Lin Shumei once asked her brothers and sisters what they usually did on their wedding night.
As a result, one by one they blushed out of shyness and some even glared at her.
Only Lin Shuchao answered her seriously - counting the red envelopes.
But after the wedding was over, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Her legs no longer belonged to her. She lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all, let alone count the red envelopes.
But Xu Xuejun, after lying with her for a while, stood up and asked,
"Are you hungry?" Although he didn't have to change clothes and put on makeup all the time, he didn't eat much. He was either forced to drink or was pulled aside to say hello to this uncle or that uncle.
Ever since I achieved some success in my career, I haven't felt this hungry to the point of cramping for a long time.
Lin Shumei shook her head and said, "My grandma just brought me food."
Then he nodded again, "…but I'm still so hungry."
"Then I'll go down and see if there's anything to eat." Xu Xuejun suddenly felt that the two of them talking quietly head-to-head like this was like thieves, but also extremely interesting. As they talked, he moved a little closer and kissed his beautiful bride today.
"Would you like it hot or cold?"
Lin Shumei was attacked but didn't bother to raise her hands. She yawned and asked, "Do you have hot or cold dishes to choose from?"
"Of course not!" Xu Xuejun recalled the arrangements for the wedding downstairs today. "If you want something cold... there are cakes and fruits, or milk drinks. If you want something hot... I'll make you a bowl of egg fried rice."
Lin Shumei: ...
"Grandma and Mom and Dad are all asleep!"
Their wedding today was held in town, so it would definitely not be convenient to live in the new house in the provincial capital, so they decided to return to the village and live in the wedding room prepared by the Xu family.
"Yeah, it's okay to sleep! Do you want to eat? I'll make it!"
Lin Shumei hesitated for three seconds, then nodded, "Eat! Make a bigger portion!"
"Understood!"
Therefore, Lin Shumei's wedding night was somewhat different from that of her brothers and sisters. She and her husband sat on the bed and ate a large portion of fried rice.
Because I almost choked, I drank another bottle of milk.
Then I managed to hold on.
By the time I finished my meal, washed up, and went to bed, it was already late at night.
The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, I looked at other people's ambiguous smiles.
It was really hard for her to imagine what was going on in these people's minds...
***
In a sense, Xu Xuejun and Lin Shumei are both workaholics.
The two of them chose the right time to get married and have children. One chose a time when the market was closed during holidays, and the other chose a time when the company had finished a big project and was not busy.
Including deciding when to have a child, Lin Shumei looked through the company's one-year or even three-year plans before deciding it would be best to give birth, recuperate, and take maternity leave during a certain period within these plans.
Chen Chunhua said that they should not do business, but should engage in scientific research. Their dedication to their careers is absolutely unmatched by others.
But at least, everything goes according to their plan.
Lin Shumei's pregnancy was better than her sisters and sisters-in-law. She didn't experience any nausea or morning sickness, nor did she experience any bleeding, nausea, or dizziness. Her appetite was also normal, and she ate whatever she wanted.
She can even walk briskly to work and meetings at the company.
Youqing's mother asked her daughter-in-law to ask her granddaughter-in-law if she needed someone to take care of her.
Before he could even ask about his grandson's wife, he was stopped by his grandson.
"No, we can take care of it ourselves."
Chen Chunhua also asked Lin Shumei if she needed her to go over and take care of her.
Lin Shumei also refused, "I'm fine! What's there to take care of?"
Xu Xuejun wakes up every morning, prepares breakfast and packed lunches for both of them, and then drives his wife to work. In the afternoon, he leaves work on time, goes grocery shopping, picks up his wife, and then goes home to cook.
The househusband is enjoying his work, and the pregnant woman is enjoying the food, and for the time being, no one wants their parents to interfere.
When she was about to give birth, her belly became too big to move around easily, so she started to rest at home half a month before the due date. Xu Xuejun had to go to work during the day to earn money, so it was really beyond his ability to handle it alone, so he called his mother-in-law to come.
Youqing's wife was very unhappy that her son stepped over her and called her mother-in-law, and she even called to ask,
"Do you have any problem with me? I gave birth to you three siblings, so why can't I serve your wife?"
Xu Xuejun quickly coaxed her and said that it was not true.
"Of course my own mother knows me better! If I were bedridden and Shumei couldn't take care of me, she wouldn't call my mother-in-law. She would definitely call you, right?"
I’m so fucking angry, what a crappy example!
In the end, Xu Xuejun called his father, and Youqing went home and told her about it.
"How many mothers-in-law who serve their daughters-in-law don't complain? You're the one who complains the most. Xuejun didn't want you to go because he didn't want you and Shumei to break up. Are you rushing to start a quarrel?
"I've called Chunhua over, so it saves you some trouble. We can just show our gratitude to her and buy her some gifts. What else do you want? You're going to come back after everyone else has gone? What? Are you trying to steal work points?!"
This temporarily calmed down.
"Then, should I go and take care of her during her confinement?"
"If someone calls you, go! If no one calls you, we pay! Just consider it a blessing!"
Lin Shumei had no intention of having any mother take care of her during her confinement.
Several postpartum care centers have opened in the provincial capital over the past two years. I heard they were all imported from Taiwan, specializing in postpartum and infant care. They not only help mothers recover quickly and improve breastfeeding success rates, but also provide professional care and nursing for newborns.
She and Xu Xuejun went to see the environment when her belly was five or six months old. The services seemed quite high-end, including private care, professional nutritious meals and comfortable accommodation.
At that time, she decided to stay in a confinement center.
She had seen her mother taking care of her sister and sister-in-law during their confinement, and it was really tiring.
Especially when Lin Xiaobao was born, she was very fussy and would cry all night. Her mother said that mothers should hold their babies less during the confinement period, so she and her third brother took turns holding the baby and coaxing him.
They didn't sleep for whole nights, and when they were out of the confinement period, their mental state was worse than that of my third sister-in-law.
She didn't want this to happen. Whether it was Xu Xuejun's mother or her own mother, they would feel distressed. It would be better to just spend the money and settle the matter.
Chen Chunhua was also very happy when she knew that she had booked a confinement center. One reason was that it really saved her trouble, and the other was that she had always been curious about confinement centers. She had never been there in her previous life, so she wanted to take a good look at it in this life.
