Qin Mu Wen was crying with a pale face while holding the baby carefully and gently rubbing the back to appease him.
Qin Mu Wen’s action was full of love and care, even if his face had no color on it.
Li Jin chuckled while readying the bed and said, “This child really loves you. When you hugged him, he had stopped crying.”
Li Jin tidied up the mattress and put it on the vacant side of the bed. He checked the thickness of the mattress for comfortable sleep.
Just one mattress was enough for making a comfortable bed, but it was still far away from the modern mattresses.
Li Jin asked Mu When, “What kind of bed do you like? Soft or Hard?”
Qin Mu Wen was left speechless for a while, before this Li Jin had never asked for his opinion.
Mu Wen asked to recheck in a very soft voice, “Me, you have asked me?”

After giving birth, Mu When looked more pale and thin. His voice was very soft, not like a woman’s voice but still, it had immense peace and tranquillity in it.
Li Jin didn’t laugh much, in his past life as a doctor he had to watch life and death regularly.
Many times he had to outline the cause of death of those patients and discuss it with other doctors.
He didn’t laugh or cry and always tried to maintain a stoic face while dealing with crying or laughing patients and their families.
Putting up a straight face had become an unconscious action of Li Jin. He didn’t even know when was the last time he had laughed.
But now watching this awkward boy caring for a baby, he smiled unconsciously.
Li Jin rubbed Mu Wen’s head and smilingly asked, “Whom do you think I have asked this? If not you then should I ask this child?”
After a while Mu Wen replied, “One is good.”
Li Jin knew there was one more mattress at the home, he could always add it if Mu Wen was uncomfortable.
Then he spread the clean bed-sheet on the bed and took the baby roughly from Qin Mu Wen’s arms as plucking the reddish from the field.

The child started crying immediately.
Qin Mu Wen was stunned. He was already scared that Li Jin wouldn’t like a brother as his child, even this baby was his first child.
But now glancing at Li Jin’s attitude he didn’t know what to think. Li Jun was neither excited nor acted detached from the child.
Li Jin bent and hugged Mu Wen’s back with one hand and with another hand on his knees then carried him to the other side of the bed, just like earlier when Mu Wen was troubled in giving birth.
During childbirth when Mu Wen was tortured by the labor pain, Li Jin had hugged him.
Mu Wen was able to hear Li Jin’s steady heartbeat and inhaled Li Jin’s cleanly bathed body smell.
Qin Mu Wen blushed while remembering the hug.
Li Jin asked Mu Wen to keep holding on to his neck when he wiped Mu Wen’s clean before placing him on the clean side of the bed.
There was no teasing in his actions, Li Jin was taking care of Mu When as a family member took care of the patient.
Li Jin hurriedly made the bed and then tightly covered Mu Wen with the quilt.
Li Jin asked, “Where do you put your clothes?”
Mu Wen only had two sets of clothes. He was wearing one set and the other set was in the closet.
Li Jin took the other set of clothes and changed Mu Wen in a clean set of clothes.
The trousers are clearly oversized, maybe it was adjusted to the pregnancy.
After changing the trousers of Mu Wen, Li Jin put the diaper on the baby. And then tightly wrapped the baby in some old clothes, to keep him warm.
Even though it’s summertime, a newborn baby must be kept warm all the time.
Li Jin squeezed both the father and the child under one quilt and folded the dirty quilt and the mattress.

Even though Li Jin knew how to cook and clean, but he had no talent in needlework.
Maybe this teenager would know how to wash this dirty quilt, but it’s better to not bother him.
Anyway, this quilt was very dirty, maybe he should discard it.
The two new mattresses he took from Li Daniu should be enough for now.
While lying comfortably under the covers, Qin Mu Wen thought about Li Jin, and from did Li Jin brought these mattresses.
Li Jin discarded useless stuff and went to the kitchen to tidy it up.
After cleaning everything, Li Jin tried to recall the ‘Maternity Care’ he had learned in medical school.
The state of the mother’s emotions was the most important thing in maternity care, as he recalled.
‘Postpartum depression’ was not a light thing.
When Li Jin came back to the room, he carefully looked at the newborn baby.
The child looked very cute with a red mole on his eyebrows.
Qin Mu Wen wasn’t asleep, when Li Jin came he blinked at him.
While casually sitting on the bed’s edge, Li Jin asked him, “Are you feeling cold?”
Mu Wen looked at Li Jin and shook his head.
Li Jin again asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
This time, Mu Wen shook his head and also added in a low voice, “No.”
“If you are feeling any pain, you have to tell me. Ok.”
The teenager opened his mouth as if he wanted to tell Li Jin something, but in the en,d he didn’t speak, more like he didn’t dare to speak.

At the same time, some memories like photos flashed by Li Jin’s head.
“Husband? Are you worthy of calling me your husband?”
The youth was kneeling on the ground while sobbing, and said, “I was wrong. I won’t dare, never again.”
But the youth was still punched and kicked.
It took a while for Li Jin to come out of the shock, he didn’t dare to imagine how hard this youth had persisted to live till now.
Li Jin looked at Qin Mu Wen and said, “I am Li Jin. Li for dawn, and Jin for bright future. You can call me Li Jin or their husband, whatever you want. “
Li Jin didn’t say sorry for the past two years of trauma this boy had faced.
He knew a verbal apology meant nothing after hurting someone. He should show his apology through his actions to make up for the hurt the original owner gave this teenager.
After a while, a clear voice sounded in the room, “A’Jin.”
After speaking this name, the boy buried himself in the quilt.
Qin Mu Wen didn’t dare to see Li Jin’s reaction. He had no courage to call Li Jin, ‘Husband’. He felt like the current Li Jin was different from the previous one, so he didn’t want to call him by the previous name.
He didn’t want to call him wrongly and anger Li Jin.
Li Jin chuckled and said, “I like this name.”
After hearing this reply, Mu Wen’s tense nerve relaxed and soon he fell asleep.
Li Jin looked around the room, he found the room was about a dozen square meters. Beside the wooden bed, there was only a small cabinet present in the room.
The cabinet looked expensive probably it was the most expensive thing in the room.
There were no other cabinet or closet present in the room other than the two bamboo baskets. One was for dirty clothes, and another was for miscellaneous things.
Li Jin found a soap on the window still, which he could to wash the dirty clothes.
Li Jin found seven-eight copper plates hidden in the bottom of the dirty clothes basket. Maybe the boy had hidden them from the original owner.
Li Ji didn’t touch those plates and left for washing those dirty clothes first.
After Li Jin saw a glimpse of how the original owner had interacted with the boy, he guessed, he would soon remember the name of the youth too.
He couldn’t ask his name directly otherwise the boy might doubt him.
Li Jin didn’t know that the original owner had never asked for the boy’s name.
The original owner had always considered the boy as a dispensable object, then why would he waste his time to know the name of a ger.
When Li Jin was coming back by the ox-cart, he saw some women walking with tubs towards the river.
He packed the washing soap, tub, washboard, and dirty clothes. And set off to wash them in the river.
