"Where are the children?"
"They haven't woken up yet. They've been looking for their mom these past few days, crying day and night." Speaking of this, Yan Rushan couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't I realize how clingy they were before?"
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him and said unhappily, "How old are they? How sensible do you think they are?"
"It's not that they're sensible, it's that they're too clingy and have a bad temper. They can't be coaxed, and they won't stop crying even when their voices are hoarse. These past few days, they only fall asleep when they're tired of crying. If it weren't for this, human traffickers wouldn't target them."
"I'll go see them."
Yuxiu stood up and walked towards the room of Wang Daya and the other person. Yan Rushan glanced at the old man and followed her.
The doors of Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi's rooms were wide open, and the children's cribs were next to the window; Zhong Yuxiu walked into the room, and Yan Rushan followed closely behind, and the two of them arrived at the cribs one after the other.
The three children slept side by side. Their little faces were thinner and rosier, making them look especially cute.
Bending down and caressing their little faces, Zhong Yuxiu felt so distressed, "Did they eat well? Did you make milk powder for them?"
"They are served delicious food and drinks, so there is no problem eating and drinking. When it is time to eat, they eat, and then continue crying." Yan Rushan was speechless. "When they are hungry, they ask us to get them food, and then they cry again after eating. When they are tired of crying, they sleep."
Is there any point in crying like this?
Yan Rushan could never understand what was the point of their mother crying until she was sweating and her eyes were swollen when she couldn't make it back. From this point of view, he felt that these three little guys didn't care about him. He had known the current situation since he was a child. Although he was a little cold-tempered, he could weigh the pros and cons.
Look at those three little brats, they're always doing stupid things.
He probably doesn't know that he was not much different when he was a child; it was only when he started to remember things that he changed.
"Their eyes are all swollen." Zhong Yuxiu caressed their red and swollen eyes with concern and said, "Go get some cold water to apply to them, otherwise they will be unable to open their eyes when they wake up and feel uncomfortable."
One look at their eyes and you can tell how much they have cried these days.
"Will the cold water stimulate them and wake them up?" Yan Rushan asked.
"I have to apply it even when I wake up, otherwise I'll lose my eyes." It's so heartbreaking. If she had known this would happen... she would still make this choice.
Yan Rushan nodded helplessly, turned around and walked out of the room and went to the kitchen; Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi saw him coming and asked curiously.
"Comrade Yan, what brought you here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's okay. I'll get some cold water for the children's eyes." He paused and said, "What's there to eat? Cakes, drinks, noodles are all fine."
Wang Daya said, "We have everything. We squeezed watermelon juice and made several kinds of cakes. We also have wontons and cold noodles. I'll bring some out for you and Old Yan."
"Douduaner, my wife is back. She just got home."
"Comrade Zhong is back?!"
Wang Daya exclaimed in surprise, Gong Zhaodi looked over, and even Feng Zheng, who was cutting meat, looked up at him.
Under the gazes of the three, Yan Rushan nodded, "Yes, I'm back. I just arrived. Bring some food to the living room and send some upstairs. Comrade Gu and Comrade Fang are back too."
"I understand. I'll serve it right away."
Wang Daya happily packed three portions of food and placed them on three trays; two of the portions were slightly smaller, and one was very large, which was prepared for Zhong Yuxiu.
After Yan Rushan got some cold water and went out, Wang Daya prepared the food and followed him out of the kitchen with the largest portion. She put the food on the coffee table in the living room, then went back to the kitchen and called Gong Zhaodi to take the remaining two portions upstairs.
Yan Rushan first brought the basin to the children's room, then went to the bathroom and fetched their own towels. Together, they wrung out the towels and applied cold compresses to the children. Zhong Yuxiu was more gentle, and Li Ji only frowned under her cold compress, but didn't wake up. Yan Rushan, on the other hand, was more direct and brusque, slapping a handkerchief on his youngest son's face and leaving him alone.
Li Zhen opened his eyes uncomfortably, and all he saw was darkness. He opened his mouth and sang without a word of fuss.
Yan Guofeng was startled and quickly ran to the door, "What's going on? Why are you crying again?"
The crying of children these days has made his nerves fragile. He feels distressed and panicked when he hears children crying.
"It's okay, Grandpa, don't worry; the children were woken up by the cold." As she said this, Zhong Yuxiu hurriedly picked up the towel that was covering her youngest son's eyes; as a result, when she looked to the side, she saw that the other two had also woken up.
They stared at her blankly, and Zhong Yuxiu also stared at them blankly.
After a while, the three little guys looked almost in pain, with their mouths puckered and whimpering.
"Mother!"
"Mom."
"Mom, mom."
Zhong Yuxiu felt distressed when the little ones cried. She thrust the towel in her hand at Yan Rushan without thinking. She picked them up one by one and placed them on the bed next to her, sitting side by side. She wrapped her arms around the children and coaxed them softly.
"Mom is here. How can you still cry when you see mom? Okay, mom is back. Stop crying. Look how swollen your eyes are." She stroked their eyes one by one. The children just hugged her neck and cried. The three little guys' arms were stacked on each other. No matter how uncomfortable it was, they were unwilling to let go.
"Mom, Mom."
"Mom, hiccup..."
"Mom, I'm not leaving."
It was heartbreaking to hear this. Zhong Yuxiu's eyes were red and she hugged her sons and tried to comfort them.
"Okay, Mom won't leave, she won't leave. Don't cry anymore, or I'll cry with you." If you don't raise children, you really don't know how much children touch people's hearts. When they are happy, their parents will be happy too; when they are sad, their parents will not be happy either.
Sometimes they say something that can move people and make them feel warm all over, and sometimes they say something that can make people laugh or cry, which is also a source of happiness.
"Stop crying. Look, I, your father, didn't cry, but you are crying so miserably." Yan Rushan's tone was full of disgust. He really loved and despised his three sons. After all, they were his sons, so how could he not love them? However, in his heart, his wife was much more important than them.
Yan Guofeng glared at his eldest grandson. "What are you talking about? How old are you and how old are they? How can you compare?"
"Why can't we compare? My mom was often not at home before, and I wasn't like them!"
"That's because you don't know. When you were their age, you were just as clingy. Your mom and dad would cry loudly every time they were about to leave. You are father and son, that's for sure. You are just the same."
Yan Rushan: ...My face hurts.
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at Yan Rushan and was quite surprised. However, when her sons were that age, they were indeed ignorant and clingy. They would stick to whoever was nice to them, and would subconsciously stay away from whoever was not nice to them.
