuo and Xiao Lang's clothes, but also my two children's clothes."
Having said that, the two smiled at each other.
Yan Jingwanyu: "Then let's go together."
Yun Qiao nodded, "Let's go."
It was still the end of the first lunar month, and the nights in Beijing were still very cold, and it would freeze outside, so the clothes were hung out to dry on the small indoor balcony on the western side of the first floor, connected to the kitchen.
After drying the clothes, Yan Jingwan shook her wet hands, first glanced at the wall clock, then turned her gaze to Qin Lang and Qin Shuo who were playing, and called out: "Qin Lang, Qin Shuo, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Qin Lang heard his mother's voice and reluctantly put down the wooden pistol in his hand, mumbling: "Mom, let's play for a while."
Yan Jingwan shook her head: "No, it's getting late. It's time to go to bed, otherwise you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Didn't you just tell me that you wanted to eat wontons from the Hongye Restaurant for breakfast tomorrow? How can your mother take you there if you can't get up?"
Qin Lang bit his lip, holding the small pistol in his hand, unwilling to let go.
Qin Shuo immediately put down the wooden pistol in his hand and walked towards Yan Jingwan, "Mom, I don't want to play anymore. Can I sleep with you today?"
Yan Jingwan smiled and nodded: "Sure. Let's go together tonight."
"Great!" Qin Shuo happily jumped into Yan Jingwan's arms, glanced at his brother triumphantly, and said deliberately: "Xiao Lang is not well behaved, Mom, we won't go with him."
Qin Lang hadn't thought of this before. When he heard his brother say this, he became anxious and immediately put down the pistol in his hand and ran towards Yan Jingwan: "Mom, mom, I don't want to play anymore. I want to sleep with you too."
Yan Jingwan looked at him with amusement, suppressing the upward curve of her lips, and said mischievously: "Then Xiaolang, are you still playing?"
"No more playing, Mom, I want to sleep with you." Qin Lang hugged Yan Jingwan's legs and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm good, I'm really good."
Yan Jingwan believed that he was really well behaved, and smiled as she carried the two brothers back to the room.
In the living room, He Yan closed the picture book in his hand, leaned in front of Yun Qiao and said, "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight too."
Seeing this, He Yi also raised his hand and said enthusiastically: "Mom, me too, me too."
Yun Qiao smiled and nodded: "Then let's go together. Let's go wash our faces and feet first."
"Let's go."
The two children happily followed Yun Qiao back to the room, and lined up to brush their teeth, wash their faces and feet. Finally, they returned to their own room, hugged their little pillows and came back to sleep with Yun Qiao.
Children are very curious and they always have a lot of questions. They chattered and asked Yun Qiao many questions. Yun Qiao answered them patiently. After the two children showed tired looks, he lay down and told them bedtime stories.
One story ended, and before the second was finished, the two children had already fallen asleep.
Looking at the two children's peaceful sleeping faces, Yun Qiao curled the corners of his mouth, leaned over and kissed the children on the cheek, then tucked in their quilts, lay down and hugged the two children to fall asleep together.
Yun Qiao was sleeping in a daze at night, and he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening.
She forced her eyelids open a little, her voice a little hoarse with sleepiness: "Is that Tingjun? You're back?"
