Vip393 Childbirth
After getting married, Wanqing got unprecedented rest because with her mother-in-law Xu, who loved her daughter-in-law and looked forward to having a grandchild, around, she didn't have to do almost anything.
Xu's mother took her very seriously and would pick her out when she went to buy vegetables. She would go to people's homes around the county to pick vegetables from the fields herself, because she couldn't eat anything that had been stained with pesticides. Xu's father would bring chickens and ducks from the countryside, all of which were home-raised, real local chickens and ducks, and he would also bring some vegetables grown at home.
During the busy farming season, Xu's father couldn't leave, so Xu's mother went back in person. Although her cooking skills were not very good, she was very careful. Wanqing only watched it once and was very confident about the hygiene. In addition, with such reliable raw materials, she ate a lot of it, which made her very satisfied.
Ducks should be eaten old, and Xu's family had a few, so Wanqing stewed them all. Wanqing felt embarrassed, but Xu's mother said it was good for the child, and that the child would not have rashes when he was born, and she gave many examples.
Wanqing believed it and drank the old duck soup very hard. She thought that since Xu's mother took such good care of her, after the child was born, Xu's father and mother would give more, and Xu's relatives and friends would also give gifts. She only needed to take back 20,000 or 30,000 yuan of the 40,000 yuan given to Xu Zhong, and the rest would be considered as repayment. However, Xu Zhong probably wouldn't want it, so she had to secretly leave some before leaving...
On June 20th, Wanqing felt something moving in her stomach, so Xu Zhong hurriedly sent her to the hospital. Xu's mother also called the countryside, and Xu's father and others followed into the city.
Wanqing lay in the hospital all night, and the pain only started the next morning. She wanted a natural birth, which was said to be good for the baby. But after a day of pain, she couldn't give birth, so she had to have a cesarean section. Finally, on the 22nd, she gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the Xu family was happy.
Wanqing was almost exhausted, thinking about how to raise two children. She felt a little depressed lying on the bed, frowning and unable to relax. But when she woke up the next day, she was still energetic. She had already given birth to the children, so she had to work hard. Now it was useless to rely on anyone, she could only rely on herself.
The Xu family naturally took great care of her. Although she felt sorry for them, her health was the capital of the revolution, and her children were more important, so she didn't bother to be polite with them. Anyway, there was 40,000 yuan pledged with Xu Zhong. At worst, she wouldn't take a penny when she divorced, and she could use it all to repay their kindness!
After being discharged from the hospital, she stayed in the house she rented for confinement. Because there were two children, Xu's mother was afraid that she could not take care of them alone, so she called Xu Zhong's sister to come up. Xu Zhong's sister gave birth to two sons, and the eldest son is in elementary school. In recent years, she has also seen her cousin give birth, so she is also experienced.
Wanqing lay in bed watching them busy, and suddenly felt that she and Xu Zhong were in a fake marriage. If she were alone, she would not be able to do it during the confinement period. Even if she found a nanny, she would not be able to take care of her as well as Xu's mother - Xu's mother was taking care of her grandson.
She increasingly felt that this favor was as heavy as a mountain, and she didn't know how to explain it when she divorced in the future.
Xu Zhong had a grandmother at home. Among a bunch of grandchildren, Xu Zhong was the youngest, and Grandma Xu loved him the most. But Grandma Xu was old, and everyone was afraid to let her take the bus, so they never let her come to the city to see Wanqing.
After Wanqing gave birth, it was unprecedented for them to have twins, and Grandma Xu was more excited than ever. She wanted to come and see them, but was persuaded by Xu's father and Xu Zhong's aunt not to let her come. After the baby was one month old, she couldn't wait any longer and urged Xu's father every few days. When she got the news, she had no choice but to wait for more than half a month, pack up her things and take Wanqing back.
Before leaving, Xu's mother gave the landlord a red envelope and hung red money. Wanqing thought that there were so many customs. Fortunately, there was someone with her, otherwise she would have violated other people's taboos without knowing it.
Wanqing thought Taiping was just a scenic spot she passed by, but she didn't expect to go back. This time, she would stay there for at least three to five months, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The Xu family was not in the town, but in a village two miles away from the town. The village had beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. When Wanqing arrived, there were naturally many onlookers, all praising her for her good looks and saying that Xu Zhong was lucky. Xu Zhong could only smile foolishly, and Wanqing felt under great pressure.
Xu Zhong's house is a two-story building. He and Wan Qing sleep upstairs. At night, they lock the door. Xu Zhong pulls the mat to the ground and starts to sleep on the floor, while Wan Qing sleeps on the bed with the child.
Wan Qing asked worriedly, "Everyone has seen it. What will you do if I leave?"
"Don't worry. We country folks always like to go out to work and earn money. My eldest aunt's son got divorced, and both of them ran away. No one outside knows about this except our family. Now marriages and divorces must be handled in the county. When the time is right, you can go to the county. The reasons are ready. I work there, so I can't always leave you and the child here, right? Then we can get divorced secretly, and you can leave secretly. We may be able to hide it for several months before our family finds out."
"I always feel sorry for you." Wan Qing sighed. But there was nothing she could do, they were already married, and they had to get divorced.
Xu Zhong was at work and was at home at most two days a week. They slept in separate beds with the door closed, and no one noticed. It was just that it was inconvenient to feed the child when he was hungry in the middle of the night, and Xu Zhong had to go to the toilet every time. And in the hot summer, Wan Qing had to dress more tightly in front of him, which was also very uncomfortable. But after he left, the child woke up in the middle of the night, and there was no one to help. Wan Qing had to take care of this and that, and was often so tired that she wanted to cry.
Raising a child was much harder than she had imagined.
During the Ghost Festival, the Xu family burned paper for the deceased. Wanqing thought of Xu Kewei and felt depressed. Xu's mother looked at her and asked, "Where are your parents buried?" Wanqing said that her parents were gone, and the Xu family thought that her parents had passed away.
"Yongning."
Xu Kewei: In March, it is the birthday festival, in April, it is the Qingming Festival, and in April, it is the funeral for the dead. Wanqing wants to go to the graves, but she is pregnant and it is not convenient, so she has never gone. Now it is the Ghost Festival, so she cannot go either. Maybe next year, I will go with my child.
"Yongning is not too far away, we can get there in one day." Xu's mother handed her a stack of paper and said, "You can burn two piles for them next to it and ask them to come here to get it. When the child is older, let Xu Zhong bring the child to visit the grave with you."
"Can we harvest the fruits of burning here?"
"It can be collected, we all burn it this way. Someone here married to Fujian, and we still have to ask for her father when we burn paper during festivals. Her father is here."
Wan Qing nodded and sincerely burned two piles of firewood for Xu Kewei. She silently recited her recent situation and talked about the child.
The child's hundred-day banquet happened to be during the National Day holiday, and several people in the village who were working or studying in big cities would come back. Xu's mother said Wanqing was lucky, so in order to make her familiar with the people and things around her, she told her about those people one by one.
This celebration was not only for the baby's hundredth day, but also for Wanqing and Xu Zhong to hold a wedding banquet. The family had started preparing for it three days in advance.
