Chapter 243 Jiang Yanni Collapses
The fatigue of long journeys isn't just for adults; even children, who seem to be eating and sleeping all the time and behaving the same as usual, are exhausted from the excitement of the different scenery along the way.
Not long after they finished eating the steamed eggs, the four children fell asleep one after another.
With the child asleep, Aunt Liu went to clear the dishes, and only then did the family have time to chat.
Tang Tian asked impatiently, "Xiao Jiang, didn't you have two boys before? How come you have a girl now?"
"Could it be that they discovered there was still one baby missing three or four months after giving birth?"
That's just how cats and dogs are.
After giving birth to two, three, or four more, the mother stopped. The mother thought the baby had already given birth, but after two, three, or four days, the baby suddenly gave birth to one or two more.
Although I've never heard of a person being able to give birth after a period of time, what if it happens?
Right?
Lu Xiangnan tapped his wife speechlessly: "Don't talk nonsense."
He looked at his parents, then at his younger siblings: "What's going on? How come there's suddenly another child?"
Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Jiang Jianni exchanged a glance. Mrs. Lu said, "This is a long story..."
They had already discussed this issue before they came.
The eldest and fourth sons didn't come back, so they didn't know there were two more children in the family.
The third couple did come back, though they didn't stay or see them in person, but the old couple had mentioned that the third couple had given birth to twins.
Even in the rush, they managed to leave a gift for the child.
It wasn't anything else, it's just that I heard Jiang Jiani liked seashells, so I specially asked a fisherman to buy me a bag full of all kinds of pretty seashells.
There were two bracelets made by fishermen's children inside, which were given as a gift to the twins.
Therefore, Lu Ran's matter cannot be kept from them no matter who they are.
Lu Xiangnan and Tang Tian clenched their fists in anger after hearing this: "Damn it, what kind of parents are they? If you don't want them, don't have them."
What does it mean to give birth and then abort?
Aunt Lu looked at them coldly: "Isn't that similar to what you guys are doing?"
The couple immediately felt awkward.
Tang Tian explained, "We've been too busy to take care of the children, but we haven't forgotten them, really."
Lu Xiangnan quickly added, "I won't fool you."
"I also prepared a lot of toys for the child."
As he spoke, he went straight upstairs and carried a box down.
"Look, these are all things I made for the kids. I was just thinking of sending them back when I have time."
Tang Tian also brought back a box: "Me too, me too."
"Look at what I made. Ugh, it was so hard to make this. My hands are about to fall off."
Lu Xiangnan's box was full of toys assembled from bullet casings.
It has everything: tanks, cars, trucks, tower cranes, airplanes, fighter jets, and ships, and there are three of them in a row, obviously indicating that it has three children.
No wonder he made such a loud noise when he put the box down.
How could a box of spent bullet casings not be heavy?
Tang Tian makes seashell toys.
A small box was filled with whistles of all sizes made from various seashells, and there were at least three of each.
The most eye-catching items are three beautiful and huge coconut shell whistles; I have no idea how she made them.
Tang Tian said, "Oh, I didn't know we had another child in our family. We only made three sets when we were making them."
"Aren't you going to stay here for a while?"
"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to make another set in the next few days."
"I guarantee that all four of our children will have one."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
She felt that these toys didn't need to be given to the child; she could just give them to her.
However, I simply couldn't bring myself to say it.
For the first two days after arriving, Jiang Jiani didn't go out much except to buy groceries.
After resting for two days, I felt both mentally and physically recovered, and then I was full of energy and ready to go beachcombing with the locals!
Thousands of kilometers away, the Jiang family has been turned upside down.
Jiang Yanni always thought that taking care of the family was very simple.
All I did was cook, wash clothes, sweep the floor, and wipe the tables and chairs. The rest of the time was spent visiting neighbors, chatting, and gossiping.
Now that we have a washing machine at home, we no longer have to hand wash all our clothes, sheets, and blankets like before.
Simply throw the items in, add water, wash them, take them out and shake them dry, then throw them in again, add water, wash them, repeat this process a few times, and then hang them up – that's it.
It's such a simple thing.
Why do her brother and mother treat housework like an enemy?
Jiang Yanni is a good student, but not exceptionally so.
Aside from not being as smart as her third brother, the main reason is that she has the mentality of an ordinary person.
I think Yang Yuemei's life is pretty good, and I would be very satisfied if she could live like that in the future.
She doesn't have to have four children like her mother.
She only needs to have two children.
The man earns the money, while she manages the household and raises the children.
Isn't that great?
Why bother studying hard and working hard to earn money yourself?
Why not just let men earn money?
However, her ideas were at odds with those of her family, and even though she thought so, she never dared to say them aloud.
She didn't dare tell her older sister, who was only focused on studying.
Therefore, she didn't think that Yang Yuemei was any different from taking care of a child when she was managing the whole family's food, drink, and daily needs.
So what if we have another child?
How tired can you get?
Besides, Dudu is such a good girl.
Dudu hardly ever cries; she's happy just running around laughing all day.
What's difficult to take care of?
Even now, she has taken over all the household affairs and all of Dudu's affairs.
She didn't feel anything was wrong on the first day.
Dudu is a bit annoying.
She never knew that children could be so annoying.
She wants to eat one minute and play the next. She can't play by herself; she wants someone to play with her too. If she doesn't get food or play with someone, she cries and cries incessantly.
I was still awake around 10 p.m. and woke up around 5 or 6 a.m.
Although Jiang Jiani is used to going to bed early and waking up early, it's summer vacation now.
She can't even sleep in in the morning.
Although she didn't do her homework, she thought it was okay and the next day she would try to exhaust Dudu's energy so she could go to sleep.
She can do her homework once Dudu goes to sleep.
To my surprise, things went even more awful the next day.
It was as if the whole family was focused on changing clothes on this one day.
Not only did everyone change their clothes, but they also changed the bed sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases.
Not only do I have a huge pile of clothes waiting to be washed, but I also have to separate them by color and whether they will fade or not.
I wasn't looking for a second while I was doing laundry, and Dudu almost fell off the stool and into the washing machine.
Her heart pounded for half an hour in fright.
Then it took me half a day to wash the clothes.
You need to constantly change the water, spin dry, and then air dry.
She almost missed making lunch.
After hurriedly preparing lunch, Dudu suddenly started crying again, calling for her grandma.
I don't know what's wrong with this little guy; he woke up from his nap and wanted to see his grandma again.
Jiang Yanni had finally managed to play with him and forgot about looking for her grandmother, but now she had to cook dinner again.
Not only do I have to cook dinner, but I also have to cook a separate meal for Dudu.
By the time the family finished eating, washing up, and putting Dudu to sleep, she was completely exhausted.
However, I still haven't had time to write about this summer vacation.
I managed to write less than a page before collapsing onto the table and falling asleep.
The next day, there was another pile of dirty clothes.
Just like yesterday.
At first, Jiang Yanni stubbornly held on, but a week later, when she looked in the mirror at herself, who looked ten years older, disheveled, with bloodshot eyes, dark circles as heavy as a panda's, and a sallow complexion, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah, I quit!"
"Waaah, I'll study hard, okay?"
"Can I quit? Waaaaah..."
