The days slipped by as the children changed dramatically, one day at a time.
In a blink of an eye, the warm two-month confinement period was over, and good news came from Lin Yiman, confirming that she was pregnant for a month.
By the time I finished my double confinement period, it was almost the end of April and the weather had become warmer.
Wang Jianshe custom-made a small bed from a carpenter in a nearby village. It was spacious enough for three children. So, in the morning when the sun was shining and there was no wind, Wen Nuan and Yang Chunhua would move the small bed out to let the children bask in the sun.
That day, just after the children were settled, a voice was heard at the gate of the yard.
"Is anyone there? We're coming in!"
"Hey, someone, someone, come in!" Yang Chunhua, who was washing clothes, shouted hurriedly.
Then the door was pushed open, and an old woman and a young woman in her twenties walked in.
"Hello, comrades, who are you?" Yang Chunhua saw that she didn't recognize them, so she quickly stood up and stood in front of the two people and asked.
"Hello, comrade, we are from the family quarters at the foot of the mountain, and this is my daughter-in-law," the old woman came forward and said enthusiastically.
"Oh, hello, what are you doing?" Yang Chunhua asked, while Wen Nuan just sat quietly beside the crib and looked at the child.
"Hi, we heard that your family gave birth to triplets. This is a very rare thing, so we thought of coming to see it," said the old woman and wanted to go to the children.
Yang Chunhua glanced at Wen Nuan and saw her nod, then she turned sideways to let the old woman and her daughter-in-law pass.
"Oh, these are the triplets, white and chubby, so cute!" The old woman walked forward and pressed the bed railing and said with a smile.
Wen Nuan didn't say anything, just smiled politely, and then secretly looked at the old woman and her daughter-in-law.
This old woman has prominent cheekbones, a short distance between her eyebrows, a small mouth and nose, and a sarcastic look. It's obvious that she's not easy to deal with.
As for her daughter-in-law behind her, she was tall and pretty, wearing a long-sleeved floral dress and a pair of black leather shoes. She looked very fashionable, but her eyes were full of disgust and contempt, which made Wen Nuan very dislike!
In short, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both seemed to be a pushover. Wen Nuan didn't want to communicate with them. Fei Fei woke up just in time, so she picked him up and said, "Mom, Fei Fei is awake. I'll take him back to the house to feed him. You come and look after Zhuang Zhuang and Xiu Xiu!"
"Okay, come in quickly, I'll take care of Zhuangzhuang and Xiuxiu!" Yang Chunhua hurried over and said when she heard it.
Wen Nuan nodded to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then carried Fei Fei back to the house. When passing the main room, she whispered a few words to Wang Xiaomei who was doing the homework she assigned. Wang Xiaomei nodded, put down her pen, and went out to the small bed to check on Zhuangzhuang and Xiuxiu. Only then did Wen Nuan feel relieved and went back to the inner room.
After feeding Feifei, Wen Nuan interacted with Feifei in a low voice for a while, and then she heard Yang Chunhua's voice outside.
"Oh, this won't work, the child just peed on it and I haven't washed it yet!"
"It's okay, old sister, I can wash it myself!"
"Ouch, that's not good. There are a lot of clean ones here. Take a clean one!"
"No, this one will do!"
Just as I heard it, Wang Xiaomei brought in Zhuangzhuang, who was awake and not crying. Wen Nuan took Zhuangzhuang and asked, "What are you doing outside?"
"He comes here to ask for diapers again. This one is even more interesting. He insists on the one that Zhuangzhuang just wetted with his urine. Mom said he doesn't want a clean one, but he insists on that one!" Wang Xiaomei pouted. She didn't like those two people. The old one had a greedy face, and the young one was looking down on someone!
"Wow..." Xiuxiu cried.
"Go and bring Xiuxiu in quickly!" Wen Nuan became anxious when she heard her daughter crying.
Wang Xiaomei quickly turned around and ran out to bring Xiuxiu in. After a while, Yang Chunhua followed in.
"Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left?"
"Gone!" Yang Chunhua looked a little angry, "That old woman is sick!"
"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan asked while feeding Xiu Xiu.
"That old woman wanted a diaper. You said you wanted it, then take it. I told her to get a new one, but she insisted on getting the one Zhuangzhuang had just wet. I asked her to choose a clean one, but she said she was afraid of picking Xiuxiu's. She also said that girls were money-losing goods, and her family didn't want money-losing goods, but only boys'. She's sick!"
"Okay, don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself upset over this," Wen Nuan saw that Yang Chunhua was very angry and quickly comforted her.
"They say our Xiuxiu is a money-losing commodity. Well, she's not a woman, so she's also a money-losing commodity!" Yang Chunhua became angrier the more she thought about it.
Wen Nuan was also angry, but she would not do such a disadvantageous thing as punishing herself for the mistakes of others.
"Okay, Mom, don't be angry anymore. Our Xiuxiu wants grandma to hug her," Wen Nuan handed the breastfeeding Xiuxiu to Yang Chunhua.
"Oh, grandma's dear granddaughter, our Xiuxiu is not a money-loser, she is the golden Gada of our Wang family!" Yang Chunhua said with a smile, holding her granddaughter who had become much fatter and whiter.
"Auntie!" Suddenly, Wang Xiangyu's voice rang out in the yard.
"Xiangyu, we are in the house, come in!" Yang Chunhua shouted in the house.
When Wang Xiangyu heard what Yang Chunhua said, she went straight to the inner room.
"Aunt, what did Captain Ma's mother come here for just now?" Wang Xiangyu asked impatiently as she entered the house.
"What Captain Ma's mother? I don't know her," Yang Chunhua was a little confused after hearing what Wang Xiangyu said.
"That old woman who just left your house, the one behind her is Commander Wu's daughter!"
"What! Are they the company commander Ma's mother and the daughter of division commander Wu that you mentioned before?!"
"Yeah, you don't know each other? Then what are they doing here?"
"Come to ask for diapers. The old woman said that the woman is her daughter-in-law. So, the daughter of Captain Ma and Commander Wu is already a daughter?"
"No, I haven't heard of it. Captain Ma's wife and daughter are still there!" Wang Xiangyu was also a little confused.
"I was wondering, no wonder that damn old woman said that our Xiuxiu was a money-losing commodity. It turns out that she is the mother of Captain Ma. What a disgusting thing. If I had known this, I would not have let her in at all!" Yang Chunhua said hatefully.
Wen Nuan also felt a little bad. She didn't expect that they would come to her house.
"Sister-in-law, how is Captain Ma's family doing recently? Why did that old woman say that Commander Wu's daughter is her daughter-in-law, and Captain Ma has separated from his original wife?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard from my best sister. I'm going to my best sister's house to ask now. You wait, I'll tell you when I come back!" After saying that, Wang Xiangyu turned around and trotted out.
Wen Nuan looked at Wang Xiangyu's anxious expression, and a flock of crows flew over her head...
