He Ruixue opened the door of the ward and said, "Lü Lan, you're awake now. How are you feeling? If you feel unwell, tell the doctor.
By the way, I bought a can of milk powder and two glass bottles for this little guy. I left them at home. You’ll see them when you go back later.”
"It's okay, aunt. Milk powder is a rare thing. I've never seen it before. You're really wasting money. Actually, I'm in good health and my milk supply should be enough. Why do I need this stuff?"
"It's okay. Just keep it here for safekeeping. If something happens to you someday, do you really want to let him starve?"
"That's right, thank you, aunt."
As long as it is good for her child, Lu Lan is happy to do it no matter how much favor she feels she owes her. At worst, she can pay it back slowly in the future.
My aunt is not short of money, but just like grandma said, she doesn't like to clean up and never does housework. There will be many places where she can be used in the future.
When she was a girl, she was a good hand at taking care of things at home and outside. She kept the rooms tidy and could also get up early and go out to do odd jobs to earn money.
After getting married, she has been resting all the time to take care of her belly. It is a shame to say that she has been taking care of the pregnancy since she got married. She has been eating and drinking well for more than nine months. She has gained a lot of benefits, but her contribution is pitifully small.
In her eyes, she felt that she had let the He family down.
Now that she has a son, Lu Lan finally feels a little more confident and feels that she has truly integrated into this family.
"It's just a small matter. I just talked a little. Now that you have a child, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to go to work. Do you want me to postpone it for you..."
"No need. Work matters are already very troublesome to me. If I keep putting it off, my boss will be dissatisfied."
Making money is the serious thing. She has already agreed with her mother-in-law that she will go back to work after she is done with the confinement period.
Wang Taozhi took the child to the nursery and kept him by her side. She brought the child back after get off work and took care of the child overnight.
As for milk, she feeds the baby once in the morning when she goes out and once when she comes back at noon. She squeezes out the milk for the morning and afternoon meals in advance so that she can drink it after warming it up. The milk bottle bought by my aunt comes in handy.
(Summers in the 1960s were not as hot as they are now. The temperature in a cool place was over 20 degrees Celsius. If milk was sealed and stored for less than 4 hours, it would not spoil.)
As she spoke, she felt a little embarrassed, but also a little moved. "Auntie, you are an unmarried girl and you still have to worry about all this. I really..."
He Ruixue tilted her head and teased the person next to her, "I'm just rehearsing in advance so I won't be too panicked when Xiaojie gives birth."
"Aunt, you only talk about me, what about yourself?"
"I'm not in a hurry."
He Ruixue laughed it off. The sound she heard outside the delivery room today was scary enough. At least she would not try it unless the system gave her a [Painless Card].
Moreover, the reactions and sequelae of pregnancy are troublesome. Her career is still on the rise. She cannot travel for several months while pregnant, and the network of contacts she maintained before is about to fade.
Nothing can stop her from climbing up.
"By the way, Lu Lan, our high school classmates are planning to get together tomorrow. I can help you and Xiao Tuan ask about work matters."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
He Xiaotuan was also excited. When he first learned that he was going to be transferred, he was so excited that he skipped work for several days, thinking only about what he would do in the new unit.
After being scolded by his father, he calmed down and made up his mind to improve his skills, otherwise no matter how good the platform was, it would not allow an incompetent person to stand on it.
Half a month had passed and there had been no news from his aunt. He believed in her ability, but was worried that problems would arise during the construction of the factory, which would extend the construction period and add unnecessary variables to his work.
For that little idea, he didn't go anywhere for several weekends. Whenever he had free time, he would run to the glass factory, like a half-supervisor. Of course, he was not idle either. He helped carry ash buckets and bricks, and occasionally was responsible for the installation of wires.
It is a common practice for many of the factory's prospective employees to participate in the construction of the factory. During his time helping out, He Xiaotian got to know many future co-workers.
Originally he just wanted better treatment, but after personally participating in the construction of the glass factory brick by brick, he developed a different feeling for this place.
The equipment in front of him was already in place, and the warehouse and office building in the back were also beginning to be completed. He was looking forward to it more and more, even to the point of being anxious.
He was not worried about himself, but more about whether Lu Lan could go to work with him. Now that he heard from his aunt that good things were about to happen, he hugged his son and felt that this was the peak of his life.
His family and career are both successful. Even if he were to die immediately - bah, bah, bah, it would be unlucky, his good days are still ahead.
There are not many people in the hospital beds, and generally, one cannot stay here for too long unless the illness is particularly serious. It was already the limit for Lu Lan to lie here for half a day while giving birth. Staying here any longer was not only expensive but also required an application, which was difficult to get without connections.
That's why she calmed down a little. The patrolling nurse had already started to remind her. He Xiaotuan carried her onto the trailer, put a quilt under her and on her body, and Lu Lan held the child in her arms. They arrived home in a short while.
The He family had a new baby, so everyone in the yard had to come out to congratulate them.
"Lv Lan gave birth. I heard it's a son. What a blessing."
"It's just that the month isn't very good. The weather is too hot. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sit during the confinement period."
"There's no such a perfect time. Just endure it and it will pass. Wang Taozhi treats his daughter-in-law very well. He lets her sit for a full month. Usually she only rests for half a month."
"Of course. Ever since she got pregnant, she hasn't been asked to do any heavy work. She wasn't very self-disciplined at first, but she had good taste. Wouldn't marrying into a family be better than living in her parents' home and enjoying a better life? Sun Laiyi is similar to her, but the result is..."
