Shen Wu thought of what Xu Yin said last night. Long Yujiao really didn't breastfeed anymore?
I thought so in my heart, but didn't say it out loud.
Lu Xuan said, "Lao Wu's child is not my child, why would you ask me to buy milk powder?"
"That's also from our Lu family." Old Mrs. Lu said, "Isn't your last name Lu too?"
Then he lowered his voice and said, "This kind of thing is not easy to buy, and you need a quota. Lao Wu, this is not your duty. Don't you have any connections? Otherwise, can mother come to you?"
"I don't have any connections either." Lu Xuan said, "If they get caught, it's speculation. Your youngest has experience, so let him go and buy it."
This was like a thorn in Lan Lan's side: "How dare you talk like that, kid?"
"It's your nephew's too! If you just ignore it like this, your surname is Lu!"
Lu Xuan stared at his mother for a few seconds: "Then I will follow my wife's surname tomorrow and change it to Shen."
Then he closed the door.
After closing the door and taking a deep breath, Shen Wu held his hand. It was actually very easy to tell whether the parents liked or disliked a child, even though in the eyes of Mrs. Lu she might think that he treated all the children the same.
Shen Wu also engaged in speculation secretly, knowing that it would not be a big deal in a few years. But now, in the eyes of Old Lady Lu, it was definitely a bad thing, and she might end up going to the farm.
Even the child's biological father was reluctant to let him take the risk, but he chose to find Lu Xuan...
I don't think of him when good things happen to me.
"Third brother, it's okay." Shen Wu hugged Lu Xuan and patted his back soothingly.
Lu Xuan's eyes gradually softened, and he chuckled: "Are you coaxing a child? I'm not a child anymore."
"Even if adults are unhappy, they still need to be coaxed. You are my man, so I am happy to coax you."
…
“Ahem!”
A cough was heard at the gate where the two courtyards met. Shen Wu turned her head and saw Xu Yin. She must have indulged herself again last night. She was glancing at her lazily with her long hair draped over her.
Chen Wu felt inexplicably guilty.
"You're almost late, hurry up and eat and go to work."
Xu Yin came over and said sarcastically with an expressionless face: "Even if the adults are unhappy, they have to be coaxed. You are my man, so I am happy to..." coax you.
Before she could finish her words, Shen Wu covered her mouth: "Ahhh! Don't learn it..."
"Now you know it's corny?"
Chen Wu said: "Even if you are unhappy, I will comfort you."
Xu Yin snorted: "I'm not happy now."
Chen Wu coaxed the two of them early in the morning, and then looked at Xu Yin: "Why don't you see your brain is not good?"
"It sounds so ugly, why don't you change your name?" Xu Yin said.
Shen Wu thought for a moment: "Where is your handsome man?"
"Still sleeping. I was tired last night."
Lu Xuan felt that he shouldn't be here. These two people were chatting without any regard for him. Or, it would be great if Lu Ye could finally get his mind right. It would be best if they both learned how to cook and could eat at home.
Chen Wu's class today was at ten o'clock. After breakfast, she sent Xu Yin to work early in the morning and was bored in the yard, watching Lu Xuan turning the soil.
After turning over so much, she was sweating. Wearing a vest with two stripes, Shen Wu looked at the muscles and felt itchy. She couldn't help but poke her belly: "Baby, when will it come out?"
Not only Lu Xuan was thinking about her, Chen Wu was also secretly thinking about her appearance. With a baby in her belly, she could only eat a little bit and could never eat to her heart's content.
Lu Xuan turned around, rolled up his clothes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Chen Wu: "Do you want to take a closer look?"
Shen Wu was caught.
"What's wrong with looking? You are my man, can't I look?" You are not allowed to look even if you can't eat it!
Lu Xuan approached her, bent down, picked up the water and drank most of it: "Come closer and take a look."
"You smell of sweat, I hate it." He wrinkled his nose as he said this.
The floor hasn't been turned yet: "I'll finish turning it and then go take a shower."
Chen Wu looked for a while, and when class was almost about to start, she took her things and went to class.
At this critical moment, nothing can happen to the fifth brother. The seventh brother is still half dead. It's all the fault of that woman Tao Xing. Old Mrs. Lu is looking all over the village for sheep that have just given birth.
Seeing Chen Wu, he asked, "Third wife, when are you going to give birth?"
Chen Wu said, "There are still several months left."
After she finished speaking, we knew what the old woman was planning: "Mom, don't try to take advantage of me. I won't feed anyone except my own children. If one comes, one will starve to death. If two come, both will starve to death."
Old Mrs. Lu closed her eyes in anger after listening to her.
Old Lady Lu said, "You are such a wicked person."
There was no way Chen Wu would raise a child for someone else, let alone Long Yujiao. She was so petty that she even hoped she would be more tired from taking care of the child.
After Chen Wu finished two classes, she went to Maimiao Niang's place to look for chili seeds.
I also met Mrs. Lu.
I'm discussing with Mai Miao's mother about letting her feed the baby twice a day. "No need for you to run, I'll bring the baby over when the time comes."
Mai Miao's mother frowned and said, "My dear, it's not that I don't allow Mai Miao to feed the baby, but her milk supply is not enough. No, you should find a way to get your fifth child to buy some milk powder."
No matter how much Mrs. Lu tried to persuade her, Mai Miao's mother, who was protective of her daughter, refused to agree.
Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she said, "Your family is the only family that can give birth to daughters. Without my son, how could you give birth to a fat boy? You are so stingy that you don't even let him drink milk."
"I like it whether it's a son or a daughter. I even want her to be a daughter. Go and make her a daughter."
Mai Miao's mother didn't buy into Old Lady Lu's tricks at all.
"If you don't leave, I'm going to splash water on you!"
Old Mrs. Lu left angrily.
Chen Wu said, "The Lu family has quite a few children, but I've never seen her care so much about them."
"When your mother-in-law was young, she was so proud of having given birth to sons that she looked down on everyone else. This was the pride in her heart, so naturally, she treated her twin grandsons differently."
"She often told me that when I was young, and it was hard sometimes, but I finally figured it out. Now, I see that most of the time, the people in the village are not as good as me, and there are no conflicts. I take care of your daughter's children, and even if you two have a quarrel, mother and daughter won't hold grudges overnight..."
When talking about her own experience, Mai Miao Niang was also filled with emotion. It took her a long time to react: "Look, I saw your mother-in-law was only busy talking about these useless things. What are you doing here?"
"I came to borrow some pepper seeds from you. I like the spicy taste of your peppers, so I'm going to plant some this year."
Maimiao's mother hurried over to get some for her. Besides pepper seeds, she also took cucumber seeds and pumpkin seeds...
"If you don't have enough, come and ask auntie for it. I have plenty at home."
Shen Wu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Auntie."
Chen Wu also went into the house to check on the child. She had also seen the child when he was just born. His skin was red and wrinkled, but today he seemed much more relaxed and soft.
Mai Miao's mother said, "I specially found sorghum husks to make a pillow. I told her mother to be careful and make sure he has a flat head when he sleeps."
