"Okay, you take care of the child," Aunt Xiumei replied. She was also overwhelmed and couldn't take care of both sides.
Huiping's family couldn't help her, and she had surgery, so she couldn't work in the fields for a while, so she naturally had to worry more.
After coming over to take a look, Aunt Xiumei and Uncle Sheng went out and walked towards Huiping.
"You should go home first. Yaya can't stay at Gaixian all the time. You should take care of her these few days. I will go to Huiping's place during the day and let Junzi take care of her at night. Taohua can live with Chuanzi so you don't have to worry about her," Aunt Xiumei thought while arranging things at home.
"You, I'll go back later. Is there anything else to prepare at home? I'll go buy some later so you can save some trouble." Uncle Sheng asked Aunt Xiumei, thinking that Huiping also needed to replenish her body during this period, so he thought of buying some nutritious food.
"I don't think you can buy anything good at this time. Go back to the village and ask who has old hens. Buy two and send one to Nanqiao. If you have eggs, buy some more," Aunt Xiumei muttered, and Uncle Sheng listened very seriously.
"Then I'll go back and make some more. If there's an order for an old hen, I'll buy one too."
"Okay, bring something for Gaixian when you go. I've been bothering her a lot during this period."
"I know. You don't have to worry about these. I'll leave the bicycle to you. It will be faster for you to ride it back at night. I won't go in and will go back directly."
Aunt Xiumei nodded and waited for Uncle Sheng to leave before entering the ward. Huiping hadn't woken up yet, so Aunt Xiumei sat down beside her and watched the child, waiting for Huiping to wake up.
These days, Aunt Xiumei is watching over Huiping during the day, and Sheng Yanjun is with her at night. There are still a lot of people in Nanqiao's room.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Nanqiao to be discharged from the hospital. Nanzhou asked Wu Wei to borrow a jeep to pick up Nanqiao from the hospital. Ying Xue and Nan's mother each held a child. Sheng Yanchuan wrapped Nanqiao tightly in his arms and left the hospital.
Heading towards home
The confinement period at home officially began. Father Nan and Nan Zhou had gone back because of something at the factory. Mother Nan, Ying Xue, Chen Nian, and Nan Zhou wanted to take care of Nan Qiao for a few more days, so they stayed.
In the past few days, Nanqiao has taken care of everything except feeding the baby. Sheng Yanchuan and his friends have taken care of everything else.
However, since they returned home, the cook that Sheng Yanchuan hired before has returned to work. Sheng Yanchuan gave her some extra money and asked her to do the work of cleaning up the house and preparing lunch boxes for the family. So Nan's mother and the others didn't have much to do except playing with the child and taking care of the child's clothes.
"Qiaoqiao, Mom, I have to go back to Shanghai in the next few days. You and Yanchuan will have to work harder from now on." Nan's mother wanted to stay for a while longer, but she always had work to do in Shanghai, and she also had to deal with work in the Nanzhou Army. She couldn't stay here all the time.
"Don't worry, mom. You see Xiaoran and Xiaoche are usually very well behaved and don't make any noise. Aunt Zhou is here too. There are three of us taking care of two children. There's no problem," Nanqiao said. But what Nanqiao said was also true. Anran and Anche were indeed very well behaved. When they woke up, they smiled at people. When they were hungry, they kept opening their mouths to look for food. They never cried or made a fuss. They were the most angelic babies she had ever seen.
"Okay, I'll take care of my work when I get back, and I'll come to see you when I'm not busy." Nan's mother didn't know how long it would take for her to see him again. As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red again.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm in confinement now. If you do this, what should I do if I cry too?" Nan Qiao didn't know how to comfort Nan's mother, so he could only talk about himself.
"Mom, don't cry. Qiaoqiao can't cry either. The confinement period is the most important for a woman. You must not get sick. You must take good care of yourself when mom is not around. Call home if anything happens." Nan's mother kept reminding her, fearing that Nanqiao would not remember. She even wrote some precautions on paper and gave them to Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan.
In the evening, the family cooked a lot of delicious food to show their appreciation to the Nan family. In the evening, Nan's mother stayed in Nanqiao's room and the two of them talked a lot.
The next morning, Sheng Yanchuan sent the four of them off on the train.
After watching the train start, Sheng Yanchuan turned around and left. He went to the black market and asked Dongzi to buy some old hens, eggs and some nourishing Chinese medicine for the soup.
During the first half month of Nanqiao's confinement, Aunt Xiumei would occasionally come to visit Nanqiao and bring her some things.
But in the second half, Aunt Xiumei seldom came over, because Huiping was discharged from the hospital and returned to the village. Uncle Sheng and Sheng Yanjun both went to work, and only Aunt Xiumei was left to take care of Huiping and Yaya. She was really overwhelmed.
Huiping's son's name is Anguo. He is different from Nanqiao's two children. Huiping loves her son dearly. Whenever he whines, she will hold him in her arms and comfort him. No matter how others persuade her, it is useless.
As time went by, An Guo couldn't be put on the bed at all. He had to be carried and walked around on the ground before he could fall asleep, otherwise he would cry and make a fuss. Since Hui Ping came back, the Sheng family could hear An Guo's heart-wrenching cry almost every night, making the Sheng family restless.
The whole family followed An Guo, and they couldn't sleep well every day. When they woke up early in the morning, they all had a pair of huge dark circles under their eyes.
As time went by, the villagers all knew how difficult it was to take care of the Sheng family's new grandson, but others only gossiped about him. It was someone else's child, and they were willing to spoil him, so others couldn't say anything.
Time flies
For a long time, Nanqiao was immersed in studying, taking care of children, studying Chinese medicine, handling work and visiting relatives.
Over time, Nanqiao became a local celebrity. Even if some families who often read newspapers did not pay attention to the English edition, they knew that there was a local educated youth who could translate and write and married a local man.
