Chapter 407 Full Moon
Within two days of returning home, the news that Wen Wan had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, spread, and all the relatives and friends who needed to know knew about it.
There is a constant stream of guests at home.
Lu Chun'e was originally going to go back there after the second day of the Chinese New Year, but after knowing that she had given birth, she packed up her bags and went back to the compound with the nanny.
Apart from going back to feed the child, she spent most of her time with Wen Wan until almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when Wen Shihua found a reliable nanny.
After half a month, Wen Wan was almost clean and could walk on her own. She felt much better.
Overall, Qiuqiu and Diandian are quite easy to take care of.
Qiuqiu, in particular, would keep quiet as long as he wasn't pooping or peeing, and was full. His big eyes would look around, and it was unclear how far he could see, as if he could see everything clearly. Even when adults were talking, he would turn his head and look in the right direction.
In comparison, Diandian is much more delicate.
He was very weak when he was born, and even his cry was so small, as soft as a kitten.
She didn't eat much, only about half the amount of food I'd eaten. They say the confinement period is when babies grow best, but she didn't grow much. She started having diarrhea just after ten days, and because she was uncomfortable, she was constantly whimpering and crying unless she was feeding or sleeping. Her crying wasn't loud, but it was heartbreaking.
Wen Wan spent this month in confinement, and even with a nanny to help look after her, she still lost a lot of weight because of this little guy.
On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Li Lai Yu also had an attack and was sent to the hospital.
This probably has something to do with her personal constitution. She felt very relaxed when she was pregnant and gave birth much faster than others. She gave birth to a son in just two hours.
Seeing that she usually didn't look pregnant, the baby actually weighed six kilograms. Xu Guoliang and his wife were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Wen Wan couldn't go to see her until she was out of confinement, so Chen Dongshuang went to see her. Lu Dongping and Lu Donglin also went to see her with Dandan. Dandan was still young, so it was difficult for Lu Dongping and the others to enter the house, so he slipped in and took a look at the baby of his aunt's family. Then he found that this baby was a little different from his own, and seemed much fatter!
Fortunately, there were two of them and his uncle only had one, so they had the advantage in numbers. However, he still had to take good care of Qiuqiu and Diandian in the future. It was not like their family couldn't afford food, so how could they be smaller than his uncle's babies?
Wenwan left her confinement on the sixth day of the second lunar month. It was already March 20th in the solar calendar, and it was getting warmer outside.
During this period, there were many guests at home, one after another came to see her and the children.
When she gave birth to her eggs, she was far away in Xinxi and Wen Shihua could not take care of her. Wen Shihua was not present for her wedding or childbirth, so this time Wen Shihua planned to make a big fuss.
Although it was not convenient for them to hold a wedding banquet and they had to set it up in a restaurant outside, the house was already bustling with activity on March 19th.
Wenwan was particular about it. She had to wash her hair every morning and evening during the confinement period, but I never dared let her touch it.
On the afternoon of the 19th, she couldn't hold it in any longer and called Lu Dongping several times to take a shower.
For a particular person, not showering or washing hair for a month is really crazy. Lu Dongping could only satisfy her.
The first thing Wen Wan did after taking a shower was to go to the barber shop to get a haircut.
When she gave birth to her egg, her hair fell all over the floor after the confinement period. The second pregnancy was even more terrible. She felt like she was going bald. After taking a shower, the hair still fell all over the floor. When she wiped her hair half dry, she felt a chill on her head, as if she had become a lot lighter.
I simply went to get my hair cut, not randomly, leaving it a little below my chin. I also asked the barber to curl the tips of my hair a little, which immediately added a unique charm.
Those who came on the 19th were all relatives of his family, as well as people from the compound who had dealings with the Wen family.
Wen Wan packed up and went downstairs with her child to show her face.
Today is the last day, which is also a full month. Zhou Ping and the others helped to weigh the two little ones. Qiuqiu is growing really well, weighing 8.2 jins, and Diandian is 6.8 jins. Although not as big as his brother, they are still very good.
His face had clearly grown older, and his bright eyes kept glancing at this and that, while he handed red envelopes to the two little guys. Tired of receiving red envelopes, he yawned and quickly fell asleep.
The house was always bustling with people coming and going, but everyone was busy, so they just came to take a look, sit for a while, say a few congratulations, and then leave.
Chen Wenqin came with her mother. The two families lived close to each other, so no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still had to consider their face, and interpersonal relationships were inevitable.
This was her second time visiting the Wen family.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lu Donglin in the living room.
Chen Dongshuang was holding Qiuqiu in his arms. He stood by to join in the fun. He held a bell tied with a red rope in his hand and shook it gently twice, sometimes on Qiuqiu's left side and sometimes on his right side, attracting Qiuqiu's gaze around. He found it very interesting.
Chen Dongshuang laughed: "You're so tired all the time!"
"No, I think it's fun and not tiring at all."
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Qiuqiu."
"Just sleep if you're tired. He's so young anyway, and there's nothing else to do except eat and sleep."
Chen Wenqin watched from the doorway, seeing the two people standing so close to each other, laughing and whispering, and she felt like she couldn't breathe for a moment. She felt that the ventilation in the Wen family's living room was poor and it was stuffy and uncomfortable.
Mother Chen came into the room, stood at the door for a moment, and then quietly retreated.
She doesn't like the Wen family and will never come again.
As for that man, she never wanted to see him again.
Lu Donglin was so busy playing with Qiuqiu that he didn't even notice that there was one more person or one less person at the living room door.
Over there, Diandian was already whimpering in Wenwan's arms, unhappy and fussing over sleep. As if by telepathy, Qiuqiu also began to yawn.
Lu Donglin said to Chen Dongshuang: "Come, let me hold him, I will coax him to sleep."
Chen Dongshuang was a little worried about him: "Can you do it?"
"Why not? I held that little brat Lu Hongkang in my arms a lot when he was little."
Aunt Zhou said to Wen Wan, "Look, Donglin and that girl Dongshuang look so good together. If this goes through, their relationship will definitely be as good as yours and Dongping's."
Wen Wan looked at it, smiled and shook her head: "It's good, but Lu Donglin may not mean that. He is completely clueless."
"Then ask Dongping to ask him and give him some advice. This place is far from home, and you, as the brother and sister-in-law, have to worry about the marriage. I think it's pretty good, much better than that so-and-so or that so-and-so."
Wen Wan sighed. Relationships weren't something that could just be considered good just because others thought it was good. Never mind. She'd find a chance to ask Lu Donglin what he meant.
On March 20th, the hotel was packed with people.
Xu Qingming came the day before, but didn't come today to stay home with his wife and son. Xu Guoliang and Wang Mengfang came instead.
The last time the Wen family held a ceremony was when Wen Wan was born. It has been more than 20 years since then. Just imagine how lively it will be this time.
When his daughter held a full-moon banquet, Wen Shihua became the focus.
After Wen Wan returned to the city and learned that she had married and had children in the countryside, everyone who knew him felt sorry for her.
Surviving through the hail of bullets and climbing to her current position is something many people never achieve in their entire lives and need to look up to. It's a shame there's no one to succeed her. She cherished a daughter like the apple of her eye, but in the end she ended up marrying a worthless, poor boy from the countryside.
Although Lu Dongping came to the capital, ever since he quit his job and went into business, countless people have said that he is a useless person who can't be helped.
Although I am not successful in my career now, supporting my family is no longer a problem.
The most important thing is that Wen Wan gave birth to two children, one of whom was named Wen and was a boy.
This silenced all those who had been talking behind her back, saying that she had given up her job to have a baby.
Although Wen Shihua is almost sixty, he has always been in good health. It is not impossible for him to raise a grandson. Just look at the older one. In the compound, who can compare with him at the same age?
People of similar age and position, as well as some younger people, toasted him one after another, and he got drunk for the first time in his life.
Even so, Lu Dongping and Lu Donglin were there to help block the drinking.
Lu Donglin also drank a lot.
He wasn't really a big fan of alcohol. He always felt it burned his throat. But today he was really happy, happy for his brother and his sister-in-law.
By the time most of the guests had left, he was a little drunk and leaned there lazily, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Wan had just finished her confinement and couldn't stay outside for too long. She came over and showed up, and the driver sent her and her child back.
In the end, only Wen Shihua and several uncles from the Xu family were left at the table.
Chen Dongshuang went to get two pots of boiling water and made strong tea for everyone and set it aside.
Wen Shihua was still talking to Uncle Xu, and Lu Dongping was also talking to Xu Guoliang.
Lu Donglin was sitting right beside him, looking lazy and half-closed his eyes.
Chen Dongshuang sat down next to him and handed him the cup in her hand: "Drink some water."
"Thank you!" Lu Donglin took it and took a sip, then frowned and looked at her: "Shuangshuang, did you put all the tea leaves in it? It's so bitter!"
Chen Dongshuang smiled and said, "Strong tea can sober you up, drink more."
Lu Donglin pinched his nose and wrinkled his face, then drank the entire cup of tea as if it were Chinese medicine. Finally, he took several deep breaths but the bitter taste in his mouth could not be dispelled.
"Shuangshuang, let me tell you, you can't drink too much tea. If anything happens to my brother, you'll be responsible, okay?"
After saying that, he continued to take a deep breath and leaned on the armrest of the chair. He did not notice the expression on Chen Dongshuang's face, nor did he hear her murmur: "Okay!"
The author has something to say, but third-party friends seem to be blind, so I’ll say it here. The main text ends here, and the following is the extra chapter about Donglin and Dongcai.
