Yun Jin's phone call was full of emotional value.
The main reason is that there's one less person around, and it's really hard to get used to.
With He Tingchuan by her side, she could happily be a lazy person. She didn't have to wake the child, and he did all the washing and cleaning.
He Tingchuan is the one who holds and looks after the children.
And the person speaking.
Now it's all the same, she has to do everything. Little Niangao hasn't recovered from being separated from her father, so she's very clingy. He's mother and the others want to share the burden, but Little Niangao doesn't want anyone.
These past two days, Yun Jin has been doing nothing but taking care of the children, and she also went to pick up Li Aimei.
After letting her have a meal at the He family's house, taking her out for roast duck, and then sending her to school, watching her register, and making her bed, Yun Jin returned with Xiao Niangao.
It was only yesterday that Xiaoniangao found out that she was going to university and would be living on campus.
The little rice cake broke down immediately.
Just then, her father called, and Xiao Niangao cried and shouted, "Dad, come and pick me and Mom up. We don't want to stay at Grandma's house. We want to go back to our own home."
He Tingchuan: "???"
Honey, you smashed it?
It took He Tingchuan half an hour to finally calm the child down and stop her crying for him to pick her up. Yun Jin felt sorry for He Tingchuan's phone bill, so she kept it short and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your daughter and myself, and I will also take good care of Mom and Dad. You can focus on training at the base. Call me once a week, and write to me whenever you have time."
He Tingchuan nodded, then asked again, still unwilling to give up, "Are you sure you don't need me to go back and pick you up?"
"No need. Don't be like a little rice cake. She's a child, she doesn't understand. You don't understand either. I want to study, I want to go to school." After saying that, Yun Jin hung up the phone, as if she was happy to go.
No, we've already taken the exam.
It would be such a waste not to participate!
As for Xiao Niangao, Yun Jin promised Xiao Niangao, "Mom doesn't live at school. Mom will come home from school every day to be with you. You can stay with Grandma and wait for me at the bus stop when it gets dark."
Little Rice Cake shook her head: "Mommy, don't go to school."
Seeing Xiao Nian Gao already showing signs of separation anxiety at such a young age, Yun Jin hardened her heart and said, "Mom has to go to school. You can say whatever you want except that."
"Looking for my dad!"
"I need to go to school!"
Little Rice Cake cleverly retorted, "You said anything except going to school."
Yun Jin promised, "On the condition that I go to school, I'll go see my dad when I'm on vacation!"
Little Rice Cake angrily hugged herself with both hands, her back to her, her round little head looking extremely cute.
Yun Jin told Xiao Niangao to go ahead, and she could just sulk for a while.
With Mother He watching over things, Yun Jin wasn't worried about Xiao Niangao getting into trouble.
Looking at the little girl, who was so young and silently wiping away tears with her back turned, looking pitiful and helpless, Mrs. He felt sorry for her but was powerless to help.
In the adult world, things don't always go smoothly.
Although there are few of them, they still have to endure the separation that comes with it.
She'll get used to it!
Mother He couldn't possibly prevent her daughter's mother from going to school just for the sake of Little Rice Cake.
It's so hard to get into university, how could I possibly give up?
Little Rice Cake will have to make do for now.
Little Rice Cake cried silently for a while, then, having probably come to terms with it, slowly made her way upstairs, one step at a time, without needing any help from Mother He. She climbed up the stairs herself, tears streaming down her face, and knocked on the door of the room where they lived.
A moment later, Little Rice Cake's heart-wrenching cries rang out: "Waaah!"
Mother He: "Sigh!"
Mr. He: "Sigh!!!"
Yun Jin hugged Xiao Niangao: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Mommy promises to come back soon. Mommy loves Xiao Niangao the most!"
"Waaah, I love Mommy the most too, Mommy, you must miss me and Doubao!" Little Niangao hugged her and made a promise.
Little Bean Bun didn't know what had happened, but it felt the atmosphere was very oppressive, so it whimpered pitifully.
Cloud-patterned bolster.
Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao made a pinky promise!
When it was time for Yun Jin School to start, Xiao Niangao and Aunt He took her to the bus stop. There was a bus, but it would take one transfer to get there. It was too cold to ride a bike now.
Yun Jin's bus arrived, and she waved to get on.
Little Niangao wanted to go too, but Mother He hugged her and said, "Mom will come back when it gets dark."
Little Niangao understood the reasoning, but when she saw Yun Jin leave alone, she couldn't help but tear up. She stared longingly at Yun Jin as she watched her squeeze onto the bus, only to find there were no seats and she had to stand.
Yun Jin turned around and saw her daughter with teary eyes. She almost couldn't smile anymore, but she had to pretend to be happy and coax Xiao Niangao: "Mommy will be back soon. Listen to Grandpa and Grandma!"
Little Rice Cake nodded through her tears, watching the bus take her away. It felt like her heart had been taken away with her. She hugged Mother He's neck, buried her face in her shoulder, and burst into tears.
Mother He watched as her two-year-and-three-month-old son, Niangao, was about to become a left-behind child. His father was thousands of miles away, and his mother had to go to school, so he could only stay with his grandparents and a dog.
It's not actually that bad.
Little Niangao looks so pitiful, Mother He thinks she's really sorry for her.
On the bus, Yun Jin herself was also feeling terrible. She leaned against the window and looked at Xiao Niangao, who was burying her head in He's mother's arms and was obviously crying. Her heart ached and her eyes welled up with tears.
Yun Jin never expected that she would be trapped by a child.
Seeing that many people were staring at her, Yun Jin wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and transformed into a strong woman once again.
She and Xiaoniangao both need to get used to this new way of life, where they are separated during the day and meet again at night.
You'll get used to it; no one can stay by your side forever.
