I had just finished cleaning up last year and didn’t have time to pay homage this year because I had to come to the provincial capital and missed the Qingming Festival this time.
Since this matter concerns the Tian family's ancestral tomb, Lin Meiyu couldn't say anything. She could only turn around and take out the washed clothes from the washing machine.
"It won't matter if you lose one year. Besides, this is Tiantian giving birth to a child, not for any other reason. If you left for other reasons, your ancestors won't blame you!" said Old Mrs. Tian from the side.
"If you really feel bad about it, then just burn some paper downstairs. I see there are quite a lot of people burning paper downstairs, right?"
“Forget it!” Tian Lisong waved his hands. “It feels weird to burn paper down there! Let Tian Lilin do it. I’ll go up the mountain and take a look when I get back!”
But in the previous ten years, in order to break down feudal superstitions and destroy all kinds of monsters and demons, Tian Lisong and his companions did not go up the mountain to burn paper. Ten years later, Tian Lisong went up the mountain every time without missing a single visit. He felt a little uncomfortable about not going there all of a sudden.
Tian Tian sat aside with her bulging belly. Now her belly was very big, which caused her a lot of trouble. She couldn't sleep at night. Her feet were also swollen. She couldn't wear her previous shoes anymore, and her pants were a little tight.
Lin Meiyu and Old Lady Tian made two pairs of large slippers for Tian Tian using strips of cloth at home. After all, Tian Tian didn't go downstairs to wear slippers, and she felt more comfortable at home.
"Don't sit there. Is it time for you to turn around today? Get up. I'll help you walk around the house a few times." Seeing that Tian Tian was no longer looking outside, Lin Meiyu put down the things in her hands and came over to help Tian Tian.
Tian Tian has been feeling unwell these past few days and doesn't want to walk. Every day Lin Meiyu has to coax her to walk for half an hour or an hour.
"Open all the windows and doors in the house, otherwise it will be too stuffy in this room!" Although Tian Tian was not happy, she knew that Lin Meiyu was doing it for her own good. She stood up with difficulty, holding her belly and walking around the living room.
In order to make it more convenient for Tian Tian to get around, all other things in the living room had been moved away, leaving only the TV, refrigerator, and sofa.
Although it would be more convenient to be inside the house, Tian Tian is still alone after all. After a long time, she would always feel bored staying in the house all the time.
"The baby is about to be born, and it won't stay in the belly for a few more days. You have to be a little hard-working these two days and walk around the house more. This way you can feel more relaxed when the baby is born!" Lin Meiyu said as she helped Tian Tian walk.
"Fortunately, we now have family planning, so we only need to have one child. I don't want to have a second one. These days have really worn me out!" Tian Tian said while holding her waist. She didn't know why pregnant women in TV dramas always applied this medicine before, but now she knows, it's because her waist hurts so much.
Before, she didn't feel uncomfortable sitting casually with such a big belly. Her waist was often suspended in the air, and as a result, most of the force was borne by her waist. After a few days, her waist began to hurt. Later, she became alert and put something behind her waist before sitting down.
Although she usually pays attention not to hurt her waist with her posture, carrying such a big belly will definitely have an impact on the waist. Tian Tian can also feel that her waist is getting more and more painful.
And back pain is one of the least significant effects that pregnancy brings to Tian Tian.
"Don't worry about that. What you need to do now is to give birth to the baby safely. Then you will feel relieved. And during the confinement period, just sit still and your back pain will heal quickly!" said Lin Meiyu.
"How can it be easy? Isn't it said that the hardest part after pregnancy is taking care of the child after it is born?" Tian Tian said.
"You little girl, you know a lot even though the child isn't even born yet!" Old Mrs. Tian laughed as she listened.
"Aren't I the one taking care of the child? How can you bear to let my daughter take care of the child while she is in confinement? Don't worry, you just need to feed the baby and take good care of the confinement period. As for taking care of the child, leave it all to me and your father!" said Lin Meiyu.
Tian Tian's heart tightened after hearing this. It's not that she disliked Lin Meiyu for taking care of her child, but she was also worried that Lin Meiyu would have the old-fashioned thinking. Although she wouldn't chew food in her mouth or feed the child mouth-to-mouth, she was always worried that Lin Meiyu would also make the child sleep with a flat head and leg wraps.
"Mom! When the baby is born, don't let her sleep with a flat head. I think round heads are more beautiful. And don't believe those who say that the baby's legs will be straight after binding her legs!" Tian Tian said.
"Why sleep with a flat head? There is no such tradition in our family. Look at you brothers, which one of you sleeps with a flat head? Aren't your hairs round like balls? What does your head look like? Isn't that destined by God? If we force ourselves to sleep with a flat head, wouldn't that be going against God?"
"And there's that thing called leg binding. I've wanted to say this for a long time. What era is this? Why is foot binding still popular? Isn't leg binding just foot binding?" Lin Meiyu sneered.
Anyway, she didn't believe in these things. When she gave birth to the child, she didn't think about whether the child's legs would be straight or the head would be flat. Anyway, she felt that although the child came out of the human belly, it was born and raised by nature. All she had to do was to feed the child and teach her some principles of life. The rest depended on the children themselves, so she followed the children's own progress in everything.
For example, Tian Tian, she started walking late. Other children could walk fluently at seven or eight months old, but Tian Tian couldn't walk until she was over one year old, and she walked unsteadily.
Others suggested that Tian Tian should walk more, or they could put her on the ground and let her walk for practice, or they could use a knife to cut off the string between his feet.
But Lin Meiyu didn't listen to anything. When she had work to do, she would just spread a large mat in the middle of the yard, throw Tian Tian on it, and watch over her while she worked.
Tian Tian could walk if she wanted to, and crawl if she wanted to, and she didn't care. Later, Tian Tian learned to walk smoothly, and she didn't say she was inferior to others. Now she has been admitted to university and is more successful than any of their families.
There is also Tian Zhuo, who is also Tian Zhuo. He was late in learning to speak. While others could only speak in complete sentences at the age of two, Tian Zhuo's speech was like jumping beans, uttering words one by one. When he was three years old, his speech was still as if he had a piece of candy in his mouth, and his speech was unclear.
