However, no one cared about what Old Lady Ma thought, not even Erni.
She was lying on the bed wearing a hat, a cotton-padded jacket, and covered with a thick quilt, complaining to her elder sister that she was almost dying of heat.
"They said I couldn't get out of bed or get cold, and I had to wear a cotton hat even when I slept. I felt like I was sweating all over." She pouted, a little unhappy. This is only the first day! There's still a month to go.
Dani smiled and tucked the corner of the quilt for him. "Isn't this how Mom goes through every time she gives birth? It was summer when she gave birth to Bani. She didn't wear a hat, and there was a gust of wind. The headache hasn't gone away yet. It's almost winter now, so just be obedient."
"That's right, that's what I told her. In order to avoid suffering in old age, she has to keep it under control now." Erni's mother-in-law brought in two bowls of sugar water, one to Dani and the other to Erni.
"Her aunt, the family was so busy today that we didn't have time to treat you. Please don't be offended by the mere bowl of sugar water..."
Dani quickly stood up and took the bowl with both hands, "Oh, grandma, you are so polite! Don't worry about me, I can pour it myself if I am really thirsty..."
"How can that be! This is too unruly in my family!" Erni's mother-in-law just had a granddaughter today. She was in high spirits. After giving the water to Dani, she urged her daughter-in-law to drink the water quickly.
"Er Ni, have you peed yet? Drink more water to replenish your energy, and then pee quickly! Don't be shy, just shout when you need to pee, and I'll bring you a toilet... In the past, there were women who died from holding their urine after giving birth..."
Erni was so frightened by her mother-in-law that her face turned pale and she quickly drank water. She had drunk too much sugar water today and her mouth felt greasy.
Zhao Degang's sister Linghua was sitting beside her, holding her little niece. She had been watching the baby sleeping. Suddenly, the baby in the cradle opened its mouth and yawned, and its mouth was moving. Linghua called out softly,
"Mom, sister-in-law, doesn't the baby need milk? Won't he be hungry?"
"Not today! The baby has to be hungry right after birth, there is still time to feed it tomorrow!" After saying this, Erni's grandmother stretched her head to look, and she didn't even realize how funny she was laughing.
"Look at how red this child is now. She will definitely be white when she grows up! God bless her and she will look like Erni, but please don't look like my Degang, otherwise she will never be able to get married..."
Both Dani and Erni were drinking water. When they heard what she said, they laughed out loud and almost choked. Dani was relieved. Erni's mother-in-law really treated Erni well and didn't mind her giving birth to a granddaughter.
This is good, at least they live a more comfortable life than their biological mother.
Just after drinking a bowl of water, there was a commotion outside, with a bunch of female voices chattering. Da Ni and Er Ni knew that someone from the Ma family had come.
Da Ni quickly stood up and went out to greet her sisters. Er Ni also wanted to get up, but her mother-in-law came forward and held her shoulders, "Oh, my dear, please don't get up. Lie down, I'll go out and take a look..."
Having too many sisters in the house makes a lot of noise. Da Ni specifically told her sisters not to make any noise while the children were asleep. So Er Ni watched the stream of people coming in, each of them keeping their mouths shut, looking very secretive.
Erni chuckled, "What are you doing?"
"Second sister, are you okay?" Fifth and Sixth Ni rushed to Erni's bed together, their eyes red. They were both raised by First and Second Ni, and they had a special relationship.
Ever since I knew Erni was pregnant, I came to see her whenever I had time and always used my own pocket to buy supplements for her. In the end, I only stopped when Erni said she couldn't finish the food and couldn't eat anymore.
Maybe because she became a mother, Erni’s smile now has a hint of maternal nature. She touches the two little heads and smiles with a loving face.
"I'm fine, and your niece is fine too. The doctor said she's very healthy. She must have eaten all the food you bought."
Liu Ni: "Really? Does she like it? Then I'll buy it tomorrow!"
Si Ni nodded at her with a smile, "Why don't you buy something that Second Sister can eat? The baby is still so young and can only drink milk!"
"Wow! Is this my niece? Why is she so wrinkled and red, like a monkey's butt?"
Jiu Ni followed behind her sisters, and after turning her head for a long time, she found Ling Hua holding a child in the corner. She moved over carefully and expressed her shock in the lowest voice. As a result, she was hit on the head by San Ni.
"You looked like a monkey's butt when you were born too!"
"Impossible! I'm so cute!" Jiu Ni retorted, covering her forehead, making everyone in the room laugh. This time, she couldn't hold it in, and the noise was a little louder. The baby in the cradle suddenly puckered up and started crying loudly.
Linghua was so scared that she quickly stood up and hugged the child to comfort him. Erni's mother-in-law also went forward to take the child and coaxed him for a long time without stopping.
"Making trouble! Look, she's unhappy because you said she was ugly!" Sanni scared Jiuni. Jiuni thought it was really her fault, and she pouted, looking like she was about to cry.
Lin Yulan hurried over and took the child from her in-laws. She didn't know if it was luck or her experience in raising many children, but the baby really stopped crying in her hands not long after, and fell asleep with a pout on his face.
"Oh, she has to be the mother-in-law!" Erni's mother-in-law said admiringly. The mother who gave birth to 9 daughters is indeed more experienced than her three daughters.
Lin Yulan probably had never heard anyone praise her before, so this praise made her blush.
Erni's mother-in-law pulled Linghua out, saying that she was going to pour water for everyone. Zhao De just walked to the door and wanted to come in, but was also pulled away by her, leaving the space to Erni's family.
This is the first youngest of the Ma family. The eight aunts are very curious about him. They take turns surrounding Lin Yulan just to take a look. Because of their previous experience, they dare not make a sound. The scene was extremely weird for a while.
Erni looked at her sisters surrounding her daughter with eager eyes, and suddenly she wanted to see it too, "Mom, I want to see it too!" The tone of her voice was similar to Jiuni's as she stood on tiptoe to get closer.
Lin Yulan looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, "How come you act like a child now that you're a mother?"
But she still sat down on the edge of the bed and held the child over to her. "Here, look!"
Erni reached out to hold her, but Lin Yulan pulled back, "You just gave birth, don't hold her yet. There will be times in the future when you will have to hold her, and you won't be able to do so even if you don't want to."
She looked at her granddaughter in her arms, then looked at her daughter, and sighed,
"You finally caught up with a good era. Just raise a child well. It will be good for both the child and yourself."
