Chapter 157 The Coldness of Human Nature
Is there any doubt about that?
Qin Yingxue smiled.
After becoming pregnant, she searched through almost every nutritional supplement in the mall that could help develop her baby's intelligence and strengthen their body.
If other people's babies can see objects at two months old, then it's not surprising that my three babies can see clearly at a little over a month old.
Forgive her, it's her first time having a baby, she has no experience as a mother.
It was her fault; she will definitely do her homework and take good care of her child in the future.
"The babies are growing up day by day, and you two can't manage it all. Has Yan Chuan mentioned hiring a nanny?" Jiang Yueqiao asked with concern.
"Yes! Yingxue, have you discussed this with Yanchuan?" Zhu Huiwen asked with concern.
"I did say that we'd confirm it when he gets back," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
"Wait for someone to decide?" A familiar voice came, and Song Yanchuan appeared, looking exhausted but with a smile on his face.
The first thing he did was to step forward and take the eldest child from Zhu Huiwen's arms. The moment he saw the child, the fatigue on his face vanished, and he radiated a gentle light. He lifted Song Shiyan high in the air.
The eldest brother grinned, revealing his teeth.
"Yan Chuan, be careful..." Zhu Huiwen reminded him with some concern.
When Qin Yingxue saw Song Yanchuan, she immediately scanned him from head to toe. Only after confirming that he had returned safely and unharmed did she finally feel relieved.
Seeing him holding the child with a happy smile on his face, I smiled too.
Jiang Yueqiao's eyes lit up when she saw Song Yanchuan, and she asked excitedly, "Song Yanchuan, where's Ouyang Jian? Did he come back with you?"
“We came back together. He knew I was worried about my wife and children, so he took the initiative to report to the regimental commander and let me return first. By now, he had almost finished reporting,” Song Yanchuan said, glancing at the time.
"Auntie, please hold Xiao Shiqing for now, I'm going home to check on things." Jiang Yueqiao's heart had already flown away, and she handed Xiao Shiqing to Zhu Huiwen with some embarrassment.
"Hurry back! Drive carefully," Zhu Huiwen said with a smile.
A blush rose on Jiang Yueqiao's face as she gently tugged at Xiao Shiqing's hand: "Godmother will go back first and come to visit Xiao Shiqing later!"
Then, Jiang Yueqiao looked at Qin Yingxue somewhat embarrassed.
"Go ahead! Talk it out between the two of you. Yueqiao, only by speaking openly will you understand each other's feelings," Qin Yingxue encouraged Jiang Yueqiao with a smile.
"I will." Jiang Yueqiao nodded, then turned and walked outside.
Song Yanchuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue carried the second child over and asked with concern, "Have you had lunch? I'll cook you some noodles."
"I'll go! You two take care of the child," Zhu Huiwen said quickly.
Wen Tianqing rushed over to hug Xiao Shiqing, but Song Yanchuan intercepted her halfway: "You take your brother to do his homework, I'll do it."
Wen Tianqing nodded and, understandingly, led Wen Tiandong back to his room to do his homework.
In the latter half of last year, Song Yanchuan sent the siblings to the town's primary school.
Today is Sunday, and the brother and sister are at home.
Song Yanchuan was carrying one child in each arm, which made Qin Yingxue tremble with fear. She suggested, "Let's go back to our room! I have something to discuss with you."
"Don't rush. On my way back, I heard that Third Brother and Haijian had some trouble." Seeing that no one was in the living room, Song Yanchuan asked with a serious expression, "What happened? What's wrong?"
Qin Yingxue sighed and told Song Yanchuan in detail how the fishermen disappeared, how Bai Haijian was forced by the villagers to go out and search for them, how his third brother accompanied him, how everyone in the village returned except for the two of them, how the villagers did nothing and even made sarcastic remarks, and how it was only after Uncle Bai and the village chief found the two by going to the search and rescue team.
Song Yanchuan frowned more and more as he listened, and finally his face turned even more ugly. He said, "Human nature is cold and heartless."
"Thankfully, no one's hurt." Qin Yingxue sighed. "It's good that you're back. Be more careful in the future."
"We can't let this go just because it involves human lives. I'll go ask them after I finish eating and see when they'll be back."
Song Yanchuan offered Qin Yingxue a word of comfort.
Qin Yingxue wasn't actually worried, but when she heard Song Yanchuan say that, she nodded in agreement.
The noodles were cooked quickly, and Zhu Huiwen topped them with two poached eggs.
Song Yanchuan was really hungry. He ate the whole bowl of noodles, leaving not a drop of soup.
Zhu Huiwen looked distressed: "Did I not make enough? You didn't eat enough..."
"I'm full," Song Yanchuan said, letting out a burp.
Zhu Huiwen was relieved. She looked at Qin Yingxue and said to Song Yanchuan, "Yanchuan, now that you're back, there are some things we need to take care of. The three children are growing up and starting to recognize people. Are you and Yingxue planning to hire a nanny?"
Qin Yingxue was surprised that Zhu Huiwen was in such a hurry, and couldn't help but look at her.
Zhu Huiwen gave a wry smile: "The baby will start to be wary of strangers after three months. If you want to hire a nanny, you should plan ahead."
“But we don’t know anyone here who is reliable, and it’s not something we can hire a nanny in a short time.” Qin Yingxue felt that Zhu Huiwen was acting strangely today.
Hiring a nanny isn't that simple; at the very least, she needs to be of good character and have a good personality.
Perhaps influenced by the internet in their previous life, they've seen many short videos where parents witness nannies abusing their babies when no one is home...
Therefore, she must be extremely cautious when it comes to hiring a nanny.
“If you trust me, I have a reliable candidate on my side,” Zhu Huiwen said, looking at the two of them.
Qin Yingxue and Song Yanchuan exchanged a glance.
"Mom, who are you talking about?" Song Yanchuan asked.
Qin Yingxue also looked at her.
In her memory, after her mother-in-law came to the military family compound, she became quite close to Grandma Wu next door.
The others were all acquaintances, with no real relationship to speak of.
Grandma Wu is helping to take care of the children?
Give me a break!
She is already sixty years old. Although she is still healthy, she fell last year and is not as agile as before.
Zhu Huiwen still helps with things like grocery shopping occasionally.
“It’s Aunt Xinghua from the village,” Zhu Huiwen said with a smile. “She’s efficient and clean. Back in my hometown, she was the one who helped me the most. Now her children have all grown up and are earning money, and her mother-in-law has passed away. There’s nothing much to do at home. If we’re going to hire a nanny, I believe she can handle it.”
Qin Yingxue had no recollection of any Aunt Xinghua, so she looked at Song Yanchuan.
If the person is indeed of good character and clean, as my mother-in-law says, then it's acceptable.
The main problem is that Zhu Huiwen has no friends here. If Aunt Xinghua comes, she'll have someone to talk to.
