The Lu family held a lively third-day-birth celebration, and everyone in the military compound knew that Su Yan had given birth to a big fat boy for the Lu family.
Every day at noon, someone would come to their house to see the child. Su Yan was completely overwhelmed. It was so cold and there was no heated bed at home. Why would anyone come to visit them?
Fortunately, Lu Yiming is quite obedient. Apart from crying a few times when changing his diaper, he usually doesn't cry or make a fuss after eating, which relieves Su Yan of a lot of worries.
Hua Min agreed to take care of Su Yan during her confinement, and when her parents arrived, she would move directly to her son's house.
Su Yan didn't have to take care of the child at night, so she left the child to her mother-in-law and aunt. Lu Yiming drank breast milk during the day, and drank milk powder when he was hungry after 9 or 10 o'clock.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Yiming was only twenty days old. In order to make money, Su Yan followed Lu Ting to Jinshi before completing her confinement period.
They sell cotton, apples, pears, candied oranges, and various dried and preserved fruits.
This time they made a total of more than 40,000 yuan from selling goods. Before leaving, they visited their friends at the port black market.
Lu Ting bought Su Yan a Russian fur coat, two pairs of snow boots, milk powder, purple candy, sausage...all kinds of Russian specialties worth hundreds of dollars.
Because they didn't have enough time, they didn't buy seafood this time and drove back in a hurry.
Hua Min asked Lu Ting, "Ting'er, Yanyan is still in confinement after giving birth. How could you take her out?"
"Mom, my friend is getting married and he hasn't met my wife yet. I want to take her to meet him."
Even if you kill Lu Ting, he will never tell anyone about the space, and he certainly won’t tell anyone about secretly selling goods.
"Why do your friends take marriage so seriously?"
Seeing her husband being pestered by her mother-in-law, Su Yan quickly changed the subject, "Mom, do you think this fur hat looks good?"
"Oh, this is what Yanyan bought for Yiming. It looks pretty good, but Yiming is still too young to wear it. He has to be at least four or five years old to wear this hat, right?"
"We bought this leather hat because it looks nice. Yiming is still young, so a woolen hat is enough for him."
"Yan Yan, tomorrow is the 28th. When will you let your aunt come home? When your aunt comes back, I will let your father move in with us for a few days."
Su Yan then remembered that Chinese New Year was just a few days away. Her aunt had been here for more than 20 days and had not returned home once. Qin Zhen had come twice, once to treat her to a meal and once to have a third-day celebration.
"Since Lu Ting and I are back, let Aunt go home today. But we can't leave until 5 pm. Lu Ting and I are going to the farm to buy pork for the New Year."
"Okay, I'll talk to your aunt later."
Su Yan returned to her room and took out four sausages, two pounds of fruit candies, three pounds of dried fruits, two pounds of wool, a bag of oranges and a bag of apples from the space, and packed them all in a woven bag.
In the afternoon, she and Lu Ting went to the farm to cut pork and ribs, and cut two pounds of pork belly for Hua Jing.
Although her aunt had only been in their house for more than twenty days, Su Yan decided to give her a month's salary. After all, her aunt also gave her son twenty yuan when he was having his third birthday.
Hua Jing refused to take it at first, but Hua Min helped to persuade her to accept it. If she didn't take anything, wouldn't her work this month have been in vain?
Mother-in-law worked hard to help take care of the children at night, so Su Yan naturally couldn't treat her badly. She took out two kilograms of rose-red wool from the space and gave it to her.
Hua Min knew her son and daughter-in-law had returned from Jinshi and had bought a lot of things. She was very open-minded and did not refuse the gifts from her son and daughter-in-law, who were filial to her. She accepted them if she liked them.
Su Yan also felt that her mother-in-law had a very good personality. She was not shy and would ask questions directly if she had any doubts. She would not say bad things behind her back.
Since Hua Min and Lu Fengnian were both at their eldest son's house taking care of their grandson during the Spring Festival, it was natural for Lu Jin and Lu Chen to also spend the Spring Festival at their brother's house. They would eat at their brother's house during the day and go home to sleep at night.
Because the weather was cold and it was inconvenient to bring the children, they did not go to pay New Year's greetings that year, nor did they return to the courtyard to celebrate the New Year.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yiming was one month old. Su Yan planned to have hotpot tonight to celebrate, but Lu Ting came back in a hurry to say that his aunt had passed away.
In order to avoid gossip, the whole family had to go, because their children Xiao Suyan and the other child stayed at home.
Su Yan thought she would have to eat alone tonight. At six o'clock in the afternoon, her aunt Hua Jing came back with two large bags and gave Lu Yiming a small red envelope of fifty cents as soon as she arrived.
"Xiaoyan, this bag of dried cabbage and that bag of dried sweet potato were made by my mother-in-law. She asked me to bring them over for you to try."
"Thank you, auntie."
"I ground this bag of rice noodles specially for Yiming. By the way, where are Lu Ting and my sister?"
"My aunt left at noon. They went to the city to attend the funeral."
"Will my brother-in-law get into a fight with them when he gets home? None of them came to your child's third birthday last time."
Su Yan was also a little worried, fearing that her second and third uncles would harbor resentment and blame her father-in-law for the old lady's death.
Fortunately, Lu Ting and his brothers all went there. If they really wanted to fight, they would definitely not be a match for Lu Ting and his father-in-law.
At 8:30 in the evening, Lu Ting, Lu Feng, Nian Huamin and the others returned. Su Yan asked Lu Ting, "Where are your three younger brothers?"
“They live in a courtyard house.”
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"I just took a couple of bites. Now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry. Dad, Mom, do you want to eat something?"
"Okay, you cook noodles for me and your mom. Hey, my little Yiming is one month old today, and grandpa didn't even celebrate for you. Come, let grandpa hold you."
Hua Min glanced at Lu Fengnian and said, "The child is asleep. You want to wake him up? Will you take care of him tonight?"
"Xiao Jing is here. I'm going back to sleep tonight. When my son Yiming can walk, he can go to Grandpa's house and sleep with him, okay?"
Lu Yiming protested to Su Yan, "Boss Su, when I can walk, please let me sleep next door alone!"
