The next morning, Lu Ting washed his face and went out before dawn. It was a rare three-day holiday, so Su Yan did not get up with Lu Ting.

Maybe it was because she didn’t set the alarm clock or because she was pregnant, but Su Yan slept until ten o’clock. She was only woken up by Lu Yiming who got up and knocked hard on their door.

Su Yan casually put on her coat and walked out of the space. When she opened the door, she saw her son standing barefoot at the door, shivering. Not only was he not wearing a coat, he wasn't even wearing a sweater, and there was a large wet spot on his leggings.

"Did you pee on the bed? Come in quickly."

Su Yan pulled Lu Yiming towards her room, picked him up in the air, pulled off his pants and threw him into the quilt.

"Mom, I got up to drink some water this morning and accidentally spilled it on my pants. It wasn't bed-wetting..."

"Well, you didn't wet the bed, it was the baby in your belly who peed. Okay, lie down and don't move. I'll prepare some hot water for you to take a bath first. After the bath, I'll change you into new clothes."

Originally, Su Yan planned to wait until after the New Year's Eve dinner before giving her son a bath to prevent him from getting his clothes dirty. However, this guy overslept this morning and wet the bed.

Su Yan ran to the next room and checked the child's bed first. She found that not only was a large area of ​​the bedding underneath wet, but a corner of the quilt was also wet.

The bed could be made later. First, she needed to find clothes for her son and give him a bath. Worried that he might catch a cold, Su Yan took the initiative to help him bathe, change him into clean clothes, and put on a pair of long-sleeved gowns.

"Yiming, go to grandma's house and ask your dad to get you some food. Mom will clean up your room and come over later."

"Mom, can I not wear these long-sleeved shirts? They don't look good on my clothes anymore."

Su Yan knew that her son loved to show off, but it was easy to get his clothes dirty without wearing sleeves, so she wanted him to wear this new coat for two more days.

"No, you can't take off your sleeves to avoid staining your clothes. It's cold, so you can change your fur hat and wear a woolen hat today."

She put a blue cartoon woolen hat on Lu Yiming, a scarf of the same color around his neck, and stuffed a pair of colorful gloves into his hands.

"Go ahead, your grandma is probably frying meatballs right now."

When he heard about fried meatballs, Lu Yiming stuffed his gloves into his pocket and ran out.

Su Yan returned to her room, took off the mattress and quilt covers one by one, threw them into the space, and put them in the fully automatic washing machine to wash.

Looking at the yellowed old quilt that smelled of urine on the bed, Su Yan threw it back into the space, took out a red blanket from her clothes and spread it on the bed. Worried that the child would wet the bed, she put two baby changing pads in the middle of the blanket and then put a sheet on top.

There was no time to sew the quilt cover today, so she had to roll up the bare quilt and take out a ready-made thick quilt from the space.

After tidying up her son's room, Su Yan took the clothes he took off after bathing into the space and washed them in another washing machine.

After she finished cleaning the house and took out the clothes and bedding from the washing machine to hang out to dry, she realized how quickly time had passed and it was already half past eleven.

She took out her family's New Year's goods and dishes from the space and put them away one by one, in case Lu Yu and the others came to play in the afternoon and found that there was nothing at home.

She was busy until twelve o'clock when she finally finished. Her stomach suddenly rumbled and she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to have breakfast.

She took out a large bag of hot pot ingredients from the refrigerator, which included mud-covered pig mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, bamboo fungus and bitter chrysanthemum, as well as five pounds of thawed beef balls.

I locked the door and went to Lu's house. I saw a big copper pot on the table. As I guessed, they were having venison hotpot for lunch.

Su Yan went to the kitchen and saw Lu Ting washing spinach and cilantro, so she handed him the bag. "Lu Ting, I brought some mushrooms and beef balls, but these mushrooms haven't been processed yet. Slice the shiitake mushrooms and tear the Hericium erinaceus into small strips."

"Okay, you put it here and I'll take care of it. It's cold, you go warm yourself by the fire first, and then we can have dinner after mom finishes cooking."

Lu Jin, who was cutting venison, also advised: "Yes, sister-in-law, you should go and warm yourself by the fire first."

Su Yan took a look into the steaming pot and found it was braised duck with ginger. If they had duck for lunch, they would definitely have chicken for dinner. The more she looked at it, the hungrier she got. She decided to go outside and wait.

Another advantage of being pregnant is that you don’t have to work and there are people who care about you. As soon as I returned to the hall, Chen Yuhe made a cup of honey water and brought it to me.

"Sister-in-law, you must be exhausted. Yiming said your family washes the quilts."

Su Yan took the teacup and said with a smile: "That boy overslept early and made the bedding dirty. We have to wash it."

Chen Yuhe smiled. It turned out that Yiming had wet the bed. Fortunately, Yilan slept with her parents-in-law, so she didn't have to wash the bedding even if he wet the bed.

"Sister-in-law, since I drink this brown sugar honey water every day, my hands and feet are no longer cold."

"Then you keep drinking."

"I don't know when I'll get pregnant. It would be great if I could have twins like my sister-in-law did."

"You'll have children eventually, don't be impatient and take your time."

"I heard from mom that my sister-in-law is pregnant again. I guess you two will have a baby together then."

Lu Shu is pregnant again? I didn't expect her to be so determined to have a son and refuse to listen to advice.

Su Yan suspected that if she gave birth to a daughter as the fourth child, she would probably give birth to a son as the fifth child.

I don’t know if there is any heir to the throne in her family. Why would she give birth to so many sons?

After two days of feasting and drinking on the first day of the 30th lunar month, Lu Ting drove Su Yan and Lu Yiming to the city to pay New Year's greetings to his parents-in-law. They didn't return to the Lu family until after five in the evening.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Lu Shu chasing after her beloved son Qin Siming to feed him. Qin Xue, wearing the flowery cotton-padded jacket that Qin Shuang wore during the Chinese New Year last year, followed her father like a little quail. She dodged Su Yan and Lu Ting and didn't dare to come forward to say hello.

Su Yan sighed slightly and asked Lu Ting to quickly give red envelopes to them, the siblings.

When Qin Shuang heard Su Yan mention giving out red envelopes, she immediately ran to Lu Ting and shouted, "Uncle, congratulations on your prosperity."

Lu Ting gently ruffled his eldest niece's hair, took out a five-yuan red envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Go play!"

"Thank you, uncle."

Qin Siming saw his sister get the red envelope and ran over. While biting the crispy meat, he said, "May uncle be rich."

Lu Ting smiled and handed the red envelope out, waving to Lu Xue. Lu Shu nudged Qin Xue, who was hiding behind her husband, and said, "Xiaoxue, your uncle is calling you. Come and wish him a happy new year."

Qin Xue blushed and whispered New Year's greetings to Lu Ting and Su Yan, "May my uncle be rich, and my aunt be rich." She took the red envelope from Lu Ting and handed it to her mother.

Su Yan felt pity. This child became more and more timid as she grew up. If Lu Shu gave birth to a boy as a fourth child, she would probably become a nobody in the Qin family, right?
