Chapter 104 You Are the Most Important Person
She really went through a lot during her postpartum period. The late stages of pregnancy were really tough. Besides enjoying the wonderful experience of being in the same body as her baby, she was also looking forward to giving birth to the baby as soon as possible and seeing what the baby looked like.
She went from being a young woman to a mother of two.
She gave birth to two children.
Because of the joy of being a new mother, she sometimes felt dazed. When she woke up in the middle of the night, the first thing she did was to reach out and quietly feel under her children's noses to check if they were breathing.
Now, more than anything, she wants to put the two children back into her womb.
It's so annoying, it's really too annoying.
Even though there are two people at home taking care of the child and her, she can still be jolted awake by the sound of the child crying, and then she will lift her clothes, lie down and breastfeed the child.
She went through the whole process instinctively, without any skills, relying entirely on intuition.
The food and drink were even more terrifying. She felt like a piglet in Wang Liping's pigsty, just waiting to be raised and eaten.
Oh, last time Wang Liping said that her family had a new batch of piglets, which were being raised very well, and the previous batch had already been sold.
Besides taking care of the children and herself, she also brought the dividends from raising pigs. She didn't contribute any labor and didn't receive much, but Wang Liping insisted on giving her an extra twenty yuan, saying it was for the sewing machine and she had to pay it back.
Staying at home every day, she felt like she was going to get moldy.
When Zhou Congsheng returned, he saw that his wife looked listless and lacked energy, so he quickly hung up his coat and came over to her.
"What's wrong, honey? Why are you unhappy?"
"How boring, how incredibly boring, Zhou Congsheng!"
Zhou Congsheng raised his hand to ruffle her hair, but Shen Yuzhu suddenly slapped him aside.
She hadn't washed her hair for over ten days, and she could smell the stench of sweat and oil on her body. He didn't seem to mind touching her hair; he really wasn't afraid of getting dirty.
"Look at you, I just asked Sister Guo to boil a pot of water for you with ginger. I'll use that to wash your hair in a bit. It's fine here in the house, where there's no wind!"
"real?"
Shen Yuzhu looked at him with bright eyes. Being able to wash her hair was incredibly good news for her during her postpartum period.
Shen Yuming was very strict with her at home, practically feeding her and carrying her to the toilet.
"How could it be fake? I even asked Commander Li's wife and sister to chat for a while so that you could wash your hair tonight."
"That's good, that's good."
Commander Li's wife is an obstetrician and gynecologist at the military hospital. She was very happy when Zhou Congsheng came to consult her about postpartum care. Shen Yuzhu is capable and has made great contributions to the military wives in the family compound.
It's just that I'm busy, otherwise I would have to come over every day to do a check-up so that everyone can rest assured.
After washing her hair, Shen Yuzhu felt incredibly refreshed. She took advantage of the situation and used hot water to wipe her body. Fortunately, no one noticed. Lying in the changed bed, the resentment in her heart finally disappeared.
Shortly after, Zhou Congsheng took out some documents that needed to be translated from his bag.
"These are the materials I applied for for you. You can work on them for a while when you have free time, but each time cannot exceed two hours. Also, I heard from your sister that you sometimes secretly write articles. That cannot exceed two hours either, understand?"
"Yes, yes, I know, thank you Zhou Congsheng."
Zhou Congsheng looked into her bright eyes and smiled helplessly.
I let her take her work home to do, and she thanked me. What a silly girl!
That noon, Shen Yuzhu had Guo Rou call Zhao Yue over. While the two were inside, she handed Zhao Yue the bag she had prepared for her.
"Xiaoyue, you must keep your mouth shut about what your sister-in-law is about to tell you. Don't tell anyone, understand?"
Seeing how serious she looked, Zhao Yue looked her over and over again, then nodded emphatically.
"This bag contains life-saving items I prepared for you: a ring and a bracelet, both of which are concealed weapons. I'll tell you how to use them. These were given to us by friends in the martial arts world whom the Shen family helped in the past. There's also a vest inside. You must never take it off, no matter what. From the moment you step into Hong Kong, you must wear it, understand?"
The Royal Hong Kong Police Force already has bulletproof vests, but the ones she has were bought from Xiao Gua, and their effectiveness and comfort are completely different.
This thing is truly as thin as a cicada's wing and impervious to swords and spears.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
"There are a few life-saving medicines in here, so keep them with you. Remember to wear the necklace I gave you last time."
Zhao Yue's eyes reddened. She knew that Shen Yuzhu didn't want her to tell anyone because these things must have come from illegitimate sources. But her sister-in-law was willing to risk everything for her so that she could come back safely.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely come back safely."
Shen Yuzhu stroked her little face and smiled reassuringly, "Think thrice before you act, and read more of Sun Tzu's Art of War. If you encounter danger, as long as you protect Huo Hongbang's life, that's all that matters. The rest is your own life. Your sister-in-law's awareness isn't as high as yours; she just wants Xiaoyue to come back safely, okay!"
Shen Yuzhu wasn't worrying unnecessarily. Hong Kong in the 1970s was really not peaceful. There were triads, gangsters, hooligans, and some very powerful figures. Who knew what problems the Huo family had that required the protection of mainland soldiers?
Zhao Yue, a naive young girl, was no match for those malicious people.
"Oh, I know, sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm very smart. Back in my village, I was one of the best."
Zhao Yue didn't dare to say too much. She already knew what had happened. Huo Hongbang wasn't here to cause her any trouble. First, his cousin and his wife were inexplicably in a car accident abroad and both of them died. Not long after, his cousin, who was working in the entertainment industry, was stabbed to death in the street by an overzealous fan.
One evening, just as he was about to take a bath, before he even got into the tub, his pet lizard fell in and was electrocuted.
Several members of the Huo family have lost their lives in succession; there must be more to it than meets the eye.
If the Huo family hadn't offended someone, then someone was deliberately targeting the Huo family. Now, no one around him believed it. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Dali Mei, who had rescued him back in the mainland.
Looking at her, Shen Yuzhu could only hope that the things she had bought at such a high price would actually be useful.
Zhao Yue returned to her dormitory and looked at the bag Shen Yuzhu had given her. She was overjoyed and slept with it all night. The next morning, she packed a few pieces of civilian clothes and left the garrison in a military vehicle.
She turned to look at the row of houses in the family compound, gently placed her hand on the necklace, and silently murmured the names of Shen Yuzhu and her two children. She firmly believed that she would be able to return safely.
