Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 803: Chapter 804: So You’ve Accepted Your Fate

”However, husband,” An Jing said with a laugh, ”I’ve noticed that among our four children, calling out ’Dad’ comes so naturally, but calling ’Mom’ seems much harder for them. It’s obvious they like you a little more.”

”You’re wrong,” Xiao Changyi said, using only those three words and refused to elaborate what An Jing was wrong about before he went silent.

But An Jing understood and chuckled, ”Yes, yes, I’m wrong. The children love me just as much as they love you. No, they love me even more, and you, Dad, can only rank second. Is that better?”

Xiao Changyi actually nodded, ”Hmm.”

As he spoke, Xiao Changyi put An Yiyun back on the ground, then gestured with his hand towards An Jing, signaling An Yiyun to go find her.

And An Yiyun actually toddled over to An Jing, looking particularly happy.

Xiao Changyi also encouraged Su Yi Jing, Su Yixing, and An Yiqing to go find An Jing, and seeing Xiao Changyi pointing at her, indeed they all went over to her.

The four little ones approached the stove and all looked up with their little faces, calling out to An Jing with great joy, ”Mom... Mom... Mom...”

Xiao Changyi walked over, crouched next to the four little ones, and taught them, ”Say ’Good mom.’”

Instantly, in their baby voices, they parroted what Xiao Changyi had taught them, calling out to An Jing, ”Mom... good... Good mom... Good mom...”

An Jing was over the moon. Her husband was spoiling her to the skies along with the children~

After the dishes had been washed, An Jing and Xiao Changyi led the four children out of the kitchen.

Then, while the children played on the open ground in the courtyard, An Jing and Xiao Changyi sat in a chair on the side, watching.

Watching the children at play, An Jing couldn’t help but reflect out loud, ”Husband, the children have grown up so fast.”

”Hmm.”

”Doesn’t time fly by quickly?”

”Hmm.”

”Do you still yearn for our time alone together?”

”Yes!”

”Haha—” An Jing burst into laughter. Once she finally managed to stop laughing, she continued, ”I think in the future, we can’t really have our time alone completely. We do have four children, after all. We can’t expect all four of them to stay away from home and not see us, right? But as the children grow day by day, they won’t need us as they do now, and we should have more and more time to ourselves.”

”Hmm.”

Back when he learned his wife was pregnant, he knew that a complete world of just the two of them was impossible. Even though he still very much wished he could have his wife to himself every day, he was able to accept this fact.

Seeing that Xiao Changyi wasn’t as resistant as before and obviously could accept that they wouldn’t be able to have their world to themselves in the future, An Jing immediately praised him, ”Husband, you’ve made progress.”

Xiao Changyi lightly corrected, ”It’s not progress, it’s a lack of choice.” He couldn’t just stuff the children back into her belly, after all.

Understanding the deeper meaning in her husband’s words, An Jing was amused all over again, ”So you’ve resigned yourself to it.”

Xiao Changyi remained silent, just looking at her with a softness in his eyes that only appeared when he looked at her.

An Jing felt sweetness in her heart, ”Husband, it’s really nice like this.” She paused for a moment. ”Wuyu told me the last time that Youbao promised to marry only her for life. She said she didn’t ask Youbao to swear an oath and that Youbao swore by himself that if he ever betrayed her, he would die with blood flowing from all seven orifices. Honestly, I’m quite happy for Wuyu.”
