Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11775

Yang Ruoqing slept for an hour, which is almost two hours, before waking up.

I have to say, staying up late at night is really tiring, but catching up on sleep for two hours during the day really makes me feel much better. Before I caught up on sleep, my eyes were always burning.

During those two hours, the older woman and the mother took turns hugging each other, each hugging for an hour. They must have been exhausted.

After all, they are both of a certain age, and they have something in common: they did needlework day and night when they were young, which took a toll on their arms, shoulders, and necks.

Therefore, chronic diseases such as frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis, which cannot be completely cured, accompany them as they get older.

When Yang Ruoqing arrived at the guest room, Rong Gu had already arrived and had just taken Tuantuan from Sun Shi's arms.

"How's Tuantuan?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Sun said, "His head seems to be cooler now, and he's been sleeping quite soundly lately without making any noises."

Is that so? Yang Ruoqing stepped forward and gently patted Tuantuan's big head with her palm.

Hmm, it feels warm to the touch, at normal body temperature, and even a little slippery, as if it has just sweated a little.

Sweating is good; it helps reduce fever.

Yang Ruoqing was about to stuff a handkerchief behind Tuantuan's back to absorb his sweat when Ronggu said, "I've already stuffed one in. He wasn't sweating before, but he's starting to sweat now."

"Okay." Yang Ruoqing nodded and looked at the bed over there. "Since Tuantuan's fever has gone down and he's sleeping soundly, let's put him on the bed to sleep."

Holding a child to sleep is a last resort, mainly because the child is small and has muscle pain when they have a fever, making it difficult for them to sleep. So holding and rocking them helps to distract them and make them more comfortable.

But sleeping in someone's arms is never as comfortable as lying down and stretching out your limbs, and it's also tiring for adults.

So, at Yang Ruoqing's suggestion, Ronggu gently put Tuantuan back on the bed, sat by the bedside and watched over her, occasionally taking out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from Tuantuan's head...

Seeing how carefully Rong Gu takes care of Tuan Tuan, Yang Ruoqing can feel Rong Gu's sincerity towards Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.

After all, they've been together for almost two years. When they first arrived, the two children were still babbling and unsteady on their feet.

Then Ronggu, Linglan, and Shaoyao took the two brothers with them...

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood; we should treat each other with sincerity.

Rong Gu genuinely cares for the two children, and Yang Ruoqing naturally treats them all as family as well; they can surely sense this themselves.

"Madam, you stay here and watch over Tuanbao. I'll go and bring him his medicine. It's about time he needs to take it."

"You stay here, I'll go get it, and I'll also check on Yuanyuan and Nini while I'm at it."

"Alright."

“Qing’er, let me go with you. I haven’t seen the other two children all day, and I’m worried about them,” said Madam Sun.

Yang Ruoqing could understand Sun's feelings, because she was in the same boat. She had many children in her family and had to isolate them to prevent cross-infection.

As for myself, I can only take care of one thing at a time. Of course, it's not that there aren't enough people at home. There are definitely enough people at home. Even though Linglan and Ping'an went to Changhuaizhou with Dazhi and the others, Shaoyao and Xingwang were still left at home.

Nini also has two wet nurses taking care of her, so even though Yang Ruoqing and Rong Gu have been assigned to the front yard to care for the sick Tuantuan, Yuanyuan and Nini in the back yard are not short of help. However, as the saying goes, that feeling of 'being able to take care of one side but not the other' is a mental one, and it makes me feel a little tired...

Wang Cuilian also wanted to see the other two children, so they both stayed here to take care of Tuantuan all morning.

Before Yang Ruoqing led the two women to the backyard, all three of them washed their hands in a basin of clean water with soap, and then took off their outer shirts and changed into new ones before heading to the backyard together.

These tasks are somewhat tedious, but the goal is to minimize the risk of infection. Although their methods aren't entirely rigorous, they at least did something that can significantly reduce the chances of infection...

In the backyard, Yuanyuan knelt on one knee, arms outstretched, and looked towards Nini, who was ten steps away with a walking harness hanging from her back. She said encouragingly, "Nini, come here to your uncle, your uncle will give you candy. Come on!"

Nini, who is seven or eight months old, is now very interested in practicing walking. Her two grandmothers walk with their backs bent every day because little Nini likes to walk on the ground.

Yang Ruoqing found the walking ropes that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had used two years ago and gave them to their grandmothers, thus freeing their hands...

Encouraged by Yuanyuan, Nini indeed took a small step forward cautiously, and then another small step.

Although he walked unsteadily, he maintained his balance by using a rope on his back, the other end of which was firmly held in his mother's hand.

However, at least Nini's feet were firmly planted on the ground. From the growth process of human infants, we can gradually glimpse how humans, as a species, are different from other species on this continent. From being a four-limbed crawling creature, they gradually freed their hands, walked upright, became the top of the food chain, and became representatives of intelligence...

Yang Ruoqing and the others saw that Nini had already started walking and was slowly walking towards Yuanyuan.

The three of them exchanged glances but remained silent, afraid of disturbing Nini's walk.

The three of them held their breath and stood not far away, patiently watching Nini walk the entire way. For the adults, the short ten steps were nothing more than taking two steps with their eyes closed.

But for Nini, it was a very fulfilling journey.

When she wobbled over to Yuanyuan, the little one happily jumped into Yuanyuan's arms.

Yuanyuan was equally excited and hugged Nini, then got up and spun her around in the air.

Both mothers rushed over in fright, stretching out their hands to shield the two of them, afraid that Yuanyuan might accidentally throw Nini away.

After all, Yuanyuan's uncle is just a figurehead; he's actually not even three years old yet, and she's still a little baby who needs help bathing and dressing herself...

Such a little baby, holding an even smaller baby, how interesting...

"My Nini is so amazing! She's improved her walking skills again today."

Yang Ruoqing 'appeared' while clapping, and at the same time, she didn't forget to give Yuanyuan a thumbs up: "My Yuanbao is even more amazing. When Mom and Grandma aren't around, Yuanbao is a great little uncle and can even play with Nini!"

Not only Yang Ruoqing praised Yuanyuan and Nini, but Wang Cuilian and Sun Shi also joined in the praise.

Yuanyuan stood there proudly, puffing out her little chest, and said, "I can do even better! Because I'm Nini's uncle, I'm an elder!"

One sentence made everyone laugh.

Nini doesn't understand these things, but she already recognizes her family members and can sense the adults' emotions.

Upon seeing Yang Ruoqing, Nini's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to turn around and stagger towards Yang Ruoqing...
