Chapter 124: Finally out of confinement
"Hey, my family has been working hard, running around, picking up and dropping off an old lady like me every morning and evening..."
The old lady didn't think much about it at this moment. When Feng Yujun said "family", he meant that he wanted to become a real family with them.
She simply thought that the other person was a good person who valued friendship and loyalty.
Treat your brother’s family as your own family.
…
The jeep returned to town.
Jiang Mingyue returned to the room, and the child was sent back to their bedroom by her eldest sister and grandmother.
Jiang Meiyue put the child down, turned around and left the room, washed her hands and went into the kitchen to get busy.
They had had breakfast early in the morning, and now it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, so it was time to get something else to eat.
Jiang Meiyue was quick and agile and quickly prepared a simple but filling lunch.
"I'll take Mingyue's food in first."
Jiang Meiyue also cooked five or six soft-boiled eggs for her sister, plus a bowl of white rice.
It might be too late to kill a chicken and cook it at noon, so I cooked a few more eggs for Jiang Mingyue to use up first, and then stewed the chicken soup in the evening.
It’s also because their family’s life is better now. When I was in confinement after childbirth, I ate five or six eggs in one meal.
When Jiang Meiyue gave birth to Hu Yaya at the Hu family, she couldn't even eat an egg a day.
Not only did I not get to eat eggs, I also had to take care of myself and my children, and I was also responsible for the meals for the whole family...
Jiang Meiyue thought back to the past and the more she thought about it, the less it was worth it.
She should have left the Hu family's hell a long time ago.
Jiang Meiyue felt regretful for wasting so much time at Old Hu's house because she had no courage.
"Sister, please sit down and eat. I'll bring the food over."
In order not to disturb the children, they ate lunch at the table next to the kitchen.
Jiang Mingyue needed to rest now and it was inconvenient for her to go to the kitchen, so Gu Dongqing sent the meal to the main hall of the house and let her eat there.
The food in Jiang Meiyue's hand was taken away by Gu Dongqing. She had nothing to do, so she turned around and sat back at the table to prepare to eat.
"Big girl, you've worked hard, eat more."
The old lady who was sitting next to her and talking to Feng Yujun saw Jiang Meiyue sitting down, and quickly put a piece of scrambled egg in her bowl with her chopsticks.
Although there are four granddaughters in the family, both the old lady and the grandfather love them all equally and do not favor any one over the other.
Every granddaughter is the apple of their eyes and they feel very distressed when they see how hard they work.
Jiang Meiyue took it with a smile, "Grandma, it's okay, it's not hard."
She used to do these jobs when she worked at Old Hu's house.
But in the past, I just had to endure the hardship, not knowing when it would end. Now it is different, now every day is full of hope.
When Jiang Meiyue was working, she felt like she had endless energy.
Time passed quickly day by day. Jiang Mingyue thought that the confinement period, which was very difficult, was over in the blink of an eye.
In early April, Tonglin Town is already full of spring flowers and vitality.
Jiang Mingyue finally reached the last day of her confinement period.
When she got up in the morning, she asked Gu Dongqing to boil a large pot of water for her and pour it into the large wooden barrel in the toilet next to their bedroom.
Then she added cold water and washed herself thoroughly from head to toe.
For forty days, neither her grandmother nor her elder sister allowed her to wash her hair or take a bath.
Even if it was extremely uncomfortable, I could only wet a towel, squeeze it out, and wipe my body.
This is simply a torture for Jiang Mingyue, who takes a bath every day.
But my grandmother and elder sister kept advising me, saying that if I came into contact with water during the confinement period, I would suffer from numbness in my hands and feet and headaches when I got older.
She asked Gu Dongqing for help.
Who knew that this time, Gu Dongqing firmly stood on the side of his grandmother and refused to let her wash her hair.
Jiang Mingyue...
There is no other choice but to endure it.
This endurance lasted for more than a month. During those forty days, Jiang Mingyue felt that her head weighed ten kilograms.
So today when she could wash her hair, she carefully shampooed her long hair five or six times.
After rubbing it vigorously, I felt my head return to her neck.
After washing my hair and taking a bath, I got out of the big wooden barrel, pulled out the sieve that was blocking the bottom of the barrel, and the water in the barrel was drained out.
It followed the terrain and flowed into the ditch outside.
She took down a towel, wrapped her hair, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Wife..."
Gu Dongqing just happened to come in from outside. When he saw the girl who had just come out of the shower, with steam on her body, fair skin with a hint of pink, and clear and clean eyes, he had some difficulty moving his throat.
Some thoughts that have been in my mind since before I got married are now growing like crazy.
He could hardly contain himself any longer.
"Daughter-in-law"
Gu Dongqing walked forward, reached out and took off the towel on her head, his voice a little hoarse.
"I'll blow dry your hair."
He has endured it all this year, so he can endure it for another month or two.
Compared with his desires, his wife's health is the most important.
"Well, where's the baby?"
Jiang Mingyue sat on a stool, enjoying Gu Dongqing's service, without forgetting her two children.
"Grandpa and grandma took them outside to bask in the sun."
The sun in early April is not too strong, so it is okay to sunbathe in the morning.
Moreover, children should not be kept at home all the time. It is better for their health to let them go outside.
Isn't there a saying that children grow up when exposed to the sun? Children who stay at home all the time are definitely not as healthy as those who occasionally go out to bask in the sun.
Jiang Mingyue understood.
Listening to the sound of the hair dryer and feeling the gentle force of the big hands running through her hair, Jiang Mingyue actually felt a little drowsy.
It was obvious that she never woke up except for feeding at night.
Gu Dongqing was the one who changed the diaper and other things. She was more likely to get sleepy than a man who had to get up three or four times a night.
She was so drowsy that she didn't know when Gu Dongqing blow-dried her hair. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed.
"Huh? I fell asleep?"
Jiang Mingyue sat up in annoyance and rubbed her brows with her hands, "I can fall asleep while blow-drying my hair..."
The man, who had just covered her with the quilt and was about to leave, turned back and sat down beside the bed when he saw this.
"It's okay, wife, you can sleep. I'll wake you up and eat when lunch is ready."
"don't want."
Jiang Mingyue refused without thinking.
"I just woke up early in the morning, took a shower, washed my hair and went to sleep again. If this gets out, will my reputation still be ruined?"
She already had the risk of being labeled a "lazy woman" and she didn't want to confirm this reputation.
After staying in the room for a while, she got out of bed and left the room.
"I'm going to go see the kids."
She walked so fast that the man who originally wanted to kiss and hug her ended up getting nothing.
He looked at his good brother helplessly and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that his wife really wasn't interested in him!
What should I do?
