Chapter 161 Little Demon King
However, Lu Mingyue was stumped by the rules of postpartum confinement.
According to the older generation, one shouldn't take a bath during postpartum confinement, which made her, who loves cleanliness, feel very uncomfortable.
She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles for the past two weeks, and couldn't help but complain to Wen Yuexian, "Sister-in-law, I really can't take it anymore. My body feels sticky and uncomfortable."
Wen Yuexian was changing Lele's diaper when she heard this and smiled to comfort her: "I understand how you feel. When I gave birth to An'an, my postpartum period was in the summer, which was even harder to endure than in the winter. I couldn't sleep because of the heat, and the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of milk made me feel like I was going to stink. That was real torture."
She put down the diaper and handed Lu Mingyue a glass of water. "You're doing alright. You don't sweat much in winter, so you can just bear it. If you really feel uncomfortable, just wipe your body with a warm towel and change into clean clothes. I really don't dare to take a bath. If you catch a cold and develop a chronic illness, you'll suffer for the rest of your life."
Huo Zheng happened to walk in and overheard their conversation. He quickly said, "Wife, if you're really uncomfortable, I'll boil some hot water for you so you can wash up and change your clothes. You can't be reckless during your postpartum period. You can take a good bath after you're done."
Lu Mingyue nodded. Although she still felt a little wronged, she knew that everyone was doing it for her own good.
Wen Yuexian smiled and said, "After these last two weeks, you can take a bath however you want, and you can even enjoy a relaxing bath."
Finally, the day of her postpartum confinement arrived. Huo Zheng knew she couldn't wait any longer, so he had already boiled a large pot of water.
When Lu Mingyue got up, the water temperature was just right.
She couldn't wait to lock herself in the bathroom and let out a long sigh of relief. She had been cooped up for a month and was finally able to take a good shower.
Huo Zheng peeked in from outside the door, his voice tinged with amusement: "Need any help? I'll give you a scrub."
"don't want."
These days, it's perfectly normal for couples to rub each other's backs.
Before having children, Lu Mingyue really enjoyed the feeling of scrubbing herself in the bath. But now, she hadn't showered for a month and had accumulated a lot of dust. Even though they were husband and wife, she was too embarrassed to let him see her, afraid that she would look too dirty.
Hot water flowed down her hair, washing away her fatigue. Lu Mingyue closed her eyes and felt completely refreshed. Even her breathing became much easier. She felt like she would lose at least three pounds after this bath.
She washed for a long time, until her skin turned red, before drying herself off, changing into clean clothes, and going outside. She looked refreshed, and even her eyes seemed brighter.
Looking at his wife, who looked completely refreshed, Huo Zheng chuckled and joked, "Looks like the allure of a bath is quite strong."
Lu Mingyue rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't help but smile.
In the past month, Lele has changed from the wrinkled little dumpling she once was. Now she is fair-skinned and tender, with chubby cheeks and big, bright eyes, inheriting all the best features of her parents.
She always has a big smile on her face, everyone gives her face, and she has a very high emotional value.
This child is also exceptionally well-behaved, not very noisy, and will only whine softly when hungry or needing to pee.
As long as they are fed and their diapers are changed in time, they will immediately calm down, either sleeping peacefully or looking around curiously with their round eyes.
Since the children were on holiday, Leilei and Yaoyao would gather around Lele's bed whenever they had free time. Even An'an would stick to her little sister every day, singing nursery rhymes and making funny faces, just to see her laugh.
Niu Niu and Ming Ming also loved to come and play with them, and the house was filled with the children's laughter.
Huo Zheng held Lele in his arms, looking at her with a bright smile, "Our daughter is such a good baby, I just wonder if she'll grow up to be a naughty little girl?"
Lu Mingyue smiled and patted him lightly, "It's good that things are going so smoothly for now. We can talk about the future later."
Little did they know, Huo Zheng's words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Five years later.
Lu Mingyue, hands on her hips, glared angrily at the little guy in front of her, "Lele, why are you bullying Xiaohu?"
Lu Mingyue had just gotten off work when someone came to her door. Xiao Hu's mother said that her daughter was very arrogant and had beaten Xiao Hu black and blue, even knocking out one of his teeth.
Lu Mingyue's forehead twitched, and she had a terrible headache. How did her sweet and soft little girl turn into a little devil?
She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her parenting style.
Although the child was pampered as he grew up, the couple always played the roles of good cop and bad cop.
Huo Zheng always smiles like a flower whenever he sees Lele, so the villainous role can only be played by Lu Mingyue.
I thought this child was mischievous, but wouldn't actually hit anyone. Little did I know there would always be unexpected surprises waiting in the distance.
However, Lu Mingyue also knew that although her daughter had a quick temper, she was still sensible when it came to important matters.
If Xiaohu hadn't started the trouble, she wouldn't have attacked him for no reason.
As far as she knew, Xiao Hu was usually the one who was naughty and mischievous. Catching bugs to scare people and pulling girls' braids were commonplace for him.
She guessed that her daughter had probably been beaten up because of something like this again.
Lele was only up to Lu Mingyue's knees. After being called out to confront him, she stuck out her little neck, pouted, and shouted righteously, "I didn't bully him. He bullied Niu Niu first and even stole Niu Niu's candy."
Niu Niu is the daughter of Qin Lie and Zhu Xiaofang. The two families have always gotten along well, and the children play together. Lele and Niu Niu are about the same age and often play together.
After Lele finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaohu hiding behind her mother, her tone tinged with pride, "Besides, he's too weak. He can't even beat me, yet he dares to steal things."
She's only five years old, while Xiaohu is already eight. He still only knows how to hide behind his mother and cry. It's really embarrassing.
She deliberately made a funny face, and Xiao Hu cried even harder when he saw this.
Although Lu Mingyue wanted to laugh, she had to set an example in front of the other person's parents. She held the feather duster in the air but couldn't bear to put it down. "Even if he snatches the candy, you can't hit him. We should reason with him and not solve problems with our fists."
Niu Niu timidly peeked out, "Auntie, Lele was protecting me, please don't hit her, okay?"
Lu Mingyue naturally wanted to say yes.
Just then, Huo Zheng came home from get off work and saw what was happening. He quickly pretended to stop Lu Mingyue and said to Lele with a smile, "Daughter, it's right to protect your sister, but it's wrong to hit her. Let's apologize to Xiaohu and reason with him instead of using our fists, okay?"
Lele frowned and hesitated for a moment. She glanced at her mother, then walked up to Xiaohu and whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you. I won't hit you anymore, but you can't take Niu Niu's things."
If he dares to steal again, keep beating him until he doesn't dare to anymore.
Of course, she didn't say the last sentence out loud. If her parents had heard it, she would have been in for a good beating.
Little Tiger nodded, his voice trembling.
Seeing her child's spineless behavior, Xiaohu's mother was also a little angry. She led her child away in a huff, saying all the while, "He ate so much food for nothing, and got beaten up by a little girl. He still has the nerve to cry."
Xiao Hu's tears, which had just stopped, welled up again. "Waaah, I didn't want to either, but she's so amazing."
