"I got it. I'll bring it back later." An Hongdou responded and rode out on her bike.
At the gate of the Su family, she parked her bicycle aside and was not in a hurry to go in.
Fortunately, the door was not closed, so she lay down beside it and looked inside.
Grandma Su was hanging clothes inside. She turned around and saw An Hongdou acting suspiciously, so she waved at her.
Only then did An Hongdou walk in with peace of mind. "Grandma, where is Sanbao?"
"The boy cried for a while in the afternoon and just fell asleep not long ago." Grandma Su said, and then asked her caringly, "Are you worried about the child? He is sleeping now, can you go in and take a look at him?"
"I have grandma watching over me, so why should I worry?" An Hongdou smiled. "But this child has been with me for so long, and I really miss him now that I can't see him anymore."
"Grandma understands. Mother and child are connected by heart. It's normal for you to miss him." The baby also missed his mother, but in order to wean him as soon as possible, temporary separation was still necessary.
"Then I'll go in and secretly take a look at him while he's sleeping." An Hongdou said as she walked into the house.
Grandma Su's bedroom was not closed, and when she heard him say that Sanbao had fallen asleep, An Hongdou did not hide anything and walked straight in.
She never expected that as soon as she entered the door, she saw Sanbao's eyes rolling around with his eyes open.
By chance, she turned to An Hongdou's side, and when she saw her, she pouted and started crying in grievance.
The sound of "wa wa" was heard, and Grandma Su hurried over from outside.
An Hongdou was one step faster and went up to hold Sanbao in her arms.
"Son, do you miss your mother? Mommy is here to hug you..." An Hongdou picked him up, rocked him and coaxed him.
Sanbao sobbed a few times and gradually stopped crying.
However, the little hands were randomly grabbing her chest, and she couldn't say what she wanted to do. She could only scream in grievance from time to time to vent her grievances.
An Hongdou naturally knew that he wanted to eat.
But in order to wean him, she couldn't satisfy him.
Without food, Sanbao started waving his little hands around and crying with a pouty mouth.
Grandma Su came in from outside, quickly took Sanbao into her arms, and said to An Hongdou, "Hongdou, you should go out first, and don't let him see you."
It would be strange if the child didn’t make a fuss if he could only watch the food but couldn’t eat it.
An Hongdou could only walk out helplessly, not daring to appear in front of him again.
She sat on the sofa outside and listened to Sanbao crying for a while. She felt like she was being scratched by a cat in her heart.
Not long after, Grandma Su came out and said, "The boy has fallen asleep again. You should go back quickly. Just bear with it for the next two days. Wait until your milk stops flowing and then come back. If he can't eat, he won't eat anymore."
An Hongdou sighed helplessly, feeling a little frustrated, "Well, I'll trouble you for the next two days."
"Why bother? It's all my duty." Grandma Su sent An Hongdou out and asked about the other two boys in her family.
Grandma Su was relieved to learn that they were well taken care of by Aunt Wang.
Halfway through the journey, An Hongdou took out a net bag of green vegetables and two large cabbages from the space, and also took out two carrots and a two-pound peeled pork belly, along with two large ribs, and then took them all back home.
It is indeed inconvenient for Aunt Wang to buy groceries with her child. She has to go to school, and she doesn't even have time to squeeze in time to kiss her child when she gets home, let alone waste that time going out to buy groceries.
So, take out a little more. The weather is still cold, so there’s no need to worry about it going bad.
Chen Xiangzhi came back very late as usual. Aunt Wang left some food for him in the pot and cleaned up the kitchen before going home.
An Changyue helped take care of the children when she came back and is still doing her homework now.
An Hongdou was fine. She had finished all that she could do at school, so it didn't matter if she had some left to do later.
When Chen Xiangzhi came back, what he saw was An Hongdou, who was still lying on the table doing homework late at night.
Fortunately, it’s not like she has never been to school, so these questions are not difficult for her.
Considering the situation at home, Shen Xiangzhi already knew why she stayed up late without her saying anything.
After he finished his meal and An Hongdou finished her work, Shen Xiangzhi discussed with her about hiring another person to help take care of the house.
Although Grandma Su will be able to come and help after the third baby is weaned, she is not young anymore, and taking care of a child as old as eight or nine months old becomes more and more tiring. Grandma Su also has to take care of her own family, so she can't stay here every day.
An Hongdou had no objection to this, but she still had to ask Shen Wanhua to see if it was reasonable to hire two nannies at home.
Chen Xiangzhi comes back late every day, but leaves early.
After breakfast, when An Hongdou was about to leave, Aunt Wang was still busy changing diapers for the two children.
Seeing that she was really tired, An Hongdou told her to hold on for a few more days. The family would hire someone else, and it would be a little easier with two people looking after the child.
When Aunt Wang heard that the family was going to hire another person, she suddenly had an idea.
But she was too embarrassed to say it.
An Hongdou noticed that she was hesitant to speak, so she deliberately said playfully, "Aunt Wang, although you work in my house, you also know that the child's father and I are young, and our ideas and practices may not be in place for some things. You are also our elder, so if we do anything wrong, you have to give us more advice."
It’s not that An Hongdou is deliberately being polite to others.
Taking care of children is a meticulous and tiring job.
Although the other person is paid to do the work, as the hostess of the house, if she is polite to him, maybe in return he will pay more attention to the children.
For the sake of her children, she would not suffer any loss.
Sure enough, after hearing what An Hongdou said, Aunt Wang's nervous expression relaxed. "It's not a big deal. I heard you say that your family wants to find someone else, so I was thinking, can you let my daughter-in-law come over?"
Shen Wanhua had told them about the conditions of Aunt Wang's family when she came.
She was widowed at a young age and raised her son alone by working. In order to find a wife for her son, she gave her job to her son.
Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, the family relies on her son's salary and the daily paper box pasting by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. So, Aunt Wang came out to help others. It is somewhat better than pasting paper boxes, and it can also save three meals for the family.
But An Hongdou was more worried, "I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant, Aunt Wang, it's not easy to hold a baby."
"It doesn't matter. My daughter-in-law is not a rich lady. She has been pregnant for three months and is now firm. She can come over to help for a while. If you can find a suitable person, you can let her go back. Besides, we are working in your house and we don't ask for much salary. If you also provide her with three meals a day, you can just give her a salary as you see fit."
