Although Su He spent most of her postpartum period in bed, she would occasionally get up and walk around. As long as she didn't go out, Grandma Su generally wouldn't say anything.
The only problem is that I don't let her take a bath or wash her hair. It's May now, and although it's not hot, it's still too uncomfortable for her not to wash for so long.
Su He's head was unbearably itchy, and she complained to Lin Jingyan that night. The next day, Lin Jingyan went to the hospital to ask about it, and when he came back, he brought a big bag of mugwort. He boiled water for her to wash her hair and wiped her body, and then quickly dried her off to prevent her from catching a cold.
Grandma Su hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
Su He was finally satisfied.
After finally finishing her postpartum confinement, she didn't waste a moment and went straight to the public bathhouse for a thorough scrubbing, feeling like she had washed away two ounces of flesh before coming out.
However, when she got home, she smelled a faint odor of urine in the house and sighed again. Ever since she had the baby, the house had always smelled like this. She hadn't been able to smell it before when she was at home, but now that she was back from outside, it was too obvious.
But there's nothing we can do about it; their child is still too young.
Ugh, I really want to put the baby back in!
However, she only thought about it. After entering the house, she saw Yuan Yuan laughing toothlessly at Grandma Su, and her heart softened.
Her previous complaints vanished instantly. This was her child—so adorable!
...
Su He was overjoyed when the baby turned one month old. She and Lin Jingyan took him to a photo studio to have his picture taken, and of course, Su's grandmother also had a few pictures taken.
Su He also took the opportunity to take several photos herself, not only taking individual photos of the children, but also taking group photos of them.
In short, Grandma Su was especially happy to have her photos taken, and asked several times when the photos would be developed, planning to take a few home.
Su He agreed to all of them.
...
The end of postpartum confinement means it's time to go back to work.
Their original plan was to have Grandma Su come over to help take care of the new mother during her postpartum period, and then go back home after the period was over, and send the baby to a daycare center.
But at this moment, Grandma Su was unwilling. After all, the baby was only a month old, and she was not at ease letting others take care of him.
She even went to inquire about it and found out that there are many children at the daycare center, and one person has to take care of several children. It's definitely not as attentive as at home, so of course she was worried.
So after thinking about it, I decided to stay and wait until the child is older, or at least weaned, before leaving.
That would be even better, but Su He and the others were reluctant to let her suffer.
So Su He thought for a moment and said, "How about you and Mom take turns? If you get tired, you can go back and rest?"
Grandma Su waved her hand and said, "No need, I can take care of it. I took care of your father and his children before, so this one will be easy for me. Don't worry, I'm already familiar with this place. If your mother comes, she probably won't be able to get any food."
Su He thought about it and realized that made sense. Not long after Grandma Su arrived, she became familiar with Aunt Lü and the others in the courtyard.
Workers in the city were allotted a fixed amount of grain each month. At the beginning of the month, everyone would line up to buy it, and sometimes they even had to fight for the fine grains.
Despite her advanced age, Grandma Su is still very healthy and hardworking, and some young people probably can't even keep up with her.
If Su's mother came, she would probably have a hard time even going out.
So Su He eventually gave up on this plan.
"Grandma will have to work hard."
Grandma Su waved her hand, "What's so hard about this? Taking care of my great-grandson isn't tiring at all. I'm just enjoying my life in the city!"
Su He laughed when she heard her say that, but worried that she might not be used to staying here, Su He decided to let Old Man Su stay here with her next time he came.
Anyway, that small room that was partitioned off is enough for two people.
