"I like it, thank you husband!"
Pei Yang lowered his head and kissed her in response, "You're welcome, wife."
Although her body had not yet recovered, Shen Mingzhu still let Pei Yang carry her upstairs to see her son's room.
The staircase was also renovated. It used to be a wooden 90-degree corner, but Shen Mingzhu had it removed and replaced with a 180-degree spiral wrought iron staircase, which is both beautiful and retro.
There are three rooms on the second floor, plus a terrace of about ten square meters.
Shen Mingzhu used the room connected to the terrace as a study, and the remaining two rooms were used as bedrooms for Pei Ziheng and Xiao Guoguo respectively.
Time was too tight, and I only had time to decorate Pei Ziheng's bedroom.
Pure white wallpaper, sky blue curtains, and a wooden single bed, desk, and bookcase create a bright and fresh color scheme.
After visiting Pei Ziheng's room, Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Yang to boil some water so that she could wipe her body and wash her hair.
It was such hot weather and she hadn’t washed for several days. The sour smell on her body made even her feel sick.
After finding out, Sister Yu started to advise me again, saying that I couldn’t take a bath or wash my hair during the confinement period, as it would leave me with postpartum diseases.
Shen Mingzhu did not strongly refute, but used modern science to reason with Sister Yu, "Sister Yu, the conditions were poor in the past, the warming measures were not in place, and the water used was not clean, so it was easy to catch a cold and get infected when taking a bath or washing your hair during the confinement period, which left the root of the disease."
"But now it's different. Every household has clean running water. After washing your hair, you can use a hair dryer to dry it immediately. There is also heating to keep it warm, so you won't get a cold and naturally won't suffer from postpartum diseases."
What's more, it is the hottest time of the year now. As long as you don't use a fan, you don't have to worry about catching a cold.
Although Sister Yu had outdated ideas, she was not an old stubborn person who could not be reasoned with. After hearing what Shen Mingzhu said made sense, she stopped objecting.
After the water was boiled, Pei Yang placed a lounge chair in the yard.
Shen Mingzhu was lying on a recliner with a basin of water under her head, and Pei Yang was squatting and washing her hair.
After washing her hair, blowing it dry, wiping her body twice with warm water, and changing into clean and comfortable pajamas, Shen Mingzhu finally felt relaxed.
After helping Shen Mingzhu take care of her personal hygiene, Pei Yang returned to the staff quarters to pack his things and moved the necessary items over first.
When it was not so hot in the evening, Shen Mingzhu asked Sister Yu to move a chair to the yard. She sat there, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard while basking in the sun to supplement calcium.
Dinner was much richer than usual.
Normally, a bunch of relatives and friends should be invited to the first meal after moving into the new house, but the timing was not right, and Shen Mingzhu was in confinement after giving birth, so only Pei Wenping and his wife, Shen Chaobei and his wife, and Zhao Dafa who lived on the same street were invited.
It was Zhao Dafa who arranged to buy this house. During the renovation, Zhao Dafa also helped to get a lot of materials without charging a penny.
Zhao Dafa did come, but he also brought his new girlfriend with him.
It looks like good things are about to happen, so I brought them here to introduce themselves to them.
The woman's name is Zhou Hui. She is a bus conductor, divorced and has a 7-year-old daughter named Liang Xiaowen.
After dinner, Sister Yu helped to clean up the dishes, Shen Mingzhu went back to her room to feed her daughter, and Pei Yang took the others to visit the new house.
Knock knock.
Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Mingzhu turned around and faced the door before calling in.
It was Pei Yang who came in. Seeing that she was still breastfeeding, he closed the door immediately.
"Little Guoguo hasn't eaten yet? My sisters want to see her."
"Wife, it seems to be a lot bigger."
Although they were an old couple, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help blushing when the man squatted in front of her and stared at her with fiery eyes while feeding her.
"Hey, you go out first. I'll carry Guoguo out after I finish feeding her."
Pei Yang didn't listen to her. Instead, he sat on the bed and asked her with a gentle and caring tone, "Does the wound still hurt?"
Shen Mingzhu shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"What's wrong?"
"It feels like you've changed a little."
"What has changed?"
Shen Mingzhu asked this, but she was worried in her heart.
People say that women look older after giving birth. Could it be that she already looks older?
But looking at the daughter in her arms, whom she had fought hard to give birth to, she felt that it didn't matter anymore.
“It’s getting better looking.”
Although I know the man is just talking smooth talk, I still feel quite happy about it.
"Honey, you've worked so hard during this period. Outside the delivery room that day, I was so scared that something might happen to you. Fortunately, you and Guoguo are both safe. I don't want to go through this again in my life."
At this moment, she could feel the man's weakness and softness, which was completely different from his usual calmness.

She couldn't help but gently lean her head on his broad shoulders. "I'm not the only one who's working hard. You've worked hard too. You've been responsible for everything at home and outside, and you've also had to take care of me and Xiao Guoguo at night. Whether as a husband or a father, you've been very competent. Although I haven't had a good night's sleep during this period, I feel very happy and satisfied."
Pei Yang held her thin shoulders and bent down to kiss the top of her head. "Me too, every time I think of you guys I feel full of energy, as if I have endless energy and I don't feel tired at all."
"Thank you, my dear. Thank you for making our family more perfect."
After letting Pei Yang carry the full-fed Guoguo out, Shen Mingzhu stood up and walked to the dressing mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror with lively eyebrows and light in her eyes, a smile broke out on her lips.
She used to think that happiness was to live a happy and joyful life.
But now she feels that happiness is a family of four, three meals a day and four seasons.
…
Ever since she learned that Shen Mingzhu had given birth to a daughter, Shen Baolan has been waiting at the gate of the family compound every day, waiting for Shen Mingzhu to come back and make a fool of herself.
I waited and waited for several days, but there was no sign of Shen Mingzhu.
She simply ran to the health center with her bulging belly.
But when I went to the health center to ask, I found out that Shen Mingzhu had been discharged two days ago.
She had been waiting at the gate of the family compound the day before yesterday, but she didn't see Shen Mingzhu go back. Could it be that she was afraid of being laughed at because she had given birth to Nizi, so she went back quietly at night when everyone was asleep? Thinking of this possibility, Shen Baolan almost smiled to her heart's content.
She ran back to the family compound without stopping and went up to the fourth floor panting.
After knocking for a long time, Pei's door didn't open. Instead, the neighbor upstairs heard the noise and looked down.
Seeing that it was Shen Baolan, the other party immediately said unhappily: "Stop knocking, there's no one at home."
Shen Baolan didn't believe it, so she knocked on the door for a long time. No one opened the door, so she went back home feeling puzzled.
After returning to Zhou's house, Shen Baolan told Ma Sufen about this, and Ma Sufen was also puzzled.
I just gave birth to a baby, so I have to stay in confinement for a period of time. Where else can I go if not home?
"Did he go back to the countryside?"
Both my parents-in-law are gone, and there is no one to take care of me during the confinement period. It seems reasonable to go back to my parents' home and let my mother take care of me during the confinement period. In the evening, after Zhou Shuheng returned home, Shen Baolan asked about this casually, "Did Pei Yang send Shen Mingzhu back to the countryside to recuperate after the confinement period? Why is there no one at home?"
"Brother Yang bought a new house and has already moved in."
These words stunned the Zhou family, especially Shen Baolan, who was so shocked that she dropped her bowl.
I don’t know if you like this kind of warm daily life. I originally designed some “oddities” and conflicts, but deleted them in the end because I was always criticized for writing too many weird things, and I was speechless.
