Honey, I'd Need to Have That Function Too
After breakfast, Lin Yi and the others set off for Magic City First Maternity Hospital.
Since both babies' birth information had been registered at this hospital, they didn't go to their own.
At the hospital, Su Wanqing led the group to the vaccination area.
They had thought they were early enough, but they were stunned to see the corridor full of people holding babies.
"Honey~ There are so many babies getting vaccinated today."
"Yeah. We're in no hurry, so let's wait."
There were seats in the hospital corridor, but with so many parents there, not a single one was free.
Lin Yi had thought the three of them were already a sizeable group to bring the babies for their shots, but when he saw four generations of a family together up ahead, he felt their group was nothing by comparison.
Fortunately, they had brought the stroller today. Otherwise, there was no telling how long they would have to wait.
The two little ones had been awake since morning and still hadn't slept.
As the little ones grew, they spent less and less time sleeping. Before long, they might even be crawling.
"Wah~"
"Mmm~"
"Hey~"
Tangtang's dark eyes darted back and forth. Seemingly aware that she was somewhere new, she happily waved her little fair, tender hands.
If Tangtang knew she was here for a shot, who knew whether she would still be so happy?
Beside her, Yuanyuan was a little more well-behaved than Tangtang, though his little eyes darted back and forth as he watched all sorts of people in the corridor.
Apparently, lying down didn't give him a good enough view, and the little fellow began babbling, "Wah, wah."
"Wah~"
"Mmm~"
"Hoo~"
Seeing Yuanyuan so lively, Su Wanqing couldn't help beaming.
"Yuanyuan, do you want Mommy to hold you?"
"Hoo~"
"Mmm~"
Yuanyuan babbled and kept reaching up with his little hands. He seemed to want to be in his mother's arms.
Seeing this, Su Wanqing bent down with a smile. "Come on, Mommy will hold you."
"Wah~"
Yuanyuan was happy to see the world outside. He seemed to love going out.
His little eyes darted back and forth, and whenever someone passed through the corridor, Yuanyuan's gaze was drawn to them.
Looking at the wailing baby surrounded by four generations of family up ahead, Lin Yi was gratified to see how well-behaved his own son was.
Their child had come to collect a debt, while Lin Yi's children had come to repay a kindness.
With Yuanyuan no longer beside her, Tangtang waved her arms and legs in the stroller. Perhaps her brother's presence had been holding her back just now.
The line moved quickly, and before long, the space behind Lin Yi had filled up with baby daddies and baby mommies too.
The closer they got to the front, the more clearly they could hear babies crying, probably because they were getting their shots.
Yuanyuan grew tense in Su Wanqing's arms. He seemed to sense a hint of danger and began to squirm.
"Wahh-wahh-"
A baby's cries came from the examination room, and Yuanyuan burst into tears like floodwaters released from a dam, becoming impossible to calm down.
Because Yuanyuan was a boy, he had a loud voice, and the other babies in the area started crying along with him.
The baby daddies and baby mommies were at a loss as they watched their children cry their hearts out.
Tangtang, lying in the stroller, was very good at reading the room. Seeing all the other babies crying, she seemed to feel it wouldn't be right if she didn't cry too.
"Boo-hoo-boo-hoo-"
Seeing Tangtang suddenly start crying in the stroller, Lin Yi hurriedly picked her up.
"Good girl, Tangtang, don't cry, don't cry."
"Daddy's here, Daddy's here."
Beside him, Su Wanqing was also doing her best to comfort Yuanyuan. Once the little fellow had settled down, he listened to the cries around him and giggled.
He seemed surprised that so many babies had cried along with him.
"Hee-hee~"
Yuanyuan looked quite pleased with others' misfortune, while Tangtang was soothed after a few fake sobs.
Even Lin Yi felt that his daughter was playing him.
Beside them, Zhang Meilan adored the lively brother and sister.
Having cared for so many babies, she felt that the two little ones seemed smarter than the others.
The line moved quickly, and every baby who came out wailed at the top of their lungs.
As their turn approached, Su Wanqing began to worry about Yuanyuan. Children were afraid of pain, after all.
Seeing the worry on Su Wanqing's face, Lin Yi comforted her. "Honey, don't worry. The shot will be over quickly."
"At worst, you can reward our good son with a couple more mouthfuls of his rations."
The corners of Lin Yi's mouth turned up, but Su Wanqing rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph~ He's your son too. How come I'm the one rewarding him? What about you?"
"Honey, I'd need to have that function too."
Lin Yi pulled a face. It really wasn't that he didn't want to!
Su Wanqing laughed happily at his answer, and the worry on her face vanished. At worst, she could do as Lin Yi said and reward Yuanyuan with a few extra mouthfuls of milk.
Tangtang was a clever little thing. She seemed to sense that Mommy was going to reward her brother and felt it was a little unfair.
She flapped her little hands toward Su Wanqing, and even Lin Yi was having trouble holding on to her.
"Good girl, do you want to go to Mommy?"
"Wah~"
"Then Daddy will be sad."
"Mmm~"
"Eh~"
Tangtang paid Lin Yi no attention at all and kept reaching her little hands toward Su Wanqing.
The innocent little girl thought that if Su Wanqing held her, she would get her rations, so she reached even harder.
Su Wanqing was especially happy to see this. Tangtang was actually coming to her of her own accord.
Baby daddies and baby mommies also cared a great deal about which of them their children liked more.
Su Wanqing was very pleased with herself. She said with a grin, "Honey, did you see that? Our good daughter and son both like me a little more."
"Tangtang, Daddy will be very sad if you leave."
Lin Yi put on a miserable expression, but you couldn't wake someone pretending to sleep, and you couldn't keep someone who wanted to leave. Besides, his physical hardware had already lost him the contest.
With no other choice, Su Wanqing and Lin Yi swapped babies.
Tangtang finally got her wish and ended up in Su Wanqing's arms. It looked like she could have a few extra mouthfuls of her rations tonight.
The little girl was very happy, but Lin Yi wasn't. His little cotton-padded jacket was letting in the wind.
"Hoo~"
"Hoo~"
"Hoo~"
Lin Yi was already in a bad mood, and now Yuanyuan, in his arms, blew a few puffs of air at him.
The wind was already getting in, and Yuanyuan was adding frost to snow.
For a moment, his heart felt stifled, while Su Wanqing was overjoyed.
Sure enough, human joys and sorrows were not shared.
Meanwhile, a voice came from the vaccination room. "Baby number 66, please enter the hepatitis B vaccination room."
Hearing the number called, Su Wanqing carried Tangtang inside.
Lin Yi was anxious too. He craned his neck and peered in from the doorway, thinking that only one baby could go in at a time.
The young nurse saw Lin Yi looking around and said, "Daddy, it won't be your turn for a while yet. Don't crowd around while another baby is getting a shot."
Lin Yi frowned deeply, caught between laughter and tears. "That's my daughter."
The young nurse looked embarrassed. There were two babies, as it turned out, and she had really made a fool of herself. She quickly smiled and said, "Then come in together."
