Xu Shiyan sent away the group of winking friends, locked the door, walked around to make sure everything was okay, and then returned to the house.
Su Anying now laid out the bedding, took the sleeping children out of the east room and put them on the kang.
The two younger ones fell asleep at around six o'clock, and the older two were so sleepy before eight o'clock that they fell asleep without even taking off their clothes.
The bed full of children sleeping soundly, the gentle and virtuous wife, at this moment, is undoubtedly the most beautiful and happiest picture in the world.
Xu Shiyan was surrounded by happiness and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He walked to the edge of the kang and put his arms around his wife's waist.
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I'm not at home, it's not easy for you to take care of these four."
One person has to take care of four children, even with Zhou Guilan's help, it is enough for Su Anying.
Su Anying leaned back and leaned in Xu Shiyan's arms. She looked at the four sleeping children beside her and smiled.
"It's okay. With the help of our mother, the older two are sensible and can help me look after the younger one.
I’m not tired, I just miss you and don’t know how you are doing outside.”
Su Anying has such a temperament. No matter how hard or tired she is, she will never get angry with her husband.
It is not easy for her to raise her children at home, and it may not be easier for her husband to be outside than it is for her.
After all, she still has her mother-in-law to help her. Her husband is away from home and she is not familiar with the place. She has to take care of her sister-in-law who is in the hospital, and she also has to run around to buy groceries and cook. It must be even harder.
Isn't that what life is like? Everyone has their own hardships.
Husbands and wives should be considerate of each other and think more about each other's difficulties instead of just complaining and complaining.
"I'm fine outside, I just miss you and my children.
I really hope every day that my sixth sister will get well soon so that she can go home early."
Xu Shiyan hugged his wife and whispered how he missed his family.
"I'm finally back. I can hold my wife in my arms. Really, as soon as I hold you, my empty nagging heart is filled up."
He has a wife and children, this is his home, and it feels so good to be home.
At first, the two of them were leaning together and talking, but as they talked, they didn't know why.
Xu Shiyan reached out and pulled the light cord, and the room suddenly became dark.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, there was no moonlight outside, only the biting cold wind blew the treetops and made a whining sound.
I don't know how much time passed, but the couple was falling asleep.
Suddenly there was a cry from Su Anying's side, and she didn't know who was crying, and then the other one started crying too.
Xu Shiyan was so excited that he suddenly woke up, quickly turned on the light, put on his cotton-padded jacket, picked up one of them, and coaxed him.
Su Anying also got up wearing a cotton-padded jacket, picked up the other one, stretched out her hand to touch it, and found that the diaper was wet.
The two little ones went to bed too early tonight. Su Anying also forgot to pee just now. Now, even the mattress was wet.
"See if my daughter has peed. If she hasn't peed, take her to pee. If she peed, change her bed."
Su Anying glanced at Xu Shiyan and taught him how to do it. Here, she quickly changed her youngest son's pants and shirt.
Then he took out the wet mattress, threw it aside, and found another small mattress to put on it.
Fortunately, Zhou Guilan had taken apart some old cotton-padded clothes and made several pee mats for the two children, as well as the pee mats that Xu Haiyuan and the others used when they were young.
If you lay it on a large mattress, even if you pee at night, the small mattress on top will only get wet, and the big mattress underneath will not get wet as well.
Otherwise, there would be no need to do anything else every day, just take out the mattress.
Xu Shiyan touched it and saw that his daughter hadn't peed, so he quickly carried her to pee. Sure enough, it was a big splash.
"You two little bastards, luckily you didn't cry just now."
Xu Shiyan came back with his daughter in his arms, put her back on the bed, and watched the little girl close her eyes and hum a few times before falling asleep again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl was so coaxable that she fell asleep in a short while, but the little boy at the other end couldn't. After changing the diaper, he closed his eyes and grumbled and refused to sleep.
Su Anying took a look and knew that her son wanted to eat, so she picked her up and breastfed her son.
As a result, after eating a few mouthfuls, the boy fell asleep.
"Usually I feed them and put them to bed around eight o'clock in the evening.
When they are older, they can sleep through the night and wake up around four o'clock in the morning.
There were so many people in the afternoon that I couldn’t sleep. I went to bed too early, so I got up in the middle of the night to cause trouble.”
Su Anying put her sleeping son down, patted her son again to make sure he was asleep, and then lay down.
Xu Shiyan stretched out his arms and put his arms around his wife. The couple leaned together and soon fell asleep.
Xu Shiyan has been away from home for more than two months, and he can't take care of his family at all. There must be a lot of things backlogged.
I couldn't get any rest after I came back, and had to work again early the next morning.
First, we went to the Han family. Han Liwei was leaving, and Xu Shiqin was not well enough to see him off. Xu Shiyan, his uncle, could only go there once.
After sending Han Liwei to the car, Xu Shiyan and Han Limin didn't even take the jeep, and just strolled back.
When he arrived at the center of the town, Xu Shiyan turned towards the Forestry Bureau and stopped by a tailor shop.
With Xu Shiqin's condition now, he probably won't be able to come to work years ago. He must tell Xu Shiqin's master.
Master Qin was very nice. When he heard that Xu Shiqin's surgery was successful, he was very happy.
Just tell Xu Shiqin to take care of her at home and don't have to rush back to work.
"Xiao Xu, how much did Shi Qin spend this time? Did you bring the receipt back?
Give me all the receipts, and I'll go to the bureau to find someone to see if I can get more subsidies or something.
When you were in a hurry to go out, I forgot to mention that Shiqin can reimburse part of the surgery and medical expenses."
Master Qin suddenly remembered this matter and quickly asked Xu Shiyan to ask for a receipt from the hospital.
Xu Shiyan really brought those materials over and gave them all to Master Qin.
"Master Qin, don't be too embarrassed. Just repay as much as you can."
All the money has been spent. If you can repay it, it will be a surprise, but if you can't, it won't matter.
It's not that Xu Shiyan is generous, the key is that he doesn't want Master Qin to be in too much trouble.
After all, this tailor shop is just a small unit under the Forestry Bureau and cannot even be ranked.
Master Qin doesn't have much power, everything must be done according to the regulations of the bureau.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll try my best to fight for you, but don't be disappointed if I don't win too much."
Master Qin didn't dare to guarantee it, he just said he was trying his best.
After leaving the tailor shop, Xu Shiyan went to the bureau building again to look for Guo Shouye.
He brought back a good cigarette from the provincial capital. He bought it through Mr. Chu's relationship and just kept it for Guo Shouye.
Guo Shouye had long known that Xu Shiyan accompanied his sister to the operation, so when he saw Xu Shiyan, he first asked Xu Shiqin about the operation.
Guo Shouye was also very happy to know that everything went well.
Xu Shiyan gave him the cigarette. Guo Shouye had seen the world and knew it was a good thing at first sight, and he was very happy.
He had to give the money to Xu Shiyan, because Xu Shiyan brought it back for him.
How could Xu Shiyan ask for money? The two of them pushed back and forth for a while, but in the end Guo Shouye had no choice but to accept.
"Brother, don't spend money like this in the future. It's not easy for you either. You have four children to support at home.
Our two brothers have been friends over the years. If you have anything to do, just tell me, and if you can handle it, I will handle it directly. If you can't, I will find a way to help you."
"Brother, I have nothing else to do. I just want Brother Guo to help me find out who in the bureau has Clivia.
Or other forestry bureaus, who has Clivia.
I spend money to buy them, big or small, seeds will do."
