A first-time mother naturally has to cross the river by feeling the stones.
Lin Mengya didn't receive any training before becoming a mother, but she was kind of a good person. She liked to judge others by herself.
She won't force things on her children that she didn't want to do when she was little.
For example, when she was a child, she lived in an orphanage. Usually there were many children living together and there was no private space of her own.
The mothers in the orphanage have given everything they have to keep them fed and clothed, so naturally they are not so meticulous about their psychological problems.
Therefore, after leaving the society to make a living independently, many people seem to be able to stand alone, but in fact some problems will arise.
Take her, for example. Until she reaches adulthood, her boundaries for personal privacy are actually blurry.
After all, since childhood, everyone has shared everything except personal belongings.
At the same time, she was lucky. In the high school where she stayed, there was a girl who taught her all this very patiently.
Although she lost contact with him after going to college, she will remember the help he gave her throughout her life, and she will pass on this gratitude.
She hopes that her children will be independent, brave enough to reject others, and live a more comfortable life.
And giving them a space of their own is a very good start.
There was a lot of space on the ship, but there were also a lot of people, so her room, including hers, was not too big. The three children's rooms were right next to his and Long Tianyu's rooms.
As soon as she entered, Ning'er let go of her hand and threw herself on his bed.
In fact, the rooms on the ship are not much different from those on land, except that all the furniture is fixed, and even the chairs on the ship have fixed straps and armrests.
The purpose is that when the wind and waves hit, and the ship is too bumpy, you can use these things to fix your body to avoid falling.
And in order to prevent the children from feeling uncomfortable in this unfamiliar environment, Lin Mengya also specially asked them to bring over all the bedding that the children commonly use.
Sure enough, Xiao Ning'er felt at ease after seeing her commonly used bedding, especially after smelling the familiar smell.
After asking for his mother's permission, he took off his little shoes and ran around on the bed.
Although this bed was not as big as the one at home, it was just as soft and comfortable. He got under the quilt and revealed a pair of big eyes.
"Mom, I like this room! My brother's sister will also like it!"
Lin Mengya smiled gently. She also sat by the bed and said to Ning'er, "Have you seen this belt?"
Ning'er nodded, not understanding what she meant.
"We may encounter wind and waves when we are at sea, and the boat will be thrown up by the waves."
Xiao Ning'er is a smart child. She suddenly thought of something and asked a little anxiously: "Then what should we do? Will we be thrown up by the wind and waves, will we be injured?" Lin Mengya smiled and continued: "
So in order to prevent us from being injured, if we encounter strong winds and waves, your father and I may use this strap to secure you. Then you can continue to sleep without worrying about yourself.
You will be hurt."
The little guy looked at the straps curiously, and then looked at his mother.
Lin Mengya understood what he meant and was probably curious about this strap.
That's fine, as long as you don't feel scared.
"Then let me tie it up for you first. Can you give it a try on my mother's behalf?"
The little guy was still a little scared, but as soon as he heard that he wanted to try it for his mother, he immediately nodded very seriously.
"OK."
Then, his whole little body lay down straight, looking more curious than nervous.
Very good, it seems her son is quite courageous.
Straps for children are, of course, different from those for adults.
In order to prevent the straps from causing greater damage to the child, Lin Mengya actually prepared something similar to a sleeping bag and spread it under the child.
When encountering wind and waves, she and Long Tianyu would rush to the children's room as soon as possible, wrap the children in fully enclosed and breathable sleeping bags, and then secure the sleeping bags.
They have previously tested this kind of sleeping bag and have confirmed its safety. Even if a person is tied up in it for a day and night, there is no risk of suffocation.
In addition, some security measures have been added to all rooms.
For example, if the bed where the children are located is too bumpy, the tent of the bed will be automatically blocked, putting the safety of the children first.
Lin Mengya took the trouble to try it over and over again with her son. Finally, Xiao Ning'er was able to hide in the sleeping bag and secure it by herself without her helping hands.
Should we say that this is the natural instinct of cubs to avoid danger?
"Wow! Mother's little Ning'er is so great! What should we do if the waves throw us all up?"
Xiao Ning'er's eyes were shining, "Hide on the bed and wait for mother and father to rescue you! Also, hide in the sleeping bag, and then pull the two straps to fix it!"
"Very good! My Ning'er is great too! Okay, then should we check out other rooms? For example, your brother and your sister's room, and our room."
Xiao Ning'er thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait until they come to see my brother and sister's room. I want to see my mother and father's room."
Lin Mengya nodded and touched the child's little head as a reward.
It seems that her little Ning'er has known how to respect other people's privacy since she was a child!
The rooms of Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu are slightly larger than those of these three children. After all, they may need to come in to discuss matters in the future, so their room looks like a small suite.
After entering the door, there is a round table with six chairs next to it. On the right side of the room is a partition with a double bed, which is completely different from the kind of bed she lives in at home.
But it is very delicate and sturdy. At least during their voyage at sea, the couple should be very satisfied with this bed.
I don’t know if children are born with this kind of domain awareness.
Every time he goes to a place, if he likes it, he will roll on it or run and step on it, as if it can be tainted with his flavor and become his territory.
Of course, it was only with Lin Mengya's consent that Xiao Ning'er climbed up, but the bedding on it was not their usual one, but a brand new bedding.
Ning'er was a little dissatisfied. Although it was fragrant, it didn't smell like her parents.
So he dug himself in, like a little earthworm crawling around inside the quilt, and finally he was so tired that his forehead was covered with glistening sweat.
Lin Mengya really couldn't understand the strange behavior of the children, so while wiping the children's sweat, she asked softly: "Ning'er thinks this quilt is too cold, so she wants to warm the quilt for mother and father?"
"
Xiao Ning'er shook her head, "No! I don't like the smell of this quilt, so I want it to be stained with my smell. From now on, it will be our quilt!"
Lin Mengya couldn't help laughing, what a cute behavior this is!
I feel that things that have my own smell are my own, just like those little beasts in the wild. Only the places where I have marked them will I feel that they are my own.
"Mother, why don't you roll on it like Ning'er, so that you can get the smell of mother, and this is also mother's thing!"
Xiao Ning'er felt that her proposal was very smart and very practical.
In his opinion, only things that are tainted with the taste of his parents belong to his parents.
When he was at home, he would really miss his parents so much that he would go into their room and sleep all night on the bedding that still smelled like them.
Therefore, he is more sensitive to the taste of his father and mother than anyone else!
Lin Mengya really couldn't stand his cute thoughts, so she took off her shoes and rolled back and forth on the bed with him after checking that no one was outside.
The two of them regarded this as a kind of parent-child game. In the end, Ning'er laughed out loud, and Lin Mengya was also infected by his happy atmosphere and laughed together with her younger son.
"I heard you two laughing outside. What's the fun thing going on, and why didn't you tell me?"
Long Tianyu's gentle voice sounded, and since he knew she was here, no one except Long Tianyu dared to come in.
Lin Mengya hurriedly called to her man, "Come up here and roll around to get your scent. Your youngest son said that only the bedding that is stained with our scent belongs to us."
A tall figure walked in from the outside. Long Tianyu's eyebrows were so gentle that it was impossible to see the serious look on his face when he came in just now.
On the large bed, his beloved wife and son were lying casually, with their eyes bright and quiet, looking at him quietly. This made Long Tianyu really unable to refuse their lovely proposal.
Perhaps in front of his children, he appears as a strict father most of the time, but occasionally he also wants to be a loving father.
So, he pretended to think hard for a moment and then nodded.
"I also think Ning'er's proposal is very good. Come on, come on, give me some room, and I'll go up and get some air."
Xiao Ning'er immediately stood up and walked to the end of the bed with a smile. Lin Mengya also wanted to follow her son, but before she could move, she was pulled into his arms.
Then everything was turned upside down. She was held by the guy and turned over on the bed several times, and her son's clear laughter could be heard in her ears.
"Daddy is so awesome!"
Long Tianyu pursed his lips, his expression becoming softer and more relaxed.
"Of course."
His tall body is very suitable for his wife's support, of course, provided that the wife doesn't get angry and punch him. "You are so immodest in front of the children!"
