I lay in bed for ages, but I was finally able to get up. After Xie Yuancheng left, I wanted to go see my mother. Could it be some kind of premonition that led her to appear in my dream beforehand?
I saw that there was no one outside, so I prepared to go to my mother's place.
I just went out and saw Yu'er running over. I really wonder how he can run so fast. He's only a year and a half old. Shouldn't he be walking with a wobbly gait?
"Mommy~ I want a hug." Yu'er is truly gifted; he can run fast at such a small size and stop steadily.
I picked up my dear son, and he didn't seem to mind at all: "Yu'er~ Don't run so fast next time."
"Waaah!" This little brat, he even uses crying to threaten me.
I started pinching his chubby cheeks, and he grinned, "Giggle~"
"Don't cry to protest next time, or I'll tickle you."
"Haha." Yu'er is chubby, not fat, but soft and cute, and very easy to pinch. He laughs when you pinch him.
"My good son, come with me to see Grandma."
"Grandma, haha." I switched him to my other hand, and the little guy laughed so happily.
There are two other younger ones, and I don't know if they've been making a fuss, but whenever Yu'er cries, they cry along with her, making it a trio.
"Mom~ I want Liangliang." Yu'er pointed to the lotus flowers on the water. It was springtime, and the lotus flowers were only showing their buds.
"Little flower enthusiast, Mom will pick one for you when it blooms."
Yu'er clapped beside me. He can be very naughty at times, but he's very well-behaved when I pick him up. He knows I'm not strong, so he doesn't struggle. When he's being stubborn, he'll pull hard until he gets what he wants.
"Yu'er smells so nice~ What did Grandma put on you?"
I could smell the milky scent on Yu'er; at his age, he smells the best.
"Xiangxiang~" Yu'er came to pull my earring, luckily I dodged it, he still has some strength now, once he grabbed it he wouldn't let go.
Sometimes people are afraid of hurting him, so they let him pinch them. He pinches them without any restraint, and when he's happy, he swings them around.
I got my ears pierced in 2020. Xie Yuancheng liked a pair of earrings, so I got mine pierced. After a few days of rest, the redness and swelling stopped, and I was able to start wearing earrings.
Yu'er couldn't grab the earring, so he climbed onto my shoulder to try and get it, and I moved it to the other side. I took out a bracelet for him to play with; Xie Yuancheng made it for me when he had nothing to do, it's light and pretty.
As expected, Yu'er stopped bothering me with my earrings and focused on playing with the bracelet.
I carried him to the door and heard Su Ling giggling inside. Before I could say anything, Yu'er called out "Little sister!"
"Ying'er, why did you get out of bed?" My mother looked unhappy when she saw me.
“Mother~ Yu’er runs to the door to call for you whenever he’s free. Of course I have to get up. Anyway, I’m all better now and I didn’t bump into anything.”
I stretched the back of my head out for my mother to see, and after looking at it carefully, she finally felt relieved.
“From now on, we can’t sit on the ground and play with Yu’er unless it’s absolutely necessary. Luckily, Yuan Cheng came back at that time. If we had been delayed in getting a doctor, what would have happened?”
"My daughter knows."
I put Yu'er down, and he went straight to the cradle, took the chain, and shook it at Su Ling, saying, "Little sister~ Liangliang."
“Yu’er, there’s also your younger brother, show him too.”
My mother and I squatted down next to him. Wan'er and the others had gone out to buy things. The people walking around the mansion and guarding the gate were all security guards, so it was just our family inside.
My mother has also worked hard. She has enjoyed most of her life, and now she has to live this frugal life for my sake.
"Mother, you're going to Yuxianglou to buy things the day after tomorrow, right?"
Mother turned around, her expression shocked: "How did you know? I just discussed it with Master this morning, and we haven't decided yet!"
It really was true. I dreamt that my mother went to Yuxianglou to buy things, and shortly after she left, she was hit by a speeding carriage, and then...
"Of course I know. What did you buy? Let's go buy it tomorrow. I haven't been out in ages."
Hearing that we were going out, Yu'er stopped teasing Su Ling and came to my side with the chain, saying, "Mother~ we're going out."
“Yu’er also wants to go out, so let’s go out together tomorrow.”
"Okay." I took the chain off Yu'er's hand. His hands are so delicate, even if the chain is made very finely, it will still cut his hands.
"Mommy~ I want Liangliang." Yu'er reached out to grab it, but I gave him the little wooden car on the ground, and he took it to play with it.
After my mother went to pick up Xizhi and comfort him, I played with Suling next to the cradle, but I kept thinking to myself, could I be able to have premonitions in my dreams and remember them when I wake up?
Could it be that I fell and hit my head yesterday, which sparked my inspiration? I should talk to Xie Yuancheng about this; he has the most ideas.
What worries me more is that he'll probably go find a sorcerer to take another look at me. But since we went to 2020 together, he should understand; having another person know will help ease the pressure.
However, when I mentioned it to Xie Yuancheng that night, he was stunned and said I was overthinking it.
"Anyway, Mom and I will go buy what she wants tomorrow, and I'll be watching from the door early the day after tomorrow. You should come too."
"Ying'er, Uncle Cui is dealing with the Empress's remaining relatives now, don't make things worse."
Xie Yuancheng looked worried, but I really had a feeling something was going to happen. He was already very tired, so I came secretly.
"Okay, go wash up and come back to sleep."
I sent him away first. Mother was worried that my condition was unstable these past few days, so she didn't let the three children come over. I lay in bed thinking about that dream. I had never dreamed of it before, so I had to be careful.
No one would believe this if I told them, so I'd better be careful.
Xie Yuancheng is now falling asleep the moment his head hits the pillow. His father didn't come back tonight; he probably came back because he was worried that there were a lot of women in our household who needed to be taken care of.
I touched the skin on his face; it used to be smooth, but now it had become dull.
He used to wake up instantly when I touched his face, but now he sleeps even more soundly than I do.
I've started to close my eyes and rest. Tomorrow I have to take care of the children and go shopping with my mother, so there's still a lot to do. I must maintain a good mental state.
As dawn broke, I reached out to touch the edge of the bed, only to find that Xie Yuancheng was gone, and the blankets were cold.
I was very unhappy, but when I thought about how busy he was every day, I felt much more at ease.
He was always by my side during my pregnancy, and now that I've been out of confinement for almost a month, it's time for him to go and take care of his own things.
After I finished, I went to my mother's place. As soon as Yu'er saw me, he wanted a hug. He had just woken up, so I carried him around the house.
I would occasionally check on Anxiang as she washed Suling and Xizhi's faces. Since I needed to take care of my mother, I had them come here temporarily. I would let them go back when my mother felt I was better and took the children to my room.
