"Ah, this is it..."
"If you get in, you've succeeded."
Yu Jiu was quite embarrassed; she had gone a bit too far. But Zhang Yan didn't understand; she hadn't studied this subject at all. Yu Caihong was also a virgin, and she didn't really understand anything beyond kissing. Therefore, the two of them looked at Yu Jiu with great curiosity.
Tell me more.
"That's right, Zhang Yan is getting married tonight, but she doesn't know anything about it. What are we going to do?"
"Isn't it enough that the dog understands? How am I supposed to explain it to you guys?"
Yu Jiu covered her face shyly. An An was already asleep. Yu Jiu put her on the bed and let her sleep alone. The three of them huddled together and whispered to each other.
"So, you understand now?"
Yu Jiu concluded with a question that seemed to be a summary statement. The two were still confused by the explanation, so Yu Jiu simply used his hands, making a zero with his left hand and a one with his right. Then the zero and one approached each other, merged, and moved.
This made Yu Caihong and Zhang Yan blush.
"I understand."
"I understand now."
With such a vivid and engaging explanation, Zhang Yan and Yu Caihong would be fools if they still didn't understand. The two touched their burning faces, and Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little shy and scared.
"Wouldn't that hurt terribly?"
"It will hurt a lot at first, but it won't hurt after that. You'll get used to it. You can take it slowly. Cough, tell the dog not to be impulsive."
Yu Jiu gave some instructions, and then the food was ready. Yu Jiu and Yu Caihong were about to go to the banquet.
"Just leave An'an here. She's still asleep. I'll watch her for a while. You can come over after you finish eating."
An'an was already asleep, and Zhang Yan didn't want An'an to be so restless, so she simply let Yu Jiu go eat by herself.
"Okay, that saves her from catching a cold. I'll finish eating and come back as soon as possible."
Yu Jiu and Yu Caihong left together. Zhang Yan, being the bride, ate her meal in her room. Gouzi's mother had already brought her food in. She was given the best of the day's dishes; judging by the quality of the food, Gouzi's family clearly valued her. The banquet was quite lavish, and she was very satisfied.
Indeed, one still has to work hard to achieve it.
On the other side, Yu Caihong and Yu Jiu found Xu Zijiang's table. Xu Zijiang had reserved a seat for Yu Jiu, but the table was already full. Yu Caihong didn't mind. She greeted Yu Jiu and then went to the table of the educated youth. She felt more uncomfortable eating with other people and preferred to stay with the educated youth.
Where is An'an?
Not seeing his beloved daughter, Xu Zijiang couldn't help but ask Yu Jiu.
"An'an is already asleep in Zhang Yan's room, so I'm too lazy to bother her."
"Then you can go and watch over her after you finish eating. I have other things to do."
"No problem, don't worry. Can't I take good care of my daughter?"
Yu Jiu patted Xu Zijiang on the shoulder, signaling him to relax. It wasn't that Xu Zijiang was worried about Yu Jiu taking care of the child alone; it was just that the weather had been cold lately, and the temperature had dropped drastically. Xu Zijiang was always worried that An'an would get sick, since children have weak immune systems, so he became quite anxious whenever An'an was out of their sight.
However, Xu Zijiang was indeed quite busy today. He hurriedly ate a few bites of rice and then went back to work, taking over from others to help Gouzi's family write down the gift money. He had to record who gave what. Nowadays, people in the countryside don't care much about what they give at banquets, as long as the value is about the same.
Some people give a penny or two, some give a few eggs, and some stingy people give two cabbages. Anyway, all of these are recorded. When the other person's child gets married in the future, they will have to give back to that person at a similar value. This is how social interactions are conducted.
After settling the gift money, there were other things that Xu Zijiang needed to help with, so Xu Zijiang was really the busiest person besides Gouzi's family today. If Yu Jiu hadn't needed to take care of An'an, she would have definitely come to help today.
Yu Jiu was worried about An'an, so she quickly finished eating and went back to find her. After having a child, Yu Jiu truly understood what it meant to be constantly worried about someone. Her anxiety for An'an was no less than Xu Zijiang's. Even though An'an had been away from her for only a short time, she was extremely worried, afraid that she would wake up, be hungry, cry, wet herself, or need to use the toilet.
Sure enough, once you become a parent, you can't help but worry. When she returned to Zhang Yan's place, An'an was still fast asleep in bed.
"Why did you come back so quickly? I haven't even finished my meal yet, and you've already finished eating."
Zhang Yan laughed at her.
"You're worried about the baby, you'll understand when you get pregnant."
Yu Jiu wasn't afraid of being laughed at. She smiled and went over to look at her sleeping daughter. Her daughter was fair-skinned and tender, as beautiful as a little princess. Who wouldn't like her?
After taking An'an home in the afternoon, nothing happened. But in the middle of the night, An'an suddenly started crying. Xu Zi initially thought she was hungry, but when she touched her, she found that her daughter was burning hot.
Oh no, I really have a fever.
"Wife, wake up! An'an has a fever."
Xu Zijiang turned on the light, and while holding and comforting An'an, she woke Yu Jiu up. The glaring light, coupled with Xu Zijiang's anxious shouts, quickly woke Yu Jiu up.
"What's wrong? Is An'an feeling unwell? Oh dear, she's so hot!"
Yu Jiu picked An An up and immediately realized something was wrong.
“An’an has a fever. I’ll go get some water and use a towel to cool her down. You can feed An’an some milk first and see if she’s hungry or wants to drink.”
An'an's diaper wasn't wet, but she suddenly started crying. I don't know if she was hungry or if she was sick with a fever.
"Boil some more hot water and don't use cold water to apply to An'an."
While breastfeeding An'an, Yu Jiu raised her voice to remind her.
"I know, I'll boil water now."
Xu Zi hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water. Even if it was to cool down the child, she shouldn't have used cold water in the middle of winter. At least she should have used warm water to wipe her face, forehead, and body.
They couldn't give such a young child medicine, and it was the middle of the night, pitch black outside, and the temperature was extremely low. If they took her to the hospital, she would be exposed to the wind on the way. So Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu decided to try to bring the fever down at home. If it didn't go down, they would go to the hospital during the day.
"Waaaaaah!"
"Waaaaah."
An'an was in great pain. Her face was flushed red from the fever. Yu Jiu tried to feed her milk, but she only drank two sips before refusing to drink anymore. She closed her eyes and cried loudly, which broke Yu Jiu's heart.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Sweetie, Daddy's going to boil some water for you. He'll be here soon. Don't cry, don't cry, baby."
Yu Jiu picked up An An and walked away, comforting her by kissing her flushed cheeks and patting her back to make her feel better.
Yu Jiu was filled with regret. She wished she hadn't taken the child out during the day. She thought that wrapping the child up tightly would be enough, but who knew the child would get sick.
"The hot water is here. Come on, wife, put the child on the bed, I'll wash her face with water."
