This stay turned out to be a three-day stint in the hospital before they returned home.
Having returned home, because the children had been through such a harrowing experience, and concerned about potential psychological trauma, the kindergarten had granted them a week off.
The four little ones were now happily at home.
No one likes going to school, but of course, going to school is necessary.
The scene in the yard went like this
The kids were all playing with jumping elasticsâ¦
Ye Fan was accompanying Bai Susu in basking under the sunshine.
The warm sunshine bathed them, feeling very cozy indeed.
No matter how you looked at it, the scene was filled with immense warmth.
âSusu, you can sleep in the sunshine for a bit. Soaking up the sun is good for your health, and of course, itâs also great for the baby!â Ye Fan said.
âYes, yes, I know!â Bai Susu nodded.
âHehe, Daddy, can I touch Mommyâs belly? I want to feel what itâs like with a little sister or little brother in there.â Ye Bing approached somewhat shyly and said.
She was genuinely curious.
After all, there was a little baby inside Mommyâs belly.
Just like her, another adorable baby.
Besides, this was potentially her own little brother or sister, which only increased her affection.
In the future, there would be another playmate at home to join them.
âOf course, come on, feel it!â Bai Susu said with a smile to her eldest daughter.
Such a cute little thing, she was.
Just look at her, all nervous.
Thereâs nothing to be nervous about.
âBe gentle, you canât hurt your mom,â Ye Fan cautioned.
He was worried, fearing the child might not know her own strength.
The doctors had said Bai Susu needed to rest quietly.
âOkay, hehe.â Ye Bing reached out her hand, slowly placing it on Bai Susuâs stomach with the utmost gentleness, knowing that the baby inside her mother was very delicate and needed to be cared for with caution.
So this is what a baby feels like.
Hehe.
Eldest daughter Ye Bingâs little face lit up with excitement.
âThe child will just adapt, thereâs nothing so delicate about it,â Bai Susu said with a laugh.
Ye Fan sure liked to make a big fuss over small matters.
But deep down, she felt very sweet.
âMommy, how much longer does the baby have to stay in your belly?â Ye Bing asked.
Indeed, when would the baby come out to play with her and her sisters?
She was so anxious.
She hoped the baby would come out soon to join their fun.
Later on, wherever they went, theyâd take their little sister with them, as if she were their little tail.
Haha
Of course, if anyone dared to bully their sister, these four elder sisters would be the first to object.
In the future, her sister would have their protection.
âWell, itâll be several months more. Itâs been only two months now, we still have over seven months to go before the baby can come out. Then, as big sisters, youâll have to play with the little one and take good care of her,â said Bai Susu, reaching out to stroke Ye Bingâs head.
Seeing her child so well-behaved and sensible, Bai Susuâs heart was filled with happiness.
Her husband loved her so much, her children were so understanding, and her in-laws took such good care of her. Bai Susu felt she was truly lucky to have such a family.
It was such a happy life,
âDonât worry, Mommy. When the time comes, we will definitely play with the little sister. Leave her to us, you just relax!â said Ye Bing, confidently thumping her chest in a very adult-like manner.
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt that his eldest daughter must have been led astray by Little Fourth.
He remembered how the eldest used to be quiet and reserved, but now sheâd started to mimic Little Fourth in confidently thumping her chest whenever she made a promise,
Little Fourth had picked this up from watching TV.
Recently, Ye Fan had already started to limit Little Fourth Ye Jieâs TV time.
If Little Fourth Ye Jie kept learning from the TV, it could be overwhelming as she grew up.
After all, watching TV has its pros and cons.
Itâs all about how you guide it.
Moreover, watching too much TV is harmful to the eyes.
The children were young, so it was better for them to be cautious.
Little kids donât understand these things, but as parents, itâs definitely their responsibility to supervise.
âAh, thatâs such a long time, over seven months. The baby is taking so long to come out, but we will wait for her to come out and play with us.â Ye Bing became a bit downcast, she hadnât realized it would take that long.
But no matter how long it takes, itâs still her sister, so she was willing to keep waiting.
As an elder sister, she should let the younger sister depend on her, so she waits.
âYouâre so eager for the little sister to come out early and keep you company,â Bai Susu said with a smile.
Anyway, whether itâs a boy or a girl in the womb, she didnât know.
The eldest had all been referring to it as a little sister, hoping for a sister.
But Little Fourth Ye Jie insisted it would be a boy,
So Bai Susu had prepared many neutral-colored clothes just in case.
That way, whether itâs a boy or a girl, the baby could wear them. What a great idea.
Previously, they still had clothes from when the four little ones were younger.
They could all be passed down for the little one to wear.
In their tradition, thereâs a belief that itâs best for a newborn to wear clothes passed down from other children as it supposedly promotes healthy growth, despite being a tad superstitious.
As long as it might do some good for the child, Bai Susu was willing to try it.
Besides, the clothes worn by Ye Bing and the others before were all in good condition, still wearable.
And so, they would be used for this baby.
