"Mom, look, it's a hot summer day! Wearing a cotton-padded jacket? I'll be so hot that I'll die..."
Ruan Xiaotang looked at Zhou's mother with a bitter face and reached out to take off the heavy military coat.
However, when Zhou's mother saw this, she frowned and quickly grabbed Ruan Xiaotang's outstretched hand. At the same time, she unbuttoned several buttons of the military coat that she was about to take off, and then pulled it up again and wrapped it tightly around Ruan Xiaotang.
"Second daughter-in-law, I'm an experienced person and I know the ins and outs of this. Just listen to me and don't mess around. You just gave birth not long ago, and the joints in your body haven't closed completely yet. You can't get a cold. It's very important for a woman to take care of herself after giving birth. If you don't do it well, you will suffer when you are older, and you will be the one who suffers then, so be obedient."
Mother Zhou looked at Ruan Xiaotang with concern and said earnestly, "It's windy outside today, don't catch a cold."
As she spoke, she slowly stretched out her hand and reached into the slightly loose pocket of her clothes to fumble around. After a while, a snow-white cotton mask appeared in front of everyone.
Mother Zhou did not give Ruan Xiaotang any room to react or refuse. She quickly and skillfully brought the mask closer to Ruan Xiaotang's face and covered it gently but firmly.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Xiaotang's originally beautiful face was completely covered, leaving only a pair of big watery eyes, faintly visible through the gap above the mask.
Looking at Ruan Xiaotang again at this moment, she was already tightly wrapped in layers of clothes from head to toe, from inside to outside. It could be said that she was airtight and tight.
From a distance, she looked as ridiculous as a gigantic rice dumpling.
Especially after putting on the heavy military coat, Ruan Xiaotang felt a wave of heat overwhelming her, as if she was trapped in a burning steamer, feeling extremely hot and uncomfortable.
In an instant, fine beads of sweat began to ooze out of her back and forehead. These beads of sweat were like water bursting through a dam, rushing out of the surface of her skin with a "sizzling" sound, soaking large areas of her clothes at an alarming speed.
Although she was full of dissatisfaction and complaints, Ruan Xiaotang knew that resistance was futile as things had come to this point.
What's more, Zhou's mother did this out of concern for her health. Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaotang gritted her teeth and secretly told herself to be patient for the time being.
After all, for the sake of one's own health, one can still endure this little grievance.
So, she endured the discomfort, stood there silently, and let the sweat flow freely...
"Second sister-in-law, just be patient, we will be home soon."
Meimei was holding a big bag in her hands and following closely behind Zhou's mother, who was holding her beloved grandson in her arms, muttering to herself non-stop.
Zhou Xingze stood on the other side, carefully supporting Ruan Xiaotang, who walked in a slightly clumsy manner.
He comforted her softly, "Dear, for you and our lovely baby, you must hold on. I will speed up my bike and we will be home soon."
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaotang just responded softly: "Hmm~"
At this time, she was wearing a thick cotton coat, and her whole body looked like a huge meat dumpling.
Because the weather was too hot, sweat had soaked through the small clothes she was wearing underneath, and the clothes were all sticky to her skin.
Every time she moved her body a little, the wet clothes seemed to be pulling at her flesh. The feeling was so uncomfortable that Ruan Xiaotang suddenly became extremely irritable.
So she nodded absentmindedly at Zhou Xingze to indicate that she understood.
…
After finally returning home, everyone just sat down to take a breath when Zhou's mother hurriedly brought out a bowl of steaming red dates, peanuts and pig's trotter soup, handed it to Ruan Xiaotang with a smile on her face, and said, "Second daughter-in-law, drink this bowl of red dates, peanuts and pig's trotter soup while it's hot. This will help with milk production!"
Ruan Xiaotang dragged her exhausted body slowly back home and sat down on the bed as if all her strength had been drained away.
She raised her arms with difficulty, took off the heavy military coat from her body, and threw it aside casually.
At this moment, she realized that her body was already soaked with sweat, and the sticky feeling made her feel uncomfortable.
However, before she could catch her breath, a bowl of steaming pig's trotter soup with a rich aroma was brought to her.
This bowl of seemingly delicious pig's trotter soup was like a nightmare to Ruan Xiaotang at this moment.
Because at noon, she had already drunk a large bowl of black chicken soup, and the food had not been fully digested yet, and was piled up heavily in her stomach.
"I really can't drink any more!"
Ruan Xiaotang cried out in pain in her heart. She felt as if she had become a fat pig that was being fed. Only by eating non-stop every day could she satisfy her family's expectations.
"Mom, please, leave this bowl of soup there for now. I want it to cool down first and take a break." Ruan Xiaotang said to her mother in an almost pleading tone.
"Okay, you must drink it while it's hot, Xingze, watch your wife drink it all, and when you're done, take the bowl to the kitchen."
"Got it!"
Ruan Xiaotang blinked her big watery eyes, her eye sockets filled with tears, and looked at Zhou Xingze pitifully, like a wounded deer, making people feel pity for her.
