People in the compound all said Wang Cuilan was lucky. Born in the countryside with only a middle school education, she was able to marry one of the most capable young men in their compound, thus a...
When Xie Zheng was not back, Aunt An lived in Wang Cuilan's house to make it easier to take care of the children.
Now that Xie Zheng is back, Aunt An naturally moved to the next room to sleep.
In fact, according to Wang Cuilan's idea, Aunt An should continue to sleep in their room, and Xie Zheng could just sleep in the next room.
So as to avoid going back and forth.
But Xie Zheng disagreed!
And her reason was very convincing. "I only have so much time at home. If I don't seize the time to cultivate relationships with my children, will they kiss me in the future?"
At this time, Wang Cuilan sneered, "Who said before that it was just the two of us and we didn't want children?"
Wang Cuilan crossed her arms and glared at him, "Xie Zheng, what do you think your current behavior is? Are you going back on your word or are you contradicting yourself?"
Xie Zheng: “…”
It has been three days since Xie Zheng returned to the village. During these three days, Xie Zheng has focused all his attention on Wang Cuilan and her three children.
As for the others? I really don't remember.
At the west end of the village, in a shabby room, Gu Pan complained with a stern face, "Xi Chao, you said our son has been back in the village for three days, why hasn't he come to see us yet?"
You know, usually the son comes to see them the next day after returning to the village.
What's going on now?
It's been three days and he still hasn't come.
Xie Xichao: "He's probably just overjoyed to find out he has three children, and he hasn't recovered yet! Just wait a little longer, he'll come to see you in a few days!"
Not to mention his son, even he was so happy when he first learned that he had three grandchildren that he took several days to recover!
So he can fully understand his son's behavior.
Although Gu Pan was unhappy when he heard this, he didn't say anything when he thought of his three lovely grandsons.
It was on the fourth day after Xie Zheng returned that Wang Cuilan reminded him to go visit his parents.
When they went there, Xie Zheng held Dabao and Erbao in his arms and said, "Shall I take the two children to show them to my parents?"
Wang Cuilan stopped her, "Mom and Dad are in the village now. They want to see the child. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but not now. It's so late now. You can't go out with the child. It would be bad if they bump into something."
Especially there are so many graves at the west end of the village.
In order to conceal his tracks, Xie Zheng went to the west end of the village to visit his parents, usually when there were fewer people around, early in the morning or late in the evening.
When Wang Cuilan reminded Xie Zheng today, it was already afternoon, so Xie Zheng could only visit his parents in the evening.
According to their local customs, children cannot be taken out at night, especially newborn babies, otherwise they may lose their souls.
Wang Cuilan is skeptical about whether this statement is true or not.
But since it concerns her child, Wang Cuilan would rather believe it than regret it after something happens.
I firmly disagree with Xie Zheng taking the children out at night.
Unlike Wang Cuilan, Xie Zheng firmly believes in materialism and does not believe in those superstitious things at all.
But Wang Cuilan insisted, so he didn't insist on taking the child out to see his parents.
There is really no need to have a conflict with my wife over such a small matter.
Just like Cuilan said before, her parents are in the village, and if they want to see their grandson, there will always be a chance in the future.
Especially since my parents now work in the village clinic.
It is only three meters away from where Cuilan goes to work after she finished her confinement.
It will be easier for them to see their grandchildren in the future.
Xie Zheng went to see his parents alone.
What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the place, he was actually rejected.
Xie Xichao saw that he didn't bring the three children, and the corners of his mouth straightened in disappointment. "Why did you come alone? Where are the children?"
"Yes, why didn't you bring the three children here?" Gu Pan asked hurriedly.
Her tone was somewhat dissatisfied as she questioned, "Is your wife still holding a grudge against your father and me for not wanting to acknowledge her affairs and not letting you bring the children to see us?"
These days, she often heard villagers praising how cute her three grandchildren were, and she had been itching to have one herself.
I thought that after my son came back, he would bring his grandchildren to see me that night.
As a result, after waiting for a few days, I didn't see any sign of my son, let alone my grandson.
Xi Chao said that her son probably didn't react to the fact that she had three children, so he asked her to wait.
Okay, then she'll wait.
But what's happening now?
I finally waited for my son to come, but he only came alone and didn't bring any of my three grandchildren.
The long-awaited wish was dashed, and there was no way Gu Pan’s tone would be good.
Sons and grandsons are your own and you cannot scold them.
Gu Pan directed his anger at Wang Cuilan, the "outsider". "I knew she wasn't a good person. She's been back in the village for so many days since she gave birth, and she hasn't even mentioned bringing the child to see us grandparents. She's really heartless."
Xie Xi looked at Xie Zheng and his son with a dark look on his face, "Pan Pan/Mom!"
Xie Zheng was a son after all. Seeing that his father had already scolded his mother, he shut up and let his father speak.
If his father says something bad, he will come again.
Although this situation is rare.
After all, no matter what, his father used to be a teacher.
——He is very good at persuading people.
Things turned out just as Xie Zheng had expected. After being persuaded by his father, Gu Pan stopped saying bad things about Wang Cuilan.
At least, that's the case on the surface. As for what he really thinks in his heart, no one knows.
Xie Zheng stayed with his parents for half an hour, told them about the situation of his family in Kyoto and the outside world, and then he got up and went home.
When Xie Zheng returned home, Wang Cuilan and Aunt An had already put Dabao and Erbao to sleep.
She was coaxing Xiaobao to sleep. When she saw him come in, Aunt An went back to her room tactfully, leaving the couple and Xiaobao, who was still waking up, in the room.
Xie Zheng smiled upon seeing this and stepped forward to take Xiaobao from Wang Cuilan's hands, "Let me coax him?"
Wang Cuilan shook her head and winked at Xie Zheng to look at Xiaobao, whose eyes were already half closed. She whispered, "No, he'll be asleep soon."
Xie Zheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go check on the two kids who are already asleep."
Go take another shower.
Of course, Xie Zheng didn't say the last sentence, otherwise Cuilan would have made trouble with him again.
It was hot in June even if Wang Cuilan stayed in the house.
Although the sweat on his body was not as heavy as that of the members working outside, it still seeped out every day, soaking his clothes with sweat.
Although I changed my clothes, I couldn't take a shower.
In this kind of weather, Wang Cuilan used to feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a shower for a day, but now she hasn't taken a shower for more than ten days, almost twenty days, and she has really reached her limit.
I really can't help it.
Wang Cuilan could feel the smell all over her body, even after she changed her clothes, it was still there, it was just her natural smell.
She wanted to take a bath, she wanted to do it very much, but with Aunt An watching her, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to.
Especially after realizing that she had not watched her closely once and that Wang Cuilan was secretly preparing to wash her hair, Aunt An now watched her even more closely.
