Chapter 108
"Hai Ci is here." Lin's mother stood up quickly, "Why are you here? Where's your father?"
"Dad is parking his bike. I came to bring dinner to mom and grandma first." Lu Hai Ci said, handing the bag to Lin's mother, "Grandma, it's fish porridge. Dad bought fish and meat. It's delicious."
When Lin's mother heard it, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. The son-in-law remembered his words and bought fish and meat for her daughter. She was happy for her daughter. "Then did you eat?" She asked while waking up Lin Qingqing, "My daughter, wake up, eat..."
The old lady next to her was watching and thought that what Lin's mother said about her daughter's in-laws being good to her daughter might be true, because her daughter had a son before. This woman, her back is straightened after having a son.
"Dad and I have eaten." Lu Haici said as he came to the bedside, "Mom, are you tired?"
Lin shook her head gently: "I am tired, but for your sister, it is worth it. Just like now, seeing Haici coming, Mom is not tired anymore."
When Lu Haici heard this, his heart and eyes were full of smiles again. "Mom, Dad said that my sister has no hair and can't wear a hair tie. Can I see my sister's head?" He wanted to see what his sister's head looked like without hair.
Lin Qingqing couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Of course you can see it, it's not that your sister has no hair, but that she doesn't have much hair. But your mother and I have a lot of hair, and your father also has a lot of hair, so your sister must have a lot of hair, don't worry." As he said, he lifted a corner of the swaddling cloth: "Look, is there hair?"
Lu Haici looked carefully, and the sister's hair was attached to her head, but it was very black. "Yes, there is hair." At this time, Lu Haici had forgotten that his father didn't say that his sister had no hair, but that his sister had less hair. "Mom, my sister's face is all flesh." As he said this, he gently touched it with his hand, and because he was afraid of hurting his sister, he was very careful. But after just a touch, he immediately retracted it. "Mom, my sister's hands are so soft."
Lin smiled softly, took a sip of porridge and said, "Every baby is soft when it is born, and so are you. But babies have poor resistance, so if you want to touch a baby, you must wash your hands thoroughly." Her voice was relatively gentle, the same tone as usual.
Lu Haici nodded: "Yeah, I will wash my hands thoroughly." Lu Haici would not think too much, because their mother would ask them to wash their hands thoroughly when they ate. "I also asked Ji Yang and the others to wash their hands thoroughly, because they will definitely come to see their sister."
Lin praised softly: "Our Haici is such a good brother."
"Hehe..." Lu Haici smiled foolishly while looking down at his little sister. The little girl had a rosy face and fair skin. She was the prettiest little girl he had ever seen. Although Lu Haici had not seen many little girls, he had seen Enen from his uncle's family, and he thought the little girl was prettier than Enen.
"This porridge smells good." Mother Lin was also drinking it and thought it was really well cooked.
"This was cooked by Haici." Lu Cheng just heard this sentence when he arrived at the door and said. "I went to buy fish and came home late, luckily he had already cooked the porridge."
After hearing what his father said, Lu Haici said, "This is what Aunt Qin taught me. When I returned to the family compound, everyone said that my mother went to the hospital to give birth to her younger brother and sister, so I asked Aunt Qin how to cook for my mother, and Aunt Qin taught me."
Lin said lightly, "Thank you, son."
Lu Cheng: "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin shook his head lightly: "Except for being a little tired, there is nothing else."
Lin's mother: "You will be discharged from the hospital in two days. Take good care of yourself during the confinement period, and your body will recover."
Lu Cheng listened carefully: "Then what should I prepare tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." Lin's mother and Lu Cheng started discussing food.
The old lady next to them looked at the family with some envy. No wonder this family didn't look like a country family. It turned out that the husband of the woman in labor was a soldier. And from what they said, it was clear that the family was very harmonious.
After Lin Qingqing and her mother finished dinner, Lu Cheng took Lu Haici back home.
As soon as Lu Cheng left, the old lady next door became lively again: "Sister-in-law, is your son-in-law a soldier?"
Lin's mother said: "Yes, I have a good eye."
The old lady said: "No, we have troops here, and I have seen soldiers on weekdays. Your son-in-law's figure is obviously a soldier. Sister-in-law, your daughter can come to join the army, which shows that your son-in-law has a high military career. Your daughter is blessed. She is young and has both a son and a daughter. Her parents' family is good, her husband's family is also good, and her son seems so filial."
Lin's mother liked to hear people praise her, and the praise was still facts. "That's right, my son-in-law is really good, and my eldest grandson is also filial."
"So it is very important to find a good man. Take my daughter for example, she didn't judge the man clearly before marriage, but now
she is good..." "Mom..., stop talking." The old lady's daughter frowned and interrupted the old lady, "Do you think I'm not embarrassed enough? Do you have to tell everyone in the hospital about this?"
"No, I feel sorry for you." The old lady said, "Think about it, our family conditions are not bad, and you have been spoiled by us since you were a child, but now? You have to do all kinds of work, and there is no one to take care of you after giving birth. What should I do during the confinement period?"
"I don't need you to worry about it." The woman in labor said with a cold face. She also knew that she was blind, but was her mother shouting about this matter for her own good?
"What are you talking about, kid? If I don't care about you, who else will care about you?" The old lady was really angry, "Is it your husband? Or your mother-in-law?"
"Even if no one cares about me, I don't want you to care about me. How can other mothers tell others about their daughter's ugly deeds? But what about you? You think that not enough people know about it, right? Mom, I beg you, I'm already annoyed enough, can you please stop bothering me? I am very grateful that you come to take care of me, but sometimes I think that I would rather you not come to take care of me, so that I can feel more relaxed." The eyes of the woman in labor were red, and her voice was hoarse and choked.
"You...you..." The old lady stood up suddenly, "Then I will do as you wish and ignore you." Then she walked out angrily.
The woman in labor also ignored the old lady and looked out the window.
Mother Lin looked at them, still a little unresponsive. Why did the mother and daughter start quarreling for no reason? But thinking about it carefully, what the woman in labor said made sense. The old lady talked about her daughter's affairs everywhere, and her daughter must be unhappy. If it were me, I would not have enough time to cover up the family shame, let alone tell others.
Mother Lin shook her head and looked at her daughter again: "I don't know what my son-in-law will bring for lunch tomorrow?"
Lin said softly: "His cooking skills can only cook meals, so don't expect too much. For today, fish porridge is good enough."
Mother Lin laughed and scolded: "You are picky, I don't know who you inherited this from. Your father and I are not particular about food. If you want to talk about our family's particularity... your grandfather is the most particular."
Grandpa Lin was born into a rich family. He was the young master of a wealthy family during the Republic of China, so he was naturally particular about things. However, because he was a doctor, he could let go of things the most, unlike the other young masters who would not let go of their status if there was a big difference between their status before and after the Republic of China.
Lin smiled lightly and did not continue the topic: "Mom, you sweated a lot in the delivery room. Can you pour me some hot water to wipe my body?"
"Okay." Mother Lin went to prepare immediately. They brought a hot water bottle, a washbasin and a towel, so Mother Lin used the water from the hot water bottle to wipe her body.
The woman in labor next door was actually very envious when she heard what they were doing. Her mother was very good to her, and she was grateful, but when her mother talked to her, she couldn't help but lecture her and say that she had bad eyesight. So every time she talked to her mother, she would feel tired, and the mother and daughter would quarrel after just a few words.
The next day
Lin Qingqing slept until dawn, and she woke up when she heard Lu Cheng coming to deliver breakfast. "Why did you come so early?"
Not only did he come early, Lu Cheng had dark circles under his eyes, and he hadn't slept all night. There was no way, he couldn't sleep. So he got up to cook porridge as soon as the sky was slightly bright. But he didn't say: "I'm afraid you and mother will be hungry." As he said that, he squeezed toothpaste for Lin Qingqing and poured water: "You wash up first." "
Hey." Lin Qingqing brushed her teeth immediately.
Lin's mother opened the breakfast brought by her son-in-law. In addition to yesterday's fish porridge, there were also two boiled eggs and four meat buns. "Lu Cheng, did you bring so much? Are there meat buns in the cafeteria today?"
Lin Qingqing brushed her teeth, rinsed her mouth, and continued her mother's words: "How can it be such a coincidence? The meat buns must have been bought from the state-owned hotel."
Lu Cheng said: "It was bought from the state-owned hotel. I thought it was hard for mother to take care of Qingqing, so she should eat something good."
"It's not hard. Your daughter is very well-behaved. She doesn't make trouble at night. She is also easy to handle when feeding. She is not as naughty as your wife when she was a child." Lin's mother said.
Lin Qingqing didn't listen to this. She didn't know what she was like when she was a child. However, "Mom, when did you feed the baby? Why don't I remember?"
Lin's mother said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up and fed her with milk powder."
Modern people who want to breastfeed their children may not let their children drink milk powder at the beginning, but Lin's mother doesn't care about this. In this era, milk powder is a nutrient that can replenish the body. Whether the child can drink milk powder depends on whether the parents have the ability to get it. Lin's mother felt sorry for her daughter and was reluctant to wake her daughter up. In addition, there was milk powder, so she naturally fed her granddaughter with milk powder.
"Thank you, mother." Lin Qingqing didn't think feeding milk powder was bad.
"You're welcome." Mother Lin took a sip of porridge and a bite of a meat bun. Seeing her son-in-law staring at her granddaughter, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to hold her? Wrap her in a small quilt to prevent her from catching a cold."
Lu Cheng shook his head quickly, "No, no." He didn't dare to hold her. He went back to see Hai Ci after she was born. She was also very small. He held her at that time, but he would never forget the feeling of tension that made his hands and feet feel tense. So this time, he didn't want to hold her.
Mother Lin looked at him, put down the food, came to the bed, picked up the baby on the bed, wrapped it in a thin quilt, and then stuffed it into Lu Cheng's arms: "If you want to hold her, just say so. You'll get familiar with this child if you hold her more."
As soon as the child was stuffed into Lu Cheng's arms, Lu Cheng didn't dare to move his hands. However, there was a strong charm in the child, which attracted him and made him reluctant to let go. He held his hands stiffly and looked at his wife and mother-in-law who were having breakfast. They ignored him, so he could only continue to hold the baby.
He moved his hands slowly, and looking at the baby's quiet sleeping posture, he couldn't help but lower his head and slowly approached his daughter's face. Smelling the milk fragrance on her body, his kiss fell lightly on her face, but then, as if he had been electrocuted, he returned to normal. He immediately looked to the side, and met his wife's half-smile eyes. Suddenly, Lu Cheng's face turned red.
Puff... Lin laughed softly: "Captain Lu, you are too timid."
Lu Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing. To borrow the words of modern people, as long as I don't feel embarrassed, then others are embarrassed.
Lin's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter: "You are just a bit arrogant."
Lin smiled gently at her mother: "Just like me, otherwise how could I be your child?" In the past six months, she has experienced the true maternal love from Lin's mother. Although this maternal love cannot replace her desire for maternal love when she was a child, it also makes her feel very moved. Therefore, she also regards Lin's mother as her mother. The mother and daughter usually talk casually and tease each other.
Lin's mother smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close: "You are the only one who can talk."
Lu Cheng left soon, he had to go to work.
After Lu Cheng went to work, Lin's mother began to wipe the baby's body. The baby was just born yesterday, and her body has not been wiped. Let the baby adapt to the outside. Although it is morning now, the temperature is suitable. Besides, if the baby is wiped in the quilt, she will not be frozen.
The mother and daughter worked together. Mother Lin wiped the baby's body, and Lin gently pulled the quilt to prevent the baby from catching a cold. After the baby's body was wiped, she no longer used the swaddling clothes, but put on the clothes prepared by her family.
Although the clothes were made of the material that Lin had worn gently, they were clean and embroidered with a few small yellow flowers, which was very fashionable.
Commune Primary School
"Ji Yang, are you okay? I'm going to the hospital." Lu Haici looked at the door and wanted to run out immediately. They agreed this morning to go to the hospital to see his sister at noon, but at noon, Ji Yang had diarrhea. Lu Haici was a little disgusted, "Ji Yang, you'd better not go. You are smelly now, and you will make my sister cry."
"That's right." Qin Ming echoed, "I can smell the stench, let alone my sister? So let's go, don't worry about Ji Yang."
Lu Haici nodded: "Then Ji Yang, let's go."
Ji Yang shouted in the toilet: "Wait for me, you wait for me..."
When Ji Yang quickly went to the toilet and came out, Lu Haici and Qin Ming were no longer there.
Although Lu Haici and Qin Ming are young, they will only be in the third grade of elementary school in September this year, but they still know the way from the commune elementary school to the county hospital, and Lu Haici has accompanied Lin Qingqing to several prenatal checkups.
Lu Haici and Qin Ming ran all the way to the hospital, which took about forty minutes. When they arrived at the hospital, they were both furious. When they arrived at the door of the ward, they saw many familiar people inside, including military wives from the family compound, and Lin Yiyang's wife Wang Qiuyue, which stunned Lu Haici and Qin Ming.
"Haici, why are you here? Don't you have to go to school in the afternoon?" One of the military wives saw Lu Haici.
Hearing her voice, everyone looked towards the door and saw Lu Haici holding his schoolbag and panting, with Qin Ming beside him.
Lu Haici said, "I have to go to school. I came to see my sister." He walked into the ward and tiptoed to Wang Qiuyue's side, because she was holding the baby.
Qin Ming followed him in: "Where is my sister? I came to see my sister too."
"Look at how happy you are. You weren't so happy even when your mother gave birth to a younger brother." Zhang Hongping said.
Qin Ming didn't see his grandmother just now, but now he found that his grandmother was here too. "What's so good about a boy? We are all boys, and only sisters are good-looking. Lu Haici said that his sister is very pretty, the prettiest sister in the whole family compound, so I wanted to come and see. I have already let Lu Haici's sister be my sister."
Qin is a promising boy, and he has learned the tricks of being a sister in the future.
"Then you must love your sister well in the future, and don't bully your sister like you bully your brother." Zhang Hongping joked.
"Of course, whoever bullies my sister, I will definitely beat him." Qin Ming said as a matter of course.
Wang Qiuyue was sitting on the bed holding the baby. Seeing Lu Haici and Qin Ming surrounding her to look at the child, she smiled and asked, "Is the little sister pretty?"
"Pretty." Lu Haici answered without hesitation. Qin Ming
was silent.
"What's wrong? The little sister is not
pretty?" Wang Qiuyue was amused by his silence. Qin Ming shook his head: "Not as pretty as auntie." Anyway, she didn't meet his aesthetic standards. The little baby was gurgling, which was a little different from the most beautiful little sister he imagined.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone was amused by his words.
"Sister, your mouth hasn't opened yet. When it opens in a month, you'll be as pretty as your aunt." Zhang Hongping said, "When you were just born, you looked like a monkey's butt, so smelly."
"Really?" Qin Ming was shocked when he heard his grandmother say this, because his grandmother always praised him. In his mind, his grandmother would never lie to him, so when he suddenly heard his grandmother say this, he took it seriously.
"Really, really, how could I lie to you?" Zhang Hongping said it in a very realistic way.
"Grandma Qin, the monkeys in the zoo have hair on their butts. When Qin Ming was just born, was his body also covered with hair?" Lu Haici also thought it was true. Children always can't tell whether what adults say is true or false, and then they are deceived.
"No way, was I covered with hair when I was born? My brother was born without hair, but with hair on his head. If I was covered with hair when I was born, why am I hairless now?" Qin Ming, who was always a little conceited, was irritated.
Zhang Hongping said, "Because you grow up, the hair will fall off."
Qin Ming seemed to understand.
"You came from school, have you had lunch?" Lin asked softly.
Lu Haici and Qin Ming shook their heads and said in unison, "No."
"Then eat something to fill your stomach first. There are apples and cakes here. You two can have some to make ends meet." She knew that this child had not had breakfast.
"Hey."
The two children did not refuse and ate dry and crispy food.
"Ji Yang was supposed to come, but he had diarrhea when he was about to come. We were afraid that he would stink and stink his sister, so he came first." Qin Ming said while eating an apple.
"I don't stink..." Ji Yang's angry voice rang out at the door. These two people were too mean, they didn't even wait for him. Fortunately, he also knew where the hospital was. When he got to the hospital and asked the nurse, he found out where his aunt's ward was.
When Qin Ming saw Ji Yang coming, he deliberately covered his nose and said, "Oh, it stinks so much."
Zhang Hongping looked at this naughty grandson and shook her head helplessly.
Lin gently waved at Ji Yang: "Ji Yang, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Come and eat an apple to fill your stomach."
"Auntie is still the best." Ji Yang took an apple and looked at the baby in Wang Qiuyue's arms while eating, "Wow, she is so pretty and so white." Facts have proved that Ji Yang's aesthetic taste is also normal.
A military wife joked: "Then your sister is so pretty, can you marry her?"
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sure, if your sister is my wife, I can go to my aunt's house for dinner every day."
Everyone couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he was thinking of this idea. It must be said that this idea is very good.
"No, no." Lu Haici quickly refused, "My sister can't be Ji Yang's wife."
"Why?" Wang Qiuyue asked.
Lin Qingqing also looked at him curiously.
Lu Haici said, "Ji Yang can't wash dishes, can't wash clothes, and can't do housework."
Everyone: "..."
Lin Qingqing couldn't help it, and asked with a smile, "Is your sister going to marry someone who can wash dishes, wash clothes, and do housework?"
Lu Haici nodded, "Yes, my father can wash dishes, wash clothes, and do housework, and my aunt can also wash dishes, wash clothes, and do housework. But Ji Yang can't." He was still young and couldn't express himself clearly, but everyone understood what he meant. A man who can wash dishes, wash clothes, and do housework is a good man.
Ji Yang was not convinced: "Then I can learn."
Lu Haici said: "Even if you learn it, my sister won't let you marry her."
Ji Yang felt very aggrieved: "Why?"
"No." Lu Haici couldn't find a reason, and his sister control couldn't explain.
"If you ask me, you should marry our Xiao Ming." Zhang Hongping teased her grandson, "Xiao Ming, what do you think?"
Qin Xiaoming, who had ideals, said: "No, I don't want a wife." Wife and the like are the most troublesome. Look at his father, look at his grandfather, he would never want a wife.
