Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1035: It Will Be Fine After a While

She paused, then added, ”Especially Jing’er.”

Star, Qinger, and Yun Er were alright, but her eldest son had always been very sensitive and more conscious of things than her other three children, even though he was just three years old.

Seeing his eldest son not talking to them, Xiao Changyi felt a bit upset, but he still spoke up, gently comforting his wife, ”We’ve just come back after being away for two months, it’s natural to feel a bit estranged, but give it some more time, and it’ll get better.”

An Jing thought that if they had been in modern times, they could’ve used a computer or a mobile phone for video calls to let them see the children and for the children to see and talk to them. But here, after their two-month absence, they hadn’t spoken to the kids, and the kids hadn’t spoken to them; it was no wonder her eldest son was acting this way.

Despite understanding this, An Jing still felt quite upset inside.

However, not wanting her husband to worry, An Jing still replied with a ”Mhm,” appearing to be comforted by Xiao Changyi.

After a while, An Jing said, ”Husband, let the children sleep with us tonight, right in between us.”

In the past, Xiao Changyi would definitely not have agreed, but now, he readily responded with a ”Mhm.”

He had not seen the four children for two months, and he had even thought that he would never be able to come back to see them. To be honest, he missed the children as much as his wife did.

That evening, after Xiao Changyi had bathed the four little ones, he led them into his and An Jing’s room.

An Yiyun asked in confusion, ”Father, our room is next door, why are you bringing us here?”

Xiao Changyi said, ”Tonight you’ll sleep with your dad and mom.”

An Yiyun, An Yiqing, and Su Yixing immediately began hopping and jumping around in excitement, cheering.

Although Su Yi Jing was not as excited as An Yiyun and the others, he silently climbed onto Xiao Changyi and An Jing’s bed.

”Jing’er, wait, dad will take off your shoes,” Xiao Changyi said when he saw Su Yi Jing climbing onto the bed. He was quite happy inside, but he was concerned that Su Yi Jing’s shoes would dirty the bed, so he quickly went over.

Su Yi Jing sat on the bed, his little feet resting on the edge, letting Xiao Changyi take off his shoes.

”Daddy, us too! Us too!” The other three little ones clamored for Xiao Changyi to take off their shoes so they could join their brother on the large bed.

Xiao Changyi obliged and took off their shoes, one by one.

Once the four little ones had gathered on the bed, they began jumping and bouncing around again, singing in their childish voices, brimming with happiness.

Xiao Changyi sat on the edge of the bed, watching the children play with a serene and softly tender gaze. Once An Jing finished her bath and entered the room, Xiao Changyi stood up, tended to the children while An Jing took care of them, and then went to bathe himself.

By the time Xiao Changyi returned, the family of six lay on the bed, with An Jing lying innermost and Xiao Changyi on the outer edge, the four little ones nestled between them.

The four little ones were not yet sleepy; they sat up as soon as they lay down and started frolicking again.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi simply sat up as well, joining the four little ones in their play.

Only after the four little ones had worn themselves out did they obediently lie down and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

But what An Jing and Xiao Changyi hadn’t expected was that, before falling asleep, Su Yi Jing tightly clutched An Jing’s clothes with one little hand and Xiao Changyi’s clothes with the other, as if by doing so, his parents would never leave him again.
