"You have to stay in confinement for a full 42 days. You should put on your hat too. It's not very hot these days, so make sure you keep warm."
After Jiang Shufen finished speaking, she walked out of the bedroom.
Postpartum confinement! Forty-two more days!
Lin Yuxi looked up at the sky and sighed deeply!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shufen came in again, carrying the child.
"You keep an eye on it for now. Gu Chen needs to return the car later. He's moving things around right now. I'll help him out and give him a hand so he can return the other person's car first. He's been borrowing it for quite a while now, so I want to return it as soon as possible."
She gently placed the child beside Lin Yuxi and tucked him in with the blanket.
Lin Yuxi looked at the child beside her and couldn't believe that she had given birth to such a big person.
At this moment, the child had just finished eating and fell asleep. With his eyes closed, his long eyelashes were curled and upturned. Apart from his slightly dark skin and somewhat ugly appearance, it was impossible to tell who he resembled at this moment.
Lin Yuxi extended a finger and gently rubbed the child's soft cheek with her fingertip. The child was a deep sleeper; he ate and then slept, and slept and then ate again, without any reaction. He even made a slight sound in his sleep.
Lin Yuxi giving birth was a big event, and Jiang Shufen's first instinct was to call the factory where Lin Weidong worked. Gu Chen also quickly called home.
When Wang Caixia heard that Lin Yuxi had given birth, she immediately bought a ticket and took a train to Shanghai.
“I brought all the eggs from home. I need to eat eggs after giving birth. No eggs in the big city are as good as the ones from home. There are only thirty-five here. I’ll go to Sister Qixi’s house to borrow five more.”
Wang Caixia put the eggs and bran together to prevent the eggs from breaking.
“Catch the chickens too, and write a letter to the child while you’re at it. Ask him when he’s coming back. He didn’t even come back for his brother’s wedding, and he should at least come back to see his sister-in-law when she gives birth.” Gu Zhixiang flicked his cigarette ash. “He’s been away from home for so many years, and he doesn’t even come back for the New Year. He just sends some New Year’s goods. If it weren’t for those flamboyant letters he wrote, I would have thought it was a different person.”
Wang Caixia glared at him, raised her hand and slapped his wrist. "Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? The child sends you cigarettes to burn, money and receipts. What kind of father are you?"
“Look at him, he’s been gone for years. He said he was following a master, but who knows if that master is reliable? He wouldn’t go to the army with his brother. He won’t tell us where his master is from or how old he is. He can’t at least give us some information so we can feel at ease.” Gu Zhixiang became more and more angry as he spoke.
"If the child doesn't want to talk, then so be it; forcing him won't help."
Wang Caixia packed a bundle, carrying a basket of eggs and two chickens, tied them up, went to the commune to get a letter of introduction, and bought a ticket directly to Beijing.
She arrived at the family compound carrying large and small bags, and Jiang Shufen was overjoyed.
"Caixia, I've been looking forward to your arrival. Let's sleep together tonight." Jiang Shufen quickly carried all her things into the bedroom. The wardrobe was large, and Wang Caixia hadn't brought many clothes. There was also an empty door, so there was plenty of room to hang clothes.
Wang Caixia said, "I miss you too, but I'll only be staying for three to five days this time. I can't stay too long. I still have to go back to work. Gu Chen's parents passed away early, so I'll have to trouble you with taking care of the child."
“I treat Gu Chen like my own son. They are both too busy to take care of him, so I will help them take care of him.”
Two more chickens have appeared in the yard.
In addition to the one He Cuiping brought, there are now two more brought by Wang Caixia.
"We'll have one rooster and one hen. We'll keep the hen to lay eggs, and the rooster will crow every day. We'll kill it tomorrow and make soup for Xixi."
