"Everyone has good and bad moods, let alone two people." Doctor Wang patted the nurse's shoulder and went back to the office.
Aunt Xiumei booked an ordinary triple room for Huiping. As for a single room, she didn't even consider it. The cost of a single room is not cheap, and it is not something a family like theirs can afford.
There is only one woman in the ward now, who also had a caesarean section and has been staying there for more than four days.
Seeing Aunt Xiumei coming in first, the woman in labor asked curiously, "Aunt, has your daughter-in-law given birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a boy. My eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to the child," Aunt Xiumei said happily. She had two big fat grandsons and a granddaughter. How could she not be happy?
"That's great. This is my third child, and it's a girl. My mother-in-law scolded me to death. When I get better, I will get pregnant with another one." The woman said with envy in her eyes, and her voice was very bitter.
"In the new society, sons and daughters are all the same. It's fine as long as they are our own children," said Aunt Xiumei. She didn't care much about her sons and daughters, so she couldn't understand why these women risked their lives just to give birth to a boy.
"How can they be the same? Sons are for carrying on the family line, while daughters are just for other families. They can only contribute to the family when they get married and receive the bride price. What else can they do at other times?" The woman looked down on her daughters, but she never realized that her two daughters helped her with most of the housework. It was also the two daughters who secretly saved their own food rations for her when she was beaten by her mother-in-law and was not given food to eat.
Aunt Xiumei really despised this woman's views, so she stopped talking and let her chatter on about everything from her parents' home to her husband's home, from her daughter to her husband.
Following the woman's chatter, Aunt Xiumei settled the child and waited in the ward. Now that no one was watching the child, she couldn't leave.
But after waiting for a while, Sheng Yanjun and Huiping came back together.
The woman was still chattering at first, but seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Huiping, who was lying on the bed, was still drowsy because the anesthetic had not worn off yet, so she lost interest in what she was saying, and the ward gradually became quiet.
After a while, Uncle Sheng came in with Nanzhou, Yingxue, Nanbo, Chen Nian and Sheng Yanchuan.
"How is Huiping?" Uncle Sheng put down his things and asked
"It's nothing serious, I just need to recover slowly afterwards."
"We brought some supplements with us. When Sister Huiping wakes up, take some. It's good for her health." Nanzhou and Nanbo put down the gift boxes in their hands. The table was filled with gifts of all sizes. The woman next to them was jealous. However, she felt familiar with these well-dressed and superior-looking people.
"Look at you, what are you doing with these things? Qiaoqiao just gave birth to a baby, so she needs more supplements." Aunt Xiumei was embarrassed to accept these from the Nan family. She thought the packaging was very expensive.
"Oh, Auntie, don't worry about it," Nanbo waved his hand and went to see the child. It's just that... Huiping's child... probably because the son looks like his mother, he didn't inherit the high nose bridge of the Sheng family. Instead, he looks like Huiping's flat nose. The child's skin is a little red and wrinkled. It's really not good-looking.
So the four people from Nanzhou just exchanged a few polite words. Seeing that Huiping had not woken up yet, they stopped disturbing her and left. When they left the room, they bumped into the mother-in-law of the woman in the next bed. The mother-in-law stared at the four people from Nanzhou with a look of gossip and curiosity.
After seeing the four people off, Sheng Yanchuan sat down and looked at his sleeping nephew. He looked ugly no matter how he looked at him. The baby born by Qiao Qiao would be prettier... Sheng Yanchuan thought to himself.
"Is everything going well with Qiaoqiao?" Aunt Xiumei asked
Sheng Yanchuan didn't even raise his head, thinking about the three girls who were so happy in the ward when he returned just now, Sheng Yanchuan also had a smile on his face, "It's good, she gave birth naturally, so she can walk around slowly, and the baby is also very obedient, not very noisy."
"That's fine. Mom may have to take care of this place more these days. No one from your sister-in-law's family is willing to come and take care of her. Please tell Qiaoqiao on my behalf." Aunt Xiumei's eyes were filled with guilt. They were both son and daughter-in-law. She had been unfair to her son before, and now she couldn't even treat her daughter-in-law fairly.
"It's okay. Qiaoqiao just said that you can just take care of this side," Sheng Yanchuan said nonchalantly. He had adapted to it over the years. Moreover, when Nanqiao was pregnant, he and the aunt they found took care of Nanqiao together. Aunt Xiumei didn't help much except bringing some food occasionally. Naturally, Sheng Yanchuan would not expect Aunt Xiumei to help him take care of Qiaoqiao at this moment.
The Nan family was still here recently, so he gave the aunt a few days off. When the Nan family returned to Shanghai, the aunt would come to cook for them, and he would take care of Nanqiao and the children. That was enough.
Aunt Xiumei felt a little sad when she saw Sheng Yanchuan's nonchalant attitude, but in the final analysis, it was her fault and no one else's.
Sheng Yanchuan stayed there for a short while before returning to Nanqiao.
As soon as Sheng Yanchuan left, the old lady in the next bed couldn't wait to ask, but she couldn't ask in front of the patient because the patient was there, so she just kept listening out of curiosity. As soon as Sheng Yanchuan left, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "Is this your second child?"
Aunt Xiumei nodded when she heard this.
"I've seen many big leaders go to the single ward these past two days. Your second son is also there. Is your daughter-in-law the daughter of some leader?" The old woman thought that although the two sons looked good, they looked like local villagers and definitely didn't know any big leaders. It could only be because of the second daughter-in-law.
