Her baby was something she traded her entire health for the rest of her life, even though he was mischievous, a bit carefree, and only knew how to eat and play foolishly.
But he is kind, a sweet little boy to his mother, and often, it is that little guy who harmonizes the family atmosphere.
When her mother was silent, she nestled her soft body against her mother's chest and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Chen Hong often holds her youngest son, stroking his fluffy little head, and asks herself countless times: Is having a son my salvation or my constraint?
Looking at her son's tender little face, Chen Hong repeatedly gave up the idea of leaving.
Her eldest son has grown up and is capable of living independently in this world. If she were to leave this world, she could leave her children over a million yuan in insurance compensation. This was purchased by Chen Hong while she was still able to work, hoping that under any circumstances, her children would never be left in a situation where they had nowhere to turn for help.
But her youngest son was still too young. Although he was in fifth grade, his father's doting love meant he was never out of the adults' sight. Chen Hong could only endure the torment of her frail health, fearing that if she left too early, her precious child would be ruined.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Hong's body and mind were about to give up, fate made a choice for her and took her back to 2006.
These past few nights, when she looked at her sleeping eldest son in the quiet of the night, Chen Hong's heart ached. She missed her youngest son so much!
My life has changed. Remarriage brings me depression and despair. Should I still have my younger son born?
After several days of rational consideration, Chen Hong decided to put the issue aside for now. After all, her youngest son was born on December 26, 2012, and if she could earn more money in the next few years...
She planned to go back to Jinan to have a one-night stand with her ex-husband and steal her youngest son back, so that both her sons would be by her side and she would have no regrets!
In just a few minutes, Chen Hong found a solution to the biggest problem she had faced since her rebirth. She felt relieved and wiped away her tears. Chen Hong regained her spirits and led her son into the old house.
"Dad, I'm back." Chen Hong saw her father cooking. "You're back. Why don't you have dinner here?" Her father invited her to stay for dinner.
"I'm not eating here anymore. I haven't been home all day, and I haven't even fed the chickens and ducks! I'm taking Yu Yang back with me."
“Okay, go back. Let Yu Yang come over by himself tomorrow. You go back to work and don’t worry about the child. Let him eat lunch here too. I’m free anyway, and it’ll be nice for him to come so we can talk.”
"Okay, I'll trouble you to look after the kids while I'm working. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll bring it back with me when I go shopping."
"Alright, the three of us have lived together for so many years, I won't stand on ceremony."
"Xiaobao, say goodbye to Grandpa, we're going home." Chen Hong led her son out of the old house and carried him to the driver's seat.
"Son, hold on tight to the handrail, Mom will take you home."
"Mom, is this your new tricycle? It's so big, the seats are so comfortable, and it looks so nice!" Yu Yang sat on the tricycle, curiously touching and looking at everything, very excited.
"Yes, this is a new one Mom bought today. Isn't it great? Look, this cart can carry people and lots of things. Mom won't need a handcart anymore when harvesting crops or fishing. This cart is so much more energy-efficient and can carry so much more. Isn't it much more useful than the old motorcycle?"
"This car is great, it even has a canopy, so Mom won't have to worry about wind and rain when she's working."
"Little Bao is such a good boy, he even remembered that his mother got caught in the rain while working!" Yu Yang blushed with joy at the praise, and Chen Hong started the tricycle and drove home.
After opening the gate and driving the car into the yard, Zhen Hong took out a large tarpaulin from the storage room and covered the tricycle with it. "Let's make do with this for now. We'll put up a small awning next to the storage room to store the tricycle when we have time."
After entering the main room with her son, the two sat down to drink some water and rest for a while. Chen Hong asked her son if he was hungry, but Yu Yang turned on the TV and said he wanted to watch some cartoons and wasn't hungry.
"Then watch some TV. If you get hungry, grab some biscuits, but don't eat too much. I'm going to the backyard to tend the vegetable garden, and I'll cook dinner later."
Chen Hong first gathered the clothes in the yard, then took a hoe and a basket from the storage room and went to work in the backyard.
First, feed the chickens and ducks, add water to the water trough, and then collect the eggs. There are 17 chickens in total, 14 hens and 3 roosters. There are 8 ducks, 2 males and 6 females.
I collected 12 eggs from the egg basket today and 5 duck eggs from the duck egg basket. It seems that 2 hens and 1 duck were lazy and didn't complete their tasks. I'll have to find out which one wasn't working properly when I have time. If I'm going to kill them in the future, I'll start with these lazybones.
I need to find some time to buy a few geese; domesticated geese are excellent at guarding the house. If I have the chance, I should also buy a puppy; it can both guard the house and play with my son. Chen Hong remembers that in her past life, she and her son both loved dogs.
However, she later developed asthma and could not be in contact with small animals. Every time her son saw someone walking by with a small dog, he would stare at it for a long time, and sometimes he would even go up and carefully touch it.
Because Chen Hong is ill, he resisted the urge to give her a puppy, even though she longed for it. I must fulfill her wish in this lifetime and buy her a puppy.
I picked two cucumbers, then two tomatoes, snapped a handful of patchouli leaves, and pulled up two scallions and a sprig of cilantro. Tonight I'll make my son scrambled eggs with tomatoes and some patchouli leaf pancakes.
I picked up a hoe to weed and loosen the soil in the vegetable garden. It's hot, and the ground in the garden that I watered yesterday is already dry today. The green beans, kidney beans, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers are all growing very well. The farmyard manure has made the leaves a deep, dark green, and the plants are growing thick and strong.
