After Lin Shuchao's wedding was over, Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi accompanied Lin Shuying back to Shanghai.
Lin Shuying gave birth to a chubby little girl in the spring.
Chen Chunhua's baby was not good. During the confinement period, the child was basically like growing in her hand.
Lin Shuying's birth went smoothly. She received just the right amount of nutrition during pregnancy, the baby was the perfect size, there was no episiotomy or tearing, and both mother and daughter were healthy.
But Chen Chunhua still spent money to hire an experienced confinement nanny, and let her eldest daughter stay in the old villa for the full two months of confinement before going out.
Huang's mother couldn't help much, so she could only come every day to report for duty, bringing chicken soup or some fruit. These were for Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi, as Lin Shuying's meals were provided by the confinement nanny.
The old couple have become much more open-minded now, and always say that Huang Xinli is lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law and such a good mother-in-law, which also benefits their grandson.
Lin Shuying took good care of herself postpartum, and only lost a few days of weight initially due to breastfeeding. But this weight loss quickly subsided, and her weight remained at the same level as before her pregnancy. When she left the confinement period, she looked incredibly healthy and radiant.
However, Chen Chunhua did not sleep well because she had to sleep with the confinement nanny at night with her child and often had to get up at night. Her complexion looked much worse and she had lost a lot of weight.
Lin Shumei just graduated from university and came to Shanghai to visit her mother and sister. Seeing their spirits, she was amazed.
"Mom, if someone didn't know, they would think you gave me another sister..."
Chen Chunhua was so angry that she pretended to tear her mouth apart, "You are becoming more and more outrageous, aren't you!"
Lin Shumei giggled and dodged.
As Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua had expected, Lin Shumei was not eligible to be assigned a job after graduation and needed to find a job on her own.
This girl is not afraid at all. Before graduation, she said that she and some seniors were working on information technology, and she also said that she wanted to work in the Internet.
Lin Guoqing knew nothing about this thing, but Chen Chunhua... although she didn't understand the core at all, it didn't prevent her from knowing that this thing had great prospects.
"If you want to work, work hard. If you need money, tell your family." Chen Chunhua paused here and said, "It's just a loan from your family. You can pay it back when you make money."
Lin Shumei blinked and asked, "What if there's no money to be made, and we lose it all?"
Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes and said, "Then deduct it from the inheritance I'll give you in the future."
"Oh." Lin Shumei shrugged, indicating that she understood.
Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi did not stay in Shanghai any longer. When Huang Yueyue, Lin Shuying's daughter, was half a year old, they returned to Sihe Village together.
The house that Lin Shuying had rented out before was taken back when she was in confinement. Huang's father and mother helped to renovate it. When Chen Chunhua and her family returned, Lin Shuying and her family moved into the big house with their daughter, and the house bought by the Huang family was rented out again.
According to Liang Shengdi, it was purely because of the trouble they had gone through before. If they had lived in a big house from the beginning, they could have saved a lot of trouble.
Chen Chunhua didn't say anything. This was the result of discussion between Huang Xinli and Lin Shuying. Since Lin Shuying had agreed to it before, she would have to bear the trouble later.
Life experience is accumulated from such troubles.
Chen Chunhua originally thought that she could officially take a break after returning to Sihe Village.
As a result, Qin Hong also announced the good news, saying that she was pregnant in exactly two months and the due date was at the end of May next year.
On Lin Shuying's side, she was considered a grandmother, and there was a grandmother on the other side who could take care of her until she was almost gone. On Qin Hong's side, she had to be the real grandmother, and there was no grandmother on the other side, so Shen Chunhua couldn't escape.
Chen Chunhua: ...Is this the retribution for having too many children?
Liang Shengdi, showing her big teeth, sat on the chair and asked Qin Hong, "What do you want to eat tonight? Grandma is going to buy it now~"
The old lady has been helping to take care of the baby for half a year and is now a little addicted to it.
Especially when she saw Yueyue's toothless little mouth smiling at her, all the immoral things she had done in her life seemed to be sublimated.
She really wants to be alive! She wants to see her great-granddaughter get married and have children, and then call her "ancestor"!
Qin Hong's morning sickness was not serious, and she was healthier than Lin Shuying. Her prenatal check-ups all came back positive, so she didn't just stay at home and not work.
Originally, she quit her job at the factory after marriage and helped Lin Shuchao expand the hardware store business. Now she still reports to the store every day, but Lin Shuchao doesn't allow her to do anything, and at most she just keeps accounts.
He didn't know where he heard these unscientific rumors, such as that eating grapes would give birth to children with big eyes, so he went around looking for grapes to buy for Qin Hong; and that goose eggs could clear fetal toxins, so he went to other people's homes to buy goose eggs; Qin Hong wanted to eat strawberries, but he heard that eating too many strawberries would give birth to a child with pockmarks on his face, so he stopped buying her any.
In the end, Chen Chunhua slapped him on the back of the head, cursing and saying,
"Did anyone tell you what to eat to make your child smart? If I could go back twenty years, I would have eaten like crazy when I was pregnant with you, to avoid giving birth to a fool!"
Where did all these nonsense come from? She had never heard of them.
"If a person's eyes are as thin as slits, how can he expect to grow big eyes by eating grapes? Would he believe that the child is his biological child?"
"Your wife said goose eggs are disgusting and she doesn't want to eat them, but you still bought them! They don't even have ears! They're also for clearing fetal toxins! In the past, people didn't have goose eggs to eat. Will the child be born with toxins all over his body?"
"She wants something sour, but it's the baby in your belly that wants something sour! You insisted on buying her something sweet. Aren't you afraid that the baby won't be filial to you when the time comes?"
…
Lin Shuchao is not a real male chauvinist, but he has always been a bit reckless. He needs someone to keep him on his toes, otherwise he will be in trouble if he is not beaten for three days.
After he got married, Chen Chunhua and Liang Shengdi went to Shanghai to take care of his sister. Lin Guoqing simply lived in the factory most of the time to make room for him and Qin Hong, the newlyweds, and he was completely free for a while.
Qin Hong always followed Lin Shuchao's lead even when there was nothing serious to do. Perhaps she gave him too much freedom, which made him a little overconfident, leading to these incidents.
Chen Chunhua became more obedient after being scolded. She no longer made any goose egg or grape dishes. She just bought whatever the obedient wife wanted to eat.
Qin Hong didn't feel any pity for her husband when he was humiliated. After all, he didn't feel pity for her either, forcing her to eat something she didn't want to eat. She giggled and looked at her mother-in-law with eyes of great admiration.
It’s great to have a reliable elder at home!
