Chapter 145 You seem quite experienced
Before Lin Xu could react, Lin Yao had already pushed the suitcase into the yard and stuffed Erbao into Lin Xu's arms.
"No, I... we both don't know how to take care of a child. Why don't you send her to your parents?" Lin Xu held his little niece, looking confused.
Zhou Yan took the child and held him tightly. "Mom and Dad have been going out early and coming back late every day to pick mushrooms in the mountains. They don't have time, right? We can help take care of your sister for a few days. It's okay."
Lin Yao glanced at Zhou Yan and said, "I've brought all the daily necessities and clothes you'll need. If you have any questions, you can call me."
Then Lin Yao kissed her daughter's cheek and said, "Be good and play with your uncles. Mom will come to pick you up in a few days."
The little girl nodded ignorantly.
Lin Yao waved her hand and turned away.
Lin Xu was still confused: "My sister just threw the child to us like this??"
Zhou Yan held the little girl in his arms and smiled: "Yes. My sister hasn't had the chance to go out and play in the past two years because she has been taking care of the children. If she wants to relax, let her go. Can't the two of us take care of a child? Don't worry, I'm here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl who was smiling just now suddenly burst into tears.
"Mom—I want Mom—"
"What's going on?" Lin Xu looked at it nervously.
Zhou Yan held Erbao in his arms and coaxed him, saying helplessly, "Maybe he just realized that mommy is gone. Okay, Erbao, don't cry. Uncle will take you to see Dongdong, okay?"
Zhou Yan took the child to see Dongdong and asked Lin Xu to take the suitcase upstairs.
After all, Erbao is still a child, not even three years old, and he fell asleep when he was tired of crying.
Zhou Yan carried the child upstairs.
Lin Xu had already taken out the things in the suitcase and sorted them out, then put a small mat on the bed for her.
Zhou Yan put Erbao on the bed and covered him with a small blanket.
The little girl was sleeping soundly, hugging the little duck doll that had always been with her.
Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "This little girl has amazing lung capacity. She can cry so much."
Zhou Yan rubbed his head: "Of course a child will cry when she leaves her mother. We just need to accompany her well and make her feel safe."
Lin Xu looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously: "You seem to be quite experienced."
Zhou Yan coughed lightly and said, "What are you thinking about? My aunt has a younger brother who is younger than you. I used to play with him when I was a child."
"No wonder. You were quite caring when we first shared the apartment. So this is why."
Zhou Yan kissed Lin Xu on the cheek: "Nonsense, that's because that person is you. The first time I saw you, I wanted to take care of you. If it was someone else, I wouldn't bother to care."
Lin Xu was coaxed into smiling with his eyes curved.
"Okay, you stay home and take care of Erbao. I'll be back soon after I'm done with the B&B."
"I... I can't do it myself..." Lin Xu was a little scared when he looked at the little thing on the bed.
"She's tired of crying. She needs to sleep for a while. She won't wake up so soon. Call me if you can't handle it, baby."
After Zhou Yan gave Lin Xu some instructions, he went to work next door.
Lin Xu quietly got on the bed and lay on the other side. He searched on his mobile phone for how to take care of children while accompanying the little girl. He fell asleep unknowingly.
Zhou Yan came back once in the middle of the work. Seeing the two people, one big and one small, sleeping soundly, he smiled knowingly, took some photos and went back to work.
After sleeping for more than two hours, Lin Xu was awakened by the crying of Erbao.
"What's wrong, Erbao?" Lin Xu asked as he got up in a hurry.
"Mom——" Erbao cried for his mother.
Lin Xu scratched his head, picked up Erbao, and reasoned with her: "Mom is traveling and can't come back now. Erbao, be good, don't cry, your uncle is here, are you hungry? Your uncle can also make you some milk powder."
When the little girl heard the word "milk powder", she suddenly stopped crying and looked at Lin Xu eagerly.
Lin Xu was amused: "So you're hungry, don't worry, Erbao, uncle will make you some milk powder."
Lin Xu had just watched a parenting video and was quite confident in the basic task of making milk.
Before leaving, Zhou Yan had already boiled water in the thermos that Lin Yao brought, and the water temperature was now just right.
Lin Xu strictly followed the milk powder ratio left by her sister, prepared the milk powder, and handed the bottle to Erbao.
The second baby held the bottle and drank it quickly.
"Uncle..." Erbao called him in a baby voice.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xu asked in a low voice.
"Baby peed, needs to change...his diaper."
The little girl can speak a lot now, but her pronunciation is a little inaccurate, but Lin Xu understands it.
"Oh, okay, right away."
Lin Xu hurriedly looked for a diaper to change for her.
Lin Xu was a novice after all, and was busy sweating. After tidying up everything, he changed Erbao into a cute little outfit and took her to the yard to play.
Dongdong was quite familiar with Erbao's smell, and he protected her around her, fearing that she would fall.
Erbao staggered around the yard to pick up the ball, threw it out and asked Dongdong to pick it up again.
After all, they are children. If they sleep well, eat well, and have something to play with, they won’t make a fuss.
Lin Xu also joined in, and the two of them, one big, one small and a dog, were having a lot of fun playing in the yard.
Zhou Yan could hear the laughter of Lin Xu and Erbao from next door. Lin Xu's voice was clear and bright, while Erbao's voice was tender and cute.
Zhou Yan already had that heartwarming picture in his mind without even looking.
It seems he did the right thing this time.
It was Zhou Yan's idea for Lin Yao to suddenly go on a trip.
He talked to Lin Yao about Lin Xu's recent bad mood, and Lin Yao agreed decisively.
She was absolutely relieved that Zhou Yan and Lin Xu were taking care of her second baby, and she hadn't had any time to relax for a long time.
Lin Yao was also relieved that Zhou Yan was always concerned about Lin Xu's emotional changes.
Although the person my younger brother found is a man, he is more attentive than anyone else. He not only takes care of Lin Xu, but also takes care of their family.
They have long been recognized as family members.
Zhou Yan was worried that Lin Xu would have some psychological problems if he continued like this.
Children have not experienced any major events and are very sentimental. It is inevitable that they will find it difficult to let go when they face separation and death for the first time.
But life is a cycle, there is death and there is rebirth.
Letting Lin Xu have more contact with new life and feel the vitality of life will help him recover faster.
This idea is not very brilliant, but it is the most direct method Zhou Yan can think of.
Zhou Yan finished his work and took the ingredients home.
As soon as they entered the door, two people and a dog ran over.
Dongdong surrounded Zhou Yan and barked while sniffing the bag in his hand.
Erbao, wearing cute little clothes that were all dirty from playing all afternoon, looked up at his legs and called out, "Uncle."
Lin Xu stood in front of him, his face covered in sweat and mud, but he showed a smile that hadn't appeared in these days. He smiled and said to him, "You're back. What are you having for dinner tonight?"
