Pei Ji'an coughed lightly. The old lady was very experienced and said before Pei Ji'an could say anything: "I will take Xiao Huai to help Xiao Zheng pack up his things. You guys hurry up. If Xia Xia can't suck it out, auntie can help. There is nothing to be embarrassed about between husband and wife."
After saying this, Mother Wu picked up Xiao Huai and left in a hurry.
Leaving behind was a dumbfounded Lu Nong, the whimpering little baby, and the baby's father who didn't look too embarrassed.
Lu Nong was really impressed by Pei Ji'an. After his godmother left, even the last bit of embarrassment disappeared, and he looked at Lu Nong leisurely.
“…”
Lu Nong turned over, unbuttoned his clothes with his back to Pei Jinan, and Pei Xia started sucking hard. As the saying goes, even the strength of a breastfeeding baby was used. It can be seen that the strength of a breastfeeding baby is indeed very strong. However, Lu Nong felt a little pain from the bite, and Pei Xia couldn't suck anything out after sucking for a long time.
Just as my godmother said, I need Pei Jinan’s help.
Lu Nong turned his body, tugged at Pei Ji'an's sleeve beside the bed, and said pitifully: "I'm hungry, and Xia Xia is hungry too."
Pei Jinan smiled softly, his voice low and pleasant. He stood up, took the lunch box on the table and handed it to Lu Nong, then went to make milk powder for Pei Xia. During the two days that Lu Nong had been comatose, Pei Xia had been drinking milk powder.
Lu Nong rinsed his mouth with the hot water in the room, then opened his lunch box and prepared to eat.
The patient meals in the hospital consist of two dishes and one soup. The two dishes are stir-fried cabbage with meat and stir-fried leeks with eggs, the soup is spinach soup, plus two white flour steamed buns.
According to the living standards at that time, the hospital meals were quite affordable. Although there was no meat or salt in the stir-fried cabbage with meat, and no leek in the stir-fried leek with eggs, the two big white flour steamed buns were soft and sweet. Lu Nong, who had not eaten for two days, finished a whole steamed bun with the tasteless vegetables.
While Lu Nong was eating, Pei Jinan was not idle. He held Pei Xia in his arms, fed her milk, and coaxed her to sleep. His series of actions were very realistic, which made Lu Nong marvel at them.
After the adults and children had finished eating, Pei Ji'an put the sleeping Pei Xia back next to Lu Nong and poured a cup of hot water for Lu Nong, "Drink some water."
After finishing his meal, Lu Nong felt like he was alive again and wanted to go home and take a shower. He asked Pei Ji'an, "When are we going home? I stink."
Pei Ji'an said, "Don't worry, you just woke up. Wait for the doctor to come and check if there is nothing wrong. We can go home tomorrow."
Not long after, Pei Zheng packed up his things and came back with Wu Ma, carrying Xiao Huai. Xiao Huai ran to the bedside to see his sister as soon as he got off the bed. He was too short to reach the bed, so he turned around and pulled his brother, "Sister, sister."
Pei Zheng was jealous, "Slow down, what's so good about that ugly little monkey?"
"Haha," Lu Nong smiled coldly after hearing Pei Zheng's words, "Pei Xiaozheng, who are you calling ugly?"
Pei Jinan kicked Pei Zheng lightly from behind, "Stop talking so much nonsense."
It’s over, it’s over, Pei Zheng shouted in his heart. This little monkey has just been born and the old man’s heart is biased. By the time she can speak and fight for favor, will there still be a place for the two brothers in the Pei family?
Pei Zheng sighed, picked up Xiao Huai, and lifted him to the bedside, "See, from now on, you are no longer the youngest or second oldest in our family. You are no longer precious."
Lu Nong: “…”
"What are you mumbling about?" Lu Nong glared at Pei Zheng. "I'm warning you, don't say the word ugly to your sister again, and don't say weird things to Xiao Huai. It will only ruin the harmony of the family. Otherwise... hehe."
Pei Zheng was still jealous of the little monkey, and said in a sly tone, "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, the third child is the most beautiful. The third child is the most beautiful in our family. The second child and I can't compare to her, okay?"
"Hey, you're still trying hard. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Lu Nong raised his hand to threaten Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng looked at Lu Nong's hand, stretched out his own hand to gesture, and said sincerely: "I really don't believe this."
Lu Nong choked. She would suffer the loss while her health was reduced. When she was fully recovered and revived, she would make this brat beg for mercy.
"Then look at me, am I qualified enough for you to trust me?" Pei Ji'an's low voice sounded behind Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng: “…”
This life is unbearable! In the past, when he and Lu Nong quarreled, Lao Pei never intervened. After the little monkey came, Lao Pei even changed his principles.
He favors the young lady, who is a treasure, but she is ugly. His eldest and second sons have become weeds. Pei Zheng is biting his fingers in his heart.
No matter how much drama was in Pei Zheng's mind, Xiao Huai couldn't stop staring at her sister, and it was enough for Pei Zheng to drink a pot of vinegar.
The next day, after the doctor checked Lu Nong and found nothing wrong, the family packed up and went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Nong was about to run to the bathroom, but Wu's mother quickly stopped him, "What are you doing?"
Lu Nong: "Take a shower. Don't block me. I'm so dirty."
"You kid," Wu's mother said in disapproval, "how can you take a bath during the confinement period? Be obedient and wait until the confinement period is over before taking a bath. And, I haven't said anything about you yet, has Xia Xia not had breast milk yet?"
Lu Nong: “…”
"Well, you've eaten, but it's still blocked. You should at least try. Don't be disobedient. If you don't want me to help you, I'll have to do it myself. It's your choice."
Mother Wu spread her hands, and Lu Nong's scalp went numb. If the old lady really came to help her with milk secretion in person, it would be like his mother opening the door to embarrassment, extremely embarrassing.
"I understand. I'll get it tonight. Please let me go." Lu Nong covered his head in despair.
At this time, Pei Zheng walked into the door reluctantly with his sister in his arms, like a wronged person, followed by Xiao Huai.
Pei Jinan returned to the troops.
When Mother Wu saw the way Pei Zheng was holding the child, she frowned and said, "Oh, Xiao Zheng, the way you hold your sister is wrong. It's uncomfortable to hold your sister like this. You should hold her like this. Yes, this is the right way. Hurry up and send your sister upstairs."
Pei Zheng: “…”
"What are you doing here? You should go back to the house as well." Mother Wu turned around and waved to Lu Nong.
Good job, the arrangements are very clear.
In the evening, Pei Ji'an returned home. Lu Nong coaxed his sister to sleep and waved to Pei Ji'an. When Pei Ji'an came over, Lu Nong leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I want to take a shower, but my mother won't let me. Help me."
Pei Ji'an's Adam's apple rolled, and he whispered in the same voice: "Why won't mother let me?"
Lu Nong put her hands on her hips and said, "You should have said yes, I'll help you, instead of asking questions."
"Is that so?" Pei Jinan looked at Lu Nong with a smile on his face.
Lu Nong nodded heavily, "That's right."
"Okay then." Pei Ji agreed.
Lu Nong secretly opened the door like a thief, looked around, and saw that no one was in the bathroom. He bent over and waved to Pei Ji'an behind him, "It's safe, you stay here, I'm going to take a shower."
Pei Ji'an touched Lu Nong's head and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Nong made a "tsk" sound, unhappy, "Don't touch my head, it's greasy."
After saying that, he slipped into the bathroom and started running the water to take a shower.
Lu Nong knew that Wu's mother didn't let her take a bath because she was afraid that she would catch a cold, but if she didn't take a bath in the hot summer, she would really feel depressed.
Can I just close the windows, let the steam fill the air, and wait for the temperature to rise before taking a shower?
After taking a comfortable shower, there was a knock on the bathroom door. "Hey, Nong Nong, are you done showering? Come out, the water is getting cold."
Lu Nong wrapped her hair and opened the door. "I'm done washing. What happened? Did mom not notice?"
"What do you think?" Mother Wu's voice came from the other side.
Lu Nong: “…”
Lu Nong smiled flatteringly, "Fuck, listen to me, I just think Qi is too sloppy. Don't worry, I'm not cold, I'm fine."
Mother Wu ignored her and turned to Pei Ji'an and said, "Aunt, Nongnong is ignorant. Why are you fooling around with her? A woman's confinement period affects her whole life. If she is not well taken care of, she will suffer when she is old, especially she will not be able to take a bath or wash her hair."
Pei Ji'an was rarely wronged, so he glanced at the snickering Lu Nong, touched his nose and said, "What you taught me is that this time it was my fault, there won't be a next time."
Mother Wu stopped when she saw that she had made progress, and turned to Lu Nong and said, "Ancestor! What are you still doing here? Go back to your room and dry your hair before you go to sleep, understand?"
"Oh, I got it." Lu Nong walked out of the bathroom and ran back to the bedroom. Pei Jinan nodded to Mother Wu, took out a towel from the bathroom, and then went into the bedroom.
Mother Wu was left shaking her head, "You are so troublesome every day. You don't listen to the old people and you are suffering now."
Without having time to wipe his wet hair, Lu Nong turned around and wanted to go to the bathroom to get a clean towel, when he saw Pei Ji'an walking in with a towel in his hand.
Lu Nong reached out to take the towel, but Pei Ji'an didn't give it to her. He took her hand to the bed, sat behind her, and gently wiped her hair.
Not to mention, it was quite comfortable. Lu Nong released all the strength from her body, and limply lay there, relying on Pei Jinan for support. The water droplets on her hair fell on Pei Jinan's clothes, making him wet, but she still looked content.
After rubbing for about twenty minutes, Lu Nong felt drowsy. When Pei Ji'an said "OK", Lu Nong fell asleep immediately. After sleeping for just three minutes, Wu Ma's words in the morning suddenly appeared in her mind, "If you don't want your aunt to help you, then I have to do it myself..."
Lu Nong was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed.
Pei Ji'an: "...What's wrong? Aren't you sleepy?"
“…”
Lu Nong looked miserable and said vaguely, "Help me...×××."
"What?" Pei Jinan didn't hear clearly despite his excellent hearing, so he asked again.
"I said," Lu Nong took a deep breath, "help me... to ...
Pei Ji'an still didn't hear the last word clearly, but he already understood.
"Okay." His voice was a little dry.
The old pervert came online, and the next day Pei Xiaoxia had breast milk to drink. Pei Jianan returned to his abstinence nature and went out to work. Lu Nong no longer had to be nagged by Mother Wu, and Mother Wu finally stopped worrying about her little girl having no milk to drink.
Everyone has a bright future and everyone is happy.
The unhappiest person in the family is Pei Zheng, because Pei Jian knows that Pei Zheng dislikes Pei Xia and orders him to change and wash Pei Xia's diapers every day after school.
After Pei Zheng came back, Lu Nong usually went downstairs to help Mother Wu with work or do yoga to regain her figure.
That day, Pei Zheng brought several of his brothers to see Pei Xia, and Pei Xia warmly welcomed his brother by pooping.
Pei Zheng wished he didn't have a nose. While changing the diaper, he said to Xiao Huai beside him, "I can't do it anymore, second brother. If you were so smelly when you were a child, I wouldn't have liked you so much."
Shen Jiming looked at Xia Zi's face carefully, and after changing her diaper, he held her in his arms, his tone was gentler than ever before: "Xiao Xia is not ugly at all, she just hasn't grown up yet."
Pei Zheng rolled his eyes. "Another person who was fooled by a little thing. I think we shouldn't call her a little monkey. We should call her Little Daji."
"Come on, don't take advantage of her. Xiao Xia is so well-behaved. Look, she always smiles at you. She didn't cry even when you treated her so rudely. You should be happy to have a sister like her." Zhang Kaiping threw an apple to Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng took the apple but didn't eat it. Instead, he asked, "Really?"
Zhang Kaiping: "It couldn't be more true. My brothers and sisters cried more than anyone else when they were little."
Pei Zheng was amused. He snatched Xiao Xia from Shen Jiming's arms, exchanged glances with her, and said after a moment, "Tsk, no, it's still ugly."
Shen Jiming/Zhang Kaiping/Jiang Yu: "..."
Lu Nong's confinement period passed quickly, which also meant that the family's trip south was approaching.
Pei Zheng had been changing Pei Xia's diapers for more than a month. He felt that he smelled like poop and said, "Humph, finally I don't have to change little Daji's diapers anymore."
As a result, this guy secretly took "Little Daji" back to his room to sleep that night, and also called his son to come with him, saying that he wanted to hold a farewell meeting between brother and sister.
Three days before departure, Lu Nong packed all the necessary things. They didn't know when they would be back, so he had to take at least most of his belongings with him, if not all of them.
Fortunately, we were riding in a military vehicle this time, so we could pack and take away as much luggage as possible.
On the day of departure, Pei Zheng held Xia Xia tightly in his arms and discussed with Lu Nong: "Sister Nongnong, why don't you leave Xiao Huai and Xia Xia at home? I'll take care of them for you. It's not appropriate for them to travel long distances with you, right?"
Lu Nong: “…”
Pei Ji'an couldn't stand Pei Zheng's sloppy nature. After kicking Pei Zheng's lower back in the hospital, he reached out and took Xiao Xiazi from his arms and kicked him again, "What are you sloppy about? Study hard and don't cause trouble. I'll send someone to pick you up during the New Year. Do you understand?"
Pei Ji'an was shouting, so Pei Zheng had no choice but to stand at attention and said loudly: "Yes, I promise to complete the task."
Xiao Huai couldn't bear to leave his brother, so he held on to his brother's trouser legs and refused to let go. Mother Wu cruelly carried him into the car and closed the door to prevent him from getting out.
The family members got into the car one by one, and the car drove away, leaving Pei Zheng standing there alone for a long time.
