Extra Chapter 1: The Elder Brother’s Story of Raising a Child
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan entered a new stage when they were about three years old.
Sometimes, when Nan Ge came back from work, she was so tired that she could not catch up to them.
Especially Yuan Yuan.
Not only was he noisy, but he also loved to cry.
He would cry at the drop of a hat and beg for a hug.
In private, she did not believe it and specially asked Mrs. Nan.
[Mom, did I really cry a lot when I was young?]
[It’s not as exaggerated as your brother says. However, it’s true that you like to whine. You usually beg for an adult’s hug every few steps.]
Nan Ge went speechless.
She looked at the message on the phone and fell into deep thought, doubting her life.
Shen Yanqing called her, but she did not react.
He had no choice. He put down Yuan Yuan and went forward to help her tuck a strand of her long hair behind her head. He asked softly, “What are you thinking about?”
Nan Ge composed herself and showed him the chat history on her phone.
In just a few sentences, Shen Yanqing glanced at them.
After reading it, he smiled and looked at her dotingly. “You were indeed like this when you were young.”
‘ Nan Ge choked.
She was about to retort when she remembered that Shen Yanainz had seen her freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
when she was young.
Although she was not as young as Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan at that time, she did look like a brat because her development was slow.
Hesitating, Nan Ge asked softly, “Did I ask you to carry me back then?”
He bent his finger and gently rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Yes. Just as Mom said, You were very good at acting coquettish. If you don’t get carried, you’ll cry.”
Nan Ge went speechless.
Shen Yanqing was not lying.
It was the same when he met Nan Ge previously. The young lady hugged his leg and refused to let go. Later, after recognizing the wrong person, she stood rooted to the ground and looked at him in a daze. After a while, she cried for her brother.
When he brought her to the supermarket to buy snacks, the little girl was also unwilling to walk. It was only when she was carried that she calmed down. After entering the supermarket, she placed her hand on his neck and grabbed it tightly, refusing to go down.
When the Nan family’s butler came over and carried her over, she was reluctant to let go. At first, she was unwilling to let go. Later, the butler said that he would take her to find her brother before the little girl got off him.
He wanted to tell Nan Ge the details of this matter, but she covered her ears and did not want to hear these “dark histories”.
In July of the same year, Nan Ge had to go to the capital’s headquarters to participate in an interview program and would be back in a week.
At the same time, Shen Yanqing was going overseas for a business trip.
Originally, the two babies were supposed to go to the Shen family’s old residence, but Mr. Shen wanted to bring Auntie Wang to the banquet and could not leave.
Just as Nan Ge was hesitating if she should ask the butler to take care of the babies, Mrs. Nan called and said that she could send the babies over.
At the thought that the baby had not seen their grandparents for a while, Nan Ge discussed it with Shen Yanqing and agreed.
She had to catch a plane. The next morning, Nan Zhe brought Mrs. Nan over to pick up the babies.
“Don’t worry. There are so many people at home. Nothing will happen.” Nan
Zhe gestured for her and Shen Yanqing to go on a business trip without worry. Nan Ge said, “I’m not worried about Dad and Mom. It’s mainly you.”
Nan Zhe retorted, “What’s wrong with me? Didn’t I take care of you when you were young? Didn’t you live well too?”
The two babies had not spent the night alone at the Nan family’s house.
Previously, regardless of whether they went to the Shen family’s old residence or returned to the Nan family’s house, Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing would follow them.
This was the first time.
Tuan Tuan was fine. After arriving at the Nan family’s house, he obediently played with toys and ate. He almost did not need the adults to worry too much. However, Yuan Yuan was different.
Yuan Yuan was picky when it came to food and had to be fed. He had to be carried and accompanied when he went to the toilet. He had to sit on Nan Zhe’s lap to play with a toy. If he accidentally knocked down the toy, he would cry the next second. Most importantly, he wanted his mother whenever he cried. If he could not find his mother, he would cry non-stop as if he had fallen into an endless cycle.
Of course, this was only the appetizer.
The most important part was coaxing him to sleep at night.
Nan Zhe’s head hurt from Yuan Yuan’s crying. He simply carried Tuan Tuan to another room and left the difficult problem for his mother to solve.
“Tuan Tuan, it’s time to sleep. Uncle will coax you to sleep, okay?” In the bedroom next door, Nan Zhe lifted the blanket and lay down with Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan looked around with his eyes wide open. In such an unfamiliar environment, he could not fall asleep at all.
“Uncle, I don’t want to sleep.”
‘ Nan Zhe looked at the clock on the wall. It was not late. “Alright. But it’s a little late now, so Tuan Tuan can’t go downstairs to play. Can we watch cartoons for a while?”
Tuan Tuan was more sensible, so it was not difficult to communicate with him.
After seeing Tuan Tuan nod, Nan Zhe turned on the television and found Peppa Pig for him to watch without a word.
“Uncle, my penguin’s not here.”
After watching for a while, Tuan Tuan suddenly realized that his doll was not around.
Nan Zhe yawned and stood up. “Stay here and don’t move. Uncle will go get it.”
When he went next door to get his toys, he took the time to look at the “battle situation” on his mother’s side. It was still very noisy.
Afraid that he would get into trouble, he took Tuan Tuan’s toys and quickly slipped away.
When children slept, they always liked to grab something. Tuan Tuan liked that penguin doll very much. Although it was a little deformed now, he still liked it very much. In his own words, it smelled like his mother.
Nan Zhe also remembered that Nan Ge had reminded him many times over the phone not to lose Tuan Tuan’s dolls.
After returning the doll to Tuan Tuan, the little guy leaned against the head of the bed with the penguin in his arms. His eyes were bright as he focused on watching the cartoon.
Nan Zhe had been playing with the two babies during the day and had long exhausted his energy.
He was not interested in Peppa Pig. As soon as his head touched the pillow, sleepiness overwhelmed him.
When his eyelids fluttered, he did not forget to stretch out a hand to wrap it around Tuan Tuan. “Be good and watch the cartoon. If you’re tired, lie down and sleep.”
“Okay, okay,” Tuan Tuan replied perfunctorily and continued watching television.
Soon, there was no more sound behind him. Nan Zhe closed his eyes.
At first, he only planned to take a nap and wait for Tuan Tuan to fall asleep before sleeping.
At this time, the child could not hold on for long. He would probably be sleepy after watching for a while. Unexpectedly, after an hour, he started to dream. Tuan Tuan was still watching Peppa Pig.
How did Nan Zhe know? Heh, after his mother coaxed Yuan Yuan to sleep, she came over to see how they were doing. Unexpectedly, when she pushed the door open, she saw Nan Zhe sleeping in a strange posture and breathing evenly. Tuan Tuan was sitting cross-legged, holding a doll in one hand and eating the apple his uncle had placed by the bed in the morning. Mrs. Nan’s temples throbbed as she watched. She went up and hit Nan Zhe awake.
In the end, Tuan Tuan did not sleep with Nan Zhe and was brought to the room next door by Mrs. Nan.
Tuan Tuan originally wanted to sleep with his uncle.
However, his grandmother told him that his uncle’s sleeping posture was strange. After his uncle fell asleep at night, he would be kicked out of bed.
On the first night at the Nan family’s house, the two little guys tossed and turned until ten o’clock before falling asleep..
