Yu Xiangnian brought her child back to Beijing, and her family also hired a nanny to take care of the child.
With two more children suddenly appearing, the house became several times more lively.
Yu Xiangnian was still on leave from school, and You Lin would go to Wen Qiuning or Du Yanting every day to borrow notes for her to study.
Every afternoon is Yu Xiangnian’s study time. There are many people in his family, so he doesn’t have to worry about who will take care of the children.
Needless to say, Lin Yunyi and Song Huaiqian took the children away whenever they had time to let Yu Xiangnian rest. Lin Ye and Xiaojie also rushed to take care of the children.
Except at night, when the two children need to be fed two or three times at night and Yu Xiangnian needs to get up to make milk powder, he doesn't have to work too hard at other times.
Yu Xiangnian calls home every week, but because it involves a lot of confidential information, the Yu family obeys and doesn't say much.
Where were Cheng Jingmo and the others? What were they doing? What had happened to them? Yu Xiangnian knew nothing. The only thing he knew was that they were safe for the time being.
Regarding the names of the two children, Yu Xiangnian stubbornly wanted to wait for Cheng Jingmo to come back and name them.
In fact, Song Huaiqian and the others understood that Yu Xiangnian was encouraging everyone and making everyone believe that Cheng Jingmo would definitely return safely.
But children always need a name. When you take care of children and play with them, you have to call them by their names, right?
When the children were more than two months old, Yu Xiangnian gave them nicknames. The eldest was named An An, hoping that Cheng Jingmo and his family would return safely. The second was named Ke Ke, a lovely daughter.
An An and Ke Ke have completely different personalities, one is quiet and the other is noisy.
I guess when he was still in the belly, it was Coco that entertained Cheng Jingmo every night.
Yu Xiangnian's milk supply has always been very low, and she has never had a milk engorgement. Her child has basically grown up on formula. When the child was more than 100 days old, her milk supply inexplicably dried up.
It took her several days to find out.
Coco is impatient and cries loudly. Every time when milk powder is prepared, she can't wait and cries loudly.
Therefore, usually other people would prepare the milk powder, while Yu Xiangnian would let Coco suck a few sips of milk first to coax her.
But during those days, Coco refused to suck milk.
At the beginning, she would cry after taking a few sips, cry for a few more times and then take another sip. Later, she simply turned her head to the side and refused to suck milk.
Yu Xiangnian didn't know the reason and thought Keke didn't want to drink milk, so she asked An An to suck. An An sucked patiently for a long time, but then started crying because of hunger. Yu Xiangnian then realized that she had no milk.
This is good, it saves the trouble of weaning!
In a flash, a semester has passed, and it is already late January of the next year, and it is the Spring Festival again.
Yu Xiangnian did not return to Nancheng, but took Xiaojie and two children to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.
She and Cheng Jingmo have been married for more than three years, and for four of those years, they have only spent one reunion year together, and they have been apart more often than together.
Firecrackers were set off in every household, and An An, for once, was calm. He lay on the sofa, happily shaking the small maracas in his hand and dancing with excitement.
Coco was so delicate that she curled up in Song Huaiqian's arms and refused to come out. Every time the firecrackers sounded, she would hum twice to tell Song Huaiqian that she was scared.
Seeing Song Huaiqian like that, my heart melted.
The two children couldn't hold on and fell asleep at a little after nine o'clock.
After Yu Xiangnian finished his New Year's Eve vigil, he returned to his room and prepared to go to bed. He found that An An had woken up at some point, but was not crying and was playing by herself.
Yu Xiangnian's heart softened. She picked up An An and kissed her several times, "How can you be so obedient! Just like your father!"
An An babbled a few words in response, and Yu Xiangnian had no idea what he was saying.
She carried An An to the window and pushed it open. A gust of cold air blew in her face, and An An shrank her neck.
It's snowing outside, and all I can see is white.
Is it cold where Cheng Jingmo is? Is he starving or freezing?
At this time, Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang leaned against the same tree trunk, and they both sighed at the same time.
The branches and leaves in the forest were too dense, and the moonlight filtered through the gaps between them, falling to the ground as only specks of moonlight.
This is the subtropics. Although the temperature is not low, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. It is still very cold at night and I can't sleep.
"Don't cut your hair, it's already the first day of the new year!" Cheng Jingmo whispered.
Yu Xiangyang was trimming his own hair while holding a small tuft of hair on his forehead with his left hand and a dagger in his right hand.
"I don't have an uncle," he said.
Cheng Jingmo said, "You didn't see what you did to your hair. It's like a dog chewing its head."
Yu Xiangyang said, "Didn't you look at your own hair? You can even tie it into a braid!"
They had been in the dense forest for more than four months, their hair had grown long, and their clothes and pants were worn to tatters.
They traveled through the dense forest every day. When they were tired, they slept on the ground. When they were hungry, they ate dry food and small animals. Apart from knowing how to use fire to cook food, use tools to send messages to headquarters, and draw maps, they lived almost like savages.
Yu Xiangyang said, "You said we've explored the terrain thoroughly, and even the animals in the forest know us, so why haven't we taken action yet?"
Whether to take action or when to take action are decisions made by superiors or even the central government. How can they make random guesses!
Cheng Jingmo said, "Don't bother yourself with the things above."
"Who am I to care about what's going on up there?!" Yu Xiangyang clicked his tongue. "I just saw you were going crazy, so I wanted to have a few words with you!"
"How do you know I'm going crazy?"
"Today I saw you talking to the squirrel!" said Yu Xiangyang.
"I told it that it was you who wanted to eat the pine cones, and I can scold you if I want."
Yu Xiangyang laughed, "What a coincidence! After you left, I told it that your name is Cheng Jingmo, and told it to curse you as much as it wants!"
Cheng Jingmo said, "So, you also talked to the squirrel."
Yu Xiangyang said, "What's a squirrel? I ran into a wild boar a few days ago and named it Cheng Jingmo!"
Cheng Jingmo said, "The squirrel was scolding the wild boar."
Speaking of wild boars, Cheng Jingmo thought of his little black pig again.
He didn't know that he had a son and a daughter. He always thought that Yu Xiangnian had given birth to two identical children.
Cheng Jingmo sighed, "I wonder how Nian Nian and the child are doing?"
"What can I do?!" Yu Xiangyang said nonchalantly, "Even if you stay in the forest as a savage for the rest of your life and never go back, my sister and the child will still be living well!"
Cheng Jingmo: “...” These truths are really heartbreaking!
He said unconvincedly, "It would be great if we could tell Nian Nian to give the child a haircut."
Yu Xiangyang laughed in anger, "I'm the third uncle, and I have the eldest and second uncles supporting me!"
The daily bickering between the two of them was a kind of relaxation in this dark forest.
At night, Yu Xiangnian had a dream.
The dream was about a sea of fire, with many people engulfed in it, struggling and screaming in pain.
She was extremely anxious in her dream and wanted to find water to put out the fire and save people, but there was nothing around except trees.
The crying of the child woke her up from her dream.
