Shen Yunfang brought the children home and then it was time to arrange their sleeping quarters.
With merely the children arriving, she couldn't let the three kids stay by themselves in the courtyard house side. She needed to keep an eye on them, so the bed in the study wasn't enough for all the kids. In the end, Shitou and Shuanzi slept in the study, and Jiajia slept in the master bedroom with Shen Yunfang.
Having arranged a place for the children to stay, she simply cooked them some noodles, adhering to the saying, "Dumplings for boarding, noodles for alighting," to tide them over a bit. Letting them take a nap first, they could eat something better in the evening.
As it turned out, the children had no objections to eating noodles and held their bowls, eating without looking up or opening their eyes. No, that's not right. Shuanzi did look up to say, "Auntie, these noodles taste so good. Can I have more this evening?"
