This time when Lu Zhanguo left, Gu Xiaobei, because of the daily company of the two children, did not find life unbearable. Instead, she felt that there was not enough time.
When Aunt Wang had to go back to the village to harvest autumn crops, Gu Xiaobei was even more like a spinning top. Fortunately, after being neglected by Gu Xiaobei several times, Xiaopang became well-behaved and no longer required holding as soon as he woke up. So after feeding the children, Gu Xiaobei would let the two children lie on the kang while she seized the time to wash their diapers and clothes and cook. If the children slept, she would squeeze out some time to translate manuscripts.
The time passed busy and fulfilling, Gu Xiaobei's only worry was that when the children got a bit older and started to rollover or crawl, she would need someone there at all times. That is when she would feel truly spread thin.
