70s: Raising a Baby

"Baby, I'm leaving." Ye Jinzhi was in a drowsy sleep, when he heard a voice in his ear, and his face was caressed by a pair of callused hands.

"Where are you going?" Ye Jinzhi was in a daze, and he hadn't realized it yet, but his brain soon became clear.

He tightly grasped the big hand that was about to leave, and his eyes were still tightly closed, but his body had already sat up, subconsciously leaning into Yuan Shaochen's arms.

In the darkness, a trace of reluctance flashed in Yuan Shaochen's eyes, he didn't break free, and let Ye Jinzhi lean in his arms, stroking her hair with his big hands.

Ye Jinzhi's consciousness also gradually recovered, and he hugged the man in front of him tightly with both hands, not wanting to let go.

Ye Jinzhi's own body fragrance kept wafting into his nose, and the little man in his arms was so soft that people couldn't bear to let go.

"Be good," Yuan Shaochen leaned over and kissed Ye Jinzhi's head, "eat on time, take care of yourself, don't torment your body for beauty, keep warm, you are the whole world in my heart The prettiest girl."

The rambling voices continued to reach Ye Jinzhi's ears, and the emotion of separation made Ye Jinzhi's nose tingle, and he buried his whole face in Yuan Shaochen's arms, tears from the corners of his eyes slipped down his cheeks unconsciously.

"I'll write to you guys, don't worry about me."

Ye Jinzhi tried his best to control his emotions, not wanting him to worry, "Well, we'll wait for you at home." His voice was still choked with sobs, and he couldn't stop it.

How could Yuan Shaochen not be able to hear such an obvious voice, "Don't cry, don't cry." Maybe he didn't even notice it, his voice was trembling, and he was a little at a loss.

Helping Ye Jinzhi wipe away tears with his hands in a disorderly way, his big rough hands kept wiping Ye Jinzhi's face, causing a slight tingling pain, but Ye Jinzhi didn't care, and felt more at ease, which meant that he hadn't left yet. .

The darkness seems to be able to magnify people's emotions. There is the sound of each other's breathing next to their ears. Neither of them spoke, but hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to integrate each other with themselves.

"I love you."

Ye Jinzhi was lying on the bed, the quilt beside him was chilly, the tears from the corners of his eyes fell down unconsciously, Yuan Shaochen's voice still echoed in his ears.

After Yuan Shaochen closed the bedroom door, he didn't leave immediately, but stood at the door for a while, listening to the faint choking sound inside, his heart seemed to be tightly held together, he couldn't breathe, and the corners of his eyes were red.

Before going downstairs, Yuan Shaochen went to see some children. I took a look, and they all slept like piglets.

Fortunately, there is heating, otherwise, like their sleeping position, it would be impossible not to catch a cold.

Yuan Shaochen bent down to help them adjust their sleeping positions, pulled up the quilt, and left a kiss on each child's forehead.

"Daddy, are you leaving?"

Suddenly, Ah Zhao's voice sounded, and he opened his eyes, staring at Yuan Shaochen closely in the darkness.

Yuan Shaochen's eyes could see clearly even in the dark.

Although Ah Zhao pretends to be strong, he is still a child after all, and he is still afraid of his father's departure, and his eyes are also vulnerable.

Yuan Shaochen bent down and stroked his hair.

"Be obedient and listen to your mother at home, and help your father take care of your mother and younger brother. If your father is gone, you will be the man of the family."

"Father I know, I will take good care of my mother and younger brother." A Zhao nodded vigorously with a nasal voice.

"It's great, Dad loves you." Yuan Shaochen squeezed his outstretched hand and put it under the bed, "I will have Azhao to supervise my younger brother for early training. Dad will write all your training in the notebook. Here Practice above."

"Um."

"Go to sleep, Dad is gone." Yuan Shaochen glanced at the children on the bed, with deep reluctance and worry in his eyes.

"Father." Ah Zhao jumped out of bed suddenly, ran to the door barefoot, and held Yuan Shaochen's hand, "My mother, my brother and I are waiting for you to come back at home."

Yuan Shaochen didn't speak, bent down and hugged A Zhao into his arms, and then left without looking back.

"Dad, Dad, I love you." Ah Zhao chased to the stairs, looked at the back of Yuan Shaochen, and shouted loudly.

Yuan Shaochen's footsteps paused for a moment, but soon disappeared.

"Brother." A Xu also rushed out when he heard the movement, only to see A Zhao standing alone at the stairs, with red eyes.

"Father is gone." A Xu walked to A Zhao's side, his tone was low, he hadn't said goodbye to his father yet.

Ye Jinzhi in the room also heard the movement outside and the voices of the two children.

"Why don't you wear shoes?" Ye Jinzhi realized that his voice was a little hoarse.

"Mom." The two children naturally noticed it.

"Ahem." Ye Jinzhi cleared his throat, adjusted his mood, and took the two children's hands back to the room.

"Mother."

"Well, mom is here." Ye Jinzhi didn't take the two children to their room, but took her to her room.

"Sit here." Ye Jinzhi pointed to the bed, "Mom will help you clean your feet."

The two children sat obediently by the bed, watching their mother go to the bathroom to wet the handkerchief, and then come back and squat down to help them wipe their feet.

"Mom, when is Dad coming back?" Axu rubbed his eyes.

Ye Jinzhi paused when he heard this, but recovered quickly.

But she didn't speak, and she didn't know, and she didn't know how long it would be before he came back.

After they got together before, because Yuan Shaochen often went on missions, the two rarely saw each other, and Yuan Shaochen's mother would often invite her to sit at home, or his mother would often bring some soup to the company to see her.

During a chat, I told her that when Yuan Shaochen first arrived in the army, he was selected as a special soldier. During that time, he hadn't returned home for two or three years.

The family couldn't find any news about him, they only knew that he had gone to training, and apart from a few letters sent back letting them know that he was safe, there was no news.

The two children may have also noticed Ye Jinzhi's silence, and did not speak.

After a long time, when Ye Jinzhi turned to throw out the trash, he heard Ah Zhao's voice.

"Mom, I will protect you, and I will always be by my side."

"I will too, and I will also protect my mother." Axu was not to be outdone.

The corner of Ye Jinzhi's mouth raised unconsciously, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Thank you baby." Hugging the two children tightly, the atmosphere in the room became warmer.

"Where are the shoes?"

"In the room." The two children scratched their heads embarrassedly.

Ye Jinzhi laughed, and patted his head, "Mom will help you get it."

"You're sleepy, hurry up, put on your shoes and go back to sleep." When Ye Jinzhi took the shoes back, he found the two children started yawning.

"Hmm." The eyes of the two children could no longer be opened, and they were staring at their calves in a daze looking for shoes.

"Okay, let's go to bed." Ye Jinzhi had no choice but to bend down to help them put on their shoes, fearing that they would fall, and took them back to her room with one hand.

Fortunately, the distance is not far, otherwise I would be afraid that they would fall asleep halfway.

"Go to sleep." Ye Jinzhi watched them climb into bed, and fell asleep as soon as they closed their eyes, very deeply.

"Good night baby, have a sweet dream."

"Click." With a sound, Ye Jinzhi closed the door behind him.

The child fell asleep, but Ye Jinzhi couldn't fall asleep for a long time. At night, the room alone seemed empty. Ye Jinzhi leaned against the head of the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took before Ye Jinzhi closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, the children had already returned from exercise.

"Mom got up late, she was ashamed."

When they went downstairs, the children had already had breakfast there, and seeing her coming down, Ayan gloated over her misfortune.

Ye Jinzhi's eyes were still a little swollen from crying last night, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that they were red.

"Aunt Li, do you have any eggs? Boil two eggs for me." She had to apply her eyes, otherwise she would not be able to see people.

"Yes, I just cooked it." Aunt Li came out of the kitchen with two eggs and handed them to Ye Jinzhi.

She is getting older and less sleepy, last night Ah Zhao yelled so loudly, she could hear it clearly, seeing Ye Jin wake up so late in the morning, she guessed that she might not have slept well last night, so she boiled more eggs in the morning Got a few.

"Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?" Ah Hao's eyes were so bright that he could see Ye Jinzhi so far away.

Ye Jinzhi was afraid that they would see it, so he stood at the stairs all the time, never thought that they would not see it.

"It's okay, my mother drank too much water last night, and her eyes were swollen in the morning." Ye Jinzhi said while rubbing an egg on her eyes.

"Oh." Ah Hao nodded in doubt.

Except for A Zhao and A Xu who knew that their mother was crying, the others didn't know the reason, and foolishly thought it was because they drank too much water.

"Mom, I'll help you." Ayan drank the last mouthful of porridge, climbed off the stool, and ran towards Ye Jinzhi bouncingly, tiptoeing to rub Ye Jinzhi.

"Thank you, baby." Ye Jinzhi didn't refuse, and leaned his head on the sofa, and Ayan was still kneeling on the sofa, holding an egg in one hand, and rolling it over her eyes.

The egg was peeled and it was very hot. Ye Jinzhi always held it with a handkerchief, otherwise it would be too hot for her to handle.

"I'll come too, mom, I'll rub it for you too." A Hao also rushed to get it.

Ye Jinzhi closed his eyes and nodded, "Then each of you, remember to wrap it in a handkerchief, or it will be very hot."

"Got it, mom, don't worry." The two children were on one side. Ye Jinzhi couldn't see how serious they were because he closed his eyes, but he could also feel the shallow breath hitting her face.

The two children might not be very proficient at the beginning, and they would roll on their faces or foreheads when they rolled, but they learned quickly, and Ye Jinzhi was so comfortable that he wanted to fall asleep later.

"Mom, can this egg still be eaten?" Hao, the little greedy cat, suddenly asked.

"Pfft," Ye Jinzhi didn't hold back, let out a laugh, and waved his hand quickly, for fear that he would really take a bite, "It's not edible, this egg is not edible, is Ah Hao not full?"

A Hao shook his head, thinking that his mother would not be able to see, "I'm full."

Because the children exercise a lot, Ye Jinzhi is often worried that they will be hungry, so Ye Jinzhi asked them to bring a fruit box to school, eat fruit when they are hungry, Ye Jinzhi will also put some snacks for them in the schoolbag .

"Okay baby." Feeling that the eggs were no longer warm, Ye Jinzhi slowly opened his eyes and told them to stop.

"Are you ready?" Hearing this voice, he seemed a bit reluctant.

Ye Jinzhi couldn't help but kissed them, "Okay, thank you baby."

"You're welcome." The two children were a little shy after being kissed, and their little faces were a little blushing, but they couldn't stop smiling.

With the company of several children in the morning, Ye Jinzhi felt much better last night, and his mood gradually improved.

"Go to school well, goodbye." Ye Jinzhi sent the children to the door.

"Goodbye, Mom."

"Go to school well, let's wait for Dad to come back together." Ye Jinzhi leaned over and said softly to A Zhao and A Xu, the two children were not in a good mood in the morning.

"Mother."

"Don't worry my brother, they care about you very much." Ye Jinzhi rubbed their hair.

When A Yan and A Hao rolled her eyes with eggs in the morning, the two children whispered to her, "Mom and brother seem to be unhappy."

Sometimes children who seem optimistic and silly, they also have a delicate heart, and they will also be distressed and at a loss for their brother's unhappy.

The two children obviously didn't expect it, and they were both stunned, standing in place and looking at the two little fools who were fighting and running away.

Ye Jinzhi patted him on the shoulder, "Go, don't worry my brother."

"Brother, hurry up." The two little fools in front realized that the two brothers hadn't followed, turned around and shouted.

"Here we come," the two brothers also waved their hands, "Goodbye, Mom." After a while, they caught up.

Ye Jinzhi looked at the backs of the five children with a smile, with tenderness in her eyes, hoping that her children would never be troubled and happy every day.

Ahao and Ayan are so happy now because they don't know how long their father said goodbye to them last night. They thought it was the same as the mission before, and they would be back in a few days, so they didn't understand why the two brothers were in a bad mood.

Originally, Yuan Shaochen didn't intend to tell the truth to the children, and wanted them to think that he would come back in a few days, but the two elders were more delicate in their minds. After discovering the clue, they hid the three younger brothers and went to Yuan Shaochen to ask for clarification. .

Yuan Shaochen had no choice but to tell the truth, knowing that the two children were smart, "Dad doesn't know when he will come back. When Dad is not at home, you have to take good care of your brother and mother. You are the man of the family."

"Why doesn't Dad know when to come back?" The two children couldn't understand.

Yuan Shaochen sighed, and he didn't know how to explain clearly to them, "Dad told you about our country."

The two children seemed to understand, "Are there any villains?" Didn't the villains be driven away by them?

"Yes, there will always be bad guys in this world, but they are more cunning and hide farther away, and Dad is going to fight these bad guys." Yuan Shaochen tried his best to explain to them in the language they could hear.

"So dad wants to become stronger and fight bad guys?" Ah Zhao understood
