Mrs. Zhao has delivered many babies and seen many women in labor. She has encountered many situations, but although she spoke seriously, many people in the car did not take her words seriously.
"It's not like we haven't had children before, and we haven't been like this!"
"She's just a spoiled girl from the city..."
Chen Wu didn't say anything. She hadn't seen Long Yujiao since she gave birth. Could it be that she really had postpartum depression?
There is no such plot in the original book.
They arrived at the county town. Most people who had given birth brought eggs, cloth, and brown sugar. Shen Wu bought some eggs and a bag of brown sugar. Xu Yin didn't bother with such things. There were not many things to choose from, so she bought the same thing as Shen Wu.
While Chen Wu was shopping, an aunt from Laoya Village asked, "Aren't you guys at Laowu's family also going to have a full-moon banquet? It's twins, and your dad has already said it's going to be a big one."
"If you don't buy it together, will you come back to buy it later?"
Old Man Lu wanted to make a big fuss, perhaps because he was stimulated by Mai Miao's mother. He always felt that the sixth son was ignorant. This grandson was born before the Lu family, and he had the intention of comparing with the Yang family.
Chen Wu had no plans to give Long Yujiao's child a full-moon gift: "I won't allow you to go, and I won't buy anything either."
She said this.
The elderly aunt looked up in disbelief: "You are sisters-in-law after all, how can you not go? It's just that there is something wrong between sisters-in-law. The third and fifth brothers are also brothers..."
Xu Yin coughed aside.
The aunt wanted to say something, but when she saw Xu Yin's expression, she stopped talking. She took the things she bought, smiled awkwardly, and moved back.
When she was far away from Xu Yin and close to the people she had a good relationship with, she muttered, "When it comes to things like having a baby, the third and fourth sisters' families are not planning to go, and I don't know if the men in their families are willing."
"She didn't even go to the wedding, and she's not going to the birth either. Lanlan and Old Man Lu definitely did something wrong when it came to their marriage..."
"I've seen that although the third brother is fierce, he's only fierce towards outsiders. He's not fierce towards his own wife."
…
Chen Wu ignored what others said. She bought eggs and brown sugar and then went to buy meat. The meat was sold out early, and Chen Wu only had large bones left. She bought two bones and went back to make soup. After buying these, she also bought two bags of peach cakes, which she would use as a teething snack when she was hungry during class.
In addition, he went to see a cloth seller. The weather was getting hot, and several of Chen Wu's clothes were new. They were all made of cloth bought by Lu Xuan and made by Wang Hua. However, Lu Xuan had no clothes. He didn't know when his clothes were from. They were washed white and had patches on them.
Chen Wu asked him to buy some for himself when he bought the cloth, but Lu Xuan felt that as a grown man, he didn't need these things.
Seeing that the fabric was new, Chen Wu took out the fabric coupons and said, "I'm going to buy some fabric for Lu Xuan to make some clothes. Do you want to buy some for the handsome man?"
Xu Yin nodded: "Buy some."
The fabrics that Chen Wu picked for Lu Xuan were dark-colored fabrics, which were the most popular ones nowadays and were washable and wear-resistant. Xu Yin always felt that these fabrics were a bit dull.
Finally, I picked out a piece of white Dacron cloth, which was the best and most expensive cloth sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Shen Wu lowered her voice and said, "This fabric is uncomfortable and not very breathable."
"Whatever, it's good for my eyes."
Xu Yin thought very clearly.
Chen Wu thought about it and it made sense. Although Dacron fabric was not as comfortable as cotton, the clothes made from it were more crisp than those made from ordinary fabrics. So, it really worked well when worn.
"Then I'll do my eyes a favor too."
As she spoke, Shen Wu pulled off some more cloth and said, "Ask Sister Hua to make a men's shirt."
Lu Xuan usually wore tattered clothes when he worked. Chen Wu thought about what he looked like and thought it would be a blessing for her eyes. She was happy to pay for it.
When Chen Wu and Xu Yin arrived at Wang Hua's place.
A middle-aged man was leaning against the doorway, talking to Wang Hua. Chen Wu saw Wang Hua about to close the door, and the man reached in, "If you're really cruel, just pinch my hand."
He was laughing as he spoke, with a scoundrel-like air on his face.
Xu Yin took out an armband from her pocket, put it on, and walked towards Wang Hua's yard with a cold face: "Get lost!"
See Xu Yin.
Wang Hua's eyes lit up.
The man had never seen Xu Yin before, so when he heard a woman's voice, he didn't even think about it. "Who is it? You are so ignorant—"
As he spoke, he turned his head and saw Xu Yin and Shen Wu.
His eyes lit up at first, but when he saw the red armband on Xu Yin's arm, his face suddenly changed and he ran away like a mouse.
"Sister Hua, next time he comes to harass you, go to the police station to find Xu Yin and have her arrested and sent to labor camp." Shen Wu's voice rose so high that the fleeing man could hear it.
Nowadays, when people see that armband, they hide away for fear of being arrested.
I thought the person next door was a young widow, but I didn't expect that I actually knew such a person... I immediately regretted it.
Wang Hua responded, "Okay, next time I'll call the police!"
Then he invited Shen Wu and Xu Yin in, then closed the door tightly and sighed: "Alas, now that I think about it, Widow Jin is not easy either. People like the one just now are very difficult to get rid of. They are shameless."
Chen Wu chuckled: "You understand her difficulties, but she doesn't understand yours."
Wang Hua shook her head: "The main reason is still Lu Lao Er."
That’s true.
Chen Wu said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister Hua, I came here to ask you to make some clothes, but this time you're not making them for me, you're making them for Lu Xuan."
Xu Yin said from the side: "Make a shirt for Lu Ye too."
Wang Hua had made many clothes for Chen Wu and had measured her size before, but she had never made clothes for Lu Xuan and Lu Ye. "I don't know what size they want to make. Are they going to estimate it based on the second child's body shape, or are they going back to measure the size and then send it to me?"
"The shirt will look good only if it fits you well. Wait for me to measure your size and then have Xu Yin send it to you." If you want to feast your eyes on it, you have to do it well.
Wang Hua put the fabric away. Seeing her small workspace filled with several pieces of fabric, Chen Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Hua, you're amazing. Not only do you work, but you also take on so many jobs."
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway." Wang Hua smiled and said, "To be honest, it's thanks to the paper patterns you drew for me. They're different from those made elsewhere, so I've had quite a lot of people come to see me."
As she spoke, she also gave money to Chen Wu to share. Chen Wu hadn't come to see her for a while, and this time Wang Hua gave her six yuan, which was a lot.
The two sat at Wang Hua's house for a while, looking at the clothes Wang Hua had made. Suddenly, a postman called out from outside the door, "Wang Hua, there's a letter for you!"
Chen Wu and Xu Yin simply followed out and prepared to go back.
Wang Hua received the letter, glanced at it without any expression, and handed it to Chen Wu and Xu Yin to take a look.
