They would be gone for over ten days, so the food at home needed to be stored properly. They couldn't let the mice get to it.
"Don't worry, I'll handle the rest. You take the kids to bed," Tang Zhicheng said. "We have to wake up early tomorrow to catch the train. If they sleep in, they won't get up."
Ye Fangfei put the rice and flour into a large jar, covering it with a lid and weighing it down with a stone. She looked at the ham hanging on the wall, pondering where to store it.
"You're right," she thought. The kids would definitely sleep in if they stayed up too late, so she said, "Alright, I'll take them to bed first. You take down the ham and find a place for it. We can't let the mice gnaw on it."
"I got it, you go ahead," Tang Zhicheng replied.
"Girls and boys, it's time to sleep with Mommy," Ye Fangfei called out after washing her hands.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy! I want to play a little longer!" Little Moon protested as she played with her brother in the living room.
"I'm not sleeping! I'm not sleeping!" Little Sun chimed in, though his words were still jumbled; his meaning was clear.
"No way, it's too late. Time for bed," Ye Fangfei insisted as she pulled them both to wash their hands and feet.
The two children cooperated, but even after washing their feet and getting onto the bed, they still wouldn't sleep and continued to giggle and play around. They were particularly excited knowing they would be taking a train back home the next day.
Usually, by this time, they would have been sleepy. Even if Ye Fangfei tried to make them lie down under the covers, they would still chatter away playfully.
After several attempts to quiet them down failed, Ye Fangfei finally raised her voice at them. The two children were startled and stopped their antics.
"Alright, no more playing! If you keep this up, I won't take you with me tomorrow," she warned, feeling frustrated by their mischief.
Despite their small size, children can read people's expressions well. Seeing their mother's displeasure made them behave.
Ye Fangfei maintained her stern demeanor and ignored them for a while until they eventually fell asleep. Once she saw they were settled in, she tucked them in and turned to go to bed herself.
Ye Fangfei was tired after a long day of work and then packing things up in the evening.
Early the next morning, Tang Zhicheng and Ye Fangfei got up.
"Let's keep it simple. I'll fry a few eggs, and then we'll each have a bowl of noodles. You go ahead and pack the instant noodles and tea eggs; we'll eat them on the train," Ye Fangfei suggested.
Tang Zhicheng was someone who followed orders in all actions; whatever his wife asked him to do, he would do without hesitation.
"Alright, I'll pack a few more bags of instant noodles. Just in case the kids aren't used to the food from home, they can have these instead," Tang Zhicheng said, looking at the nearly ten bags of instant noodles.
"Sure, why not just pack them all? I remember there are only about ten left," Ye Fangfei replied.
"Oh, and there's some fried noodles in the cupboard; you should pack a bag of those too. It's hard to steam egg custard for our son on the train, but if he gets hungry, a bowl of fried noodles will be both tasty and filling," she added.
Tang Zhicheng nodded, "Got it. I'll pack the tea eggs in a lunchbox to avoid crushing them."
The two worked together; Ye Fangfei finished cooking while Tang Zhicheng packed everything up.
Then they naturally took turns waking up their children. Ye Fangfei went to call Xiao Yueying, while Tang Zhicheng dressed their son.
This was how they usually operated. Since both had to work, relying on just one person would surely lead to chaos. So as long as Tang Zhicheng was home, they each took responsibility for one child.
