Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to leave, but seeing that her sister-in-law had to take care of three children by herself and was too tired from going back and forth, she stayed to help take care of the children.

Li Xiaoxiao stayed at the guesthouse and bought groceries every morning to take care of Shen Qiaoyue during her postpartum period.

Initially, the people in the family compound thought that Li Xiaoxiao was not easy to get along with because of the scars on her face and her particularly aloof demeanor. When they saw her, they would greet her but then dare not communicate with her.

Grandma Zhao and Li Xiaoxiao went grocery shopping together and chatted while holding their child in the family compound.

Once they got to know her and learned that Li Xiaoxiao was also a heroine, the women in the family compound suddenly became much more respectful of her.

Everyone was deeply moved after hearing Li Xiaoxiao's story.

Li Xiaoxiao stayed at the guesthouse for ten days, and then Shen Qiaoyue invited her to stay at her home. Later, Liu Xinlan also invited Li Xiaoxiao to stay at their home.

Lu Chen had been in confinement for more than half a month before his leave of absence was finally approved.

One night, Xiang Shulan had severe stomach pain and was taken to the hospital.

She was in pain for a long time but couldn't give birth, and in the end, she had to have an episiotomy to deliver the baby.

It was a baby girl weighing six pounds.

Zhang Dali held the child, his smile wide and joyful.

Shen Qiaoyue and Xiang Shulan were pregnant around the same time, and their delivery times were also similar.

At night, Chu Wanfang would stay at Shen Qiaoyue's house to keep her company because she was worried about her.

Lu Chen had to live separately; he lived in the storage room next to the kitchen.

During her postpartum confinement, Shen Qiaoyue found it to be torture, as she was not allowed to wash her hair or take a bath.

Chu Wanfang said this could easily lead to postpartum illnesses.

Liu Xinlan told Shen Qiaoyue that as long as she was quick and didn't catch a cold, she would be fine.

Lu Chen had Qian Luoshui send Chu Wanfang away, and then heated a lot of hot water for Shen Qiaoyue to bathe. After the bath, she was dressed in thicker clothes and socks.

I closed the windows and doors, washed Shen Qiaoyue's hair, and borrowed a hairdryer to dry it.

Chu Wanfang returned just as she finished washing up.

He scolded Shen Qiaoyue, but then lovingly made her chicken soup.

Shen Qiaoyue completed her entire postpartum period amidst both scolding and care.

The topic of bathing and washing hair during postpartum confinement is often brought up unintentionally.

She knew it was her mother's concern, but Shen Qiaoyue was getting impatient with all the nagging.

Lu Chen and Qian Luoshui often mediated between them, otherwise they would really get angry.

Li Xiaoxiao was good to Shen Qiaoyue, helping her cook and wash the children's clothes every day. After the children had eaten and slept well, she would take them out for a walk.

After finishing her postpartum confinement, Shen Qiaoyue walked out of her room and looked up at the sky.

Take a deep breath.

"What fresh air!" Shen Qiaoyue really loved freedom.

Although Shen Qiaoyue was happy with her family and children, she lost her original freedom.

Ever since the child was born, I haven't been able to eat anything.

She also had little breast milk, so she fed her child formula and breast milk together. Her elderly mother stood by, saying that for the sake of the child, she couldn't eat this or that.

This made Shen Qiaoyue feel very depressed.

"Take advantage of the good sunshine and when the child isn't fussing, go take a bath first. After you're done, I'll wash your hair." Lu Chen brought two buckets of hot water from the kitchen. "Don't take too long in the bath, or Mom will start nagging you when she gets back."

"Okay, I know?" Shen Qiaoyue went inside to get her clothes and quickly went to take a shower.

Lu Chen boiled a lot of hot water, all for Shen Qiaoyue to bathe and wash her hair.

While Shen Qiaoyue was taking a bath, Lu Chen was washing clothes in the yard.

Even the clothes, bed sheets, and duvet covers were all taken out and washed thoroughly.

They were left to dry in the yard.

The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Lu Chen stood up, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

"Uncle Lu Chen, are you washing your younger brother and sister's clothes?" Xu Xiaosi ran in happily and asked Lu Chen.

"Yeah, Xiaosi, aren't you in class today?" Lu Chen asked Xu Xiaosi curiously.

Xu Xiaosi said, "That's right, the school has suspended classes, and we don't know where the principal and teachers have gone."

Lu Chen seemed to understand, and he changed the subject, asking, "Then where did your aunt go?"

“My little brother isn’t feeling well, so Mom and Dad took him to the hospital for a checkup,” Xu Xiaosi replied truthfully. Then she asked, “Uncle Lu Chen, can you ask Aunt Chen if I can see my little brother Danian and little sister Xiaonian?”

“Sure, they’re all under the big tree up ahead. Grandma Xiaoxiao is chatting with Grandma Zhao while holding them. You can go and take a look,” Lu Chen said gently to Xu Xiaosi.

Xu Xiaosi turned her head and looked ahead; there really were a lot of people chatting there.

"Uncle Lu Chen, I'll go check on my younger brother and sister," Xu Xiaosi said again.

“Go ahead,” Lu Chen nodded.

Xu Xiaosi happily walked forward.

She loves playing with children, especially when they're not crying; they're so adorable.

She likes to talk to her younger brother, who responds by waving his hands.

Today, my aunt and uncle took my brother, who wasn't feeling well, to the hospital for a checkup, and she was very bored by herself.

When Shen Qiaoyue came out of the shower, Lu Chen was already carrying a bucket of hot water, ready to wash her hair at any moment.

"Let's go to the living room, I'll wash your hair," Lu Chen said again.

"Lu Chen, you are so considerate to me, I am so happy!" When Shen Qiaoyue was in confinement after childbirth, Lu Chen took care of her the whole time, without complaint.

Upon hearing Shen Qiaoyue's words, Lu Chen said, "You're my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"

Shen Qiaoyue went through life-or-death ordeals and gave birth to two children for him.

"Then I'll treat you better from now on," Shen Qiaoyue said happily as she walked into the room.
