Chapter 65: Baby Crying



After working from morning to afternoon, the telephone was finally installed. Feng Yu tried to make a call, and Chen Yun sent the workers out. Seeing Feng Yu talking to Liu Zhiguo across the street, Chen Yun thoughtfully went in, leaving space for her parents-in-law to talk.

Even the closest people need their own space. Just when she came in, the baby peed with his eyes closed. Chen Yun changed his diaper, put some lotion on his butt, and kissed his little butt.

Although the baby is only a little over a month old, he is very caring. Chen Yun likes to put him on her belly to sleep, and both mother and son can fall asleep easily this way every time.

Fortunately, Feng Yu asked Chen Yun to make a phone call after talking for a while. Chen Yun held the baby and whispered, "Let grandpa and grandma talk to you later..." She didn't know if he could understand.

After dialing the phone at home, Zhang Meixiang picked up the phone immediately. The Chen family also installed a phone this year to make it convenient for Chen Yun to call home.

"Mom, I'm Yunyun. I installed a new phone here and I'm calling you while holding Zirui in my arms." Chen Yun said to her mother with a smile.

She heard her mother say, "Is Zirui okay? He's still young, you must take good care of him. I bought a lot of clothes for children this time, so you don't have to buy clothes for the child until he turns one."

Chen Yun was still very moved when she heard her mother's words. After all, no matter where you are, it's good to have someone thinking about you.

"Mom, say something to Zi Rui too, so he can get familiar with your voice..."

Chen Yun put the receiver next to the baby's ear. Zhang Meixiang on the opposite side kept talking. Looking at the baby's expression, people who didn't know would think that she understood everything. Chen Yun kissed the baby, put him in her arms and talked to Zhang Meixiang.

Zhang Meixiang told her a lot about how to keep in shape, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.

A few days later, Chen Yun received an invitation to the wedding of Teacher Xiao Dai, who had a good relationship with her at school. Teacher Xiao Dai had known the man for a few months and they felt good about each other. They were of the same age, so they quickly decided to go. Chen Yun originally planned not to go because of the favor, but Teacher Xiao Dai strongly requested that she not go well with many people at school, and Chen Yun was the only one with whom she had a good relationship, so she invited her to go.

At this point, Chen Yun could only say she was leaving. She squeezed the milk and put it in the refrigerator, kissed the baby, and went out.

Because she was on maternity leave at home, she hadn't walked past the school for a long time. She found that there were more shops in front of the school, selling stationery, snacks, and fruits. It was very lively here because Hongqi School was a kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school in one. Not only were there many people, but there were also many people buying things.

She walked past here, crossed a few streets, and arrived at Teacher Xiao Dai's home. Teacher Xiao Dai's family conditions were neither good nor bad, and the same was true for the person she was looking for. She was very happy to see Chen Yun and introduced her to her parents.

Chen Yun not only gave her a gift of 20 yuan, but also a pair of key chains she made herself. Teacher Dai was very happy to receive them and showed them off to her relatives. One of her relatives asked Chen Yun with great interest, "Teacher Chen, did you make these yourself?"

She nodded. "Yes, I made this at home. I like to make little things when I have nothing to do."

Her relative then asked, "Can you make some dolls? Excuse me, I have a counter in the newly opened Dragon City Department Store that specializes in selling toys."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun knew there was a way. She said, "I can make it at home. Last time, I made a Mickey Mouse for someone else. All the toys my son has now are made by me."

The relative pointed at the keychain and said, "I see that the lion embroidery ball on it is small, but it will look good if it is enlarged. How about this? I will cover the cost and give you 20 yuan for the labor. You can make a bigger lion embroidery ball for me."

Chen Yun is not stupid. Her parents are businessmen. She is also half in the same business. "As far as I know, there are many toy factories in Guangzhou now. It's much cheaper to buy in bulk, right?"

Teacher Xiao Dai's relative is called Auntie. She is about 30 years old, with straight black hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a leather jacket. She looks very fashionable.

She said: "Bulk goods are cheaper, but I only have a small shop. My husband has leg discomfort again this year and is in the hospital, so I can't go anywhere."

Chen Yun said cautiously, "How about this? I don't want you to spend any money. I'll make a toy or something small and leave it with you to sell. It's like I rent your small shop. I'll share the money with you. If you can't sell it, I'll give you ten yuan a month as rent. What do you think?"

It is enough to open a small shop in the shopping mall. Basically, the most expensive one is only a few hundred yuan. A place like Longcheng is not like Jiangcheng. If the place is not very big, a hundred yuan a month will be enough.

Teacher Dai's relative was also a smart person. She did not agree and just laughed it off.

Chen Yun didn't think it mattered. She still wanted to do business on her own and didn't want to be controlled by others. She said that just to test the integrity of this partner. Seeing that she directly rejected her idea, Chen Yun understood, but it would be better to make things by herself when the time comes than to sell them directly to others.

Later, Teacher Dai's relatives simply stopped talking to her, which made Chen Yun feel that even if the deal failed, there was still friendship. Her family was in business, and they always greeted people with a smile. How could they be so cold if they didn't agree with the conversation?

After returning from the banquet, Chen Yun changed her clothes and went to the living room to talk to Feng Yu about what happened today. "Originally, she said she would give me 20 yuan for the labor fee, but I felt that it would be very hard if she only paid me this amount. It would be better to cooperate with her for a long time. So she ignored me. I'm thinking that I might as well open a jewelry and doll store of my own."

People of Feng Yu's generation are always a little reserved about doing business. She said, "Forget it. This is tiring. I'd rather be a teacher. It's much easier."

Seeing her mother-in-law say this, Chen Yun just smiled and did not refute.

However, opening a small shop of her own obviously fits her idea and is also her dream. If her shop is a little bigger, she can put some books on the side and a few tables next to the bookshelf. She can make some desserts in the front and put all her dolls and small videos behind the bookshelf. It would be great if people who come in can read books while drinking dessert.

She couldn't do it now because the child was still young and the conditions didn't allow it. Chen Yun carried the baby into the house and went to sleep.

The tall mother next door was furious. She realized how difficult it was when she took her child to get the vaccination alone. She was also an older person, and unlike Feng Yu and Chen Yun, she could not help. Zhu Xiaofang was now just running the counter and basically did not do housework. She was now doing housework and taking care of the child, and had to run around. She couldn't sleep well with the child at night. She didn't know how to read when she went to the hospital. She wanted to go with Chen Yun and the others, but they were going next month, and this month's vaccination had already been done. The baby was too young, and the adults were too emotional. The child was hungry and uncomfortable, and couldn't help crying.

The houses they live in nowadays are not very soundproof. Normally, if the noise is small, the neighbors can't hear it. If the noise is loud, it will disturb the neighbors. Zi Rui was sleeping soundly with his mother, but he was woken up and started crying softly.

Feng Yu had to go over and take care of him.

When Feng Yu came over, Gao's mother was busy making milk powder because Zhu Xiaofang did not have enough breast milk and she herself said she was not in good health. So Gao's mother was afraid that she would pass the disease to the child, so now she only lets the child drink milk powder.

"Sister-in-law Gao, what's wrong with the child? Is he feeling unwell?"

Aunt Gao said awkwardly: "No, I'm just hungry."

After she finished speaking, she watched Feng Yu skillfully help her make milk, and she felt a little more relaxed. Feng Yu pushed the door open and walked into Zhu Xiaofang's room again: "Xiaofang, are you feeling better?"

Zhu Xiaofang sighed, "I'm not as lucky as Yunyun. I guess it's because I held the baby too much during the confinement period. My arms and wrists still hurt, and my lower body doesn't feel comfortable either. There's nothing I can do but stay in bed for a few more days."

In fact, Zhu Xiaofang was also having a hard time staying in bed during the confinement period. The cooking oil cooked by Gao’s mother was too much, which caused her milk to be blocked. Her chest hurt every day, her vagina was sometimes clean and sometimes not, and sometimes she had to take care of the child. It was really too painful. That’s why she decided to stay in bed for a few more days. Besides, isn’t it just a few more days of confinement? Why does everyone seem to dislike her?

Since Chen Yun came out of confinement so early, does she have to be the same?

If she doesn't take good care of her own health, how will she take care of her children in the future? After all, her body is her own, she can take care of it however she wants, and no one else has the right to interfere.

Seeing her say this, Feng Yu smiled and said, "This lochia can't be completely expelled. Go to the gynecology department for a check-up. It's not comfortable to stay at home like this, right?"

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door don't take care of their child, they won't be able to sleep once their child cries in the future.

Zhu Xiaofang shook her head: "No, I'll just rest at home." She didn't dare to say that it might be because she was filming with her child in her arms at the time, so her body was too tired.

Seeing this, Feng Yu had no choice but to go back. Fortunately, Chen Yun gently coaxed Zi Rui in his ear, so the child did not wake up.

Chen Yun heard crying from next door and frowned, "If a child cries like this, his voice will definitely become hoarse. How do they raise a child? He has been crying for so long and he still can't stop?" The main thing was that if Zi Rui, who was making noises for her, didn't say anything, it would not be good for the child.

"Don't mention it. Her mother-in-law was so busy, but she was still lying on the bed motionless. Although it is said that taking good care of oneself during the confinement period is also important, how could someone completely ignore their own child? Don't you know that if I hadn't been there, Gao's mother wouldn't have been able to prepare the milk powder properly, the child was crying, and the water was hot. What if it got burned somewhere? Not to mention asking her for help, at least she could have given her a hand." Even Feng Yu was a little dissatisfied. As outsiders, they couldn't say anything, but seeing the child crying like that, anyone would have sympathy!
