Chapter 396 Encounter
Lu Chun'e gave birth to a beautiful little girl in the early morning of November 22nd. The couple named her "Zhou Yuehua."
When Wen Wan stayed in Tonghua Lane, she would go to Lu Chun'e to see the child every day. The little guy grew very fast. His eyes were like grapes and they opened after a few days. His little face became whiter little by little.
Zhou Mingli was busy even after being transferred back, and could only be seen in the morning and evening.
They said that they were cleaning up another yard and they might move there after Lu Chun'e's baby is one month old. It was closer to where Zhou Mingli worked.
It seems unnecessary to stay in Tonghua Lane. We are no longer children and everyone has our own life and career.
Besides, the weather is getting colder, and the old house over there has floor heating, which is more comfortable.
Wen Wan couldn't stay in Tonghua Lane forever. She was very afraid of the cold, and now that she was pregnant, she couldn't stand the cold here. When she gave birth to Dandan before, she was far away and the conditions didn't allow it. Now that she was back, Wen Shihua had to have someone stay in front of him and watch over him no matter what.
Once she goes back, it will be impossible for Lu Dongping to come here every day. As for Lu Donglin, he will move wherever he is needed, and he will stay with Ai Shang when he comes back.
Since they might not be living here permanently for the time being, Wen Wan cleaned the kitchen carefully and asked Lu Dongping to take all the food to Ai Shang.
Her thick clothes, books, and some drawings were all packed up.
Zhang Qianfeng drove over to pick her up, brought all her things back to the compound, and began her pregnancy days.
When Lu Dongping went to see Lu Chun'e again, little girl Zhou Yuehua had already learned to roll over.
Lu Chun'e didn't grow much when she was pregnant, but she grew a lot during the confinement period. Her face became white and rosy, and she looked like she did when she was in school.
It seems that the nanny we hired is taking good care of the child.
"Last time I heard my sister-in-law say that you and Donglin were planning to go back for the New Year this year. You are so busy now, do you still have time to go back?"
The most important thing is that Wen Wan is pregnant now, so if he goes back now, he won’t be able to feel at ease. But they really haven’t been back for several years.
Lu Dongping sighed: "I mentioned it once when I was talking to Brother Dongcheng on the phone. I was planning to go back and I also told your sister-in-law, but now, as you said, I may not be able to go back."
Lu Chun'e nodded: "If you can't go back, then don't go back. It's a special time. By the way, have you told your family that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Lu Dongping was stunned for a moment. He had really forgotten about this.
He was so busy all day long that he hadn't written home or called Lu Dongcheng for a while.
Lu Chun'e chuckled: "Then take some time to write a letter home. Write it early and tell them that my sister-in-law is pregnant. Let them know as soon as possible that you won't be going back this year so they don't have to wait in vain. If my parents knew that my sister-in-law is pregnant again, they would definitely be very happy."
Wen Wan had always been concerned about Lu Dongping's plan to return home at the end of the year, and Wen Shihua knew it too. After all, Lu Dongping had come all the way to the capital and had been living here. It was too far away, and he hadn't been back for several years, so it was only right for him to visit.
Just after the winter solstice, Wen Shihua asked him, "I heard from Wanwan that you and Donglin are planning to go back for the New Year this year. How is your work going over there? When do you plan to leave?"
Lu Dongping put down the notebook in his hand and said, "I won't go back this year. Wanwan is in poor health, and I can't feel at ease if I go back."
Wen Wan happened to come down from upstairs and heard him say, "Don't worry, I stay at home all day and night. What do you have to worry about? The baby is still young and there is an aunt at home taking care of her day and night. You don't have to worry about me."
Then he sat down on the sofa and said, "You haven't been back for a few years. Chun'e misses home too. She cried when she talked to me last time. But she must be in trouble again this year. It's too cold, the children are too young, and it's too far. She can't go back. If you and Donglin can go back and visit, please go. If, if it doesn't delay, it would be great if Mom and Dad are willing to come and visit."
"I, I can't do this. I originally had to go to work and didn't have time to be with you guys. Now that I don't have to go to work, it's even more impossible."
She would never be able to let go of that place and the people there, and she could never go back to the way things were at the beginning. But she belonged to her, and she couldn't stop Lu Dongping from going back.
It is not easy for anyone to be pregnant for ten months and then raise a baby for another ten years.
But Lu Dongping had made up her mind, and she said it would be useless no matter how much she said.
"It's not entirely because of you. I really can't leave here before and after the New Year. After the New Year, everything in the workshop has to be moved out of the city. Raw materials, machines, manpower, all of these need to be increased, and I'm too busy to handle it. Let's wait until things are completely back on track over there before we talk about going back!"
It’s too far away from home, and going back to visit has become a luxury that I keep putting off.
He had made up his mind, and neither Wen Wan nor Wen Shihua could say anything. Thinking about it, it was indeed true. Everything was getting underway right now, and no one was idle. Even Wen Wan, who was pregnant, couldn't stay idle at home all the time.
Besides completing orders for Ai Shang, Wen Wan now spent the rest of her time working with Chen Dongshuang on design drawings. The winter clothes had just arrived, and while the workshop was still working on them, they had already started preparing for spring clothes.
The workshop has only about ten people and a dozen or so machines. Quality control is strict, and with a relatively wide variety of styles, supplying two stores is a bit of a struggle. But things are a bit better now than when the new products were just released. But Ren Jiu can't relax, as business picks up again in the twelfth lunar month every year.
Wen Wan used to think she was quite wealthy. As long as she didn't spend too lavishly, she could live out the rest of her life sitting still. But now she felt really poor! She was always making money, but her budget was always stretched.
She has had her driver's license for a long time and wants to buy a car, but she still can't afford it.
Money is something that people love and hate.
Ai Shang recruited two new girls, and Chen Dongshuang started running back and forth between the two sides.
Li Laiyu was a month older than Wen Wan and was already six months pregnant. In the freezing cold, she stayed at Wuguan Street to nurse her baby and rarely went to the shop. Chen Dongshuang would deliver the orders to her, and after she finished them, Xu Qingming would take them back to the shop.
The same thing happened to Wen Wan. Perhaps it was because she was expecting her second child, but her five-month-old belly felt even bigger than Li Laiyu's six-month-old belly.
After the morning sickness was completely over, her appetite increased significantly. She wanted to eat meat at every meal, and she didn't like light food. She liked both sour and spicy food.
Her temper is also changeable, especially when she is eating. If the meal is not satisfactory, she will be so sad that tears will fall down.
Even so, his face was still pale, and his stomach was swelling so fast that it was a little scary.
Lu Dongping took time out to accompany her to the hospital for another checkup. With Xu's aunt and cousin there, the examination was very thorough.
Then, the two of them knew why the belly was so big.
This time there were two in my belly.
It's really surprising and delightful.
Zhou Ping warned her, "Be sure to pay attention. Your period will come in two weeks. Twins usually can't wait until the due date and will go into labor early. You still need to be a little more restrained in your diet. If you can walk around in the morning and evening, continue to do so. This way, things will go more smoothly and you'll suffer less." Twins are difficult. Wen Wan could tell from her face that everything she ate was being absorbed by both of them. If one child grew up too well, the birth would be a near-death experience. It was terrifying.
When it comes to big things like children and childbirth, Wen Wan is still very obedient.
After that, no matter how upset she felt, she tried to maintain the same eating frequency as a normal person. She couldn't get up in the morning, but she would always go out for a walk after eating. In addition, she was not always idle at home. Apart from sleeping, she spent most of her time busy in the studio, so her activity level was not small.
Lu Dongping, on the other hand, was once again thankful that he hadn't returned home this year. It was hard enough raising one child, let alone two. So, in this situation, what was the point of leaving Wen Wan here all alone? Even though she was at home, as her husband, he was irreplaceable.
No matter how busy he is, he will come back here in the evening.
Winter in the north is really cold. Unlike the damp cold in the south, the biting chill is like a knife.
The sun came out at noon, but gradually lost its effect due to the interference of the cold wind.
Even so, Wen Wan still likes to go out at noon. Even if the sun doesn't do anything, it's still the sun, and it's out, so it means good weather.
The aunt at home was worried about her being alone and always followed her.
It wasn't far to walk, just from the doorstep to the sports field in the compound, walking around it and then walking back, which took more than half an hour.
When Wen Wan came back, she saw a girl wearing a camel-colored wool coat and a pair of long braids standing at the door looking into the yard.
When I got closer, I found that he was an acquaintance and a neighbor.
Before she could speak, Chen Wenqin called her out: "Sister Wenwan, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Didn't you go to school today?"
"Just got back from school. Sister, are you home alone?"
Wen Wan looked her over, smiled faintly and nodded: "Those who work go to work, those who go to school go to school. Apart from Auntie, I'm the only one at home with nothing to do. Are you busy? If not, come over and visit me."
Of course, she was just being polite. After all, they didn't have much contact with each other.
Wen Wan had few friends in the compound as a child. The few she had, like Zhou Mingli, were someone she met when Xu Qi secretly took her out to play. It was even more impossible to have friends with a girl like Chen Wenqin, who was almost ten years her junior.
When she went to the countryside, Chen Wenqin was still a carefree child.
The two people had no connection at all, they just knew each other and nodded and said hello when they met.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wenqin agreed to her request after a casual greeting. The little girl's face was full of confusion and desire: "Is it okay? Will it disturb you?"
