70s: Raising a Baby

People were coming and going in the train station, and among the noisy crowd the sound of the arriving train came through the radio.

Do Ayan and the others know?

Ye Jinzhi and the others were standing outside the car. There were too many people inside, and they might not be able to find anyone if they squeezed in. They were more conspicuous outside.

I told them the day before yesterday that the older ones were a little better, but Ayan was a little unhappy. Ye Jinzhi couldn't help but wipe his sweat as he recalled what he told them that day.

The man nodded and asked worriedly.

Why don't you just follow us. I'm worried that the children will be uncomfortable. No matter who is living a good life, if another child suddenly appears, they may not be able to accept it all at once.

Ye Jinzhi hesitated, Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, let's talk later. We still have to take care of the psychological well-being of the children.

Speaking of which, when Ayan was little, he kept calling people 'brother', but he was so young at that time that he doesn't even remember it now.

When the man heard what she said, he remembered the scene at that time, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

Although the two people were chatting, their eyes were always paying attention to the movement at the door, staring at the people coming and going for fear of missing it.

Why so slow? The crowd at the door gradually dwindled, but they never saw a familiar figure.

Ye Jinzhi was also a little anxious. It had been more than ten minutes. Why hadn't this person come out yet? Nothing would happen inside.

Let's wait and see. Maybe something has delayed us.

But in the train carriage, the group of people who were about to get off the train stopped there.

The fourth child and the others thought about the child's situation, so they bought a sleeper berth for just four people. They were all a little frightened along the way, fearing that something would happen to the child suddenly on the road, but luckily they were safe.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the station, the child suddenly refused to leave. He stayed here and refused to say a word. He refused to leave. No matter what they said, they wanted to pick him up and go out directly, but the child just cried loudly. Shouting, luckily there is no one in the car.

What's going on? The three grown men stood here, helpless against the child squatting in a corner.

Comrade, our train has arrived. Please get off the train quickly. The conductor began to check the carriage and found a group of them standing here motionless.

Sorry, we'll leave right away. Xiaoba stepped forward to explain to her.

The flight attendant was a little skeptical after hearing his explanation, but they didn't look like bad people, so he had to let them stay for a while, but Hurry up, we will be closing soon.

Fourth, what should I do? There's nothing we can do if he stays here like this. Xiao Qi felt a big headache. He wasn't doing well these days. What's wrong?

Didn't the young lady say she was coming to pick us up? Go and bring the young lady in to see if there is anything we can do. The fourth child had no choice but to pin his hopes on Ye Jinzhi.

Ye Jinzhi and the others outside realized that half an hour had passed since the time they were told and no one had come out yet, so they couldn't help but become anxious.

Go in and ask.

Hello, I would like to ask if all the people on the train just got off.

As luck would have it, the person they asked happened to be the conductor who was on the train just now.

Oh, there are still a few people up there. There seems to be something wrong with a child who doesn't want to come down.

Miss. As soon as Xiao Qi came out, she saw Ye Jinzhi and the others.

What happened? Ye Jinzhi looked behind him, but there was no one there.

I don't know what's going on, but that kid doesn't want to get out of the car. Xiao Qi was a little anxious. He had been squatting there for so long, wondering if his feet would go numb.

Let's go take a look first. Ye Jinzhi sighed helplessly.

This way. Xiao Qi led the way, and Ye Jinzhi and others trotted over.

Miss. Two grown men surrounded a child with cautious expressions on their faces, looking both amused and distressed at the same time.

Let me see. Ye Jinzhi was not sure whether he could handle it.

Ye Jinzhi slowly approached the child, always paying attention to the child's reaction. Whenever something was wrong, she would take a few steps back, but the child seemed not to notice anything and did not look at her at all.

When he was still one step away from him, Ye Jinzhi stopped and slowly squatted down.

Niu Niu, Niu Niu? Ye Jinzhi called his name.

When the child heard someone calling his name, he blinked and looked up at Ye Jinzhi, his bright eyes full of doubts.

Ye Jinzhi waited for him to look up, and then he realized how thin the child was. He was much smaller than the average child when he saw it from the back. The clothes didn't fit him well, and he was obviously much bigger.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and looked better, but the child was completely exposed to Ye Jinzhi when he raised his head. He was too thin.

The last time she saw the child, he still had some flesh on his face and was rosy, but this time when she saw him, he looked like he hadn't eaten enough. She didn't need to see a doctor to know that the child was obviously undernourished.

Niuniu, do you remember auntie? Ye Jinzhi lowered his voice and spoke softly.

The child was a little confused, but he didn't look at it like he did with the fourth child and continued to play with himself. He still raised his head and looked at her.

Ye Jinzhi was not discouraged when he saw that he remained silent. Suddenly, she found a necklace hanging around the child's neck.

This necklace?

This necklace has been hanging around his neck. I only saw it when I was giving him a bath the day before yesterday. He didn't want anyone to touch it. The fourth child was deeply impressed by this necklace.

Because of this necklace, I almost didn't finish the bath that day, and the child was so dirty that he had to wash it several times before he was clean.

This necklace is the one I gave him. Ye Jinzhi didn't have anything on hand, so he happened to have a necklace for safety. Several children in the family were not used to wearing it, so it happened to be given to him.

As Ye Jinzhi said this, he suddenly forgot about the child's problem and wanted to reach out and take out the necklace to take a look.

Don't- The fourth child just wanted to help him take off this necklace last time, and he got a red mark from the injury, which is still there.

So when he saw Ye Jinzhi going to get it, he was so frightened that he immediately screamed.

Unexpectedly, the child did not resist, but his eyes were still wary.

Ye Jinzhi remembered the fourth child's shouting, but he didn't expect the child to make no move, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Niuniu, do you remember Auntie? This necklace was given to Niuniu by Auntie. Niuniu, do you remember?

Ye Jinzhi couldn't guess whether the child remembered it. The child was only three years old at the time and couldn't remember anything.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Jinzhi said these words, the child actually stared at Ye Jinzhi carefully for a while.

Ye Jinzhi didn't say anything, just let him look at him, looking at him with gentle eyes.

Hug. The child suddenly stretched out his arms, with a hint of unnoticeable desire in his eyes.

This was beyond everyone's expectation. No one expected that this child would be destined to be held by Ye Jin.

A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Jinzhi's face, but she did not ignore the desire in the child's eyes and quickly stretched out her hands to hug the child.

Let's go. Ye Jinzhi winked at them.

The few people had a tacit understanding and kept silent. The two led the way and the other two followed Ye Jin.

They separated passers-by along the way, for fear that the child would suddenly be stimulated again. Fortunately, the child stopped talking after being hugged by Ye Jinzhi and continued to play with his head.

Ye Jinzhi touched the child's back. It was all bones, without any flesh, and light. He was obviously two years older than A-yan. Now it was difficult for A-yan to hold him, but the child could hardly be felt in his hands. to weight.

When they got to the car, Ye Jinzhi put him on the seat because he was afraid that he would make trouble. Unexpectedly, the child, besides reacting just now, was now back to his original state and unresponsive to the outside world.

Have you eaten? In fact, Ye Jinzhi just asked. After all, it's been so long, how could he not have breakfast yet.

Little did he know that Lao Si shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face, He didn't eat and only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge.

Then go back and make a cup of milk powder for him to try. Ye Jinzhi never expected that the child would not eat.

At home, when the house usually couldn't be quiet on weekends, it was extremely quiet now. The living room was quiet, and Aunt Li was the only one working in the kitchen.

The four children were all huddled in the piano room, not practicing, they were all sitting on the carpet. The three eldest children were okay, but Ayan was the only one with a sullen face, and his unhappiness was written all over his face.

snort.

snort.

snort.

.

Ayan hasn't stopped since his mother left. The three children have lost their temper due to his torment, and they don't know how to persuade him, so they have to let him calm down.

Ayan, if you hate him so much, you can tell your mother when she comes back. Didn't she respect our opinions?

Ah Hao put down the book in his hand, looked at his angry little face and tried to persuade him in a good voice.

Why should there be one more person in the family? Aren't we good? Ayan asked angrily with a small face.

Azhao sighed and pulled Ayan to his side.

Didn't my mother say that it was the fourth uncle who wanted to bring him back? I heard that there was something wrong with that person, so if my mother was worried, I would take him home and have a look. If you don't like him, tell your mother, and she will definitely listen to you. of.

Really? Ayan didn't believe it, but based on his trust in his brother, he already believed it.

A-Zhao nodded hard at his brother's eager eyes. In fact, he didn't know if it was possible, but if A-Yan really rejected his mother so much, he probably wouldn't force it.

Yuan Shaochen started training early today, at 10:30, wondering if the mood of the children today was very high.

Continue in the afternoon, and come here first in the morning. Yuan Shaochen saw that their mental state was much better than when they first started practicing. He thought that they had hardly rested for more than a month, so he sent them back to rest early.

Yes. As soon as they heard that they could rest, the spirits of several people immediately recovered, and their voices became much louder.

Yuan Shaochen said he was dismissed and went back to the office to get his things and go home.

Dad, dad, why are you back?

Several children were sitting in the piano room and had been paying attention to what was going on downstairs. Now they were surprised to see their father coming back so early. They didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, so they lay down by the window and shouted.

Yuan Shaochen looked up and saw several children. He waved to them and motioned for them to put their heads in.

When he came in, several children also ran downstairs, but Ayan was young and his brothers were still moving downstairs while he was still moving slowly up there.

Ah~ Ayan was a little scared of this staircase. He kept his head down and didn't notice that Yuan Shaochen walked up to him in three steps. He picked him up and screamed in fear, hugging Yuan Shaochen's neck.

What's the matter, unhappy? Yuan Shaochen had noticed it in the morning, but he was in a hurry to go to work, and now he came back early just to talk to them.

Although Yuan Shaochen was usually cruel to several children, the children would tell Yuan Shaochen whatever they were embarrassed to say to Ye Jinzhi.

As a father, Yuan Shaochen would put aside his usual seriousness when his children encountered troubles and analyze them gently.

This time was no exception. Among the four children, Ayan was not the only one who was unhappy. All three children were also confused.

After hearing what their father said, several children sat next to Yuan Shaochen and stretched out their heads to listen obediently to Yuan Shaochen's words.

Ayan stopped making trouble, sat on Yuan Shaochen's lap, and complained to Yuan Shaochen with his little head raised.

Dad, I don't want anyone else. I just want brother Azhao, brother Ah Xu, brother Ah Hao, Heisang, mom and dad, grandma Li, and uncle.

I had just been comforted by my brother, and when I heard what my father said, I began to express my dissatisfaction, emphasizing that there were many people in the family.

But because of his young age, many of his words were not clear. Even later, no one could understand what he said, but it was not difficult to see how angry he was from his expression.

Yuan Shaochen also listened to him patiently without interrupting. He didn't slowly open his mouth to explain to them until they stopped.

Dad, let me tell you about that kid first. When he was little, he was in his mother's belly for some reason.

Children couldn't understand many things, so Yuan Shaochen had to break it down and explain it to them bit by bit, trying to use words they could understand, especially Ayan.

Ayan, you met him when you were young. Yuan Shaochen also told him about the fate between the two children a few days ago.

Liar, I don't know him. Ayan didn't believe it, he didn't even remember it.

Yuan Shaochen smiled and said, Because you were still young at that time and can't remember.

Dad, do I know dad? Ah Hao asked eagerly.

Yuan Shaochen really didn't know about it, and he never told him or the others.

This dad doesn't know. He met Ayan when he was a child. You met him when you went back to pay homage to your grandpa and when you went to the hospital to visit grandpa Yuan. I don't know if you still have an impression of him.

The three children tried hard to recall, but except for Azhao who still had some memories of that day, the twins had no memory at all.

I don't remember. Azhao shook his head. He only remembered going back to pay homage to his grandfather, but he didn't remember anything else.

Yuan Shaochen nodded, It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You can see it later.

He continued to tell them about the child, This time when your fourth uncle went back, he found that he was going to be sold to human traffickers by his parents. Do you know the human traffickers?

I know, Heisang caught the bad guy.

The children will remember this for their entire lives. Yuan Shaochen nodded, Yes, his father wants to sell him.

It’s a happy weekend again. Happy weekend, little cuties.
