Fan Hongxia and Liu Ercui both came to see Qin Hanshu, and each brought a basket of eggs.
Fan Hongxia talked for a while and then went back to supervise her children doing their homework.
As soon as she left, Liu Ercui felt much more relaxed.
"Your mother-in-law came all the way from her hometown in the northwest to take care of you during your confinement?" Liu Ercui sighed several times, "Your mother-in-law is really nice."
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that your mother-in-law took care of you during your first two pregnancies?"
Liu Ercui nodded. "Yes, my mother-in-law is not a bad person, but her ideas are too feudal. She favors boys over girls. When she saw that my third child was a girl, she refused to take care of me."
As she spoke, Liu Ercui pouted and teased the girl in her arms, "Our Pei'er is so well-behaved and sensible, much cuter than that brat."
Qin Hanshu stretched out his hand, "Sister-in-law Ercui, let me hug Pei'er."
Liu Ercui put the child in Qin Hanshu's arms and chattered about the interesting things about her daughter.
"What's Pei'er's full name?" Qin Hanshu asked.
Liu Ercui replied, "Just call her Zhang Pei'er. Her sister is called Lin Yue'er, so my husband named her Zhang Pei'er, saying that at least she looks like a sister."
Qin Hanshu: "Yue'er's last name is Lin? Didn't you change her last name after you adopted her?"
Liu Ercui nodded, "Zhang Lei said that Yue'er couldn't forget her biological parents, so she didn't change her surname."
Qin Hanshu had a strange feeling about the Zhang family adopting Yue'er, but she couldn't put her finger on it. But it was someone else's family affair after all, so she couldn't say anything without evidence.
Qin Hanshu lowered his head and looked at Pei'er in his arms. She was three months older than Zhou Chi. Her wrinkled skin had grown out, and she was white and plump, very adorable.
And Pearl loves to laugh, and will giggle at the slightest teasing.
"This little girl is really interesting."
"She is easy to take care of, and takes a lot of worry!" Liu Ercui has endless things to say about her daughter. "She can eat and sleep well, and basically she won't cry as long as she's not hungry or has diarrhea."
"The only shortcoming is that this girl is quite fierce. That day, Sister Hongxia wanted to hug her, but she was not happy. Her eyes were wide open and she was humming and groaning, as if she was cursing someone."
Liu Ercui started laughing as she spoke. "They say she has a bad temper, which is similar to me. I wonder if she will be accepted by her husband in the future."
Qin Hanshu joked: "If no one wants me, I will marry my Ah Chi."
Liu Ercui laughed loudly, "I'm getting a great deal if I marry into your family! Hey, I've made a note of this, don't try to cheat me in the future."
At this point, Pei'er in Qin Hanshu's arms kept reaching out, as if she wanted to go to Zhou Chi.
He was still babbling.
Liu Ercui patted her daughter's butt and said, "Look at my daughter, she has no shame at all. She is going to go to someone else's place now!"
Maybe it was because Qin Hanshu had become a mother, but she felt that she and Liu Ercui had more to talk about.
The two talked in the room for the entire afternoon, and there was no dull moment.
When it was time for dinner, Zhao Chunmiao and Qin Hanshu wanted Liu Ercui to stay for dinner, but she refused and ran away with Pei'er in her arms.
Zhao Chunmiao sighed, "Er Cui said that she spent the confinement period on her own after giving birth to Pei'er a few months ago. Tsk tsk, her in-laws didn't even offer to come and help."
As he spoke, Zhao Chunmiao was about to feed Qin Hanshu with a spoon.
Qin Hanshu quickly sat up straight and took the bowl, "Mom, I can do it myself."
Zhao Chunmiao handed her the bowl and talked about Liu Ercui again, "I feel like her husband treats her badly, too. Yesterday I saw her following her husband up the stairs. I don't know what he was scolding her for, but it was like he was scolding his grandson."
Although they didn't have much contact, Zhao Chunmiao liked Liu Ercui very much. He thought that although she seemed to be intimidating sometimes, she was actually a very honest person.
Qin Hanshu said: "She and Captain Zhang have always been living in such a noisy way. As for whether it is good or not..."
"She said it herself. Captain Zhang has been much gentler to her since the beginning of this year. When she was at home during her confinement, he would serve her food and drink."
"Isn't this as it should be? The child was born to the Zhang family..." Zhao Chunmiao curled his lips and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Shu, what did you say you were going to do with the water on the stove? I didn't hear clearly."
Qin Hanshu said: "I said I want to take a shower and wash my hair."
"That won't do!" Zhao Chunmiao shook her head quickly, "You can't be exposed to wind and water during the confinement period! I know you like to be clean, I'll just get a hot towel to wipe your body later."
Qin Hanshu said: "There is a hair dryer at home. You can blow dry your hair right after washing it. It's okay."
Zhao Chunmiao still shook his head. "I can do whatever you want with everything else, but not this. Just listen to me and bear with it!"
Zhao Chunmiao's attitude was firm, so Qin Hanshu said nothing more.
I was thinking of finding an opportunity to go into the space and wash up.
My hair is so greasy that it becomes tangled. I have to wash it.
Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Zhou Weiguang when she was lying in his arms.
"Did you wash your hair? Didn't mom forbid you to do it?"
Qin Hanshu's heart skipped a beat. Zhou Weiguang must not complain to Zhao Chunmiao, because she had not even left her room during the day and had no chance to wash her hair.
If Zhou Weiguang told Zhao Chunmiao about this, he would definitely find it strange.
Although the matter of space would not be discovered, she still had to take care to cover it up.
Qin Han said in a soft voice: "I washed it quietly, don't tell mom."
Zhou Weiguang usually goes along with her, but who would have thought that he would be so ruthless at this moment.
"No, I have to tell mom and ask her to keep an eye on you. The experience passed down by the older generation is not entirely unreasonable. We still have to listen to it."
Qin Hanshu continued to beg: "I will only wash it this time, and I will be obedient in the future. Can you hide it for me this time?"
When had Qin Hanshu ever begged him like this? Zhou Weiguang really couldn't harden his heart.
"Then you have to promise me that you won't wash your hair secretly during the confinement period."
Qin Hanshu nodded repeatedly.
Just be more secretive next time and don’t let Zhou Weiguang find you.
Zhou Weiguang's heart was beating fast as he felt his wife rubbing against his chest in a flattering manner.
During this long period of pregnancy, the couple had had intercourse two or three times, all of which were shallow and cautious.
Later, her belly grew bigger and bigger, and Zhou Weiguang was really scared, so he just endured it. He has been a vegetarian for several months.
But now that Qin Hanshu has just given birth, he can't be so beastly.
He just hugged his wife tightly, buried his dog nose into her fragrant neck, and took a few deep breaths.
Finally, I couldn't help it and took another bite.
Tsk, his wife's body is more tempting than the most delicious braised pork!
Qin Hanshu sensed his patience and chuckled, “If you beg me, I will help you.”
Zhou Weiguang wondered, "How can you help?"
Qin Hanshu felt uncomfortable for a moment. Was this man real or just pretending? Why did he feel purer than her?
"Well, you'll know if you ask."
Zhou Weiguang hesitated, mainly because he had never said this before, and he didn't know how to say it even to his wife.
After hesitating for a long time, curiosity finally got the better of him and he said it awkwardly.
Qin Hanshu admired Zhou Weiguang's embarrassment, chuckled, and slowly reached his hand behind him.
That night, Zhou Weiguang practiced the phrase "Please, ancestors" to perfection.
