Chapter 557 Owning Yourself
Han Xiaorui nodded, "Well, although we practiced separate beds before, and the children adapted well, it was at night, and we could only see them the next morning."

"I'm out to sea now, for at least three days. I'm not at home, and I don't know if the child will cry or eat well."

Han Xiaorui was really happy and comfortable to be able to return to the sea.

But the longing for children is also real.

Almost all mothers in the world are like this.

Sister Tang smiled and said, "In order to supplement the family income, I started going out to sea with my child when he was only six months old!"

"My mother-in-law raised the child with goat milk. I felt like my heart was broken at that time. But there was nothing I could do for the sake of life. Otherwise, my family would starve."

Sister Lan smiled and said, "Shipowner, we are very happy that you are going out to sea with us. It always helps us gain more. We discussed before, will you come on board in the future?"

"After all, you have so many companies and jobs under your name. Will your absence for a few days affect your work?"

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "I have handed over all the tasks to the relevant persons in charge. I just need to urge them to work well and then check their work results."

"If I take on so many things by myself, I may not be able to do them better than them even if I have to work hard. As for going out to sea, it is really my favorite activity."

"Compared to those gorgeous clothes, I prefer the state of floating on the sea, the joy of harvest, and the satisfaction of seeing the creatures on the seabed."

"Of course I can't bear to leave my child, but I am a mother and I also have my own hobbies. I can't lose myself completely because of my child."

"At the same time, I also believe that the child's father and his family can help me take care of the child and bear the responsibility of raising the child."

"Besides, I only go out to sea once or twice a month, not more than that. So now I really cherish the time I spend out at sea, sharing the joy of fishing with everyone."

For these boat workers, working on a ship is hard but not boring.

Especially this ship, it's full of women.

When you are busy, you don't have time to be bored.

When they are free, everyone is in the small room, some are resting and sleeping, some are talking and chatting, and talking about all kinds of gossip.

For example, after everyone finished caring about Han Xiaorui, they began to ask Liang Xiaoyu about the divorce between Aunt Cai and Old Man Cai.

Sister Tang gave Liang Xiaoyu a thumbs up and said, "Xiaoyu, your mother-in-law is really an amazing person! She has taken every aspect into consideration. It is obvious that she has been dissatisfied with Old Man Cai for a long time."

Liang Xiaoyu nodded. "Usually my mother-in-law is very kind and rarely argues with my father-in-law. The only thing she can't stand is what he did now. She's not angry, but she feels ashamed and embarrassed."

"Now I'm going to file for divorce right away, but after the lawyer's analysis, they feel that they won't get anything out of the divorce, so they don't want to divorce. They even say that they have an emotional foundation with my mother-in-law!"

"In fact, it's all because he didn't get the money and family property he wanted. He was so arrogant when he said he wanted at least half of the family property!"

Chen Yishui echoed from the side, "So we women have to think more about everything and rely on ourselves."

"All hopes are placed on men. It's better if men behave themselves. But if men change their minds and take the money and the house in their hands, what can women do?"

Sister Lan nodded quickly, "Yes, we mothers usually don't want to give up our children, we all want them! But the man used the child as a threat, saying that if he wants the child, he will have to leave the house with nothing."

"It's OK if the child is older, so they can go to school. But if the child is young, the mother has to take care of the child. If she wants to work, she has to ask others to help take care of the child."

"But even though we live in a new society here, it's not easy for a married daughter to go back to her parents' home and ask for help. She's not an only child, and she has brothers and sisters. How can they accommodate her?"

This is Sister Lan’s personal experience, it’s really difficult.

Fortunately, she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work and after remarrying, both her son and her husband's daughter are very well-behaved.

Later she became pregnant and gave birth to another son. Now there are three children in the family.

Her mother-in-law also came to help take care of the children so that she could continue to go back to the boat to make money.

Everything will be fine when the child is old enough to go to kindergarten, and the days will just pass one by one.

Every family has its own faults, but everyone is positive and encourages and helps each other.

The time at sea was happy, but also a little melancholy.

But this is the flavor of life, Han Xiaorui savored it carefully.

At the same time, Pingping and Anan, who had just returned home from school, played at home with their younger brother and sister.

It was getting dark, but Mom hadn't come home yet.

Pingping and Anan knew that their mother had gone out to sea. This happened often when they were young, so they were used to it.

But Ningning was so strong that it was the first time for him to leave his mother and he didn’t see her during the meal.

"Dad, call Mom to have dinner!" Ningning shook Ye Feng's arm.

Ye Feng smiled and replied, "Mom is not at home tonight. She is going to the sea to catch seafood and get you some delicious fish."

When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he blinked and said a little aggrievedly, "Dad, I don't eat seafood, I want mom!"

Ningning also quickly echoed, "Dad, I want my mom! I want my mom..."

Ye Feng was overwhelmed and coaxed them to eat first, "Wait until you finish eating, maybe mom will come!"

Hearing this, Ning Ning's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?"

Ye Feng replied: "Mom will be back after she finishes her work! Don't you like seafood? I remember you like seafood noodles the most!"

"Dad also likes to eat seafood. My sisters like it too! Mom catches good seafood for us. We should cheer for her!"

When Ningning and Zhuangzhuang heard this, they immediately became unhappy again, "We want mommy..."

Sister Lian was feeding the child and felt particularly distressed. "The child is still young and can't leave his mother. Besides, it's not necessary for Xiaorui to go fishing!"

Many people may think so, but Ye Feng doesn’t.

"Xiao Rui has had no time for herself since she got pregnant and gave birth! It's good to go fishing and let her relax."

"As for the children, I'll coax them to eat first. After dinner, I'll take them to play, and they'll forget about it in a while!"

Ping Ping and An An saw their younger siblings crying, and each comforted them, "Ning Ning, don't cry, don't you like my hairpin? I'll give you one later, and I'll ask Aunt Lian to braid a pretty pigtail for you tomorrow."

Ningning has been coveting her sister's hairpin for a long time, but her hair is short and her sister particularly likes it, so she doesn't give it to her.

Ningning finally got what she wanted. Her eyes lit up. "Sister, is this true? Are you really giving it to me?"

Pingping nodded, "Of course I'll give it to you. Come on and eat! I have a lot of fun things. I'll take you out to play after you've eaten."

Ye Feng originally thought that the children were difficult to coax, but he didn't expect that his two daughters would help and coax Ningning and Zhuangzhuang.

After dinner, we played in the yard for a while.

Pingping took out her collection of hairpins to share with Ningning, and Anan took Zhuangzhuang to walk the chickens and play with the dog in the backyard.

Sister Lian was watching from a distance and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaofeng, Xiaorui taught Pingping and An'an so well! Look how careful and considerate they are!"

Ye Feng smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, my two daughters are really very well behaved! They may not be that smart, but their sincerity and love are unmatched by other children."

Many people say that Ping Ping and An An are a burden, but Ye Feng never thinks so in his heart. From the day he pursued Han Xiaorui, he has accepted Ping Ping and An An from the bottom of his heart.

After spending a long time together, Ye Feng likes Pingping and Anan more and more. They are his daughters.

Even though there is no blood relationship, Ye Feng still thinks so.

With sincerity in return, Pingping and Anan also regarded him as their biological father.

As for his blood-related, biological father, Yang Jianming, he has lived a peaceful and peaceful life and has almost forgotten his existence.

When the children are tired from playing, Sister Lian helps them wash and coaxes them to sleep.

However, both children ran to their father, holding the books and asking Ye Feng to tell them stories.

Ye Feng was reading a story to them, but before he finished reading the story, the two children fell asleep.

The bed in the master bedroom was very big, so Ye Feng put the two children on the bed and slept with them in his arms on the edge.

These two kids sleep like they are fighting a war, and they can't wait to spin around in bed.

He kicked Ye Feng a few times from time to time and woke Ye Feng up several times.

Ye Feng covered them with a thin blanket before going back to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Feng was not in good spirits and felt a little sleepy, so he did not get up to run.

With the help of Sister Lian, I was able to finally dress the child, have breakfast, and personally send the child to kindergarten and elementary school.

Fortunately, today is Saturday and the child needs to work half a day.

Ye Feng was worried about the child, so I didn't go to work.

He had already finished his work yesterday, so it was okay for him not to go.

After coming back, I took a nap in the house.

Han Xiaoqing also had a day off today, and came to visit her sister's family accompanied by Chen Wenxuan.

Chen Wenxuan was very surprised when he heard that Han Xiaorui had gone to sea. "The child is still so young, are you really willing to let her go?"

Han Xiaojing didn't take it seriously when she heard this. "My sister is a mother, but she is also an individual with an independent soul. My sister loves the sea very much, but during the years of pregnancy, childbirth and raising the child, she has been concentrating on taking care of the child and has not gone out to sea."

"Now that the child is in kindergarten, there are people to take care of him. My sister doesn't need to do everything herself. I support her in pursuing the lifestyle she likes."

She helped take care of Pingping and Anan at the beginning. The children were a little uncomfortable at first, but after buying more toys and chatting with them more, they soon adapted.

What's more, my brother-in-law is at home now, and there is also Sister Lian.

Wu Yao is married and lives in her own home, but comes here to work during the day, help with housework and take care of the children.

Although Wu Jiao is engaged, she has not yet married and still lives at home.

Therefore, there is no need to worry at all, as you can bring it over.

Chen Wenxuan smiled and said, "I have asked Miss Cai to help me find a reliable nanny. When you give birth, I will help you take care of the child."

"After your maternity leave is over, you can go back to work! I can also accompany you to take care of the baby after I get off work in the evening."

Han Xiaojing nodded, "Of course you should. You will love your child more if you raise him/her yourself. If you don't raise a child, you don't know how to love him/her."

As he was speaking, Ye Feng came down from upstairs while buttoning his clothes.

"Xiao Jingwenxuan, you guys chat first, I'm going to pick up the four children!"

Han Xiaojing nodded, "Okay, brother-in-law, do you need Wenxuan's help?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "No need, I'll drive over!"

"Cars are not allowed to park near the school!" said Han Xiaojin.

Ye Feng replied: "I parked far away and waited at the door! I picked up Ping An and An An, then drove them to the kindergarten and brought Ning Ning and Zhuang Zhuang with me."

"With you here, they won't be looking for their mother at noon today! I will do my best to take good care of the children so that your sister can go out to sea with peace of mind."

After sharing a bed with his wife for several years, Ye Feng had a thorough understanding of Han Xiaorui.

Every time he mentioned going out to sea, Ye Feng could feel his wife Han Xiaorui's desire and love for the sea.

If he used housework or children to stop Han Xiaorui from going out to sea, it would be equivalent to binding Han Xiaorui's soul.

Although he would feel much more relaxed by doing so, he lost the interesting and free-spirited Han Xiaorui.

Han Xiaojing looked at her brother-in-law's back as he left and couldn't help but sigh, "Sister-in-law is so nice!"

At this time, Chen Wenxuan patted his chest and said, "Xiao Jing, your husband is also a good man! He is a good husband now and will be a good father in the future!"

But just as he finished saying this, he heard the pager at his waist ringing.

Chen Wenxuan then took a look and found that it was a call from his workplace.

"It's the weekend, is there anything urgent at work?" Chen Wenxuan frowned slightly.

Han Xiaojing urged, "You just joined the institute. Since they're looking for you, call back using your home phone."

"If there is an emergency, I won't be able to stay here with you!" Chen Wenxuan felt a little regretful.

Han Xiaojing smiled and said, "I'm in good health now, and I'm still at my sister's house, you don't have to worry about me!"

"If you are busy with work and can't come back in time at night, then I will stay here today so you don't have to run back and forth."

Chen Wenxuan nodded, "Okay, I'll call back first!"

After the call was connected, Chen Wenxuan asked, "Director Feng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Director Feng's voice was rather urgent. "Comrade Chen Wenxuan, we have received an urgent task. Please hurry back to the unit."

Chen Wenxuan asked: "What mission?"

"Keep it secret!" Director Feng replied, "You can't go home while the mission is being completed, and you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, so tell your family and bring your luggage and come here quickly."

Chen Wenxuan hesitated.

At this time, Han Xiaojing said: "Wenxuan, isn't our original intention to come back from studying abroad to build our motherland?"

"Now is the time for the Party, the people and the motherland to test you. Go with peace of mind. Take care of yourself and come back safely."

"As for home, you don't have to worry about me. My workplace is close, and I have my sister and brother-in-law to take care of me. Director Feng, Chen Wenxuan will be there soon."

Director Feng was moved when he heard this. "The Party, the country and the people thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Wenxuan hugged Han Xiaojing tightly, "Thank you!"
