Li Xue was very worried about her son.

Infants and toddlers are easily startled; taking care of children is not an easy task.

Looking back on when I first started taking care of my child, I was practically going crazy.

At the slightest disturbance, the brat would start wailing, and his cries were so loud that the couple didn't even dare to breathe loudly for a while.

"Mom, Sweetie is such a good girl, she loves me so much, she smiles whenever she sees me, I would never make her cry!"

Su Xuemin rushed out, argued his case once more, and then went back to his room to sleep.

He's the eldest brother, so his younger sister has to like him the most and listen to him from now on.

Taking advantage of Su Xuebo and the others' clumsiness, he sneaked in to take a look, and his sister was indeed very happy to see him.

He was naturally indignant when his mother scolded him, but he couldn't fight city hall, so he had to run faster to avoid being scolded.

Li Xue was so angry she laughed, but she really couldn't do anything about this naughty kid.

She went inside and asked shyly in a low voice, "Mom, A-Luo, did I disturb you?"

Liu Xiaohua smiled and shook her head: "No, Tiantian is very smart, she likes it very much."

No woman wouldn't like a well-behaved boy who doesn't cry.

A child's crying can be very annoying, while a child's smiling face can be very comforting.

It's normal for newborns to cry a lot; what's precious is a well-behaved newborn.

"Sweetie, Su Sweetie?"

Li Xue read the name aloud, then smiled and said, "It's a sweet name; calling her is like eating candy."

“A-Luo named it herself, and the child likes it very much. She responds as soon as you call her name. I think she's as smart as three people.”

Liu Xiaohua smiled gently.

Su Tiantian looked at Li Xue, who was her aunt.

"Ah~"

Su Tiantian spoke in a childlike voice to Li Xue, which Li Xue found quite endearing.

She couldn't help but reach out and hug Su Tiantian from Liu Xiaohua's arms.

"Sweetie, I'm your aunt."

Li Xue doesn't object to raising the child; in fact, she likes her more and more now. If Su Luo remarries in the future, she will raise the child as her own daughter, which would make up for not having a daughter herself.

Su Tiantian yawned. She gets sleepy easily these days; she can't stay awake for long after opening her eyes before wanting to go to sleep.

"A-Luo, Tian-Tian is going to sleep now, so you two should get some rest."

Li Xue gently put Su Tiantian down.

With Liu Xiaohua around, there's nothing to worry about, especially since Su Tiantian is such an angelic baby.

When she got hungry at night, she would open her mouth and make a "woof" sound, and Su Luo would wake up and feed her.

After eating, Liu Xiaohua will check her diaper, change it, and then continue sleeping.

The thunder and rain subsided overnight, but the sky remained overcast.

The men were still asleep, while Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei were mending fishing nets.

The little ones ate breakfast and then went out to play.

Liu Xiaohua packed up the clothes and went to wash them.

Su Luo fell asleep peacefully to the sound of the washing mallet. It was as if she had returned to the time before she got married, the only difference being that she had also become a mother.

As noon approached, Su Dahai, Su Chenggong, and Su Chengguo woke up, unsurprisingly, with sore muscles all over his body.

Drink ginger water like regular water.

Liu Xiaohua also took the medicinal wine to massage Su Dahai.

Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo were both rubbing medicinal wine in their own rooms.

We ate chicken again for lunch, and in the afternoon Su Dahai went to the village to register with the village chief.

They need to issue some certificates to register Su Tiantian's household registration.

Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo both went for a walk in the field and cut some bamboo to bring back.

To tidy up an empty house, you naturally need to make some usable furniture. If you don't have wood, you can use woven bamboo.

As time went by, Su Luo's complexion improved.

She returned in a disheveled state ten days ago, her heart filled with unease.

A dozen days later, her complexion was rosy and she had a smile on her face.

Su Tiantian changes every day. She was beautiful from birth, and now she is fair-skinned, tender, and chubby.

Everyone in the family loves to hold her.

Su Luo didn't eat inside the house; she ate in the kitchen.

Su Tiantian was held in Su Dahai's arms, her eyes fixed on the food on the table.

Ah...meat, meat.

This filefish looks so tender and fragrant, I really want to eat it.

"Poor baby, we'll have to wait several months to eat it."

Su Dahai couldn't get enough of looking at the child; he could see so many emotions on the child's face—it was truly fascinating.

Especially their jet-black eyes, which look very intelligent, and when they blink their big eyes it's as if they can talk.

Su Dahai wanted to hug her whenever he had a spare moment.

It really hurts to see her craving meat, but her baby isn't even a month old yet, so I can't give it to her no matter how much she craves it.

"I'm done eating, please take me out."

Liu Xiaohua smiled, wiped her mouth, and then carried Su Tiantian out.

The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly, and the sunlight at eight o'clock is gentle, perfect for letting the kids get some sun.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, please be careful when you go out to sea."

It's a beautiful day, and the father and his two sons, who have had so many days of rest, are going out to sea.

The boat has been repaired and the fishing nets have been mended. They are fishermen, and they always rely on the sea for their livelihood.

I was terrified after surviving a near-death experience at sea, but I've recovered after a long time.

"Don't worry, we'll just fish in the shallow water."

Neither of my sons wanted to go to the deep sea, so we didn't go too far.

One cannot simply sit idly by and live off one's savings. Since the weather is good and one goes out to sea every day, there is bound to be some profit.

Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei were going to go beachcombing, so she went along with them.

Su Luo also wanted to go, but Liu Xiaohua pulled her back into the house and said, "Go back to your room and rest. You're still in your postpartum period."

Su Luo knew her mother meant well, so she obediently went back to her room.

In the past few days, Liu Xiaohua has used some folk remedies to help Su Luo absorb the cold air from her body.

Liu Xiaohua was afraid that Su Luo would suffer from postpartum complications, so she would never let Su Luo go out in the wind until she was out of confinement.

“Sweetie wants to go out too, but that won’t work. You have to wait until your mother finishes her postpartum confinement.”

Liu Xiaohua glanced down and saw that Su Tiantian in her arms was also staring in the direction of the gate. She couldn't help but smile.

Su Tiantian sighed slightly. She knew what beachcombing was—it meant finding food by the sea.

She had seen it in Su Luo's memory, walking along the coastline, or digging in the sand.

That sounds interesting; she wants to go too.

But she was still a baby, and her mother was still in postpartum confinement, so neither of them could go.

Sunbathing felt so good that she soon became sleepy.

Seeing that the child was asleep, Liu Xiaohua carried him back into the room and gently put him down.

"Sweetie is asleep. Don't keep doing things. If you can't sleep, lie down and rest."

Liu Xiaohua saw Su Luo sewing shoe soles and simply took the bag away.

Su Luo couldn't stay idle, she knew that, but this was an unusual situation, and even if she couldn't stay idle, she had to.

"Mom, I'm really not tired!"

Su Luo really wanted to do something for her family. She couldn't cook, do laundry, sweep the floor, or feed the chickens, so she thought of making shoe soles for her family.

"We'll do it later."

Liu Xiaohua took them all without saying a word; she had things to do at home too.

No one mentioned the Yi family's matter again, but they all kept the grudge in their hearts.

...

Meanwhile, after watching their fishing boat sail away, Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei, the two sisters-in-law, joined the clam-digging team.
