Spring planting and autumn harvest, daily life. There are no imperial relatives. The space is used for hoarding items and storing things.
Xu Han woke up to find herself transmigrated to an al...
This is Xu Han's second child. Compared to her first time being a mother, Xu Han is much more experienced this time.
She took the baby from Zhao Yunyun and kissed it. The baby, in a very considerate gesture, opened its eyes and looked at its mother.
"Hahaha, what a clever little devil. This one is definitely more mischievous than Mu'er," Zhao Yunyun said.
"You can already tell now, she'll definitely cause trouble in the future," Xu Han said with a helpless smile.
Whether the baby understood their conversation or not, its expression changed and it opened its little mouth to cry.
"Oh, oh, oh, you're not happy about what I'm saying?" Xu Han said, rubbing her forehead.
"He's probably hungry. You feed him milk first, and I'll go get you some food," Zhao Yunyun said before leaving the room.
The crying gradually stopped after Xu Han fed the baby.
Xu Han put the baby, who had finished nursing, to sleep, then reached out and took the dinner that Zhao Yunyun handed her, and began to eat heartily.
Having barely eaten all day, Xu Han was starving. She ate a bowl of rice porridge and half a bowl of steamed egg custard before she felt alive again.
In the evening, Zhao Yunyun went back to her room to rest, while Lu Chuan stayed inside to watch over Xu Han.
After washing up, Mu'er climbed into her little bed as usual and fell asleep contentedly.
Lu Chuan kissed Xu Han's forehead and said, "You've suffered, my dear wife. Seeing you in so much pain today really scared me. These two children are enough; we won't have any more."
"Don't you want a daughter anymore?" Xu Han teased.
"No, our son is great too. I love and cherish any child that is ours," Lu Chuan said earnestly.
"Let's talk about this later. We won't force things; we'll let fate decide. At least in the short term, I don't want to have any more children," Xu Han said seriously after thinking for a moment.
“Okay, I’ll listen to my wife. If you want to have another daughter, we can talk about it later.” Lu Chuan agreed when he heard Xu Han say that.
After all, everyone wants to have both a son and a daughter, to complete the Chinese character for "good" (好). It's not about favoring sons over daughters, or vice versa; it's simply about wanting both a son and a daughter.
Xu Han thought for a moment and then said, "This child came too early. Mu'er is still too young. Now that you have this little one, you can't be biased and neglect Mu'er just because she's well-behaved."
"Absolutely not, they are both my children, and I love them both equally," Lu Chuan assured.
"You said it yourself. If you show favoritism in the future, I won't let you off the hook," Xu Han said seriously.
"When Mu'er was born, conditions were not good, and Mu'er suffered a lot. In addition, Mu'er was well-behaved, so it was easy for us to take care of her."
Mu'er has never caused us any worry or trouble; I know all of that.
Mu'er is only two years old and has already become a big brother. I know you're worried that I'll pay more attention to the younger ones and neglect the older ones. Don't worry, I won't do that.
Mu'er is my first child, and I certainly won't let him suffer.
"I will love both children equally, the younger one and the older one, the older one and the younger one. I will absolutely not favor one over the other," Lu Chuan solemnly promised.
“That’s good. It’s hard for parents to treat all children equally, but we can’t ignore the feelings of the other children. At the very least, we should treat them the same in terms of material things and time spent with them,” Xu Han said.
"My wife is right. We'll all pay more attention to this from now on."
"Xiao Bao doesn't have a name yet! Why don't we name him today?" Xu Han changed the subject.
“Sure, the eldest brother’s given name is Mu, and the second brother’s given name is also Mu, so what should we call him?” Lu Chuan looked at Xu Han with a sweet smile.
"How about Lu Ze? Ze means water in mountains and rivers, or a pond, and it's a good name. How about Ze'er or Zeze as a nickname?" Xu Han asked after thinking for a moment.
“Okay, let’s call him Lu Ze.” Lu Chuan thought for a moment and agreed.
And so the second baby's name was quickly decided. Compared to Mu'er's name, Ze'er's name was chosen much faster and more casually.
We struggled for a long time when we were naming Mu'er, but we didn't expect that Lu Chuan would agree as soon as Xu Han suggested it.
Actually, Lu Chuan also thought the name was very good. Since both of them thought it was good, what was there to hesitate about? So the two hit it off and decided on it immediately.
After the two decided on a name for their son, they blew out the lamp and went to rest.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day. Xu Han slept well that night, but Lu Chuan, who had been crying all night, didn't get much rest.
Ze'er cried incessantly on his very first night after birth, sometimes needing to pee, sometimes being hungry, and Lu Chuan had to get up several times throughout the night.
The next morning, everyone got up early. Lu Chuan hadn't slept well, so after everyone else got up, he took the child out to Grandpa Zhao and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.
"Hahaha, this Ze'er is such a troublemaker. Your father couldn't take it on the first day. There's going to be a lot of trouble from now on," Yunhua said gleefully.
"I wonder if your parents will be able to control you in the future," Grandpa Zhao chimed in.
"Don't worry, with Xiao Chuan's temper, he definitely won't have the heart to discipline Ze'er. Xiao Han should be willing to discipline him," Yun Hua said confidently.
"That's not necessarily true. Xiao Chuan is quite strict with Mu'er too. It's just that you don't see it most of the time. Otherwise, how could Mu'er know so many things at such a young age? She learned them little by little, didn't she?" Grandpa Zhao said.
Yunhua looked at Grandpa Zhao with disbelief. In Yunhua's mind, Lu Chuan loved his children and wife very much, and it was hard to imagine Lu Chuan getting angry and throwing a tantrum.
Grandpa Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Yunhua. Seeing that Ze'er was sleeping soundly in his arms, he put him on the crib first.
Fortunately, it was warm inside the main room, otherwise I really wouldn't have dared to take the child out so easily.
The first thing Mu'er did after waking up was to climb onto Xu Han's bed and rub her face against Xu Han.
"Son, you're awake. Shall I help you get dressed?" Xu Han said groggily as she opened her eyes.
"Sleep with Mommy." Mu'er crawled into the blanket, and Xu Han hugged her tightly, changed her position, and continued to sleep.
Mu'er, who had already woken up, was no longer sleepy, but at this moment she really wanted her mother to hold her, so she obediently let her mother hold her to sleep.
When Xu Han woke up again, Mu'er and Lu Chuan were no longer in the room. Xu Han lay on the bed in a daze for a while before Lu Chuan brought the child in.
“You’re awake. Ze’er is hungry. I was just about to wake you up,” Lu Chuan said.
"Give him to me. Where's Mu'er? Has she eaten?" Xu Han asked.
"I've already eaten. Wait here while I get you some water. Wash up first, then you can eat," Lu Chuan said.
