Chapter 435 Sleeping in Separate Rooms
While at home looking after the nanny, Lin's father tactfully took Lin Zihuai out, just in time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables, and then go to the military farm to attend classes.
Dujuan was kept at home. Lin's mother wanted her to help her and learn something, as some things would come in handy sooner or later.
Zhao Xiangjun happened to be their neighbor, so they would visit each other often in the future.
Du Juan was a new bride, she knew nothing about confinement and nursing. There was no mother to teach her, so she could only follow Lin's mother and peek with a red face.
As soon as Zhao Xiangjun took Zhuangzhuang into her arms, the little guy was like a bee smelling honey, rubbing his little head against her clothes and nodding.
Seeing the sweat on his nose, Lin's mother reached out to untie the swaddling clothes, but Zhao Xiangjun gently held her back, "Aunt, he has never had milk before, don't scare him, he looks really hungry."
Zhao Xiangjun turned around and pulled up her clothes. Zhuangzhuang didn't resist at all and started sucking immediately. His round cheeks moved rapidly and a satisfied gurgling sound came from his throat. He was so well-behaved.
The afternoon sun shone through the window lattices, casting diamond-shaped spots of light on the floor, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Xiangjun held Zhuangzhuang's little butt with her left hand and gently patted his back with her right hand.
Zhuangzhuang's small hands were grabbing the front of her clothes, and his little fingers were moving rhythmically with her swallowing.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Zhao Xiangjun's voice was as soft as a ball of cotton, which made Zhuangzhuang raise his grape-like eyes, his eyelashes fluttering.
Mother Lin was so happy that her eyes were curved with smiles, "The child still needs breast milk, look, how good it is."
Maybe it was because the little one was drinking breast milk for the first time, and he fell asleep immediately, as if he was drunk with milk.
Zhao Xiangjun put her clothes in place, picked the man up, let him lean lightly on her shoulders, and gently patted his breasts.
Mother Lin gave her a thumbs up.
"Brother is energetic and loves to eat. He is really good."
As she spoke, she bent down and wiped the corner of Zhuangzhuang's mouth. Her fingertips touched his soft cheek and she laughed out loud first.
Zhao Xiangjun was finally confirmed as the nanny.
The two sides agreed that Zhao Xiangjun could bring her own children with her and eat all three meals at Chu's house. If she was not available, she could bring Zhuangzhuang over and leave him there until he was full before coming back.
Zhao Xiangjun had no objection at all. She had a sister-in-law at home who was about the same age as Chu Minglan. If she took the baby over, her own daughter could be taken care of by her sister-in-law, who would be able to take care of her too.
Lin Anan wiped her body, changed into a set of dry clothes, and officially started her confinement period.
No reading of books.
Entertainment, no.
Electronics, no.
Finally, I could only lie on the kang and listen to the tape recorder...
There are very few channels that can be received now, and usually there is the "crackling" sound of electricity. Occasionally, a channel will come on, which is either news or positive and exciting songs.
【People protested in Kyoto...】
The Smashing Four's activities are getting more intense.
Lin Anan raised her slightly closed eyelids.
In October this year, the Cultural Revolution will be declared over, and this decade-long civil unrest will be almost over.
This is a good thing for China, a very good thing!
Dusk enveloped the military compound, and Chu Mingzhou returned with the last rays of sunset.
As soon as he opened the gate, he smelled the aroma of food. He saw Father Lin tinkering with his carpentry work in the yard and making some small common things.
"Is Mingzhou back?" Father Lin raised his hand and pointed to the main hall. "The food is ready. Wash your hands and eat."
Chu Mingzhou responded and went straight into the kitchen. After washing his hands, he took the food into the house.
"Mingzhou, you don't want to eat?"
When Lin's father saw that he did not go to the dining table but went back to the house instead, he hurriedly called out to him.
Mother Lin smiled and glared at him, "Mingzhou is serving food to An'an, it's none of your business, go eat quickly."
"Hey, that's really fresh."
Father Lin grinned and was very satisfied in his heart.
My son-in-law is a serious officer and cadre of the Northwest Military Region. He is ruthless in dealing with external affairs and very considerate in internal affairs.
When Chu Mingzhou brought the food into the room, Lin Anan was leaning against the head of the bed tuning the radio.
The fish stewed with tofu was still bubbling in the clay pot. He put the tray on the table and handed Lin Anan the bowl and chopsticks. "Mom said that they used fish belly meat, which has no bones."
Seeing that the dishes were large and there were two bowls of rice, Lin Anan smiled and patted the seat next to her, "Do you want to accompany me to eat the confinement meal?"
Chu Mingzhou chuckled and nodded.
"How's Chen Lei doing?"
Chu Mingzhou rolled up his sleeves and sat down. "The military has checked the correspondence between Chen Lei and Qiu Xuezhen word for word. There is a lot of content and it is quite complicated. It mentioned the delay in the delivery of ammunition during the Laoliangshan Campaign. The organization is verifying it further. In short... it's not that simple."
"Has this happened to you again? It's very troublesome, right?"
Chu Mingzhou shook his head. "If you need me, I will certainly cooperate, but this matter is not my responsibility to investigate, so it's not a bother."
"That's good."
The two of them sat down to eat and chatted about random things.
Lin Anan mentioned the "Gang of Four" and the earthquake zone, fearing that Chu Mingzhou would not take it seriously.
That was the Tang City earthquake, a world-class natural disaster. We must take precautions if we can.
"Remember it, don't worry."
"That's good."
After Lin Anan finished eating, Chu Mingzhou took the dishes out. After washing up, he wanted to go back to the room, but was stopped by Lin's mother.
"Mingzhou, you should sleep with your dad first. When the child wakes up and makes noises at night, mom can sleep with him and it will be more convenient to take care of him."
Chu Mingzhou:?
Since Lin Anan was in confinement after giving birth, her mother naturally wanted to separate the two of them.
Chu Mingzhou didn't understand the rules, nor did he know that women need to have separate rooms during confinement. He thought his mother-in-law was worried that he was busy with work and that the child would bother him.
"Okay, then I'll sleep with Dad at night."
"You'll have to sleep alone for the next month." Mother Lin emphasized with a smile.
Chu Mingzhou: "..."
In the end, it was only after Lin's father took him aside and explained it softly that he reluctantly accepted it.
Lin Anan couldn't stop laughing when she found out.
Lin's mother joked, "It's a good thing that you two have a good relationship, but you can't do anything reckless during the confinement period. Besides, it's dirty for a woman to be in confinement period, and it's not appropriate for a man to be around."
"Mom, I love cleanliness, not dirty! Those who say childbirth is dirty, blood stasis is dirty, and even menstruation is dirty are the real old-fashioned people."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lin's mother shook her head indifferently.
In fact, it was useless for Lin Anan to say these words, because Lin's mother really couldn't listen to them. In their minds, these were dirty. Not only were they dirty, but grown men shouldn't touch them, lest they bring bad luck, which would be bad for their fortunes!
"Hey~ Our Zhuangzhuang is looking at his mother. Why is he so well behaved? Grandma, give him a hug..."
