70s: Raising a Baby

"Beep--" the sound of a car horn sounded at the door.

When the children heard the noise, they didn't run out to greet their mother as usual. They all sat there hesitantly, looking at their father and then at the door.

Ayan turned his head directly and stayed in Yuan Shaochen's arms, not looking out.

Yuan Shaochen was helpless, but he did not force them. There was no need to rush this matter, so he should take his time.

Seeing that there was no movement at the door, Ye Jinzhi knew that they were still angry.

"Miss?" The man also noticed and looked at Ye Jinzhi worriedly, with a tangled expression.

"Brother, please take the child down first, and I'll park the car." The fourth child and the others didn't know it yet. Seeing that they had all gone down, the child was still on top.

Yuan Shaochen heard the sound of them opening the car door and looked down at the three children looking at him.

"Go and open the door for mom. It's very cold outside." Yuan Shaochen immediately felt their hearts. Even though he was unhappy, he didn't want his mother to catch a cold.

Yuan Shaochen also held Ayan in his arms and followed them.

A few days ago, Aunt Li heard from the couple that a child was coming to the family today. She didn't know what the child looked like, so she followed them out to have a look.

"Mom." As soon as the three children opened the door, they saw their mother holding a child who was slightly taller than Ayan, and their expressions instantly turned ugly.

The door was suddenly filled with people, but fortunately there was no one there now.

"Go inside first." Ye Jinzhi held the child's cold hand with one hand, and opened the other hand in front of the children to let them enter the house.

Yuan Shaochen had been standing at the entrance. When he saw Ye Jinzhi coming in and giving her a reassuring smile, Ye Jinzhi was a little surprised that he had arrived home so early.

But then he looked at him and understood why.

Yuan Shaochen pointed at several children to Ye Jinzhi where no one else noticed, as well as Ayan, who was still having a tantrum in his arms.

Ye Jinzhi smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything more and took the child in first.

From the moment the three children opened the door and saw their mother, their attention was focused on the child holding her mother's hand, and their eyes did not leave until they entered the room.

"Aunt Li, help me make a cup of milk powder. This child didn't eat in the morning."

"Hey, let's go now." Aunt Li also saw that the child's body did not match that of children of the same age, and she guessed that the child was not living a good life.

The child didn't say a word from the time he got off the bus to the time he entered the door. He only raised his head when he opened the door. The rest of the time, he kept his head down without saying a word.

The fourth child also noticed something was wrong at this time. The reactions of several children were strange. Normally, they would not immediately come out and open the door when they heard the sound, nor would they remain silent for the whole time.

"Brother." Lao Si walked quietly to the man's side, his face a little tangled. He didn't know how Azhao and the others would react.

"How about taking the child to our place."

They had watched the four children grow up, and he felt distressed both emotionally and rationally, and he did not want to make the four children unhappy because of his decision.

The man didn't say anything, but he also considered it. If the children really didn't like it, he didn't want to leave the child here and cause trouble for the children.

Here, Ayan, who had been nestling in Yuan Shaochen's arms and refused to poke his head out, never heard his mother calling him, and couldn't help it.

Quietly, he moved his head upward, wanting to see what the person his mother brought looked like.

How could Yuan Shaochen, who had been holding him, not notice his little movements, and did not expose him out loud, deliberately changing his position so that he could see more clearly.

Ye Jinzhi saw from the corner of his eye that Yuan Shaochen had changed his position and looked over subconsciously. He happened to catch A Yan peeking and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise.

When Ayan saw that his mother had discovered him, his face instantly turned red. He buried his head in Yuan Shaochen's shoulder and refused to look any further.

"Mom." Ah Xu walked to Ye Jinzhi and held her hand.

"What's wrong?"

Ah Xu pointed at Niu Niu, who had been standing next to him, with a puzzled look on his face. He had just heard his father tell him about his situation, but he was still a little surprised.

Ye Jinzhi was actually struggling with how to introduce Niu Niu to them, especially since several children were vaguely rejecting this child.

"Mom, why doesn't he speak?" Ah Hao stood in front of Niu Niu without any scruples, staring at him curiously.

"Because he is a little tired, can Ah Hao take him to the sofa to rest for a while?"

Ah Hao frowned when he heard his mother's request, then turned to look at Ah Zhao, wondering whether he wanted it or not.

Ye Jinzhi pretended not to notice their little moves and allowed the brothers to make little moves.

She didn't force them either. After all, they would spend more time together in the future. If she forced him hard, their relationship would deteriorate in the end.

"Ayan, are you ignoring mom?" Ye Jinzhi walked up to Yuan Shaochen.

Ayan didn't respond, and Ye Jinzhi was not discouraged and continued to ask.

"Mom wants to hug Ayan. Does Ayan want to be hugged by mom?"

I saw Ayan in Yuan Shaochen's arms moving, but still buried his head in silence.

Ye Jinzhi continued, "Mom is so sad. Ayan doesn't want his mother anymore." He deliberately pretended to be pitiful.

Sure enough, when Ayan, who was already a little emotional, heard that his mother was sad, he didn't care that he was still angry, and immediately raised his head, but his face was filled with anger.

Ye Jinzhi smiled successfully, not caring about his expression, and stretched out his hands to him, "Hug."

Then Ayan wrinkled his little face, as if you wanted to hug him and it wasn't me who took the initiative, and reluctantly stretched out his arm to Ye Jinzhi.

Yuan Shaochen watched the interaction between their mother and son, his face full of doting, and helped Ye Jinzhi put Ayan in her arms.

"Humph." Ayan's little face couldn't help but rise. He didn't know how happy he was, but he still made an expression like he was very angry and came to comfort me.

Ye Jinzhi looked at his son's arrogant expression, his little face raised high, and thought he was pretending to be good, but in fact he was just talking about it.

"Come and coax me, come and coax me."

On the other side of the living room, Ah Hao saw his brother nodding, and without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand to pull Niu Niu.

The fourth child watched with fear, fearing that the child would not give Ah Hao face, so he threw his hand away.

But, okay, okay, Niu Niu was too generous and didn't refuse, obediently letting Ah Hao lead him away.

"Sit here." Ah Hao was still not used to it, so he led the person to the sofa and ran away.

"Brother, he is so thin, and his hands are so small." Ah Hao ran to his two brothers and whispered to them what he had just discovered.

Here, Heisang also stretched out his nose around the sofa to smell the new member. The child was not afraid and kept following Heisang with his eyes.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, he slowly raised his hand and wanted to touch Heisang.

"Aww, aww." Heisang didn't reject it, and even took the initiative to move closer to Niu Niu.

"Miss, the milk powder is ready." Aunt Li also came out with a cup of milk powder.

"There are no extra bottles at home, so I soaked him in a cup." Aunt Li explained when Ye Jinzhi looked over.

Ye Jinzhi shook his head, "It doesn't matter, just use a cup."

Ayan is the only one in the family who still needs a bottle to drink milk, while the other three children have long since switched to cups.

"The child drinks milk." Aunt Li didn't know that there was something wrong with Niu Niu. Seeing that he kept refusing to answer, she thought he was afraid of life.

"Miss, this."

"It's okay, you can leave it here first." Ye Jinzhi forgot about this.

"Ayan, can we come down first?" Ye Jinzhi, still holding one in his arms, discussed with him angrily.

Ayan was very happy to be coaxed just now, and now he could talk easily and nodded briskly.

"Niu Niu, Niu Niu, can we drink milk?" Ye Jinzhi put the milk in front of his eyes. Niu Niu looked up and saw that it was Ye Jinzhi, so he stretched out his hand to take it.

Ayan has also been following his mother. He is no longer as repulsive towards Niu Niu as he was at first. Now he is also staring at him with curiosity.

Ye Jinzhi looked at the two children, and the scene from that time came to mind again. At that time, the two children still needed to be held in someone's arms.

nowadays.

"In other words, I'll make an appointment with a psychiatrist for you. You can take him to see you when you can."

Several adults consciously left, leaving space for a few children to see their reactions.

Ye Jinzhi thought for a while and was a little unsure about paying attention, "Can you invite the doctor to your home?"

"The child had a great reaction when he was at the station today. I have several meetings to attend tomorrow, so I only have time today." Ye Jinzhi looked troubled, even today was the time she finally found.

Yuan Shaochen also knew that she was busy with work, so he nodded, "I'll call you later and ask. If it doesn't work, I'll change the time."

They all stood upstairs, paying attention to what was going on below. Ye Jinzhi was actually a little worried. Some children with autism are aggressive.

They didn't know much about this child, and they didn't know what kind of child he was, but after a few hours of contact, she felt that this was not the case with this child.

"You guys take turns coming here to look after this child these days." Ye Jinzhi turned to them and said.

It's not that she wants to restrict the child's activities, it's just that she's afraid that they won't know what happens when the time comes, and the child definitely can't be left alone.

"What's your name?" Ayan received her mother's assurance and knew that he would not compete with her, so her resistance to him was obviously reduced.

It's just that Niuniu didn't respond. He was just playing with the toy Ye Jinzhi had just given him, and didn't respond to Ayan's question.

"Brother." Ayan had never suffered this grievance. He took the initiative to say hello to him but he ignored him.

Ah Zhao saw that he was about to feel aggrieved again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull him to reason with him, "Didn't Dad say that he was like this because he was sick? He didn't do it on purpose."

Ayan also remembered, but "Is it because of this that his parents don't want him?" Tong Yanwuji, but fortunately Niu Niu was immersed in his own world.

"You can't say that, he will be sad." Ah Zhao covered his mouth and whispered.

"Yeah." Ayan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and looked back with a worried look. Fortunately, he didn't hear it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, do you think he's cured well?" Ah Xu sat aside with his face propped up, "Isn't he tired of playing with a toy for so long?"

Ah Zhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Everyone is just like you, they stop playing after playing once."

The person who consumes the most toys in the family is not A-yan or A-hao, but Ah-Xu. No one would have thought that this child who seems to be the best-behaved is the most fond of new things and dislikes old things. Once he gets the toys, he will give them up within half a day.

"Liar, if my toy car wasn't too small, I would still like it." Ah Xu frowned and refused to admit it.

Azhao shrugged and refused to listen to his excuse, but, "Mom said she would help us remodel the car in a few days to expand the space."

"Really!" Ah Hao asked hurriedly. He had thought about it for a long time, but it was really a bit small and either he couldn't fit in or it looked a bit crowded.

"That's right. Mom has never lied to us."

Ye Jinzhi, who was upstairs, remembered what she heard and thought that she would find someone to change it tomorrow. She still had the drawings of the car with her.

"Brother, does that mean he doesn't have to go to school?" Ayan discovered a problem.

I really don't know about this Ah Zhao, but there is a high chance that he doesn't have to go to school.

"So happy." Ayan sighed. He has now experienced the hardship of going to school, and has wanted to tell his mother several times that he doesn't want to go to school.

"Alas~"

The three older children listened to him sighing and winking at each other. It was too early to sigh now, and they would even cry when he reaches elementary school.

"I want to eat candy." Ayan has not had candy for many days. His mother said that he is not allowed to eat candy when his teeth change, so he can only watch his brother eat every time.

"Eat some fruit." Azhao looked at him and shook his head, then reached out and took a grape from the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ah Xu was bored. The child opposite kept lowering his head and playing with his own. He couldn't sit still, but he knew that his parents were watching them upstairs, so he didn't dare to leave.

"Let's play with this, mom just brought it back."

Ahao pulled out a box from the side, which contained many novel toys. They were all very rare to the toys their mother brought back recently.

Ye Jinzhi also recently discovered that they also have a toy factory under their ownership, but the performance has been very poor, it can hardly make ends meet, and it is in danger of going bankrupt.

However, Ye Jinzhi went to see it in person and found that although he could not make much money, the toys he made were pretty good.

It happened that there was a person in the family who liked new toys but disliked old toys. Ye Jinzhi went back and made a special plan for this toy factory. He also designed some puzzles and Rubik's cubes that future generations of children would play with and other brain-developing toys.

Maybe it was a bit difficult. Even though Ye Jinzhi drew the pictures very carefully and wrote instructions beside them, it still took a lot of time to make.

No, as soon as yesterday arrived, Ye Jinzhi brought them all back and let a few children try them out.

"What is this? A puzzle? A Rubik's Cube?"

It was the first time for several children to see this kind of toy, and they all sat down on the carpet and started playing with it.

"How to play this?"

"Oops, it fell apart."

"This one is just going to fall apart and we'll put it back together ourselves."

Several children were noisy and playing with their new toys.

"You, do you want to play?" Ayan looked up and found that he was staring at the toy in his hand, and pointed hesitantly at the puzzle in his hand.

I thought it would be the same as before, but I didn't expect that when he looked at the toy in his hand, after a long time, he was about to give up, and he actually nodded.
