When they arrived at the post office, He Tingjun stuffed the clothes and mountain products for He Ying's son into a big package and sent them out together.
Fearing that the packaging would be damaged during transportation, he even spent some extra money to have the post office staff wrap the two items several times with oilcloth to prevent his clothes from being stained with the smell of mountain products.
This package from the northernmost part of the country traveled for more than two months and finally arrived at the southwestern border of the motherland on the eve of New Year's Day.
"He Zhizhi, there's a package for your family."
He's father was the highest leader of the Southwest Military Region, and packages to his home were always delivered to his home by a special person.
In the living room, He Ying was holding a crying baby and trying to comfort the baby. The baby's crying was like a devilish sound in her ears, making her feel very irritated.
Hearing the noise outside, she couldn't free her hands to open the door, so she turned towards the kitchen and shouted, "Auntie Lan, come open the door and get a package."
Aunt Lan is the nanny hired by the He family.
He Ying's husband, Zou Qian, did not have a high rank and was not qualified to have his family accompany him to the army, so He Ying had been living in her parents' home since they got married. Zou Qian also lived in the dormitory on weekdays and only came to the He family to stay for two days when he was on vacation.
Because He Ying lived with her parents, and it was inconvenient for Zou Xianyu to come and take care of her during the confinement period, he paid for her to find a nanny to take care of her.
Aunt Lan was the nanny that He Ying's mother Shi Shan found for her after she gave birth. She was a villager from a village near the garrison, had given birth to several children, and had worked as a nanny in the military region for several times before, mainly helping to look after children and cook. She had a very good reputation in the family compound.
When Aunt Lan heard He Ying's voice, she put down the half-peeled garlic in her hand, washed her hands in the sink, and wiped them dry on her apron while walking towards the door.
She opened the door and took the package into the house.
He Ying was walking and swaying with the child in her arms. She turned around and saw Aunt Lan coming in with a package that was twice the size of her body. A look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Where did this package come from? Why is it so big?"
Auntie Lan couldn't read and couldn't understand the mailing slip. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. I forgot to ask that little guy just now."
"Okay, then you put it at the door first. I'll watch it myself after I coax Chenchen to sleep."
He Ying and Zou Qian's son was named Zou Chen.
"Then I'll put it here for now." Aunt Lan nodded, put the package next to the kumquat tree at the door, and turned back to the kitchen.
He Ying didn't think about it until after lunch.
Qi Wei was too tired to take care of the child, so after dinner she went back to her room and lay down to feed the child. When the child fell asleep, she yawned and fell asleep too.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the heartbreaking cry of my child.
She shuddered all over and sat up suddenly from the bed. She opened her eyes but did not rush to pick up the child. Instead, she touched the child's crotch as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Sure enough, the diaper was wet.
When I opened it, another foul and sour smell came out.
Not only did he pee, he also pooped...
He Ying was on the verge of collapse. She had no idea where to start, so she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Auntie Lan! Auntie Lan!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Aunt Lan heard the sound and hurried over.
He Ying looked at her for help: "Chenchen has diarrhea."
"No, leave it there, I'll do it."
Aunt Lan was very quick. She walked to the bed, bent down, grabbed the child's ankles with one hand, lifted his little butt, and with the other hand, quickly pulled out the diaper full of urine and poop and threw it into the washing basin next to her. Then she pulled out a clean diaper and wiped the poop off the child's butt and legs. After wiping, she threw the diaper into the washing basin as well. After that, she added warm water to wash the child's butt, and after washing it, she wiped his little butt and legs dry with a special butt-wiping towel. Then she changed him into clean open-crotch pants and stuffed a soft, dry diaper into the open-crotch pants.
In this way, a standard diaper changing process is completed.
Aunt Lan washed the baby clean and he stopped crying and making a fuss. He Ying then held him in her arms and looked at Aunt Lan with a look of relief. "Aunt Lan, I'm so glad you're home. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do."
He Ying couldn't even imagine the thought of not having a nanny at home. She would have to change the child's diaper herself when he peed or pooped, and then wash the basin of yellow and green diapers stained with poop herself.
vomit.
He Ying felt nauseous just thinking about it.
She even felt that she would go crazy within three days.
Aunt Lan was washing diapers by the river with a wash basin. He Ying saw that the sun was about to set and the sunlight was softer, so she took her son out to bask in the sun.
After chatting about parenting with the daughter-in-law of the political commissar next door, Shi Shan, who worked at the military hospital, came back from get off work.
He Ying hurriedly took the child back home.
Shi Shan had already entered the house. Seeing the large package at the door, she turned and asked He Ying behind her, "Who sent this? Why was it left here?"
"I don't know." He Ying quickly explained: "When the package was delivered, Chenchen was crying. I was busy comforting the child and didn't have time to look at it. As a result, I forgot about it after comforting the child."
"You've been forgetting more and more lately." Shi Shan pointed at her and said, "If you can't do that, just leave the child with Aunt Lan and go back to work early. If you always stay at home to look after the child, your memory will only get worse."
"Mom, I don't want to go home so early from work. I want to take care of him for a while longer." He Ying lowered her eyes and said, "When I was little, you and Dad were busy, so my brother took care of me. As a result, I am afraid of this and that when I want to be closer to you, worried that you will be unhappy. I don't want my child to be like me."
Shi Shan always regretted that she was so busy with work when she was young that she neglected her children at home.
Hearing He Ying mention her childhood sweetheart, Shi Shan's eyes flashed with guilt. "Since that's what you think, I won't force you. I just can't take too long a sick leave. If you feel you're not up to the job of announcer, you can apply to be transferred to the logistics department. The work there is easy, and the night shift is early, so you can spend time with your child."
The announcer's job is easy, so how could He Ying not be able to do it?
He Yingming understood Shi Shan's intention and knew that she didn't want to be treated specially.
To put it bluntly, you can't occupy the toilet without taking a shit.
